"CAMOUFLAGE."
The French term

"CAMOUFLAGE'
may be used to express most precise

outage" 1t fits the case to gnats
heel For example, the hiring of one
LaPont and the spending of $4,000
for alleged supervision and plans OF
the Orofino bridge was "Camou-
fage" cooked up to cover up graft
When the gang spent $4,000 for
bridge at Oroflno they "Camou-
tagged" in the matter of piers, for it
Is well known fact that the plans
provided for piers that lacked some
thing of reaching the river bed, let
alone going down to something SOL

The gang "Camouflaged" when the
interest on county funds. under a
subtcrfuge. was. pocketed by the

more when they arrested the Repub-

To "Camouflage" Is to make things
look what they are not; to smear a
varnish of B. S. or other dope on
the outside to disguise the real in
terror. Doesn't that cover the Nease
guess, which was first and last q
monumental graft?
And how many more might we

There are those who ARE working
on the theory that the man who pro-
duces is entitled to special favors be-
cause he is the whole show; that all
else is side issue. But what would
become of the farmer If the non-pro-
ducing masses suddenly ceased to
exist? What would grain be worth
If the farmer had no non-producer to
consume? Suppose we close every
factory in the land, put every man to
producing his own food, on the the
DRY that industry is illegitimate, and
the producer everything. What will
become of the farmer? We mention
this because we desire to show that
the body of the state does not differ
one iota from the human body-that
the eye must serve the entire body,
and in turn is served by all the other
organs and parts of the body. The
feet and the hands and the stomach
are not one whit more important
than the multitude of holes. called
pores. in the skin, or the teeth that
masticate the food. Society Is a COM
pick mass. and 1t is right that each
class should strive hard for square
deal; but remember that an injury
to industry is blow at the farmers
markets, and that special privileges
to any class. producer or consumer
ID wrong. Let us stand always for a
square deal.

Perhaps you may not be interested

timber owners starting any kind OF
industry within our county. To this
end let us ask the coming Legislature
to pass laws that will completely
cripple any industry we now have
and stop the starting of any in con-
temptation. We hope the Orofino

all that kept the Germans from fir-
