1t Is. Now Up To The People,

The Republican editor is now as
sisting in the campaign and it is alb
solutely impossible to do this and get
out an 8-page paper. For weeks we
have been giving the people the facts.
We can only repeat them. If the
voters are not posted and refuse to
believe the facts, the case is hopeless
and a million page paper of facts
would be useless. Slippery jim
Blake is the democratic party; this
man, crook, is in the saddle, and
the people have been amply warned.
If, in the face of facts, the people
want more of Jim Blake government
thru Jim Blake county officials, we
want the people to have it. Blake
gang rule has meant corrupt govern
ment, booze government, dishon-
est government. 1t has by some
means always contrived to use it's
county officials for the personal ad-
vantage of Blake gang leaders. 1t
has tied the hands of county officers;
1T has ever been able to get men,
elected by its influence, to do dirty
business for the enrichment of the
Blakes and for the robbery of the
people. 1t has besmirched the demo-
cratic party. 1t has dragged good
men down into the mire, and the tes-
timony of John Molloy is the proof of
this. Frank Zelenka evidently did
not profit personally but he was
handled by the Blakes; he delivered
the goods at their dictaton, and helped
betray the people into the hands of
the same machine that is again run
ming the democratic party in this
county. Past experience ought to
teach the people lesson. 1t ought
to say in trumpet tones that it is in
viting disaster and corruption and
graft to place the Blake machine in
power.

Big Film Coming.

1t required scene of physical dis
aste to bring out the story of the
overwhelming moral disaster, the
chief feature of the "Children of
Eve, the five part photo drama to be
seen at the Rex Theatre next Satur-
day. The fire scene, in which five
story brick factory where hundreds of
children are employed is razed by
flames, most striking bit of realism,
causing momentarily, terror even to
spectators of the film, provides the
setting for dramatic, tense situation
and powerful climax. In it a man of
affairs, great wealth and social status,
kneeling at the side of dying girl,
victim of the great holocaust, learns
that she is his own daughter, child
he had never seen, but who beyond
doubt, is the fruit of his sin. He had
known her only as reformed, once
dissolute girl of the underworld, and
it was through his insrumentality that
she was prevented from becoming the
cherished wife of his own nephew.
This knowledge and the crushing fact
that her mother refused to marry him,
not because she did not love him, but
rather because in her love-filled heart
she feared such marriage would ruin
him, brings to Henry Clay Madison
realization of the fact that ''the sins
of the fathers shall be visited upon
the children.
Viola Dana, the Edison star, has
in the Children of Eve vehicle
affording an unusual opportunity to
display her versatility, and emotiona |
dramatic power.
Children of Eve" is an Edison
masterpiece released through the
kleine- Edison Feature Service.

Why Smith didn't represent the
county in the trial of the Nease cruise
case. The Weippe Herald, owned
and edited by T. B. West, democratic
candidate for prosecuting attorney,
cant imagine why Prosecuting At
torney Smith did not represent the
county in the trial of the socalled
Nease cruise case in the u. S. Dis
trict court. This is not to be
wondered at when we consider Mr..
Vests record as a practicing at
torney. No one who knows West
will accuse him of knowing why.
We have never heard him accused of
knowing anything about law. What
would you think of entrusting a
Jeweler with the repair of your watch
when he didn't know anything about
the mechanism of a watch, not even
how to get to the inside of it. Of
course West doesn't know. Nobody
will accuse him of knowing. But in
order to enlighten him so he may not
again expose his ignorance we will
refer him to the law as to the duties
of prosecuting attorney.
The Constitution, Article V. Sec
tion Is, says: He shall be a prac-
ticing attorney, and shall perform
such duties as may be prescribed by
law. ;"
Section 20S0 of the Idaho Codes
says: He shall be licensed to
practice as such in the District Courts
of the State.
Section 2OS2 says: ''It is the duty
of the prosecuting attorney: /. To
prosecute or defend all actions, ap-
plications or motions, civil or GRIM
inal, IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF
HIS COUNTY in which the people of
the county are interested, or are
party: and when the place of trial is
changed in any such action or pro-
ceeding to another county, he must
prosecute or defend the sam in such
other county.
2. To prosecute all criminal
actions before the probate and JUS
tees courts of this county when
called upon by said courts, and upon
the request of magistrates, and to
prosecute or defend all civil actions
before the probate and justices courts
of the county in which the people or
the state or county are interested or
party.
3. To give advice to the board of
county commissioners, and other pub
lie officers of his county, when re-
quested in all public matters, in
which the people or the state or the
county are interested or party.
4. To attend, when requested by
any grand jury etc.
5. On the first Monday of each
month to settle with the auditor etc.
6. To perform all other duties
required of him by any law.
The United States District Court,
in which the Nease trial occurred, is
not 1.-THE District court of his county,"
The Prosecuting Attorney has no
business there. He is doing pretty
well when he performs the duties i'm
posed upon him by law.
The prosecuting attorney is the
legal adviser of the Board of County
Commissioners. AS such adviser Mr..

