and is alive and progressive. But
what reputation the community will
get if it continues to tolerate such
conduct by three or four thugs who
take advantage of friendly contest
in hand ball, using the opportunity to
strong arm, slug, scratch, kick and
otherwise disable the members of an
opposing team. Instead of learning
the game they disgrace by their
unmanly conduct, these fellows have
evidently confined their practice to
acquiring proficiency in the art of
mining camp booze dive rough and
tumble, knock down and drag out,
free -for-aIs. That is the kind of an
exhibition of basket ball Kamiah put
up in Orofino. They should be out on
the range roping steers or busting
broncos. That's their caliber.

GOOD BYE DONKEY.

The Lincoln Day banquet at Moscow

meetings of the kind held in the

speakers. 1t was republican love

down at the same table, and later

HASN'T DELIVERED THE GOODS

AS candidate for governor Nose
Alexander did not once say eff but
always stated positively he would re-
duce state taxes $1,000, 600 the first
year of his administration. The year
has gone by and as governor he hash t
saved more than thirty cents. He has
been a monumental fizzle, and can
hardly work the tax dodge second
time. AS a matter of fact state tax
es went up under Governor Alexander.
Will any democrat deny this? At
best Mr. Alexander was a political
accident, a creature of circumstances,
made possible because of split in
the republican party. With a united
party in 1916, even if Alexander
should get every vote he did last cleo
tion, he would be defeated by about
1900, and anyway by enough to make
him sick at the stomach. AS COVER
nor he has turned his back to the dem
ocrats, making them stand aside while
the favored few of the Bull Moose re-
pubilcans, like the Boise Capital
News bunch, are given preferred
places around the pie counter. 1t is
fine thing for the favored few like
Broxon, and Scholtz, and other rene
gade republicans, but there are some
democrats who don't like it, and Nose
will discover this should he ever rur
again for any office.

OUR BOYS ARE GENTLEMEN.

Orofino High school boys are gentle
men and can take defeat like men,
two qualities the Kamiah team might
well aspire for. 1t isn't half so
much that the Orotino High School
boys are good players that makes us
proud of them, as that they are gentle
men always, win or loose. How
ashamed We ought to be, and how dis
graced our public school would feel,
were our basket ball boys TO go to
Kamiah or any ether town and behave
like rowdies. If sport sinks to this
level its time to eliminate it, also
start an investigation of our teachers
and and the coach. Orolno can take
honest defeat; but Orofino is far too
proud of its good reputation to strive
for victory at the sacrifice of the de-
cent respect of others.

A BUNCH OF ROUGHNECKS.

The Kamiah basket ball team,
with one exception, is a bunch Of
roughnecks, who have no conception
of the spirit of real sport. 1t is a
disgrace to any town to be represent
ed by such an aggregation. In their
recent game with Orofino these rowdies
ignored all rules of the game, paid no
attention to the warnings and remon-
strances of the officials as to their
rough playing, and won the contempt
of the entire audience. One of the
Kamiah bronco busters slugged DeBolt
and all thru the game tie unmanly,
dirty tactics of the gang continued,
to the disgust of everybody. The game
should have been stopped, the receipts
given to the local team by rising
vote of the audience, and the Kamiah
sandbaggers escorted to the village
limits and invited to hoof it home,
paying their own expenses.
We are quite sure this bunch of
toughs does not represent Kamiah
citizens generally, for that town is
alright, has a lot of good citizens,

The Orofino Tribune, in rum

The Orofino Tribune, in running
some prohibition matter for the local
w. C. T. u, takes special pains to
inform the public that the Tribune is
not responsible. 1t would be an
awful thing should some of the read
ers of the Tribune get things mixed
and lay the responsibility on Brother
Grow. This might ruin the Tribune.
Prohibition indeed! The w. G. T.
U. also, be hanged! The public
should not get their wires crossed and
lay the blame for prohibition articles

The Orofino Tribune complains that
we have 'demoralized' the printing
business. 1t should have added that
we have also demoralized the graft
ing business in this county, and for
this we have no apologies to offer.
We have also demoralized the boot
logging business, as we'll as putting
May Patterson and her breed of cattle
infesting Elk River, on the hog. We
have demoralized gang rule, also such
raw impositions on the people as the
Nease cruise.

