delegates from his county to Mr.. FL
der for reelection. This charge has
been openly made in Canyon county
and has been published in the leading
papers of the state without donial. 1t
8 susceptible of proof. In Canyon
county case, the charge is made that
in Mr.. Elders behalf, the position of
surveyor-general is pledged to c. W.
Whiffen in return for the Canyon
county delegation for Elder. Certain
ly the high-handed proceedings by
which a handful of the Canyon Jul
ty committee undertook to deliver an
Elder delegation gives the accusation
the currency of truth. To SO treat
the federal patronage is an embezzle-
ment of power and a contemptous de-
fiance of the rules of ordinary decency.
Certainly the gravity of this charge
demands more than silence from the
men involved.
There is an utter lack Of the pro-
prieties in Mr.. Elders makeup. He
appeared at the recent meeting of
the state committee with the proxy for
Idaho county given by the postmaster
of Grangeville, who held his office
at the hands of the national committee
man; and this in face of the fact that
the postmaster's claim to be county
committeeman was denied by the Ida
no county committee and A. w. Talk
ington, a lifelong Democratic leader,
was sent as the county's representa-
tive. The spectacle of a national COM
mitteeman making a fight for a seat
in the state committee based upon the
proxy of a federal a~ppointee is not an
inspiring one to say the least.
In Ada county the county central
committee has sent a delegation of
thirty men to Pocatello bound by the
unit rule and instructed for Mr.. Ell
der for reelection, although there
was a demand for a primary to chose
these delegates and Mr.. Elders sup
porters were forced ito admit that Ell
der could lot carry the county-and
to this admission added the insult that
the primaries would be corrupted!
IL Will be asking a great deal of
loyal Democrats of the state to suffer
Tour more years of ostracism from all
consideration in regard to the federal
patronage-but that is what the re-
election of Mr.. Elder means. The con
vention at Pocatello should look the
matter squarely in the face. Can II

A rumor was persistently afloat at Twin Falls during
the convention last week to the effect that some of the
would-be leaders of the Republican party had entered into
a frame-up to try to depose d. w. Davis as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for governor. This should be
proof positive that d. w. Davis is not the candidate of the
Republican machine, and, therefore is a safe man for the
voters of Idaho to tie to. He will be in at the finish and if
we mistake not he will be the Republican nominee, for
these same leaders who would ditch him concede that at
this time he is away in the Home Repub-
lican.

HI o IN POLITICS.

Before the campaign begins and the Judgment of people
is warped by prejudice or interest in the outcome of cleo
lions, is an opoprtune time to direct attention to a few
matters that merit consideration. The demagogue is
ever present in politics. So is the person who is always
ready to give credit to wild rumors and unreasonable
statements. So is the unprincipled agitator.
The first and the last of these mentioned inveigh against
the "boss" in politics. The other class is often influenced
by their wild statements.
Usually when any man prominent in public life has a
personal and political record that can not be attacked,
the class of agitators referred to call him a "boss." This
is the only derOgatory thing they can say, and is intended
to convey the impression that the one to whom the term
"boss" is applied, is an unholy or unrighteous person. If
such were true, his critics would point to specific instances
where he had sinned. But they do not do so, because they
can not.
What is a "boss' in politics? Nothing more nor less
than a person having a large or small measure of influ-
ence. How is this influence obtained? Is it conferred
by law? Or by force? No, by neither; it is conferred
\by the common consent of %neighbors, friends or acquaint-
ances or by those who are in accord with the acts and
opinions of the 'boss," and is a tribute to his worth rather
han a reproach.
Whenever a person is called a "boss' it is safe to assume
3 hat he is a person of influence and is so clean that no di-
~fcet- charges can be brought against him. If he had no
influence he would not be a "boss." If those who know
him did not believe in him he would have no influence.
Election of confidence in the worthiness and ability of those
to whom it is given. 1t can not be commandered nor COM
PEELED. 1t is the result of a voluntary act. The truth of
this can not be disputed. 1t logically follows, then, that
the man who shouts "boss" will bear watching. He is
usually a demagogue or his reason is less potent than his
p%rejudices. Public confidence makes the "boss." Unsat-
isfied ambition, self-interest, prejudice or pure meanness
usually operate to make the decryer of the boss. Which
is the better citizen and the safer guide?

DEATH Of MRS.
VIM. PARRISH
From Asotin County Sentinel:

From Asotin County Sentinel:
Mrs. William Parrish, so we'll and
favcrably known throughout Asotin
county as one of our earliest pioneers,
passed away at her Asotin home early
Tuesday morning, November 18th,
1915. Funeral services were held at
the Methodist church Thursday fore
noon at ten O'Clock, being conducted by
DR.. o. w. Mintzer, the pastor, and in
terment was made in the Asotin ceme-
terry.
Mrs. Parrish, whose maiden name
was Content V. Bean, with a twin bro
ther, Daniel V. Bean, was born in u
nion, Wisconsin, on the 14th day of A
pril, 1847, and at the time of her death
was SO years and seven months old.
On March 31st, 1869, she was united
in marriage to William Parrish, at
Plover Wisconsin, and with her hus-
band and family came west to Wash
ington in May 1878, and in the fall
of the same year located at Anatone,
during all the years that have follow
ed made her home at that place and
in Asotin. She was the mother of
seven children, all of whom, with her
husband, survive and were at her bed
side during her last hours and when
the end came. The children are: W.
T., residing at Walla WaIla; Frank,
residing at Garfield; Harry, Arthur
and Bruce, and Mrs. Grace Ausman
and Mrs. Edith Downen, all residents
of Asotin.
The deceased was stricken with par
alysis on March 20, 1913, and had
been confined to her bed from that
ime until the day of her passing away.
She was one of the most lovable of
Christian characters and through all
of her severe affiiction was always
cheerful-never complaining. No wife
and mother was ever more devoted to
her family; better neighbor could not
be desired and her friendship was to
be cherished by all She was truly
one of the vests noble women. Her
life was one of usefulness, ever seek
ing to do good wherever it could be
done. She will be missed by all who
ever had the pleasure of knowing her

