BoRAH SHOWS UP EMocRATIc
WASTE

A dispatch from Indianapolis, under
date of September II. says
Senator William e. Borah. of Idaho,
In opening the Indiana camapign of the
republican party. declared today that
the democratic administration practices
undue extravaganza"
THE democratic party was pledged
In its platform in the most specific
terms to economy" said Senator Borah,
yet congress has already up to this
date appropriated 81, III. 600. That does
not include the rivers and harbors bin,
carrying appropriations in cash and
obligations to the amount of $93 900 900
Neither does 1t include any of the APP
preparations made necessary. as It Is
claimed, by the war
The appropriations to date are in
excess of the republican appropriations
of the last congress-. when the repub-
leans We're in power by 800 900. 900.
and the appropriations of the present
congress when completed, will, in my
Judgment, amount to two hundred or
two hundred and fifty millions of dol
lars In excess of that which was de-
nounced as eXtravagance."

NEW FORAGE PLANTS ARE WONDER

One OF the most interesting exhibits
at the coming Clearwater county fair
will be the fodder cane and the fodder
corn raised just above Orofino by Geo
Alteneder. the truck gardener. The
editor of the Republican visited the
Alteneder gardens a few days ago to
see these wonderful forage plants, and
have never been more surprised In our
lives at a vegetable growth. We were
prepared to see corn ten or twelve feet
high, but when we were shown a
growth of approximately sixteen feet.

TWO CIVIL SERVICE IDEALS.

Democratic congressman have attempt
ed to excuse their scheme to displact
republican assistant postmasters by
charging President Taft with having
crowded these officials into the classl
fled service ON the eve of his retire
ment and of having thus attempted &c
give them permanent tenure of office
without having passed examination
They contend that competitive eXamina-
ton Is an essential point of civil serv-
Ice reform and that they are more
true to that reform in requiring pres
ent incumbents to enter such competi-
tion than We're their opponents in evad-
ing this requirement.
More credit could be given these
professions of devotion to civil service
reform did not the democrats propose
to have each assistant postmaster Sc
lected from among the three candidates
standing highest In the examination.
with the plain intention that, If any of
the three be a democrat, he shall be
selected They have adopted the same
device to supplant republicans with
democrats as fourth class postmasters
and have done so successfully They
have expressly excluded income tax of
ficials, deputy marshals, deputy collect
ors and commercial attaches from the
operation of the civil service laws They
have proposed TO take postal clerks,
mailcarriers and the railway mail serv-
ice from under the shelter of the civil
service law. They resort to every
scheme to increase the number of of
fices available to appease the hunger
of the spoismen. With such a record,
their pretense that their scheme to
Gust republican assistant postmasters
Is inspired by greater devotion to the
merit system than has been displayed
by their opponents is rank hypocrisy.
No candid man familiar with the
facts will pretend that the republicans
have been answering In their devotion
to the merit system. Many republicans
of the old, reactonary school would
sgladly overturn that system entirely.
Nevertheless progress has been made
under republican rule in extension of
the merit system. 1t was applied to
the diplomatic and consular service by
republicans, whose work In this regard
has been undone by the democrats. No
attempt has been made by republicans
to take out of the classified service
any class of government employees.
The whole tenor of the debate on as
sistant postmasters showed the two par
ties to have Numerically opposite
ideals. The republicans regard the Of
fees as means of serving the public.
the democrats as rewards for serving
their party The republicans favor men
of their party when they can do so
without injuring the public service;
the democrats would give the office to
their partisans regardless of conse-
quences to the public service.-Ore-

Just Spending the Day.

A woman from out of town walked
into one OF the big hotels the other
morning and wrote her name ON the
register.

with one Of those engaging smiles for
which he Is famous, "can l offer you In
the way of a room?''
"Oh. don't want room," was the
reply. II am just spending the day

Good thing some people spend more
than that with u.s." remarked the clerk
to himself as she turned smilingly
away.-New York Times.

