mud SINGING"

There is nothing quite so ancient
as the DIRTY Dora" comparison un-
less it is an attempt to down the
truth by yelling "thief" and liar"
The illusions made by the Herald
last week to some of the democratic
office-seekers seems to have hit the
spot and their only defens to to
throw up their hands in holy horror
and call it mud singing
Of course the Times does not con-
slider for minute that it could have
started anything in the way of mud
singing" in its issue of September
28th. It's insinuations against the
management of the Herald were
sweet little love pats.
The Herald has not started a
mud singing" contest but it is
certainly able to sling the truth
pretty freely and will not hesitate
to do so in the future as the occa-
sion demands.
The references made by the Her.
aid to which the Times takes ex-
ceptions are based upon actual facts
and conditions which exist or have
existed in Boundary county and
about which the voters are entitled
to full information.
We have claimed and still main
tain that the only motive that
Messrs. Stanley, leighton, Flood e.
Co., have in asking for a debate
on national issues is to kick up a
dust which will becloud the failure
of the democrats in their county
administration.
The republicans of our county and
state are not worrying about national
issues as they will no doubt be taken
care of by men of national reputa-
ton who are qualified to discuss
these great subjects intelligently.
If our democratic orators desire
to render a real service and put
themselves in right with the voters
of the county they can do nothing
better than confine themselves to the
subjects the Herald has suggested
and which have been labeled mud
singing" by the democratic organ.
We suggest to the Times that for
the information of the voters they
publish a detailed list of expenses
of the county attorneys office; that
it enlighten the taxpayers concerning
how much it costs them per annum
for "painstaking courtesy and po-
likeness" and that it print a list
of persons to whom alcohol permit:

GditoriaIIy Speaking
Guilty or Not Guilty"

A man is innocent until he is
proven guilty beyond reasonable
doubt.
If j. V. Stanley, in whom Boomers
Ferry citizens have imposed the
highest confidence and who has held
the most honored office in the coun-
ty and who has performed the duties
of a minister of the Gospel for the
past four years in this community, is
guilty of the crime with which he
is charged, he is the most heinous
monster possible to imagine. No
penalty is too great to be imposed
There can be no extenuating cri-
cumstances. The life of an inno-
cent young girl is ruined. The hopes
of her family and friends have been
blasted.
On the other hand, if he is in
nocent a more dastardly crime has
been committed. The character of
an honored citizen has been hope
lessly smirched. The happiness of
his family has been beclouded. He
has no recourse. All he can hope
for is the clearance of any stain
from his good name.
What shall we do?
Withhold judgment until after the
case has been in the hands of a
jury of twelve good men, tried and
true.
And that trial should be a speedy
one. There should be no hesitation
on the part of the county official.
They are sworn to their duty. If
Mr.. Stanley is innocent he will be
the first to demand an immediate
trial His friends and associates
have the right to demand that they
be kept in no unnecessary suspense.
The citizens of this county have a
similar right. The voters of the
state have the same right. If he
is guilty justice demands that he
pay the penalty and this the sooner
the better.

Reports of Election Wagers

At this stage of the national cam
paign the conservative voter does
not hasten to predict who will be
the next president of the United
States.
In large eastern cities straw votes
are being held and in all the instanc-
es we have thus far heard of the
result was favorable to Hughes.
Already we hear of election betting
and the reports come from the east
that the wagers made favor Hughes
1t is claimed that in New York there
is two to one money which has not
been taken. In other eastern states
it is reported that the betting is or
the basis of ten to seven that Hughes
will be elected.
A well-known railroad conductor
recently posted 500 in this city
even money, on Hughes. No single
person has yet accepted and only
$50 could be raised in a pool.

WOULD SECURE A DIVORCE
Former Bonners Ferry Girl in Di-
vorce Suit at Coeurd Alene City.

Divorce proceedings were insti-
tuted in the district court last week
in Occur d'Alene City by Mrs. John
J. Wright, nee Miss Thelma Behr,
II years old, to secure a separation
from John J. Wright, who is now
held in California by federal author
tiles on a charge of violation of
the Mann act. Temporary alimony
of 500 a month and the right to
resume her maiden name is asked
by the plaintiff.
The complaint alleges that the
couple were married on August 2,
and that since that time the bride
has been with the defendant only
twice, once for a short time in the
forenoon of the day after the mar
riage, and a second time during the
afternoon of August 10. On the latter
occasion, it is alleged, the defendant
attempted to compel the plaintiff to
permit the annulment of the mar
riage in consideration of $3.50 to be
paid in installments.
1t is alleged that the defendant
left Occur d'Alene on August 10,
and has not since returned to his
lawful wife. The complaint states
that the plaintiff has received the
total of So from her husband, this
amount having been given her on
August 10. The complaint alleges
that the defendant is now held on
the white slave charge in connection
with his alleged transportation of
Dagna Larson of Gibbs for immoral
purposes.
The plaintiff asks that the court
enjoin Wright from selling or assign
ing any further interest in the es-
tate of his father, NJ. d. Wright, de-
ceased, and that w. F. McNaughton,
be required to show cause why he
should not divulge the interest of
Wright in his fathers estate. 1t is
also asked that Mr.. McNaughton
be ordered not to accept or recognize
any encumbrance on the estate made
by Wright during the pending &C.
ton.
A motion for an order from the
court requiring Wright to pay $10C
for the immediate needs of the plain
tiff, 5000 for attorneys fees anc
500 for temporary alimony was also
filed yesterday afternoon.

