THE GOLDEN RULE.

Dumb Animals: Be kind to the
horse. Don't berate him because he
does something which should not have
been done. Perhaps he had the right
motive, but in his dumb way was un-
able to express it. Perhaps he
wanted to help you, possibly he meant
no evil, though outwardly he seemed
perverse and stubborn. Give him
credit for at least trying to be good,
for there are few horses which are
naturally bad.
Many persons take it tor granted
that when horse does wrong he in
tended to do so, and they therefore
punish him for it. Now this action
only aggravates the matter, and if
continued will result in an incorrig-
ible animal, made so solely from mis-
treatment by his master. This ex-
plains why some horses are bad.
The best policy is to be kind to the
horse. Remember that he is dumb
animal. Don't expect as much under
standing from HIM as you expect OF
men. Remember that of all the ami.
mails which aid men, the horse is the
most useful. Give him credit fol
that. Don't punish him for all the
wrongs he does, for possibly they are
not so intended. Try to put yourseli
in his place, and don't forget that h.
is a slave.
Be kind to him, ard see for your
self if your work does not proceed
more smoothly than ever before. Fol
low the Golden Rule and treat you
horse as you would wish him to trea
you if your positions were reversed
Investigate for once and you will
never say again that kindness doesn :

THE LEAK -

The Leak investigation, if it
did nothing else, disclosed the fact
that some of our higher-ups back in
Washington are Wall Street gamblers,
and that Wall Street keeps stomach
pump constantly on Congress to see
what it is eating. But this is not a
new thing. 1t has been going on
ever since we had congress and
there was Wall Street. There has
always been more or less leak, and
more or less manipulation, and more
or less stacking and marking of the
cards. The country at large is not
hurt one way or the other, for the
whole thing is dog eat dog game
among stock brokers and their
clients, all gamblers on the rise and
fall of stock or commodities that they
do not have, and never see. These
gamblers buy wheat, and sell wheat
in their minds. They bet on the
price at given date, and settle the
difference in cash if they lose. If
they win then the other gambler pays
them the amount of their margin,
representing profits. However, when
member of the presidents cabinet,
or United States senator, or any
publ C official, having inside official
information such as the declaring of
war, the passage of laws or some
measure that will create a shakeup in
business conditions, sending certain
stocks up or down, it is morally
wrong for officials to use this secret
information to enrich themselves.
For example, it is like the governor
of state, having the signing of ap-
preparation bills, the passage of which
will increase property values in a
certain neighbofhood, takirg advan-
tage of his official position to get in
little graft for himself on the deal.
That would not be on the square, any
more than were a governor to accept
money directly for favoring certain
measures. So, after all, if the
"leak' investigation leads to our
national capital. and connects any of
the high public officials, it ought to
convince us that these men will bear
watching, and are unfit to occupy re-
sponsible public positions.

SOME PROHIBITION FACTS.

Science has demonstrated that al
cohol is narcotic and not stimu-
liant, and that alcohol has absolutely
no food value whatever. Congress-
man Hobson said in congress- 1T is
dehydrating, protoplasmic poison
and its use should be restricted the
same as any other poisonous drug. -
During the Boer war the English gov
eminent discovered that the low vital
ity of it's soldiers was due to the use
of alcohol, and Immediately began a
movement that has succeeded in max
ing the English army one of the most
temperate in the world. The German
Emperor alarmed at the raids of al.
cohol, has personally urged his sol
diers and sailors to cease drinking
even beer.
English insurance companies, in
vestigating the death rate of various
classes of people, have announced
that in a group of 81, 2l5 average peo-
pie, 1000 die annually; 6l,2 total
abstainers, $50 die annually and of
61,2l5 liquor drinkers l,642 die an
nually.
Or, in other words, the death rate
for the three classes is as follows :,
Average death rate 81. SO to the 900
Total abstainers 9. Ia to the |, 900 and
of the liquor drinkers 26.S2 to the
1000.
Kansas is conceded to be the driest
state in the Union. The death rate
there before the advent of prohibition
was II to the 1000. Now it is 7.5 to
the l,000-the lowest in the world.
The Brewers Year Book for 1911,
which is certainly not giving prohib-
ition any of the best of it, says Kan
sas has no per capita consumption of
liquor, while Wisconsin, in 1911, con-
sumed 64.51 gallons of liquor per
capita. When liquor advocates say
that there no more liquor sold in pro-
hibition states than in licensed
states, ask them to explain these
figures.
German investigators are authority
for the statement that 80 per cent of
people who die of heart disease are
liquor drinkers. Alcohol burns out
the system and sends it's victims by a
short cut to the grave.

