For County Treasurer
JEROME A. BRADBURY

Daniel Frew, former Idaho county
citizen, who lived at Mt. Idaho and
Grangeville for many years and has
many friends among the old timers,
dropped into Grangeville last Saturday
night after an absence of IA years,
from Seattle where he has been locat
ed in business for the past quarter
century. He conducts farm mort
gage loan business and has placed hun
dreds of thousands of dollars on farms
in the west since being in business.
Mr.. Frew remained only several days,
leaving for the Coast Wednesday, but
while here enjoyed every minute of his
stay, meeting old friends and talking
over events of days long since passed.
He asked about bear Pete and sug-
gested there was still big demand ON
the Coast for bear hams, fresh, sailed
or otherwise.

HUGHES AND HUMAN WELFARE.

Time was when the main question
right on the tariff? That question has
lost none of it's importance but other
questions have taken very great impor-
lance. One of these is, what is he rec
ord and attitude of the candidate upon

fare? The voters are by way of be-
coming socioogists.
When Hughes was governor of New
York;
labor and made il a real power in the
state.
He secured the passage OF laws re-
strictlng the employment Of children
in factories, and prohibiting their en-
ployment IN certain kinds OF dangerous
trades.
He insisted upon The adequate in
spection of mercantile establishments,
so that the safety and protection OF
women might be greater.
He strengthened the regulations Of
employment agencies SO that the New
York law now offers the most ade-
quate protection the unemployed have
in any state.
He initiated the movement for work.

the first state to adopt the principle Of
compulsory compensation.
He protected the savings of the peo-
pie by thorough system OF banking

state by the abolition of race track
gambling.
In all these efforts Mr.. Hughes was
pioneer, building solidly as he went
The stability of his social measures

He signed bills curbing the loan

teeing a safe milk supply, protecting
sailors in New York harbors and in
boarding houses. He stood against
every attempt to weaken the law gov

Those are some OF the answers the
record of Hughes makes 10 the ques-

The fall skirt is a neat garment
which looks good deal like the spring
skirt, but costs more, owing to the
European war, which has caused a
great scarcity Of everything except
campaign bunk.
The fall skirt was gotten up last
February in the heart OF Paris. France,
and sent over here to be sold to
women who do not care to look like
any Of their neighbors. To the dull
ard Unparalleled eve Of man it is hard
to tell a new fall skirt of the 1917
twice in the early spring and discarded
after making the forrifying discovery
that it was three-quarters Of an inch
too long to be strictly au fait. There
is nothing more depressing than new
skirt which is only rs per cent au fait
and folds carelessly about both ankles,
instead Of fitting back rakishly and
binding the innocent bystander in
both eyes.
Great care has been taken, accord
ing to the fashion periodicals, to make
the Fall Skirt so long that 1t can be
worn to church with perfect propriety.
BY actual measurement it will reach
20 the top Of a twelve-inch boot, which
will prevent anybody from tripping on
il. In fact, it is estimated that it is
going to be harder to trip over one of
the new fall skirts than 1t is to escape
the strident voice of the cafe piano
player.
The fall skirt will be made of any
thing that costs more than it did last
winter. but will not be SuaTant ssd

Will the republicans Of Iowa stulify

wherefrom men view Harding and see
his utter unfitness for the office he
seeks. From the speakers desk. from
the floor of the house and from the pc

agree,
The church sees Harding unfit, men
who served with him in the house see
him thus. men who served with him
in the senate repudiate him, his own
church is defending a moral and po-
litical question against him, his pas

Is there any fetch of party regular

why temperance republicans should
not bolt Harding in defence Of the
party and the state?

the democratic parties, assembled on
the dry lawns of Iowa for o dry cause
COMMENT.
Now the facts are Hardings record
in the legislature for ten years has
been against temperance with but one
or two exceptions. We must think
then when we vote for him that he has
been suddenly converted. We haven't
got any more belief in that than the
vets who will vote for him. Dell Hun-
toon, the liquor champion, knows too
well Harding's pedigree to advise his
comrades to vote or work against him.
The facts are that Meredith has
made financial success Of an agri-
cultural paper with circulation OF
$4,000. and for eight years written
most remarkable and unanswerable ar
gument why the saloon should be
wiped off the map. Mark you he did
this before he ran for office. Harding
did his work after he got in office.
Harding spends $4,000 to get the nom
ination at the primary. Meredith
don't spend cent. Harding's great
est friends are the brewers. 1t is here
You find Meredith's greatest enemies.
Harding tries to slyly catch the vote of
the dry republican. Meredith willing
~ offers to lose the vote of the wet
democrat.
The publication of the absent and
not voting record of Harding in the
legislature tells no falsehoods. 1t tells
his attitude on liquor Its publication
will defeat him if Iowa is dry. a very
similar record of most scholarly and
wide-awake candidate for the legisla-
ture on the democratic platform in
Buchanan county is just what defeated
him. 1t was published and circulated
broadcast in the county 1t was not

