Republican Gains Sure.


No one who observes the trend of
things can doubt that the Republicans
win make very substantial gains next
fall. In the first place, the Progressive
party is not likely to be such disturb
ing element as was expected. Mr..
Roosevelt may put some life into his
organization when he returns to the
United States, but there is no doubt
that at the present time 1t Is losing
ground. 1t cannot find a CLEAN OF
hope In any election. In Maine. last
fall, in the Third congressional dis
trict election. the Republican and Pro-
gressive vote was completely reversed
as compared with 1912. In the guber-
material campaign in New Jersey the
Progressive vote fell from $4,000 to
10000. In Maryland only 1000 Pro-
gressives voted, as against $4,000 votes
cast for Roosevelt. In South Dakota
the Progressive element could not de-
feat a. straight-out stand-pat Republi-
can in the fight for the senatorial NOM
nation. In New Jersey the Democrat
ic and the Socialist candidates for con-
gress ran about an even race, with the
Progressives polling mere handful.
while In Boston the Republican candl-
date was given more votes than the
Progressive, although in 1912 II was
the other way. There is not much con-
ISOLATION for the Progressives In the
way in which the elections are break
ing for them.

In Fear Of COMPRESS.

One of the burdens borne by bust
ness is the fear of congress. The
fight over the Panama canal tolls
question has been delaying the work
of the house. and the senate will be
much more seriously hampered by
this issue. II Is one Of the reasons
why predictions are made freely in
Washington that final adjournment
will not come before the middle OF
summer.
That prospect Is bad for trade and
industry. It is a check upon construc-
tive enterprise. II interferes with
many plans for commercial expansion.
The country is disposed to wait for
the lawmakers at Washington to get
through with their tasks and their ex-
periments and go home.

VOTERS HEARD FROM
Democratic Policy Condemned IN
Vigorous Manner.
otro~0 indication Thss the People
Only Awsit Opportunity to Turn
ths Rslns Of oovsrppsnt Over
TO the Republicans.

The president asked the voters Of
the Seventh New Jersey district to
show their Judgment with regard to
the present administration" They
showed II, and expressed themselves
adversely by two to one. In poll OF
$1,000 votes. the Republican candidate
received within a few hundred Of a
majority over all. He had more than
two to one over his Democratic oppo-
nent, who had less than two hundred
votes more than the Social candidate.
Tho Bull Mooser limped In with only
some six hundred to his credit In the
entire district. In a word. the result
was Republican landslide.
Several things contributed. We may
believe that the canal tolls issue was
one. That came In late, but In time.
Expressions from the candidates were
sought. The Republican declared for
free tolls. the Democrat against.
But prior to and above that was the
tariff. New Jersey Is a manufacturing
stronghold. and has repeatedly voted
for protection. The probability Is that
In contest based exclusively on that
issue the state would vote two to one
for the American policy.
The Underwood tariff. while carry
ing a measure Of protection in certain
lines, Is the first step in declared pol
icy to abolish protection as rapidly as
possible. Continued Democratic con-
troll is conceded to mean other tariff
revisions downward. with no certainty
of check until approximate free trade
Is reached.
Evidently Jersey .disapproves Of such
procedure. Business in the Seventh
district, as elsewhere. is depressed.
partly as the result Of the attack on
protection. Industry Is halted. as
much by reason of what has been done
as what is threatened; and the voters,
overwhelmingly. registered formal
protest. 1t was expected, and 1t ar
rived.

Not a Democratic Policy.

The privilege accorded owners Of
vessels constructed in foreign ship
building yards to register them under
the American flag has not proved q
tempting bait. Nothing will accomplish
the restoration Of the American mer-
chant marine by the placing Of Ameri-
can sailors on the same level as those
Of other countries. and II Wilson's ad-
ministration can bring about that re-
suit II will be accomplished. There IL
one other way. rehabilitation. but the
Democrats are as much opposed TO
that course As they are to permitting
other American Industries to prosper.

Governor Ferris issued his procla-
nation declaring Sunday, May 10, as
Mothers day. In the proclamation
the governor says:
"The mother is the queen Of the
home and the home Is the anteroom
to heaven. Industry, thrift. honesty,
self-sacrifice, sobriety, virtue. sympa-
thy and love are fostered in the home.
Every influence that stimulates the
founding of homes adds to the nobil-
ity Of manhood and womanhood.

beautiful, pictures in the world of art
The boy or girl bidding good-by to ia
Their and mother receives holy bene-
diction that can never escape memory.
Out of the shadows and out of the
sunshine comes mothers voice, moth

"On Mothers' day urge every boy,
every girl, every man. every woman
in Michigan to pay tribute OF love
and devotion to the living mother.
Just read her last letter once more.
then write her a joyous letter telling
her of your loyalty and abiding love.
On the grave Of the sleeping mother
scatter flowers mingled with your
tears."

Teach Three Rs Urges Ferris.


