that discarded tin cans containing

the mosquito which is the sole agent

NOT FIGHTING SOCIALISM.

The Clearwater Republican is not
fighting Socialism. We have no quar-
rel with people who differ with us po-
litically. We respect the rights of
others to their opinions, ard know
that their are good and bad men in all
parties. The Republican has con-
demned, and will continue to con-
denim, reasonable utterances This
paper has condemned lawlessness, and
is opposed to violence. We are
against l. w. w. agitators, and all
other who stand for lawlessness. muir
der, violence, the destruction of this
government, or who would insult its
flag. But we will take our hat off
and honor any good citizen who,
prompted by love of country. and
working for the betterment of his fell
lowmen, labors for reforms. Social
lists believe in government ownership.
Government ownership may be better
for the people than private owner
ship under government regulation.
Experience only can determine this.
But who will charge socialist with
being an unworthy citizen because he
believes in government ownership?
A few days ago bomb was exploded
in Frisco, causing the death of sew
eral innocent people. The Republi-
can condemns that outrage as cowardly
criminal, and vicious. Yet would
be leader of the Socialists of Clear
water county bowls that we are fight
ing socialism. The facts are social
lists are insulted by the imputatior
that condemnation of violence is ar
attack on socialism. We insist that
socialism does not stand for any such
thing as the Frisco bomb outrage,
and that this Orofino self appointed,
wind jamming anarchist; this fellow
who is reported to have said he is
ready to join an invading army to des
troy the United States, is public
menace, traitor to this government
an migrate, an impos;or, enjoying the
blessing of free government and the
protection of flag he scorns anC
hates. To admit that such mar
represents socialists or socialism is tt
say that socialism is utterly bad ant
all together dangerous.

WHERE is THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET?

The Weippe: Herald says there is
democratic county ticket in Clear
water county. Let us see! Two
years ago the democrats of Clearwater
county revolted and kicked P. H.
Blake out as county chairman, win
ming nine out of thirteen of the pre-
cinct committeeman. With these
four, the remnant of their former
organization, Slippery Jim Blake,
discredited and of bad repute, watch
ing an opportunity when the majority
were asleep, and working with l.. R.
Crow. now secretary of the Blake
brand of democracy, elected himself
and E. H. Hilton, Blake rounder,
as delegates to the democratic state
convention at Pocatello. And this
same Jim Blake has claimed to be
democrat only the past two years.
He was a republican. The Clear
water Republican made it too hot for
his kind of cattle and he annexed the
democratic party to himself. And
that is the kind of leadership the
democratic party of Clearwater county
has today, leadership as rotten,
as has ever brought disaster to any
party anywhere on earth.
Will the Weippe Herald insult such
democrats as County Auditor Joseph
Kaufman, John Molloy, John Calf
ney and scores of others by contend
ing that Jim Blake, Slippery Jim
with the pungent reputation, is rec
ognized, credited leader of the dem
ocratic party in Clearwater county
If so, did the people invest Slipper
Jim with this leadership? The We
ippe Herald knows that the democratic
party of this county did nothing of
the kind, and also knows that the
great mass of the democrats of the
county will never recognize and honor
and support such leadership.
So much for this. What then? T.
B. West of Weippe, republican
precinct committeeman while residing
in Kendrick, aspiring for office, turns
his coat and changes his politics,
climbs onto jim Blake band wagon
and blandly announces: 81 am a
democrat -
The Weippe Herald knows that
jim Blake could not get decent dem
ecrats to file for office on the alleged
democratic county ticket, and that the
Blakes, E. H. Hilton, a Blake tool,
and the entire Blake machine raked
the county with fine tooth comb and
then drafted such Blake followers as
they could to complete what the We
ippe Herald insists is DEMO
CRATIC TICKET"
The Republican knows what it Is
talking aDout when 1t says there is
no democratic county ticket in the
field at this time. There is Blake
county ticket; ticket whose election
would be the greatest disaster that
could befall Clearwater county dem
ocrats worthy the name, ana this
ticket will never be elected if its elec-
tion depends on the votes of democrats.

