Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney
on the Republican Ticket.

For many months prior to the pri-
mary election Mr.. Huebener was urg-
ed to become candidate for the office
of prosecuting attorney and was fin
ally prevailed upon to accept the nom
ination. He was born in Wisconsin
and received his earlier education in

night section of the law department
worked in various lines of office work,
chief of which was in one of the best
law offices in Minneapolis, and was
admitted to the practice of law in the
state of Idaho in 1904, since, since
which time he has continuously made
Idaho his home. In 1905 he was called
from the practice of law to take the

experienced because of the prosecution

furnished for this and all the other
heavy work of the ranch, water will
be pumped and lights furnished for
the sheep sheds. A line has been con-
structed to the Wertman tract, where
pump will be installed and waste
water utilized.
Several men and teams are at work
on the roads in different parts of our
road district and more help is want
ed. The demand for men and teams
on the ditch and the necessity of do
ing all the farm work possible during
the fine weather, makes it very hard
to get work done on the roads. We
all realize the Importance of good
but it cannot be accom-
plished without men and teams.

of the officials of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. Upon resigning
this position he was called upon to be-
come secretary of the Idaho Commits
sion to the Alaska Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, and because of his work
the commission was able to return a
part of an all too small appropria-
ton to the state treasury. Thereaf-
ter he re-engaged in the practice of
his profession in Boise, with the ex-
ception of brief time that he acted
as secretary to former Senator Brady
at Washington. In the spring of 1917
he established his practice in Emmett.
In 1912 he was admitted to practice
before the Federal Courts and in 1914
he was admitted to practice before the
highest court in the land, the United
States Supreme Court, certificate
from that court being held by only a
few attorneys in Idaho.
AS a student of criminology while
at the penitentiary, he has
gained a knowledge which will be
most valuable as prosecutor, but be-
lieves that the taxpayers can be saved
money if hopeless pro-
secutions are not conducted, and has
pledged himself to only prosecute such
cases as are reasonably GER
tain of convictions, and to conduct the
business of the office on the most eco
nomical basis consistent with eff
cheney.
Owing to being engaged in war
work he has not attempted to make an
extensive campaign, and is relying
upon the voters of Gem county for
their wholehearted support, and mer-
It's their confidence.

HAWTHORNE'S HALUCINATION

AS though it was not disgrace and humili-
alton enough for the citizens Of Seattle to
give "Kunnel'' Hawthorne the large vote
they did, still yet the ''Kunnel' comes for
ward and adds insult to injury by intimat-
ing in public address had the soldier boys
cover there" had had an opportunity to
vote in the late election he would have been
elected to Congress. Just why the soldier
boy would have voted any different over
there than they have always done or vote
any different than did their fathers, moth
ers, brothers, sisters and wives, is one of
the things the flowery tongued orator failed
to elucidate and in the absence of any
prima facie evidence from the ''Kunnel' to
the contrary we do not believe they would
have and he would have been beaten just as
badly, if not worse had the soldier vote
been cast The fact Of the whole matter is
the ''Kunnel'' was in the right church, but
the wrong pew Unlike the state from
whence "Kunnel'' Hawthorne came, Wash
ington state dsfranchises none Of it's citi-
zens. Despite the fact the political senti-
ment of the state has always been over
whelmingly Republican, yet no laws have
been passed by any of the various legisla-
lures Of this state having for their objects
the hindering or handicapping of any po-
litical ism inenemical to Republicanism The
state OF Washington is made up, for the
most part, of broadgaged patriotic citizens,
who dsdam to shoot a man in the back or
kick the fellow already down, regardless of
his race or color, hence the inuendo on the
part of the "Kunnel' that the legislature
failed to provide for the casting of the SOL
dier vote because it was overwhelmingly Re-
publican and the members thereof feared
the soldier boys out Of the state would sud-
denly embrace Democracy and cast their
votes for Democratic candidates, is ridicu-
lous and likewise absurd. But why say more
on the subject for the inuendo is so silly and
inconsistent that it is absolutely damphool-
dom, and may be classed as but another po-
litical post mortem, explaining how it hap
pened You were defeated 'Kunnel," be-
cause you were Democrat from the South
and Of the same stripe Of those southern
Democrats who forced President Wilson to
commit political indiscretions that were
wholly responsible for the defeat of the Dem
ocratic party all over the North at the late
general election. It will ever be thus with
you, my dear "Kunnel," until you have
been regenerated and born again.
All precedent is to be broken and Pres-
dent Wilson is to leave the country while he
is yet president thereof. Nobody save the
president himself and his wife can see any
good he can accomplish by participating in

