The administration has taken Il
queer notion to consolidate theWash-
ington Territory Internal Revenue
district with that of Oregon. 1t
seems to be strange move to leave
us with district all these years and
then tack lis on to Oregon Just as the
country is developing 50 rapidly and
our needs of revenue officers are en-
larging beyond the ability of those
in that service to supply. Perhaps a
ray of common sense may yet enter
the heads of those pulling the wires.
and the change may not be made. af
ter all. If it is, however, a rousiny
petition should be sent on setting
forth our rights and the universal de-
sire of the people to have them.

An investigation of the Ludlow
street Jail in New York has revealed
nearly as gross abuses as fiourished
in the Terksbury Almshouse. In
fortunate prisoners who have no
money are east into foul cells and
fed on garbage, while wealthy crimi-
mails enjoy all the comforts of first
class hotel, with an amount of liberty
which is accurately gauged by the
fees they pay. 1t is high time that
this institution was thoroughly
purged. Several years ago, when
Red Leary," the burglar, was cap
tttred, he was lodged in this jail. He
was allowed TO hold regular levees
and one evening he gave IA dance.
which was attended by several cour
tesans. Soon after this accomplished
criminal escaped by cutting his way
through the party wall of the iail
othe house adjoining, which some
of his friends rented for the purpose.
The management of the jail was
severely criticised then, but as the
wardenship has always been politi-
cal Office. sufficient '.infiuencen was
exerted in high municipal quarters
to save his head. 1t is to be hoped
that the present investigation may re-
form this disgrace to the Eastern
metropolis.

In Iowa this year the republicans
put prohibition plank in their plat
form. and serious doubts are enter
tanned as to their ability to carry the
state, because it alienates large ele-
ment from the party. The demo
crats. Of course, are only too glad to
espouse the opposite side. As prohi
bition carried in Iowa last wear bv
about 10000 majority, it is difficult
to understand what grounds there are
for fears of republican defeat on that
score. The prohibition sentiment
seems to have largely predominatcd
IN the republican ranks of that state.
and it was certainly proper to EN-
body the wishes of such large ma
jority of the party in the state plat
form.

commerce follows the seas, or vegetation
grows upon the land.
Today. standing upon the most west
ern verge of the continent we meet TO re-
Joice over the creation and perpetuation
of Il free government that is ruled by
rulers of our own choice. With its ter
ritory sufficient to afford homes and sus-
tenance for the civilized world; with its
citizen army able to defend it against
foes without or enemies within, and with
its commerce extending over every sea,
protected by gallant navy.
These are but the commencement OF
the development of the material forces
and wealth or this people that must con
tlnue to build up under the guiding hand
OF an overruling Providence this great re- |
public as one of the most liberal, pros
porous and powerful nations of the earth;
nation that always has been, and shall |
continue to be, the asylum of the OPP |
pressed and the home of the free.
Judge Story in an address delivered !
at Boston on the 4th of July, 1925, used
the following eloquent language and ad-
vice which is as applicable today as it
was apt then, and here repeat them:
Il call upon you fathers,b by the shades
of your ancestors. by the dear ashes that
repose IN this precious soil, by all you
are and all You hope to be. resist every
project of disunion; resist every en-
croachment npon your constitutional
rights, resist every attempt to fetter your
to discourage your public
schools or diminish your places of pub
lie instructions.
