shapeless undergarment is a thing

will use the nainsook, batiste or

picturesque fashions Of victory's day.
You'll see these ribbon loops and

The democrats of Clearwater county
turned over unpaid warrants amount
ing to some eighth of a million dol
lars which the republicans paid or
repudiated. The republicans levied
8 mills in 1915, raising some $4,000
for warrant redemption, and repudi-
ated some $44, 900 more issued for
Nease. Had the democrats Deen fair
with the people they would have
levied at least THIRTY MILLS for
1914. In 1915 the republicans would
have had nothing for warrant redemp-
ton. II mills would have paid all
warrants issued by the republicans.
We are not talking from guess. The
records will verify these statements.
The democrats levied II mills in 1917
and spent the equivalent of THIRTY
MILLS. If any one had to sell thu

SULTAN AND SMITH HAVE
. MADE GOOD.

Sheriff Sullivan and County At
torney Smith have made good. They
took charge of the enforcement of the
law when Clearwater county was
disgrace to the state; bootleggers
were flourishing everywhere. Con-
ditions in the county we're so rotten
that parents were desperate. We
remember very we'll the condition
at Fraser where bootleggers brazenly
flounted their wares in the faces of
boys and girls, and virtual reign of
terror prevailed. During the last
campaign the editor of the Republican
was repeatedly told by reliable citi-
zens, when asked why they did not
make complaint against the bootleg
gers, that they were afraid to do any
thing; the gang had threatened to
burn their property and otherwise in
jure any who should testify against
them. A report came from Elk River
that the decent women of the town
were to be insulted if the republican
officials, Messrs. Sullivan and Smith,
sheriff and county attorney. enforced
the law and closed up the houses OF
prostitution The people know how
we'll the laws have been enforced. No
county in the state; no county in the
whole of the United States, for that
matter, can show better record tol
law enforcement. These officers have
cleaned up the dirty mess inherited
from the democratic misfits who
winked at bootleggers and permitted
Nav Patterson and her ilk to flourish
without interference. Sheriff Sulli
van and County Attorney Smith hav'
been so efficient in the discharge o.
their duties 80 thorough is their worl
as officers, that with but one exception
did bootlegger escape, and few hat

Attention is called to the various
tables appearing in this paper, touch
ing on county affairs. They are alb
solutely correct, being taken from the
county records, and are not disputed
The opposition has so far made no
effort to refute single statement
contained in any of them, and being
public record. and open for inspection
and published weeks in advance of
the election, there is only one reason
why no denial has been offered-these
fscts are undeniable. The tables
show the various levies since the
county was created; one table shows
for what purpose the funds have been
levied, and the amount levied for
every purpose. They show the
amount of funds raised and the
amount spent. They show the exact
financial condition of the county, and
what, if any, Indebtedness incurred.
There can be no denial of authenti-
Gated facts and that is why no denial
has been attemp ell. Ii the people
will study these various tables care
fully the Republican will feel amply
repaid for whatever labor and ex-
pense it has incurred in supplying the
people with this valuable information.

SHAME ON OUR PRESIDENT.

The most humilating thing in the
history Of the United States occurred
at the close of tine recent congress
when organized labor, like midnight
robbers, put gun in the face of Con-
gressmen and demanded that certain
legislation be passed within a few
hours. We are not caring what the
merits or demerits of the issue may
be. We don't care if the railroad
employees are absolutely right, and
their demands justified. That has
nothing to do with it. The humilat.
ing thing is that this thing strikes
at the foundations of government; it
substitutes mob law for organized
government, and means, if it means
anything, the end of government. 1t
is the same thing as if man should
go to Judge Of United States court
and say: II have case in your
court. will give you ten minutes
to decide that case in my favor, and
if you don't do it I'll begin killing
innocent citizens; I'll stop the food
supply of millions of people; I'll cut
off the milk supply of thousands of
babies, and bring about riots, vio-
le' ce. mob rule and national dsas-
ter. ;" If that. thing could happen
| then would be TIE end of government.
1t would mean the end of corstitu-
tional rights; it would mean that
brute strength had superseded orderly
government of, for and by the peo
ole.
Congress should have stood like {
rock and resisted to the end. The
president of this nation should hav,
had the moral courage to face thu
mob and refused to surrender at III
point of the pistol.
May we inquire where this thing il
going to end? Congress has submit
ted to one outrage. How long be
fore another mob will appear ant
give Congress "till Monday night ;
to pass certain law?
Well may the American people in
quire where this thing is going t.
erd. Well may we hang our head
in shame and modification. as we Sc
the President surrendering under tn
threat of mob rule and violence, play
ing to the gallery because he is
candidate for office and wants tn
votes.

