TRUTH is MIGHTY


TRUTH is MIGHTY
The state of Washington has arrived AT
one fortunate stage. Ii i no longer nee
essary to send large sums Of money to the
east TO advertise the wonderful resources
and advantages of this splendid country.
Hundreds Of editors and Others who have
the entire 10 the columns Of eastern news
papers, are coming here spying out the
land, and all of them write TO their home
papers concerning this country in the
most iiattering way and yet none of them
are able 10 say too much, or even enough.
Even the most curSory inNes ,igation eN-
hibts to any man Of discernment the fact
that Mashngtou's possibilities are
far beyond those OF any other
state in the Union The equable and
genial climate ia which sunstroke ana
freezing are alike unknown; the comfort
and health resulting therefrum. our VAST
forests OF timber. fertile agricultural dis
trict. rich mines Of precious metals, Nasi
deposits oicoal and iron. numerous and
multiplying railroads, glorious inland sea
navigs0'r at al seasons for the greatest
ships. deep ana hrauJilui rivers and
numerous other advantages and attrac-
tions ave 10 be- s,'en az a glance aud inspire
men and women 20 write home aud talk
about them Thus today all countries
are flooded With literature about Wash
ington.

Every issue of the HEBAIp could be-
filed with the excellent things which are
being said in our eastern exchanges about
Washington. aud without special effort
on the part Of our own people Washing
ton is today the best advertised country
on earth. on the principle that truth
is mighty and will prevail the facts con
corning Washington are becoming we'll
known, aud only facts are given 20 far a.
We have observed. There j. no exaggera-
tiOn and no need Of any The truth l.
good enough. As a result OF what Is
being said immigration, which has been
very large the last two years is growing in
volume all the time. and il seems
to be Of the best CLASSES Of people. Loafers
and ne'er-do-wells do not trust them
selves so far from home 20 a great extent.
and hence the men " no are coming hither
are for the most part those who mean
business, men. II not always of ample
means, at least Of energy aud pluck. in
tegrity and earnestness. and that is the
material which makes good citizenship
and which causes the wilderness TO bloom
"a garden.
Aside from the work Of advertising
Washington which Is being done
spontaneously. adyantageously and
unanimously By our visitors. the
press Of Washington Is work
ing wonders in the same way. No
state In the union has a more Intelligent
or enterprising press than that Of Wash
ington. Some OF the states have more
newspapers but they are not-Outside Of
the great cities-equal to the press Of
Washington. and even in the matter Of
great dailies those which are better in
the Union than some Of the dailies OF
Washington may be- counted on the fin
gers without visiting any one finger more
than once in the process There Is not a
greater paper on the Pacific coast Than
the Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle
and it, local contemporary. the
Press Is sumner. In Tacoma
