Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-03-20

The Clearwater Republican is moi
asking for county office. It is not
even insisting on the election Of Repub-
licans. It is not asking for the defeat
OF County Auditor Kaufman or any
other honest, competent county Of
licial. Nor is P. L. circuit asking for a
public office. Nor is this paper dictat-
ing 10 the people in the matter Of pub
lie officials. We are attacking nothing
but graft, and Directing to nothing but
official corruption and political rotten
ness. Isn't Jim Blake a republican?
And yet this paper is opposed to Blake
gang rule Isn't Joe Kaufman DEM
ocrat? And we are doing all we can
to fill the county offices with men, re-
CARELESS Of party, Of the type Of Mr..
Kaufman. So far as county affairs are
concerned the Republican is not con-
cerned about party brands.

TWO WEEKS AGO

The Republican gave the people some
facts about road culvert that the gang
could not deny. It showed how the
taxpayers Of Clearwater county are be-
ing robbed and outraged by an organ
lied gang that poses as friends Of the
people. That article made the Oro-
fino Tribune crowd squirm, for the
bosses, realizing their predicament,
woke up and began throwing dust in
The hope Of saving their political hides
by falsehood and much noise. Which
accounts for the howl in the last Oro-
fno Tribune. Now Mr.. Taxpayer
make these fellows talk road culvert
whether they want to or not. Ask
F ank Zelenka TO explain why road
culvert comes SO much higher
In Clearwater county than in Latah,
md make him stick to the text. Ask
Pat Blake or l. r. Crow or any OF the
gang tools to tell you WHY. Make
them talk ROAD CCLvERT.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-03-20

Is it real love for the people that
prompts Pat Blake and his gang to
fight SO hard for control Of Clearwater
county, or is this "dear people" gag
simply a lot Of cheap political dope
peddled by graftcrs who are in politics
for what they can make out Of it?
Look at the way county business is be-
ing transacted and draw your own con-
clusions. Tammany pretended to
serve the people. Tammany news
papers howled for the bosses. And
Tammany was run by grafters Of the
rankest kind. Abe Ruef, the San
Francisco boss, who made fortune
out OF graft, stole the people Blind
under the pretext of being their friend
and an enemy Of corporations. Ruef
fought corporations openly to blind the
people, and quietly accepted their
brides for franchises and valuable IA
vors. Abe Ruef was finally exposed
and punished.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-03-20

Why don't the county officials obey
the law and file itemized, bills with
vouchers for money spent? Look up
sheriff Harper's fee report filed last
quarter. Look up County Commits
sioner Zelenka's expense account to
Boise, when he spent s102, or go more
than Assessor Molloy, who stayed two
days longer than Zelepka. On the
way home Mr.. Zelenka stopped at
Pendlet0n and visited Portland. Did
the taxpayers Of Clearwater county
pay the bill? And yet the Tribune
says ''the farmers need the Blake
gang" in office here to protect the
interests Of the taxpayers. The idea
was well illustrated in the cartoon last
week, wasn't it? The truth is the gang
needs the taxpayers for their personal
interests. The people need an honest,
economical county government and are
not getting it.

STAND UP PATRICK.

Patrick II. Blake, being the self
appointed boss OF the court house gang,
let US put him on the stand and
Inquire:
Why did Beal & Co. get that culvert
scoatract without competition, and how
does it come that road culvert costs SO
much more here in Clearwater county,
under Blake democracy and Tammany
gang methods than road culvert costs
the taxpayers in Latah county?
Answer by Pat: 1.-THE Republican is
liar, and Windy Pete is timber tool. !"
Alright Pat, but that does not exact

Pat. "If you don't believe me just

Look here, Pat, suppose Windy Pete
is liar, that doesn't answer my aues-
ton. Why does road culvert come
SO high here in Clearwater county un-,
der Blake democracy, as compared to
culvert in Latah county where there
is republican board?
Pat. growing very indignant, shouts
at the top OF his voice: 1.-THE Clear.

timber trust, gets his information from
Samson Snyder and monthly salary

There you 60 again Pat. Remember
that the culvert graft was put over be-
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-03-20

Talking about taxes isn't 1t about
time to make Jim and Pat Blake pay
their share? The Republican not only
wants to see the timber companies and
the N. P. Ry. Co. dig up, but suggests
that it is time to compel the Blakes to
come across. These men are the
worst tax dodgers in the county. as hos
been shown, and the Clearwater Re-
publican begs to suggest that these fell
lows practice what they preach.
"Make the gang pay their taxes" will
be good slogan for the 1914 campaign.

want to turn Clearwater county over to
the timber companies"
Which is fair sample of the stuff
that is appearing in the Orofino Tri-
bune.
It is fair illustration of the way the
Court house gang is explaining the
various charges Of graft, extravaganza
and political corruption, The anus
ing feature Of it is that they seem to
think the victims Of their extravaganza
and crooked practices are too ignorant
and too dense to see through the gang
methods.
It's the old story of the donkey that
disguised itself in the skin Of lion.
The deception worked till the donkey
opened its mouth and prayed. That
settled it. The gang is squirming be-
cause the Clearwater Republican has
pulled the lion skin off the gang and
exposed measly little donkey.