The Clearwater Republican has no
objection to Mr.. Hofstede discussing
Socialism to his heart content. The
Republican does not contend and never
said that all socialists are atheists.
Some are Christians. But the great
majority are not, and this is a most
lamentable commentary, since Soci-
alists have simply stolen the ideas
and principles and ideals of Christian
ity, but stripping them of religion,
lacking on all manner of side issues
with the ideals of Christ we have no
criticism: we believe in Christianity
as the only code of ethics or morals or
politics that will solve every human
problem. But we would rather place
our hopes of good government in
the party of Abraham Lincoln, than
in party that is lead by the Appeal
to Reason, Eugene V. Debs, One Eyed
Bill Haywood, and lot NOR cattle
of that caliber. Socilists never tire
of condemning our courts, branding
our judges as corporation tools, and
calling them crooked. But in all the
judicial history of Earth, from the
dawn of time down thru the centuries
to 1916, has more plant tool ever
sat on bench of any court, big or
small, than Judge Walter Tame, a
Socialist of Orofino?
We mention this, my dear Mr..
Hofstede, to show you that | have
good reason to view with some skepti-
cism your brand of politics, recon-
mended as cure-all for the ills of
government, including a reformation
of what you are pleased to term "a
crooked and corrupt judiciary.

The Republican is late for 81 differ
ent reasons. We had more work than
we could do, and besides had to re-
model the big press, leveling it up,
readjusting it, enough job work to
keep two printers going, and was as
busy as scared cat on tin roof.
That wasn't all. Look at the new
ads, taking one whole day to set, and
you'll wonder how Windy" Pete got
out a paper at all. But don't worry.
Well give you two this week.
We had to let the real estate trans
fers and county records lay over one
week, so you'll get double dose next
issue. Taking things by the year
we'll average up, however. If you
don't get two cents worth of good
per week don kick. Stop the paper
That will save us printing it, and
you II not have to worry about reading
it. The trouble all comes from the
negligence of the timber companies to
come across with the Doodle our
friends, the enemy, insists we are en-
joying, which fact keeps us too poor
to employ enough help to emergencies.

FARM MARKETS BUREAU.

n NM MA Nm DO MIA ".
Granting that the Farm Markets
Bureau is good thing for Ada
county, but just the same we are con-
WINGED it is entirely out of place for
the state to spend 1000 per year of
the peoples money to maintain free
employment bureau for one or two
counties, and free real estate agent
for the same favored section, and a
free market bureau for the same sec
ton. This Farm Market Department
hasn't benefited north Idaho one red
cent, and the farmers know it. Nor
can it ever be of any benefit to Sec
tions far removed from the state cap
itol 1t is claimed the Farm Market
Bureau saved the potato growers $780,
900. And suppose it did. What of
it? Why are potato growers entitled
to special consideration? Why not a
cordwood bureau, or lumber bureau,
or a state bureau whose business it is
to hustle for new subscribers for the
weekly newspapers of the state, with
a few deputies, at state expense, of
course, to collect delinquent subscrip-
tions?
Idaho Falls is today one of the
greatest potato markets in the United
States. 1t ships some 5000 cars of
this crop annually. At 81 per hwd.
this crop in that one section is worth
between So, 500. 900 and SO, 900, 600 an
nually. The state has no more bust
ness taxing the people, including us
printers, for the benefit of potato
growers, than it has to tax the potato
growers for the benefit of the printers.
The potato industry, doing an annual
business of several million dollars, is
amply able and should look after its
own business, or, if the state does it,
the state should maintain bureaus for
every other business in the state.
Tax the farmer to employ another
editor of the Boise Capital News at
Sc, 900 per annum whose business it
would be to find markets for the
Weyerhauser syndicates' lumber, and
to see that the lumber manufacturers
are not skinned by the farmers, that
the lumber market is not depressed.
The Republican contends that all
these bureaus, like the state game de-
partment, are but political gratis,
handy for the party in power as a
means of providing meal tickets, TO,
(which the people pay, but whose work
should generally be supported by the
special lines of industry benefited.
When Governor Alexander came out
in favor of abolishing needless depart
ments and the army of state pension
ers, he was loudly approved. He is
open to censure when he imposes g
$40, 900 Farm Markets Bureau or any
other bureau on the taxpayers OF
Idaho.
The Farm Markets Bureau, to be
more definite, is a real estate agency,
whose business is to sell farms. But
do you, any of you living in north
Idaho, know of any good the people
have received from this bureau along
! this line? Has this fellow Sholtz,
who is drawing $4,000 per year from
the state treasury, sold or tried to sci
an acre of land in Clearwater county
Not on your life. And you or any
man with grain of sense knows how
impossible and useless it is for the
state to expect to do such work.

