Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-07-17

The position of the Sentinel is GER
tainly not based on either sound sense,
good politics or the highest political
ideals Of citizenship. It is not con-
ducive of the best political conditions
in city, town, a county, state
or the nation, for if we apply the
doctrine laid down by the Sentinel it
is nothing more nor less than yellow
dog politics of the worst type. 1t
is based on the theory that republic
cars are duty bound to vote straight
ticket, and elect every candidate, re-
CARELESS of what it is, or who the
candidates may be. 1t means, if en-
forced, that men like Senator Borah,
whose rebellion at wrong within his
own party has on one occasion at
least, prompted him to refuse to fol-
low the party, are unworthy and
should be defeated by regular re-
publicans. Only last year we
found Senator Borah in open opposi-
tion to his own party, and all but
left it when the Progressive repub-
licans refused to submit to methods
under which the party was run.
Will the Sentinel say that Senator
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-07-17

Borah is not good republican?
There was time not long since when
he used all the ability at his COM
mand to defeat the republican party.
Yet he is today not only the recogniz-
ed leader of the party in Idaho, but
is honored throughout the United
States as one of the foremost leaders
of the republican party in the ma
tion. He revolted, and yet he was
elected to the highest position with
the gift of the Republicans of his
state.
But if the Sentinel is right in it's in
depreciation of republicanism in Clear
water county then Senator Borah was
wrong, and he had no right to be a
candidate on the republican ticket.
We believe there was some justice
in the demands Of the Progressive
republicans. 1t will be admitted
that their demands were conceded by
the republican national committee,
which made such changes in the re-
publican organization as would pre-
vent in the future the abuses that
caused the split in the party when
Taft was nominated. If, therefore,
the demands Of the progresives were
just and there was need of reform
within the republican party, it must
be admitted that rebellion was mat
ter to be commended rather than an
offense to be condemned.
Why, then, the threat to defeat
at the polls any candidate on the re-
publican ticket who did not vote the
straight state and national ticket?
Surely the Sentinel would not pre-.
sumo to say that the Progressive re.
publicans are not welcome in the
ranks of the reformed republican party
of today; that they have, in protesting
against abuses that the party has
admitted, committed crime agains,
the party that warrants and justifies
the regular republicans of Clearwater
county in treating as crime!
The demands Of the progressives
having been conceded, there is nc
longer any reason why all republicans
should not once more unite on com
mon ground in common cause, labor
ing in unity in behalf of whatever
the majority of the masses shall deter
mine, and supporting whatever candi-
dates the republican voters may select
at the coming primary. There is nj
more reason why the socalled reg
ular republicans should see to it thai
any progressive on the republican
county ticket should be defeated thar
there is that the progressive republi
cans should see to it that the regular
republicans on the county ticket ar,
defeated this fall. Such talk is non
seonse, and not made in the interes
of the republican party. 1t sound
like an excuse on the part of dis
gruntled republicans who are looking
for an excuse to fight the republican
county ticket, regardless of who hap
pens to be nominated.

The assess

Elk River Sentinel: The assess
ment of Clearwater county, not in
GLIDING railway, telegraph, telephone
and power transmission property, has
been completed and shows great in
crease in valuations. Last year the
figures were s., 403, AIS, and this year
they are s11, GAO, O44, although reduc-
tion of 10 per cent on farm property
and rs per cent on town real estate
has been made. That means that the
towns and farms will pay less than
ten cents on the dollar Of the county s
taxes although they levy and spent he
entire sum for their own selfish bene-
fit. The sparsely settled north and
east sides of the county pay more
than 80 cents on the dollar and receive
nothing in return. In plain English.
Clearwater county is charitable in
stitution for the people of the main
Clearwater valley-and they work it
to the limit.

Bovill had a serious fire the night
CT the Fourth when two men lost
their lives. The property loss
was heavy, entailing serious conse-
quences to number of citizens. All
of which reminds US here in Orofino
that there is danger, and that the ut
most precaution should be exercised
to prevent fire. In this connection
attention should be again called to
the darger of forest fire, and those
who have occasion to visit the timber
should be ever diligent lest their care
lessness cause fearful loss of valuable
property, and possibly death as result
ed in the awful forest fires of a few
years ago. Be careful.

If there is any way in the world
whereby the people of Orofino and vi
entity can assist the cement company
to start the work at this place it is
business to do so. Nor is this a
matter of interest only to the business
man of Orofino. The farmer who has
produce to sell and needs market is
vitality interested in whatever makes
for the establishment of industries in
Orofino that will give employment
to labor. So the farmer should join
the business men of the town in ev-
cry move looking to the establishment
of industries.

LEWIS FOR GOVERNOR.

The Weiser Signal. this issue
of the Signal will be found the an
nouncement of Hon. M. E. Lewis, of
Moscow, as candidate for governor,
subject to the will of the republicans
at the coming primary election.
The writer has had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. Lewis once, but he was
most favorably impressed with the
gentleman. He is a deep thinker
and square, awed, forceful man who
inspires confidence upon the part of
those with whom he comes in contact.
AS member of the legislature he
made splendid record, according to
those who were associated with him,
and as a regent Of the University he
gave that institution sample Of real
business methods. He directed the
construction of one of the university
buildings and believing that public
Office was public trust he forced the
contractors to comply with the terms
of their contracts. Several suits re-
suited and he was successful in each
one and saved the state several thous-
and on the job. It is said to be the
only instance in the history of the
state where contractors for public
work were forced to toe the mark and
give the people value received.
Mr.. Lewis's announcement speaks
for itself, and those who know him
best say he has habit Of doing just
what he says he will regardless of
consequences to political camp follow
ers and public pap-suckers. There
are certain departments of the Idaho
state government which need thor
ough cleaning and the statement Of
Mr.. Lewis indicates he will undertake
and complete the job if nominated
and elected. His letter to the voters
rings clear and true.

Grangeville Globe: The spectacle
OF Meyer, at Butte, guarded by sher-
ifs deputies against assassination by
his former followers has an element
of humor to those who recall his fierce
denunciation of the officers of the law.
He knows how the victims of his ''di-
rect action" felt, now that the same
weapons are turned against himself.
His wouldbe assassins might say with
Shilock, THE villany you teach me l
will execute, and it shall go hard but
will better the instruction.

It is worth while for the farmers
to wake up to the fact that it pays to
get into the habit of producing some
thing that will bring in little ready
cash every month. A few good dairy
cows will help. The fellow who has
monthly cream check don t need to
ask the local merchant for credit till
he can thresh his annual crop. If
the cows and chickens and pigs and
the garden can meet the ordinary rur-
ming expenses the farmer never
finds it necessary to spend the pro-
ceeds from the harvest paying up ac-
cumulated debts run during the year.

Orofino has enough undeveloped re-
sources to support town of several
thousand. All they need is devel-
opment. Isn't it time to wake up
and do something that will give the
town payroll?

the lumber companies of Georgia and
Florida must be shipped in wooden
containers or they will not be re-

tended to include all merchants in
every town in the country supported
by numbering. 1t is prompted BY the
alarming growth of fibre containers.
