And the best way to stimulate a good

The editor of this quiz expresses
his obligations to Judge Dole of the
federal court and Mr.. r. w. Breckons,
late United States district attorney,
for valuable suggestions and for cor

Mr.. Paul Super of the Y. M. c. A.
for the use of helpful books on citi-

The few questions on history are

ing deemed a convenient vehicle for
the dissemination of little element

more unenlightened, though worthy,
candidates for citizenship.

The quiz on the constitution, pub
lished in today's issue OF the Star
Bulletin, grows out of the desire on
the part of those in charge of the citi-
zenship work of the Y. VI. c.. A. and
on the part Of the judges of the Unit
ed States district court in Honolulu
that there should be available in con-
venient form for naturalization candi-
dates a summary of the constitution.
About three years ago Federal Judge
c. F.. Clemens prepared such a sum
mary, which was published in the
Advertiser" and translated into Por-
tuguese in 20 Luso" Early in the
fall, adopting the question and an
swer method of presentation as a
more effective way of teaching the
constitution, he prepared this quiz
here printed, which the Y. NJ. e. A.
citizenship committee intends to have
reprinted for distribution in pamph-
let of pocket size. II will probably
be translated into Portuguese and
Spanish, and perhaps into other Ian
guages, and it will be recommended
that it be published by the bureau
of naturalization of the department
Of labor at Washington
This quiz Is believed to be more
complete. thorough and accurate than
any other that has been prepared for
a similar purpose. The best of those
in common circulation are meager,
though satisfactory enough, as far as
they go. Indeed, these questions and
answers on the constitution may be
thought to be too thorough, too adj
vanced, for the ordinary applicant for
citizenship it is admitted that
they may be for some applicants. But
It is the feeling of the judges q our

taking a great interest in our new
citizens and candidates for citizen
ship. The head OF the society at
Washington has for three years past
been furnishing the court for distribu.
ton pocket size pamphlets containing
the constitution and amendments. and
the local society lately presented to
the court a large flag which HAMS in
the court room. A considerable inter-
est Is being taken among the Fill
pinos, who have organized one or
more active clubs which are making
study of the constitution and of our
government. This is one OF the fruits
of the work of Mr.. Steel of the Y NJ
G.. a.
One of the best examinations ever
passed in the court here was by a.
Filipino, admitted several years ago,
the court following the opinion Of At.
torney General Bonaparte that Fill
pinos are eligible, though there is now
a division of authority among courts
as to the eligibility of these people,
which II is hoped that case now
pending here may tend to settle The.
case Of Mr.. Ozawa. Japanese, which
was before Judge Dole and is now be.
fore Judge Clemens, has aroused a
great deal OF interest here, in Cali
fornia and in Washington, the Judges
and the district attorney having re-.
ceived inquiries not only from people
here but from the mainland, That
case has been continued another
month with the idea that il Judge
Dole is reappointed it may be again
taken up by him who is in a better
position than anyone else to determine
this question of national and even in,
ternational Importance.

ern themselves. 1t has been a repub-
lican administration that called halt
to gang rule of waste and inefficien-
cy, with its overriding of public in
terest, with its brazen disregard for
the best interests of the people, with
its failure to submit to vote of the
people, required by law, the matter
of the expenditure of a vast sum. 1t
was a republican administration that
invoked the law for the people, and
stopped the contemplated robbery Of
the people. 1t was republican ad-
ministration that substituted rule of
the people for gang rule, and has re-
stored to the people their right to
govern themselves. This is the out
standing monument to the credit of
the officers chosen by the people at
the last election in protest over gang
rule and Tammany methods.
1t is not within the realm of pos
sibility that sane people will, in
the face of this record, deliberately
go back to gang rule and Blake in
fiuence in county affairs. Such q
thing is unthinkable. With jim
Blake openly in control, and with his
tools in command of the democratic
party, with large element of the
democratic party in open revolt, it il
absolutely certain the republicans
will sweep the county at the coming
election by veritable landslide
burying beneath the avalanche the
last vestige of Blake rule in Clear
water county.

