Chas. Hall, practical laundry man
of Toppenish, Wash, and Peter Noble
of Oroino, have purchased the Orofino
Laundry from Miles Cochran. The
new firm would like all the business
in Orofino in their line, and it would
seem unwise to send out of town for
laundry or anything that can possibly
be done in Orofino.
So far as known, without official in
formation, road elections were held
in five districts with the following
results: No. Greed Fraser; II.
M. Sanders; 8-Dick Hawkins; 12-
E. C. Chase; 22-Andrew Lonteig.
The results in are yet in doubt. 1t
is alleged that some were allowed to
vote who were not voters in the dis
trict, and very bitter neighborhood
fight has developed. Dan Anderson,
svho opposed Mr.. Sanders, is reported
to have received 81 votes to % for
his opponent.
| State Senator Grant is doing we'll.
He has succeeded in getting himself
cartooned in the Boise Statesman.
He is making good, being one of the
leaders in the senate. Mr.. Grant is
not freak. He went to Boise with
no plans for reforming the world.
He had no axes to grind, and but one
ambition-to make good as a servant
of the people. He is broad, level
headed, and sane, qualifications that
are too often lacking in men who as
pire for the state Legislature.

the other hand, compelling two cam
paigns, has so increased the expense
of aspirants for office that the man of
small means can i'll afford to make
the race. Under the old convention
system an effort was always made to
distribute the offices but the primary
system is almost certain to eliminate
every candidate outside the centers
of population. For example, only
one candidate from north Idaho pulled
through during the last primary. 1t
will be thus to the end, for the pan
handle Of the state is only a drop in
the bucket when it comes to counting
votes. And yet the panhandle pays
about forty per cent of the taxes that
go to support the state.

The Fidelity Bank of Orofino has

trick. We pay $25 month on our

ed for payment. But the bank wrote
across the back of the note "No atten-
tion paid" and returned it. The
purpose was evidently to injure our
credit and standing with the company.
But the company returned the note to
the Bank of Orofino and received its
money. The next note was likewise
by some mishap forwarded to the
Fidelity Bank and returned to the
company without being presented to
the Clearwater Republican for pay
ment. On the back Of this last note
is written the following notation:
s'No attention paid. Send to J.. L..
Fitzgerald for collection.
There you have it. And the mani
fest purpose of all this is to deliber-
ately and maliciously ruin the credit
of the Clearwater Republican with
whatever business concern we may
have dealings. The Fidelity Bank
played this same disreputable trick
when Gray, Ewing & Co. of Spokane,
in the usual course of business, sent
an account through their Spokane
bank for collection, and it happened
to come through the Fidelity Bank Of
Orofno. Twice has the Fidelity
played this same trick in the matter
of our Unitype notes. And if the
notes were sent to Fitzgerald woult

body that attempts to do anything to
advance the town. If a stranger hap
pens to come to town to invest this
fellow plugs in and knocks the deal if
he can unless there is rakeoff for
him; if a newcomer drops in looking
for land he is discouraged and run out

1t might be we'll for the Orofino
Tribune to give the new county board
at least thirty day trial before pro-
nouncing their doom. Perhaps Messrs.
Harlan, Coontz and Choate will in

anything about running Clearwater

to l. r. Grow, the straw editor of the

him to show them how to run the

the county records exported by 81 a

to employ $40 man Of known ability

fact that Mr.. Crow knows what he is
talking about, and that the county

was not above the average, but i'm nelghborng
states the apples were So plentiful that they We're

The trouble may be that apples and other

apples are so cheap in Arkansas that it will not pay

DEoEIvING CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOLS

1t was a sensible remark Secretary Garrison
made when he said the truth about the military
history OF the United States should be told to the
children in the public schools and that they should
be enlightened as to the nations years Of travail
so that they may be prepared to deal with the
problem of defending their country in later years
The fact is that the truth has not been told in
the schools The children of America have been
led TO believe that our wars were the wars of a
young and invnciblc nation, which has swept
every foe before it and triumphed goriously and
handiy in the cause of right
Military and naval experts know that this is
not so. They know that good luck in selecting enc.
mics weak or otherwise engaged helped ns
enormously They know that the wars which have
been won have cost fearfully in lives and prop.
erty and that these might have been saved had the
nation been prepared The facts are well estab.
llshed and not to be contradicted.
But they are not taught in the public schools
The fact OF final success is impressed ON the child
without any reference to the needless costliuess

WHERE ECONOMY BECOMES TOO CRUEL

At the last session of the Legislature law was
passed TO consolidate some Of the county offices
in this state 1t was an effort at economy, but
the law was detective as applying to Oklahoma
county and resulted in deporabIe state ot affairs
The new law aimed TO consolidate number OF
county clcrkshlps under one head, to be known as
court clerk The evident intention OF the legS
lators was to reduce county expenses and save
some money for the taxpayers. This view of 1t
is not accepted 10y those who ran for the county
offices. however. nor by those who have been
holding county offices under the old regime Those
who were elected to the dead Offices want them
and those who have been holding the offices that
were egisatcd out of existence want to stay in.
The present Legislature has before 1t a bill that
would remedy the defects of the law passed by the
former Legislature and place the court clerk IN hls
office This measure, which has been passed by
the house and is now before the senate, would do
away with at least three clerks at $3.50 a month
each and a large number Of deputies In other
words it would mean saving of several thousand
dollars each year to the taxpayers
But when the measure reached the senate com
mittcc there was a long delay The clerks to be
thrown out have been circulating petitions asking
that the committees report be held back. BY
some hook or crook those who have Il slight claim
on the offices hope to hold them.
Economy is all right when others are economic
ing but when it must be done by the office holder
himself the cruelty of it is more than he can stand
The lobbying to defeat the measure now before
the senate is little short Of disgraceful

IN DEFENSE OF THE WOMAN DOCTOR.

An article in a medical journal which defended

the ground that il attempted to excite pity for her
Au editorial in the Medical journal Of recent date
is written in defense of the female physician and
sets out some additional facts about her
The first article conended that women physi
clans encountered a great deal Of prejudice that
they had no opportunity to make acquaintance in
clubs and elsewhere as men do, and that they aged
more rapidly than men Another statement was
that they do not get consultation practice have no
chance in the hospitals and that male physicians
will not frateuize with them az they do among
themselves
The journal writer takes issue along the whole
line and declares out Of long and wide experience
that the case is very much over-stated, He ques-
uuns whether the demand for women is not greater
than for men in proportion to the respective mum
bers of the sexes engaged in medical practice
He adds that there are more salared positions
open to women physicians in proportion to mum
Der than to men and the decline in number Of wo-
men entering medical practice is due more to intu-
ition than to difficulty in obtaining business
