President Wilson Responsible
For OrofinO Postmaster

According to the Congressional Re-
cord the United States senate confirm
ed the nomination of P. H. Blake as
post master at Orofno, Idaho, on Oct
ober 81, just few days before the
election. And the people of Orofino
are dumbfounded to think that any
administration would dare thus over
ride the manifest wishes of SO great
majority of the patrons of one of
Uncle Sam s post offices.
The Republican will wave discus
sion of the various charges againt
Mr.. Blake. Suffice it to say that the
democrats protested, and asked to be
permitted to vote on the proposition.
The Orofino democrats protested, and
asked the national democratic admin
istration to permit the people, the
: democratic patrons of the office, to
! select some democrat fitted and suited
for the important position. This re-
quest was denied. 1t apparently ne
: yer received any consideration. The
people didn't have thing to say
about it. The people didn't rule, de-
spite the howl of the democratic lead
ers to this effect.
1t will be remembered that the
democrats of Clearwater county raised
their voices in holy horror, and th'
air was blue with denunciations of P
H. Blake. Washington must hay'
been fairly flooded with democrati
remonstrances and democratic affida

r. H. Blake. 1t was alleged that h
was addicted to the excessive use o
intoxicating Liquors; that he did nc
have TIE confidence of the people, ar
that he was not fit person for tn
position.
All this proved of no avail. tn
people were ignored. The wishes {
the citizens were treated with appal
ent impunity. Pat Blake was cor
firmed just the same, by democrat
senate. The democratic slogan I
LET the people rule used for can
paign purposes, must read "The pc
pie be damned.

The hog has been we'll named the
mortgage litter. We never knew
farmer who stuck to hogs to go broke,
or remain poor if he used any kind of
Judgment and gave his business any
kind of attention. .
Clearwater county ought to become
a great hog and cattle county. We
can rise corn. We have abundant op-
portunity to do business that will
pay. The farmer should wake up.
The Clearwater Republican would
suggest a hog and corn convention in
Orofino in. the near future. 1t occurs
to us that it would be good thing to
bring the farmers together for a day
of discussion of hogs and corn, and if
possible have one or two of. the ex-
perts from the Agricultural College
at Moscow present to lecture to the
farmers.
At this convention the farmers could
gives their experiences with corn and
assist others who have not succeeded
or who have not yet tried corn. How
to to produce the best crops, and the
best varieties to grow might prove
interesting topics at this meeting.
Many matters will suggest themselves
as the farmer thinks it over, and the
Republican urges the farmers to take
the matter up and to hold the conven-
tion sometime this month or not later
than January.

There is nothing that tends more
to arouse the citizens of this country
than spirit of rank injustice and un-
fairness on the part of Judge,
whether it be a justice of the peace
or judge of the highest court in the
land. When a petty justice of the
peace will connive with pettyfog-
ging shyster of lawyer. and the pair
become the willing tools of crooks and
gangs, the word eur hardly fills
the bill when one wants word to
describe such dcbased creatures unless
.'cur" as. applied to despicable
scoundrel signifies al that is low, un-
manly, crooked and foul in human
form. W
To sit upon bench as judge and
deny any citizen his rights is worse
than burglary. 1t is crime against
society of SO grave nature that a
guilty. Judge should be forever barred
from holding public Office, and public
ly horse seYhipped.
There are times when a community
should cease to tolerate wrongs, ant
endure those responsible for them
There are times when tar and feathers
should be literally applied, ard harsh
er means used if necessary to brini
about justice and decent, respect fo
the rights of the people.
+ Courts were never intended to b.
, used as the personal property of an.
man, or as an instrument of persona
