THEY STILL LIVE

The Republican and single gold stand
ard papers generally are finding it nee
essary to call in the Bryan political obit'
uaries they spread broadcast over the
country coincident with the temporary
arrival of dollar wheat. They had uni
versaly expressed the opinion and be-
lief that the aforesaid dollar wheat was
the only thing that had been lacking
in the effort to bring about the Bryan
obsequies, and were naturally joyful
over the outlook.
AS usual, they shouted before they
were out of the woods. just as they did
when the Sherman law was repealed.
The corpse was not dead. and it is very
exasperating to wake" a person and
then find that he still lives.
All this leads up to and Is introductory
to the following from the New York
World, which is a single gold standard
advocate and by no means partial to
Mr. Bryan on general principles The
World says, editorially:
The dispatches in the World on Sat-
urday and yesterday from national and
state Democratic committeeman, unan-
imously affirming their adherence to
free silver and their allegiance to Mr..
Bryan, were an astonishing revelation.
It was perhaps to have been expected
that the Democrats who managed last
years campaign in the Populistic states
of the northwest and the south should
still stand to their guns" in spite OF
dollar wheat and Accent silver dol
lars. But that the committeeman in the
now prosperous states Of the west
and in the middle and eastern states
that accepted the Chicago platform
simply to be regular" should take the
same position is a striking and disturb
ing proof of the strength o: party spirit
and the vitality of delusion.
The representatives of New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Hamp-
~ ,,--.-.s- -
with the committeeman of Indiana,
Michigan, Iowa, Missouri Kansas,
kentucky and West Virginia in looking
to Bryan as the leader of the party and
in accepting free silver as it's shibbo-
leth.
The World naturally concludes that
the battle for Sound money" and the
national honor" is not yet over. Ideas
may differ as to what the national
honor might mean in this case, but the
fight for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio Of sixteen to one
will not be over until it is won. The
position of the Democratic committee
men is most encouraging to the true
friends of the white metal and should
shame into greater effort those who
have stood appalled, and faint hearted
at the seeming difficulties that lie in the
path to free coinage as the result Of the
present abnormal agricultural condi-
tions

PRESIDENT D1Az

The recent attack upon President Dia:
called forth very general and decided
expression of confidence in and affectio,
for him by the people of the City O.
Mexico. The expression was repeated
when he delivered his message to con
gress at its opening. Those manifesto.
tions are gratifying to all friends of goot
government and progress throughout
the world
Mexico has produced a number OF
bright men and some really great men
the most conspicuous being Hidalgo Mo-
rales, Juarez and Diaz. Judging from
the standpoint of achievement, Diaz is
not inferior to the greatest. Before he
became president he had justly earned
the reputation Of being brave and able
soldier, but his military services and tall
ents are overshadowed by his civic. In
his first term he greatly improved the
condition Of his country especially in re-
spect to peace, order and stability of
government. He has held the presiden-
tial office consecutively from Decem-
ber, 1884, having been thrice reelected.
craftsmanship is the ability to per-
ceive what policies or measures are re-
quired under existing conditions, what
ever they may be, coupled with the pa
triotism and courage to adopt and put
them into execution. If this be the true
test, then Diaz is a statesman. That
there must be peace, order, protection
to life and property and stable govern
ment, was the first lesson that had to be
taught the Mexican. people, when Diaz
became president. It was a hard les
son for them to learn, for the history of
that country during the whole time it
has been an independent nation and up
to his presidency was one of pronuncia-
mientos, emeutes and revolutions. The
methods of Diaz to the minds of those
uninformed may be regarded as severe
and tyrannical, but they were neces-
sary and salutary in Mexico. Diaz has
not only exnlp1teu courage, derermina-
ton and force, but skill in otherwise
managing turbulent elements In but
few countries are people more law
abiding than the Mexican people now
are. That there has been a marked
change for the better Is we'll known and
the credit of it is more largely due to
Porfirio Diaz than to all others.
President Diaz has drawn around him
the ablest and best mer in the republic
and he imbued all with his own patriot
ism, courage and energy. Progress in
general education has been remarka BILE
considering the obstacles with which
he had to contend and the means al
command. He has promoted industria
development and the general condition
of the people. Public Improvements have
been immense and arrangement has
been expelled from the public finances
and the honor of the nation has beer
| maintained. No ruler Of Mexico wa!

cept Iturbide and Santa Ana, and non
ever employed it more vigorously ant

Largest Receipts Of Wheat.

Last week ended the banner month
in the wheat trade in Tacoma. More
wheat came into Tacoma than has
ever been recorded since the grain in
spection laws went into effect in 1895,
although the 30ths. receipts amount
ed to only 90 cars, against 1O3 cars
the day before. The receipts for the
past three months were as follows
In September 1920 cars received.
In October 1922 cars received.
In November the receipts reached
the enormous figure of 2,147 cars,
amounting to 1,61S,S38 bushels or 49,
565 tons.
The aggregate amount for the three
months in bushels is 4 $50, 1888 bushels.
The largest receipts of any previous
month were in September, 1896, when
1923 cars were inspected.
More bleached wheat has been re-
ceived this month than in the two
months previous. The first part OF
the seasons wheat was shipped from
the Walla Walla country, where har-
vesting commenced earlier and the
crops thereby escaped the damage that
the grain of the Big Bend and Palouse
countries experienced from the late
rains.
Heavy shipments are anticipated
from near Colsax, in the Palouse coun-
try, as large sales are reported from
that district.-Ledger.

Fraternal Insurance.

Of all the remarkable things that
have sprung up during the past twen-
ty years, none is more remarkable
than the growth of fraternal insur-
ance. True there has been some wild

that have met every demand, paid

they have grown older.

man, we learn that there are 100000
carrying policies in the several frater-
nal organizations. The A. o. U. w.
is but thirty years old, yet it has &c.,
600 members, and has paid nearly
$70OO0,O00 to the relatives of the de-
ceased members
The order OF independent Foresters
has l11,772 members and reserve
fund of nearly 50, 100000 yet this was
founded only twentythree years ago.
The most marvellous of all fraternal
growths is the Woodmen of the World,
which was founded only seven years
ago Today it has 100000 members
and has paid out nearly 81 100000 in
death benefits.
The Maccabees have 275,00O mem
bers and has paid out in sixteen years
over 81 100000.
During the past few years there has
been much agitation regarding several
changes to be made in the manage
ment of these societies. Some of these

Another-perhaps the most import
ant matter before these natural organ
izations is the "Reserve fund" uues-
ton. We firmly believe that these
great organizations will never fully
raise to the full state of usefulness and
full power Of good, until this question
is settled and settled right. A fund
ought to be accumulated, not large
enough to cause strife for it's manage
ment, nor to corrupt officials, but
large enough so that after member
has paid his assessment promptly for
say thirty years, he should be exempt
from further payments. The average
age at joining is about thirty years.
From 80 to 55 or go are the best years
of mans life, if he ever accumulates
anything it is IN that period, after that
many men are crowded out and the
matter of paying even So. per month
is hard trial for them. They ought
to be exempt. The fact must be faced
too that with age the assessments will
increase, this is the history of the
Eastern Jurisdictions. And no man
who loves these orders would object
to paying little higher assessment
while young if he could be certain that
when he had grown old no more would
be asked of him.-Hoquiam Washing
