When a man is honest, he is honest,
regardless Of the business he follows.
Some men are crooked, and they are
dishonest regardless of the business
they follow. Last summer man
named Clanin came to Orofino and
leased the Farmers warehouse. II
there is any business on earth where
one may test the honesty of man 1T
is in the warehouse business, and yet
an honest man will be honest in the
warehouse business. Mr.. Clanin is
honest. We are not going to wait
till he dies and then tell how we
know it.
We will omit particulars. The
past fall Mr.. Clanin bought large lot
of grain one day. Later learning
that the market on that, particular
day justified fraction of a cent bet
ter price he notified the farmers who
sold that day that they had more mo-
ney coming. He might have KEEP
still and pocketed the money. He
didn't because an honest man is hon
est wherever you put him, and lh'
Republican congratulates the farmers
of this section that Mr.. Clanin ha
permanently located in Orofno.

Governor Alexander made so

Governor Alexander made some ex-
cellent suggestions relative to the
business management of the state, in
his message to the Legislature, and so
far as practical the republicans owe
it to the people to join hands with the
governor and help carry these sugges-
tions into effect. But it occurs to US,
as We peruse the message, that is
smacks great deal of the visionary,
sounding like campaign speech made
to catch votes. 1t is all we'll enough
for the governor to stand up and say
that this or that department has cost
$50, 900 per year and can be run for
sis. coo per year. We might make a
great flourish of trumpets and an
nounce that it has cost $50, 600 year
to run the Governor clothing store
down in Boise, and that it can be run
for SIS, 600. Mr.. Alexander did not
give the details of his reasons for
these broad assertions, and until we
are shown, we will take the state
ments with some allowance for an
over-zealous desire to force the mil
lion dollar campaign thunder through
regardless of efficiency. We doubt
very much if the people of Idaho are
ready to take backward step. We
doubt very much if Idaho is ready to
go back quarter of century in
state government, any more than is
the Idaho farmer ready to give up
modern conveniences and go back to
the scythe and the spinning whee Il.
Today the family wash is, where
possible, dore by electricity, and the
home is the better for it even If it
does cost a few cents a week extra.
1t saves the wife and adds to the COM
forts of home. 1t is worth all it
costs.
Idaho can abolish the pure food de-
partment and the state can get along
on adulterated foods. just as it did in
years gone by, and SO can Governor
Alexander sell that automobile and
walk just as his grandfather did a
hundred years ago.
We would not be misunderstood as
belittling the efforts of the new
governor. We believe the people of
the state will applaud much that he
proposes. Much that he says il not
new. The republicans have urged it..

Senator-elect j. Fl. Fraser of koot-
enai county, who arrived at Boise last
week, has plan of reducing state
taxes. He would have property as
sessed every fourth year instead Of
yearly, and says by this plan he would
save $S1, 900 each year. He says
there are $50, 600 pieces of property in
Idaho and it costs 43 cents to asses
each. He would also stop sending
individual tax notices, would publish
such notices in the official paper in
each county, and believes this plar
would result in reducing this expense
from $25. 900 the year for the 33 coun.
ties to $40, 900. Mr.. Fraser would al
so hold state elections every -four
years instead Of two. 1t costs 81 K
the taxpayer for each vote cast in al
election, and the primary expenses OF
those who ran in Idaho at the recent
election were 500, 900.

Like every other line of business;
the local, or small country weekly pa
per is matter of the survival of the
fittest, and it is going to be SO here
in Orofno. The paper that is worth
most to the community will be the
one that will win and hold public sup
port, and the paper that lacks support
has right to stay and starve to
death if it wants to. The matter Of
newspapers for town has given many
of the best minds among business men
considerable room to act. The result
is that all over the United States
there is tendency on the part of the
business interests in a town to main
tain one good, strong local paper rath
er than two weak ones. So far as
the Clearwater Republican is concern
ed it can get along about as we'll with
opposition as it can without. And as
long as the democrats in Orofino in
sist on maintaining party organ the
republicans will have one. In other
words the Clearwater Republican will
continue to be republican organ un-
til the citizens come to their senses
and cone lude that one good non-parti-
san paper is best for Orofno. In
mentioning the matter of one good
nonpartisan paper for Orofino the Re-
publican had only the best interests
of Orofino in mind. It. is true
whether the one paper is the Tribune
or the Republican. But we are GER
tain that the idea of one independent
paper for the small town is the best
by far for the community. The Lew
iston Tribune can do Lewiston thous-
and times more good than four small
papers, none of them making any mo-
ney. Who would for moment sug-
gest number of small papers fol-
Spokane in place of the one big daily
Keep in mind that we are not looking
at this from the standpoint of the
newspaper or the politician; we are
considering that which is best fol
Orofino and the county.

