The idea of talking about Democrats
voting Republican primary ballots
Why, Bill Lee himself stalled in al
effort to define a Republican" If you
are more interested now in Republic
an than in Democratic candidates, you
are Republican for all practical pur-
poses-such as voting Tuesday, for ex-
ample. If anybody challenges you at
the polls it will be representative of
the ring. Take the oath, if he insists,
and laugh at him. 1t will make him
awful mad

is to see justice done. not merely to get
convictions.
Vote for George G. Pickett because
he is better than A. H. Oversmith;
because he is not the rings candidate
for office; because he has no plan or
incentive to use office as a means of
dominating other county officers, or
as political club, or as step toward
political bossism in Latah county; be-
cause he would enforce the law; be-
cause he would not put the county to
unnecessary expense in trying to make
cases just to get into the limelight;
and because he has no ambition to be
county boss.

Is it any wonder that they enter in

question that George Sievers and
Frank Slater are trying to put to the

at all. Both men, with Mr.. Lyon, are

o. LOOK WHO'S HERE

A. H. Oversmith of Troy, po-
litica1 has-been and also-ran, has
cast his lot with the people of
Moscow. He was the big noise in
the Latah county delegation in
the tenth session, and was retired
to private life by the Latah voters
last fall He aspired to the SEN
atorship, you may remember) He
enjoys the unique and unenviable
distinction of having failed to Sc
cure or having prevented the Sc
curing of justified tax reductions
in Latah county by his we'll meant
but clumsy and misdirected eff
forts to represent their interests
before the state board of equali-
cation.
We sincerely hope that Mr..
Oversmith may become a quiet,
modest, and cred.table. and even
a valuable citizen of Moscow; and
venture to hope that he will not
feel any obligation to take charge
Of affairs here before he has HAD
time to get his feet warm.

WILSON FLEXiBIllTY.

We do not see why there should
havA 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 reasonable and honest in
ference" and making it possible, if
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.
But the Evening Post and Senator
Borah are old fogies. dating back to
the time when it was the custom to
have fixed beliefs and principles and
stick to them. The senator has evil

Persistent efforts of ring politicians
to make the people believe that cand-
idates not approved by them or not
subservient to them are tools of cor
porate interests reflect discredit upon
Bill Lee, who for years has been To-
cal attorney for the Northern Paci-
fic. and A H. Oversmith, who tried
to get business from the Washington
Water Power company. 1t looks as
il the rival bosses are not above serv-
ing corporate interests themselves.

AT the time this editorial first ap
peared Mr. Oversmith had just Dough
property in Moscow and had move'
his home from Troy to the COUNT
seat.
The Star-Mirrar was subjeC ted to /
good deal of severe criticism for print
ing this editorial.
The editorial was said to be flaS-
rantly inhospitable to a newcomer
1t was said to be harsh and unfair
Those who did not know Mr. Over
smith, his record, his character and
the actual conditions and motives back
of that move from Troy to Moscow
took up the cudgels in HIS behalf.
First and last the Star-Mirror has
endured good deal Of misplaced and
ill-founded abuse because of the hope
ii expressed publicly that when Mi.
Oversmith came to town he would be
a credit to it and would mind his own
business.
Eighteen months have now passed
and during all that time, Mr.. Over
smith in the role of the mistreated
under-dog, has enjoyed good deal
of sympathy, has attracted a good
deal of notice. and has profted by
the feeling of the public that he
wasn't getting a square deal.
Eighteen months have passed and
the very people who once criticised us
for printing this editorial are telling
us they now wonder why they did so
They have learned whole lot.
