WILSON FLExiBIlITY.

We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself in
the matter OF the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr. Wilson described this legis-
lation in his Constitutional Govern
ment" as unconstitutional, an "obvi-
ou~y absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boun-
daries of rea sonable and honest in
ference" and making it possible, II
sustained. for congress to legislate
over every particular OF the indus
trial organization and action of the
country" That. we must confess, has
also been the Evening Posts view.
Borah are old fogies dating back to
the time when 1t was the custom to
have fixed beliefs and principles and
stick to them. The senator has evil

HE CAN'T DO 1T.

Roy Leeper can no more deliver the
goods in his wild-eyed and radical as
sessment program than he can lift
himself over a ten-foot fence by his
boot straps. 1t is another case of
the Jew promising the people to save
them million dollars a year in state
taxes. Mr.. Leeper says he will in
crease timber company taxes 1000, :
900 annually, and reduce the farmer
and others fully forty per cent. With
as much sense could he promise to
raise the timber companies $40, 900, :
600 and let other property owners. off
for nothing. One proposition is no
more absurd than the other. One is
just as reasonable as the other.
The first thing Mr.. Leeper would
run up against would be the state
board of equalization and the law,
when his proposition would fall fiat.
1t is not within the power of any
county assessor to run riot, ignore
the law, and use the taxing power to
confiscate one class of property and
exempt another. Common sense will
tell us better than that. We have
to go no farther back than 1914 when
p. H. Blake, making grandstand
play to catch votes, made big fuss
about raising timber company values
and reducing the farmer. But the
state board, not imbued with the
Blake gang scheme to deceive voters,
found it unfair and unreasonable.
Blair Hoar, representing Clearwater
county, could not justify Blake's as
sessment and agreed to cut of 20
per cent. Roy Leeper might assess
learwater county timber at $40, 900,
600, but that is as far as he would
get. Or Mr.. Leeper might assess
our timber at 81, 900, 600, or nothing,
and the state board would place it on
par with other timber in the state.
So what is the use of all this non
sense? The people are not asking
their assessor to do crooked work.
The people want a fair, honest assess
ment, no more no less.

WAR PROSPERITY.

The facts are that whatever degree
of prosperity may have hit this coun-
try, there is no evidence of it in this
section. We are made to pay war
prices for the necessities of life, so
the dollar is now going a very
little ways in the support of the
family. Our millionaire mine owners
have been made richer; the demand
for war supplies has driven wages up
in some places, but nowhere is there
permanent, stable osperity. If
the FARMER is getting better prices
tor grain it is due, not to anything
the Wilson administration has done,
but to the necessities of war, strug-
gle that is devastating Europe and
costing millions in life and proper
ty. Where our country ought to be
building homes, thereby consuming
lumber and other material, employing
labor at good wages, and where there
ought to be normal market for lands
and city property, there is stagnation
and paralysis. We are treading on
eggs, so to speak. and the close of
the war will see our prosperity van
ish, and our factories, now turning
out war supplies, close their doors.
Such prosperity as this is little credit
to the democratic administration.
We want a general prosperity, like
we have repeatedly enjoyed under re-
publican policies where a protective
tariff has made it possible for Amer
lea to protect her people from Eu-
ropean auper LABOR prices. We want
the American market protected from
Chinese eggs, Australian meats. and
European manufactured goods. We
want the home market protected for
our farmers against the products of
Canadian farms. We believe in a
policy of America for Americans, and
tariff that will enable profitable in
vestmerts within our borders.

HUGHES DOES STAND FOR
: DEFINITE POLICIES.

1t is amusing to read democratic
editorial comments on Hughes recent
campaign utterances. 1t Is said that
Hughes is throwing mud - and
8 Hughes criticises Wilson but offers
np definite policy of his own! (which
shows how prejudiced these editors
are. Or, to be charitable, perhaps
they have neglected to read what Mr.
Hughes said, and make blanket
denial without regard to facts. We
know Mr.. Hughes has charged nothing
about Wilson's abuse of the civil
service, or his abuse of patronage and
the public service half as rotten as
the facts in reference to the Orofino
post Office matter, when, over the pro-
test of practically every democrat in
Orofino precinct, and many in other
precincts, P. H. Blake, kicked out as
democratic county chairman, was
forced onto this community as its
postmaster, entrusted with handling
of the peoples mail. The election of
Woodrow Wilson means four years
more of P. H. Blake as our post
master.
1t is wellknown fact that Orofino
is but one of hundreds of communities
where the same state of affairs ex-
lists, the result of vicious patronage
machine built up because the pres
ident of the United States has placed
political rings in power over the pub
lie business. Elderism exists and
rules in Idaho because Woodrow Will
son gave Elder power TO name all APP
ppintees in this state Elder tells
the people who they may have for
post master; Elder names the men
who run our land Offices Elder is
given such power as enables him to
dominate the democratic party in
Idaho, and override the will of the
majority.
Hughes has condemned this and
tells the people he will substitute the
m crit system, and give the people
back their power to govern them
selves. Yet it is said Hughes has no
policy
Wilson has given the country the
rawest kind of pork barrel govern
ment; Hughes condemns this and