So far as the outside world is concerned
that North Carolina mob cooled down in
twenty-fou hours after it had done it's
bloody work, but "Kunnel'' Hawthorne the
editor hereof, and others who have lived in
the South know that the colored citizens
are still being kicked and cuffed about and
perhaps killed. Instead Of cooling down in
twenty-four hours those southern Huns rave
like mad dogs for weeks.

THE PASSING THRONG
Rv Won and

Four members Of the Seattle Negro Bus-

noon, which one more than were pres

course there no business transacted at
either meeting At the last meeting how
ever, motion prevailed that the secretary

The above organization has been running
in way ever since it began, year and
half ago and the ten promoters have spent
something like $3.50 on it with the hope Of
stimulating an interest among the cOlOred
citizens of Seattle in establishing business
enterprises and patronizing the same, but
the appeals have fallen on deaf ears and ap-
parently we have fully made up our minds
that to be a success we must tread the wine
press alone, and so we say "every fellow
for himself and the devil take the hinder
most one.'
1t is very doubtful if more than one col
ored firm in Seattle has business rating.
In other words, to consult Bradstreet or
Dun business directory for the rating would
be like going to a goat house for lambs
wool True you may be selling enough over
your counters to give you living, but
you are without commercial standing and
therefore can never do, but little more
than you are now doing.
1t was the object of the League to over
come this handicap and have the colored
business man recognized by the business
world. If any of the promoters had any
selfish motive in trying to perfect this or
ganizaton it never showed up, but after
painful struggle for existence it is now face
to face with life or death with the odds

There will be no union Thanksgiving serv-
ice in Seattle this year among the colored

combatted by any of the church organiza-

other to take the initiative in the matter.

bound to lead and if success is ever to fol-
low, neither Of these the average colored
citizen of Seattle recognizes.
Approximately the Seattle branch Of the
National Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People has membership Of 200
and yet at it's regular meetings it's the
rarest thing to see a dozen members pres

evening at the Grace Presbyterian Church

least fifty members will be present.

Their Line On Short
Front And Take Some
Important Positions.
By md s Fsxuson.

United Press staff correspondent
With the American Armies in France,
Aus. &-(NigAtl-Ameriean troops
advanced their line 500 meters "a third
of = milel ON a front Of two kilomet-
.ers Ia mile and q quarter) immed-
lately east Of Fsmes today, driving the
Germans from the railroad and can
turing what has been an advantageous
.pOsitioR. As this Is eabled, sharp in
fantry fighting is keeping the whole
Vesle front stirred up, but the hoehe
counter attacks are fruitlesS.
The Americans in the last few days,
have begun a systematic clean up Of
objectionable positions. The tannery
was first taken. Then an attack on
a more pFetentioas scale was launched
this morning.
The boshe had dug in along the
railroad skirting the south bank of the
Vesle, and had established numerous
machine gun nests. The Americans
were in a dip south of the main Sois-
sons Rheims highway. They had to ad-
vance across open country toward the
railway.
A stiff harrage was put down on the
railway at five a. m, the infantry
starting their advance simultaneously.
Quickly they topped the highway and
charged across the open space in the
face Of a terrific machine gun fire.
The attack was so impetuous il sent
the boche arunning. A heavy enemy
barrage was put down on the railway
but the Americans held on.
Only seven prisoners were taken.
One of them, a banker and restaurant
keeper Of the higher class, was forced
TO serve. He had been in the army
a year. He said that all able bodied
men are now compelled to work in war
factories or go TO the front. He said
that soldiers everywhere now realize
their efforts are merely a sacrifice,
One deserter who entered the American
line revealed the straits to which the
German high command had been re
dueed regarding mar power. The de
serter had been previously wounded but
was taken from the hospital and re-
turned to the front before he was fully
recovered.
The Americans now hold the railway
on both sides Of Fsmes. The boche'
are extremely nervous and are constant

contact with the German lines, harass
ing the enemy positions day and night
