The laboring class of people have
always felt, and Justly too, that thew
were entitled to occasional recognition
on the county tickets of their plitical
parties. L. j. Morrison, the republi-
can nominee for clerk, is direct rep
resentative of this element, in
recognition OF his qualifications for
any clerical duty. Mr.. Morrison has
ior several years worked in the differ
ent logging camps, and at section
work on the W. S. R. R., and he is
we'll and favorably known among the
men who labor In the woods. If the
iaborlng classes are in earnest, they

THE Sound daily papers recently
noted the arrival of cargo of Mania
mo coal in Seattle and that arrang-
ments for regular shipments are being
made. Our Canadian friends hardly
wait for the ink on the Wilson bill to
dry, before they take advantage of the
opportunities opened to them-of course
these shipments don't take the place
OF the American products of Ameri-

IF j. w. Roberts, the republican
nominee for commissioner of the third
district, is elected, the farming class
will have a representative who knows
their desires and will be alive to their
interests. MIR. Roberts retired from
active work some years ago and came
to Mason county, selecting a spot near
Cape Horn, where he build a neat
home and prepared to stay. Mr..
Roberts has had business experience of
many years and has the ability and
judgment to fulfill his office if elected
His location is such that he could best
look after the needs of the farmers on
Hartstein Island, who are opening up
that section and have many wants
that call for attention. He would
also be convenient to the Little Skoo-
KUN valley and the residents would
be faithfully represented.

made mile in 2:11&. In the same
year Rarus reduced his record to III,
while Maud S. cut it down to 101 in
1881. 1t was not until 1884 that Jay
Eye-See reduced the record to 10,
which was lowered to 81 the same sea-

1t down to 81, and in 1892 Nancy
Hanks scored r. Last year she re-
duced the record to 4, and now Alix

Editorial Notes.
w. r. STEWART.

On the first page will be found an
address by Senator ingalls,, which we
commend to the voters of every politi-
cal faith, especially that portion dis
cussing the responsibility of the peo-
pie for the course of their political
Servants"
ONE of the old officers, and the only
one who had any semblance of right
to be placed on the democratic ticket
again, was Clerk Dunbar. He was
turned down by the gang, because he
would not swallow the nominee for
treasurer, and, like Burbank, informed
the slate-makers that the people would
repudiate the nomination of that
man.
THE JOURNAL has not devoted much
space to the China-Japan embroglio,
over Korea, as slaughter of a mil
lion or SO of the chinese would have a
healthy effect on the remaining mil
lions. The Chinese are now on the
run, the japanese having demonstrate
ed their superiority in both land and
naval battle. Most of the trays so
far have been without great loss of
life. The people of this coast have
little love for the Chinese, beyond
that for humanity's sake, and the peo-
pie of Mason County have little use
for one who gives cinnamon the pre-
ference
The local democratic ticket was
planned (and executed) with the view
of harmonizing the different politi-
cal bosses of Mason County.
all of them more or less chronic office
holders or interested in the county
finances. The rank and file of the
county democracy were not even con-
sidered, for not one nomination can
they point to as having been made for
ability or peculiar fitness of the NOM
lnee, and in recognition of their rights
as taxpayers. Anyone who cares to
scan the ticket closely can place
Its nominees with the faction to which
they incline and it would be we'll to
ask If any of these factions ever con-
sldered the county's best interest be-
fore their own.
The tax payers should canvass the
political field thoroughly this fall, and
the JOURNAL asks every voter to look
at motives AS well as men. When a
party presents itself for your endorse
ment, catechise it. Ask if it was
born of gang OF political ringsters,
whose day is run, but who will not
let go, until forced to. Ask if the in
f1uence behind it is for good or bad,
Ask if its members, if honored with
Office, would be a credit or disgrace
to the community. When the indi-
vidual candidate comes to you for
consideration, ask if he is tax pay
er; if he is popular-with the tax
payers; if he is competent, sober and
Industrious; if he will, in the nature
OF his surroundings, devote his best
efforts for Mason County, and not a
select coterie of ringsters OF any kind.
Remember that the fight, Oh one side,
at least, will be carried on in an un-
scrupulous manner, casting decency
and respect to the four winds. Rem
ember, that a man is known by the
company he keeps, the language he
uses, and the course he pursues.
Remember that "hail fellow well
ment." in a bar room, is not always the
hail fellow we want to do business
with in our County offices, to en-
trust the public veal, or attract the
lnqulring stranger. Be careful how
you cast your ballot.

