I'd RATHER BE SQUARE.

I'D RATHER BE SQUARE.
I'd like to be rich, and wonder who
wouldn't,
And yet il it cost me what some
people pay,
I'd like to be rich and find that l
couldn't.
There's too much worth while that is
lost by the way.
To sacrifice friends and ideals--to
surrender
My heart and my conscience, my soul
and my mind
And sell all my dreams for a dollar
marked splendor
Would leave me too poor for the
riches I'd find.
I'd like to be rich, for there g
pleasure in money
It's good stuff to have, and it's good
stuff to spend;
1t helps you to pay for your milk and
your honey,
And gives you chance to be nice to
your friends.
I'd like to be rich, but l ID never be
willing
To pay such price as some men dc
for gold
The cost is too high and the pace is
too killing,
And too many things must be bar
tered and sold.

I'VE HAVE COME BACK. ="

OF course, as we said before, if any
of the present village councilmen
bought Blake gang votes on condition
they would deliver all village print
ing to the Orofno Tribune, the Repub-
lican can hardly expect the gentlemen
to go back on their word. The Trib-
une evidently knew why it said, the
first issue after the last village cleo
ton: 1--WE have come back. There
was evidently some reason why Fitz-
doodle and every other Blake tool
worked hard for one of the two tick
cts. If there was anything more in
volved than village patronage for the
gang paper, time has failed to dis
close it. The trick was turned be-
cause the Republican and some of its
friends were foolish enough to believe
those who disclaimed for peace, and
hepled toelect them. The Republican
now believes at least one member of
the present village board played
double that while he was talking har-
mony and one ticket to the republi-
cans, he was secretely pledging him
self body and soul to the Blake gang
organ. If not why this most peculiar
attitude towards the Republican?
Councilman Frank Jones alone de-
manded square and impartial deal
for the Orofino papers. So far as Mr..
Zelenka is concerned he has never
made any effort to deceive anyone and
the Republican expected him to favor
the Tribune. He has acted consist.
emily, and the Republican respects
him for it. We have all the respect
in the world for any man who stands
up and fights in the open. We respect
the man who tells you he is against
you. But for that slippery, Shiny
sneaking two-faced hyena that stabs
you in the dark; for that kind of 1
skunk we have the utmost abhorance
and so has the public. Such MAI
in doubly criminal. He defraud
those who trust him out of thei
votes, and whatever he promises
whether it be a vote for villag,
marshal or printing for some paper
amounts to bribery.
But the worst feature of the case il
that it makes impossible all hope O.
harmony hereafter. 1t makes it nee
essary for the Republican and it
friends to fight, since it is manifesto,
plain that fighting is the only way t
get anything at all.
We would put the issue squarely Vi
to the citizens of Orofino. Who, nov
is responsible for trouble; who is en-
couraging strife; who is putting
premium on local scraps that disrup
the town and retard its development
Let no man be deceived hereafter

WE ARE ALL PREJUDICED.

The socialist looks at democrat
or republican or prohibitionist
and says to himself: "What a
fool" The democrat looks with pity
on the socialist, and hasn't much use
for the mental capacity of republic
cans. And republicans shake their
heads and wonder how either of the
others have escaped the bug house.
Yet we are all sure we are not one
bit prejudiced.

SHALL WEI PREPARE?

Who of US has SO much faith in 9TH
er nations of the earth that we are
sure Americans are safe without ample
and adequate means of repelling, in
case of invasion, any foreign foe?
Let us suppose France or England or
Russia had been as we'll prepared for
war as was Germany. Do you sup
pose Germany would have plunged the
world into the prese emit conflict? Not
in thousand years. The unprepared-
ness of France and her allies invited
war, and it does not require a wise
man to understand how vastly more
costly has been war than would have
been ample preparedness. Germany
knew better than France or her allies
how unprepared they were, and war
was invited on the least provocation.
The whole trend of the European con-
fiict shows the folly of depending en-
tirely on grape juice diplomacy with
out plenty of powder to back It up.
Ability to defend makes no one thirst
for blood, but a mans fool who will
lie down to sleep with his pockets full
of gold, knowing he is in bad COM
pany, without some precaution to safe
guard his life and property.
If We would avoid war let us be sc
we'll prepared to defend ourself that
there will no doubt about the outcome.
In which case no nation on earth il
going to trample on our right, or pull
feathers out of the tail of the Ameri
can eagle.

FOR 1916.