Some Turnips.

l.. Clanin of the Cavendish section
was in Orofino the first of the week
and presented the Republican office
with two purple top turnips of won-
derful size. They were exception
ally large, about as big around as a
three gallon bucket, and perfect in
shape. The quality, too, is fine, a
third of one of them making enough
for two meals. These vegetables
were simply beauties. and speak vol
umes for the Cavendish section.

Home Grown MOlasses.

l. Hanson, who has been farming a
tract of land in the edge of Orofino,
near the cement plant, has made a
successful demonstration of the pos
sibilities of sugar cane and sorghum
in this locality. From an acre of
cane he got about 100 gallons of ex-
cellent syrup, which was sold as it
came from the mill at ninety cents a
gallon. People clamored for it, and
he could have disposed of hundreds of
gallons.

Ahsahka Spuds.

E. c. Chase of Ahsahka has made
notable record for potato raising
the past season, and is convinced that
this section can produce as good pota-
toes of as fine quality as any place in
the world. The past season he raised
the famous Melted Gem, and from
twenty straight hills this fall dug
l57 marketable potatoes weighing 120
pounds. Mr.. Chase has demonstrated
that Clearwater county can produce
the large kind, wanted by the N. P.
Railroad company for baking, and for
which premium is paid.

Why Smith Didn't Handle the
NeaSe Cruise Case for County

Smith informed the board that the
Nease warrants were illegal. and
advised them and the county treasurer
that they should not be paid. The
United States District Court SAYS
that Mr.. Smith s opinion was correct.
Mr.. Smith has been admitted to the
bar of the Supreme Court of Idaho,
That is all that the law requires. 1t
is interesting in this connection to
note that the first prosecuting at
torney of this county, Mr.. Ogden.
was not admitted to the Supreme
Court bar at the time he held the
office, but he was democrat, SO of
course he was not open to criticiam.
Is man who is ignorant of the
duties of the office to which he as
pires, as is Mr.. West, competent to
hold that office?
AS County Attorney Mr.. Smith has
complied with the law, has done all
and more than the law requires, has
been dlligent in the exercise of his
official duties, has been safe and
reliable public advisor, has worked
for the best interests of the tax
payers, has proven himself competent
and efficient. He found the county
wet and the laws not enforced. He
made the county dry and the law
respected. Why turn Mr.. Smith out
and employ an unknown quantity?
Why not let we'll enough alone?

paid? Was Mr.. Hume account, he
being editor of the Tribune at that
time, withdrawn from the Fidelity
State Bank at that time on account of
this deal? If you can't find this
record in this case, perhaps l can
give you some information to assist
you, as my experience as director
of said bank for nine years has given
me an OPPORTUNITY to see and know
of many things pertaining to peculiar
methods of bank finance.
2. Did you look into the record of
that Osterhout deal that has been dis
cussed so much since it occurred? If
you have not, l advise you to do so
and get the facts.
3. Did you see any record of that
Post Office money order of Myron
Smiths for $40, sent the bank to pay
his taxes in 1914? Was it endorsed
and csshed? And were the taxes
paid at all that year?
If so, by whom?
If you answer these questions cor
rectly, Mr.. Grow, will then be able
to judge of your ability as bank
examiner, and if find you are cap
able of going to the bank records and
giving the facts, l will then ask you
some questions that may be harder to
answer.
You accuse me also of not using
$500 which was appropriated by the
Commissioners for getting values of
timber lands. l appreciate the fact
that you would have used this money
if you h had the chance, as know
of 1T least two instances where you
tried to get that amount of money for
throwing the influence of your paper
directly opposite the way your .nfu-
ence has been used. | might say
further | did not feel justified in
squandering this money for cruising,
and subsequent events have justified
my that impression. For instance,
take the action of my successor, one
Patrick H. Blake, who was instru-
mental in securing the services of one
A. to z. Nease for making cruise
that looks all right on paper. but in
fact has no value whatever. Regard
less of this fact, however, the tax
payers Of this county had to pay Nease
$50, 900 just before your pal, Pat, let
loose Of the reigns of government of
this county; and IN addition thereto
he left legacy to the dear people Of
$50, 600 more.
And you, Mr.. Crow, approve of this
method Of high finance, and instead of
placing the blame on the Institution
cover on the corner" where il right
fully belongs, you are making it an
unjust burden on the democratic
party.
In conclusion, l will say that my
only regret in answering your scurri-
lous attack is The fact you have
fastened, saddled this infamy on the
democratic party, instead Of on the
shoulders of the Gang where it right
fully belongs, and will thus cause
the defeat of some of my friends on
the ticket. Thus it is ever, Gangs
ters in going down to defeat often
drag good men down with them.
Yours truly,
JNO. T. MOLLOY.