FORUM DEBATE
INTERESTING

The ladies of the Congregational
church served 125 people at their sup
per Monday night when the Mems For
um held a session at the church par
lors. The water power question was
the subject for the debate and Theo-
dore Brazeau of the firm Goggins, Bra
zeau & Goggins delivered the princi-
pal address which was an able one Civ
ing a detailed account of that ques-
tion as he understands it from man
ufacturers standpoint.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Bra
zeau presented this water power ques-
ton in full to the state legislature and
the great waterpower bill when it was
up for consideration in Madison. His
address was fine and he was followed
by several who asked questions in ref
erence thereto. We understand that
those who were present understand
the water power rights and interests
better than they did at any time be-
fore.

pump and fan. And a circulating
| splash oil system is used, with an e.
lectric Indicator on the dash, which re-
main lighted whenever the car is in
operation and the oil flow is adequate
If at any time this light goes out, the
driver is warned that his oil supply
has reached too low a level.
The starting, lighting and ignition
system is Delco, which operates in con
nection with an Exide battery. The
Stewart Vacuum Gasoline System is
used, which permits the employment
of convenient gas tank in the rear,
and gives at all times positive gaso-
line feed under all driving conditions,
without the necessity of a pressure
pump.
In the design of the body there are
also some noteworthy refnements.
Genuine machine-buffed leather is used
in the upholstery, which is of the new
popular pleated type. Riding comfort
is also increased by the generous depth
of the upholstery and the ample ton
neau room provided.
In the equipment, too, several bet
terments are to be noted. The wind
shield is Of the latest overlapping ty-
pc, which with the one-man top and
curtains, provides an excellent driv-
ing equipment also includes Stewart
speedometer, ammeter, gasoline guage
robe rail, foot rail, extra demountable
rim, electric headlights with DINNERS,
tail light, license plate brackets, cleo
| trio horn, ETC., etc. The standard col
or for the Model "a is a deep coach
green, with tenders and chassis black.
In addition to the fve-passenger
touring model, the Oakland line also
! includes a two-pasenger roadster mo-
| del, and a closed-convertible Sedan mo-
del, and closed Coupe
fodel.
The new Oakland Sensible Six thus
combines great power, lightness, with
strength, roominess with comfort and
all Of the usual features necessary to
satisfactory performance at a price
much lower than the same have ever
been offered before.

new OAKLAND MODEL. THE
SENSIBLE SIX IS LARGER

Greatly improved over it's prede-
cessor is the new Oakland Model 81,
called by it's makers "Thel Sensible
Six" Betterments, both in body de-
sign and mechanical details, make
the new Oakland "Six"-priced at
$845-an even bigger value in the
eyes of motordrom than the justly
popular Oakland "Six" which pre-
ceded it. Thos. M. Orrell of the
Thos. NJ. Orrell company. local
dealers of Oakland cars, is elated
over the new line.
Speaking generally, the new Six is
decidedly bigger, better looking and
more comfortable than the 1916 car.
The wheelbase has been increased
to 112 inches, and every inch of the
body space has been utilized by the
designers to such good advantage
that the car not only looks big in ev-
cry way, is unusually roomy
both in tonneau and driving COM
partment. In fact full six inches
have been added in body room with
an increase of but two inches in
wheelbase. The body lines have also
been altered somewhat to still fur
ther emphasize the straight-Iine eff
fets, which is becoming so popular on
cars of the better class.
The added wheelbase also gives the
car considerably better riding quail
ity, which is further improved by the
use of long semi-elliptic springs, 81
inches in length. This new spring
construction is in strict accord with
| the most progressive ideas of automo-
bile engineering practice.
Larger tires also add materially to
the easy riding qualities of the Sen
sible Six,-the specifications calling
for inch tires all around. The tires
are in fact oversize for a car weigh
ing only 2,150 pounds, as the 32x4
size is built for weights up to 1900
pounds.
Among the important mechanical
improvements is the refinement of the
motor. On the testing block the new
engine delivers Al horsepower at a
speed of $500 r. p, ma truly re-
markable showing when it is consid-
cred that no increase whatever has
been made in the bore and stroke. Skill
full designing has refined the valve-in-
head motor into one of high speed type
which developes the added horsepower
without any increase in size.
In fact, it is notable that through
out the entire mechanical design of
the car, refnements have been de-
fveloped to conserve and emphasize
the cars ightness with great strength
as well as its fuel and tire economy
The famous Hotchkiss drive minimizes
all driving strain and saves both tires
and the mechanism throughout. The
frame is a rugged 4 1-2 inch channel
section of pressed steel, the front ak
lie "I' beam, drop forged; the rear
full floating. Cooling is accomplished
by means of circulating centrifugal
