NO STRINGS TO
The TIMES; IT
Is INDEPENDENT

1 HAD A DREAM last night.
IT WAS A very beautiful dream.
I SEEMED TO be walking down
Pacific avenue.
but NONE OF the newsboys
were shouting.
AND NOBODY was lodging autos
in the street.
AND THERE were no holdup
stories in the paper.
NOR MURDERS, nor suicides.
AND 1 SAW Chief Ardells.
AND HE WASN'T riding in an
automobile.
AND EVERYBODY was saying
we had fine police depart
ment.
AND THE BEST mayor in the
country -.
AND THE LOvELIEsT set Of
councilmen.
THEN I SAW Nick Lawson. -
AND HE WAS wide awake.
AND OWEN WOODS looked
pleasant.
AND P. II. HEBB was satisfied
with things in general.
WHILE HOMER EDWARDS re.
fused to talk about snakes.
AND PERCY HILL ran the city
hall elevator in silence.
AND NEVER cracked one bum
Joke.
AND A. U. MILLS came along
without a cigar in his face.
PRETTY SOON Rev. A. d. Shaw
hove in sight.
AND HIS VOICE had changed.
UNTIL IT SOUNDED real human.
DOC AUSTIN blew down the
street.
AND NEVER mentioned the port
district.
AND WAYNE KEYES walked by
with real Nat on his head.
AND NOT THAT awful green
monstrosity.
AND AFTER A bit I saw Cover
nor Lister and Rem Dow.
THE GOVERNOR told Rem he
was a very bright fellow.
AND rem SEEMED to be fond
of Ernest.
WHILE I LOOKED.
DOC CALHOUN and Harry john
ston came along arm in arm.
THEY WE'RE real friends.
STAGGERED weakly against a
post.
AND SHERIFF JAMESON and
Billy Reed approached.
THEY FAIRLY seemed to love
each other.
THE NEXT MINUTE 1 found my
self shaking hands with The
Rounder.
THEN 1 WOKE UP.

10-acre tract in North Sacrament

THE GANG IS BUSY.

The effort of the Blake gang is to
sow broadcast the statement that the
republican organization kept republic
cans from filing for this or that nomi-
nation. In a way this is true. 1t is
true to the extent that an effort was
made to get the best citizens of the
county to enter the race for county
Offices; it is true that the organiza-
ton, and the Clearwater Republican,
which does not belong to the organi-
cation, encouraged and urged the peo-
pie of the various precincts of the
county to wake up and exercise their
rights as citizens. 1t is true that an
effort was made to have the various
precincts of the county represented on
the republican ticket, and to see that
the small precincts did not hog all
the offices. If any section of the
county is not satisfied the trouble can
not be charged to the republicans of
Orofino. Go inquire of the leading
republicans of the Gilbert country and
see If you can find one responsible
member Of the party who will saw
their section Of the county was not
fairly treated. Ask if the republican

Senator Brady has made good. His
enemies will admit this, and if it be
true the reason for making a change
is not apparent. Suppose, Mr..
Farmer, you hired a man to work on
your farm, and he made good, doing
his work to your entire satisfaction,
would you fire" this man simply be-
cause other men, admittedly compe-
tent, wanted the job? Hardly, and
the same common sense judgment
ought to prevail when it comes to hir-
ing a public official. 1t has been one
of the hardest things that has ever
come to the republicans to takes sides
in this senatorial fight. Four good
citizens are in the field, and this
paper would be only too glad to find a
way to honor all of them. But this
is impossible, and the republicans
must decide. Mr.. Brady now has the
work in Washington; he has valuable
committee assignments, and has al
ready acquired much valuable knowl-
edge that any new man must learn.
He has done we'll, and probably is as
able any Of the four. What, then,
are the people to gain by repudiating
Senator Brady?

