The Orofino Tribune would excuse
all the rottenness of Blake gang Off
ais on the ground that everybody some
times makes mistakes. That is a
beautiful theory, nd.exhonorates the
Tribune crowd, but the / Tribune's
mantle of charity doesn't seem big
enough to cover anyone outside the
Blake crowd. Paying the Tribune ex-
horbitant prices for county printing is
alright, ror,.if itilooks like fgraft, s''is a
mistake" Assessing Potlatch timber
at $14 when N. P. railroad timber, half
as good, is assessed tatIover $40, is
alright, or, if apparently crooked, ''it is
mistake" Paying Blair Hoar a side
fee of 1925, in violation of law, is al
right, or, if wrong, lis a mistake. :"
Violating the law and selling supplies
to the county by County Commissioner
Zelenka is alright, or, if wrong, ''is
only mistake" Which is about the
excuse one might expect from a
trapped horse thief, burgular, or a
pickpocket. Getting caught always
has been embarrassing, and thieves al.
ways have PLAUSIBLE excuses when
caught. But graft is graft, political
crooks are just crooks and thieves
and violators Of law after all.

Kooskia Mountaineer: In all proba-
bility statewide prohibition will be an
issue in the next campaign in Idaho,
and all political parties must take a
stand either for or against the question.
AS the "dry" vote in this state is large
the party ignoring the liquor question
entirely will be looked upon with sus-
picion by temperance advocates, and
the party that has the nerve to favor
the liquor traffic can not hope to gain
favor with a majority Of the people.
A direct vote on the liquor question in
this state is the proper thing. II is
well to know what a majority of the
people Of the state want. Making the
state dry in spots does not lessen the
evils of the liquor traffic to any great
extent. Local option has been tried
and found wanting and the people are
anxious to try some other remedy.

timber companies under Blake gang

public business is conducted. They do
care when Assessor Molloy, elected by
the people, steps down and out and
turns the office over to Pat Blake.
The people do care when l. R. Grow is
appointed probate Judge. The people
do care when state and federal laws
are violated, and when thousands and
thousands Of dollars of county funds
are squandered to maintaining gang of
grafters and booze fighters and
political henchmen.
The people do care when their coun-
ty board pays out county funds on un-

care whether or not county funds are

A SQUARE DEAL WANTED.

The question Of who buys that 6OO,-
100000 feet Of forest reserve timber,
and who builds the railroad from Orc
fino to Weippe, and who builds a
large mill, and who starts an industry
that will give employment to several
thousand men, land an immense home
market for our farmers, is of less i'm
portance than the question OF having
these things done. If thisi timber is
sold the purchaser must saw at least
SO, 10000 feet every year, the cost Of
which, in labor alone, will reach about
IS per thousand, or 100000 annually
for labor alone. These men, married
or single, must be fed. They will not
produce butter, eggs, fruit, vegetables
or milk. They will not raise their own
meat. These men, married or single,
must have some place to live. Houses
must be built. Then carpenters will
be needed. And the Republican could
60 oniEdown the line, showing how
business in every line will prosper
when the timber at our door is har-
vested.
We have two meat markets in Oro-
fino. These firms want and need more
business. There is need of larger
market for Orofino bacon, hams and
lard, all Of which is from Orofino
farms Originally. More demand means
more market for something the farmer
sells. Therefore whatever will open
up industry, give employment to labor,
and create business, is worth while.
and beneficial to all.
When it comes to developing the
country there is no place for petty
selfishness, jealousy and knockers.
None of this is needed, nor should it
be tolerated.
Clearwater county's greatest need at
this time is development, and develop.
ment can come only when big men
handling large capital, takes hold and
Envelopes our raw material. Then
think OF the folly Of abusing and damn
ing the very people Clearwater county
cannot get along without. Think Of
the wrong We do ourselves when we,
the people as whole, listen to blatant
OFFICE seekers, some of whom are non.
taxpayers, and permit these loafers to
use public positions of trust, like our
board of equalization, to injure, harass
ana wrong people who have or may
invest money in Clearwater county.
what we need is a square DEAL" and
no favoritism. We want honest treat
ment for all, instead of the ia an acre

high or the other too low. In either
case it is an unfair, crooked, dishonest

was pursued, and at the end Of
six months these remarkable re-
suits we're recorded:
The children in the magnetized
room increased in stature Ia
inches: those in the unmagnetized

The former increased in physi-

much more than the latter.
Those exposed to the electrical

school work; those in the other
room averaged but 72 per cent.
Fifteen pupils in the electrified
room were marked 100 per cent.
The electrified children ap-
peared generally more active, and
much less subjected to fatigue.

perienced a quickening of the

"HE story of Benjamin

- ed 1870 years ago by the
King Of England. is one Of the
most wonderful in the annals Of
our country. But few lives in the
history of the race equal it in
thrilling interest and first-class
romance.
Thompson, better known as
Count Rumford, was born in the
village of North Woburn, Massa-
chusetts, March IS, 1853. At 1S
young Thompson was apprenticed
to a Salem merchant. Two years
later he became a dry goods clerk
in Boston, and a little later a
schoolmaster at Bradford. At 19

How can we make the brain OF
the defective most useful to its
possessor?
In the case OF the criminal, or
degenerats. we will better him by
removing all conditions which in
cite to vice and by substituting
the allurements of virtue. Many
States are to-day adopting the
humane policy Of treating their
prisoners, with the marvellous and
long fought for result that they
are converting their homes of de-
tention into places of actual re-

Viewed in this light, agencies
for race betterment are worthy of
promotion in proportion to their
power to increase the mentality
of the individual These agen-
cies include everything that pro-
