Gazette Vents
Spleen On Moran
FALSE ATTACK ON COMMISSIONERS
Uses Dirty Political Methods In Desperate En-
deavOr To Bolster Losing Cause

In the last issue of the Gazette
the editor comes out with a dirty
attack on the board of county
commissioner and Chairman j.
r. Moran in particular. The
article is false and misleading
throughout and will have no ef-
feet except to show the personal
animosity of the editor and to af-
ford him a means Of working off
the accumulated bile which is
clogging his system.
In the first place, the commits
sioners did not notify the city
authorities that the county would
not maintain the bridge across
the st. Maries river, but only that
portion of the approach which is
in the city. This action was
taken after the courts had decid-
ed in a similar case that the
county had no authority to spend
money on a bridge within the
city limits. At the same time
the commissioners proposed a
friendly suit with the city to test
the matter.
The Gazette says: "As a board
the present commissioners have
allowed one man to dictate what
should or should not be done and
he is opposed to anything that
will help any other district in the
county than that in which he re-
sides" That statement is abso-
lutely false in every particular as
the editor of the Gazette well
knew The fact about the case
is that not a dollar Of the coun-
tvs money has gone to Plum
mer, Mr.. Moran's home town.
Neither Mr.. Moran nor the
commissioners as a whole have
ever shown that community any
special favors. Neither has the
board Disseminated against st
Maries in a single instance. L
there has been any favoritisn
shown it has been to st. Maries
If work was TO be done or ar.
ticles to be furnished the coun-
ty st. Maries has always beer
given the preference.
The people of this city, ant
, especially those residing in Riv

GIVE THE PLUMMER
CANDIDATE A BOOST

J. p. Mathews, democratic
candidate for probate julge, was
in the city Thursday in the in
terests of his candidacy and stat
ed that his prospects of election
are exceedingly bright.
Mr.. Mathews obtained his ed
ucation at the University of Wis
consin and is a young lawyer of
energy and ability. He is able,
willing and a conscientious
worker and has been very sue
cessful in his profession. He
has lived in Plummer since COM
ing to this state and stands ex-
ceedingly high in that community
as we'll as everywhere else where
he is known. Plummer asked
for his nomination and he is
the only candidate on either tick
ct from the western part of the
county with the exception of the
candidate for commissioner from
that district.
The people of that section fee
that it is only fair to them tha
they be represented in the cOun-
ty Offices and ask the people o.
this city to be fair and just anC
support Mr.. Mathews as the onl,
candidate from the western par
Of the county.
Mr.. Mathews is a man of ex.
cellent habits. He stands fol
an honest, fair and fearless ad
ministration Of the liquor law
of the state and a vote for hin
will be a vote for good govern
ment, efficiency and justice an
fairness to all. His election
will do much to remove tn
feeling of distrust against ST
Maries, the feeling that the peo
lple of this city consider Benewa
county was created solely for tn
benefit Of st. Maries, which no,
exists in the western part of tn
county.

chances by replacing them with
others whom you do not know
and whose ability in that particu-
lar line you know nothing about?
The only real argument that a
republican candidate can advance
against one Of the present officers
who are seeking election is that
he, the republican, wants the Of
flee, possibly needs the salary
This argument should have nc
weight. If a man has not suf-
ilcient ability to support himself
in his present business or pro-
fession he certainly has a great
deal of assurance to ask the pub
lie to support him by giving him
"a public office.
The taxpayers Of the county
could better afford to grant such
a person a pension rather than
take the chance of electins hin.
to public office. The coGnty
should be run on business rrin-
ciples and the ability and qualiIi-
cations of the candidate should
be the only consideration in vOt-
ing for county officers.

Two important
Amendments
WILL Be ON A SEPARATE BALLOT
SeCOnd Amendment Not In Interest OF People
Should Be Defeated

Voters should not forget that
there are two amendments to the
constitution to be voted on at
the election Tuesday. They are
on a separate ballot on pink
paper and these ballots will be
givon to the voter at the same
time he receives his other ballot.
The first amendment on the
ballot is the one prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intOxi-
eating liquors in this state.
We now have a strong prohibi-
tion law on the statute books but
this law is subject to repeal by
any legislature whereas if the
amendment carries it will make
prohibition permanent and take
the question out of politics for
ever.
The second amendment, if it
carries, will permit the sale of a
much greater amount of state
land each year. 1t is being
openly charged that the submit
ting Of this amendment to the
people is a part of a scheme to
permit the large sheep interests
in the southern part of the state
&C. buy up large tracts of state
land. also to permit power COM
panies to secure power sites from
the state at a nominal cost and
to permit the lumber companies
to secure the timber lands of the
state. In other words it has
been charged that the passage of
the amendment will be a step to-
ward permitting the large cor
porations to obtain control OF
the state resources and it should
be voted down.