Considerable speculation is rife as
to who will get the various deputy
ships when the republicans go into
office Monday. The Republican knows
only one. Joe Molloy will be deputy
assessor under Mr.. Hinckley, and will
give the office an expert plat and map
man, something that will be of con-
siderable value to the county. County
Treasurer ELECT Crockett has not made
known, seven to his intimate friends,
who will be his deputy, and if anyone
knows who will be the new deputy
sheriffs they have the inside on the
editor of the Clearwater Republican.
The Republican wishes only to see
these new officers make good, to see
the laws impartially enforced, and
the strictest economy practiced in
every department. We believe one
should practice what he breaches ano
we are willing to take this advice
home in the matter of county print
ing, giving the people square deal
something they have rot had. A
grating printer is just as crooked as
any other CRATER, and is not entitled
to immunity from criticism, conaem
nation or prosecution. The people
have a right to expect much from the
incoming administration. The people
have right to see an end to ganf
rule, discrimination, favoritism ant
extravaganza, and the character o.
the men chosen by the people is {
guarantee that the county will receive
creditable service.

The Clearwater Republican had the

The Clearwater. Republican had the
pleasure of meeting, for the first
time, representative of the Canton
Culvert Company, of Canton, Ohio.
The gentleman was Chas. w. Da-
Wis, general travelling representative
of this concern, who spent most
pleasant hour visiting with the Repub-
Iican editor and talking road culvert.
He asked for copy of the Republican
containing a discussion of culvert,
saying he would send it to the COM
pany. Mr.. Davis says the sample OF
culvert exhibited by P. l.. circuit is
about two pounds per foot heav ier
than the culvert bought from Beale
& Co. : "a matter of about 30 cents per
foot in raw material, on twelve inch
culvert, making total difference OF
something like 40 cents per foot il
favor of the Latah county sample fur
nished by the Canton company f. q. b.
Moscow against the Beale culveft t.
o. b. Spokane. Mr.. Davis saws there
is practically no difference in th'
grade of Ingot iron and the 'No-CO
RO" manufactured by his company
both testing about 1890 per cent pure
and both being first class. Mr.. Da
Wis says his company is ready to fur
nish culvert to Clearwater county OF
the same basis that Latah county get
the same material.

The newspapers that exposed the
Terre Haute, indiana, grafters should
be prosecuted FOR libel, ard the edi-
tors arrested and thrown into Jail for
defaming the character" of rascals.
An editor who dares to fight political
rings should be declared insane"
and locked up. Fighting for the peo-
pie ought to be so expensive and dan
gerous that no newspaper dare open
its mouth in protest. That is praeti-
cally what it is amounting to Eere in
Clearwater county. The object of
the numerous libel and damage cases
here in Clearwater county against the
editor of the Clearwater Republican
is to bring about financial disaster.
On the other hand the gang expects
the people of the county to stand the
cost of the prosecution. They want
the cases fought at county expense.

1t is gratifying to note that some
farmers are refusing to sell their
horses to European countries to be
slaughtered in war. If the United
States would quit supplying the fight
ing powers with supplies the war
could not last long. We like the idea
Of 81 wheat, but do we stop to consid-
CT the causes back of it? Do we stop
10 think, as we bank our roll that in
3 way it is blood money? Do we
reed money so badly that we can take
delight in worldwide catastrophy
when it produces an abnormal condi-
ton that brings us few extra doll
lars? If so we are taking delight in
greed, in human suffering and world
wide calamity.

