In some sections of the country it
is difficult or practically impossible

various simple and practical means

Wants Something for Nothing.

j. w. Blake filed civil action this
morning for $25, 900 damages against
the editor of the Republican. This
makes total of $50, 600 now demand
ed by the Blakes from WINDY Pete, "
which, if we have to pay it, will take
about all the loose change we have.
These gentlemen will confer a favor
on our wife if they will inform her
how to get S. out of an editor. 1t is
a relief to know that these gentlemen
have at last discovered that P. L..
Orcutt is really financially able to
buy little printing office and a little
treal estate withou depending on Mr..
Rubedew or any other timber baron.
Of course these bankers would not
waste time suing an editor for $50, 900
if the defendant were not good for
the amount of the judment. Really,
dear readers, Pat and Jim are not
joking; they need the money and ex-
pect to get it out of an editor of a
little country weekly. The surprising
thing is that the suit was not brought
for quarter of million. That
would have been worth while.

Snake Bites Girl.

The 8-year-old daughter of Gus
CRUDE was bitten by snake while
running through the weeds the first of
the week. She was running when she
stepped on its tail and the first thing
she knew the reptile struck, one tooth
penetrating the skin on the leg back
Of ths knee. Hrs. CRUDE rhoned to
Orofno for help and an auto hurried
out with such medicine as could be
gotten. The doctors were all out of
town. What kind of snake it was
is not known as the child did not take
time to investigate, running for home
as fast as she could. When help ar
rived she was playing in the yard,
and suffered no apparent illness.

The Glorious Fourth.

Cavendish, Gilbert, and Weippe all
had good crowds at their celebrations
the Fourth. The rain during the fore
noon made things disagreeable, but
the programs were generally carried
out. The rain made the race track at
Weippe too soft for fast racing and
the despicable action of Sheriff Harp
er put a damper on the afternoon
program.
The best of order prevailed every
where and no serious accidents. At
torney Hofsted delivered the address
at Gilbert and County Attorney
Holsclaw spoke at Cavendish.
George Rubedew was in Orofno
the first of the week, and of course
his business was to delivre consign-
ment of gold to the Clearwater Repub-
lican, and if you don't believe this
ask Pat or any of the gang. George
was worried almost sick over the fact
that it will almost break the timber
companies to pay for the damage
done by WINDY Pete" to some OF
the gang. George should have known
better than turn a fool editor loose
in Orofino anyhow. Now let him take
his medicine. He doesn't deserve !,
bit Of sympathy if it costs him ant
the other timber barons a million dol
lars. Not one bit.

Judge Steele a Candidate.

Judge Steele has announced his de-
sire to be returned to the District
Bench, and has filed his nomination
upon the non-partisan judiciary ticket.
He is now serving his sixteenth
year as trial judge in this district.
having served upon the bench for
longer period Of time than any other
judge in Idaho, either before or since
statehood. His services have been
continuous.
The District Court over which Judge
Steele presides comprises one-sixth
of the territory of the state, one
sixth of the population, one-sixth of
the wealth and about one-half of the
legal business of the entire state.
Judge Steele has filed has nomina-
tion papers as non-partisan candi-
date for District Judge under the law
passed by the legislature of 1918.
This law is very simple. The voter,
after having voted his or her party
ticket, passes to the column headed
"Non-partisan Judiciary Ticket"
and, regardless of party affiliations,
selects the person whom they desire
for District Judge.

Albert Snyder lniurel !.

Albert Snyder of Fraser met with
most serious accident at the Snyder
saw mill Tuesday. A 2x4 caught in
the saws in some manner and silver
l8 inches long and more than an inch
square and tapering to about half an
inch at the small end, was driven
through both thighs, entering the flesh
just below the hip joint and passing
angling through the flesh, protruding
about half way from the hip to the
knee on the outside of the left thigh.
Mr.. Snyder, with the help of another
man, succeeded in pulling the stick
from the leg before the doctor arrived.
Sampson Snyder, brother of the
injured man, drove at once to the mill
and brought the unfortunate man to
Orofino.

of Weippe. He made the arrest at
his own pleasure and at the time,
place, and in the manner he himself
determined. The Blakes could have
planned the outrage; they could have
suggested that the sheriff crafty their
desire for Orcutt's humiliation; but
an honest, self-respecting public
official would have treatedlwith con-
tempt the orders of such advisers.
Sheriff Harper did not have to hustle
US out of Weippe; he did not have to
make the arrest at the time he made
it, in the manner he made it, or place
he made it unless it pleased him to do
so, and the only evidence needed to
prove that Sheriff Harper understood
what he was doing, and why he was
doing it, is the fact that he has been
trying to explain his action ever
since an outraged public sent his
chances for reelection glimmering.
What Sheriff Harper did was raw;
it was an outrgae, pure and simple,
an insult to the citizens of Weippe,
and disgrace to the county. That he
is ashamed of it, or pretends to be,
when it did not work the way it was
planned; that it has reacted with ter
rife force against himself and those
who helped to prepetrate it, and is
universally condemned, does not make
the S-eriff of the county any the less
guilty, and any the less responsible.
Sheriff Harper alone is officially re-
sponsible. We defy him to cite
line of law to the contrary, and his
feeble whine is the best evidence in
the world of the unfitness of this man
for official duty. Yet he is candi-
date for reelection.

