Louis Des Voigne, son of Mr..

SHOULD REFLECT R. 5. M'CREA


In all Our years of association
with men occupying public posi-
tons of honor aud trust, we have
never met Oh known a man more
conscientious in his work, more
fair in his dealings or more gener-
ally respected and admired than
Robert s. MoCraa. county auditor
and clerk, who Is just completing
his first term OF four years in this
Office and who is a candidate for
reelection on the republican ticket.
Furthermore we cannot help but
believe that this opinion is held by
go per cent of the voters of Bon
ner county, regardless of their po-
litical affiliations. Those men who
can see no good in any man unless
he is a member of their party have
gone over Mr.. McCrea's record
with fne-toothed combs to find
some reason to oppose his re-elec-
ton. The only thing they can say
is that he has already served four
years and should give way to some
other man. Just as if the voters of
this county would be so foolish as
to dispense with services as valu-
able as Mr.. McCrea' S in order to
give the position to some one lack
ing experience and the knowledge
required.
Under Mr.. McCrea's manage
ment his Office has been more than
selfsupporting. For the term of
1914 the receipts of the Office
were S8S92 90 and the disburse-
ments were S7733 "a, leaving a
surplus of S1158. 90 over and above
all expenses of the office. During
the 1928 term the surplus was
S1965.13 and during the 1911-12
term the surplus was S2007 10.
This showing is as good and in a
majority of cases better than has
been made by any other county
auditor in the state of Idaho.
Mr.. McCrea followed the line oil
work he is performing for Bonner
county for many years before he
was elected II his present position
His years of experience are inval-
ia de to the people of this county
The detail and the routine work oil
the auditor S office is SO great tha
no person could step into it anC
handle it efficiently without Ions
preparation.
Another strong point in favor o
Mr.. McCrea's reelection is hi
familiarity with the naturalization
and state laws governing the dutiei
of his office. Mr.. McCrea ha
made a special study of these law
and this knowledge has only beef
E acquired through long years o
labor and study.
A vote for Bob" McCrea will
be long step towards maintaining
efficiency and thoroughness in tn,
; management of the affairs of Bon
ner county.

regard in which he is held by his
party Well grounded in business
life, Mr.. Huston, on taking office
two years ago, rapidly grasped the
Intricate problems of his new osi-
ton. He has succeeded in sys-
tenatizing and making uniform all
the books of the counties of the
state, and has changed their book
keeping systems to do away with
diversified systems and changing
them to rapid and more econom-
ical ones. He has also worked out
a much simpler and better method
for handling the claims of the state,
which he will put into effect with
the new year. He has been I'M
able to do this before on account of
old forms to which he fell heir and
which he did not desire to destroy.
Although burdened with extra
work by the last legislature, he has
not increased his force but has sue
ceeded in reducing it. Much OF
Auditor Huston's attention has
been given to outstanding accounts
and with marked success and par
ticularly has he urged a collection
of the transfer taxes. For II years
before entering on the duties of his
present position, he represented
one of the largest loan companies
of America, and he has placed sew
eral million dollars in loans, with
practically no loss. He is an ex-
pert on land values, and as such
has been of great assistance not
only to his own office but to the
various state boards of which he is
a member. Mr.. Huston is as pop
ular personally as he is as a public
official.

ANDREW CHRISTENSEN
Republican Candidate for County
Treasurer.

Andrew Christensen has served
two terms as treasurer of Bonner
county. He has given his whole
time TO his duties and has proven
himself a worthy guardian of the
funds of the county.
Economy is strictly observed in
Mr.. Christensen office A COM
parison of the deputy exl enses,
expenses of tax coll, ctions and
other expenses connected with the
office as shown in he annual state
ments of all the county treasur I :
offices of the state show that there
is not another treasurer flee in
the state that is run more tconom-
ically than that of Bonner county
in proportion to the size of the
county and in proportion 10 the
amounts collected.
There is no reason in the world
for a change in the treasurer S
office. No need for the people OF
Bonner county to educate a new
man to the duties of this Office as
long as we can avail ourselves OF
the services of such valuable ex-
perience as Mr.. Christensen hes.

qcho aoasnt zured By mission 6oWnties has ever
forsaken Mahomet, or Buddha.
We are lavishing millions upon the mis-
slonary families, upon the free Schools hos
pitfalls, &C., which tempt the heather to seek
the bounty.
But after preaching the Gospel, IN the same
place Qnd TO the same people, for more than
SO years, we see them deliberately reject it,
Did Christ tell us to preach more than so
years to the same heather?
Did Paul, Peter, Timothy and Barnabas
stop at Antioch half century, and preach to
that city from generation to generation?
How many "native workers. did Paul hire
to talk Jesus to their own people?
Our Boards are now hiring $4,000 "native
workers" to talk Christianity to their own
people.
According to the reports of the missionaries
themselves, these native workers cease to
work, when they are put off the payroll.
They not only quit the work, but they aban-
don our religion.
Therefore. to keep up the imposing sham
of Foreign Missions, your money is used to
keep $4,000 of the heather making motions
like ''converts."
AS long as they are paid, they make the
motions, and our missionary literature brags
on results
But the moment the alleged convert is
dropped from the payroll, he fops back to
his old faith.
Rev. 7. T. McCrea and many others have
tried to get this truth before the people, but
they are not allowed to do so.
There is a conspiracy Of silence, suppress
sion and intolerant persecution at work among
the higher powers in our churches, and 1t IS
killing the churches.
