River that could not be performed
properly by constable? Why, then,
deputy sheriff? If Clearwater county
has any spare cash let it be expended
on roads and bridges. But that would
not feed Blake heelers; it would not
feed the Orofino Tribune, owned by
the gang and run for the benefit of the
same crowd. And, when you come to
think OF it, it is costing the taxpayers
at least So, 900 every year for these two
adjuncts of the Blake machine.
In this connection the Republican
would call attention to the deputy
sheriff deal recently exposed at Bovill,
where another deputy sheriff has been
maintained at the expense OF Latah
county. Pat Malone, according to state
ments of women of the underworld,
has been collecting monthly fines, un-
der threat of prosecution, and pocket
ing the graft, and there are many who
are curious to know why bootleggers at
Bovill have fourished during the dep
utyship Of Malone. Has he been wink
ing at bootleggers just as long as fhe
gang have come across regularly with
part of their loot? In other words,
what is the use of deputy sheriff at
Elk River? People may read between
the lines and draw their own conclus-
ions

LOOKS LIKE GRAFT

There is no more excuse for salar-
led deputy sheriff at Elk River than
there is for one at Pierce, Weippe, or
Ahsahka, and it is hard to divorce the
proposition, under Blake gang rule,
from the idea of graft, maintained at
the expense of the taxpayers, the pur-
pose Of which is to provide meal
ticket for Roy Leeper, the Elk River
spoke in the Blake wheel. The gang
needs political rounder at Elk River.
Under the semblance of necessity the
gang hold the taxpayers up for some
q, 200 per year, and the people pay the
bill. And the Republican defies any,
one to show, from work accomplished,
any excuse on earth for perpetuating
this graft. How many arrests have
been made by Roy Leeper? How many
bootleggeIs in and around Elk River
have been molested? How many war;
rants have been served for any cause?
How much labor pertaining to the Of
flee Of sheriff has ever been performed?
There is about as much use, so far as
the people are concerned, for deputy
sheriff at Elk River as there is for a
company of federal troops. Let the
Republican ask: What is there at Elk

''That pure food man, the Hon. James
H. Wallis, the man who stirs up a
stencil everywhere he goes, is costing
the taxpayers mint of money, and
many business men and private fami-
lies are put to considerable expense
and trouble. Well admit, however,
that he has made it hot for the house
fly as WE'LL"
The Republican will agree that there
is some room for amputation of soft
snaps for politicians who are holding
down positions that might well be dis
pensed with. For instance, the game
department. But how anyone can SER
iously propose the adjustment of the
pure food department of Idaho, with
the splendid record made by James H.
Wallis, is more than this paper can un-
derstand. Better do a little thinking
before proposing any such move.

INDEPENDENT IN COUNTY POLITICS

The Republican wants it distinctly
understood that it is not making fight
on the democratic party in Clearwater
county. More than this, the Republi-
can wants it distinctly underatood that
in county affairs it is absolutely indie
pendent, reserving the right to support
democrats, republicans or socialists, as
in the judgment of this paper the in
terests of the people demand. This
paper has found no fault with Joe
Kaufman, has it? And yet Mr.. Kauff-
man is democrat That alone ought
to convince any sensible citizen that
the Republican is not of that class of
republican papers that looks only for
the brand on candidate, caring MOTH
ing for the fitness of the candidate for
the office.
And this brings up the question:
Why should any sane voter, with the
best interests of the people in mind, be
partisan in county affairs? The Re.
publican will insist on government of,
for and by the Taxpayers of Clearwater
county, as opposed to government of,
by and for the Blake gang.

JUST MERE ROT

Because Kermit Roosevelt is to marry
the daughter of prominent democrat
it is stated that he is about to join that
party. He should be welcomed and
well provided for, because no man did
more to promote the Democratic party
to its present power IN the country than
Kermit's father.-Post Intelligencer.
All OF which is rot. The editor of
the Republican was not entirely in
sympathy with Roosevelt in his posi-
ton last year, believing rather that
Senator Borah took position that will,
in the end, accomplish more in the way
of reform of abuses that have existed
in the republican party, objection to
which was entirely responsible for the
split year ago. Regardless of all this,
it cannot be denied that the republican
party, as the country found it at the
time Taft was inaugurated, needed re-
forming, and much that Roosevelt did
ultimately resulted in exposing such
practices and methods as were objec.
tionable to the rank and file of the re-
publlcans. Who of us today would be
satisfied with the party as exemplified
under the domination of Cannon,
Spooner, Mark Hanna and Hepburn?
Reform was needed, and Roosevelt is
entitled to much credit for the work he
did in forcing reforms that have placed
the people once more in control of the
party.