Elk River Sentinel: Now people
know just what they are up against,
and there are candidates enough to
make the coming primary campaign
interesting and the general election
hard-fought. Elk River comes out of
the fray with four strong candidates
on the republican ticket and one on
the democratic-or two, if our next
door neighbors and friends at Dent
are counted as Elk River people.
The newcomer in the race is E. M.
Grant, of Elk River, who has filed as
republican candidate for the state
senate. 1t is useless in this precinct
to say anything about the good sound
judgment, public spirit and broad ex-
perience which will make him con-
spicuous among the gang of windjam-
mers and nonentites which the people
too often send to Boise. Born in an
Ohio county which never elects a
democrat, he has always been re-
publican although never active in
politics in any way. He has been a
travelling man, a railroader, rising
to the chief dispatcher's Office, and
a merchant in the Clearwater basin
as we'll as in this county itself for
years. He is not only we'll fitted to
fill the Office creditably but to make
a good canvass for the position.
This is political Office, pure and
simple, and Mr.. Grant should get
the vote of every republican and of

A friend writes inquiring if we can
recommend M. E. Lewis for COVER
nor. Since there may be others who
are seriously inquiring for the
light" we will say that we have
been sincere with our readers in the
matter Of governor. This paper has
supported M. E. Lewis because, in
the first place he is northern man,
and second, because we are personally
acquainted with Mr.. Lewis and know
that he is the right man for the
place. We have worked for Mr..
Lewis absolutely without compensa-
ton other than S. for his announce
ment. And we will tell the public
why we have done this. We like to
know that Mr.. Lewis is going into the
governors chair with clean hands.
We know that if he violates the law
to get into Office he would violate the
law after he got there. The law
limits the expenditures of candidate
for governor to less than $500, which
ties the hands of an honest man, max
ing it impossible to buy newspaper
support beyond trifle for the initial
announcement. The Clearwater Re-
publican understood this when Mr..
Lewis entered the race, and before
we devoted line Of space to his can
didacy. We have worked for this
man solely from sense of duty to
the people, whose interest we have
tried to serve in this campaign.
We desire to make final appeal to
the republicans of Clearwater county
in behalf of Mr.. Lewis, the man who
has had the courage to not only point
out where conditions may be bet
tered, but has had the good sense and
the ability to tell how he can, as
governor, improve conditions. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Lewis
has shown where he can save the peo-
pie of Idaho $50, 900 year without
impairing the public service. And it
takes brains and experience and back
bone to do this. The usual thing is
for candidate to play the dema-
gogue, howl about high taxes, and
then, when elected, forget about it.
Lewis will honestly do what he says
he can do, and there is no question
about it in the minds of men who
know Mr.. Lewis.
Clearwater county ought to gives
Lewis solid vote. There is not one
reason why any republican should vote
for Haines or Stevens or any other
nominee for governor when there is
an opportunity to vote for northern
man whose fitness for the Office is of
the highest character.
When you go to the polls at the
primary election place an x after the
name of M. E. LEWIS.

MARTYRS,

Of all the outrages of the European
war none have seemed more unjust,
uncalled for and more outrageous than
the shooting Of Socialists by the Ger
man emperor's order because the So
cialists refused to 60 to war. 1t is
reported that no less than fifty So
cialists were thus officially murdered
by the German military authorities
who, mad with the lust of war, would
that every man must join in the cru
SADIE Of wholesale slaughter Of other
men just because the emperor declared
war. Like millions Of other men
these Socialists could probably not
understand why the present war is be-
ing fought, and prefering peace to
slaughter, offended royalty by refus-
ing to commit murder. Talk about
wrong! The blood of these martyrs
to peace and humanity will some day
be demanded at the hand Of Justice,
and the thrones of Europe will totter
and decay under the feet Of an
outraged manhood that will sweep
from power the tyrants of this earth.
Germany deserves to lose, and prob
ably will. The time has passed
when any nation can achieve glory at
the point Of the bayonet drawn with
out cause for the qualification Of .
war-mad military Emperor.

OUR COUNTRY.