In their affidavits the Blakes both
swear, under oath, that the owner,
editor, and manager of the Clear
water Republican is P. L. Orcutt.
Which is worth something since the
gang have tried SO hard to convince
the public that the timber companies
own the paper, and that Orcutt is
only a tool, a hired man, doing chore.
for the real owners of the papers
Are they lieing now, or did they lie
in the start? Who has been playing
the scoundrel, attempting to deceive
the people?
Monday P. H. Blake filed civil
action, claiming the editor of the Re-
publican had damaged him to the ex-
tent of $25, 900, and wants the court
to render judgment in the sum against
P. L. Orcutt. George Tannahill OF
Lewiston is attorney for the Blakes.
County Attorney Holsclaw asks the
Republican to state that he was never
consulted about the criminal action,
and that he has had nothing whatever
to do with it. He says he has beer
ignored, when the county attorney il
supposed to be the legal representative
of the taxpayers, and supposed t,
look after the interests of the tax
/ payers in matters Of this kind. H,
said he was never consulted, ant
given no opportunity to investigat,
the evidence, and did not know wheth
er or not there was any reason fol
saddling onto the taxpayers an ex
pensive piece of litigation. He wal
not convinced that the law had beer
violated.
The question is: Shall the tax
payers be made to pay for vindica
tion or official whitewashing for tn,
Blakes?
The Republican believes the actor
is bluff, brought as last effort t
harass and intimidate the editor O
this paper, and to add to our heav,
load in making a fight for the peopl,
of the county. The Blakes have seel
their political machine smashed, thei
plans upset, their political power il
Clearwater county broken, their tool
exposed and discredited, the peopl
aroused, with defeat certain in tn
coming election. P. H. Blake ha

thief who gets skinned at his own
game, P. H. Blake goes into court
with dirty hands, and would force
the taxpayers to pay for the doubtful
attempt at vindication.
Sheriff Harper is now trying to ex-
cuse his part in the Weippe outrage.
He says he could not help doing just
as he did. All of which is the most
foolish and silsy stuff we ever heard a
human being utter. Whatever action
the sheriff took was a matter of his
own choice, and not of compulsion.
The sheriff did not, and he knows it,
have to outrage and shame every fair
minded citizen in the county. He
was not compelled by law, common
sense or justice to insult the citizens

rascality that you and Jim and German,
your "honest" cruiser, acquired Cor
mans addition to Orofinoi
Did Jim ever do anything TO advance
the interests of Orofino? What? Did
Mt he fight waterworks? Didn't he do
all he could to oppose the men who
wanted to give the town electric lights?
Didn't he accept 500 in payment on
property he neither owhed nor had au-
thority to sell? Didn't Jim Blake, a
banker deliberately lie to Osterhout?
Didn't the head of the Fidelity bank
LIE? Hasn't the Fidelity bank knocked
the cement company, and hasn't your
paper knocked, and hasn't Jim Blake,
done his best to wreck this industry?
Haven't you and your gang, particu-
larly Slippery Jim, tried to block the
sale of every Improvement bond this
community has tried to sell to improve
the town? Haven't you and Jim lodged
taxes? Haven't you made politics
PAY?
Didn't Jim and Blair Hoar, by manip-
ulating the county tax rolls, with your
aid, put Assessor Molloy into hole
that lost him his job, and didn't Slippery
Jim and County Treasurer Hoar, by vir-
tue of political pull, make it PAY some
company to buy some nine claims that
Jim or the Fidelity bank, of which you
are cashier, had acquired from poor
people at about s4OO per claim? If by
assessing the Potlatch Lumber company
at $14 an acre, and reducing their valu-
alton million dollars, your gang made
it pay the timber company, through a
dummy, to pay $500 per claim,
or possibly 5000, wouldn't such a
deal, made by betraying and robbing
the people, net the Fidelity bank, Of
which you are cashier, from $l4,OOO to
$4,000? Which reminds us Of story.
The people once elected "friend of
the dear people to the legislature. A
bill Of vital interest to the people came
up. Certain interests wanted the bill
defeated and needed one vote. They
approached the ''friend of the dear
people" and offered him 81 900 for his
vote. With great indignity he scorned
the bribe. He like Patrick Henry
Blake, was friend of the "dear pee.
pull" and like our noble Pat, he would
spill every drop of his precious blood
protecting the "dear peepul" from
grasping corporations and predatory
wealth. But on the quiet, in the dark,
this blatant, loud-mouthed fraud,
sneaked around and delivered his vote
against the people he openly pretended
to stand by, and he did it on condition
that the corporation pay him 81 900 for
worthless old mare he had up home
on his farm.

In India They Think Toad Soup Ban

In India there are many curious
beliefs in regard to insanity and
its cure, and Mr.. 0'Malley, who SUI
perintended the census taking in
Bengal, Bihar and 0rissa, says that
the lower classes think that insan-
ity is due to an excess of bile in
the system, or TO worms in the
head. Neglect of the worship of
the gods or the curse of yogi,
sadha or other holy man may pro-
duce it." he says. at is especially
liable to attack those who practice
Tantric arts, but fail to control the
spirits which they evoke. General
ly, however, it is attributed to de-
moniacal possession.
"The spirit which is most COM
monty thought to produce madness
is Brahmadaitya, the spirit of a
Brahman who has died an unnat-
ural death. Madness being due to
possession by an evil spirit, every
attempt is made to appease or ex-
orcise it. The exorcists hold smok-
ing chillies to the nostrils of the
patient and chant mantras, address
ing the spirit in filthy and obscene
language, all with the idea Of driy-
ing it away.
"When these means prove futile
they prescribe a diet calculated to
force the spirit to leave his victim
in fear of losing his caste, for Brah-
madaitya is the spirit Of a high
caste Brahman. The unfortunate
patient has therefore to consume
soup made of toads, etc. When
these abominable nostrums fail the
use Of medicated oils and Of indig-
enous herbs and drugs is resorted to.
"The medical treatment of the
insane prescribed by the Kayirajes
sometimes takes the following
forms: The mud taken from putrid
tanks is plastered on the PATIENTS
head, or aloe pulp is mixed with
water and applied in the form of an
emulsion. A fayorite remedy is