Newspaper advertising is the cheap
est advertising in the world and the
best. The merchant who advertises
thru newspaper can do it for less
expense than he can in any other
way. Take the cheapest kind of
circulars and the postage alone costs
one cent each. Then there is the
cost of paper, and the cost of one en-
velope, and the cost of mailing. The
total cost of mailing any kind of a
circular is about two cents for each
person reached, and then it is not to
be compared to newspaper advertising
for nobody throws their local paper
down without first looking it over.
If they only glance at a page they
cannot overlook any well displayed
al on the page. and perhaps will see
the ads many times. The cost OF
running page ad in the average
weekly paper is about the cost of the
postage alone requ red for circular $,
saving the merchant the expense OF
paper, envelopes. addressing and the
time and bother of licking stamps.

Look at this! Does the Weippe
Herald approve of Blake's arbitrary
and unjust valuation, or will it give
Mr.. Hinckley credit for being fair,
impartial and just to all taxpayers as

zens want?
There were scores of these non
resident claims. and the aggregate re.
duction made by the Nease cruise,
and justly made, made to the COM
mon people, added to the timber de-
stroyed by fire, will account for all OF
more of the difference in the Blake
assessment in 1914 and that by Mr..
Hinckley in 1915 6.
What, then, becomes of this howl
about Assessor Hinckley reducing
timber valuations 81, 600, 900?
If the reduction has not yet beer

When the democrats came into
power sugar was selling for five cents
a pound and yet it was paying fifty
million dollars year in revenue to
help support the government. Since
the democrats reduced the tariff, we
are losing about $36, 900, 600 year in
revenue, and we can buy sugar for
about eight or nine cents a pound.
The democrats have given this $36,
600, 900 sugar revenue to the sugar
trust and collected it from the people
by stamp tax on notes, kilograms etc.

payer can find that the total assessed
valuation of Clearwater county in
1914, after equalization, was $40. 600,
TOP, and of this amount $435, TAB was
standing timber owned separately
from the land. The total valuation
of patented lands in 1914 was 81, 594,-
GOA. This last item includes all the
agricultural lands as we II as the tim
bered lands. These figures are Off
cial. They are of record in the an
nual statement of the county auditor
for the fiscal year ending April 10,
1915, which may be secured upon APP
| plication to that officer.
The actual value of the timber
holdings in Clearwater county in 1914,
after equalization, was abe tut Sc, 74l,-
Ss5, instead of $40, 900, 600 as stated
in the Weippe Herald.
If the Weippe Herald wants to be
fair it will deduct from this 1914
timber valuation of Sc, TAI, 1886 not less
than $500, 900 destroyed by fire in the
Washington creek basin alone. Could
Mr.. Hlnckley go on assessing the
Scofield holdings after they ceased to
exist?
Let the Weippe Herald be honest
with its readers and it will admit
that P. H. Blake had one basis for
the small timber owner who lived in
the county and had vote, and an
other, outrageously high; an unjust,
arbitrary and confiscatory assessment,
based on desire to make a display
for the purpose Of Campaign dope.
The one good thing about the Nease
cruise is that it put stop to this in
Justice, as the following few non.
resident timber owners will show.
The first column shows the arbi
trary valuation placed on these non
voting property owners in 1914 by
Assessor Blake, and the 1915 column
shows the same property assessed b.
Mr.. Hinckley, based on the Neas'
cruise. Verify these by the records
if in doubt as to their authenticity

that the Clearwater Republican is
making votes for Mr.. West and the
other Blake candidates. This natur-
ally worries Mr.. West, who can't
sleep nights for fear the republicans

squirm SO. Suppose the democrats
spend some of their campaign funds
with the Republican, paying us to

If you are interested take time to

He groveled in the mire at the feet
of organized labor, taking Congress

the women of America ask for the
right to vote the President smiles and
tells them to be patient. The women

This will apply to all others who

They are telling that which they
know is untrue. They are asserting
without proof. They are talking
nonsense. The county records show
that timber companies paid 63 per
cent of the taxes of the county in

cent. That was what P. H. Blake
