inclined to let Mr. Kaufman alone,

1t is mighty important whether that

important whether our county at

tant whether the Clearwater county
sheriff is competent to cope with a
great big job at time like this.
Today we should rise above party,

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
CLEARWATER COUNTY?

What is the matter with Clear
water county? In population we
are not less than one-third Of the
census of four years ago. People
have been moving away, and few
new ones coming in to take their
places What is the matter? The
war, of course, accounts for consid-
cradle the past year. but not all by
a great deal. Many families, not
Tor war, but for business reasons.
Tor something to do, have pulled up
and left Some of our farmers have
left. All told we are far short of
the population our county had some
months back. In truth our county
is ore of the very few in Idaho that
is going backwards; that is not in,
creasing in wealth and population.
Yet we are a wonderfully rich dis
trict; our land is selling far cheap
er than is the same grade of land In
nearby counties, and our possibili-
ties are greater by far than any
adjoining county All over the
country farm land is in big demand
and there is much buying at fine
prices. But the crowd is not COM

when we seek for reason we find
the live towns have live boosters al
work making a noise; the CONNER
cial club is busy: the newspapers
are supported, and are supporting
the towns. Industries are being de-
veloped, employment is being open

being encouraged to invest. In

The real trouble between the Oro-
fino Tribune and Attorney John r.
Becker lies in the fact that Mr..
Becker is too much for the gang.
They can't put anything over him!
They cant scare him, or bluff him.
and they can't dent him when he
experts records. His work in the
Nease cruise case is a fair sample
of the thoroughness with which At
torney Becker digs into a case. II
l. R. Crow told the truth he would
say I'VE hate John R. Becker be-
cause he has always stood in the
way and interfered with the graft
ing schemes of our gang" OF course
they hate Mr.. Becker, and abuse
him. But have you ever read one
line in the Tribune, with all its
abuse of Mr.. Becker that was spe-
cific one line that would give any
excuse for the slurs and SANDER?
They have called him timber tool.
Have they shown where he has ever
served anyone but the people of
Clearwater county? If Mr.. Becker.
as he has right to do, has ever
acted as attorney for any corpora
ton. tell us what he did that was
in any way unprofessional, or IN
the least questionable? And yet this
abuse of Mr.. Becker was going on
when we came over four years ago,
and has never ceased. When Mr.
Becker won a notable victory over
graft for the people in the Nease
case, and earned the praise of the
people of the county. the Tribune
turned loose an unusual lot Of abuse
of most bitter nature. of a most
cowardly and slanderous nature
What for? Well, Mr.. Becker has
committed the objectionable crime
of lighting graft in behalf of the
taxpayers. Why shouldn't he BIT
J abused and slandered?

Red Color Of Patriotism.

It may be only coincidence or 1t may
be that some deep-seated reason lies
behind the fact that red Is by far the
most predominant color in the flags
of the ~-e=eN There ia only one lag
In EuroIsr ssat does not contain red,
and thai n the standard Of Greece.
After rr1, -. Is the most frequently
found flag color, but great number
of flags s@-, entirely red except that
they bear SYMBOLIC devices Of one kind
or anotkss Thus the flags Of EGYPT,
Morocco, Austria-Hungary and Japan
are all red, while no fewer than forty
two other countries display red freely
In their banners. Red, by common con-
sent, Is supposed to stand for val0r
and bravery; blue represents justice,
while white, as everybody knows,
stands for purity.

Have Patience.

How can working together be made
as happy and as efficient as pOssible7
BY eliminating pride and self-seeking.
When we seek only the good Of others
and seek nothing for ourselves we are
not likely to meet with any incon-
solable disappointments. BY not ex-
pecting too much Of others and by
learning to smile to ourselves without
malice or wrath when we see weak
nesses In others. By not being too
rigid and insistent. We need to re-
member how patient God Is. He has
waited a long time for many things
and seems willing to wait as long as
may be necessary. II we will be like

The Farmers Union of Walla

In a strong set of resolutions brand

Evidently the farmers are not all
blind. At Dayton In Columbia
county, Wash, the council of de-
Tense has forbid the Non Partisan
organizers to solicit members until
they have appeared before the coun-
Gil for investigation. Our guess is
that it will not be long before the

ment of the loyal citizens Of this

We hope Japan takes up the bur-
