BOOSTERS IMPROVE KAMIAH
GRADE

About 25 Nezpercers and like mum
! ber from Kamiah spent Tuesday work
ing on the Kamiah grade and the said
well known piece of highway is in a
more inviting condition for traffic as
the result.
The boys from the prairie took the
upper part of the grade and the valley
lads the lower, and with pick and show
ell and main strength and awkward
ness, removed rocks, filled in ruts,
widencd narrow places and made ditch
es until travel up and down that scenic
way may now be accomplished with the
minimum friction. At the noon hour
the parties from both towns assembled
about midway of the grade, at the
switehback" and together devoured
and enjoyed a feed of about every
thing good to eat, which was well spic-
ed with stories that did not altogether
relate to road building.
In the afternoon the finishing touch
es were put on the work and in this
the Dissmore auto truck played an i'm
portant part in the transportation of
gravel for fills where the worst~washes
were found.
The weather man did his part, pro
viding an ideal day, and, aside from
the improvement the workers made in
the road they had the pleasure of gaz
ing over one of the most belutifll
scenes Nature has painted in all this
scenic country-the Kamiah valley
just as the balmy breath of spring is
about to entice it into full bloom.

LOW GRADE JOURNALISM.

"You farmers are all right. and
nice, honest and good citizens" said
Preus in his Milaca speech, 'but you
are not as smart as I am. I have
discovered that your leaders of the
nonpartisan league are leading you
wrong and you are such darn fools
you don't know any better. If you
will just take my Judgment in this
matter instead of several thousand
farmers who have Joined the league
you will find that the steel trust
will be very much pleased" Of course
he did not say this in the exact words
quoted, but that is what his song-and-
dance spiel meant.-Milaca Times.
No, Cravcns; Mr. Preus did not
make the above statements and you
do not dare say he did. We lcave it
to the reading public to pass Judgment
on man who will stoop to such a
low-down sneaking trick to attribute
to speaker certain remarks that he
did not utter, putting them in quota
ton marks, and then insert a sentence
at the bottom Of his paragraph which
saves the writer from being placed in
a most awkward position.

reached their conclusions.

reached their conclusions.
II have an impression that there
was the accommodation of conflicting
interests, the giving Of something here
to get something there, the yielding
of some things in order to avoid losing
others, the shading of justice by ex-
pediency which has characterized such
conferences since history began. I
have strong impression that some of
their conclusions were mistakes.
''And think it most Objectionable
that the American people shall enter
into a solemn and positive agreement
to guarantee and maintain by force of
arms for all time the dispositions of
territory and sovereignty which these
four men made in the year 1919"
Mr.. Root lists five principal objec-
tions to the league of which the fourth
is-"That the scheme (the league of
nations covenant) created a super
government which would destroy the
independence of the United States"

Thirty thousand American milliners
the Trimmed Hat association-have
selected tam and scarf for presenta-
ton to Mrs. Warren G.. Harding.
While we are not an authority on
women's headgear, we should say,
from a photograph Of the creation,
that it is beautiful in it's simplicity
and particularly becoming to the fea-
lures of Mrs. Harding. We note that
it is a sectional combination of i'm
perial Persian brocade and Scotch
mole with duvetyn bandeau what
ever that may beg, a gold pin, jade
center, etc. The fact that the 5000
members of the association named
contributed to fund for the purchase
of this pretty skypiecc would seem to
indicate that they arc republicans.
We would suggest that the democratic
women of the land now present Mrs.
Cox with a winter hat. To slight her
would, in our opinion, be wrong.

Scotland yard authorities, following
search Of the rooms Of E. j. Costello
in London and the seizure of his cor
respondence, politely handed him de-
portation papers. Costello is manag-

quarters in Chicago, and the British
government is now engaged in an cx-
tensive campaign to rid the country of
men of the Costello stripe. Enemies
of the ent-disscminators of
seditious literature, teachers of radi-
calism and other reds-arc being
rounded up and cast into Jail, or, if
aliens, deported to their native land.
England is determined upon thor
ough cleanup, and the United States
would do we'll to follow suit. Alto
gether too much leniency has been
shown anarchists in this country.
While few have been deported, large
numbers have been permitted to go
free and others pardoned by kind
hearted Professor Wilson.

Shipstead. Let US hold fast to the
liberties guaranteed to us in the con-

for mess Of pottage. Our heritage
is not to be held lightly Is party al

1t is this sense Of hun1or which is but
a sense of the human, an ability to see

balance the personal with the public,

Wonders, especially in the political
world, never cease. Now comes C. d.
O'Brien, lifelong democrat and for
mer mayor of st. Paul, and announces
that he will support Preus and Hard
ing. He says: 81 have no quarrel
with any person in the democratic
party, but believe it is my duty as
a citizen to support the republican
party in this election. The issues are
clear and to me there is but one
course open. Not only shall l vote
for Preus, but l shall also cast my
ballot for Harding in the coming cleo
ton. And there are many other
prominent democrats possibly among
them Frank Day-who will vote as
does Mr.. O'Brien in the coming cleo
ton. They know full we'll that to
vote for Hodgson would only mean
rendering assistance to Shipstead and
that to vote for Cox would be vir-
tually casting it to the winds.