Walker and Kent Would
Be Able Legislators

it a point to keep posted on the
public affairs OF his district and
state. Mr.. Kent has been in init
mate touch with the legislature and
few years ago spent about two
months in Boise during the sessions
of the legislature and attended prac-
tically every session while he was
working with w. P. Mahoney in the
interests of county division. Mr..
Kent understands what legislation is
needed to better the condition of
the working man, what laws should
be passed for the benefit of the
mining men, he knows the needs of
the business man, the farmer and
the lumberman. Both he and Mr..
Walker can be depended upon to use
their knowledge and their influence
to bring about the passage of good
laws at the next session OF the
legislature.
There seems to be every indication
that the next administration in Idaho
will be entirely republican. We feel
that it would be to the best interests
Of the people of Idaho to place
large republican majority in the next
legislature. We are sure that no
voter of Boundary county will ever
have reason to regret having cast
their vote for w. S. Walker for
state senator and A. j. Kent for
state representative.

The republicans of Boundary coun-
ty have a strong legislative ticket
w. S. Walker for state senator and
A. ]. Kent for state representative.
These two men have been well
chosen, they are competent, they
have the confidence of the people
and they have experience which will
aid them greatly at Boise in secur-
ing the passage of conservative
legislation.
Both have come out flat-footed in
favor of prohibition; they favor
progressive legislation which will
tend to give the people of Idaho a
firmer control of the government
and they will work for legislation
which will help to bring about the
development of the natural resources
of our county and state.
Messrs. Walker and Kent have
lived in this district many years
They are familiar with the wants
and needs of the people. Both have
had ample experience in the va
rious walks of life which will enable
them to carefully pass on the variou:
kinds of laws which will surely
come up for consideration at the
next session of the legislature. Mr.
Walker has carefully followed the
doings of the state legislature fol
many years. He is naturally ;
well-read man and has always made

A MUSICAL TREAT

That Boomers Ferry people will
have an opportunity on the evening
of October 9 to hear Joseph Kekuku,
originator of the celebrated steel
method of guitar playing is a most
pleasing announcement to those who
appreciate Hawaiian music. Mr..
Kekuku is conceded to be the worlds
greatest solo guitarist. He is the
genius of that seductive slurring of
the notes as they softly swirl an
incense from the strings.
There is an indescribable charm
and sweet fascination about Hawaii
an music which the world is striving
to emulate. No American stringed
instrument artist can initiate that
peculiar subtlety of expression Sc
easy for the Hawaiian on both ma
tive and international instruments
Kekukus Hawaiian Quintet is com
posed of men who are among the
foremost interpreters of the wonder
full music of the South Sea islands
The members are drawn from the
famous Toots Paka, Alisky, and or
iginal Bird of Paradise companies
1t is a brilliant ensemble of harI
guitar, guitar, ukelele and taro
patch players.
Mr.. Kekuku intersperses numerous
American melodies in his programs
and thus charms his audiences will
music of two nations.

How Catarrh is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflama-
ton of the mucus membrane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease that
is seldom cured and that may prove
life's burden. Many persons who
have this loathsome disease will re-
member having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A
little forethought, a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable every
where.

MISREPRESENTATION

Our democratic friends across the
street persist in their delusion con-
corning the Adamson bill. Such
persistence can be attributed to
either wanton ignorance or inten-
tional misrepresentation. 1t is prob
ably true that the democrats would
purposely like to place Hughes in a
false light before such voters as
may not be acquainted with the
facts.
The Herald does not deny that
Hughes has assailed the Adamson
bill, but what in the name of COM
mon sense has the Adamson bill to
do with an eight-hour working day?
Ask the railway men?
They have told us and they will
tell our democratic critics that the
members of the various railway
brotherhoods do not and never asked
for a provision which would compel
the railways to put on more crews.
The railway men frankly admit they
are given a % per cent increase in
wages. They do not work shorter
hours and furthermore they have
the option of taking their pay on
the mileage basis or on the hour
basis which is fact the Times has
not yet comprehended.
The Times in no part of its ar
ticle on the subject gives any proof
that Hughes is against an eight
hour day. We are content to let
the matter rest with our readers
whether or not the Herald or the
Times has given the true version
of Mr.. Hughes attitude and whether
or not the Herald or the Times state
ments establishes the intent and
purpose of the Adamson bill.
The Adamson bill merely estab-
lished a basis of reckoning of the
recompense to be allowed railway
men engaged in the operation Of
railway trains in interstate com
merce. 1t states that they shall re
ceive pro rata pay for work in ex
cess of eight hours. There is no
thing in the bill that establishes It.;
limited day of eight working hours
There is not a shadow of a basis
for such an argument.
The theory of the "eight-hou
day" is a working day absorbing
smaller amount of the working
mans time and thereby enabling hin
to enjoy greater leisure and rest
Wherever such laws have been en-
acted they have absolutely prohib
tied the employment of labor TO
longer periods than eight hours, o
if overtime is allowed it is penal
lied by the payment of increase,
wages.
Does the Adamson bill provide TO
either of these restrictions 1t doe
not. There is nothing to proven
the trainmen from working the ful
16 hours now allowed under the law
already in force. The railways ar
not required to pay a penalty TO
work done over and above eigh
hours time. This is a sorry recog
milton of the principle of the SO
called "eight-hour day."
AS a matter Of fact the Adamso
bill is nothing more or less tina
a measuring stick to establish
higher rate of wages or in othe
words to provide that the same rat
formerly calculated upon for a tie
hours of work should prevail whe
the day is figured instead on
basis Of eight hours.