Cannot Smoke Cigarettes

Lewiston Tribune: The state law,
enacted by the legislature in 1918, de-
nying. the right Of minors to smoke ciga-
rettes, is being enforced in Lewiston,
the third case in which violation of the
law is charged having just come before
Judge Erb. The defendant, who is 10
years of age, was subjected to fine of
$3.50 or two days in Jail. He did not
pay the fine, SO the Jail sentence be-
came effective. The maximum penalty
that can be imposed against minor is
$40 fine, or five days in Jail, but the per-
son supplying the minor with tobaccos
or who conducts place frequented by
minors for the purpose of smoking can
be fined $25 to 500. To violate the
law is not simply an actlimited to smok-
ing cigarettes. Cigars and tobaccos in
all forms are on the prescribed list.

MUST SAW WOOD.

$S6.43 for printing Sc lines of commits
sioners' proceedings in the Orofino
Tribune is dishonest, unjust and illegal.
What are the taxpayers going to do
about it? Why not demand and compel
the return of every cent of overcharge?
It is the business of the county attorney
to enforce the law, and the Republican,
in the name of the people, insists that
the gang paper be made to disgorge.
Suit to compel the Tribune to pay back
every penny in excess of the legal
limit ought to started without delay.
The Tribune received about $40 more
than the law allows.

THE TRUTH ALONE HURTS

There is no use mincing words. The
reason the Tribune and its crowd do
not answer the Republican is because
they can't Nor can this bunch con-
vince anybody that all of sudden they
have changed till they will permit one
lone editor, and him a Failure" ac-
cording to their own story, to drop in
and lambast them till they can't sleep
nights; to abuse and lie and SANDER, as
they tearfully allege, and that they just
take it, the Lord alone knows why.
And this change in gang that from the
organization of Clearwater county has
slandered and abused and bluffed its
way to the front against all opposition?
Does anyone believe it? The trouble
is, as the gang we'll knows, that the
Republican has handed them the cold,
hard, ugly truth; has exposed just a
little of their disreputable and unsav-
ory political records, and they, like
every other gang that has misgoverned
county or state, are unable, when
their bluff and their brute force fail,
to stand exposure. Nor will the Blake
gang stand it. The present revolt all
over the county is but a gentle breeze
to the hurricane Of outraged public SEN
timent that will sweep the last vestage
of the gang from place and power in
the county. Their doom is as plain as
MONDAY sun in blue sky. With
their ship leaking like sieve, it will
be abandoned by every decent citizen
OF the county, and the wreck will be
cast upon the rocks by the waves oil
public indignation that even now are
lashing to fury the harbor of their last
retreat.
The people are going to know the
truth, and the truth will make them
free.

TO MAKE CAKE FILLING.

good recipe for layer cake can be
almost indefinitely varied by the use
of different filings. Here are some
that are reliable and good to taste.
FIG FILLING.-Put half a pound of
minced figs, a .cupful of sherry and a
cup of granulated sugar in a saucepan
ems like jelly. Put between layers of
cake and cover the cake with white
icing, sprinkled with chopped nuts

a half of powdered cugar. quarter of
a cup of grated chocolate and half a
cup of water and boil all together
Cool. Add the beaten whites of two

cially good when used between layers

Problems of Gift Givinq.

How to make a little go a long way
is the problem that confronts the ma
jority of women these last few days
before Christmas. This is one time in
the year when it would seem as though
every friend should be remembered, but
somehow as the, day draws nearer the
funds laid aside for the purpose have
a way of growing aIarmngly small,
while the desirable gifts in the shops
are marked at a figure that looks
amazingly large.
1t becomes almost a question of Civ
ing one friend something that is worth
while, and allowing the other fifteen or
twenty on your Christmas list to go
unremembered. But which friend is to
be the favored one remains stilla prob
lem This neighbor friend has been
unusually thoughtful for your pleas
ure through the entire year. and there
is nothing you would like better than
to give her Z certain piece of cut glass
or silver, which you know she has been
cOVeting so long.
No sooner do YOU decide that this
is quite the incest way you could spend
your Christmas allowance than a pic
ture of your schoolgirl chum, whom
you have not seen in five years, recalls
a long cherished desire to send her a
feather neckpiece; and you saw one
only yesterday for just the price YOU
have in hand.
Then there is sixtyfirst cousin.
with a good, fat income, and you her
favorite relative. She has lavshed gifts
on you until it is no longer possible
for you to accept them without giving
something in return. A trifing re-
membrance would be simply out of the
question. There is positively no way
out of it. She will have to be the one
who receives the Christmas present.
A similar feeling of obligation OF
peculiar friendship is met with through
the entire list. until YOU realize if one
is remembered, they all must be. And
the study begins how to find Il suitable
gift for each friend, the sum total of
which corresponds to the amount that
would buy one really nice present
Money has wonderfully elastic powers
however. when mixed up with careful
thought. and it is not the splendid re-
membrance that means most to the re-
cipient.

