interest which has attached 70 fas
mans name ard memory. Many OF
these will come from the Republican
ranks, because they belong 20 thar class
which really believes IN god govern
ment and goodness generally, and usn-
ally votes With the Repgbliean party,
except al sgca times as II breaks out
and joins the ProhIsiti0nists. This con-
tsngen, forms q very desirable. not very

Of the community. The address Of
Henry Georges son viii appeal very
strongly to that same class; but. even
beyond that. the tone L. 80 admirable,
fsrnnesa gs so tactfully combined with
nodesty, that II will secure recruits for
his own aake.
The situation is one which viii not
bear critical analysis; IL Is enough TO
suggest that many people are likely TO
be influenced by the statement OF DR..
McGiynn that there was man sent
from God, and his name was Henry
George" and they will not stop to won
der why, IL that were the case, he were
90 suddenly removed just as he was
about 10 accomplish the purpose for
which. If be were so sent. he was sent.
The same authority being opposed 10
Tracy, would, had Tracy suddenly died,
have claimed that IL was a providential
dispensation, and that he was removed
In order TO pave the way for the success
of one OF the other candidates-pro5-
ably George Any one who had made
q study OF Henry George and bis life
must have acquired profound regard
for the mar and hearty admiration for
his earnestness OF purpose. IL is not
the man upon whom We are now COM
mcnting. but npon these who arc speak
ing for him and Of him.
Those who were OF a more philosoph-
teal nature than the Iaehrymal recruits,
and who saw in Georges candidacy the
way TO better government, will turn
now TO Low: but the bulk of the defec-

bered about Henry George are the truths
he told In the New York campaign. The

The members OF the National Guard
of New York are considerably exer-
eised over the removal OF Maj. Balch,
surgeon of the Tenth battalion. Re
Gently Gen. McLewee commented very
severely upon the unsoldierly manner
In which matters were conducted at
the state camp. Shortly afterward,
there was much dissatisfaction over the
spectacle of a staff officer command
Ing the forces on Grant day. although
there were four brigade commanders in
line.
Reviewing the causes which led TO
these conditions, Maj. Balch was very
outspoken. Among other things. he de-
plored the mischief done TO the organ
ization by the creation of general Of
ficers as reward for political services
or as a mark of personal favor. His
views met the appreciation of the
Guard, but 1t was considered an offense
for an officer To criticise his superiors,

cism remarked that when man feels
that things are not conducted TO his
satisfaction. let him resign
II is probably good discipline to for
bid public comment by members of a
military organization of their superior
officers, and it seems as IL the only
course left. when there is a notorious
objection TO the method OF such Of
tleers. is for the public press 20 take up
The cuagels.
The National Guard Is useless ex-
pense. unless Its members are trained
FOR service IN war. AS volunteer or
ganization. II can never be a success.
unless the true military spirit prevails
aud that is impossible il officers and
men. who devote time and money to
become useful citizens as a reserve SOL
alery, are outranked by political favor
ties, who have had no experience what
ever for the position. and value it only
for the tile and the epaulets.
There is much room for complaint
II has been usual In many states for
governors TO select a personal military
sta9. bat there Is no good reason for it
The governors stan should be selected
from the qualified officers. and what
ever political rewards are to be made
shogld be % those who best deserve
Them for efficiency In the ranks 70
which they belong.
The actual commander OF the Guard
IS the aeiatant general. There may be
no lmproprety In the selection OF that
officer by ths governor. bat Il should be
prime consideration that the person
selected Tor that responsible and hon
oFshie of.ies b a competent military
man. There IS danger 10 the service
Ia the changing OF that officer with
every administration. II should be kept
absolutely free from politics. because
The National Guard is composed OF
men OF all parties. aud neither officers

IS only the emblem OF The state. 10 De

Nor should any mans politics be
considered in the organization. Mill

HE rAyoRs FREE TEXT BOOKS.