Orofino Apples.

The Republican editor visited the
LaForest orchards few days ago,
and was shown over the place by the
owner. The trees are loaded with as
perfect fruit as one could find any,
where. The apples are taking on
their deep colors, some of them blood
red, and the size is above the average
for the varieties. For quality no
place on earth can excel them. By
sciS ntifc methods Mr.. LaForest has
fruit without worms, scale or scab.
This year the orchard will produce
about one carload of fancy pack, and
the price is good. 1t is probable the
entire crop will be taken by local
stores.

Alexander an Orthodox Jew.

Governor Alexander is a Jew. He
believes Christ is an imposter, an il
Legitimate child, and the story of his
birth fake. Nose Alexander does
not believe Christ is the anointed one.
the only begotten son of God, the
Saviour, the child Of promise. He
does not accept Christ. Nose Alex
ander is a Jew. He worships in a
Synagogue, a worshipper of Judaism.
If these things are true then it is
mockery to open a Christian church to
Nose Alexander; it is Hypocrisy and
cant and nonsense, and this arch hyp-
ocrit should be exposed and his efforts
to deceive stopped with suddenness
that will jar ever bone in his body.
Christians should resent this effort
to coin Nose Alexander votes out of
religion. The sacraligious utterances
of Jew should be resented. Prejud-
ice against Jews, we have none. We
have had the privilege of attending
services where Jew occupied the
Methodist, and had accepted Christ.
the Clearwater Republican would be
the last on earth to appeal to racial
prejudices, but how can any honest
Christian, knowing the truth about
Nose Alexander, keep silent? How
can Christian be party to this
mockery, be party to this outrage
against the Christ? Judas betrayed
Christ for thirty pieces of silver. A
Jew politician is crucifying the Holy
One on the altar of political greed,
and bartering the garments for votes.

The White Pine has excavated a
large cellar or basement under their
new store to be used for storing
apples, potatoes and other perishable
crops for winter trade. Much of the
LaForest apple crop is to be handled
by this store.

MOLLOY CALLS l. R. CROW, AND CHARGES
DELIBERATE DECEPTION OF THE PEOPLE

~ hls 1. ~. SIoW, OuiCol oAoiiHo
Tribune. Dear Sir: In your issue
of October 9th you attacked me and
tried to shoulder the responsibility of
the million Dollar Mystery" upon
me. On October 11th, 1916, l re-
piled thereto and handed you copy
for publication in your paper, suppos-
ing you would be honorable enough to
publish my reply to your unwarranted
attack. But you did not have the
manhood to live up to the unwritten
law of all newspapers of giving any
man whom they attack the privilege
of answering the same in the columns
of the paper making the attack.
Why. did you fail to live up to the
rules of your profession, and show
yourself at least half man, as you
could comment on my reply if you so
desired. There is only one conclusion
that can be adduced in answer to such
reprehensible action on your part.
and that is: YOU ARE AFRAID TO
GIVE THE PEOPLE THE FACTS.
Now, Mr.. Grow, as you are an as
pirant for the office of Probate Judge,
| presume you would, if elected, fol-
low out this same method of proce
dure, and if man were brought be-
fore you that was opposed to the
Blake gang and its M thods, you
would no doubt hear the accusing
side, which, advanced by the Blakes,
regardless of truth and TIE facts,
would be your law; and you would
meet out justice(O without giving
the defendant hearing or snow to
offer defense, thus giving him a
proper Kangaroo.
believe you are the same Crow
that filled the office of Probate Judge
of this county once before, by ap-
pointment by the Blake gang, are you
not? And the same Crow that was
short over $l00 in your accounts with
the county at that time, were you
not? Have you ever paid this money
back to the county? Is it any won

