Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-22

Just remember that the importation
Of booze is going right on at Elk River,
and that it is by odds the most out
rageous and disgraceful violation Of
the law that has ever shamed county
in the state. How long are the decent
citizens Of Clearwater county going to
tolerate it? How long can county Of
ficials, under oath to enforce the law,
remain inactive and Indifferent and
retain the confidence of the people?
When the officers say they are power
less ask them how, under the same
law, the authorities in Latah county
manage to keep catching the boot
leggers at Bovill, town situated iden-
tically like Elk River. We're promises
made last compaign that tied the hands
Of those who swore to obey and enforce
the law? II not, why in the face of all
the facts, is Deputy Sheriff Leeper re-
tanned as deputy sheriff at Elk River?
Sheriff Harper cannot escape the re-
sponsibility, for he alone is responsible
for the deputies who serve under his
administration.

If the Tribune thinks for an instant
that the Blair Hoar decision is a vindi-
cation Of the court house gang it is
wide Of the mark, for by no manner Of
reasoning can it have any bearing on
any other officer. For instance, what
has the Hoar case to do with the skin
ming Of the taxpayers by the Tribune
when that paper collected 1858 from
the county for publishing eighty-six
lines of commissioners proceedings.
And instead Of meaning the end Of
litigation, the Hoar case is but the be-
ginning. Unless l. R. Grow voluntarily
pays back into the county treasury
every penny the Tribune has wrong
fully collected, the editor Of the Re-
publican will himself start suit to COM
COMPEL Mr.. Grow to do SO, and we
propose to see that this money is paid
back without further delay. County
Attorney Holsclaw assured the editor
of the Republican some two months
ago that Mr.. Grow was going to pay
the money back to the county. That
is the only reason suit to compel Mr..
Grow and the Tribune to refund has
not already been started. If the Til
bune cares to save costs Of litigation it
has an opportunity to do so. And an
other county official who must pay
back every penny he has taken illegal
ly from the county is County Commits
sioner Frank Zelenka. Unless he vol
unfairly does this the Republican pro-
poses to start action compelling him to
return the money to the county.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-22

The thing Clearwater county needs
is thorough housekeeping, with
good public servants who will work for
the people, and the county run on
clean, square business basis. When
this is done the Republican will devote
all its energy, time and ability to CIV
ing Clearwater county the best paper
it is possible to get out, entirely de-
voted to news and development matter.
The Republican would be only too
glad to drop politics entirely, and will
do SO as soon as the county is redeemed
from the present gang that has it by
the throat, and is run for the people
instead Of the special benefit OF the
few. But the Republican proposes to
keep up the fight just as long as there
is vistage Of the Blake machine left,
and just as long as the court house
ring has anything to do with the peo-
pies business affairs. Even at that
the Republican expects to be able to
drop politics after the votes are
counted next November.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-22

