the newspaper reports which have ap-

the druggists of the state oppose DR..
Browns reappointment on account of
his efforts to enforce the antinarcotic
law, have done gross injustice to the

REMEMBER THIS FACT.

Always keep these facts in mind
the Orofino Tribune belongs to the
court house gang. The Orofino Tri-
bune is supported at the expense OF
the taxpayers, and cannot exist If the
taxpayers wake up and refuse to stand
and be skinned for the benefit of a
paper that lives at the expense of the
people. Therefore the Tribune can
see only calamity in the defeat
of the ring that owns it, and
provides the substance that feeds it.
Therefore the Tribune, like any other
pig, squeals Justly when an effort is
made to wean it. But shouldn't the
Tribune's howl be taken with due con-
sideration for the facts in the case, and
shouldn't it's claims Of love and con-
Germ for the welfare of the people be
accepted with grain of salt? ISM
it the same kind OF love for the people
that caused the Standard Oil trust tt
weep for the people, and the stee
trust to lay awake nights lest some
thing happen to the people, or the ic'
trust, that is so solicitous lest some
thing hurt the people? Naturall.
enough those who exist by specia
privilege, by graft, by pull enjoye'
because of political power, are tn
friends of the masses that furnish tn
grafters with fat picking. The Tam

Sherman said: "War is He'll" And
it is. 1t means the sacrifice of human
life, the destruction of property, the
lmpoverishing of nations, the needless
waste of human energy and valuable
substance. Let us not forget this,
even though war is often just, humane
and necessary. But there never was
war that could not have been settled
by arbitration had the spirit and teach
ings of the Prince of Peace been given
full sway. Old Huerta was too proud
to apologize for an insult. Yet
how much more manly and how much
more courage and bravery it would
have shown had he done that which
was right. With nations as with men,
brute force is the argument of the
bully and the tyrant. It is fortunate
thing that In the case of Huerta and his
kind that he is dealing with country
that, though slow to anger, is mighty
when aroused, and that is able, now
that it is forced into it by an insolent
murderer, to exact compliance with
its demands. But even that does not
change that awful truth that "war is
He'll"

progressives have in no measure COM
promised their progressive principles.
The Tribune natura ally hopes to keep
its fat printing graft, and it naturally
wants to divide the opposition SO that
the owners of the Tribune may again
be elected, and again skin the taxpay-
ers for the benefit of the Tribune.
And it is not surprising that the Tri-
bune should make every effort posi-
BILE to have progressive county ticket
in the field. But there is one sure
thing-neither the Tribune nor the
court house ring will get any assist
ance from Jack Harlan or any other
real progressive republican. Progress
sive republicanism was originally a
protest against the very things that the
Tribune and the court house ring rep
resent and stand for. And progressive
republicanism will exist just as long
as the conditions that brought it into
being exist.

cause there is no chance to develop
this rich county until the county is
taken from the grasp of gang that is
throttling it, and standing in the way
Of development.
We located here because we believed
in the future Of this county, and after
a year in south Idaho found nothing as
promising. We bought the Clear
water Republican without the aid Of
any timber company, or the promise OF
help from any timber company, and
whether we live and continue to pub
lish the paper, or go broke and discon
tinue the paper, depends entirely or
whether or not the people of Clear
water county, by their support, make
it possible.

|. r. CROW WILL NOT DO.

The Republican still insists that it
has right to recognition at the hands
Of the secretary of the county fair; that
it has right to copy OF all notices
and reports of whatsoever nature in
which the public is interested; that !.
r. Grow, as Secretary, did not give the
Republican a copy Of his annual report,
nor an opportunity to publish the no.
tice of the annual meeting for the cleo
ton Of two new directors for 1914. We
have right to these notices, and the
fact that Mr.. Grow refused to furnish
the Republican copy justfies the
charge that he considers the county
fair a sideshow that belongs to the
court house gang, of which he is a will
ling pawn. Why didn't he furnish the
Republican with copies Of the notices
and reports referred to? Such con-
temptable fellow is unfit to fill posi-
ton requiring man OF good sense and
fairness, and in the name of harmony
and the biggest and best fair ever held
in the county, the Republican appeals
to the directors to select a secretary
who will be fair to all factions. The
Republican would object just as siren
uously to a secretary who would mis-.
treat the Orofino Tribune. 1t does moi
want anybody ignored. 1t does moi
want a Clearwater Republican fair
but Clearwater county fair. The Re
publican wants an opportunity to boos
the fair without pay, and it wants :
secretary who will accord the Republi
can the same courtesies that is due an,
and all papers in the county. Ism
that fair, honest proposition? Ism
it right? 1t might be worth while t
mention that the editor of the Republi

GOUGING THE FARMER.

The average farmer will tell you that
he cannot net six per cent. on the
money his farm is worth. After ex-
penses, which include large sum for
taxes, most Of which goes to support
comfy government, and the larger
part of which is roads and schools, the
farmer, after working hard all the year,
or the merchant, struggling to keep
his head above water, or the working
man, up against it to make both ends
meet, can see no joke in the wasting Of
county funds. There is no joke for the
taxpayers when they see a gang of
public officials working all manner of
graft, the results Of which are invari-
ably the skinning Of the people. 1t is
no joke, SO far as the people are con-
ceEned, when they see the court house
ring, their county officials, elected to
look after the best interests OF the peo-
pie, exerting themselves to the end
that Beall & Co. may enjoy monopoly
on county road culvert, and the deal
means that every foot OF culvert pur-
chased represents a waste of from II
cents on 1O-inch, to 33 cents foot on
18-inch culvert, besides the freight.
There is no joke about this. There is
no joke for the taxpayers when they
see contract, amounting to anywhere
from 100000 to an eighth Of million
dollars given to Portland cruiser,
without competition, when the work
can be done for at least sixty per cent.
of the contract price. 1t is serious
business when people see their county
officials paying needless money, more
than $1,000, on bridge, when ad
joining counties have been for years
getting the same company to build
steel bridges with free plans and speci-
fications.
Instead Of being a joke, as the Tri-
bune would try to make the entire is
sue in the county appear, it becomes. a
monstrous outrage, public calamity, a
matter that will, if the people are once
informed, result in the political down.
fall of the court house ring. And the
ring knows it.

