An Unstable Are 1ment.

One of the Republican newspapers
tries to hang an argument on the
statement that the price of granulated
sugar advanced one cent per pound
on the passage of the late tariff act.
From this false premise it reasons
that on an average of 65 pounds .
year for each person in this State, the
increase would make sugar cost our
people $292, 900 more than it did under
the Mckinley act, and that the sugar
bounty only cost the State SOS, 900,
having clear increase OF cost of 1924
600.
The facts are that sugar advanced
only one-fourth a cent per pound
Immediately after the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill, and as quickly re-
coded, and the quotations now are one.
half q cent per pound below the fig
ures prevailing one year ago, when the
Mckinley bill was in full operation.
So it follows that by an inverse pro-
cess of reasoning, the new ia riff bill
has not only removed the suppositious
tax above alleged, but has cheapened
that commodity. Whether this is
owing to the tariff act, or other causes,
does not matter for the present pur-
pose OF showing how utterly fallacious
is the reasoning of the trust news
papers.

The Office Sought the Man.

The nomination OF Ex-Gov. w. A.
Newell for Representative on the DEM
ocratic ticket was made without exact
ing any pledges from him whatever.
His record is before the public and it
bears upon its face the imprint of
honesty. Nor was the resolution
adopted pledging those seeking Office
intended to apply to him. 1t was in
tended for those who, in the pursuit OF
Office, had became somewhat oblivious
OF the usage ordinarily exacted. This
nomination for Representative abso-
lutely sought the man. Our local
interests are too important and varied
for a convention to bubble over a re.
mote hope of party success and fritter
away an opportunity for electing man
whose conceded ability, industry and
integrity, by this concession, who is al
most absolutely assured of success.
The Democrats have endorsed the ex-
Governor without pledges, and it now
remains for the Peoples party to ex-
hibit like degree of trust and conf.
dence in one they have professed to
honor.

Senator Hill on the a. r, A.

Senator David B. Hill, in his bril-
liant speech at the opening of the New
York State Convention, at Saratoga
Tuesday, said of the secret political or.
ganization known outside the lodge.
room as the A. P. A.: "The Demo.
cratic party stands in this State as il
has ever stood, for that religious lib.
erty which is guaranteed them by our
Constitution, and arraign the Re.
publican party for its covet sympathy
and encouragement of the proscriptive
spirit which attempts to set up re.
ligious test as qualification for off.
cial preferment in this land of the
free, and which is propagated by Ger.
tain political organizations which
deserve execration at the hands oil
every fair-minded man, but which the
Republican State Convention, last
week, distinctly refused, though asked,
to condemn" This sentiment was
greeted with applause from almost
every person in the large audience.
The platform suggested contains q
plank which prohibits any interference
with the free exercise of any form of
religious worship and deprecates any
organization which would tend to
such result.

Is IT TRICK, Or NoT?-" Nelly
Bly," the SUMS Ground the world
correspondent, claims to have exposed
the "trick" by which Miss Abbott per-
forms her great wonder act of resist.
ing the efforts of stout men to lift her,
and claims that it is all in the position
she assumes when the effort is made.
She says: "To be lifted by one man
requires the use of a board" and she
braces one foot against the edge OF the
board to render herself immovable.
Grace Eden, when here year or
more ago, used no board, and resisted
the combined strength of five men to
lift her. Besides Miss Abbott per-
forms many other wonders, such as
lifting from five to ten men at once,
resisting the efforts of several men
to wrest rod from her hands, etc. If
" Nelly" expects to gain much credit
by an expose, she should make it
thorough and convincing in all re-
spects. 1t is probable, however, that
she has not met the real Miss Abbott,
for unless she is ubiquitous, as we'll as
mystifying in other respects, she is
now within few miles of the Capital
of the State of Washington, and will
appear on the boards of Olympia
Theater tonight, when a full oppor-
tunity of solving the correctness of
" Nelly Bly's" expose will be afforded
a committee to be selected by the
audience.

Honest Labor far Adequate Pay

The editor OF the STANDARD is MAJ Of ripe
experience, a close observer OF governmental al
fair and for many wears Territorial officer. Let
us suggest. in all kindness. that while he IL find
ing 80 much fault with present conditions he out
line some means Of bcttcrns matters.-PdHd-
dunn.
Cheerfully we comply with the re-
quest, although We had thought that
we had time and again outlined the
means OF relief.
The principal relief may be obtained
by electing men to the several offices
who have been made to understand
that office holding in these times is
no sinecure. We want a man of
clerical ability for Auditor who will
occupy his time at a desk in discharge
of the pressing duties of his Office, in
stead of bossing half 4 dozen clerks, or
when the number is cut down, filing
away documents for his successor to
record. We want Clerk who will
pull OF his coat Gf necessary and
keep the work up to date, with the aid
of an assistant We want Treasurer
who can compute the interest and
give a receipt himself, if his deputy is
busy. And so in all the offices. We
want men who regard the position as
something more than the reward of
party effort; men who are willing to
perform honest labor for reasonable
pay.
In the matter of compensation,
there is much to be said. There is no
reason why clerks should work but
half the hours Of the mechanic or
the laborer, and still less in his re-
ceiving twice the pay for it. Why
should the clerk who sits in COM
Portable room six hours each day, re-
ceive from So to $3.50, on a steady
job, while the tradesman labors in
doors or out, on transient jobs, ten
hours a day, for from $3.50 to 81?
One avocation requires no more brain
to master it, or time to acquire the
requisite skill than the other.
This comparison embraces only the
lower salaries of the subordinate off,
GERS. When it comes to the principals
in county or State employ, the dis.
crepancy is still more marked.
The STANDARD would, Mr.. Palla-
dunn, have matters adjusted on an
equality of the emoluments of office
with the price Of labor. There is No
question but that this policy, adhered
to few years, would restore the finan.
cial equilibrium sufficiently to enable
the citizen to pay his taxes. 1t is not
question of how much longer can
we stand it, but how soon can we
bring the cost of local government
within our ability TO pay.
Let the compensation for labor of
all kinds be adjusted on a scale of
simple justice, and the difficulty is at
once solved.

Gloystein is Resurrected.

\ Spokane dispatch Of the sd says
that Sheriff Pugh nal just returned
from Moro, sherman county, Oregon,
where he found the missing man from
Spokane, who it has been charged had
been murdered by the Silver Fedora
ton, working in Il harvest field. The
meeting was qnite unexpected to the
fugitive and he admitted that he had
taken steps TO make people believe
that he had been folly dealt with, on
leaving his home. He says that he
put blood upon his hat and left it in
the road; that he lett by stealth, and
after walking across the country to
! Colfax that he shaved his mustache
and donned glasses 10 disguise himself
He boarded Il freight train and went
to The Dalles; thence into the coun-
try. working for farmers. He says he
/ left because he Vas frightened at the
| threats made against his life. Gloy.
stein would not return with the Sheriff
He declared that his wife should come
to him, and he would begin life anew
in some other place.
1t will be rene mbered that the dis
appearance of Gloystein has been, by
the Republican newspapers, persist
emily charged upon the Populists. He
was a loudmouthed Republican, and
it seems that he delights in posing a,
a martyr for his party and its cause
He did not pause to consider the an
guish he was inflicting upon his wife
or the injustice to others. He simply
wanted to create sensation and he
has accomplished his object.
