Nameless Horrors of War.

Last week there passed thru Montana
a car load of Belgium children, all
under IA years of age, on their WY
to a Belgian colony in the State of
Was gton. Each and and every
ore Of these children was mutilatea
in ore way or another. All bore the
marks of the brutality of German mill
itary rule Some had hand cut off !:
othershad lost one or both ears. All
of the boys had bee~ mutilated in d
nameless manner, says the Decorah
Poster. People in Montana had heard
of the manner in which the German
military command had ravaged north
ern France and Belgium, and mutilat-
ed young children, but the German
spiesa md agents in this country have
striven to cry down these reports as
English lies. - This is the first OPP

Huckleberry Pie.

The Republican editor and family
spent Sunday on Whiskey creek mead
ows huckleberrying, and brought home
enough for several pies and sixteen
quarts which are now in the can.
There was every indication of a boun-
tlful crop on the mountainside we
broused over, but others had beat us
to it, and we had to content ourselves
with missed patches, which were
sufficiently numerous to keep US 60
ing, and net us enough fruit for an
occasional huckleberry pie during the
coming winter when Hoover is urging
people to can everything from break
fast food labels to old barbwire.

Governor Alexander is to be COM
mended for his recent ultimatum in
reply to the threat of the Wobhles to
paralyze Idaho industry unless the J..
W. w. now incarcerated are turned
loose and permitted to go on violating
the law. Every right minded citizen
of Idaho will applaud the stand taken
by Governor Alexander and will
spring to the defense of law and or
der. This country has the l. w. w.
to fight and conquer sooner or later,
and it might as we'll be right now as
tomorrow. The governor has taker
the right stand. He has called theil
bluff; he has defed anarchy, and pro
claimed for government Of, for anC
by the people. We can harvest oul
clops, manufacture our timber, Oper
ate our factories, and run our country
without the consent or approval o.

YOU'VE GOT TO QUIT KICKlN
MY DOG AROUND. =

The Tribune objects to the Repub-
lican saying good word for any Of
its friends until we have apologized
for all this paper has said about
anyone in this community. But why
should we apologize for exposing
graft, political corruption and gang
rule? For instance, why should the
Republican apologize for helping to
expose that Nease cruise graft ?
Why should we apologize for exposing
graft connected with the loaning of
county POUNDS? Why should we
apologize for that road culvert jobbery
or say we were mistaken about the
81, 600 or more taken from the county
funds to pay for fake bridge plans,
and the bungle in putting the piers on
the top of a gravel bed instead Of
going to solid footing? We have no
apologies to offer for exposing graft.
We have no apologies to offer for eX-
posing the bootleggers, and for our
part in defeating an incompetent gang
of court house grafters and booze
fighters. Nevertheless, the Republi-
can will not hesitate to commend the
good things any citizen of Orofino may
do, and will not take the trouble te
ask the consent of an embezzler OF
county fair funds?

A Nut For Crow to Crack.

Elk River Sentinel: In New
Brunswick new high rates have been
established on white pine belonging
to the government of that province.
AS lesson to the Orofno Tribune
it should be noted that the new rates
are less than it wants applied for
assessment to Clearwater county tim
Der although New Brunswick timber
is close to the New England market,
the best in this country, and can
reach il without tariff and at a
freight rate of only 6 to IL cents.
Furthermore. il can reach all At
lantic coast and European markets b,
water at low rates except during the
war. Still further, all the tops,
large limbs and waste are IN grea'
demand by paper mills at good prices
Other advantages are that is it is al
taken out by water, the governme1
keeping up the improvements on tn
driving streams, loggers can get skill
Id white woodsmen from the neigh
borhood at comparatively low wage
and provisions and supplies on tn
whole cost much less than in Idaho.
Yet with all these advantages, NeN
b unswick provincial timber is here
after to sell at only So per thousan
feet on the stump for white pine, wit
a reduction of one-third where tn
haul Of camp supplies is 40 miles
more, which means almost all of 1t.
A charge of SIS per section pr

Some years ago the water from Oro-
fino creek was taken by ditch around
the foot of the hill above town down
to the asylum. This ditch served
everybody without expense, and made
possible the growing of the most

excuses for lawns. If we are to have