be no possible way Of escaping the
facts that stand out glarlngly to the
condemnation of all officials in any
way connected with the deal.
We have gone on the theory that it
was immaterial as to who the editor of
the Republican is, or whether he is
rich or poor. Were we the owner of
all the timber in Clearwater county, or
the biggest liar in the state, it could
not have had any bearing on the facts
in the matter Of county printing, or
the price Of road culvert, or the cost Of
county bridges, or change one iota the
law relating to the loaning Of county
funds.
As well might one, charged with the
crime Of murder, urge as a de-
Tense a rumor to the effect that
the sheriff who served the papers
was poligamist, having three wives,
and expect to be cleared of the charge
of murder, as for the Clearwater county
court house ring, when charged with
improper public conduct, to defend
themselves by charging that the editor
OF the Republican is something that
has no bearing on the case even If all
they say against circuit were true.
II is an insult to the people for any
paper to presume that the people have
SO little sense, and yet the Orofino
Tribune has proceeded along lines that
cannot be explained except on the the
ory that the Tribune believes the peo-
pie to be bunch of chumps, too dense
to know the difference between hon.
esty and dishonesty; between square
deal and graft.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-22
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The editor Of the Republican was out
walking last Sunday with straw hat
and summer coat, and for fear the
Tribune may take it for granted that
we acquired these garments from
funds furnished by George Rubedew
or the Weyerhauser timber syndicate,
we will state that the coat is one we
have had for the past ten years, and
the hat is remnant of the year 1912.
We might also state, lest the Tribune
overlook it, that we have recently shed
our winter underwear and are
now wearing ''B. V. D." garments, 1--WE
have two SUITS, purchased last year
from money acquired selling dill
pickles and rhubarb.
Seriously there is just as much sense
in the above, and as much reason for
assuming that the funds for our socks
come from timber companies, and It's
we could not acquire our clothing hon.
estly, as there is in the Tribunes pre-
sumption that we cou d not acquire a
piece Of real estate, or printing plant.
To bsgin with ii is none OF the Tri-
bune's bus ness, or, If it is, then we
have right to stick our nose into the
private affairs OF the Tribune long
enough to ms nuate that Mr.. Crow,
since he has not proven otherwise,
stole the money he claims he used
last week to clean up the indebtedness
against the Tribune. Suppose we ask
Mr.. Crow if lie did not sell out to the
Potlatch Lumber Co., and jump at the
conclusion that we have proven that
he did, and that he is a tool of the tim
Der company. Why not? Isn't that
exactly the kind of stuff the Tribune
has been feeding the public and ex-
pecting the people to believe
The Republican, on the other hand,
has treated the people with at least
some degree OF consideration for their
intelligence; we have given the people
of Clearwater county credit for at lest
having ordinary common sense; we
have proceeded on the theory that the
people OF this county are Of average
intelligence, capable of distinguishing
facts iron fiction, proof from presump-
ton, and established and proven state
ments from unsupported charges.
More than this the Republican has
asked the people to take its unsup-
ported statements for nothing. We
have expected the people to believe
nothing that could not be proven, and
that we have not conclusively estab-
lished by proof. We have, in the mat
ter OF county printing, road culvert,
and other things, gone into the char.
ges SO far and complete that there can

Blue grass makes the most phenom-
email growth here around Orofino of
any place in the country, and probably
no place in the world can show any
thing better than may be seen growing
in the streets and alleys of Orofino.
Samples four and five feet have been
gathered by the editor Of the Republi-
can during the past week, and acres
three feet high may be seen. Where
is country that can beat this the mid
die OF May?

DAMFOOLISHNESS

While the Republican considers it
entirely irrelevant and immaterial,
nevertheless we are this week going
into the matter of the ownership Of
the building recently purchased. But
keep this fact in mind: If the Tribune
could prove conclusively that George
Rubedew actually furnished the money
with which we purchased the property,
it would have no more bearing on the
honesty or dishonesty, competency or
incompetency of Blair Hoar or Pat
Blake than has the solar eclipse, or the
nebular hypothesis. The ownership Of
piece Of property claimed by P. L. Or.
cult has no more bearing on the matter
of road culvert than has the price OF sar-
dimes or the fluctuation of automobile
tires. One is just as relevant as the
other. AS well might the Orofino
Tribune, as defense for the court
house ring or the Blake gang, raise
the question of hobble skirts or the
tango. But the Republican has nothing
to hide. There is nothing mysterious
about the purchase of the building
formerly occupied by the Orofino Tri-
bune. The Clearwater county records
show every transaction, and we would
like to have any honest person look up
the records and then tell where, if
Rubedew or any other person put in a
penny, the money went. The Tribune
gang has, because driven into hole,
attempted to befog the real issue and
thereby obscure the real culprits.