ECLIPSE OF
sun OBSERVED HERE
People in Streets With Smoked
Glasses See Moons Shadow
on the Orb.

For a period of a little more than a
minute today the sun was working
only half time. and for more than two
hours It turned OFT a part OF its light
and hid behind the moon.
4 partial eclipse of the sun was re-
sponsibie for the light or day being
sent to other worlds in greater guam
tity than it was to the earth. The
eclipse commenced at II minutes past
10, and continued until % minutes
past u. Smoked glasses made 1t pos
sible for observers in the streets to see
the shadow OF the moon slowly work its
way across the shining surface OF the
orb of day and then disappear with
equal deliberation.
At about the same time the first dark
rim appearing on the surface of the sun
was visible here, the entire surface was
beginning to dim at a point 1000 miles
of the west coast OF Mexico. In Colon
bia and Venezuela the fight of the sun
was shut off entirely for a short time
by a total eclipse. The pathway OF the
total eclipse was southeast and then II
turned i'm a rather curious fashion and
went northeast until the path OF total
ity ended at Guadaloupe Island. of Cape
Fear, on the coast OF ireland.

OLINGER FOUND DEAD
IN LOUISVILLE HOTEL

Oscar Ray Ollnger. nIneteen-year~old
student of the Gallaudet College, for
whom a countrywide search was insti-
tuted by the Washington police late
yesterday, was found dead in the Seel-
bach Hotel, Louisville. KY, several
hours later. The student. whose mind
is supposed to have been unbalanced
by Overstudy. disappeared from Gallau-
det College on Sunday.
Young Olinger on leaving the institu-
ton was we'll equipped with clothing
and money. He took his Overcoat and
q dress suitcase with him. and left the
impression that he was going to his
homo in Nashville, Tenn. After failing
to find the young man the college au-
thorities yesterday asked the local po-
lice authorities to take up the search.
Several hours later a telegram saying
that young Olinger had been found dead
in Louisville, apparently suicide. was
received by the Gallaudet authorities
Olinger was the son OF Charles Olins-
er, OF 910 Grove avenue. Nashville.

TRIEY IS NEWEST PET
OF KEEPERS AT ZOO
Arkansas Black Wolf Recognizes
Former Master, Who Visits
Her After Five Months.