led to realized that you are dishonor-
able enough to slander a man in the
columns of your paper and SO low
down in the Shiny pool Of the Blake
gang filth as to deny him the univer-
sal privilege Of printing his answer
thereto. You would make some Jud-
rs, Aye bet.
Mr.. Grow, | want to say right here
tnat in this political game you are
playing, you are not the umpire, and
while l am at the bat, you may try tC
foul me, but you will find that l will
make first base on balls.

is not sustained by the facts, etc.
Now, Mr.. Grow, as you are posing as
a bank expert will you kindly give
the public such information as the
books show? How far am / off in
my statement? Is it 81 or only &c
cents? As you say you have exam

Hamer Delivered the Goods.

Hon. Thos. Hamer of St. Anthony
delivered one of the finest addresses
it has ever been the privilege of Oro-
fino people to hear. 1t was not only
polished oratory, but is was logical,
thoughtful and convincing. 1t un-
masked the Jew hypocrit, one Moses,
the One-Price Clothier of Boise, who
is running for governor on the demo-
cratic ticket. Col. Hamer simply
stripped the hide from Moses and ex-
posed him to the people. shorn of his
coat of piety, religious Hypocrisy and
cant. He said that Alexander, an
orthodox Jew, who believed Christ
was an imposter, an illegitimate
child, was making mockery of
Christianity, and desecrating Christian
churches. Mr.. Hamer dissected the
Alexander plan of vetoing the thick
bills and signing the thin ones, show
ing that governor of Idaho had, by
his own admission, been guilty of
abusing the Office and imposing on the
people. One of the bills Nose
boasted of vetoing was tnat protecting
the property rights of women.

alton and little work would give
us good road between Newberry

on the part Of the communities Of
Little Mountain, Prosperity and New

There was collision at one of the
street crossings on Sunday morning
by two automobiles. The wonder is
there are not more. We have advised
and urged the necessity of some traf-
fic regulations and then the strict
enforcement of the ones that We have.
Few people really realize the great
number of cars that are now driving
our streets and some really forget
that th1re ever was a wagon or a bug
gy or that man was made to walk
and if these done get out of the way
when the o. 6! sounds why it is bare
ly possible for it or him to be knock

the right and keep to the right and

some of them and stop before You
cross are good regulations. How
many cars pay any attention at all
to the little board which reads -

We remember that some years ago
we heard a good deal about establish
ing a boil weevil zone and thus keep
the insect from spreading all over the
cotton belt, but no one took any ac-
ton and We suppose the government
thought it unwise to act, and as a re-
suit the weevil continues to travel,
and now we are told that our farmers
must diversity as the only proper
means of combating the evil.
We notice that Senator McLauril.
suggests the establishment of zone
along the Savannah river to stop the
weevil at that place, but We suppose
the people who would be in the zone
would object, but would it not be bet
ter for them in the end and would it
not save the cotton section on the
eastern side Of the zone.
AS we understand the weevil, it not
only travels but remains also where
it gets. If it could be stopped by
establishing what they call zone it
seems to US that the government
should take some action, but it may
be that We have waited too long for
that sort Of a remedy to be effective

We have corrected our mailing lists
up to Friday of last week. We have
no doubt there are good many er-
rors. Probably some duplicates. And
some wrong addresses. If there are
any such We would thank any one for
the information that will help US to
get the names and addresses correct,
and especially might the rural carri-
ers assist in this, if it is not against
the regulations of the department. We
would not ask them, Of course, to DO
anything that is not in accord with
the regulations, but We thought
mawba that if they saw that there
were duplicates, that is two papers
going to the same name, or if, we
had the wrong address of some sub
scribers, that it would be entirely
proper for them to give us the infor-
nation. and in this way help in the
prompt dispatch of the mail. At any
rate We will make the corrections just
as fast as we can.

1t is stated that the militia at An
derson is costing the State of South
Carolina $4,000 a week. The COVER
nor's private secretary went over on
Saturday and paid off the boys for the
first week That is small matter.
We saw it stated the other day where
the expenses of the Mexican peace
commission were $4,000 week. That
the messengers were occupying rooms
at hotel that cost $500 per day.

difference. Just as we'll put the mon