CONSISTENCY.

Consistency, thy name is Nose
September 8, 1915, in public speech
at Star, Idaho, Nose said:
we have prosperity that the
world has never seen. l am glad to
say that we are enjoying such pros
perity. There is no people on earth
that have anything like we have.
A few minutes later in the same
speech Nose waved his arms and
shouted:
when you and l pay our taxes this
fall, with the scarcity of money thru
out the world, with this war waging,
you will find it harder to pay your
taxes this fall than you have in the
last twenty years.
And moment before we were ZEN
joying such prosperity as the world
had never seen. The facts of the
matter were that the people of Star,
Idaho, were being stuffed with politi-
cal bunk by the biggest political fakir
the country ever saw.

GOVERNOR is POWER MAD.

Weiser Signal: A grave situation
confronts the people of Idaho in the
demands being made upon the legis-
lature to grant the power to the gov
ernor to remove sheriffs and county
attorneys at will and also to remove
subord mates in the different depart
ments of state at his pleasure.
The reasons given for this danger
Gus departure are that Governor
Alexander wants to enforce the pro-
hibition law and must have power
over steyiffs and attorneys if he is to
succeed, and in case of subordinates
in the offices of his appointees he de-
sires to keep in the employment of
the state only those who are in har-
mony with his views and loyal to his
administration. This all sounds we'll,
but those best acquainted with the
governor see in the moves only an at
tempt to crafty his insatiate greed
for power.
His elevation tn office has lead the
chief executive to the belief that he
is about the only man in the state of
Idaho with sense enough to run the
affairs of state and he is restless un-
der the least restraint. The least
sugg, stion on the part of one of his
subordinates that the governor might
be mistaken in some of his ideas is
equivalent to treason in his estimation
and regardless of the qualificati ons
of the individual, an official would
fall in the basket if he had his way.
There are many things the governor
of Idato does not know, but he is SO
hard to convince of this fact that to
give him the power to remove at will
those who might differ from him
would throw the state into con-
slant turmoil and weaken the effici
ency Of every department.
The desire to remove sheriffs and
attorneys is not because the governor
is losing an particular sleep over the
enforcement of the prohibition law
there is plenty Of evidence of this
fact but because he wants to builC
up a powerful machine and next t.
having game warden in each count,
to look after his interests a sheriff
and attorney to perform his bidding
would be just to his liking. HI
would be dictator in fact then ant
his spreaders would be at work day
and night all over the state.
Our Democratic Legislators woulo
better have care lest they be hois
by the governor petard.

The Clearwater Republican, pub

When did the Clearwater Republican
"knock' its town? What did it
knock? Quote the article that justi-
fes this charge. The Herald is
democratic sheet that thinks all there
is down here at Orofno is the old
Bake machine, which used to deliver
a solid democratic majority. The Nez
Perce Herald is the one paper in all
of Idaho that has expressed regrets
over the downfall of the old gang in
Clearwater county, or, to put it a
little palmer, has accused the Repub-
lican of knocking Orofno when
this paper has exposed political rot
tenness. The Herald has, in other
words. objected to an exposure of its
friends. 1t has objected to an ex-
posture of such deals as the Nease
cruise, the loaning of county funds
without interests to the county, the
paying for bridge plans, the various
CRAFTS the lack of law enforcement,
the farce of county government, and
!. has called the Republican a
''knocker' when it dug into these
