A RANK INJUSTICE.

1t will indeed be most unjust, even
IL the law does require it, to compel
the Latah county officials to "dig up
out of their personal pockets the vari-
GUS appropriations made in past years
to the county fair and for the aid of
Orphans Homes in Spokane and
Lewiston. These officials were adj
vised that it was legal to make these
donations from county funds. And
more than this the taxpayers Of the
county received direct benefits from
the appropriations. The people got
the money,or the equivalent. The
county officials, in no case, profited
personally to the extent of one cent.
They were even doing what practic-
ally all of the people in the county
approved, and demanded that they do.
Take the matter Of the appropria-
tions to the various Orphans and
Chi ldren's Homes. Latah, like Clear
water and other counties, was duty
bound to contribute financially to
these Homes because these Homes
were looking after and caring for the
orphans and homeless babies of the
county. 1t was to these Homes the
county sent it's homeless and helpless
children, and in appropriating county
funds the officials, unaware it was
illegal, were approved. Had they
refused to make appropriations the
officials would have been rebuked, and
the offending officers could never have
been reelected.
SO the Clearwater Republican ex-
presses the sentiment that it is al
least unjust to make the officials re.
emburse the county, even though the
courts decide the appropriations are
unconstitutional, and, it follows, the
officials are held personally liable.
There is no law to compel anyone to
begin suit to compel the repayment
of such appropriations, ven though
they cannot be made int he future
Having had deciison on the Law
future county officers need make nj
mistake. But just the samethe
county ought to appropriate for county
fairs, and the county will be COMPEL
ed to provided for its dependent. /

people are not going to be forced K

FREE TRADE DON'T WORK.

There is, in spite of our efforts to
think he contrary, something out of
Joint in the business mechanism of
the United States. The engine of
prosperity just will not go. The ra-
dator of industrial enterprise is
punctdred. There is leak in the oil
tank of business confidence. The
tires are fiat and there is no oil in
the gasoline tank. You can't get
around the fact, either, that the
great American public believes the
trouble is traceable to head-end col
lision with democratic free trade.
American prosperity has thu ived
only on tariff and protection. Cleve-
land tried free trade and the country
faced the horrors of free soup, idle
labor and business disaster. Banks
by the thousands closed their doors ;
merchants went into bankruptcy; the
country ceased to do business conf
dence, the foundation Of business,
vanished in night, and gaunt power
ty and ruin and desolation stalked the
land. Strong men, willing to work,
walked the streets and lived on char
ity. That was free trade. We're it
not for the temporary demands of a
European war who will say that free
trade under Wilson would be less
disastrous?

end of the county may create an
independent highway district. land
no power on earth can prevnt it if
the people, whose road funds have
been spent in the south end, want IT'D
To understand what this is going to
mean let us mention few facts.
In 1914 the Gilbert road district spent
SIS, 00U of county road fund. The as
ssssed valuation of this district is
$3.50, 600 and it raised contributed only
$3.50 to the road funds of the county
in taxes. 1t had more than TEN
TIMES AS MUCH FOR ROADS AS
1T RAISED. The records show this.
And for this year, 1915, Gilbert has
had approximately $1,000.
The Republican is not complaining
at the liberal amount of road funds
given Gilbert or any other district.
1t would be fine thing, and the
money is needed and all of that, but
this money has been taken from the
north end where it is raised and spent
in the south end, while the north end
has no roads, and the proposal to bond
and build roads in the north end met
it's most violent opposition from Gill
bert, whose farmers have been the
greatest ,beneficiaries at the expense
of the Anoka and Dent homesteaders
whose road funds have been used by
Gilbert and other districts.
And the records show that Anoka
and other northern districts contrib
uted this money and her people got
practically nothing out of their taxes.
Think of this in distict with tax
able valuation Of over one million
dollars
| Consider another fact in connection
with the proposal to cut loose from
/ the rest Of county and create an indie
pendent highway district. The three
nothern road districts have ovo1
"a, 900, 900 of the total valuation of
| Clearwater county. Put these into
an Independent highway district anc
tell us HOW MUCH the GILBER
ROAD DISTRICT will get after
that it does not raise from di
rect taxation on the property withir
its own district
The trouble is that the north end OF
the county, owned principally by the
timber companies, has been treated
as juicy snap to be mulched for thu
benefit of the south end, and the scat
tering homesteaders, with only few
votes, have had to suffer this thing, {
pol cy that has eventually compelled
the homesteader to sell out to thu
timber corporations at any price be
eau the homesteader, without a roa'
to market, could not make good.

H. GABELEIN MEETS SERIOUS
SHOOTING ACCIDENT.

Henry Gabelein of Rib Falls met
with a serious accident last Sunday
Several of the Rib Falls men had
planned to go fox hunting, and the ar-
cident happened while Mr.. Gabelein
and Ferd. Kramm were driving out
north of Rib Falls towards the inten-
ded hunting grounds. When about
three miles north of Rib Falls, near
VIM. Ode's farm, Mr.. Gaeblein's gun
was in some manner discharged and
the whole charge of buckshot entered
his right arm above the elbow and
came out at the shoulder. Just how
serious the injury is, is not exactly
known, but so much is certain that
his arm is badly torn and lacerated.
He was brought to St. Mary's hospital
at Wausau, Monday. Mr.. Gabelein is
the proprietor of the saloon formerly
owned by Jos. Morell.

about his tranquil face. His eyes were
upon the ground, and his lips moved
in prayer for all mankind. So ten

before he cried "Miserere Domine! the
New Year guessed that his name was

Very cold 1t grew as the New Year
turned into a mean street, so cold
that he sought refuge in the porch of

boy, and he stepped aside so that the
New Year caught the fragrance of his
breath and saw that two great wings
were furled behind him, and in the
shadow of his wings an old man and
an old woman crouched together. How
tired. how poor, they looked! But an
expression of ineffable tenderness shone
or their pinched faces.

Love as tears filed his wonderful eyes.

scurrying snow. And as he hurried on

of dawn. He stretched out his arms
and welcomed his first day.

NEW YEARS ALLEGORY
When the Arriving TwelvemOnth Walked
the City Streets.

w CROSS the snowbound earth
the New Year stepped buoy
Il antly. A splendid youth he
was. with radiant eyes, full,
red lips and the star of hope set so
proudly above his brows that where he
passed darkness turned to light. For
a whole year the world and the men
thereon were his.
Far away under the frozen sky
blaze of light shone like a jewel, and
he turned toward the city.
And, though the lights shOne boldly
when he entered it, most of the streets
were empty.
In one of the streets the New Year
met a woman. A dark veil fiuttered
around her, so that he could not dis
tinguish her form, but her face was
very sweet as she bent and clasped
child to her heart The New Year gave
her greeting.
you are Charity, know" he said.
Charity laid her hand in his and
smiled And for all his youth her
smile set him dreaming of green woods
and golden sunshine, of vague, sweet
things that were still unknown to him.
And then he met another woman!
A glittering gas moth this, with a
pert, powdered face, carmined lips and
hard, bright eyes.
'All hailr' she cried mockingly. 81
shall be your constant companion, for
l am Sin, and where men are there
you will always find me-"
The New Year shrank back, and his
face darkened. But Sin pressed close
to him, laughed loudly and. tearing a
rose from those at her breast, tossed
it to him, as with a rustic of silk she
passed on. The rose fell on the snow
powdered walk, and when the New
Year would have picked it up it was
scentless, and he saw that worm was
hid in it's heart!
Another form came in sight-in the
