OLD DEPOT NOW

The work Of removing the old
depot to the east side Of the main
line tracks was completed last Sat

task and took longer than Il was first

also received a fresh coat Of paint.

FRED COOLING
!. IS FOR BRADY

Former State Senator Fred R.
Gooding, Of Shoshone, urges upon the
thinking people of Idaho the vital i'm
portance of returning Senator Brady
to Congress. In 9 recent interview
he said:
81 want to emphasize the import
anee of electing Senator Brady and
our candidates for Congress. The
tariff question is not dead. The logic
Of the position Of the republican par
ty upon this issue has been material
" accentuated by democratic legIs-
lation. The so called "war tax" IS
not a war tax but democratic deficit
tax. 1t would have been necessary
had there been no war. The duty
has been taken of Of what the farmer
has TO sell, but has been left upon
what he has to buy. The reduction
of the tariff has been upon the finish
ed products and not upon the raw ma
teriaIs of the country. When we re
call that we are the producers Of r.
material, the baneful effect upon On
west can hardly be easily realized.

took deputy revenue collectors and
marshals out of civil service.
Into the Moon railway pay bill,
which passed the house August IL,
was deftly inserted a provision re-
quiring all assistant postmasters in
the United States to take new civ
il service examination. The only ex-
PLANTATION is that it viii offer oppor-
tunity for democrats to take an ex-
animation and be appointed regard
less of the fitness of the present in
cumbent, if he happens to be a re-
publican.
Before the passage of this bill,
however, Cullop, of Indiana, who is
probably spending his last term in
congress, succeeded in attaching an
amendment removing not only assis-
tant postmasters, but all clerks, city
and rural carriers from under civil
service rules and allowing the post
masters to appoint them for four
years.
This amendment got by in the
committee of the whole with large
attendance. They saw an easy
chance to get away with this because
under rule of the house of repre-
sentatives no record vote can be had
when the house is sitting as a com
mittee Of the whole.
Next day, however, the vote came
up in the house for confirmation
But in tine meantime the newspapers
had printed stories of this attempt
to extend the spoils system and over
nigt democrats had grown frighten
ed at the thought of how their votes
on this question might look to the
folks back home. So, with the soliC

A BROKEN PLEDGE;
MERIT SYTEM SHATTERED
Democratic Congressman Vote -Four Million Dol
lars to Reward Political Henchmen-- Pay no
Heed to Platform Pledges.

Washington; Oct. 10 - Through
legislation in congress, the demo-
Gratis have provided nearly four mil
lion dollars with which to reward
democratic henchmen for political
purposes. Had not the republicans
and progressives been vigilant and
forced the democrats to place them
selves on record, the spoils system
would have profited by not far from
seventy-five million dollars.
Into nearly every one of the big
bills that have passed the house the
democrats have inserted provisions
doing away with the merit and
ability" basis of appointment. Here
are some of the acts which authorize
government officers to ignore merit
and ability in making appointments;
the sundry civil act of 1918; the in
come tax division of the tariff law;
the new currency act; a special act
authorizing the secretary of COM
merce to appoint men outside the
civil service; the Moon railway pay
bill, and others.
Outside of congressional action,
the most notorious instance of break
ing down civil service rules is that of
Postmaster General Burleson. In
the examination of fourth class post
masters, the three standing highest
on the list are under civil service
rules certified for appointment. I'm
der Burleson, if a democrat has OBJ
tanned 20 per pent or over, he is an
pointed, no matter If the other two
attained higher grade than he
Some excuse is always found to land
democrat.
A bunch of juicy plums was hand
ed out to the faithful in the curren
cy act, which was supposed to b
non-partisan. In reality it provide
that all attorneys, experts, assis
tants, clerks, and other employee
shall be employed without regard t
civil service.
The tidy sum of 500. 900 was pre-
vided in an act approved July 18 Q
this year and passed by democrati
votes, in order to allow the secretar
of commerce to make appointment
outside the civil service, these al
pointments to be accredited, to tn
state department.
Another attack on the merit an
ability system was made in the SUI
dry civil act of June %, 1918, whiC
authorized the secretary of the trea
ury to ignore the civil service list
employing assistants for the supe
vising architect.
The income tax division of the ta
iff law authorizes the secretary
the treasury and the commission
of internal revenue to appoint agen
deputies, inspectors and others vii
out any regard to the civil servi
or its rules.

AFTER YOU ARE FORTY

Forty years is middle age or should
be. People who squander their youth
are old at forty; everybody needs to
give a little more care to health and
careful living after passing the for
tieth milestone.
The reserve of strength is not what
II used to be. Nature needs little
help IL we are to continue the work
and worry of modern life. To most
people DR.. Williams Pink Pills, nom
alcoholic, but a supporting tonic, gives
lust the necessary assistance.
These pills make the thin blood
rich and red, carry nourishment to
weak and infiamed nerves, increase the
appetite and make indigestion nor
NAL, correct sleeplessness and most
forms of headache. Try them for any
trouble caused by thin blood or weak
nerves such as anaemia, rheumatism,
neuralgia; sciatica, lumbago, indiges-
ton. sick headache or st. Vitus' dance.
1t is surprising how many diseases are
due to thin and impure blood, how
quickly they yield when by proper
treatment the blood is built up and
the starved nerves nourished. DIR.
williams Pink Pills contain no pois-
onous or habit-forming drugs and can
not do harm.
Pamphlets on the treatment of dis
eases of the blood and nerves will be
sent free by the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your