ELEVATINC A BOSS,

Joe Cannon may or not be able to
come back. That Is to be seen. He
has been renominated by the republi-
cans of his old district at a direct pri
mary, and 1t Is to be assumed that they
want him. But he was defeated at the
general election two years ago, and he
may be again.
Yet 1t is to be remembered that Joe
Cannon represented his district faith
fully In congress for almost forty
years. and that the only charge ever
brought against him was that he was
a back number, a reactionary, and a
czar. We have not observed that the
present congress has made any effort
To get out from under the domination
of the party caucus, and 1t is no longer
sufficient to condemn anyone merely by
making the vague generalization that he
Is a reactionary.
But. whether Joe Cannon is a wicked
old sinner or not, and whether or not
Ephraim returns to his idols In the Dan
vile district, there is no doubt of the
mistaken loyalty of the Illinois democ-
racy to their ruler, Roger Sullivan, who
has Just been overwhelmingly nominat-
ed for United States senator. How
shall Sullivan be explained?
Sullivan has been the democratic boss
In Illinois for many years. He is a
practical man. He thinks old ways are
best He delivers the goods, for he
makes 1t his business to have on hand
always large stock of political goods
Now he Is to be rewarded by a place
in the United States senate, If the
democracy shall win in November.
The republican party has elected For
aker. Aldrich and other odious political
bosses from their seats of power. But
what political boss has the democracy
recently turned down?-Oregon ian

GORGEOUS RLuNpERERs.

The enactment of the democratic free
trade tariff law which placed so many
articles of import on the free list is
responsible for the deficit of 500, 900
600 annually which the United States
is facing today. That is democratic ad
ministration of government affairs. 1t
has reduced the revenues of the gov
eminent to a point where they are not
sufficient to cover the expenditures.
The loss of revenue from the tariff tax
was admitted by the democrats at the
time the law was enacted. but, said
the administration leaders and the presi-
dent himself we will enact an income
tax to cover this loss in import taxes.
The law was inacted and failed to
bring in the estimated revenue. This
loss added to the reduction In tariff
revenues has created the big treasury
deficit.
Regardless of the fact that the def
cit existed at the outbreak of the Eur
opean war, and TO cover up the actual
conditions which confront the admins
tration the cry of loss of revenue on
account &C the European trouble was
raised, we were informed that the adj
ministration is compelled to impose up
on the people and the business of the
country a war tax In the form of in
ternal revenue. In caucus assembled
the democratic congressman and SEN
ators. under the leadership of the adj
minstration leaders. have decided that
the practical enactment of the Spanish
war tax law win give relief to the treas
ury from the effects of the free trade
law and agreed, with few additions
such as the taxing of gasolene two
cents a gallon and placing a tax on tele-
phone conversations, to present the
Spanish war tax law for action by con-
gress The democrats are In control of
both branches of congress and there
Is no doubt they will pass a war tax
law patterned after the recommenda
tions of the caucus. When the presi-
dent signs that law he signs the death
warrant of democratic supremacy in
government for the next quarter of a
century, or until another generation
grows up who can be hoodwinked into
the belief that something needs chang
Ing and once more places democracy
In power which will last until the party
again demonstrates its mpotency to
manage so big an institution as the

The result proves what the Recorder
predicted-that the French candidacy
for the senate was inherently hopeless.
and that whatever strength 1t received
was drawn directly from a northern

THE TRUE AIN IN LIFE.

Every boy and girl should at an
early period ask himself this ques-
ton: What am I going to do in
this life? What can I do that will
be most helpful to others?" Then,
by keeping this question ever be-
fore him, he will soon arrive at a
definite aim. He should be like
the nlarksman, take good aim and
be sure to reach the mark. An aim
less person is curse not only to
himself but to the whole communi-
tty. For instance, here is girl who
as no ain; she cares not wilt she
may do in the future and thinks
only of having a good time. Then
certainly >she will influence her
friends in the same way. Even if
they had a purpose, she would com
pletely destroy it. Thus cursing

who comes in contact with her.

The last census shows that
North Carolina contains only 214-
600 sheep of all kinds and ages.
This is slightly over 1000 sheep to
each county in the State. Sin ce
1910 there has been decrease in
the number of about 80 per cent,
the total number in 1900 being
100000. At this rate of decresae1
the number of the sheep produced
will eventually become almost in
appreciable. The large amount of
waste land in North Carolina
could be profitably used in sheep
production. A combination of the
use of waste land with supplement
tai feeds will not only return a
profit but add materially to the
fertility to the farm lands. Aver
aged sized f1ocks of 80 to 60 head
are recommended, larger flocks not
being as profitable under general
farm conditions.

"Kersmith and Kirkshaw deal in