In 1911, in location where the drain

GET BACK OF HIS RECORD.
[Scranton Journal.l
The Sioux City Journal is supporting
Harding. Wonder why. instead of in
sisting that republicans should support
Harding because he received the pri-
mary Endorsement, it doesn't come
right out and give him a clean bill Of
health? Does the Journal know that
Mr.. Harding's pastor and his college
president are telling the truth? The
Scranton Journal isn't trying to stir up
controversy with a paper which 1t
much admires. but after a careful
reading of the Sioux City papers edi-
torial page during this campaign the
above questions suggest themselves to
it's mind
SHOULD RETAIN COUNTY AGENT.
ICedar Rapids Gazette.l
Not only should Linn retain its
county agent but he should be made
regular employee Of the county SO that
he will not consider himself impelled
to devote greater attention to ind!Eidn-
ais who have been more prominent in
his support.
The county was fortunate in obtain
ing the services of A. G. Thurman, who
has been enthusiastic and active along
practical lines and who has the conf
| dence Of the farming community and
OF those other citizens who supported
| the inauguration of this progressive
| movement.
Linn cannot lay claim to first honors
as an agricultural county among the
| garden spots Of Iowa. Its two rivers
are bordered by rough land of lower
| grade of fertility than are the prairies
| Of Benton, Tama and Cedar. !, But Linn
| has compromising advantages. These
| hills are all fruit land and Cedar Rap
| ids is able to supply reliable labor to
| make garden and orchard profitable.
| Corn, oats. hay barley, wheat and rye
| are crops here and cattle and hogs are
fed in a large way, but Inns advan-
tages lie along the lines of intensive
work. Our farmers should be induced
| to enlarge their efforts along the lines
| of potatoes, onions. beans and such
| vegetables as will supply the market
1 and in the end support canneries and
| preserving plants.
| This intensified work has double
/ meaning and promises double benefit
10 the people OF country and town
| alike, and can be achieved only thru
4 centralized effort such as may be fur
/ thered by county agent and sustain
/ ed by continuous application to Ar

I thus excluded from bidding, and the
\ few contractors who attended the let
tings were able to combine so that
they knew beforehand just who would
receive the work.
The new road law has eliminated
such framing up" by the contractors
by,
i. Requiring detailed plans for each
bridge.
.. Requiring all contractors to bid
on the same plans. Z
8. Requiring estimates Of cost 70 be
prepared by the county engineer,
4. Requiring contracts for large
bridges to be approved by the highway
commission.
5. Interesting large number Of con.
tractors in each letting.
s. Making 1t possible for small con-
tractors to bid.
Third-The now road law has saved
money by abolishins the "blankst
contract"
was impossible to tell before compile
ton what any bridge would cost. The
bidders simply submitted prices at 10
much per foot of span or length. There
were no lists Of bridges on which bids
were being received. No locations
were given for the work. The contrac-
tor familiar with the county's needs
would bid high on spans which he
thought the county would build, and
low on spans which would not be built.
These low bids on spans which would
not be built were used in determinin6
the low bidder. The contract was
awarded accordingly. and the county
paid high prices for its work.
Many items Of expense in connection
with these blanket contracts are 30 ex-
orbitant and unreasonable as to be al
most unbelievable. We have before us,
for example, duplicate Of bill from
a certain county, submitted April 25,
1908, in which the county is charged,
among other things, $50 for sway brac-
ing. We made an examination Of this
bridge in 1910, and found that but two
sway braces had been put on. In other
words. the county was charged SO each
for the work Of mailing on two planks,
after the county had furnished the
lumber, furnished the nails, and paid
the contractor for hauling this lumber
to the bridge site
Certainly, the board did not antici-
pate, when this blanket contract was
entered into, that such charge could
be made. Yet it was made, and the
county paid it.
Such contracts. and such charges,
have been eliminated under the new
law.
