RESTAURANTS ARE ASKED
TO AID VICTIMS OF WAR
Proprietors Requested to Permit
Contribution Boxes to Be Put In
Their Places of Business.

An appeal was sent today to the pro-
prietors of the larger restaurants in
the city to permit contribution boxes
to be placed in their establishments for
the fund to aid starving Armenians and
Syrians who have been driven from
their homes by the war.
The appeal was sent out by DR.. NJ. NJ.
Dolmage on behalf of the Washington
auxiliary committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief, of which Henry B. F. Mac
farland is chairman. 1t follows:
THE President of the United States
by special proclamation, authorized by
a resolution of Congress, has designat-
ed October 81 and 20 as joint days on
which the American people may give
what they feel disposed for the relief
of the suffering and starving Armenian
and Syrian peoples
Before the European war the Ar
menians resident in Asia Minor num-
bered about 2.5OO,00O souls. Atrocities.
exile, starvation--all in the name of
military necessity-in two short years
have resulted in the death of nearly
100000 of these people. And the
Syrians have suffered equally as much.
Scores, yes, hundreds, are dying each
day.
THAT is why President Wilson has
designated these two days as Armenian
and Syrian relief days Prompt aid
only will save these nations from
absolute extermina ton. Ambassador
Morgenthau has estimated that S5,000,
900 is needed; and the people of Wash
ington are planning to do their share.
To make the giving easily possible 1t is
the plan of the Washington auxiliary
committee to place contribution boxes
in all the restaurants of the city.
"A representative of the committee
will call upon you in the near future.
and we depend upon the nagnanimity
of your heart to allow the placing of
this box in prominent place for these
two days.
Trusting that, as we are showered
with blessings of peace and comfort,
you will join us in doing humanita-
rian duty to these two races who have
suffered martyrdom."

iNFANTILE PARALYSIS
HITS HOLY NAME PARADE
Fifteen Hundred Boys Cannot Go to
Baltimore Because Disease Is
Prevalent There.

The Holy Name Societies of the Dis
trict of Columbia, who will go to Bal
timore Sunday to take part in the dio-
cesan Holy Name demonstration in the
monumental city, will not be accom-
panied by the junior members of the
many parishes of this city. much to
the disappointment of the 1900 boys
who had made all plans to be in the
marching.
The disappointment is due to the
prevalence of infantile paralysis in
Baltimore. Attention of Rev. J. w.
Daily of the Church of the Holy Com
forter was directed to the conditions
in Baltimore by one of his parishioners
being held in quarantine there, and he
at once notified President John Hadley
Doyle of the Washington Holy Name
Societies. Father Daily interviewed the
health authorities of Baltimore, and
their report was emphatic against the
bringing of children under fifteen years
to participate.
On returning to the city, Father
Daily, in company with Adam A.
Weschler, vice president of the Holy
Name Society. had a talk with Health
urged that the children be kept away
from Baltimore. The result of the in
terview was sent to President Doyle,
and he issued instructions to stop the
sale of all half-rate tickets. and that
under no circumstances would any of
the juniors be taken on the trip.
The preparations for the senior Holy
Name Societies goes on with a rush,
and there is every prospect that the
number will exceed the limit that was
claimed some weeks ago
Many of the societies have agreed to
wear red carnations in the lapels of
their coats as a compliment to his en-
inence, Cardinal Gibbons, including
those of Sacred Heart, st. Pauls, st.
Mary's. St. Martins, Holy Comforter
and st. Matthews.
Tomorrow evening st. Stephens and
Holy Trinity parishes will hold pre-
paratory rallies.

PUPILS ARE GATHERING
BIG SUPPLY OF PAPER
Return of Washington People From
Vacations Has Increased Amount
Available for Fairgrounds!

With the announcement Of tentative
plans for the collection of old news
papers and magazines and the proba-
bility that collections will begin by the
end of the week, pupils throughout
the school system are more Interested
than ever in the plan by which it is eN-
pected to raise large sum of money
for the Fairgrounds this year through
the sale of the old material.
Children who are collecting old pa
pers and magazines find that now they
can collect much larger quantities than
they could earlier. when the plan was
first proposed. The reason is that an
vacationists. practically. have returned
to the city. Therefore more persons
are getting papers and magazines IN
the city.
No decision has yet been reached as
to the definite purpose TO which the
fund raised through the sale of the old
papers and magazines will be put
Quite likely it will be diverted into
number of channels. SO that practically
every need will be assisted
Provides Considerable Income.
The saving of old papers this year
provides means for considerable In
come for the school Fairgrounds and
social activities. With this money and
that which already has been appropri-
ated by Congress, it is probable that
the Fairgrounds will be more literally
provided for than ever before.
"Op," elf who is guardian of old pa
pers and who gets his name from the
initial letters of the two words old
papers" is keeping a jealous eye on
the old papers of Washington. Sug-
eestions are being made from time to
time that his name is also the begin
ming of other words. such as "oppor-
tunity" The latest suggestion Of this
cha cter is that his name is the be-
ginning of the Latin word opus,
meaning work, and it is said by the
one who suggests this that the work
which CD is forwarding is one which Is
surely worth while"

"This country will never get back
to settled conditions and the machin-
cry of the government will never run
smoothly until the Republican party
once more assumes control, said a
Pennsylvania congressman in the
eloakroom a few days ago. THE
Democrats have made a mess of every
thing they have touched. The party
has no policy and no principles and
from the president down it is running
around like hen with its head cut
off, Topping here and Topping there.
1t has one policy in Mexico and one
policy in Europe; it is against tariff
commission one year and for it an
other; it is for free sugar one session
and fer tariff on sugar another; it has
DIR. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde beaten a
city block.