When taxes become so high that
owning property is like paying rent,
or verse, ard investments are no
longer desirable. the end Of prosper
ity is in sight for that community.
Ard the farmer, who needs market,
I'D the workirgman, who reeds en-

sufferers. Instead Of driving capital
out of Clearwater county we should
encourage it to come in. Instead of
knocking industry we should boost it,
whether it be saw mill, a cement

PROBLEM FOR DRIVER
FAULTY lusaicATioN CAUSES
 MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
And Proper oIiina ls Just as impor tsnt to the Owner Of
 Pleasure Car.

Performance and endurance of 8 racing car depend upon the fabrication of its driving parts. The fabrication of the motor especially is a most i'm. portant point for the driver or his mechanician to watch. Statistics show that fabrication troubles have been re sponsible for the withdrawal of a great number of cars that had to quit the track when their drivers were travelling along with the speed and consistency that put the big prize ali most within their grasp, when sudden ly they were reduced 10 also rans" because the fabrication went bad.
 With modern, small. high efficiency motors. turning over from 2,5o0 to g. 00o and more revlutions per minute, . speed which would have been impos- sible years ago. it will be clear that the fabrication. especially of the bear ings and metal contained therein. must be absolutely perfect to allow such tremendous speed to be main. tained for a great period of time.
 The racing car has developed the automobile, and the racing car is re. sponsiole for the development Of met. als. while the importance of lubrica' tian systems has been instrumental in producing the reliable automobile of the present day. If fabrication is so important to the driver of racing car it is much more worthy Of all possible attention in a pleasure car.

BUSY DAYS COMING
Period of Stress Ahead of the
 American Worker.
Labor Day an Excellent Time to Think Of the Future That Must Be the Result Of the War
 in Europe.

Every American. whether he wori with his hands or with his head, wi. take full advantage of Labor day. the last of the summer holidays; every one will appreciate the fact that there is long period of work ahead of him.
 This fall and winter is sure to be time of readjustment in mary lines of American commerce and labor, due to the European war, which not only shuts of some ot the things We buy. but is filling our warehouses with many of the things we sell. How to manage without the particular things we have always imported and how to get a market for the things Europe cannot buy must engage our serious attention for months, perhaps for years. There may be some failures in the effort to readjust, but there will be more successes, and great ones. No doubt about the future need be in the heart of anyone.
 The best thing about the whole sit- uation is the stout heart of the busi- ness world and the people in general. They enter upon a combat with un- certainties with the old Yankee con- fidence, backed by the knowledge that in the fundamental items of physical life we are safe. We can feed our selves, clothe ourselves, warm our selve. The rest is only a matter of time ard adjustment. There will be 10 hard times If the hard. work is well tackled.
 Business must not wait until the war is over" for nobody knows when that blessed day will be. If we are prepared for long war, so much the more prosperity if the war is brief.
 It is a splendid time for every American, from the housewife to the capitalist, to study American econo- mics and get a better knowledge of values.

DEMAND IS FOR SERVICE
Public Ideas Have had~a Significant Change in a Comparatively
 Few Years.

When the French aristocrat before the great revolution was asked as to his chief service to society, he replied. ITO have been born" He felt that his mere presence in the world conferred an honor on his country.
 That has been the attitude of privi- legged classes of all time. But g new ideal has come into mems minds-the ideal of labor, of service to the com munity. Today the public is constant ly asking men to justify their income. What have you done to deserve it?' is the question. By what service to so- ciety have you earned your moneyT
 It used to be considered perfectly proper to water the stock of great pub lie service corporations. But now peo- pie have come to see this means to get an income without working fer it. and public sentiment is shutting o1 the practice.
 Melon cutting in connection with franchise grabs was once popular. But it became apparent that this was mere ly one way of getting something for nothing. and the day of melon cutting is done.
 So, all up and down the line the de- mand has come for service in return for income. Society is willing to write its note for pretty nearly any amount to the energetic man, but it insists that the payment stall be for value re- ceived.

Means More Moisture.

The livestock farmer can supply his land with organic matter and at the same time get cash returns from the soils products. Grass is grazed on some of the land The vegetable mat. ter goes back to other land in the form of manure. In either case the percentage of humus is kept high and that means more moisture in droughty summer and higher pro ductive power
