The boys hustled the Ryneal
truck out, and the machine was just
rounding into Queen street at the
Peoples Trust Company corner
when one of the drive chains broke.
This brought the truck to a stand
still in helpless condition.
Grasping the situation and a hand
extinguisher simultaneously Chief
Quinn delegated Fireman Fred Key

However the firemen arrived safe

THE COUNTRY MUST INSURE
ITSELF AGAINST INCAPACITY.

In his vigorous speech at Philadel-
phia on Monday night Mr.. Hughes
made an observation that should keep
his countrymen thinking soberly every
day until election morning, the sew
enth of November.
"We cannot say now In what par
ticular sort of mess we shall find
things in March next"
Here Is room for disquieting specu-
latiOn. The Government is in feeble
hands. 1t Is never prepared to act.
in emergencies it does not know what
to do, or how to begin. 1t is the sport
of circumstances. 1t waits for some
thing to turn up with guilty feeling
Of incapacity to deal with untoward
events. Mr.. Wilson, inconstant and
facilitating himself and unable to learn
from experience, can obtain neither
inspiration nor support from his Cabi-
net, which Is the weakest that any
President has called together since

prted only dry candidates. That is,
we have supported only candidates
pledged for dry county, and two
years has proven that the Clearwater
Republican has kept faith with the
people. The Orofno Tribune has
stood for the vets, and supported wet
candidates. The Republican will con-
tinue to be dry. The Tribune is wet
Where do you stand? The democratic
candidates for commissioner. Messrs
Blevins, Detmer and Wilson. are
with the Orofino Tribune, and will, if
elected, give all county W rk to the
WET paper, the Orofino Tribune. A
republican board will support the
Clearwater Reput can, dry paper.
We want to call this to the attention
of the dries of Clearwater county. If
Blevins, Detmer and Wilson win it
means wet paper. We have made
the fight for dry county, and the
dries have their opportunity Tuesday
to say whether they want a wet or a
dry paper in Orofino. 1t is up to the
people to say. God pity the man or
woman who talks and prays dry and
votes WET.

The democrats levied only II mills
for state and county in 1914. County
Auditor Kaufman says the levy should
have been % mills to have been suffic-
lent to have paid the debts incurred
by the democrats for 1914. The re-
publicans levied II. 80 for state and
county in 1915, and 8 mills for war
rant redemption to pay off the legiti-
mate debts of the county, repudiating
$44, 900 claimed by Nease for the
Nease guess. We have been asked
how much the increase of 1915 over
1914 should have been. The answer
is AZ per cent. That is, had the dem
ocrats paid their own debts, the re-
publicans would have had to levy only
II 80 mills for state and county.
But it took AZ per cent of what taxes
should have been to pay them in 1915.
But the republicans are not RESPONSE
BILE The law made it their duty to
levy enough to pay the legitimate
debts of their predecessors, as we'll as
provide funds for their administration.

the Civil war. The policy of the Demo-
cratic Administration Is not SO much
watchful AS fearful waiting. 1t is
tiabby, timid, procrastinating, always
undecided.
So anything may happen to the ma
ton, any disaster. any disgrace. Mr..
Hughes Is right: we don't know
'in what particular sort of mess we
shall find things in March next" The
country is helpless to prevent blunders
and imbecilities which may involve
it In an unwelcome war or tarnish
it's honor; but the people can see to
it that an American President with
character and stamina as well as with
brains Is In the White House on March
to pilot the country through the
rapids, and the people can give him
Republican Congress to provide the
legislation he asks for to carry out
his policies. The people can be in no
doubt that the Cabinet Charles Evans
Hughes selects will contain only able
and efficient men, the best the coun-
try affords.-New York Sun.

his own virtues. Law! West knows
about as much law as the dub who
said, when asked who Blackstone was !:
"He was an Italian poet who wrote
comic verses. He talks about the
duties of the Office of county attorney
as tho his election entitled him to

Tariff q Benef action.

Every campaign of the Republican
party since first it declared for the
freedom of slaves and the preserva-
tion of the Union has declared for a
Protective Tariff.
Democrats have declared for Free
Trade, insisted the Tariff is solely a
logical question, made dominant for
revenue only, and President Wilson
dissolved the Taft Tariff commiss ion.
1t has no policy on the Tariff except
the p, s.tive declaration that Prot-c-
tive Tariff is vicious and iniquitous.
1t now favors Tariff commission
compos I'd Of men who by inheritance
and training believe Protective
Tariff is special-interest legislation.
Republicans do not believe the peo-
pie pay the Tariff, and the high cost
of living is evidence that the men
who import or the foreign producers
pay the Tariff.
We were told that foodstuffs, ETC.,
would be cheaper when Tariff was
taken from sugar, exc. The Southern
manufacturers of sugar dis nantled
their sugar leineries, losing millions
of dollars to the owners, and sugar is
higher than during the days of Repub-
lican prosper ty. Likewise other
commodities refused to come down at
the waving of the Democ attic and of
practical Free Trade.
Thus the pro .estations of DEM
ocratic orators are shown to be de-
fusion and a snare.
The Tariff has for ears been shown
to be benefaction to the people ana
not a tax. Monmouth, Ill. Daily