Before the city superintendent and
the members of the city boards of ed
ucation at Lansing Governor Ferris
expressed himself as hopeful that the
Michigan public schools would soon
return to the old "readin'. 'ritin' and
'rithmetic."
Il plead for the boys and girls OF
Michigan" said the governor. when
/ ask you as teachers to pay more at
tention to what they taught in the
school 30 and 40 years ago. Please
keep in mind that oral language, read
ing, arithmetic and penmanship are
still the cardinal points OF the boy or
girls education.
Many people will wonder why I
do not advocate vocational training
of children and the other so-called
isms' which go with the modern edu-
cation. l do. but the trouble is that
there are too many daughters playing
the piano and too many mothers clean
Ing the floor.
THE penmanship of the Ameri-
can public today Is amazing. AS gov
ernor l have to read a lot of letters.
Most Of they are typewriter. but 1t
is hard to read some Of the written
signatures"

ing appropriations and expenditures
was the topic Of discussion at the an

troit Michigan Agricultural alumni at
Hotel fuller, Detroit. The dinner was
given by Retiring President Henry A
Haigh Of the association. and Preei-
dent J. L. Snyder and Prof. w. c..
Hedrick were guests of honor. There
were many expressions of confidence
that the supreme court will uphold the
institution by declaring unconstitu-
tional the act which curtails the ex-
penditures OF the college. II the court
decides adversely. however. 1t was the
general belief that the legislature will
provide suitable funds for the future
maintenance of every department at
its highest efficiency.
President Snyder and Professor
Hedrick dwelt upon the work Of the
college. the relation Of agriculture to
the prosperity of the country and the
spirit which fosters love and pride for
their alma mater. as Is evidenced by
associated alumni.

tary relics is a cannon ball picked up
on the battlefield Of Buena Vista; sew.

one Of which was carried by a Wiscon-

plume and ornament.
The heroes of the war. Zachary Tay-
lor, Winfield Scott, Sam Houston. John
Z. Wood, as we'll as the famous Santa
Anna, are presented In the form Of
old-fashioned steel engravings. The
same medium offers also a vivid rep
resentation Of the great battles OF war
Monterey, Sacramento, Resaca de la

ONE NEWSPAPER ENOUGH.

The next best thing to eliminating
the Blake gang would be the elimi-
nation of two papers in Orofno. 1t
is folly to impose two newspapers on
a community the size Of Orofino. The
business men should not be asked to
attempt it. There is no sense in du-
plicating advertisements, and in COL
Letting from a community needless
toll for newspaper service. But how
can this be avoided or helped? By
maintaining one good independent pa
per, giving all political parties fair
service and just treatment, opening
the columns to all parties for discus
sion Of topics of interest, and giving
all candidates equal opportunity to
advertise their candidacy in the pri-
maries and during the campaigns.
It is not a new and untried scheme.
Not by any means. Cities as large
as Spokane have long recognized the
value of strong, we'll paid independent
papers, and small towns should dis
courage the idea of two or more small
partisan papers. Palouse, over in
Whitman county, WASH, is notable
example. 1t has a paper that is a
credit to the community, publication
that devotes its time to the upbuild-
ing of Palouse and Whitman county,
and enjoys sufficient patronage to war
rant the editor in giving the town a
paper that would not be possible were
the business divided between two pa
pers. Where does the town lose by
this policy? What will Palouse gain
by two half-supported papers?
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-09-04

Blakes can never again domineer and
rule Clearwater county, and men who
are even suspected Of being friendly
to the Blakes cannot hope for con-
sideration at the hands of the people.
The howl Of the gang that the Clear
water Republican is a timber tool did
not work; the people do not believe
this paper is controlled by timber cor
porations. The editor came here be-
cause he believed there was need of
the kind of a paper he has given the
people, and because we believed we
could eventually establish a paying
business in Orofino. We have done
what we could to earn the respect and
confidence of the people, and if in any
measure the county has been made
better for our labor we are satisfied.
We are human enough to believe that
as cold blooded business proposition
it will pay; that the Clearwater Re-
publican can establish itself after a
time on paying basis, and exist on
the square. Time will prove that
this paper is not tool of corporate
wealth, and that the people can place
confidence in the paper.

Whether it is A. E. Hincklev.

Whether it is A. E. Hinckley, re-
publican, or John Peckham, democrat,
that the people elect as their assessor
the people are going to get an hon.
est, capable and worthy public SER
want, free from any faint of corpora
ton influence, and the interests of the
people will be served. So far as these
men are concerned they will come out
of the campaign clean and decent, re-
spected and loved by the people
throughout the county, and there will
be uttered not word to the discredit
of either by any self-respecting citizen.
These men will not find it necessary to
howl calamity and beat tom toms and
rend the air with imprecations on
timber companies. They will not
need to advertise the fact that they
are honest; that they will give the
taxpayers a square deal. The people
know it, and it is with real graft
fication that the Republican can en-
dorse these two citizens, although it
may be unusual for a republican pa
per to admit that there is any good
in a candidate nominated on the ticket
Of another party.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-09-04

If they charge that the republicans
of Clearwater county have ring we
deny it. But the republican party is
organized, and that is an altogether
different thing. What is the differ
ence, then? Well, ring is organ
ization run by the bosses for the
bosses, while organization is the peo-
pie working in harmony for their own
good. There can be no legitimate
objection to organization. Men have
never accomplished anything until
the people organized and worked in
harmony under a definite plan for a
definite object. That the republican
organization is not a ring one has
only to inquire of the various precincts
of the county to discover that the peo-
pie are today running the republican
party in Clearwater county. The
people selected and the people nomi-
mated the republican county ticket,
and because the people did select can
.didates of their choice accounts TO,
the overwhelming majorities piled uI
at the polls Tuesday.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-09-04

The Clearwater Republican can see
no reason why the coming county cam
paign should not be clean and decent.
This county has had enough of the
other kind. We believe citizens can
discuss politics and participate in
politics and differ in matters of state
craft without being enemies and throw
ing mud. But with a party in the
grasp of fellow of Pat Blake's cali
Der running things one might as we'll
talk of sailing through space in gall
vanized wash tub as to think of clean
politics. The way to deal with men
like Pat and his gang is to take off
your coat and wade in the mire up to
your neck, just as the Clearwater Re-
publican has done. You can't whip a
snake by sprinkling talcum powder on
its tail. You must put your heel on
its head.