Portland Oregonian: The demo-
cratic party at Baltimore in 1912
adopted a platform and nominated
candidate for president and elected
him. Since the issues for the cam
paign of 1916 are about to be made
up, it is pertinent to review the dem
ocratic record of achievement or nom
achievement on the basis of platform
pledges forgotten or repudiated.
Here are some of the things the plat
form contained, with statement of
results:
O Specific Endorsement of free
tolls for American vessels thru the
Panama Canal. Repudiated by Con-
gressional act imposing tolls.
(2) Formal assertion of the rights
of the states, with a vigorous denun-
citation of "our opponents for their
'usurpation' in their efforts to de-
prive the states of any of the rights
reserved to them,' so as ito enlarge
and magnify by indirection the powers
Of the Federal government. Repu-
dated by the Ferris bill, an Admins
tration measure.
(3) A moderate conservation APP
proved with the reservation that the
public domain should be admins
tered and disposed of with due re-
gard to the general welfare, and the
''policy of withdrawing enormous
tracts OF public land on which tree
growth never existed and cannot be
promoted" should be discontinued
Repudiated by continuance of the re-
strictive methods of Pinchotism thru
the customary departmental rules and
regulations.
az Single presidential term in
dorsed, with tine candidate of this
convention committed to this princi-
ple." Ignored by candidate and
party.
(5) Extravaganza in public ex-
penditures denounced and return
to that simplicity and economy which
bett a democratic government
promised. Congressional appropria-
tions by the democrats the greatest in
history.
(6) Civil service law Honestly
AMI rigidly enforced approved. But
in practice ignored wherever possible
by officials and openly repudiated by
the spoils legislation designed to
avoid civil service.
(O Full protection to American
citizens abroad and to their property
in any foreign country guaranteed.
Repudiated affirmatively by the Will
son and Bryan Mexican policy.
The democratic party might re-
trieve it's lost reputation for candor
and honesty if it should go before
the people in 1916 on the following
brief but truthful platform:
Resolved. That the National Dem
Ocratic party in convention assem-
bled, opposes, traverses and denounces
the various principles, and repudiates
and ignores the several pledges to
which it was committed by the plat
form of 1912.
What else can the democracy do
in 1916?

America has been aptly styled
"The melting pot of the nations. !"
An amusing instance occurred recent
ly in Boston, says the Front Rank.
"A Chinese laundryman was sued by
an Irish carpenter, defended by He
brew woman lawyer, conducted into
court by Swedish policeman, and
later seated by French court officer.
The witnesses included one Italian,
two Syrians, and a Magyar. Three
interpreters were necessary to make
presentable the questions necessary for
the settlement of the case. -

1t is gratifying to have it from the
Internal revenue department Of tie
government that prohibition does pro-
hibit. All these years the Whiskey
ring has been telling the country that
prohibition only increased the con-

telling the truth, it appears.

Glass Of Persons Who Wish 10
Do Things For the Poor.
USUALLY FOR A SALARY.

These "InteIeetuals" Are Ever Ready
and Anxious to Become Members of
Government Commissions - Workers
Welcome cooperation, but Reject
Efforts at Outside Supervision.
One of the most dangerous phases of
present day affairs is the group of 9TH
erwise disengaged philanthropists who
wish to do things for the poor and the
developing profession of specially
trained salaried individuals who are
anxious to establish ways and means
by which they may solve the industrial
and social problems of the workers.
The burdens that the workers have
borne. the injustice aud abuse that
have been shunted upon them, ought to
arouse sympathy and concern. But
sympathy and concern must be TEN
pered by degree Of wisdom and di-
rected by knowledge of a principle fun
damental for democracy and individual
freedom
The principle involved is the realiza-
ton of one oe the difficult, important
and heartbreaking facts of life-the
limitations upon our capacity to help
our fellows. No one can transmit to
another his knowledge or the results
of his experiences The act of learning
is necessarily personal-it is bound up
with the loneness Of each life. By ac-
quiring knowledge and wisdom, by
mental and moral development. come
progress and growth. Paternalism and
the benevolent efforts to relieve indi-
viduals OF responsibility OF working
out their own lives avert some imme-
diate distress, but they prepare the
way for greater disasters in the future
by weakening the mental and moral
fiber of the people. There is much Of
pathos In the inevitable conclusion, but
you cannot do all things for all people.
You can advise, counsel, but the deci-
sion must rest with the persons con-
cerned. You may long to gather the
suffering and the oppressed under your
guidance, but they have Il right to their
own wills, even to their own mistakes.
But there are people who do not have
an appreciation of what constitutes
the proper sphere of their activities or
a sense of delicacy about invading the
privacy OF another's life. These per-
sons have busted themselves increas-
ingly with the problems and affairs of

ing in Trades Council Hall, We'd
nesday night. The hall was so
crowded that many Of the members
were seated on the floor. Robert
Corley, general organizer for the
machinists in Cincirn natl came up
from that city ana attended the
meeting He informed the local
machinists that their brothers in
Cincinnati were still on strike and
would remain out until better CON
ditions are forth coming.
The local condition was thor
oughly discussed and the machin
ISIS who attended the meeting were
very much interested. They ex-
pect the factories to keep their pro-
mise to give the men the eight

corcede this there will be no trou-
bic in the machine shops in this
city.
The election Of the International
officers will occr in April. The
election promises to be very warm
and the candidates are all lined up
for the battle. Jake Keppler for
merely of Hamilton is a candidate
for member of the General Execu-

that Keppler is one of the best men
the machinists have on the road.
He is hard worker and generally

Dayton SdIOOnistS Should
Buy Union Made Bread

The PRESS has been informed by
unionists of Dayton, Ohio, that
many of the saloon proprietors are
purchasing non union bread from
bakeries that are opposed to labor
unions. The saloon proprietors of
that city should remember that in
the past few years the labor unions
were very active in two ho cam
paigns against the dry forces. The
labor unions cut some figure in
those two elections and were on
the job continually 1t would be
no more than fair for the saloon
proprietors of that city to recipro-
cate by purchasing their bread from
union shops. There might be an
other wet and "dry" election
before long and these same fellows
will want the assistance of the la
Dor unions, in defeating the drys
to retain their business The sa-
looms should show their apprecia-
ton by purchasing nothing but
union labeled bread. This paper
