WHY SHOULD WE CAREs

Though the tree be not Just for the bird
TO nest in.
She sets the twigs and the nest is there;
Though the world be not just for man TO
be blest in,
He walks her green ways and breathes
her sweet air.
The rich days open and spill their splen-
dor:
Night shoes with silver the foot on her
stair;
Aye. life has all that glory can lend her;
So what II all means, pray. why should
we care?
The green lands blossom and thu blue
The warm winds blow, and the song
birds pair:
Under loves window, comes fluting. the
lover,
And me Moved one leans. with his rose
In her hair.
The suns plunge over the hill TO the
water:
The stars are sure; God gives and TO
spare:
The nan-child thrives. and beautys fair
daughter:
So what's Il all for. pray. why should
we care?

THREATENING MERCHANTS.
lid System of Blackman by Certain
Populist Papers.
Dayton Courier.
IF az ~as;.~for

Dayton Courier.
Apropos OF an editorial which recently
appeared in Populist paper OF Spokane
and copied by one or two papers OF the
same stripe In this part OF the state. cali
ing upon the farmers TO support the Poey-
list papers and only patronize those bust
ness firms who advertise therein, we have
a Few words to say: not that we fear any
evil result from such selfish and mercenary
sentiments. but TO show the utter uNrea-
sonahleness OF the Popuists' claims upon
the support OF a business community The
same article above referred to intimates
that our merchants, because they adver-
tise in those newspapers which they know
circulate well ana wherein they are guar
anteed the benefit OF large subscription
lists. help to support monopoly papers
and knock out papers which stay by the
people" This is buncombe OF the worst
kind, and we have had a sample OF II here
at home.
Merchants advertise with the same OBJ
jet IN view as they purchase their goods:
and pay the price where they know the
returns are assured 10 benefit them most.
It Is a business proposition with them. and
not al all. as the Populist papers would
desire to make II. matter OF sympathy
with that or any other political party or
faction.
The same article attempts to prejudice
farmers against merchants who do not adj
vertise in Populist papers. and would in
stituts a boycott plan. which is against
the principles Of our constitution and the
rights Of American citizens, and, IL carried
TO a successful issue. would certainly mo-
nopolize all mercantile interests in the
hands OF one certain class. giving our
farmers no opportunity TO choose between
competing firms but compelled 30 stand
whatever prices might be levied by those
who succeeded IN such boycott
Il is for these reasons that new spapers
which advocate such unjust measures fail
financially and go 20 the wall eventually.
Neither the merchant nor the farmer has
faith In them, and what KNITTED support
they do receive comes more through SYM
pathy than on basis OF correct business
principles.

AT today's session of the State Bar AS
ISOLATION David E. Baiiys Daper on

sentence: In state after state. from the
Atlantic 10 the Pacific, II has been seen
that the great corporations Of the country
have exercised over the courts an UNDUE,
unjust and too often a corrupt influence.
Mr.. Coiner. of Tacoma, moved that the
paper be censured. This called out a spir-
tied controversy. but the paper was not
censured."
Permit me to say the words quoted by
you above were not original with me-

quoted by me from an able paper read be-
fore the bar association at its meeting last
year in Seattle. but il Mr.. Coiner wishes
TO hold me responsible for them he can DO
So Had he listened closely he might have
caught some other expressions of Ike I'M

porate body and soul Of him, the said MI

paper was not censured," nor was yours
