LISTEN TO THE JUDGE.

Copyright, 1911, by E. K. Wooley.)
The reform divorce judge had this
to say concerning the increasing num-
Der of divorce cases:
Money is at the roo of evil in fully
40 per cent of III divorce cases. The
American woman seems dissatisfied
unless she is permitted to receive her
husbands pay envelope unopened and
administer its contents without assist
not a square lea for the man who
works from fifty to eighty hours 4
week.
st don't blame American men for
refusing to permit their wives to han
die their. money. The average Amer
lean woman is not competent to han
die her husbands salary. She doesn't
know the first thing about the value
of a dollar. She spends promiscuous-
ly, running to bargain sales and pick
ing up a lot of useless things just be-
cause they are cheap.
1.-The usual climax comes when Sat
urday nears-the husbands pay does
no the gap.
This decade will be known as the
decade of woman's folly. At this
time, when men are steadily going up
the evils Of a half score years ago are
rapidly disappearing, woman has not
kept pace with the spirit of the times.
Throughout the entire world men are
giving up drinking. This movement is
not gaining favor, however. with the
women.
THE Presbyterian church found it
necessary to declare against the pres
ent mode In woman's dress.
Women are lot content with dane
ing all night. They must keep it up
during the day. while their husbands
are at the business earning money to
support them in their fads."
There may be a note of warning in
this for some women. But IN the
whole, while husbands are sitting in
office chairs conducting business with
the aid Of office boys, stenographers
and other help, and such. without even
the assistance Of a maid.
A for woman's modern dress, let
me quote the words of Mrs. Percy v.
Pennypacker, president of the General
Federation Of Women's clubs:
1.-THE extreme low neck and the
slayish following of Partisan styles
are to be condemned. But the free
dom which women now have about
the chest and waist which allows Of
deep breathing and comfort, is to be
praised"
Also let us praise the fashion for
fewer p%etticoats and for lightweight
clothes. What woman of sense would
go back to the heavy lined dress
skirt and the several voluminous pet
ticoats once thought necessary by
every modest. woman?

FIGHT M'ARTHUR
FOR CHAIRMAN
Interesting Contest When
Democratic State Central
Committee Meets
FRAMING A
FOR COMPETITION
Interior Troubles of the Sec
ond Party Will Come to
Climax Soon

Democrats Of the state are
ing for an interesting contest which
will be staged when the state demo-
cratic central committee meets to or
ganize for the coming year.
At that meeting it is expected that
active opposition to the Reelection of
D. H. Macarthur as chairman will
reach a crisis.
JUS at present the forces opposed
to Mr.. Macarthur are busily engaged
in preparing the fight in the several
counties. The members of the state
central committee are elected in the
several counties, and in. many of the
counties the controlling forces, with
the Macarthur candidacy for re-elec-
ton as the basis of division, are en-
gagged in laying plans for the election
Of committee members. The county
meetings are to be held July 90.
Two years G there was some talk
of a fight N Mr.. Macarthur, but it
developed nothing serious in the state
meeting.
However. the party is so badly rent
by interior disturbances at the pres
ent time that it is practically certain
that a hot fight will be made on Nc
Arthur.

It is alright to pursue peaceful
waiting policy, but to submit to in
dignities is worse than war. Of what
has an American citizen to be proud
if the flag of this country stands for
nothing but mere sentimental policy
of peace that permits Mexican greas-
ers to insult Americans, and German
officials to steal American passports
and turn them over to their spies to
gain admission to England and other
countries? Germany has been guilty
of the grossest kind of an insult to
the American government, and for
once we wish we had president with
some backbone. Wilson was terribly
offended because negro, who thought
his race was being insulted, told the
president what he thought about it,
but Mr.. Wilson is perfectly composed
when foreign nations wipe their feet
on the American flag and impose
on citizens of this country. If
the administrations keeps on at
the present rate it will not be long
till the citizen Of the United States
will not dare to leave this country.

OH, FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.