Keepers at the National Geological
Park have a new pet. an Arkansas
black wolf, that is as doclle and play
full as any domestic pup.
The animal is a great favorite with
visitors because OF its friendllness
and has won unusual interest from
the biologists because of an unmis-
taxable displaying of lasting affec-
tion and memory for a former master,
The animal was captured when two
weeks old by Ralph-C. Huey, super
visor of the Arkansas National Forest.
He took IL to his home where IL was
named Trixy. At first shy, the little
animal was trained as a domestic pet
and raised In the family. She was
taught canine tricks and canine dis
clpline.
Last September, however. when
TrixY was nearing maturity. Mr.. Huey
decided not to keep her as a pet
about the house any longer for fear OF
an outcropping OF family traits. and
he sent her to the National Zoo. A
week ago Mr.. Huey came to Wash
ington to attend the conference OF
pational forest supervisors. Sunday
he determined to go to the Zoo to see
Trixy.
He was greeted noisily Trixy spied
him from afar, and let out yelps that
started the whole pack. As Mr.: Huey
went into the cage TriXy leaped upon

attracting many Sunday visitors.
Trixy was disconsolate when Ne left.
Visitors to the park were curious,
and Mr.. Huey told them, that though
Gagged, TriXy was as tame as could
be. and that he had not seen the ami
may for five months.
Though familiarly known in her ma
tive habitat as a timber wolf, TriXy,
strictly speaking is of the coyote
family, and is so known to the scien-
lists. She has a distinctive dark col

be, shared among all the people than
than that the mans family should suf~
fer, or that the man who owned the
shoe factory should be sued in court
and made to pay. These people worked
out the plan for compensation. and
succeeded in persuading the State leg
islatures to pass the necessary laws.
"Now, in these States that have COM
pensatIon laws, all employers pay the
Insurance companies, or the State in
surance departments. to insure their
employees. The cost OF buying the in
surance Is considered as a part OF the
employers expense Of running his busi-
ness. A shoe manufacturer figures 10
much expense for leathet, so much for
thread, so much for machinery and 30
much for insurance-or compensation
for his employees. Then he adds all
these sums together, including, OF
course, so much for his profit, and
when he gets the total he is able to
decide how much he must charge for
shoes in order to pay all expenses and
a profit. So, you see, in this way the
cost or the insurance or compensation
is divided among all the people. A
similar plan is worked out for every
business"

passed compensation laws.
In 1914 Louisiana and Maryland adopt
ed the plan, and in 1913 these States
passed compensation laws: Connecti-
cut, Iowa. Minnesota, Nebraska, Ne
vada. New York, Oregon, Texas and
West Virginia. In 1912 Arizona. Michi-
gan. and Rhode Island adopted the plan.
and in 1911 the first State laws in the
country were adopted in New Jersey,
California, Illinois, Kansas. Massachu-
sets. New Hampshire. Ohio, Washing

are for practically all workmen in the
States having the laws"
DO you mean, Uncle Harry that II
a workman, living in any one OF these
thirty States, is injured while at work
he Will be paid something every week
until he is able to go back to Work?'
asked Jimmy.
That's the idea" said Uncle Harry,
and If he is Killed his family is paid
a certain amount OF money in one sum,
or so much a week for a certain num-
state laws are different in some par
ticulars, such as the number of weeks
an injured man receives pay; but the
plan OF workingmens compensation is
practically the same in oil parts of the
country"
"Who pays this money!" asked Joe.
THE insurance companies largely"
said Uncle Harry, although in Cali
fornia, Pennsylvania. and some OF the
other States the State governments
have their own insurance departments
and many of the employers get the IN
suranCe for their employees through
these State departments.
Let me explain the insurance idea
boys and then you will understand this
compensation plan better. Accident in
surance companies are companies that
will pay a man, If he is hurt, a GER
tain sum of money every week for a
certain number of weeks-Or they will
pay him an the money I'm one sum, IL he
prefers--if he first agrees to pay TO the
company so much every three months
or every year, just ~ you boys pay
dues in your club. That's what is called
accident insurance
''Then there is what Is called life In
surance. A company that sells life
insurance will agree to pay a mans
family a certain sum OF money when
he. dies, ifa he will pay the company
so much a certain regular times every
year from the time he agrees 10 take
the insurance up to the time of his
death.
Now. as you know, there are many
kinds Of work that are very dangerous
and thousands and thousands Of men
are killed and injured every year right
baEO IN peaceful United States. Some
