Governor Alexander should go down
in the political history of Idaho as
the repudiator. He has, by the exer-
else of the veto power, refused to pay
honest debts, after both houses of the
Legislature had approved them prac-
tically unanimously. There is no
honest citizen in the state who could
do this in private business and retain
his standing or reputation, and there
should be no special rule of action for
any public official that will make dis
honorable things honorable and dishon-
est things honest. 1t is crooked to
repudiate an honest debt. An honest
man will not stand for it. How can
Nose Alexander justify things that
in private business would be little
better than stealing? How can he
justify the reputation of honest debts
owed by the state to private citizens
or private concerns? Does the fact
that he does the repudiating as pol
itician, trying to make good fool
campaign howl about saving million
dollars, change the moral obligation
to pay an honest debt? The great
State of Idaho is honestly indebted to
the First National Bank of Moscow to
the amount of several Thousand dollars
for money advanced by the bank, and
received by the state. The supreme
court of the state has said the state
owes the bank this money. The
Legislature, by large majority,
voted to pay the debt, and Governor
Alexander voted to repudiate the
debt.
There are other instances, and
since private repudiator is looked
upon with disfavor, why should we
not mark public repudiator with
the same brand?
Alexander couldn't get elected dog
catcher up in this end of the state.
The people never wanted to repudiate
honest debts, to stop all improve
ments, stop the state growing; they
did and do want graft and extrava-
gance cut out, and Mr.. Alexander left
the impression that he could save a
million dollars without impairing the
efficiency of the state, and without
repudiating debts, thereby bringing
his state into disrepute and it's honor
under cloud. Let Nose Alexander
have all the credit. Some democrats
in the house and the senate are OPP
posed to reputation, and the demo-
cratic citizenship of the state will
not approve Reputation. 1t is not,
therefore, democratic sin; it be-
longs to Nose Alexander, the politi-
clan, the four fusher, the calamity
bowler, the Office seeker, the repudi-
ator.

THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY.

Montpelier Examiner: Governor
Alexander has proven to the people of
Homedale, at least, that many of his
campaign promises were made only
for the purpose of getting votes.
During the campaign committee of
Homedale people called upon Nose
for the purpose of obtaining his
views on the question Of the state ap-
propriating money to aid in the con-
struction of bridge across Snake
river at that point. He assured the
committee that he was in sympathy
with their bridge plan, and is quoted
by member of the committee as
having said: II understand all about
the matter and how you fellows got
the worst of it two years ago, but if
l am elected, there is no outsider
going to be governor, and if you fell
lows ever get your bridge bill up to
me, you've got your bridge, because
I'll sign it," Well, bill appropri-
ating SIT, 900 for the construction of
the bridge In question, passed Dotn
houses by almost unanimous vote. AS
soon as the bill passed the senate,
Representative Magee of Canyon
county called upon the governor and
reminded him of his prediction
promise. Mr.. Magee was assured by
the governor that if he would uphold
the gubernatorial hands in his pro-
gram of economy, that the bridge bill
would be signed. Did the governor
keep his promise? Well, hardly,
for within few days after he as
sured Mr.. Magee that the bridge
would come through safely, he vetoed
the bill Sin the interest of econo-
N.Y. This is none of our fight,
neither have we been in favor of the
state helping counties to build
bridges, except in extreme cases.
However, we mention this case just
to show how easily men can forget
their campaign promises. after they
are elected to Office.

King Drag Does The Work.

P. E. and j. A. Harlacher of the
Teakean section, were in Orofino Sat
urday. They report Marion, Black
burn, the new overseer in the Teakean
district, as doing some excellent work
this spring with King drag, saying
they have never seen the roads in the
Teakean district as good at this time
of the year and credit this to the fact
that the drag has been used.

Orofino could be the most beautiful
little city in Idaho. 1t is up to the
people. 1t will be the kind of a
place the people make it.
There isn't another town in the
United States that has as extensive
undeveloped resources as has Orofino.
That is why Orofino is sure to grow,
and why property in Orofino is sure
sooner or later to become valuable.
1t is the town without resources to
develop that has no future worth
while.

chance. One long-faced, hollow

The Split Log Drag.

An exchange says: The split log
drag has contributed more towards the
economic maintenance of public high
ways than any implement of modern
usage. 1t does not require special
acts of the legislature, bond issues
nor extensive educational campaigns
to make it available as usually pre-
cedes construction work. A drag can
be built or purchased for $50 and is
easily operated by any one who can
drive a team.

There is no excuse for newspaper
to be mistaken, when it is only one
block from the county records, and
may ascertain the facts. In the
Orofno Tribune of last week, March
10, appeared the following:
when the board placed an order
for one grader and 16 road drags last
week, the Tribune didn't hear any,
thing said about bids for these county
supplies. But nothing looks like
graft to Pete now, of course, al
though the method Of doing business
runs pretty much the same with one
administration after another. The
new board is open to criticism re-
CARELESS of it's political creed the
same as other people.
Which shows that the Orofino Trib-
une is pretty much" the same kind
of liar it has been for some months
past. There was competitive bid
ding, as the county records show, and
the reader can verify this by reading
the commissioners minutes published
elsewhere in the Clearwater Republic
can this week. The Tribune is nurs-
ing q crouch and don't know how to
get rid of it. It would be waste of
time to say more. The people Of the
county at the last election expressed
their opinion of l. r.. Grow and his
paper, and it would be impossible to
increase public contempt for the paper
and its disgruntled editor. If man
is both liar and a CRATER there
isn't much more to acquire that is
undesirable.