OH, FOh "A uONDNED EARC.
If the county attorney would open
his eyes he might be able to see law
violations right here at home.
Gambling has been carried on
under the nose of Mr.. Holsclaw for
the past six month or more and will
continue to be carried on if we are to
judge by his past activity. Perhaps
Mr.. Holsclaw will discover some way
to handle the gambling situation, as
he did the suppression of the social
evil, and will, in two or three years,
"divulge his plans to good people. I"
From all that Mr.. Holsclaw has said
we must acknowledge that what our
county attorney needs is time, plenty
of time. He has been in Office only
two years, and if he had been re-
elected for two years more he would
at least have gotten ready to begin
prosecuting LaDuke and other boot
leggers. But the people plucked the
bud too soon; the frosts of November
3rd nipped the aspirations of Hols-
claw, and DEFENDERS chilling blasts
will finish the job. Holsclaw should
have been elelt, I'd for life if the pee.
pie expected him to prosecute La
Duke, and the chances are this boot
logger would have died from old age
before Holsclaw found time to attend
to county business. Time! Hols.
claw hasn't had anything but time
for several months past. He has
had timesto campaign; he had time L
explain to the w. C. T. u ant
others that the reason he couldn't en-
force the law was because the officer.
wouldn't do their duty; he had timt
to file informations against the editor
of the Republican for petty libe
suit against Blair Hoar; he had time
to attend to private legal business.
But he hasn't had time to prosecute
LaDuke.
WHY?
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-11-20

Referring once more to the LaDuke
case, let US inquire why the county
attorney does not proceed? Why is
this man LaDuke apparently being
protected in his illicit business?
Why are you, Mr.. Holsclaw, too busy
to enforce the law against LaDuke,
and why do you not go ahead with the
case? Are you afraid of LaDuke?
For once Mr.. Holscalw is caught
with the goods. He cannot shift the
responsibility onto Sheriff Harper.
The citizens produced the evidence,
the officers produced the defendant.
and Holsclaw dismissed the case on a
flimsy pretext.

TEN. Where possible we must inaug-

difference it will make if some of
these political road bosses and road
builders must deliver the goods for an
honest contractor who must get
results. There will be no loafing.
There will be eight hours labor. Con-
tractors will not pay for four scrub
horses when two good horses can do
the work. There will be something
doing, and the people will get good
roads if the advice Of the eastern gen.
tleman is followed and public roads
are, where possible, built by contract.

So far as the Clearwater Republic
can is concerned there is no open sea-
son for violators of the law. There
is no time when this paper is going to
wink at crime, and no time when we
are going to remain silent if the Off
GERS are apparently protecting boot
leggers and other criminals. In other
words this paper has not howled law
enforcement for campaign effect. We
are for law enforcement just as earn
estly now as we were the week before
the election. We are going to be for
law enforcement right along, election
or no election.

BUILD ROADS BY CONTRACT.

Some noted man, discussing good
roads recently, hit the nail on the
head when he said there was too much
politics in our public roads. As q
remedy he suggested the contract sys-
tenn whenever possible. And it is
more often possible than we generally
are willing to admit. We might do
we'll to try the contract system here
in Clearwater county.
One has only to investigate the re-
cent saving in the North Fork grade
above Ahsahka to see the point. We
have by some means established an
eight-hour day on our county roads.
We pay $3.50 per day for common la
Dor. 1t is the best paid labor in the
county. Contractors can hire all the
men they want for the same pay for a
ten-hour day. The people who pay
the taxes generally work more than
eight hours day for the money they
Fay in for taxes that go to build
roads.
The printer must put in more than
eight hours day, and few of US get
as much as road work pays. TIE
average country editor never sees SIS
a week, and he must work about six
teen hours day. But let that pass.
LIE. eight hours be work day on our
country roads. If men will work
conscientiously for eight hours day
there will be no room for complaint.
The trouble is there has been too
much politics and too little real SER
vice for the money expended. This

WHY is HoLSCLAW NOT BUSY?