The people will not be stampede

The people will not be stampede
by immaterial issues. With the re-
publicans it is question of whether
or not the officials have made good.
That is the whole issue. If they
have it is immaterial whether Sheriff
Sullivan sells or holds his Elk River
property, or the color of some other
officials eyes. County officials are
simply the peoples hired employees
and the sole test and the material
thing is-have the various county
officials made good? That is the
whole things in nutshell. Suppose
one enumerates the various county
officers, with a view to determining
where, if at all, any of them have
failed. Nobody will contend these
officials are perfect. They are human.
They have made mistakes, but
fairness to all will prompt us to adj
nit that they have made good. Why,
then, kick them out? What could
the people expect to gain by a
change? And in Heavens name,
can it be possible the people, with
els open, will del Der 4tely turn this
county back into the hands of Jill
Blake?
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1916-09-15

P. H. Blake howled about lam
basting timber companies and the
state board cut his assessment 90 per
cent. Assessor Hinckley bolstered
his values just as high as he thought
would get by. He was above the
genreal average of timber over the
state and was reduced per cent.
Roy Leeper proposes to jump timber
values in Clearwater county so per
cent. He'll make good-in pig S
valise. AS we'll he might run on a
platform promising round trip excur-
sions to Mars, or $50 bushels of wheat
to the acre, or to show the farmers
how to raise four-year- steer in
one minute. Leeper will discover
that it is one thing to ignore the law
and wink at bootlegging while draw
ing pay as deputy sheriff at Elk River
and quite another to cram campaign
bunk down the throats of the state
board of equalization.

THE NEASE CRUISE CASE.

The Nease cruise, the court records
show, is at best but makeshlft;
sometimes bad guess, full of errors;
sometimes varying 400 per cent from
reliable estimates of timber tracts;
sometimes overlooking good timber.
Responsible settlers have said that so
far as their own claims are concerned
the Nease cruise is fake. For this
work the people have already paid
Nease $50, 600. Nease sued the county
for $44, 600 more. The republican
county officials, after a careful in
vestigation, refused to pay the S44, 600
outstanding warrants issued by the
democrats, and the United States
court, after hearing all the evidence,
sustained every point raised by Clear
water county, and added that aside
from all other considerations the war;
rants were unconstitutional and there
fore illegal. Nease has SIX months
to take an appeal. Can the people
trust Jim Blake county board and a
Jim Blake hand-picked county attorney
to carry on the light for the people
in case Nease takes the appeal? The
people know what the republican Off
Gals will do. Hadn't the people
better stop and do little thinking?
There may be reason why the Orc
fino tribune insists that tlis crui. e
admittedly rotten, is worth S64, 0Co
and the accrued interest. There may
be motive, moie than appears on
the surface, why Jim Blake is max
irg every possible effort to elect a
county board and a county attorney
and county assessor friendly to Jim
Blake. A Jim Blake county board
imposed this Nease cruise on the peo-
pie. A Jim Blake set of county
officials could find an excuse for letting
the case go by default.

HOLSCLAW BOBS UP.

A. A. Holsclaw, says the Orofino
Tribune, was nominated on the DEM
ocratic county ticket in Benewah
county for county attorney. Must be
hard up for material when Holsclaw
can nose out.
Holsclaw as county attorney is
like electing sewer rat health officer
and expecting results; he wouldn t
recognize a violation of law if he
found one in bed with him, and
couldn't discover bootlegger or a
house of prostitution if booze was
flowing in like Johnstown flood, and
prostitutes were boldly advertising
with circus posters on the front of the
ST. Maries post office. Holsclaw as
county attorney held an inquest and
didn't know enough to establish the
fact that the victim was dead, or that
somebody was dead, who was dead,
or any material fact that could have
been of any value in convicting the
guilty party had he been caught. At
the hearing it developed that a minor
was present at the killing, and swore
that he waa furnished intoxicating
liquors in house of i'll fame in Elk
River where the murder was COM
mitted. Hlosclaw was county at
torney, whose duty it was to enforce
the law, and here was a crime. Here
were houses of prostitution running
in violation of law, and they We're
bootlegging; they We're doing more
than that they had furnished a minor
liquor, another crime, and Holsclaw.
as county attorney, took no steps to
enforce the law and punishthese viola
tors. Having been kicked out of
Clearwater county he moved to green
er pastures and is once more aspiring
for the office of county prosecutor.