M. E. LEWIS FOR GOVERNOR.

One of the most sensible, sane and
practical statements ever issued by
candidate for governor Of Idaho comes
this week from M. E. Lewis of Moscow,
who will make the race on the republi-
can ticket. Note that he says the tax
dollar should buy as much as the pri-
vate dollar, and those who know Mr.
Lewis personally will doubt neither his
ability to make good nor his purpose to
keep faith with the people.
As regent Of the University Of Idaho,
it was the duty Of Mr.. Lewis to look
after the expenditure Of vast amount
Of money, and those acquainted with
details of the work will remember that
through the efforts of Mr.. Lewis the
state funds were not only carefully ex-
pended, but every dollar of the tax
money went just as far as did dollar
of Mr.. Lewis private money when he
built home for himself.
If the republicans Of Idaho see fit to
honor Mr.. Lewis with the nomination,
and the people elect him governor, the
state of Idaho will be in the hands Of
the most able business head that has
ever served the people.
Mr.. Lewis grew up in Iowa, practi-
cal, common man who always had a
lot to do with farming and live stock,
and who today owns and operates farms
in three counties Of the state. He was
one of the men who demonstrated the
practical side of clover on the farms
around Moscow, and worked incessant-
ly until the agricultural college at the
University became an agricultural COL
lege in fact.
Those who are looking for polished
gentleman, an orator, and a dignified
person too proud to associate with COM
mon people, will be disappointed in
M. E. Lewis. He is as common as an
old shoe, can make good sensible
talk, is exceptionally broad-minded, is
deep and able student, and Away
practical. He has always worked, and
his sympathy is with the man who
works. Himself farmer he under
stands the needs of the farmer as no
man who has ever served Idaho as its
chief executive understands.
The Republican takes pleasure in
publishing the announcement author
lied this week by Mr.. Lewis, and would
suggest its careful reading.
North Idaho has, since statehood, had
only one governor, and that was SO
many years ago that few people could
today name the man. North Idaho
is entitled to recognition.

IS THERE A BLAKE MACHINE?

The Tribune will have to admit that
there is Blake gang and that the Re-
publican is right, or acknowledge that
it talked through its hat last week.
Why all this stir among the democrats?
Why was it necessary to raise $11OO to
get the Tribune out Of the hands OF the
Blakes? And If the Blake are alright
why the necessity Of all this hubbub?
And if there isn't Blake machine,
machine that has dictated even to the
extent Of telling the rank and file how
and where they might spend their
money, with whom they might do bust
ness, for whom they must vote, from
whom the common people must take
daily doses Of dope, then why the tur-
moil and strife and struggle Of the
past few weeks, and why are the local
democrats Boosting that the Blakes
have been kicked out Of power in
Clearwater county? Isn't that an ad-
mission that the Blakes haye been in
power, and that the Blakes are SO
intollerably rotten that their leader
ship could no longer be endured by
the democrats? II the Blakes are
clean politically, and have worked for
the benefit Of the people, why pro-
test from the democrats? Why take
the Tribune out Of their hands?
And yet the democrats are loud in
their protestations Of JOY over the de-
liverance from Blake domination, claim
ing that Blake dictation and power and
leadership is thing Of the past.
The Republican hopes this is true;
hopes the manhood that always pre-
dominates in the hearts Of all good men
has at last asserted itself, and that this
county is free; that those who have,
through assumed power, disgraced
their party and outraged the people,
have at last come to the time Of ac-
counting, and that the stern hand Of
justice, ever ruling honest men Of
whatever politica. faith, has reached
out and taken from unworthy leaders
the right 10 lead.
With honest democrats the Republi-
can has no quarrel. In county matters
party preference ought to cut but little
figure. Nor will the party brand, ex-
cept where political ring, working
under party banner, becomes obnox-
ious to the people, and the people find
1t necessary to defeat all in order to
rid themselves of ring rule and gang
influence. That is why the Republi-
can said that SO sure as County Audi
tor Kaufman, a democrat, is in any
way aligned with the Blake machine,
or countenances it, or endorses it, or
works with it, or allows it to use
him, his defeat is sure and certain.
That is why Joe Kaufman has got to
come out in the open and cut loose
from any party that is controlled by
Jim or Pat Blake. If the change going
on in local democratic circles the past
few weeks means this, and Mr.. Kauff-
man can convince the people that
it does, his election is as
sured. The republicans will make
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-22

little effort to defeat him. But it must
be case Of the Blakes getting down
and out. These men must take ther
hands off Clearwater county business.
And they will do it just as sure as the
third day of next November rolls
around. Tammany Jim and his crowd
have seen their day; the hand writing
is on the wall; their political doom is
sealed.