SOME THINGS ACCOMPLISHED.

The Orofino Tribune and the court
house ring have tried very hard to con-
vinceethe people Of Clearwater county
that P. L. circuit is very dangerous
and very bad citizen. Why don't they
tell the people that circuit is the fellow
who, without assistance, in the face of
opposition, took the first county ex-
hibit that ever went from Latah county
to the Spokane Interstate fair, and
brought home the sweepstakes; that
few weeks later, at our own expense,
we took car load OF apples from
Latah county to the National Apple
Show in Spokane and again carried off
the sweepstakes against most OF the
famous and noted apple districts in the
state OF Washington and Oregon.
That for seven years we devoted our
time, energy and money to the estab-
fishing of one manufacturing plant in
Moscow that is now spending annually
thousands of dollars in wages in Mos
COW. That we helped to bring about
paved streets, bigger and better pub
lie schools, better roads, and was one
OF the few who stuck to it that Moscow
could have good commercial club,
and finally helped to establish one
We also, because OF our position as an
editor, had much to do with the estab-
fishing OF successful county fair, and
anywhere in Latah county today it will
be admitted that we are successful as a
sane booster OF any town and county
in which we make our home.
Il might be interesting 10 the people
Of Clearwater county to know that the
editor OF the Republican was offered a
position in the publicity department Of
the Northern Pacific railroad company,
and that the Potlatch Lumber Co.,
when it wanted to interest immigration
in Latah county, republished and circu-
lated thousands OF copies Of literature
containing columns and columns of mat
ter we had written and published in
the Troy News and the Moscow Star
Mirror relative to Latah county, at our
own expense, for the benefit Of the
people OF that county.
Ii might be interesting to know that
ii was to boost Clearwater county that
p. /. 0rcatt came to Orofino, and in
stead of being tool OF the timber
companies" we are at the service oil
the people who have invested their
money here, and who desire nothing
SO much as the material advancement
Of this undeveloped empire
1t was to boost Orofino and Clear
water county that Sherm and John
Mix repeatedly urged us, from the day
these men invested their money in
Orofino, to locate in Orofino, and not
to fight any political ring or gang.
And the reason we are fighting is be-

"The way of the transgressor is
hard" says the good Book, and it is as
true politically as it is morally. Polit-
ical rascals even though they protest
most loudly that they are working for
the interests of the people, always
come to grief, and this will prove true
in Clearwater county. The local Off
Gals, charged with improper official
conduct, protest too much, which Of
itself arouses suspicion that things are
not just right. Honest officials don t
usually throw fits and want to fight
if somebody starts to investigate their
official conduct.

SHAME ON 'EM.

&
until they had conferred with the
court house ring, and found out what
Pat and brother Jim wanted. What
right has anybody to do anything here
in Clearwater county until they have
a permit to think and act. Isn't Pat
the whole show here? Don't he own
the county? Don't he run the county?
Didn't Assessor Molloy resign when
Pat told him to? And didn't the county
commissioners get into the collar and
give that contract to Nease when Pat
Blake jumped into the fight and told
them that he had fooled as long as he
proposed to fool; that he wanted his
county board to make contract with
his man, at the price he had agreed
was fair price? And didn't they get
into the collar and do as Pat wanted
them to do? Didn't they do what Pat
and Jim wanted them to do IN the mat.
ter Of county printing, even though it
skinned the taxpayers? And isn't it
presumptious for Jack Harlan or any
other progressive to exercise ordinary
political privileges without first asking
the Orofino Tribune and Pat or Jim
Blake? Who is Jack Harlan that he
has the nerve to express political
opinion, even though he is arepublican,
without finding out whether or not it
will be alright with the head of the
democratic machine? We say this
without reflecting in any way on real
democrats In speaking Of democracy
in Clearwater county, as exemplified
by the Blake machine, we always refer
to the Tammany brand.
We want all decent democrats to
keep this in mind, for the Republican
has nothing but respect for real demo-
Gratis.
Seriously, let us inquire what bust
ness the Orofino Tribune, paper that
belongs to Tammany ring, run for
Tammany ring, and living on the peo-
pie through exhorbitant and shameful
Tammany methods, has to dictate to
progressive republicans, and to tell
them what they should or should not
do? What is there in common between
the court house ring and graft and ex-
travagance, and progressive republi-
can principles? If John Harlad sees
fit, because he believes that such a
course will result in the defeat of what
he believes to be corrupt court house
ring, to work with other republicans
what business is it of a paper that
belongs to the gang that Jack Harlan
believes is unfit to serve the people, to
raise an objection, and what right has
this ring organ to come out and say
that the progressive republicans can
not oppose ring rule?
More than this, let it be remembered
that the progressive republicans had
no county ticket last election, and in
refusing to put an independent county
ticket in the field this year there is no
indication OF abandoning of progress
sive republican principles. Last election
the progressives in Clearwater county
voted for Mr.. Martin for governor, and
may do SO again this year. And it is
hard to see why Jack Harlan or any
progressive should be the subject of
public condemnation or ridicule at the
hands of petty ring organ when these
