Clearwater A Tough River.

The Clearwater Republican is in
receipt of a letter from the U. S.
War Department in which it is stated
that after thorough investigation the
proposition to improve the Clearwater
River from its mouth to Orofino for
navigation has been rejected owing to
the expense and the nature of the
stream. The report says it is doubtful
if any river commerce, other than
logging, could be developed on the
stream. 1t would be cheaper for the
government to give us another rail-
road from Lewiston than to open this
stream to navigation, in our opinion.
Who stated this thing, we'd like to
inquire? There isn't tonnage enough
along this entire river to keep three
box cars and dinky engine busy one
trip a day.

FARMERS HAVE FIGHT AND
ONE CARVES THE OTHER

Gilbert had cutting scrape July 8,
when F. w. Gage was slashed, not
very seriously, several times by S l.
1avis. The men met at mail box
when Gage is reported to have de-
manded payment Of a debt. Tavis
was sitting down on box, the story
goes, and Gage was standing holding
cane or stick in his hand. Gage
claims Tavis, without any provocation,
jumped up and assaulted him with the
knife. Tavis claims Gage struck
him with the club and he slashed in
self-defense. Both agree they clinched
and struggled for some time, and
gave it up as bad job. Nobody saw
the fight and the jury will, if the case
is finally tried, have to determine who
is the aggressor. The preliminary
was heard before Probate Judge
TodG, and Tavis bound over to the dis
trict court.

Why Not Roast The Government!

The 0rofino Tribune should go after
the government, if it thinks the Clear
water Republican is taking stand
deserving condemnation. The Tribune
has harbored Hofstede for two years
past; has permitted this anarchist to
edit it, and has supported this an
archist for village attorney, and at
tempted to have him elected county
attorney. How much better is the
Tribune than the company it keeps?
The columns of the Clearwater Re-
publican are not open to the enemies
Of the United States, regardless of
whether it pleases jim Blake's crow
or not. Nor is the Republican safe
loafing place for anarchists. More
than this the Republican editor can t
count among its patrons and supporters
single dirty whelp of the Hofstede
breed, and we hope the Tribune will
keep right on advertising the fact that
the Clearwater Republican is loyal to
the United States. And we wonder
if the Tribune can name one single
decent democrat who approves its en-
dorsement and defense of treason,
anarchy and disloyalty?
The Fedeal authorities tell us the
|. W. w. is national menace. SC
serious as to call for the most drastic
government action at once. In fact
all members are probably guilty OF
treason, since they are, by their at.
titude towards industry, aiding most
materially and abetting the enemy OF
the country.

Sheriff and Deputies a Busy Bunch.

Sheriff Sullivan and his force are
working night and day TO preserve
peace and protect property in this
county. And the fact we have eff
cient officers may prevent serious
trouble and save the taxpayers thous-
ands of dollars in criminal costs.
Deputy Sheriff Jewell is in Elk River
with Deputy Shea, where many
special deputies have been sworn in.
The county authorities have taken
every possible precaution to head off
trouble. In addition this l. W. w.
trouble Sheriff Sullivan is one of the
county board looking after the govern
ment registration and enlistment of
men, and has had the enforcement of
this law to take care of. So the
sheriff and his force are the busiest
people in the county this summer.

GERMAN SPIES ARE SPREAD
INC DISEASE GERMS

The following from the Kirksville,
Mo-, Daily Express, in its issue of
June n. has been handed to the Re-
publican with the request that we
publish it:
County and city officials Of towns
that persons who see peddlers selling
court plaster and other small articles
in this section notify them at once, SO
the plaster can be examined to see
whether they contain germs Of conta-
gious diseases. The word is being
passed from town to town, in the hope
that group of four peddlers who
visited towns rear here yesterday can
be apprehended and their wares exam
ined.
The chief of police in Chillicothe
has issued a warning along these lines,
and Sheriff Shoop and Chief of Police
Hit are doing the same in Kinks
vile. So far as known, the peddlers
have not appeared here, but if they
do, the public is urged to notify the
officers.
The following from the Hale, Mo. !,
Hustler-Leader will be of interest,
altho it may not apply in any way to
the men wanted in this section.
BEWARE OF PEDDLERS.
The latest and mots diabolcal plot
to destroy human lives was shown uI
last week when a travelling faki,
peddler of innocent looking court plas-
la. When searched at the police sta.
tion over 81, 900 in currency was dis.
covered on his person, and this made
the officers more suspicious than al
first and it was decided to fully in
estigate, and sample of his court
plaster was sent to Council Bluffs ant
when analysed was found to contain
large quantities of leprosy germs, the
most malignant and incurable disease
in the world. The aforesaid peddlel
was German and could hardly speal

to beware of peddlers, for you cal
never tell what you are liable to b
up against.

A. H. MORRIS =
This is the most unkindest cut Of
all. How sorry we are nobody will
ever know. Our offense is being pro-
America, and Mr. Morris is not in
sympathy with that kind of senti-
ment. His sympathy is with Hofs-
tede, Emma Goldman, Germany and
Prussian autocracy. He is of that
class who rejoice at the sinking of
the Lusitania, and are glad when
Mexican bandits slaughter American
women and children. He believes
President Washington was a drunk
ard, that patriotism is a delug ion,
that all men Except such as agree
with his distorted and abnormal polit-
ical deas), are hypocrites and crooks.
and that Eugene v. Debs, Emma
Goldman, or the editor of the Appeal
to Reason would make ideal presidents
of this nation That Mr.. Morris does
: not like the Republican is no surprise
to Us; we are glad he don't, but We
very much doubt that we have cd
rupt'' his morals and religion, for of
religion he has none. and of moral
hardly enough to brag about.
He is right about stopping his
paper. But he was paid in advance
to June, 1917, and we told him we
would mai! it till his time was out,
and to this he assented, but the Re-
publican was evidently too much for
our friend, who is plainly much dis
tressed over the fact that we are loyal
to our country and against its enemies.
And we hope an a,l-wise Providence
visits us with deserved calamity if
the day ever comes when we run a
paper that, in Mr. Morris opinion, is
not "a durty sheet, that ..corups his
morals and is against his reliegin. y
| 1DCOIlsIloAslY WI pays lIt
Clearwater Republican very high
compliment, and for that reason we
give his letter publicity Ordinaril,
paying attention to men of Morris
size would be like shooting fieas witt
gatling guns. The Almighty made
them for the same reason that HI
created feas, and their relation to 1
community is about the same as ;
flea bears to dog.
In reviewing the Chautauqua thu
D Republican overlooked one of the mos
. loyal local workers, and we take on
. first opportunity to make amends
We refer to Miss Hulda Anderson VIII,
, served as secretary of the local Chau
tauqua organization, and and rendere'
r service that had much to do will
D the success of the undertaking. Tn,
t secretary must do lot of real work
r and Miss Anderson did that, devotinl
: every spare moment for some tw
+. weeks. And there was not even on
e admission ticket as compensation.
