WHATCOM COUNTY AT THE FAIR

Reports come from reliable sources
to the effect that some of the Wash
ingtOn state officials at the Worlds falr
are doing their utmost in the line OF
discriminating against Whatcom coun-
ty, and in spreading false reports about
our resources and population. For
some reason, best known to those who
have had the management OF the
Washington interests at the fair, and
also because of large degree of care
lessness ON our own part, Whatcom
county is not well represented at the
Columbian exposition so far as its
splendid resources are concerned, but
some of its enthusiastic people are visit
ing the fair, and are missing no oppor-
tunity to advertise the county's many
advantages as a residence and business
center. 1t may be relied upon with all
the certainty Of fate, that if any official
of the state prostitutes the opportunities
of his Office to discriminate against any
one section in the interest of another,
the dishOnor of such an act will only
revert to his own disgrace and to the
detriment of the section which such
means are employed to advance.
Whatcom county is certainly the
most promising and perhaps the richest
in resources of the entire state of Wash
ington. The people who visit the fair
and are induced by the exhibits OF
Washington's resources to seek this
state as their future home, will visit the
different counties before selecting a
permanent location, and in doing 50
will undoubtedly not rest satisfied
without viewing the splendid scenery
of Bellingham bay and its adjacent
rural districts. A day spent in this sec
ton will upset all the false reports
which may have been circulated to its
discredit. We are by no means afraid
to stand on our merits for wealth of re-
sources, fertility of soil, facility of trans
portation by rail or water, beauty of
scenery, energy and enterprise of citi-
zenship, internal Improvements and
everything that goes to make up a de-
sirable location either for residence or
business purposes. Let the people of
the East only visit the state of Wash
ington, and we are fully persuaded that
Fairhaven and Whatcom county will
offer as many inducements for loca-
ton as any other part of the state.

In some places a man must pay a poll
tax if be votes, but in Kansas City he
must pay poll tax if he does~not vote.
-Four years ago clause was inserted in
the charter of that city to the effect that
whenever a citizen failed to vote at any
general municipal election he should pay
poll tax of $3.50 This would have been
calculated to make solid citizens take an
interest in municipal government if the
law had been enforced. II was not. how
ever, but the auditor kept a record Of
the delinquents, so that they could be
brought to time if necessary. The de-
linquent taxes now amount to nearly
10000. The city at length sued one of
the delinquents as test case of the con-
stitutionality of the law and gained the
suit. Part of the judges decision was in
these words: II uphold the tax upon the
broad ground that it is in the power of
a state to compel its voters to exercise
the elective franchise, and if state can
do so city is invested with the same
power"

rope several times As a newspaper writer
he welded a trenchant pen, and while al

to be fair. Mr.. Mcdonald is tall and fine

conversation, though not didactic, is made

The Persian mission is not a particularly
attractive post for a diplomat, and when a
man applies for it it is quite certain that
he possesses a taste for travel and adven-
ture. Teheran is reached only after te
dious journey over rough roads by means
of divers forms of conveyance, and even aft
er one gets there he finds very little that is
agreeable to an American except the nov
city, which is about the only thing stran.
ger gets free in any part of Persia But
there is great deal of novelty, and as a
result nearly every minister sent by the
United States to the country of the shah
has made one or more interesting contribu-
tions to magazine literature based upon
his observations.
The shah Of Persia is great present Civ
er, and he is also addicted to the present
receiving habit. IL can therefore not be
money which tempts a man to BECOME the
representative of his country in Persia, fol
the expensive gifts which he is expected to
give the shah in return for the very ori-
nary ones received cut a rather big slice
out of the small annual salary of 5000 at
tached to the position. Outside of the so.
cial duties the minister<has little else to do
but listen to complaints of missionaries
and write accounts of anything interesting
to his government or the magazines
Still many persons have long held to the
opinion that with a representative who will
zealously watch for every opportunity TO
establish intercourse with Persia the Unit
ed States might be greatly benefited by
means of concessions, etc On the other
hand, it must be borne in mind that the
shah word is not valued above par even
in his own country, due to the fact per
haps that while he is always willing TO
grant concessions when in particularly
ecstatic mood he has an embarrassing habit
of revoking whatever he has promised
while the grantee is away on a capital rails
ing mission.
Mr.. Mcdonald is said to be greatly i'm
pressed with the possibilities and resources
Of Persia, and it is probable that within
few months he will shed new light upon
both in his reports to the government.
