an article indorsing Grinsteaa for
Judge, acknowledges that the
iudgship should be non-partisan,
yet says that if it becomes neces-
sary it will go into certain an
cient political history in his be-
half that may not be exactly pleas
ant to those most directly inter-
ested."
Inasmuch as the Reformer can
didate only a few days ago re-
linquished the county chairman
ship, and only last week appeared
at a republican meeting in New
port and made a republican speech
according to a letter received
from Newport on the subject, it
is evident from the Reformer' ad-
mission that a strong attempt is
being made to line up a partisan
support in the campaign for su-
perior judge.
The Examiner dislikes to see
the old partisan methods brough
up again under the present non
partisan law, and can hardly be-
lieve that the public will sanction
a partisan judgeship. Two of the
candidates have scrupulously re-
Trained from any political party
entanglements, probably losing a
few rabidly partisan votes there
by, but gaining a larger confidence
among the mass of the people by
their evident observance Of the
spirit of the law. A candidate
for Judge certainly has the right
to any political belief he likes,
but his fitness for judge will be
partly determined by his attitude
toward the spirit of the law. Will
son and Dill will probably poll
just as large a vote as though the
Reformer candidate kept still
about national politics.
Senator -. Ham" Lewis, the
democratic whip, spoke in the
senate in reply to the attack upon
the administration made by
Charles f. Hughes, in his speech
accepting the republican nomina-
ton.
Republican structures upon the
administration IS Mexican policy
Senator Lewis denounced as
"treasonable. He charged that
the clause of the republican plat
form repudiating interference
with the internal affairs of Mexico
was responsible for the massacre
the soldiers at Carrizal. "
"Not until the captains Of the
republican party shot at the presi-
dent of the United States did the
Mexican outlaws shoot at the
American soldiers he said. The
platform declaration he character
lied as a summons to Carranza
and Villa to revenge the entrance
of American soldiers into Mexico
and the interference of America in
her internal affairs 1t was the
republican convention which slew
slew the soldiers at Carrizal.
The New York Tribune is ad-
mittedly the foremost Republican
organ of the United States and is
trying hard to be staunch Ameri-
can paper and to support Mr..
Hughes at the same time, but finds
it difficult purpose to accomplish.
In speaking of Mr.. Hughes speech
of acceptance, it comments in part
as follows:
"It would be idle to pretend
that the portion of Mr.. Hughes
address which deals with the
Lusitania massacre and our rela-
tons with Germany is satisfactory
to the Tribune. Nor shall we un-
dertake to make any such pre-
tense"
The Tribune is with very large
company in being dissatisfied with
the speech of Mr.. Hughes, and the
Tribune and the country will also
realize that the country is not
only dissatisfied with the speech
but dissatisfied with Mr.. Hughes
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-08-19

Soon after the nominations
were made in June, when it be-
came known that Teddy would
endorse Hughes, the republicans
offered a few small bets at 2 to l
in favor of Hughes, which were
promptly taken up. But last
week $4,000 was offered on Will
son in New York at odds of 2 to
and no republican takers at that.

BED.
Safe Blown Open and About 500 in
Money Taken.

Burglars entered the post Office at
this place some time Monday morn
ing and blew open the large safe and
secured about 500 in money besides
taking some money order books and
several other small articles. No clew
has yet been secured to apprehend
the guilty parties. 1t is the popular
opinion that the work was done by
expert safe crackers, and that they
made good their escape in an auto
mobile. This theory has been verified
by several of our citizens who heard
the report of the explosion and who
shortly afterwards heard an automo-
bile LEAVE town. r. l.. Brown who
rooms in his barber shop about oppo-
site the post Office places the time be-
tween one and two o'clock that he
heard a noise which he paid little
attention to at the time but after
wards recalls it and is positive that it
was the explosion that blew open the
safe that he heard. c. Ray Moore,
who lives half block away also
heard the noise and also fixes the
time in the neighborhood of two
o'clock. Mr.. Moore says that the
explosion Jared the Robbins garage,
which building he occupies. He was
up at the time for some purpose and
shortly after the explosion saw an
automobile hurriedly leave the city.
Others, too, heard the car but paid
little heed to it. Postmaster J. S.
Moon came down town Monday to
open up the Office and made the dis
covery and Immediately phoned sher-
if King. Mr.. Moon found his safe
pretty badly demolished and the con-
tents missing. There were a great
number of valuable Christmas pack
ages in the Office but none of them
were molested.
The robbers gained their entrance
through the rear door, having broken
out the glass and opening the night
er was not molested and neither were
the stamps taken. The stamps how
ever were in a book and were probab
ly overlooked by the thieves.
About week ago Postmaster
Moon received a warning from the
postal department warning him
againct a gang of safe blowers that
were operating in Iowa and caution
ed him to be careful about keeping
large sums of money in his safe. Mr..
Moon needed the warning and kept
his money banked promptly, but the
robbers took advantage of the fact
that last Saturday was holiday and
the banks would be closed and that
the postmaster must necessarily have
some money that he could not bank.
Mr.. Moon Immediately notified the
postoffice inspector at Crest0n.-Kel
lertOn Globe.

Another example of "watchful
waiting" and the slowness and unbus-
inesslike methods Of the present ad-
minstration, has been exhibited in the
paying of the soldiers who have been
called into service from the militia of
the various states. As one Republi-
can member said: "The failure of the
administration to pay the soldiers
promptly is just another example Of
the slip-shod way the administration
does things Many of these men, or
rather most of them, left jobs with
days pay and they should have had
their money promptly. If we got in
to real difficulties just imagine whae
would happen under the leadership of
the crowd that is at present at the
helm in this country.

PRESIDENTIAL INTROSPECTION

With each succeeding utterance OF
President Wilson We gather added
evidence that he recognizes the need
of further demonstrating a red-blood-
ed Americanism which his public rec
ord does not sustain. Mr.. Wilson is
given TO introspection. He searches
his mental processes and his record
day by day-and compares himself
to the ideal so dear to the dreamer.
Finding himself far short of the ideal
so dear to the dreamer. Finding him
self far short of the ideal, then Mr..
Wilson proceeds TO give utterance to
pretty words calculated TO fill up the
gaps, TO cover up the blotches and
conceal shortcomings.
He is not yet certain that national
defense is a genuine need. He is not
yet at heart divorced from the Bryan
school of thought, therefore he finds
difficulty in mastering a real enthu-
siasm for warships and guns. He
argues with himself, after all should
we prepare -
AS a politician he cannot mistake
the fact that a majority of the people
of the country are for adequate ma
tional defense. As a politician there
fore he is for it, but not without
apologizing 10 himself and to his pa
cifist friends by defining over and over
again the difference between prepar-
edness for defense and militarism.
President Wilson made a speech
some weeks ago, in which he charged
that Republicans are not forward
looking men, thus displaying this very
trick of introspection. He was look
ing back at himself not looking for.
ward. In shallow fashion, he was
charging to the opposition the very
fault he knew TO be his own.
When a man is given TO introspec
ton of the degree which the. president
suffers, his day of constructive, pro
gressive thought and deed has passed
No longer has he the capacity tC
deal with an onward moving world
He is like the tree in full bloom
caught with the frost 1t willis, anC
though retaining some semblance OF
life, yet is incapable of performing
its natural functions.
Wilson reached his prime as a ped
agogue. He is now trying to use hi.
pedagogic background as a means o.
solving great administrative prob
lens. This accounts for the volumes
of words and the conspicuous absenc,
of deeds. He has passed the plastic
stage and is now living in the epocl
where the clay is no longer suscep
tible. to new molds,-the molds de
manded by a world advancing mids
