is cut of the question, and some prophe-
cies have been made that he would allow
1t to become law without his signature,
under the provision of the Constitution,
which provides that !" if any bill shall
not be returned by the President within
ten days Sundays excepted) after it shall
have been presented to him, the same
shall be law, in like manner as if he
had signed it, unless the Congress-, by
their adjournment, prevent it's return, in
which case it shall not be law" 1t is
more likely that he would inconsistently
sign it. than that he would let it
become law without signature. More
over, it is doubtful if Congress could be
kepJi in Washington for ten days after the
passage of the bill.

sey, are engaged in the important and
impressive duties of revising their con-
stitutions in state conventions assem-
bled for that purpose. The assembly of
constitutional convention is one OF the
| most important end momentous acts of
a people. The whole people, with DELHI
Grafton and care such as are not exer-
| cised in the ordinary elections, choose
their delegates, who shall revise and re-
create the fundamental law. of the State,
| as the guide for both legislatures and
courts for years to come. In the States
of the American Union such conventions
have been held rarely. In Maine the
convention of 1919 which formed the
| supreme law of the new state is the only
one ever held. The Maine constitution
has received many amendments how
ever. In 1875 a commissio on appointed
Ex-Governor Dingley proposed twenty
one amendments, nine of which were
adopted by popular vote. Since then
the Legislature has proposed svarious
other amendments, the most important
of which were those prohibiting the liq-
| uor traffic and establishing an educa-
tional qualification for the suffrage.
Vermont has been even more conserva-
| tive. than Maine, as her constitution was
adopted in 17s6 and has not been fully
revised since. Massachusetts, had an
important constitutional convention in
| 1856, and has not had one since. Con-
| necticut yet has her original constitu-
| tion, although it has been amended from
time to time in important particulars.
Rhode Islands constitution is about
| fifty years old; but has been amend
ed recently by an important clause
wiplng out the property qualification
| OF voters. New Hampshire has had sew.
eral conventions the last in 1889, but The
| people have been chary about adopting
| the recommendations, and the old con-
stitution is much as it was originally.
Illinois's co Institution was revised in
| 1890, California's in 1879, Missouri's in
1875, Virginia in 1890, Maryland in 1867,
Georgia in 1877, Florida in 1885, Louis.
lana i'll 1879, etc. The Southern States,
revolutionized by the civil war, have
more generally made revisions than the
| northern States where conditions of gov.
eminent have been more equable.
| The histories Of some of the State consti-
buttons are interesting, having come
| down from old Colonial days. For in.
! stance the constitution of the Carolinas
was deliberately constructed by the
| philosopher Locke. This constitution
was the only effort in America to con-
meet political power with hereditary
wealth. 1t was characterized by many
peculiarities which the progress of the
times soon rendered useless. One feature
was the arrangement that the majority
of jury should convict. 1t is needless
to say that most of the peculiar features
| of the Locke constitution have been eli.
minated. Delaware's constitution is as
| much in need of revision as that of any
state. Two counties, small in popula.
ton. control the legislature, while the
third, which is rich and populous, has
| not a fair representation.

In Visiting the Sick.

Bear in mind that the inmates OF every
home where there is sickness are I'M
usually busy, having extra duties and
cares, and therefore less time to entertain
callers.
A call should never be undertaken un-
less you expect to make the recipient ia
some way feel the better for it.
When leaving at the door your card,
flowers or kind word, verbal or writ
ten, it is better that you retire from the
premises as soon HIS possible.
Neverlring the door bell or make any
noise sufficiently loud to arouse the PSI
tient to be aware of your presence, buJ
make all necessary inquiries in the most
quiet and unobtrusve manner.
Never enter the sick room until you
have the unqualified consent of the at
tending physician or nurse.
Never remain longer than your best
Judgment, with that of the attendant,
agreed upon before entering, dictates.
Do not speak of the malady or symp-
toms of the patient in his or Der presence
if you can avoid it, but allude to the
whole matter OF the sickness in the most
general way, expressing entire confidence
and hope in as speedy recovery as posi-
bic. The Healthy Home.
Courtesy.
1t is to be regretted that individual
courtesy in the household is at so low
an ebb. We treat our guests with favor,
and bestow upon them every mark OF
polite attention but the minute they are
| out of the house we slip back into the
old ruts. and treat those about us with
an Indifference that borders on con-
tempt Not that this is Intentional; ra-
ther is it thu result of carelessness.a fail
ure to realize that the polite attentions,
the little things" count as much to
those we love as to some outsider who
becomes member of a family for day.
1t one would be q successful host one
should be successful parent or brother
or sister, and courtesy is, an newt
able requisite in both cases. The home
| life is q training for the larger life in
which we meet other men and discuss
other interests. II at home we learn to
say "thank you,n and mean it, we shall
not forget to say it to others at the prop
| er time.
How often does one see woman who,
when thanking a gentleman for surren-
| dering to her his seat in the cars does SO
| boldly and cheerfully, and as if she real
| ly meant what she said. 1t has been long
maintained By foreign critics that the
English language lacks fexibility, nice
| shades of meaning, the quality of express
sion, compared to other tongues. But
| is not the lack of expression rather In
| the English speaker than in the Ian
| guage?

