Economy! And yet l. R. Crow has
not hssitated to skin the taxpayers on
county printing.
Economy! And yet the Tribune has
endorsed every graft and extrava-
gance that corrupt gang has i'm
posed on the taxpayers.
Regardless Of who this man Abbott
is, his rights are as sacred and his
claims for just and fair consideration
as binding on the court and the sher-
i'll as though he were the richest citi-
zen in the state, and friend Of the
Blake gang.
The writer, when Mr.. Abbott came
to Orofino fifteen days after the war
rant had been issued, to see why it
was not served, called up Mr.. Crow,
editor of the Tribune and probate
judge, and we were informed that
Abbott was deadbeat; had been on
the county. and was quarrelsome,
and unworthy of consideration. The
court, this man Crow who talks about
getting advice from the insane asy-
lum, made the astonishing fadmission
that he had dismissed the case without
investigation of the facts. And we
are inclined to believe that to the
average mind Mr.. Crow will need no
proof to convince that in this case he
acted like he had made requisition
on the insane asylum. The action Of
the court was not only without COM
mon sense, but it was an outrage to
common decency, and an insult to the
law.
This is true even though the COM
planning witness is a socialist, and
poor, and has been on the county.
And the sheriff had no right to hold
up that warrant, protecting one char
ged with crime, nor he nor the
court presume to ignore the action.
Courts and officers worthy of the
name are at least impartial, and it is
dastardly and arbitrary for those en-
trusted with the enforcement of law
to act impartially. When courts
serve bosses, and officers of the law
are subservient to the wishes of
scheming selfish men then do they
make of government hollow mock
cry, and by their own admissions and
acts have Crow and Harper shown
themselves unfit to serve the citizens
of this county. For when have
prejudiced or corrupt courts and
officers not been menace to even
the lives of citizens should occasion
necessitate their dependence upon the
law to protect their lives, their lib
erty or their property?
The probate judge suggests that the
editor of the Republican tend to his
own business. He says: Peel your
own potatoes first" Which is but
saying that the court and the sheriff
are private propositions and that a
newspaper has no right to criticize
no right to tell the people the facts
about public officials. The Republi-
can will peel potatoes, alright, and
the Tribune need not waste time or
this point. The thing that is hurt.
ing the whole gang is that the Clear.
water Republican has peeled the hide
off the gang, and the peeling process
has caused the Tribune to disgorge il
the matter of that $S6. 43. 1t is the
peeling process, in which the gang
has had the peeling peeled off II
chunks that is raising howl from
men who have been willing tools OF
the gang.

to such q depth that most of them
will not grow promptly, but will lie
in the ground for years. and as they
are brought up by each successive
years blowing will fill the field with
weeds. If the land is lightly disked,
the fall rains will usually cause the
seed to sprout. If the land should
dry off enough, the sprouted weeds
may be killed by disking or harrow
ing, or any other sort of weed-killing
cultivation, during the winter. But
If, as is more probable, the land Is
too moist to cultivate in the winter.
go on the land in the spring as late
as possible with a weed-killer and
kill the young weeds. After this the
land may be plowed and planted to
some late spring crop such as barley
or oats, or it may be summer fall
lowed The greatest danger is in
burying the seeds. Otherwise, the
weed is not hard to kill.
Russian Thistle
fFHE Russian thistle is not true
thistle, but 1t is tumble weed. 1t
entered the state about Is years ago
and has not been very rapidly distrib-
uted. 1t, however, occurs in some
places on the summer fallows and in
otner places to a considerable extent
in waste land. In a few cases 1t Is
making trouble in wheat fields.
The Russian thistle is an annual,
that is, it goes to seed each year and
then dies down. Fortunately, it makes
it's flowers and seed late in the SOM
mer after the grain crop has been re-
moved. 1t should be prevented from
going to seed by being cut after the
grain has been taken off. If it is al
lowed to go to seed, the piles Of weeds
should be burned and the young weeds
killed by clean cultivation.
Live stock, especially sheep. eat the
weed freely while it is young and
thrive we'll on it.
There is no great difficulty in Grad
icating this weed if reasonable care Is
taken.

SEEK DAYTON'S SCALP
Impeachment Resolution In the House
Against Federal Judge.