school children, especially to
reach the city; although the city
authorities refused to take any
action in regard to that portion
of the walk in the city, the COM
missioners took action. They
made that part of the walk out
side of the city limits a county
highway and repaired the foot
bridge across the st. Maries
river and the walk, thus giving
all of those residing east of the
st. Maries river a direct route to
the city.
Does this look as though the
commissioners and Mr.. Moran
Disseminated against st. Maries
and in favor of Plummer? Is
the new bridge at st. Joe being
built for the benefit Of Plum
ner? Was the work that was
done on the Helrs Gulch road
done for the benefit of Plummer
How about the FernwoOd-Clarkia
road or the rest of the 80 miles
of new road and i75 miles of
road that has been improved
throughout the county, not a
mile of which is in Mr.. Moran's $
community? Does this record
look as though he was "favoring
the section in which we was the
most interested flnancially?"
Mr.. Moran, and the other com
missioners, have made a record
of which they may we'll be proud
and no unwarranted, false, in
sinuating attack of the Gazette
will affect the feeling of the tax
payers toward them. The only
thing the attack will do is tC
show the small caliber of tn,
chairman of the republican
county central committee anC
the desperate means he is willing
to resort to in order to bolster
up his cause.

National Aid
For Highways
IDAHO WILL GET OVER $lOO,OOO
In Addition To This A Large Sum Is To Be Ex-
pended On Roads In National Forests

Roscoe Haines, supervisor of
the st. Joe National Forest, has
received a communication from
the Forestry Department giving
the amount of the appropriation
under the Good Roads bill signed
by the president in July, that has
been apportioned to Idaho for
this year The amount is SiO8,-
OiO.
Under the provisions of the bill
this money is to be used in max
ing permanent trunk line roads
and will be expended under the
direction of the state highway
commission, with the advisory
supervision of the National Onice
of Public Roads.
Before this money is available
the state must appropriate an
equal amount which will make
$4,000 available for state roads
during the coming year. Tho
state highway commission will
designate where this money is to
be used and the commission has
already decided that the greater
part of the money is TO be used
on the North and South Highway
connecting the southern part Of
the state with Lewiston.
In addition to the money ap-
prOpriated in the general good
roads bill the national govern
ment has made an appropriation
OF St,000,000 per year for the
next ten years for the purpose of
building permanent roads in the
national forests. These roads
are TO be trunk lines and will
connect with county and state
trunk line roads.
This amount has not yet been
appOrtioned but will be divided
among the different national for
ests in proportion to their ex-
tent and resources and it is esti-
mated that the amount to be al
lotted will be approximately ter
per cent of the resources. In
estimating the resources of a
national forest the cash value OF
the forest is taken at present
market prices.
The capitalization Of the st
Joe National Forest is about 49,
100000. This is based on dat;
furnished by the forestry service
last spring and the Office is bus!
now checking up this data ant
supplying new. If the appor.
,tionment is made on this valua
tion it would give the st. 10,

either for he is 81 He is a great, big

man, not nervous and a man who does
not believe that warfare is a matter of
strategies so much as doing the right
thing at the right time. He makes
war by philosophy rather than by STRAIT,
egg. Nivelle is more the hero of Yer,
dun than Petain. He took hold after
the first month and conducted the su-
perb defense and then along in Octo-
Der retook in five days without any loss
of life what the Germans with best
picked troops under the Crown Prince

cost of at least half a. million men.

shorter opinions, earlier trials, and a

These are some Of the troubles about

they have a right to talk, and we law.

This confirms the opinion so often
expressed by the Caledonian that oul
courts should be recognized and fewer
judges maintained in Vermont. The
vcrbosity of our judges in writing an
opinion or delivering charge to a
jury is ridiculous Terse. clear state
ments would not require the time and
would be much more effective and
satisfactory than the voluminous docu
ments turned out in the form of an
