A young woman got on the train at Pom

cradle reluctance to travel.
Don't lose DOM" shouted her friends

The train was moving off, but more
goodbys were waited to the pug, who
snarled aud showed the whites of his eyes,
and objected to going into the car.
But one passenger pulled him in at the
fore and another pushed on him aft, and
the young woman "dearied" and cooed
over him, and he was finally landed, sulky
and stiff, in a seat in the drawing room
car.
When the conductor came around he saw

Slavin has been doing something
something since he has been in this
country to relieye the perturbation Of
the immigration department, and a
dilemma into which that very aimable
yet distinguished body had been
thrown. The department was unable
to decide whether prize fighter is an
artist or laborer. In the case Of Sla-
win, which raised the discussion, it
would look as if he was considerable
of an artist. He did not have to labor
much to have science and taste to
preside over the manual execution of
his skill. He proved to Col. Kilrain
and his hackers that he was an artist,
and it took very little labor to do it.

He WEAKENED

1t had been quite interesting to
watch the fight of Senator George, Of
Mississippi, for reelection. His strug-
gle had attracted national attention,
and despite the fact that he was of the
all wool, terrible and unwashed, never
say-die Democracy, Republicans as
well as Democrats throughout the
country were hoping that he would be
returned to the national senate, for
the reason, so far as Republicans were
concerned that there is no chance for
a Republican to be chosen, and by both
Democrats and Republicans because
he was making brilliant fight against
the vagaries of the "pied" party. The
election, however, does not come off
for some months yet, and in the mean
time George has succumbed, weak
ened, backed-dOwn and fluked, and now
the praise that was his belongs to him
no longer, and the attention he had
attracted is devoted to something
more important. Lite dispatches say
he has practically endorsed everything
the "pidies" demand, and thus he
has at once forfeited all claim for SYM
pathy, and has fallen from the posi-
tion of statesman fighting for prin-
ciple to the level of a mere political
demagogue seeking office. The excep-
tion he makes of the sub-treasury is
not sufficient. He might just as well
take the whole hog, and "hog" is a
term that is used advisedly and not
platitudinously, in this connection.
II, hereafter, politicians shall be
compelled to throw to the winds their
principles and, as in this case, submit
in advance proposed utterances, it is
high time TO demand the abolition of
that kind Of politics The country
cannot afford to tolerate such things
Senator George is no longer a national
figure, he is a common politician.
They have looked up the record OF
the president OF the Tennessee Alliance
and find that he used to be a Repubi

Hamilton Herald: Parties holding
acreage property in the vicinity Of Ham
ilton should awaken to a realization of
the fact that the tendency is to place too
great a value upon unimprOved land for
sale. Moderate prices, not as compared
with the prices asked by a neghbor, but
as common sense would dictate for I'M
improved land, would induce a demand
for small tracts about the town that
would enhance the value Of every remain
ing acre, and build up community OF
producers, the most desirable class. The
Herald has firm faith in the ultimate
great value of every foot of farming or
fruit land in the Skagit valley, but in
many instances the vision must penetrate
far into the future to see in the land the
real value that is attached to it by It's
owners. Prices paid for townsite pur-
poses in few instances have inflated the
estimate of values beyond the real condi-
tions of our development

THE NOOKSACR VALLEY

Nowhere on the face of the earth
today is there a country of greater
possibilities, in an agricultural way,
that the NOoksack valley, a region
dying north of Bellingham bay. south
of the British line, east Of the Sound
and west of the Cascade mountains,
being a large part of Whatcom county,
and, alta rough estimate, about forty
miles square. 1t contains many
thousand acres of soil as rich as pos
-sible, not to be too rich; it is, for the
most part, covered with a dense
growth of timber and brush, with an
occasionally ranch or village. A
great deal of the land needs drainage,
and then after it is cleared, it can be
made prolific garden. 1t is adapted
peculiarly to the raising of fruit, hops,
grain and grass, and with the prevail
ing climate Of this region, failure Of
any Of its crops would be impossible
But what it needs is good roads, and
without these it will remain as it is,
largely a wilderness. A few days ago
1he editor of the HERALD visited
Lynden, one of the best villages ia the
Nooksack valley. 1t is a beautiful
place. located charmingly and health
fully on high ground beside the Nook
sack river, but to reach the place the
casual traveller must 90 large part
of the way on a blackboard over the
worst roads that have, probably, ever
been seen, on comparatively level
ground, on the face Of the earth.
But good wagon roads alone would
Lead TO such a development of this
region as would astonish every be-
holder who has seen it as it is now,
and that development would so enrich
the county that the increased valua-
-fion would far more than pay for the
roads by taxation in very little time,
Those roads should be constructed
as rapidly as possibly and they would
actually be a money making scheme
for the county.
In this connection we desire to say
so the very smart Whatcom papers
that are indulging in fancied sharp
.flings at the HERALD because of its
advocacy of good county roads, pre-
bending to see in this inconsistency,
as compared with its position in the
late election that involved the ques-
tion of bonding for road construction,
that the HERALD has not word to
take back on that proposition. 1t was
right then just as it is right now, and
the people Of the Nooksack valley
Know we'll enough who were the
enemies OF that region in that cleo
fiop. Under the assessment, Fair
haven would have been forced to pay
considerably more than half of the

Democracy works for the future, for
itself. Democracy knows that enlight-
ment eclipses it, and hence Democracy
doesn't like education or anything to
be derived from it. For that reason
even Democratic newspapers are sell
dom supported and our distinguished
exchange, the Seattle Telegraph, has
lately complained that it has had to
do its work for its party gratis-that
is to say, the work that it
ought to be paid for by the Demo
cratic organization. Appropos; Two
Democratic governors have vetoed
compulsory educational bills, and one
Democratic legislature has refused to
pass one This is certainly far-seeing,
and unless something is done to count
eract the effects of this, those states
will not be doing their duty by their
children.

The obese prophet of the DemOc-

office, probably views with some alarm
the Fuller boom for the presidential

the creation should become greater
than the creator in this instance, it
would be appalling to the stuffed
prophet.