The present European war ought to
bring q feeling Of pride to every
American citizen, and it ought to
make us love our glorious country
more. Here the humblest citizen
has right to participate in govern
ment; we elect our officials from the
president down, and there is no
position within the gift of the Amer
lean people that is not within the
realms of possibility for the humblest
boy. President Garfield was canal
boy; Lincoln grew up from obscure
parents and became the greatest pres
ident this nation has ever had. All
about US today are examples of poor
boys who have won their way to fame
and wealth and position through their
own merits. And our government
guarantees to the humblest citizen
more rights and more liberty and
more opportunity than can be found
under any other flag on the face of
the earth.
Here the citizen is the government;
here the people are the nation; here
we can have the kind of laws and the
kind Of government the people decree.
And somebody will exclaim that we
do not! Very we'll, we do not always
have all our rights, and the people do
not always rule and we do not al
ways have the kind Of laws the people
want, but we can have when the peo-
pie wake up and exercise the rights
guaranteed them by the constitution
of the land. Suppose we take gov
eminent ownership of railroads.
We don't have them because the ma
jority of the people do not believe
in it. And every Socialist knows
that the government, or the people,
who are the government. can own
the railroads when the majority Of
the people are converted to the
proposition. Here free speech is
guaranteed, and political and relig-
ious liberty a reality.
In the matter OF war our president
must have the consent of congress,
and congress has never and will
never crafty the whim Of presi-
dent who would plunge the nation
into war for the qualification Of
military ambition.
How can American citizens contem-
plate the present European horror,
with its needless misery and woe
its torn and bleeding men and dis.
tressed wives and children, all be.
cause crowned heads decreed war,
without more love and more respect
for America?

In a few days the citizens of this
county will be called upon to nomi-
nate for the various county Offices the
candidates from whom the people
will in November choose their officials
for the coming two years. To the re-
publicans we would urge the most
serious consideration of this business,
and suggest that each of US lay aside
as far as possible our personal preju-
dices and nominate for the various
Offices the best candidates. May each
of us try to be big in every sense of
the word, having in mind only the
best interests and the welfare of
the people. Let us remember that
where two or three aspire for one
Office that Of necessity somebody must
be disappointed; that somebody must
be defeated. Let us be as good
losers as we expect the other fellow
to be if we win, and in every case
play the part Of the man. If we can
not be good loser we have no right
to be a good winner. And there il
another way to look at the PROPOSE
ton: Are we republicans for Office,
or for principle? Are we to kick
over the traces and fight the success
full candidates unless we are fed or
pie and elected to Office regardless Of
the fact that we get licked in fail
fight in the primary? Have we 8
yellow, jealous streak that makes u,
peeved unless we can have our way

may not be a Blake tool, but it is

know it. Wake up and work for the

Representative George A. Neeley
has enlisted the cooperation of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture in an effort to find the crop
best suited to the dry-land Sec
tions of Western Kansas. Through
Mr.. Neeley's efforts, the Depart
ment has distributed among the
farmers of the Seventh district a
large quantity of feterita, back hull
kaffir corn, and dry land alfalfa
seed, all of them supposed to be Of
a particularly hardy type and
well calculated to withstand con-
ditions of drought. The seed was
sent in packages containing a suf-
ficient quantity of seed to plant an
acre and thousands of these pack
ages we're distributed. In this way
a thorough test of the merits OF
the three varieties of forage will
be made and it is hoped that they
will be found admirably adaptao
to the soil of western Kansas, Mr.
NeeIey has received many requests
for seed and, although he has
secured twice the quota of seeC
originally allowed him by the
department, he has not been able
to honor all the requests that have
reached him. He now has on filt
more than a thousand application.
which he has not been able to have
filled. He is endeavoring to secure
enough seed to take care of thest
requests but that will be the limit
of his allowance. The demand fol-
the seed has been heavier than hC
anticipated and he regrets very
much that he is not able to take
care of additional requests.

Scientific Bridge BUILDING.

Calgary Alberta, has recently solved
a problem of bridge construction In
novel manner. The town lies on
each side of the Bow river, that por.
ton on the north bank being built on
the high bluffs which border the river.
To bridge the river ON an incline to
the top Of the BLUM would have been
to neglect the portion Of the city lying
at the foot OF the blun. To make a
deep cutting would have spoiled much
of the property. The problem was
solved by constructing level bridge
across the river, and then gaining the
heights above by an inclined tunnel
bored through the cliffs.