have murdered our citizens; Mexican
OUTLAWS have ravished our women and
shot down our men; Mexican bandits
have invaded American soil and
sacked and plundered towns on our
side of the international line, and
Wilson has saved US from war by TAX
ing these things. When our flag was
insulted and our people murdered at
Vera Cruz Wilson demanded an opel
ogy and sent our fleet to enforce
compliance with his demands. After
a period of "watchful waiting and
grape juice diplomacy, Wilson
backed out, sneaked home, and that
apology has not yet been made.
Kept his country out Of war! That
is not true. At no stage Of Eurore's
war has their been chance to involve
the United States. Name the
country, you who are crediting Will
son with keeping us out of war, that
has wanted to get us into this war.
Name the European nation with
whom we have had any reason to go
to war. Is it England? Is it
France? Is it Russia? Is it Aus
tria? Is it Turkey? 1t was the
business of the United States to have
protested when Germany invaded poor,
helpless, Frustrated Belgium? In the
name of humanity, this great nation
of ours should have protested for Bel
GUM, and if Germany laid her
mailed fist on that little neighbor
! this country should not have fought
Germany, but have refused then and
there to have anything to do with
Germany until her wrong to Belgium
was righted. We should have broken
diplomatic relations with Germany
over Belgium, and it was no credit to
the United States that this big
brother of the world lowers stood by
and raised not so much as a protest
when German armies despoiled this
little country.
When German submarines invaded
the high seas Of the world and began
campaign of wholesale murder,
eliminating in the destruction of
the .Lusitania, Wilson's secretary
of state, William Jennings Bryan,
wanted his government to recognize
Germany s right to murder our cit
liens by accepting the murder as an
incident of war, and then further
Inundated this country by suggesting
that neutrals get off the earth; that
neutrals should acknowledge the right
of Germany to murder neutrals any
where on the high seas. Thus has
the Wilson administration kept us out
of war!

WHAT CONSTITUTES REAL
SAVING

Suppose farmer, with 800 acres of
well improved land, should conclude
to reduce expenses and should turn
his property over to a manager who
promises to exceed anything in the
way of economy that any sane man
ever heard of. Suppose this manager
should begin saving by letting the
place go to rack and ruin. When the
fence needed repairing at cost of
500 he said: Nothing doing.
will save the owner that 500. 1.-THE
weu eurbing began to give way, let
ing the windmill lop out of plumb,
but the manager Saved the owner
a $50 repair bill. Farm machinery
needed repairs, but in the name of
economy the manager let things go
and saved another 500 for the boss.
The orchard needed pruning and
spraying, but the cost of this work is
saved, = in the effort of wild-eyed
reformer to make good mis- promises
to run that farm and save a lot of
money. With the fence out of repair
stock got in and destroyed lot of the
crop, failure to repair The we'll caused
the windmill to settle and topple
over failure to prune and spray the
orchard produced worthless crop of
fruit. Failure to repair stall in
the barn made it possible for val
liable mare to cripple herself SO she
had to be killed.
But the manager had saved the
farmer several hundred dollars. And
IL cost that farmer several times that
saving to undo tae damage that
lesllteu from such fooiishness.
But the people of Idaho are guilty
of exactly this sort of foolishness.
Nose Alexander imaginary saving
of a million dollars a year to tn,
people, was. not only never saved, but
his efforts, resulted in the vetolng OF
many needed and Legitimate appro-
priations, have cost the people much,
and will. before we get rid of Alex
ander, cost this state many millions.
There are certain legitimate costs
of state government, just as there is
Oh farm or In a store. But is it
saving dollar when the saving of
today becomes loss of tomorrow?

John j. Fitzgerald, gentleman
who bears the same relation to real
lawyer that near-beer does to the
genuine article, is aspiring for the
nomination of probate judge on the
republican ticket in Idaho county.
Fitzgerald blowed into Clearwater
county some two years ago, his head
swathed in a bandage where somebody
had delivered the goods, probably as
fee for one of his dirty tricks, and
opened an Office under the guise that
he was lawyer. He found con-
genial company with the Blake gang,
did their dirty work for them for a
time fell down and was thrown over
board because he didn't know enough
law to attach an old automobile, was
drunk when he could get the goods,
made hi:.eslf as obnoxious to the
community as possible, and, finally
petering out, moved to Kooskia where
he isItoday. If the people elect this
fellow probate judge of Idaho county,
placing him in the responsible posi-
tion of administering the estates of
the deceased, God pity the widows and
orphans.
