White River Journal: There are some
ugly rurnors afioat respecting Some Of the
leaders of county affairs. They should
be run down in the interests OF the ones
that keep the gossips busy.

Cowlitz Valley Journal: II is really
amusing TO hear some Democrat gioat
over the reviving of business. but 1t
must be remembered that every industry
tnat mas revived and in which wages
were increased is under the head Of
the protected articles. made so by the
senate refusing to accept the Wilson bill
This bill. which now allows a few indus
trles 70 revive, was condemned by Cleve-
land, and became a law without his sig
nature. The principal Industries that are
surviving. and the factories that have al
ready advanced wages were those where
the manufacture OF iron and steel are
carried on. The Mckinley tariff was
$s.12 per ton, the Wilson bill' "a, which
is still prohibitory tariff, you might
say. The fact that business is reviving
is great triumph for protection. The
people who have always preached free
trade and howled against protection are
ciple of protection. and are fiocking to the
&. o. p. by the hundreds every day.
Goldendale Sentinel: The people who
settled on the bleak shores of New Eng
land and James river were driven from
their former homes by religious persecu-
ton and sought a refuge that had been
denied them elsewhere in all the earth.
Even they had not learned the lesson Of
charity toward all denominations that
was instilled in their children, but prac-
ticed the same spirit of intolerance and
bigotry against their feliow-beinss that
had driven them across the waters.
Others who profited by the mistakes of
Virginia and Massachusetts, conceived the
idea of free land where all denomina
tons might live in peace Colonies were
founded by men OF liberal minds and
generous spirits that accorded to every
denomination all OF religious liberty. the
right TO be governed by their
own conscience in their worship of
God. In that group of natures noblemen
were Lord Baltimore. a Catholic; Roger
williams. Protestant. and William Penn,
a Quaker. Thus was the flame of free
dom kindled and kept burning until it
has spread throughout the civilized world,
and who would be the first to quench its
fire?