The Orotino post office does not be-
lorg to the Blake gang, Bob Elder of
kootenal county nor to any political
ringster. We owe Elder no debt of
gratitude because by the grace of
that gentleman the patrons of this
office are permitted to get their mail.
We should not thank Elderism be-
cause he has imposed on us, agai S.
our will, post master in whom the
citizens have no confidence, and
against whom there was practically
unanimous protest by the democratic
patrons of the Orofino office. Blake's
newspaper now insults the people by
telling them they are indebted to
Elder for being deprived of their
rights as American citizens by
Elder.
The democrats are told to get on
the Elder band wagon and boost for
government of Elder, by Elder, for
Elder. That is what it amounts to
when Bob Elder can tell the people
of Orotino what they want and gef
away with it. There are some demo-
Gratis who will tell Elder where to
head IN, and will not compromise.

offers to substitute business methods

offers to substitute business methods
and decency in government.
Wilson ha made bad mess in
Mexico. Hughes offers a policy that
insures lasting peace with all the
world, giving our citizens once more
respect, and guaranteeing to all the
reasonable protection of this govern
ment.
Wilson stands for violated platform
pledges; he stands for one policy to-
day and its reverse tomorrow. He
was against preparedness and then for
preparedness for free tolls for Amer
lean ships through our own canal, and
then against free tolls; he was for
free trade yesterday, and today he is
for tariff commission; yesterday he
was for peace at any price," and
too proud to fight - Today he is just
the opposite. Yesterday Wilson
stood for one term for presidents, and
today he is running for reelection.
He was elected on platform promis-
ing economy; today the records show
millions more than any of its pred
ecessors.
The Wilson administration stands
for inefficiency, for the debaucrery of
our civil service and our public ser
vice; it has brought upon us the con-
tempt of the world. 1t has imposed
on the people all manner of tax
| schemes for revenue in time of
peace, and that because it has been
incapable of running this government
when applying democratic principles
of free trade. At every turn the peo-
pie are forced to pay some kind of q
! stamp tax to keep our government
from going bankrupt. And this
where a tariff would have filled our
treasury to overlooking, and have met
all legitimate needs of government.
Hughes stands for policies that
have kept US out of war with all the
world. He stands for policies that
have made for all that is best in gov
eminent, and under whichthis nation
has experienced its greatest pro: ress
and most lasting prosperity.

REPUBLICAN VS.. GANG RULE

The Blake crowd bankrupt the
Clearwater county fair, and |. r.
Crow, as secretary, involved it in all
kinds of trouble He abused his
office, devoted funds to his own ben
eft in violation of law, leaving the
farmers premiums unpaid even to
this day. The same crowd did no
better in county affairs. They bank
rupt the county, they violated the law
and squandered the peoples resources.
They ignored the law and permitted
bootlegging. The officials, many of
them, boozed and imposed on the peo-
pie they were hired to serve. They
used the law to serve private ends,
and disgraced the county by resorting
to practices disgraceful in the ex.
IRENE. They made mockery of JUS
tlce, and of the law a farce. Under
the pretext of protecting the people
from timber companies these gang
officials levied blackmail and col
lected tribute, making of themselves
political pirates without conscience
and devoid of principal. In violation
OF law the peoples funds were wasted
in riotious living. County officials.
in spite of law, travelled over the
country at public expense on trivial
excuses. making the people pay for
their pleasures. This state of affairs
came to sudden end when exposed in
1913 and 1914, and the people awoke
under warrant indebtedness of
Sl26, 600 piled up without reason and
in violation of law In less tran two
years the republicans have changed
all this. Graft has given way to
economy Public officials are now
serving the people; public. funds are
no longer wasted; the law is observed:
our county is out of debt. The con
trast Is too apparent to need detailed
explanation. Where gang rule and
Tammany methods prevailed. there is
now legitimate business methods and
government Of, for and by the people.
10 assert the people are going to back
peddle and turn Clearwater county
back into the hands of the Blake
crowd is to charge the people with
lack of good sense.

Bob Elder is quoted as saying that

elect two county commissioners
and the assessor in Clearwater county.
He crammed post master down our

our county, levy our taxes, spend

to what the people want. Elder

from the people of Clearwater

The NATION is SHOCKING.
LY UNPREPARED.

IT Is apparent that we are
snocklngly unprepared. There
Is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les.
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
tess, | peHeye, than 100000 are
there or in Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that is, we
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in
order to prevent bandit incur
slons. In view Of the warnings
OF the past three years, it is
me- disable that we should find
GU. selves in this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen. who
WITH fine patriotism responded
10 t. IS call and are bearing this
bura3n, | have othing but
prat g. But | think it little
short of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men. from
their shops. their factories, their
offices and their professions for
such a purpose. This, however.
Is not all. The units of the Ma.
tional Guard were at peace
strer 9Th. which was only about
one.Ealf the required strength.
1t was necessary to bring In
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only a small
percentage of the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
in the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours of military drill. and,
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and phy
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment. without
necessary supplies: suitable
conditions of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent:
and conditions which should
have been we'll known were dis.
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency. comparatively
speaking. was not very grave
one. It involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
of disturbance, and required
only modest talent for organ
ization. That this Adrninistra.
ton while pursuing It's course
in Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist Is al
most ncredible.-From Mr.
Hughes speech OF acceptance.
