The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-03-11

THE inaugural address of President
Mckinley is notable for its brevity,
simplicity and comprehensiveness. 1t
is worthy of IA man of the highest type
OF citizenship, craftsmanship and pa
triotis,n. From beginning to end it
gives promise of earnest ard conscien-
tious effort OH the part of the president
to carry into effect the policies to which
his party stand committed by it's plat
form. For the speedy success of his
efforts j.. this direction he should have
the best wishes of all good citizens,
whether or no they believe that the ap-
plicatiOn of the principles involved is
best calculated to promote greatest
good to the greatest number. A vast
majority of the people have declared
in favor of a trial of those principles and
they tave a right to expect and de.
nnand that the great party of which
President Mckinley is now the hon.
ored head shall fulfill its pledges with
the least possible delay.
The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-03-11

The Seattle Times, fusionist if not
Pop Hist, makes the following just conf
snent upon President McKinley,s in
augural address,: 'rne sentiments ex-
pressed are so clearly and reverently
put and the President has seemed SO
conscientious i'm the manner i'm which
he has expressed himself, that one is
led to believe that President Mckinley
will have 'policy' and pursue the
same with vigor and persistence. If
he will be true to the sentiments
which he has expressed, he will give the
country a better administration than
his political opponents have hoped, be-
leyed or had right to expect"
The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-03-11

This exhibits with sufficient clear
,ess ;hat tendency to costly admins
t ION, and to steadily increased cost
OF administration, which marks the
recent management of the affairs of
this nation.
This tendency is the most serious
problem which the Reanblican party,
coming back into power under McKin-
les, will nave to confront during the
3.eXt four years.
adding the permanent annual APP
preparations to the appropriations made
al the first session of the Fifty-fourth
congress for the current fiscal year, the
total for this year is $515, S45, 1914. Es-
timating the present population at ", :
100000, this is a tax of S7.16 for every
man, woman and child i'm the country.
For the tremendous increase in the
cost OF running the federal government,
outside of the expenses resulting from
a civil war which ended thirty-two
years ago, it must be said that the Re-
p lbfican party is mainly responsible.
1t is party of enterprise, but it has
not hitherto shown itself to be party
of economy. That the Democrats,
when in power at Washington, have
sometimes carried up the figures close
to the Republican high-water mark,
does not alter the responsibility of the
organization now in control of the fed
eral government.
Speaker Reed at the present session
is almost the first Republican of great
prominence found resisting earnestly
ami with measurable success the null
.itu,linnus demands of an extravagant
Il ,ican tuajority in congress. The
S. ar evidently understands the
warning of past experience, and the
dangers of the immediate future.
In the matter of appropriations the
Republican party i'm the Fifty-fifth con-
gress will need a bride rather than a
spur, and it will be well for continued
Republican supremacy if there is firm
hand on that bride during the next
four years.

added:

roads at the coming conference of rep
resentatives of Kansas lines with the
state board of railroad commission ers.
The reduced schedule, as agreed upon,

said. be fixed as the maximum rate in

the railroads take the initial
step of voluntarily agreeing to
q certain reduced rate and then they
will do the rest. The administration
is working to secure q horizontal re-
duction of from seven to ten per cent.
in the present rates, and IL this is ac-
complished the Legislature will be
called together Immediately to enact
the rates into law before the roads
have an opportunity To raise them.