stead of letting county funds lie in
banks, drawing 2 per cent on daily
balances, County Treasurer Crockett
has used them promptly to take up
outstanding warrants and stop per
cent interest against the people.
The republican party, nineteen
months ago, found county where the
law was farce. Many Of the county
officers were common drunkards, and
bootlegging was open and unmolested.
Elk River was home for harlots
and the rendezvous of undesirables.
In broad daylight, under the eyes of
Deputy Sheriff Roy Leeper and his
superiors, under the eyes of County
Attorney Holsclaw, there poured into
Elk River by regular railroad service,
vast quantities of beer, whiskey and
wine. and the traffic flourished to an
extent that was astonishing and ap-
palling. That record was published
and is today matter of proof. The
records stand open for public inspec-
ton, and are not disputed. Nineteen
months of republican administration
has transformed Elk River into one of
the driest towns in Idaho; the boot
leggers and harlots and houses of
prostitution have gone; violators of
the law have packed their grips and
disappeared. Clearwater county has
been transformed into decent, law
abiding commonwealth, and no longer
is our court house den of iniquity
and debauchery. Sobriety and decen-
cy have replaced drunkenness, and
any violation of the law is sure to
bring prompt and emphatic punish
ment.
But even greater than all this is
the fact that it has been a republican
county administration that has given
back to the people their light to gov

The Orofino Tribune, Jim Blake's

The Orofno Tribune, Jim Blake's
political organ, does not like the
court decision in the Nease case.
Which ought to be proof positive that
the decision is bum one, and the
court corrupt. The very idea of a
court interpreting the law so as to
give the people some protection when
a gang wastes county funds and i'm
poses unlimited debts on the backs of
the people. A judge who will dare
do this must be very bad judge,
actuated by very improper motives,
and if the court of last esort sus-
tains Judge DIETRICH it might be
we'll, in the interest of Jim Blake
and other political ringsters, for l..
R. Crow and his friends to ask the
judge to resign and have the Hon.
Walter Tame, ex-J. P. of Orofino, ap-
rointed to fill the vacancy on the
Federal bench.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1916-08-18

In the Nease cruise decision the
Federal court interpreted the laws in
the interest of the people. The
court has served notice that the peo-
pie have rights which no gang, which
no unworthy public official can ig-
more. The court has said this is still
government Of, for and by the peo-
pie, the common people, if you
please, and the county commissioners,
the business agents of the people,
cannot ignore the rights of the people
and impose unlimited indebtedness on
the people without vote of the peo-
pie authorizing the Indebtedness. In
short, Judge DIETRICH has called a
halt on gang rule and Tammany bust
ness methods in Clearwater and other
counties, and says the constitution of
Idaho, with provisions calculated tc
protect the public against extrava-
gance and waste, is to govern and
shall be respected. The decision is,
therefore, one of the most important
ever rendered in Idaho, and stands
as bulwork of defense of the rights
of the people.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS.

In the coming county campaign it
is most creditable and noteworthy
fact that no citizen of Clearwater
county will be called upon to make an
excuse or to apologize for the record
madeby the republican county officials.
The republican party has been in con-
troll Of Clearwater county now only
nineteen months. In that brief time
these republican officials, servants of
the people, have taken bankrupt
county, county owing $l26, 900, a
county whose road warrants were no
longer accepted by banks, county
whose credit was trained to the
breaking point, a county despoiled
and discredited, and by good, sound,
conservative business management, by
honest business methods, by strict
economy, placed it on sound finan-
cial basis, absolutely out of debt,
and that without sacrificing internal
development of the county. While
the republicans have been putting the
county out of debt they have done
more road building during their nine
teen months of service than was ever
done in the same length of time by
any of their predecessors. Money
that formerly was waited, funds that
formerly were grated, taxes that
were squandered for things not auth
orized by law, or in violation of law,
have been used to pay off this gang
debt of Sl26, 600, and to build roads
and bridges for the people.
County funds have been used to
liquidate county debts where the
Blake gang manipulated them for the
personal gain of favored banks. If
county funds have been used by banks
under republican rule, the people have
had interest for their use. But in

The continual howl against people
who invest capital in Clearwater
county tends to drive capital away
from this section to the great disad-
vantage of our farmers, working peo-
pie, and merchants. We need men
with money to develope our immense
natural resources, and the only way
we can get them is to treat them
fairly. When we talk of confiscat-
ing, through taxation, the property
of others we are working against our
own interests. People with good
sense will not tolerate such nonsense.
Office seekers who depend on this sort
of talk for success are public men,
ace and should be given to understand
that they are not wanted in Clear
water county.
