BLAKE AGAIN HOLDS UP
NCLEARWATER REPUBLICAN

The United States has always en-
joyed free speech. In this country
the President of the United States
is not exempt from newspaper criti-
cism. Nor has the President of the
United States the power to suppress
an American newspaper from criti-
cising him. however severe the crit
icism may be.
During the present war, as an
emergency war measure to handle
disloyal papers, it took special act
of Congress to confer ON the FEEDER
al authorities the right to suppress
American papers that were clearly
disloyal. w
1t is hardly necessary to remind
our readers that the Republican OF
last issue. October Is, issued Fri
day night. and offered for mailing
Saturday, October 10. was held up
in the Orofino post office till late in
the afternoon of Tuesday, October
%, or four days. And the outgo-
ing mail was not sent out from the
Oro6no post office till Wednesday,
tive days after their delivery to the
Orofino post office. ~
When the Republican was deliv-
cred to James d. Blake, In charge
OF our post Office, he said
You can deposit your papers in
this office but they will not be dis
tributed. l consider them libelous"
The papers were held in the Oro-
fire office ana missed the mail.
We had already wired the Post
Office inspector and was assured the
Orofino post master had no right or
authority to hold UP the papers; he
was entirely wrong, and liable for
his offense. So within a few min
utes after the Orofino post master
had held up" the Republican for
second time we wired the inspector
in charge at Spokane and Monday
morning Post Master Blake was told
by the Spokane postal inspectors to
distribute the Republican. But the
order was disregarded. The papers
were not in the mail and we again
wired Spokane and Tuesday morn
ing second notice was sentsto the
self-appointed censor Of Orofino to
distribute the Republican. This was
Tuesday and the papers were finally
distributed, four days from time Of
delivery.
These are the plain facts. And
another plain fact is that Blake, a
Nugent boss in Clearwater county,
is doing this because the powers at
Washington are supporting and en-
couraging this sort of adjourned
politics." No matter what Blake
does as long as John Nugent is in
the United States senate at Wash
ington Blake will be immune from
the punishment such a display Of
autocratic power warrants.
The people of Clearwater county
are too we'll acquainted with the in
side facts in our county, and with
the workings of the Nugent-Blake
| machine, to need an extended, de-
tailed review of the case. Let 1t be
sufficient that the people who want
| decent things and who are against
this Nugent-Blake machine, go to
the polls November and register a
protest by voting for Frank Good
ing against Nugent. If you ever
expect to put this Blake machine
completely and absolutely out OF
business in our county you have got
to kill 1t at 1t source. Defeat John
Nugent for the Senate.

THE REPUBLICANS

Took the county four years ago
and inherited the $4,000. 90
debt created by the democrats
and heaped on the people. IN
THREE and HALF YEARS, by
good, honest management, the re-
publicans have paid this debt and
at the same time paid all cost Of
running the county. In four years
the republicans have put Clear
water county on
CASH BASIS.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1918-10-25

Jim Blake refused to accept for
mailing or distribution the Clear
water Republican. because 1t was a
holiday, but he did accept and dis
tribute the Orofino Tribune deliver
ed to the Orofino post Office later
the same day. But the Tribune is
supporting John Nugent for United
States senator. That makes some
difference, of course. and gives Jim
Blake's political organ rights and
special privileges that other citizens
of the United States are denied.

Why Is every Blake rounder in
Clearwater county out working for
Joe Molloy? Did Molloy know what
he was talking about when he said
the Blake crowd would deliver their
vote to any candidate the republi-
cans would nominate against Joe
Kaufman?

ROMANCE IN RUsKIN's LIFE
Divergent Religious Views for Long
Time Separated Him From the
Woman He Loved.

In 1866 Ruskin declared his love for
Rosie La Touche and told her parents
of his hope to make her his wife, says
]. Howard Whitehouse in Scribner's.
There was a great difference of years
between them. Ruskin was forty-sev-
en-; Rosie was in her eighteenth year.
There was some natural hesitation on
the part Of the parents, and 1t was ar
ranged that the matter should.be post
poned for three years.
But when the period Of probation
was ended new difficulties arose.
There was hesitation not only on the
part Of the parents, but also by Rosie.
Miss La Touche was Of deeply re-
ligious nature, but her views were or
thodox and she did not share the wider
views on spiritual questions In which
Ruskin increasingly believed.
Her love for him had never wav-
cred since the days Of her childhood !;
but she doubted IL, holding the views
she did, she could marry him. Both
she and Ruskin suffered the deepest
distress.
For a little time there was es-
arrangement, and there Is moving en-
try In Ruskin's diary in the year 1870:
'Last Friday about twelve o'clock at
noon my mistress passed me and
would not speak" In the following
year there was reconciliation.
The end of Ruskin's dream came In
1875. Miss La Touches health never
strong began to fail, and she died In
May Of that year.