THE PLATFORM.

We would urge the voters OF Chehalis
county to give a careful perusal and study
to the platform OF the Democratic party,
both State and county, which appear in
this issue. These platforms state the po-
sition Of the party upon the questions OF
the day. They are not mere bombast, or
platitudes, but solemn pledges OF what
the party expects to perform. Every
paragraph is in the interest OF the people !;
OF economy, and OF pure government,
county, state and national.
1t points cut in what particulars the
Republican party is TO be condemned,
and shows in what manner the Democ-
racy propose TO remedy the matter;
shows where extravaganza has been prac.
ticed and how economy should be car
ried out. 1t is the only platform which
deals with the vexed indemnity land
question, and promises a speedy settle
ment Of the same. In fact the platform
touches the things we are most interested
in, the things that affect our pocketbooks
and our firesides, the economical govern
ment OF Chehalis county and the State
OF Washington.
This Platforms the ground upon which
Democratic candidates stand, and it is as
clear an exposition Of the case as the
personele Of the candidates is clean arc
irreproachable. The Democracy OF thi:
state and county propose TO see that the
pledges and reforms contained therein
are carried out, and we ask every voter tC
give thoughtful consideration to thu
things therein stated.

EDMUND CROFT.

The first man that the Democrats OF
Chehalis county settled upon in their in
dividual minds, long before the conven-
ton, as one to nominate for the legislature,
was Edmund Croft of Markham, Tor he
is man thoroughly Democratic IN his
ideas, successful farmer, and OF ire
proachabe character, well and favorably
known throughout the entire county. He
was born in sydney, Australia, May 81,
lS4s, and received his education at Elton
college and Cambridge university, Eng
land, his parents having in view for him
the study OF law. lie craved an outdoor
life, however, and so sought his fortune
in farming on large scale in Russia and
in the islands OF the South Pacific About
fifteen years ago he went to Florida to en-
gage in the orange business, but malaria
shortly drove him out and he took the
advice OF friend and sought the New
Northwest, settling at Chehalis, Lewis
county, in 1850, and has resided in south
western Washington ever since, the last
seven years at Markham. His attentcn-
ton has been chiefly devoted to stock
raising, and he has done more for the
improvement Of draft horses than any
other man.
Mr. Croft is a taxpayer in four counties
Of this part OF the state, and has always
taken lively interest in the welfare and
upbuilding OF Chehals county. Ii elected
he will see to the important fact that, il
success is to be obtained by the people Of
this state and county, the so'called laws
will have to undergo extensive pruning
and amending, so as to adapt them to the
times, and the pockets Of the taxpayers.
He is representative citizen, uncon-
trolled by corporate influence, and worthy
your vote.

The Wing Piano
(where no dealer sells it

tending purchaser may hear it in
the home under his own judg-
1nent before buying. If not en-
tirely satisfactory it is to be re-
turned and we pay the freight
both ways-no matter how far.
(No deposit is required) we are
able to make this offer in good
faith, because nearly every one
who tries the Wing Piano keeps
it. For rs years, it has been
noted among musicians for its
remarkably pure, mellow, "sing-

and great endurance against wear
and time. This reputation as a
superb, high-class instrument is
in itself a complete guarantee.
The price is surprisingly moder-
ate the payments are convenient,
and we take an old instrument in
exchange. You will find us ac-

To TIE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF WAsHISGToN:
When | determined to accept thu nom
inaton for judge OF the Supreme Court
which the Democratic Convention at va
kima, made it was and still is my earnest
desire to 90 over the state in quiet way
and meet and get acquainted with people
whom have had no opportunity, hereto
fore, TO know but find that in all proba-
bility it will be impossible for me to do so,
and l therefore propose, in the very brief
est way, to say through the public press
what | think / can with propriety say
and ought to say in respect to the No
vember election. When l was a young
man read law in the office OF and re-
ceived instructions from james B. Beck,
subsequently Congressman from the
Ashland district IN Kentucky, and then
United states Senator from that state.
/ stood my examination for license TO
practice law before two Of the judges Of
the Court Of Appeals Of Kentucky, was
duly licensed by that court, and for thirty
years | have been in the active practice
OF my profession, the last five Of which
have passed since became member OF
the Thurston County Bar. l shall say
nothing OF my character or capacity. i
man can add to neither Of these by any
words Of seli-comlnendation | will only
say that so far as know have, and,
trust, l deserve to have the confidence
and respect OF my brother lawyers and Of
the people generally to whom am known.
We all recognize the fact that courage.
GUS and honest judiciary is absolutely es.
sential to the existence and stability of
good government. AS a citizen OF the
state am interested equally with you in
the administration of justice and in the
character and ability of our judges, and 1
may be permitted, therefore, to express
the wish that, whatever you do in No
vember, the result, will receive the ap-
proval OF your unbiased judgment.

Judge Gordon, who, acknowledging his
