A bomb hit the republican
strongholds Tuesday when L. Roy
Slater, former chairman of the
progressive party in this state,
who upon his return from Chicago
advised all progressives to vote
for Chas. E. Hughes, resigned from
both county and state republican
executive committees and an
nounced his allegiance to Wilson.
This action upon the part of Mr..
Slater was due to his disappoint-
ment in Hughes, who has fallen
short Of his expectation.

committees of the democratic and
republican parties within this
county. He gave it as his opin-
ion that after residence in this
county of over twenty years he
had never observed a political con-
test such as at present being
waged freer from the usual abuse
and personalities than the present
and drawing the deadly parallel
between this condition and the
acrimonious debate 6and acidity
characterized in the so-called non
partisan judiciary contest now
holding the center of the stage, to
the latter's discredit. 1t goes
without saying that the gentle
mans remarks met with the
hearty approval of all present.
Unless the non-partisan feature
of our ballot in future elections
eliminates the undignified and un-
fortunate conditions that have
arisen in the present race for the
judiciary it can not be claimed
to be a success, or taken as for
ward step over the old style of
placing such candidates on the
ballot under their party designa-
ton.

Governor Listers speech in Col.
vile Saturday night revealed the
caliber of the man. He belongs
to the popgun statesmen class.
Even dyed-in-the-wool demo-
Gratis admit that Governor Listers
speech in Colville last Saturday
night was one of the dullest po-
htical speeches they ever had the
misfortune to hear
The above editorials appeared in
the Statesman-Index last week.
1t is evident that the prohibition
platform of governor Lister does
not please the Index and its
hackers, therefore we are not sur
prised to see the Index running
long articles in favor of the wet
candidate Mcbride, and editorial
ly calling attention to the dry
candidate as of the popgun class.
The reduction of the county's
bonded Indebtedness $4,000 dur
ing the last two years, and the re-
ductiOn of the debt of road dis
trict 2 $26, ,482, are features of the
work of p. H. Graham as county
commissioner, and are in them
selves sufficient arguments for his
reelection.
His predecessor, w. w. Palmer,
who is the candidate opposed to
him at this election, in his term
of office 1911-12 spent $40, sos road
money, reducing the district in
debtedness 1926, but making no
reduction in the county's bonded
Indebtedness. Mr.. Graham in his
last two years only spent $23,228
yet he was able to reduce his dis
trict Indebtedness to the amount
of 1869 Sept. |, and if all taxes
were paid his district would be
out of debt. Besides all this, the
county bonded Indebtedness has
been reduced $4,000.
With less money to spend, he
has at the same time reduced the
Indebtedness more than any pre-
vious county commissioner. He
has kept the road up during this
time, although not nearly as well
as he would have liked, but he has
put his district in a condition
where roads may now be built,
whereas when he took Office it
seemed impossible to build any
roads as there was no money in
sight for building.
Sometimes people blame COM
missioner for not building roads
in their locality. In Mr.. Ora
hams term of office, he was able
to accomplish considerable in road
building by securing the coopera-
ton of the public, and he has
saved every taxpayer in his dis
trict considerable money yearly
by cutting down the debt. The
sum of $2,400 a year will go a
good ways in building roads, and
that was what this district was
paying in interest alone when Mr..
Graham took office. That sum
will no longer be paid, as the debt
is practically wiped out, and the
man who can accomplish such a
thing and yet hold down the tax
levy, is a man worth retaining in

Saturday, Oct. %, has been set
aside as Wilson Day, to be OBJ
served by the people of this coun-
try as a day upon which they will
pay their respects to the president
of the United States, and show
their appreciation of the great
public service he has rendered his
country. President Wilson is to
send a message to his countrymen
which is to be read in every city,
town and hamlet. Buildings and
homes will display the flag, and a
general recognition will be given
in honor of the man who has
faithfully and patiently guided
this nation through perilous times,
and kept us out of war in spite of
the protests of those foreign coun-
tries and selfish Americans who
for individual profit desired to see
the United States take up arms in
the European conflict.

