Prominent Republican Candidate for
Governor Visits Emmett

George E. Crum of Lewiston, candi-

on the Republican ticket, spent few
hours in town today, and created a
favorable impression upon those he

FLOWERY TRIBUTES FOR
The DEAD
Decoration Day Observed in a
More General Manner Than
Ever Before

Never before in the history of this
section has Decoration Day been more
generally or more patriotically OBJ
served than it was this year. Busi-
ness houses closed for the day and a
very large number turned out to offer
their tribute to those who sleep be-
meath the sod and the dew. A pretty
! feature of the exercises was the pre-
sence of a goodly number of bright
faced school children, who trewed
flowers over the graves of the soldier
dead.
Before starting for the cemetery, a
short service for the unknown sailors
and marines was held on the Main
street bridge over the Farmers canal.
Then headed by the band and followed
by the Grand Army veterans, Relief
Corps, Company NJ, Idaho National
Guard, school children, carriages and
automobiles, the procession marched
to the railroad crossing, where autos
and other conveyances transported the
old soldiers, members of the Relief
Corps and others to the cemetery.
The services at the burial grounds
were in charge of Post. Commander
George Gardner and Finley Monroe,
and consisted of music by the band,
prayer by Chaplain R. Barrett, read
ing of the G. A P. service by Com
mander Gardner and Mr.. Chambers,
reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress by C. L. Gamage, reading of
John A. Logan's Memorial address by
Finley Monroe, a splendid address
fitted with patriotic sentiments by Rev.
A. C. Lathrop, bendiction by Rev.
Hunter, the salute by Co. NJ, and
taps by the bugler of Co. NJ.
The parade was the largest ever
seen on Decoration Day in Emmett
and shows that as the years go by
spirit of the day increases rather than /
diminishes.
The memorial sermon was preached
Sunday morning by Rev. C. A. Quinn
in the Methodist. There were in at
tendance, the G. A. R. Post, Relief
Corps and Co. NJ, I. N. G., in uniform,
and the decorations were of a patrio-
tic character. Music appropriate to
the day was rendered.

The editor of the Holbrook
News, who has taken the con-
tract to defend the rotten gang,
that is running the county with
out any regard to law or decen-
cy, insists in his last issue that
the Winslow Mail make good on
the recall, and in a yelled threat
admonishes us to be careful not
to start anything we can't finish.
Mr.. Braxton is evidently not
very we'll acquainted with the
writer, or else forgets we are of
Irish ancestry. The success of
a recall depends entirely whether
the people circulating the peti-
tions secure the proper number
of signatures, a matter that is
beyond the power of any indi-
vidual to enforce. The suit
against the board of supervisors
and their bondsmen for the re-
covery of the $1,000 illegally al
lowed on a demand from Judge
Sidney Sapp will be instituted in
due season, and much to the
discomfort of the News man he
will learn that we will finish
everything we start so far as
lies in our power. What the re-
suit of a recall will be is for the
voters to decide, and the result
of the suit to recover is for the
courts to decide. The statute of
limitations will not be allowed
to run against either, as the law
staff of the Winslow Mail does
not include Judge Sapp nor the
county attorney. Winslow Mail.