Mich Cows Lead.

The COW easily leads all farm ami
mails in her power to convert the
crops of the fields into human food,
with the pig second, poultry follow
ing, and the steer and sheep lowest.
For 1000 pounds of digestible nutri-
ents consumed:
The COW yields about 139 pounds of
milk, containing IS pounds of solids,
practically all degestible. The pig
produces about Is pounds of dressed
carcass. Allowing for water, bones
and gristle, there remains over Is
pounds Of edible dry matter. The
steer and sheep yield less than 10
pounds Of dressed carcass, nearly half
of which is water. Deducting this
and the bone and gristle, there re-
mains only from 2.6 to 3.2 pounds of
water free edible meat.

Situation in France
 and Belgian Unchanged

In Belgium and France the allies are making some hard earned gains, and the Germans also here and there are making progress. So nearly evenly matched as they are, and given the positions of their trenches, sap ping and bomb throwing must be re- lied on chiefly to bring any gains, and, barring a lucky victory in the sporadic artillery duels, this form of warfare doubtless will persist along the line in Flanders and in France until the weather improves the ground and per- mits more extensive infantry opera tions.
 Several days nave passed since the first reports of Russian victories over the Turks in the Caucasus, but the Turks have not yet admitted any re- verses in this territory.

This leaves the sit uation in Poland as a whole about what 1t was a fortnight ago.
 Servia, with her army more or less rehabilitated, Is described in London as snapping with renewed viciousness at the dual monarchy from the south. Austria declares that the latest Ser vian attacks have been repulsed. Neverthe eless, credence is now given in England to reports that Germany is planning to throw troops to the assistance of her ally in third at tempt to crush the country of the Serbs.

Germans Continue to
 
 Attack Along Vistula

Petrograd, Jan. 8.-An official eral staff tonight says:
 "On the left bank of the Vistula tairie and Moghely. the fighting has assumed a character more and more desperate. The Germans, notwith- standing the great losses they have sustained. continue obstinate attacks at different points.
 Tn many places the enemy succeeded in occupyiny provisiona1ly certain of our advanced trenches, but our vigor- ous counter attacks followed ordinarily by bayonet charges, compelled the Ger mans to let go their hold. Thus in the region of Metairie and Moghely on January we drove away the enemy who rushed our advanced trenches, capturing seven officers and more than one hundred men.
 Tn Bukowina we occupied on Jan uary Kimpolung Gin Bukowina near the Hungarian border), after an ad- vance and fighting lasting eight days. Our troops during this fighting cov- cred more than 120 voists (about 80 miles) and finally crossed the noun tain chain at the frontier between operations we captured more than 1,- 900 Austrians and also took rich spells of war.
 "On other parts of our front there is nothing worthy of note.

STATESMEN DISCUSS
 GREAT BRTA|N'S REPLY
Supplementary Note Will Ar rive-No Light Shed
 on Contents.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Secretary Bryan and other administration of- ffclals were at work today going over Great Britain's preliminary reply to the American note protesting against interferences with commerce on the high seas. Awaiting President Will sons return to the city late today, however, all officials refused abso- lutely to comment upon it.
 Such study as officials have given to the preliminary reply has convinced them that probably it will be neces- sary to await the supplementary note promised by the British government before undertaking to continue the negotiations so far as they relate to the general broad principles involved in the American note.
 The general impression in official circles made by the British note pre- sented yesterday is favorable; that is to say the officials regar I'd the British position as conciliatory, and while Great Britain has not yielded any of the substantial claims which it has asserted. from the beginning of the war, in regard to the right of a search of neutral ships anywhere on the high seas, the London foreign of flee has shown a disposition to dis cuss, in a friendly spirit any means that may be suggested by the Amer ican government looking to an ame- Iteration of the hardships which the assertion of the right of search inn poses upon ship owners.

RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR
 LOCAL ASSISTANT JUDGE
Contest May Develop Series of Warm Hearings in
 Legislature.

As the time draws near for the 1egislature to get down to business
 local interest is becoming aroused to the deputy judgeship matter and 1t is stated on excellent authority that Will
 liam F. Mangan, the present deputy
 judge, will be displaced in favor of a republican. Judge Mangan, who was appointed by Governor Baldwin, will conclude his term on January 20 al- though he will hold over until his successor is appointed and approved of by Governor Holcomb.
 It is said that friends of Judge John H. Kirkham, who preceded Judge Mangan, and of Judge F. B. Hungerford are planning to introduce resolutions into the legislature for the appointment of their respective candidates. These resolutions must be presented by January 28 and it Is expected that hearings will be held before the committee on judiciary early in February. If those who are favoring both candidates are insistent on making a contest for the position lively time is expected.
 Senator George W. Klett of this city will probably be one of the members of the judiciary committee. which numbers thirteen. The com mittee appointments will not be an- nounced until next Wednesday morn ing and those who are on the inside say that Senator Klett's name will be found on that committee which con- siders matters pertaining to the jul dietary. It is believed that Senator Klett Is favorable to the candidacy of Judge Kirkham. The faction of the republican party of which Mayor Quigley Is the recognized leader, is said to favor the appointment of Judge Hungerford.

EInperor's Birthday Will Be Ob- served, But Not By Customary

Amsterdam, via London, Jan. 9, TAI 8. m.-The Prussian ministry of state, according to a Berlin des patch to the, Telegraaf has issued a notice that ''In view of the serious ness of the times the greater public festivities, such as dinners, tneatricals and dances, should be postponed on the occasion of the forthcoming birth day of the Emperor, Jan 27.