and conventions and land open
ings and everything else to go to
Spokane, thus bringing more
money to the railroads which cen
ter in Spokane, and more revenue
to the big stores which pay high
rents on Riverside, and more pa
tronage to the restaurants and
hotels of the city where flowers
and music abound, but where
grub is scarce.
This year Spokane interests
were even able to swing our coun-
ty teachers institute their way,
by promising that the direct cost
to the institute fund would be a
hundred dollars less. With 100
school districts in the county en-
ploying 200 teachers who are thus
obliged to go to Spokane for the
week, the Great Northern will be
able to take in an average of $3.50
per teacher or $780, and the Spo-
kane hotels. restaurants, stores,
etc, will be able to get at least
$4,000 more from the 200 teachers.
Spokane must be given credit
for her cleverness in being able
to work suckers in the outlying
country, but Stevens county bust
ness interests are not showing amy
particular amount of acumen III
. allowing the county school sys-
tenn to become the medium o. an
exchange whereby 500 is gained
and $4,7OO is lost.
This same matter came up dur
ing the term of Daisy Hard in
about 1908. She demurred at the
plan, but as Pend Oreille county
was then a part Of Stevens county
and teachers from there all had to
go through Spokane to come to
Colville, she was prevailed upon
to hold the institute in joint ses-
sion with the state association at
Spokane. But the loss of prestige.
to this county, the lack of any
cohesive work among this county s
teachers, and the accompanying
expenditure of this county s
money in some other county,
taught her the lesson of keeping
home industries at home, and she
then vowed that never again
would this county's institute 60
outside it's borders. And through
the remainder of her term, and
through the terms of her two sue
cessors A. D. Foster and Miss
Boardman, Stevens county insti-
tutes were held in Stevens county.
Pleas were made to the present
county superintendent to maintaln
this county's standing in its in
stitute work, to let the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce build up
Spokane with it's own money, and
to permit the people who pay for
the institute to have the institute
where they live. But no result
was obtained, and next week our
teachers will be required to go to
Spokane. 1t is rather discour-
aging for those who have gwen
the best years of their lives f"
build up this county, to see its
recognized institutions fall into
hands unappreciative of their
worth to the county, and it seems
that only the most watchful care
on the part Of our citizens can
ever hope to maintain the things
which have already been secured.
Several well known men were
discussing the political situation
the other day, when one called
attention to the manner in which
the campaign is being conducted
on behalf of the leaders and the

There will be no teachers in
stitute in Stevens county this year,
the county superintendent OF
schools having pledged that the
teachers of the county shall spend
their time and money next week
in the great metropolis Of Spo.
kane in a joint institute with Spo-
kane county.
This means that the fathers and
mothers and those generally in
terested in school work can also
follow the crowd away from home
if they wish to hear any of the
institute speakers or gain any idea
of the work of the institute.
For years the effort Of Spokane
has been to get all the money
possible from the outlying terri
tory, and to get all the meetings

Clifford Pinchot, the man who
aided in tying up the vast re-
sources of the west so that the
present generations could -ot
benefit from their development,
is out for Hughes, and it is con-
fidentially reported that he will
be the secretary of the interior
under Hughes if the Wall street
man can succeed in being elected.
This would mean a renewal OF
the burdensome conditions which
met the west in former republican
administrations, when the east
tried to grab the public lands and
hold them for the benefit of the
entire country, instead of permit
ting the people who settled and
developed the west to enjoy
small part of the fruits of their
efforts. The q canyon project in
Pend Oreille county will go glim-
mering under such hands, and
Stevens county can take a back
seat again with it's wonderful re-
sources and water power which
ought to be developed, and which
can be developed under the demo-
cratic plans which are supported
by Senator Turner and Congress-
man Dill.

