WHERE HE WAS.

A Democratic exchange, with trifle of
sarcasm in its makeup, rises to inquire,
''Where was John H. McGraw during the
war;"
He was in the loyal state of Maine do
Ing what boy could do to assist in the
mother. He was IL years OF age when the
war began and Is years Of age when it
ended.
He was loyal boy, his home was in q
loyal state and the ideas which he imbibed
while the great struggle for the Union was
in progress were those of loyalty and
patriotism.

stances the strike is no longer an effective
weapon to bring employers to terms. 1t
costs labor, even when successful, more
than il brings. By the Reading strike in
1883, according to Brsdstreet's, the money
losses were: To the employees in wages.
81, go, 600; to the Reading company, 81. 0O,-
600; to consumers in increased price OF
coal, 500, 600, making total of S. 30, 900,
exclusive of losses TO private collieries and
other concerns. When the act providing
for arbitration was under discussion before
Congress it was shown by statistics that
up to that time $13,5oOOo0 was lost in
wages by strikes. The loss to general bus
mess interests must have been as much
more. Of the total number of strikes only
% per cent. were successful, while 10 per
cent. were compromised. The remainder
failed.
Mr.. George considers that labor unions
are valuable as educational forces, and
when well organized and intelligently led
help TO resist the downward pressure
upon wages without resort to coercive or
forcible measures. bat he holds that the
strike is q weapon that is weak today to
effect its purpose and is destined in the
natural drift Of public opinion to grow
weaker every year. because it cannot sue
coed without violence and with violence 1t
will not be tolerated by the law and the
public opinion that law represents.
Mr.. George therefore sees no help for
labor longer in the strike, and he con-
cludss that ''the only hope for organized
labor is in digging down to the radical
causes OF industrial disease and uprooting
them by means of the ballot"

No Brainier Man.
Everett Herald.

There 10 NO brainier man in any party In the
state Of Washington than John MeGraw. He
has come to the front in business aud politics
solely BY his own efforts, and today stands the
peer OF any man. Mr.. McGraw has the benefit
OF . successful career. with the admitted fact
that his word is a. good Is his bond. either In
business or politics. Another qualification that
has endesred him to Thousands Of people all
over the state IN that he always stands by his
friends, and keeps his promises through thick
or thin. The governors chair Of this great
state has not and II not likely to have an occu-
pant who would bring to the position more
ability and dignity than would Mr.. McGraw.

Pierce County Should BE Satisfied.
Toroa Etnho

Pierce county is just now engaged in kicking
like bay steer because at Olympia the nomina-
tions for governor and three or four other Offices
did not fall into the net that was spread BY her
willy manipulators. The trouble was that at
the time strong political wind was blowing
down Sound, and when the eloQuence OF Hon.
Patrick Henry Winston and the Hon. Mr.. Bur-
leigh shook the convention tree, some of the
fruit blew over to King. With one Of the ocn-
gressmen and secretary Of state, IL would seem
that Pierce should be satisfied, especially when
every other county in the state, except Spokane,
that was recognised at all, had 70 be content
