Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1914-10-09

The why the OF Bonner county should in
dorse the candidates put forward by the republicans the
disputed fact that the present administration accomplished
in the interests of the people than has been done
before in equal length OF time.
Everyone who travels the roads In this county knows
that there have been highways opened all directions
and communication established between parts of the
county Many bridges built county
poor farm improved buildings added and the main build
ing of the farm completely renovated and made sanitary
The bonded indebtedness of the county has been sub
sanialy reduced and the strces economy has been the
watchword in every office. The the Off
have been recently carefully completely by
expert accountant hired by the state who stated
petng his work i have found the all officers
and everything in good shape
The couny's affairs should be conducted in the
that chaacterzes the management of the
cessfu business corporations 1t is simply a political unit
organized for the purpose of promoting the best interests of
its members; and the the stockholders who
asked to select its officers.
Does it appeal to the intelligence a stakeholder to say
him. You should discontinue the services of those
who by of experience ability and integrity cap
able of rendering superior service and should select and
untred menu If officer, by of efficiency
and close attention to the legitimate duties of his Office
capable of rendering high quality of service the public
reasonable argue that these officials should be
and and untried be put in whose only
they belong different political organization
We have much confidence in the intelligence of the
county citizens believe that they will be misled by
such argument County officers merely human and
always nfaible 1t unreasonable expect that they
will make of judgment They have had the
searchight of public opinion turned them and every
closely scrutnized debated occasionally criticised with
considerable vgor This perfectly and legitimate
and fair minded person should take exception it, but
when the criticism becomes merely venting of personal
spleen, undertaking of character and reputation disto
ton of facts wlfu fabrication and Misrepresentation
ainly passes beyond the domain of legitimate criticism.
No officer should be judged or measured by two
minor incidents of his official term but his should be
summed up and viewed as whole.
We do believe that those who ask that all the
experienced highly trained and competent officials replaced
by inexperienced lily prepared and untred political adve
aries would seriously make the people think that if
such unfortunate experiment tried the affairs of the
county would be successfully managed than has been
done during the past two years
Successful experience in all fields of human actv
ty this especially in conducting the affairs of
county The Bonner county officers doubtless made mistakes
judgment learning the various duties of their respective
offices but it will certainly be admitted by the fair and
preudced voter that have yet appeared any
ticket that entitled to public favor those named by
the republicans of Bonner county.