Governor Lister spoke before a
crowded house Saturday night at
the Colville theater, many people
standing throughout the speech,
and 20 or more sitting on the
stage. He was introduced by
John B. Slater, who served with
him on the board of control under
the administration of Governor
John R. Rogers.
Governor Lister devoted a short
time to national politics, but spent
the greater part of the hour and
a half in telling of state matters,
and his work of trying to reduce
expenditures, and build up the
character of the state s many edu-
cational, charitable and penal in
stitutions. The latter part of his
remarks were relative to the two
liquor bills which will be voted
at the general election. He
showed the benefits of the pro-
hibitory law now in force, and
contrasted present conditions with
thoses which would ensue should
the brewery and hotel bills be
passed
The campaign for governor is
being partly waged over the liquor
question, Governor Lister having
always been on the dry side, and
his opponent being listed with the
vets.

Banks of Brandywine
By y. 5. HiggIns.

There is no place upon this earth,
On which the sun does shine,
No place so full OF happiness,
When loving hearts entwine,
No place where pleasure reigns SUI
preme
Over hills and green ravine,
As that place in little Delaware,
The banks Of Brandywine.
Here Is where nature first unrobed.
And made her grand display;
Here is where Cupid keeps his darts,
And with them often plays:
Where little rills winding down the
hills.
And through the green ravine.
In that flowery dell at Wilmington,
The banks OF Brandywine
Here from the base OF giant rocks,
Flows streamlets 20 the brink,
Where Neptune loves 20 wander.
To take bis nectar drink.
His daughters. with their brush and
combs
On slippery rocks recllne:
And daisies dancing over the hills,
On the banks OF Brandywine.
There are many spots OF beauty.
On Afric's golden sand.
And mapv more are often seen.
On midas coral strand;
There>are many scenes Of grandeur.
Along the River Rhine.
But they don't compare with the
scenes SO dear
on the hanks Of Brandywine.
Way down I'm Madagascar.
Where the Indian Ocean flows.
Where tropic fruits and spicy roots
And flowers OF beauty srow;
Where little streams and bright sun
beams
In beauty love 70 shine;
But yet It's not that darling spot.
The banks of Brandywine.
have now left on my wandering
And found my native shore,
7 found The hanks Of Brandywine.
And will never leave u more.
Old SOL peeped through the foliage.
Where nature does combine.
And gave grandeur to the scenery,
On the banks Of Brandywine.
There Is lofty structure.
That spans the rocky shore:
us on the b. and O. Railroad.
That halls from Baltimore.
You MAY look down from its lofty
height
And see the fishes shine:
AS they wander among the many
rocks.
In the limpid Brandywine.
The water-wheels and old mill-dams
May hush their useless roar,
The iron horse will puff and blow,
And sound from shore to shore.
The iron path is now complete.
And tho summer sun does shine.
Twill facilitate advantages
To visit the Brandywine.
Now spring-time has come and flow
ers bloom,
And Nature loves 10 smile.
And winters blast and SHOWS have
passed.
And winter leaves Tor awhile.
And birds with warbling music
And plumage brightly shine,
You may wander along the rocky
shore.

Mount Pleasant. July 5.-The heroic
devotion Of group of men who
worked desperately to the final hour
in the face of almost certain defeat,
backed by the co operation of the
Mount Pleasant Commercial Club,
closed last evening Iowa Wesleyan's
great campaign for one-half million
dollars, the most intensive educational
enterprise ever attempted in the west.
AS late as o'clock there seemed abb
solutely no hope Of victory, but early
In the evening literally a flood of re-
ports by telegram and telephone be-
gan pouring into headquarters, coming
from the men in the field who were
capitalizing the fleeing moments.
Slowly the huge balance was reduced,
by midnight it was seen that balance
Of roundly $4,000 would be LETT. The
members of the executive committee Of
the Mount Pleasant Commercial Club
rather than see that great campaign
fail for lack of time met in hurried
session and made rf1e proposal to the
board Of trustees that they underwrite
the balance of $4,000, along with their
previous pledge Of $4,000; to make the
complete half million When the an
nouncement was made pandemonium
broke loose in the headquarters. The
men who had been working day and
night for weeks, who had held onto the
job when nothing but disaster could be
