deal, made by betraying and robbing
the people, net the Fidelity bank, Of

$50, 900? Which reminds us of story.
The people once elected ''friend of
the dear people,, to the legislature. A
bill of vital interest to the people came
up. Certain interests wanted the bill
defeated and needed one vote. They
approached the friend of the dear
people" and offere him $1,000 for his
vote, With great indignity he scorned
the bribe. Hell like Patrick Henry
Blake, was friend of the "dear pee
pull" and, like our noble Pat, he would
spill every droplof his precious blood
protecting the "dear peepul" from
grasping corpo3ations and predatory
wealth. But on the quiet, in the dark,
this blatant, poud-mouthed fraud
sneaked around snd delivered mis- vote
against the people he openly pretended
to stand by, and h did it on condition
that the corporation pay him $1,000 TO
a worthless old mare he had up HON.
on his farm. 81

STAND UP. HON. PAT BLAKE.

According to your official bulletin
board you want to know ii the cruise of
the county does not pay. Pay who?
You say it has cost the county only
$50, or IL 1-2c an acre to discover"
s1O,0S5 worth OF property. Does it
make the discovery worth any more to
the taxpayers where it costs $40 per
quarter, than it would were the discov-
cry to cost only $l2 per quarter, or
Tic per acre? II SO, why?
Who gets this extra IS? And If your
friend Nease gets it, we'll admit it pays
Nease. If Slippery Jim gets it, we'll
admit this Blake gang cruise pays the
Fidelity State Bank; if you get the Is
we will not argue the case; it pays you.
And you'll have to admit that the tax
payers lose the $S because Blake
gang county board put over damnable
deal that PAYS somebody an extra 81
per quarter. Of course It pays, and
the undue interest you have displayed
in behalf OF Nease in rotten outrage
against the people inclines one to the
suspicion that this Blake gang cruise
is to PAY you and your gang. Why
pay more than necessary for this worl
unless it PAYS somebody? Polite
ians don't skin the people for fun
NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
WHO GETS THE SO?
On your bill board, Hon. Pat, yo'
have some interesting figures. Yo1
say that at an expense Of only so yo
have discovered" 100 acres OF timbe
worth $1O,889. You say that in l9l
this property was valued for assess
ment purposes at 1864. And you sui
tract and get $l0,035. 4 from 8 leave
5 alright, but from leaves 2, and tn
question is, did you add $40 for commi
sion? Does Nease get it?

Not Good Democratic Principle.
Peck, Idaho, June Is, 1914.

Editor Republican,:
A reliable report has it that Peck is
to have new postmaster. The pres
ent incumbent is an estimable widow
lady with family of small children to
support and has no income except
what she gets from the postoffice and a
small store in connection. She was
appointed during the Taft administra-
ton, SO it is natural to suppose she IS
not democrat.
The fellow that is "swiping" the
only means the poor widow has to
support herself and children, is big,
husky, able-bodied man, who seems to
lack only the will power to do manual
labor. But he is q democrat, and one