While the campaign is over, the
question of enforcing the law and
prosecuting offenders is as vital as it
ever was. The Republican would like
to inquire why County Attorney Hols-
claw does not go ahead and prosecute
LaDuke. The complaining witnesses
have made affidavit that they are still
living in the county, and ready to tes-
tify. But the county attorney, for
some reason, refuses to prosecute.
WHY? .----,--,s.ss. - -.
For a long time Mr.. Holsclaw,
when the editor Of the Republican in
quired why the law was not enforced,
said that he was helpless because
Sheriff Harper and his deputies would
not do their duty. But Sheriff Har-
per and Deputy Sheriff Leeper, and
County Commissioner Torgerson, and
all the people of Elk River, including
two laboring men who bought bootleg
booze from LaDuke, have done their
duty as officials and as citizens in the
LaDuke case. The citizens have pre-
cured the evidence; the witnesses
stand ready to go on the stand and
testify, and the sheriff and the deputy
and the county commissioner of that
district have rendered every possible
assistance to the county attorney.
In the face Of this Mr.. Holsclaw
is as active as a wooden Indian. For
long time we believed Mr.. Hols-
claw. He insisted that his hands
were tied because the sheriff and his
deputies would not act. But hypoc-
racy and sham, like murder, will out.
And the time came when Holsclaw
was unmasked. A murder was COM
mitted at Elk River, in bawdy
house, and men were drunk. One Of
the jewellers was boy, 10 years old.
And man was murdered. These are
admitted facts.
Holsclaw held an inquest, but he
never brought out any fact further
than the self-evident one that some
body was dead, and it subsequently
developed that this brilliant legal
; light either purposely or ignorantly
failed to prove who was dead. The
record of the inquest does not show.
The record of the inquest does not
show where the murder was commit
, ted. That is, in what kind Of a
J place, nor the condition of the men at
!, the time. Holsclaw, apparently with
: studied purpose, avoided any sugges-
: tion that would bring out facts of
, vital Importance, facts that would
: enable him to prosecute for the sew
/ eral other crimes, namely, bootleg
, ging, selling liquor to minor, run
ming a house of i'll fame, and he
, might have proceeded on the theory
that the place was nuisance. The
law of Idaho provides that the owner
of property is responsible for the bus
, mess conducted therein. Now sup
pose Mr.. Holsclaw had developed the
; fact that the house where the murder
was committed was violating The
J liquor laws! What about the proper
ty? But did this legal representa-
tive of the citizens Of the county
!. bring out any facts upon which to
base q case? Not even sufficient
, facts to conduct the murder trial,
should the criminal be caught, were
. brought out.

HOW TO EDIT A PAPER.

Don't mix In public questions.
Don't have an opinion on anything or
agitate anything, or work tooth and
nail for anything of benefit to the
community. The editor is not the
whole community. Don't have a
backbone. Find out what the other
fellow thinks and agree with him.
That will make you popular. Don't
stand for square deal. If county or
state officials graft and steal public
funds, don't say word about it.
The county don't belong to the edi-
tor. If the laws are not enforced
don't complain. An editor should be
satisfied and keep quiet as long as
he is out of Jail.
Don't boost. Wait till the moss
backs open up the country. Don't
start anything. Don't go out and
turn up something. Wait for some
thing to turn up. Wait for the
other fellow to get busy and then
sit back and find fault and criticise.
Don't take sides. Straddle the
fence. Sit tight, and don't let any
body pull you either one side or the
other.
Sit down, fold your hands, shut
your mouth and be nice fellow, a
wishy washy, spineless nonentity, al
ways agreeable, offending nobody, and
you will be popular maybe.
Enemies! You'll have e.
Friends! You may have few who
will tolerate you but SO far as your
worth to any community is concerned
you will be as worthless and useless
as fur coat in August. When you
die nobody will miss you. AS mat
ter of fact few people will know that
you ever lived, and fewer miss you
when you pass away. But you'll have
no enemies, nobody will sue you fol
libel, and your paper will never be
worth cancelled postage stamp to
anybody.
For our part we'd rather do some
thing. We rather wake up the old
town, and have half the community
cussing US, and some political crook
occasionally threatening to murder us,
and occasionally lay in Jail while the
coroner is holding the inquest over the
remains of some fellow who tries te
lick the editor, than to be the kind Of
an editor some people think an edite
ought to be.
What this world needs is editors
who dare to fight; editors who have
the courage of their convictions, who
refuse to compromise with wrong. Il
wrong exists, if crime fourishes, il
public officials abuse their privilege.
and neglect duty, it is too often thu
result Of indifference on the part Of
the people, the fruit of indifference,
on the part Of newspapers.
A newspaper should not be content
ious. 1t should not be quick to anger
1t should always be guided by broa,
spirit of magnanimity, fairness ant
honest tolerance. But no homes
newspaper should compromise will
wrong, nor withhold honest criticism
II the newspapers do their duty al
the time there will be no need of al
extended campaign of exposure an,
less occasion for bitterness during DO
litical campaigns. The condition.
that brought disaster to certain ele
ment in Clearwater county Novembe
3 could rover have existed had tn,
newspapers of the county stood for tn,

ginning. The surest way to invit.