Seattle. Nov l. lsss-
To the Editor: In Saturdays issue OF
your paper appears an article against free
text books written by L. p. Thomas. The
issue free text books has won in many of
the states, and will eventually win In the
state OF Washington as well as School
District No. /. on it's merits The best
evidence we have in favor OF free text
books IL the experience of those states
and districts which have already adopted
the system. Take the report of the edu-
caffonai department OF the state Of Mas
sachusetts. and IL commends the working
OF the system Of free text books for the
reason OF increased attendance 1t teaches
the pupils to have care FOR property not
their own and enables the teachers 20
orga nize and classify the school at the i'm
mediate commencement OF the term with
out delay for want Of books. and cheapens
the purchase price of the text book one
half from the original individual purchase
system.
1t must be admitted that the best
common school system Is the one that
educates the largest number OF scholars
for given sum Of money TO maintain
the school. When we consider that the
public schools of today are molding the
independent American citizen of the fu-
fure. IL should be an incentive on our
part 10 place the public schools upon the
highest possible plane consistent with our
resources as state. To accomplish that
aim IL IS necessary that all obstacles
which may in any way operate as barriers
be removed.
We have In this state a permanent
school fund. which, as It grows larger in
years TO come, viii lessen taxation some
what. The taxpayer who has no children
cannot grumble at the benefits he may re-
ceIve from q lessening of taxes from that
fund.
The taxpayer should be willing to be
taxed TO make the public schools abso-
lutely free.
OF the many states which have free text
books, not one has yet repealed that law.
Let us have free text books in District
No. /, and In the state as well.

HELPLESS To BE HELPED.
An Appeal for support of the New
Seattle Humane Society.

Seattle. Wash, Nov. 1.
To the Editor: 1t Is earnestly to be
hoped that the newly organized humane
society will receive that degree of public
support which the Importance OF Its work
and the height of its aim demand; that
everyone who Is sympathetic will add one
more to the strength of this worthy organ
ization, whose influence can become wide
reaching and beneficial.
If any be indifferent to the matter. let
him take walk along the water front,
where the Alaska boats are preparing to
ship hundreds OF poor. forlorn. dumb
creatures to the frozen North. He VIII
find enough here to stir his feelings. II the
inhumanity that is daily practiced on our
streets has failed to do so.
The reed OF a humane society Is posi-
tive necessity In such growing cities as
Seattle, where cruelties that are practiced
may become settled into barbarous GUS
toms. the sight OF which, unrebuked
hardens the heart. What was once an i'm
possibility in matters of legislation 70 pro-
tact dumb creatures has now become. by
unanimous consent. a positive need. Pub
lie opinion demands better care and treat
ment OF our dumb friends than In the days
when Henry Bergh set out to form tho
first society of this kind in New York city.
But with all this improved public senti-
nlent there must be societies whose busi-
ness IL Is to enforce these humans laws.
The new association has entered upon
a vide field Of work when II undertakes to
defend and befriend the helpless" II
realizes that childhood has an unwritten
history OF suffering. mental. as Well as
physical. that will never be told. II seeks
through the dissemination Of humane lit
ersture TO increase humanity toward dumb
creatures. and to place human beings IN
gentler attitude toward each other. So
good a work should not fall, because 1t Is
Just ard right
Let us hope that the improved sentiment
Of the age win demand humane treatment
az cur animals. until the feeling shall be
that II Is as wrong 70 whip one Of these
as II is now known TO be a mistake TO
strike a child.

New York will decide today whether II
Is for or against crokerism and all II i'm
plies. Croker Is a ruffian whose vocation
is blackmail. which has been dixnlfled by
the name of practical politics. He stands
for all that Is low. venal. corrupt and mis-
chievous in American municipal life. His
influence for evil has been enormous. The
city once revolted against his maladminis-
trstion, and placed a sound man OF fine
eapacity-Mayor Strong-at the head of its
affairs. IL New York Is tired of reform,
II will declare today for Croker. and his
creature Van wyck. The outlook is that
Van wyck viii be elected. and that New
York will undergo a reign of loot and
plumber by a hungry gang of Tammany
highwaymen never before paralieled.
