The last Idaho legislature was in
control of real farmers. The farm
ers of the state had lobby at Boise
headed by Mr.. Scholtz, then Farm
Market man of the state, and the
legislature passed every bill that
Echoltz, representing the organized
farmers of our state, asked for. 1t
was for this that Governor Alexan-
der fired Scholtz. Now who Is to
blame II the farmers did not get all
they wanted? T. ]. LaForest, who
represented Clearwater county In
the legislature, voted every time on
the side Of the farmers; he support
ed Scholtz every turn in the road,
and the record will bear out this
assertion. Is Mr.. LaForest to be
condemned II the farmers failed to
get all they wanted? II Scholtz had
asked for q tin rooster painted red

SHERIFF PETER SHEA.

1t has never been our privilege to
know a finer public Official than
Peter Shea, now serving as sherin
Of Clearwater county. We are sure
no one who knows this officer, and
has watched his work as an officer,
will question our statement that as
sheriff he is the nearest 100 per
cent. efficient Of any man we have
ever known. To start with Peter
Shea is absolutely on the square. 1t
there is faint of the petty, unfair
spirit that is for giving any one,
rich or poor. high or low, the best
of it, or the worst of it, we have
not detected it in Mr.. Shea. II he
had the selection of q jury to try
his worst enemy he would pick an
honest, fair-minded jury. If he were
called upon as sheriff to gather evil
dence against the meanest outlaw
on earth, he would not stoop to one
dishonorable thing. Nor will he
permit others, were the attempt
made to influence him. to prosti-
tute his office.
Some weeks ago the writer, dis
cussing the case of stranger UNI
der arrest, remarked that no doubt
the poor fellow was afraid lhe would
not get square deal among
strangers. Quick as a fash Sheriff
Shea exclaimed: We'll, as long as
/ am sheriff a stranger will get a
square deal in Clearwater county,"
Peter Shea grew up lumber
jack He is man who has seen
the tough side Of life, and been one
of the common toilers. He knowsthat
beneath the rough exterior of many
q tough looking logger is heart
that beats true, and that honor and
manhood are not always clothed in
tailormade suits. He knows that
rugged honesty and true manhood
are the ruling elements in q man
that is man, and despises mean
ness. trickery and dishonesty.
Among people who know Peter
Shea he stands four square, and 1t
f. most fortunate that man Of this
type, eminently qualified for the po-
sition. is on the job in our county.
And he is enforcing the law 50
well and impartialy that there is
not the least sign Of any violations.
Nowhere is there any attempt at
bootlegging, there is no violation Of
our gambling laws, and when the 1.
w. w. were on the rampage he held
them in check in the lumber camps
around Elk River. For among the
men in the woods who know Sheriff
Shea 1t Is well understood that he
is fearless, and would face q mob
without batting an eye. They know
that as long as Shea is sheriff 1t is
not healthy to start trouble.
/ Is 1t not matter of more than
ordinary pleasure to be able to say
these things truthfuly Of q public
officer? We think SO. and see nc
reason for not saying them altho II
is generally the case that the only
time we hear anything about our
public servants 1t is in the way OF
criticism. II we condemn them fol
their inefficiency, we should be as
ready to praise them for their eff.
cheney.

The conviction Of the I. w. w. at
Chicago. with Old Bill Haywood at
the head, is the best piece Of news
we have read in many day. 1t
has been q sad commentary on
American law and q blot on the
American people that they have per-
mitted this notorious criminal and
traitor to operate without little or
no molestation. Haywood should
have been hanged for the Steunen-
berg murder; he should have long
since been made to respect the law
and behave, or be handled; he has
been trouble-maker. an industrial
disturber. public enemy. and at
the outbreak of the European war
sided with the Huns to paralyze in
dustry in the United States. This
man was the leader Of the criminal

under the mask of labor; and these
leaders were caught with the goods
and are guilty beyond any doubt.

is necessary only to read the /. w.