Impeachment Resolution In the House
Against Federal Judge.
Washington, May 12-Representa-
tive Neely of West Virginia, in the
house formally impeached United
States Judge Alston G. Dayton of the
northern district of West Virginia, OF
alleged high crimes and misdemean-
ors. He lodged number of charges
with the house judiciary committee
and introduced the resolution of i'm
parchment, which will require action
by the committee.
A petition signed by more than
5000 persons requesting the impeach-
ment was filed with the house judi
ciary committee. Some of the charges
we're:
"That Judge Dayton had issued in
functions against labor unions, which
placed them beyond the pale Of the
law. and which made their deliberate
action conspiracy and their members
miscreants and felons; that he has
had men and women arrested upon
the sole charge of asking other men
to Join a labor union, and that he, by
the use of Injunction, has prevented
and inhibited the exercise Of the con-
stitutional rights of the people to as
semble peaceably to petition for re-
dress for wrongs"

GENERALIZATION
NOT COMPULSORY

Sections 4726 and 4727 of the General
Code have been on the statute books for
at least ten years. These sections and
Sections 1880 and 1871 constitute the law
by which schools may be centralized.
Anyone reading these sections of law
will clearly see that the question of the
Capitalization of schools in the past was
left entirely in the hands of the Board of
Education and the people of the school
district concerned.
These sections were amended at the
last session of the Legislature but only
to this extent That instead of waiting
for period of two years for second
vote on the question of centralization,
the new code allows a second election
upon the petition of at least 40 per cent
of the electors of any district. When the
average daily attendance of any school
for the preceding year has been below
twelve, such school shall be suspended,
and the pupils transferred to another
school or schools, as the Board of Educa'
ton may direct. This change does not
necessarily encourage centralization, but
simply the consolidation of schools for
the purposes of economy and eihcieney.
With the exception of these changes,
the laws governing the Capitalization of
schools remain the same as heretofore.
However, the awakening that has gone
forth into every school district in the
State has given the Capitalization of
schools an impetus in Ohio, which awak-
ening is no sense whatever due to any
change in the laws In short, there's
nothing in the new school law that make
Capitalization compulsory.

Swept Northern Ohio.

Toledo, o., May 13. - Sweeping
down from the northwest. the terrific
storm that cost two lives and caused
thousands of dollars property loss in
northern Ohio continued eastward on
its path of destruction. leaving demol-
ished homes and flooded streets in its

UPROLDS WILSON;
ARRAIGNS HUERTA
Senator Owen Airs Mexican Row
In Senate Chamber.
WOULD ENFORCE OUR DEMANDS

United States, He Declares, VIII Not
Be Content With Anything Less
Than Complete Restoration Of Con-
stitutional self-Government In Mex
leo-lnsult TO Flag an Act Intended
to Invite Invasion.
Washington, May IA. - Senator
Owen of Oklahoma took occasion to
defend the administration for refus-
ing to recognize President Huerta OF
Mexico and fbr selling the custom
house at Vera Cruz.
Mr.. Owen declared that Former
President Porfirio Diaz had conducted
a military despotism and had given
away concessions of land, timber,
minerals, waterpower and oil to his
favorites until the people of Mexico
had become impoverished. Huerta,
he said, had gone even further and
prostitution. Senator owen added
that guarantees in the Mexican con
stitution had become a mockery in
recent years. "Over 100000 peo-
pie of Mexico under this system OF
commercial and political monopoly
have been subjected to grinding pow
erty and ignorance" said the senator.
Senator Owen recited the charges
made by Senator Dominguez against
Huerta, how he had sacrificed his life
in order that the truth might be
known. He charged that Huerta had
taken no prisoners of war in his mill
tary operations, but that every Off
Ger, high and low, as well as many
of the common soldiers, were stood
up before the firing squad and put to
death in summary fashion. Senator
Owen recited the insult to the flag as
an act intended to invite invasion.
He added that Huerta's plans had
failed.
THE United States would not now
under any circumstances be content
with anything less than the most
complete and absolute restoration of
constitutional self-government in
Mexico" said Mr.. owen. "The Unit
ed States is face to face with the res
toration of order and peace and JUS
tice in Mexico. Let us rejoice that
we have the mediation of Argentina,
Brazil and Chile in bringing about
safety to human life in Mexico; but
Iat M mictalyp be made We must de-
mand order, constitutional govern
ment, and that the right Of sovereign,
ty be placed in the hands Of the peo-
pie of Mexico under safeguards that
will promise liberty, human rights
and stability of government to the
people of Mexico and assure our own
future peace and security, and II
necessary we must enforce these de-
mands at the cannon's mouth"

Joke On Huerta.

New York, May IA. - General HUI
erta's declaration that several hun
dred Americans fought for Villa at
the taking of Torreon is a big joke
on General Huerta, according to Her
bert M. Dean, who took the moving
pictures of the battle of Torreon. Mr..
Dean says that the American uni
forms on the dead were secondhand
clothing bought by Mexican soldiers
from dealers in army supplies in El
Paso. The old cast-off uniforms are
sold by the hundreds at FL Paso and
elsewhere for $1.50 apiece.
