The Orofno Tribune will please
take notice that we buried those hides
alright, and incidentally hung Post
Master Blake's and /. R. Grow s
hides on the fence. The incident
shows the malice and impudence and
nerve of the gang, when they can find
material for campaign thunder in a
deal so dirty as that pulled off by
Post Master Blake in refusing to ac-
cept parcel post packages plainly
within the law and manifestly mail
able. Here's betting that the Orofino
Tribune will never again refer to
those hides. Having been exposed in
defending meanness on the part of
one of the democratic bosses, the Tri-
bune Editor does not dare to apol-
igize. He is too much Of coward.
1t requires manhood to admit an error
and right wrong. l. R. Crow
hasn't an ounce of either. He lied
about Assessor Hinckey, but will per-
nit his misrepresentation go uncor-
rected, regardless of how much wrong
it may do Mr.. Hinckey. Then think
of calling others character assas-
sins -

Saying a sleeps tail is leg does
not make fve-legged sheep. Saying
Assessor Hinckley has favored timber
company property is not proof. Only
by comparison, by going into the en-
tire property valuations of the state,
comparing class with class, can one
arrive at an intelligent conclusion
The records are all in favor of Mr..
Hinckley, and show that the Orofino
Tribune is just making noise. AS
matter of fact Mr.. Hinckley is
favoring the farmer as compared with
the record of Assessor P. H. Bake,
and has kept timDer values at the top
of the list in all of Idaho. Only one
other county is as high as Mr.. Hinck-
ley. On the other hard Mr.. Hinckley
has pushed his agricultural values
lower than other counties. Watch
for verification of this statement.
We would call attention to the fact
that this is only assertion. Demand
proof. Accept nothing that is not
proven. The Republican expects
to prove every statement it makes,
and asks the people to accept nothing
that is not substantiated. Apply this
test all the way down the line. De-
mand it of the other side.

After all, the large republican
vote at the primary may not be en-
tirely attributable to the "pernicious
activity of our opponents. 1t takes
real nerve to walk into Clearwater
county primary these days and ask for
a democratic ticket. Shades of Pat
and Jim and Blair! Most awful
spectres of AL Harper, Frank Sisk
and Roy Leeper. Spookey phantoms
of the late Zelenka, Torgerson and l.

still!

Emmett Index: Some wise party
recently discovered that it was un-
healthy for two people to occupy the
same bed. Later another discovered
that it was unsafe to ride in a car
when other people attend. An as
ISOLATION of physicians decided that
kiss was to attempt death in all
manner of hideous diseases. The
very latest is the discovery of
French scientist that the practice of
handshaking is a prolific source of
Speeding disease. If things keep up
it will be unhealthy to be buried in
the same graveyard with other people.

Roy Leeper ought to make as good
sheriff at Elk River. And he will.
He stood for bootlegging, houses of
prostitution, and violation of law.
Yet he took an oath to respect and en-
force the law. He is running for as
SCISSOR on platform that pledges an
equally dishonest policy as county as
SCISSOR. He is insulting the people by
assuming that dishonest and un-
equal assessment of property is what
the people want.

Do the people appreciate the full
import of certain issues raised by the
Orofino Tribune? Do the people APP
preciate the fact that the Orofino
Tribune is proposing that the people
pay those Nease warrants, amounting
to $44, 900 and interest, sum aggre-
eating more than $4,000? Are the
people ready to back up, drop this
case if it is appealed, and settle with
Nease? Is that the deal? Is that
what the people want? That is what
the Orofino Tribune proposes. Where
does Blevins, Wilson and Datmer,
democratic candidates for county COM
missioners, stand? Hadn the peo-
pie better find out? Insist that these
men come out publicly and declare
themselves.
1t is proposed that the people drop
the Nease suit and pay the bill
Since it is only a little matter of
about $4,000 and will please Jim
Blake, why not, as the Orofno Tri-
hume suggest, sell the family COW and
pay for worthless cruise? Did
anybody ever hear of such an absurd
proposition?

SLURRING THE M. E. CHURCH.

oLO RRlN1 I1E WI. T.. vi " NH.
Every member of church will
resent the efforts of the Weippe
Herald to slur the M. E. church of
Orofino. The Methodist church, one
of the largest in numbers, ard one of
the greatest in point of Christian
service, requires period of probation
from all who apply for membership.
The Weippe Herald slurringly refers
to this church practice as taking one
on six months suspicion" County
Attorney Smith transferred his mem
bersip from one M. E. church to the
Orofino M. E. church and the Weippe
Herald slurs the church, making light
of its forms and requirements for adj
mission, then stoops to the depth of
lowdown vulgarity and adds 1--WE
understand that County Attorney
Smith recently joined the church for
political sake, pending good behavior.
The period however may be extended
for about two years or longer. "
Even the church must be dragged
into the mire and slurred, it's GUS
toms banded about as subjects for
puns and jokes by the low and vulgar
who have no more respect for sacred
things than has a hog for civic pride.
Church people, regardless of denom-
ination, regardless of party affilia-
tions, regardless of everything, will
resent with every ounce of their being
the cowardly, vulgar and brutal in
suits of the Weippe Herald. What
is the object of all this? Why should
the private life of any citizen be as
sailed without cause? County At
torney Smith is gentleman, who has
attended to his own business, and who
has never so much as said one word
rejecting on the editor of the Weippe
Herald? Without any other cause
except that T. B. West wants to be
county attorney, place Mr.. Smith
has filled with credit and profit to the
entire county, he ISLANDERS and lipels
County Attorney Smith, lies about
him, publishes false and unwarranted
insinuations about his family affairs,
and caps the climax by assailing the
mans religion and his church, and
charging, without cause or reason,
that Mr.. Smith is unworthy and unfit
for membership in the church.

how he will proceed, under the law,
to violate the law-if he happens to
be elected. But why waste time ?
Mr.. Leeper will be the worst beaten

means he will be defeated by at least

LEEPER LACKS BACKBONE.

If Roy Leeper, aspirant for county
assessor, can, as he proposes, reduce
the taxes of the farmer and the mer-
chant forty per cent, and increase
the valuations Of the timber COM
panies 81, 900, 900 he can eliminate the
taxes of the farmer and business man
absolutely, and make timber owners
pay it all. We are, therefore, aston
ished at the modesty of Mr.. Leeper.
He lacks nerve. He is afraid to come
out and stand for us common people.
We are in favor of lacing it to corpor-
ations to the limit, and are disap-
pointed that Mr.. Leeper weakens.
Why can he not do as we'll as assessor
as he did enforcing the law during
the two years he was deputy sheriff at
Elk River? If he is only going to re-
duce us common people forty per cent
and raise timber companies $4 900, 600,
or about 80 per cent, we fear for
Mr.. Leeper's political reputation.
Isn't it likely the people will become
suspicious that Mr.. Leeper is standing
in with timber barons? We want a
man who is afraid to go the limit.
We want an assessor who will go
after timber companies like Roy
Leeper went after Elk River bootleg
gers and prostitutes. We want an
assessor with backbone, one with a
record for delivering the goods. This
forty per cent reduction of our taxes
makes us tired. We want hundred
per cent reduction. We are opposed
to any taxes for the common people
when an assessor with backbone could
make the timber companies pay it all.

how this running offices for nothing,