L. w. SPECIE, the republican candi-
date for commissioner from the dis
trict comprising Shelton and Picker
ing, is the pioneer farmer of the Mason
Lake settlement. He has been road
supervisor, transacting considerable
business with the county, and his per-
sonal work and zeal have much to do
with the road improvement in his
vicinity. He is a pains-taking, con-
sclentlous man, square all round"
with the education and ability to pro-
perry represent this district. He is a
farmer who farms, worker and tax
payer, and will be a worthy successor
to Com. Redenberger. Shelton is con
the ground" and can take care of its
own interests, and the balance of the
district is entitled to representative.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll Of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two thirds Of chronic diseases are due TO
the imperfect action of the nerve centerS at
the base of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake OF physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause of the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated Spe-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 90 years. and has made many important
discoveries in connec tion with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dizziness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St.
Vitus dance, etc.. are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that 1T is based on the foregoing principle.

PROF. G. B. GUNDERsoN, principal
of the Shelton public school, and the
republican candidate for county sup
erintendent, holds a State diploma
from Iowa, and first grade certificate
from this county. He has taken no
examination since 1889, but has serv-
ed on the board of examination
several times since then. His percen-
tage was, we believe, the best made
before any examination board in this
county. He has taught several terms
of school in Pickering and the Wiley
districts, or forty months in the
county, and is highly spoken of by
the people of those districts. AS
principal of the City schools his or
ganization and management are very
satisfactory. That position requires
one familiar with school work, and
should have one who has been in the
County long enough to know its needs
and it's interests.

THE Republicans made no mistake
in the selection of William Callow as
standard bearer this year. Personally
Mr.. Callow is an estimable man,
honorable and upright and not to be
influenced from the path of duty, or
what he believes to be right. There
is no faint of corporation about him
and the common people" of the
county may expect from him the full
consideration of their rights and de-
mands, and he has the ability to ex-
press his ideas. Mr. Callow has spent
the greater portion of his life in
Mason County and he is known to
everyone. Most Of his labor has been
in logging work, of later years IN
operating logging camps. Every lum-
herman who has been in his employ
has good word for his treatment OF
his men, and Mr.. Callow will get a
big share of their suffrages. To the
farmers there is everything to COM
mend him,-he is tax payer, and
has been in the county long enough
to know their interests. AS between
them, or the loggers and the corpora
tons, we know where to find VIM.
Callow. The former classes should be
represented, for the corporations have
the means and the influence to force
their own recognition. Why cry out
against corporations, and then elect
men, like A. H. Anderson, whose
home is in Seattle, to represent this
constituency in the legislature. Mr..
Callow's services as sheriff and county
commissioner are before the voters.
If he has performed those duties
faithfully, guarded the county's in
terests, shown frmness and decision
in what he believed to be right-then
he is worthy of promotion.

We had come to the conclusion that
Senator Higgins would certainly be re.
elected to the United States senate. but
since reading the communications which
we copy from the Morning News and
Every Evening" our view of the matter
has been sadly shaken. 1t seems that
pledges were given by the candidates in
the lower counties prior to the election
and some of those. II not all, who gave
them, have no disposition to take stop
backward.
What the effect will be they must judge
for themselves. as the responsibility will
rest upon them. The skirts of the mem.
bers from New Castle are clear OF any
bargain. and Mr.. Hig gins will have no
occasion to complain of ingratitude on
their part. Had the Democrats elected a
majority OF the members of the Leg Is
lature. we would have been forced to SUBJ
init to the inevitable, and we do not see
that we can do otherwise now. Abuse
will not change the result. and it Is folly
to indulge In 1t. The only thing left Is to
hope that some mistake has been made in
