UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS.

Down in Frisco the other day a
bomb was exploded, killing several
and manning 43. That bomb was
placed in a crowd of innocent specta-
tors by party who said he was pro-
testing against preparedness in the
United States. And there are people
who insist there is room for debate
and argument in a case of this kind.
So far as the Republican understands
the English language the man who is
supposed to have placed the bomb
also sent warnings to the newspapers,
and the language used sounds very
similar to the language and senti-
ment expressed by very prominent
Orofino socialist, whose opposition to
preparedness differs only in that up 70
date nobody IT. Orofino has been muir
dered by bombs. If the sentiments
expressed by the bomb-murderer at
San Francisco is worthy Of liberation,
then the same kind of sentiment is
probably all we'll enough in Orofino,
but for our part this kind Of stuff is
the product of unbalanced minds, and
dangerous citizens. If there is a
class on earth that serves the term
'undesirables, it is this class.

pany went broke buying these pro-
ducts, for soon all the butter and eggs
in the world would be shipped to
Orofino and unloaded onto the hands
of those who arbitrarily, without re-
gard to natur. laws of supply and
demand, cost of manufacture, or any
other element that really fixes prices,
attempt to fix an artificial market.
That combinations sometimes corner
the market, and the producer some
times is skinned by commission men,
will not be denied, but what is the
legitimate market, and what deter
mines, for instance, the price of a
pound of butter, dozen eggs, a
pound of beef, or a sack of sugar
That is the most exasperating ques-
tion, and we would like to know.

lite, then, limit it to butter, and tell

INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT.

Invisible government That
term will rise up to mock the entire
alleged democratic county ticket.
We say 'alleged, because we deny
that there is democratic county
ticket in the field. We deny that
Jim Blake is democrat. We insist
that thieving old wolf, disguised
under sleeps skin, is still wolf,
and that calling wolf sheep never
makes sheep out of the varmint.
Invisible government 1t is this
very thing that piled $l26, 900 of
Blake gang debts on the people of
this country. 1t was "invisible gov
eminent that forced Nease cruise
upon this county. 1t was invisible
government that sold Oliver type
writer's to this county, and robbed the
people out Of So, 400 on bridge plans.
"It was invisible government that
stung the people for that old Jail; it
was invisible government that took
county funds and manipulated them
for the benltit OF the Fidelity bank OF
which Jim Blake was and is president.
1t was invisible government" that
changed the 1918 assessment rolls of
Clearwater county to the disadvantage
of the people for the purpose of en-
abling Jim Blake to sell private tim
Der claims to timber companies. 1t
was invisible government" that
permitted bootleggers to ply their il
licit trade in this county unmolested ;
it was invisible government that
protected May Patterson and her class
at Elk River. 1t was invisible
government that ruled Clearwater
county. and the same men who die
tated the policy in this county under
Blake gang rule, are today in control
of the democratic party, and purpose
to again run the county.

BLAKE GANG NAMES TICKET

Talk about states A handful of
Blake FOUNDERS met in Orofino Sat-
urday and selected county ticket.
These slate makers then served notice
that anybody might file, because the
gang could not prevent it, but that
the slate would receive the solid sup
port of Jim Blake's organization,
alleged to be the democratic party of
Clearwater county. This is what
these men call "letting the people
rule!' We do not mean that all
those who attend the democratic
meeting Saturday are bad men. Not
at all. Some of them are very good
citizens, and some of them would, if
elected to office, be honest and eff
cient, but this class of men are not
running the democratic parry today in
Clearwater county, and men of this
character are as much out of place on
jim Blake's county ticket as would be
Joseph Kaufman. If man like
Frank Gaffney of Weippe is slated on
this ticket it is for the purpose of
giving an otherwise bad mixture a
covering of decency for the sake of
appearances. Slippery Jim Blake
should have headed his ticket as state
senator.

The issue in the coming campaign
in Clearwatre county is not between
democrats and republicans, but be-
tween the people and Jim Blake. 1t
is a question AS TO whether it shall be
government of and for and by the
people, or government of and for and
by Jim Blake. 1t is question as to
whether the people shall have honest
county government or Tammany
methods and Tammany rottenness.
No man regardless of his politics,
democrat, republican or socialist, who
is in any way tarred with the Blake
gang stick, is fit. The people have
had enough of it.

TRAIN The HANDS
Manual Training in School
Important, Says Butcher.
Southeastern Kansas Teachers
Meet at COffeyville.

Coffeyville, Kan, Feb. 3.-Disap-
pearance of the free lands in the
United states, which have provided an
outlet for our labor. makes it neces-
sary that our schools offer training in
the manual arts that in the future we
may look to manufacturing for our
development. Thomas w Butcher told
delegates to the annual convention OF
the Southeastern Kansas Teachers as
ISOLATION here today. Doctor Butcher
also urged that in training the hands,
development of the brain should not
be forgotten.
Formerly the home gave the child
adequate training in manual arts. The
use of machinery and specialization OF
labor have driven the manual arts out
of the home. Society demands that
they shall be preserved and the task
has been laid upon the schools. The
schools have attacked the problem
but they have not solved Il. We have
not yet been able to put the same
brain effort into an hour of training
IN the manual arts that we put into an
hour Of study in the so-called aca-
demic subjects Too many teachers
in this field have IN mind as the legiti-
mate product of the movement, the
cabinet maker. rather than the edu-
Gated man. The mechanic is a most
useful member of society, but in
America his usefulness is increased if
he is also an educated man.
IF mere hand training IS sought i
can be acquired more effectively and
more quickly in the shop and factory
than in the school. Not only so, but
IN the shop ard factory the learner is
a producer, d bread winner. not a con-
sumner of the resources of his parents
and OF society
The trouble with the manual
movement is that we borrowed it from
Europe where systems of casts pre-
vail and we have not fully adapted it
to the demands of democracy where
every agency supported by public
funds must be made destructive of
the forces which tend TO stratify So
ciety
What the manual movement in
America must stand for is educa ton
