Women Expose Political DupIicity.

The Suffragist, official organ of the
national Woman's Suffrage organi-
cation, says:
President Wilson's supporters
are now calling Heaven to witness
that their candidate went all the
way to New Jersey to cast a vote for
suffrage in that state.
President Wilson did vote for suff-
rage in New Jersey.
In congress, where the chances for
the success of woman suffrage were
good. he turned his whole party
machine against it; in New Jersey,
where defeat was sure, he cast a
solitary vote in its favor.
The above shows that the women
of America are not to be deceived by
any of Woodrow's woeful wabbling
for policy sake. The women expect
the President to be man.

them on the floor.
And some fell among fake schemes,
whereupon popular contempt sprang
up and checked them.
But some OF the seed fell into leg

their way into the homes of the peo-
pie who had time to read them. This
seed sprouted and brought forth fruit
in abundance.

OROFNO IDAHO FRIDAY, September 29 1915
Exposes OrofinO Tribune.

Elk River Sentinel: In an abusive
first-page article the Orofino Tribune
charges Assessor Hinckley with hav-
ing. for dishonest reasons, cut the as
sessment of "a certain quarter sec
tion" of timber from $40, 900 in 1914
to $3.50 in 1915 and of another from
$4, 800 in 1914 to 81, 700 in 1915.
What quarter sections are these?
What is the description of them.
Is the Tribune afraid to tell? Is it
afraid the people will catch it in
Lief Taxpayers would like to know
what quarter section is worth $lO,-
0O0,E and what reduced it to $500.
They want to know and they are en-
titled to know.
There is entirely too much person
al blackguardism in Clearwater
county politics. The Tribune must
give opportunity for the probe or
stand convicted of reckless lying.
What happened to this $40, 900
quarter section? Was it burned or
did it never exist? Was the 1914
assessment wrong or was Mr.. Hinck-
ley wrong?
Having virtually charged Mr..
Hinckley with being crooked, the
Tribune must ''come through" it
must tell what it means or back up
what it says. q
Assessor Hinckley is a very good
official and is entitled to a definite
accustion that can either be proved
| or disproved. More than that the
people are entitled to know the facts,
lest they elect crook to office.
The Tribune must give particulars
or own itself wilful, malicious liar
If it does give them it will undoubt-
edly be proved that Mr.. Hinckley's
figures are right or very nearly right.