CUT OUT THE GRAFT.

The Orofino Tribune believes thu
people are fools, or that paper is one
As prominent farmer expressed i
this week: at makes me feel like 60
ing out and throwing up" Why?
The Tribune assumes two PROPOSE
tons. First: That the Blake gang ha.
monopoly on honesty, and that every
body but the Orofino Tribune and the
court house gang is crooked.
Second: That nobody but the court
house gang is in favor of taxing script
land, railroad holdings and timber
companies, and that the defeat Of the
Blake gang would mean that all Of the
aforementioned property will 60 I'm.
taxed.
The Tribune says the Clearwater
Republican is in league with timber
barons because circuit has criticised
the gang for awarding the cruising
contract to Nease without competition.
If condemning graft, or at least rank
extravaganza in doing something that
everybody favors, is evidence Of being
in league with timber barons, then
circuit is opposed to roads and culverts
because the Clearwater Republican
criticised the wasting Of county bonds
In the purchase Of road culvert.
Apply the argument to printing and
the gang can charge that the Republi-
can is opposed to printing because
this paper has objected to paying two
or three prices for printing.
The Clearwater Republican is en-
phatically in favor Of honest taxation.
We are in favor Of putting every acre
Of script land on the tax rolls. and
commend every effort to this end, re-
CARELESS Of whether it was started by
Clearwater county, Latah county or
The Appeal to Reason. The Clear
water Republican will not support tor
county assessor, or county commits
sioner, or county attorney, or any
other county office, any candidate
who does not favor the assessing Of
script land, N. P. railroad land or tim
ber company holdings for all they
should be assessed. This paper will
help to defeat any candidate who does
mot pledge himself to stand for an as
sessnent OF property Of whatsoever
nature that is fair to the farmers Of the
county, and more than this the Clear
water Republican is going to let the
people themselves name their candi-
date for assessor and candidates for
eveay other county office. Does the
Orofino Tribune mean to infer that
the people cannot find a few honest
men outside the Blake gang, who will
not only see that timber companies
do not escape taxation, but 90 farther
and see that after taxes are collected,
the money is honestly spent?
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-03-20

The thing that would do more than
anything to brighten the court house
gang would be an honest exporting OF
county records. Start from the begin
ming and check up every office, show
ing what became OF every penny of
county funds. The next best thing is
to clean out the gang at the coming
election, placing honest officials in
charge, and see the things that can be
dug up when honest officers get hold
of the records.

living here. So don't knock.

The cement industry is the hardest
competitor the timber companies have.
Therefore the timber people do not
want to see big cement industry es-

account for the attitude Of the Orofino

OF the timber syndicates? II looks
like it.

4 Dance Of Victory" by Mrs. Florence
Fleming Moves. will be the feature of
the dramatic fcte and tea which is TO be
given on Monday AT tho Biltmore to cell
brate the birthdays OF Susan p. Anthony
and Or. Anna Howard Shaw.
Mrs. Moves is the woman who led the
barefoot dance in the suffrage pageant
last spring at the Metropolitan Opera
House.
THE Dance Of Victory" is barefooted,
too. but its interest for suffragists lies
I'm its symbolism Of the "unshackling' of
woman. At first the dancer is seen
stretched on the floor. bound up in ten
Yards Of dull gray chiffon. Her face is
covered. Her arms are bound down at
her sides. and her whole body is wrapped
so tightly in the shackles that 1T is with
difficulty that she can even rise TO her
feet when the voice OF Freedom first
rings out.
The dance symbolizes the slow process
OF winning freedom.
At first the woman frees her right
arm, and waves il triumphantly, only to
stop in despair at the realization that the
other arm is still bound. Then comes
a struggle 10 free the second arm. and
when that is done, TO tear away the "hor-
rible thing" that covers the face and hides
the glorious sun and the wonders Of the
world from the womans sight.
When the veil is torn away the dancer
rejoices in her new freedom. waving her
arms and throwing back her head to
breathe in the free air She starts TO
dance around the room. and is again
brought up short with the realization that
her legs are still bound and that her free
dom is only half won.
In the end of course, she triumphs, and
tearing off the letters, throws them eX-
ultngly into the corner. and dances in
complete freedom.
Mrs Moves described the dance yester-
day at her studio. at Carnegie Hall. as
perfect expression Of the struggle of
woman for freedom.
II feel it," she said, mot only as
physical struggle-and it certainly is that,
for those ten yards OF chiffon make II
almost impossible to move-but II is also
a struggle for spiritual freedom. The
other would not be worthy OF being put
into rhythmic form. Nobody would do
a dance of Andromache or Ariadne, free
ing herself from physical chains. No. In
this feel the oppression OF woman
throughout the ages, and the final glory
of the moment when her soul leaps forth
completely free"
In contrast with Mrs. Noyes's suffrage
dance will be the dance OF Lydia Lopou-