Here's a Prize Game.

Here's a Prize Game.
Prize games of all sorts appeal to
! children, and for these prizes raid the
| five and ten cent stores. You will be
surprised at the number of pretty lit
tie things you can pick up for 5 cents,
from rubber balls and whistling bal
looms for the little tots to nice paint
| books, boxes of dominoes, etc, for
those a trifle older.
A variation on the old fish pond idea
is this: Cover clothes basket or tub
or large bowl. according to the num-
or other thin paper. in which small
round holes have been cut Through
ca oh hole run a string. These may
be of different lengths and colors and
the end o. each is attached to small
prize or. present in the receptacle.
Each child chooses his string. but can
judge nothing of the prize to he drawn
by the length or thickness of the string,
and then, when they all pull together,
the paper covering flies into hundred
pieces and out pop the prizes.
Peanut Hunt.
Another game. for which only two
prizes are provided, is the peanut hunt.
For this. hide peanuts in every conceiv-
able place on the lower toor-behind
pictures. in the tufting of chairs. in dark
corners of the carved furniture. etc. The
children are then instructed to hunt,
taking care not to touch bric-a -brac or
vases, where no nuts must be hidden.
This will keep them busy for. perhaps,
ten minutes, then the nuts are counte ed,
and the one who has found the most nuts
receives the first prize, while the child
standing next on the list receives a con-
ISOLATION prize. These can be penwipers
with wee figures on them made with pea
nut heads and gay flannel or silk skirts.
Monkey in Sight"
A game not unlike Il spy is "monkey
in sight All the little guests but one
are banished from the room, and then the
child who is cit hides where it can
be plainly seen by sharp eyes. yet is in a
shadow or on a selftone surface, dark
penny or very fiat, dark button.
| The children are then instructed not
| to pick up the penny when they see it.
| but to walk far from it or look in an
| other direction after saying Monkey in
sight. All must eventually find the
| monkey or acknowledge defeat. which
draws the game out better than Il spy
The one who said Monkey in sight first
is it for the next turn.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Novelty in evening frocks is recog-
nized in unique touches rather than de-
cided innovations. Many design that
at first glance appears to be something
entirely new will upon closer observa-
tion be found to be made up upon ia
miliar lines, differently arranged. or
else, quite as likely. it is an odd ma
terial that turns the trick.
This is aptly illustrated in the model
sketched. None of its features is of
strikingly recent introduction. and yet
the modernity of the pretty frock could
not possibly be questioned. The gem
eral lines are simple enough, but a
pleasing color scheme and dainty dis
posal of trimmings make of it q most
youthful and alluring affair.

GAMES FOR CHILDREN'S PARTIES.

IN the larger cities, amusing youth
fui guests at parties has become a
rne art, and one at which bright young
girls make comfortable incomes Some
times these girls take entire charge of
parties for children, from getting out
invitations to buying wee prizes, plan
ming games and setting forth the feast.
Again they arrange the amusement
features only, sometimes adding to a
gift for leading different games the
delightful art of telling stories that
hold children spellbound.
When party is to be given for the
younger members of the family circle,
and professional entertainer is be
yond the family purse, then the older
girls can show real talent in helping
plan the function which is the event of
the year to the smaller fry.
Nowadays a few refreshments and
ones best clothes do not constitute a
chIldren'S party. Plans are laid as
carefully as for card party or dance
for the older folk. Prizes are provided
and. above all things, the methods of
amusing are not left to the last mo-
ment with sublime faith in an inspira-
tion to be furnished by the children
themselves. ChiFdren who are splen-
did leaders on outdoor Fairgrounds be-
come perfectly paralyZed and stupid
when clad in their best raiment and
turned loose in a parlor.
Hitting the Pig"

games to which the present generation

skill which all children will enjoy.
