Well, all our heroes couldn't take the
newspaper route to the war va Newport

When Constructor Hobson gets through
raising those submerged Spanish ships he
might bring his air bags 70 Washing ton
and try them on that Newport News war
record.
The Spokesman-Review takes a deal OF
comfort in the fact that the Post-lntelli-
gencer admitted that Spokane county
would so fusion by 800. Iuasmuch as this
involves fusion loss in that county of

THE HYPOCRISY or THE POPU.
LISTS.

The frantic efforts made by the
office-h holding ring to secure the eie'.-
ton OF Rogers for senator have tempt
ed them 70 brave the resentment OF
the people and send out every man
from Olympia holding public office
who can make a speech
There have been stumping all over
the state during the past two CT three
weeks the following state officers:
Assistant Attorney General Vance.
Land Commissioner Bridges. Assistant
Secretary Of state Alling. State Auditor
Neal Cheetham, Insurance Commis-
sioner c. II. Heifner, Superintendent
of Education F. ]. Browne, ana
Thomas Mallory, who is employed IN
one OF the state departments.
This is a pretty array OF public serv-
ants jaunting all over the state for
nearly month. representing party
which Is 50 much hoiier than all others,
and which nearly had a At when q
Republican state officer ventured to
appear upon a platform to make q
political speech. OF course. nothing
better could be expected Of a Repub-
lican; but it Is the rankest hypocrisy
on the part of Populists who profess
to be SO terribly afraid that the peo-
pies time may be wasted by the peo-
pIe's servants
These are all state officers; and they
have not even the excuse that tney
are defending their own positions.

be cleared np without scandai TO the man

ANOTHER FUSION SANDER RE
FCTED.

Some OF the more reckless fusion
organs and orators have not hesi:ated
10 assert that large proportion OF
the 500. 000. 900 Issue of war bonds was
Of using them ~ basis for their note
circulation. They have even gone so
far as to insinuate that the admins
tration was in league with the banks
and forced the issue Of bonds at their
suggestion. The secretary OF the
treasury now states that not bank III
the United States was allotted one OF
these bonds. and. II they have any.
they have purchased them In the open
market The entire issue was sub
scribed for and taken BY the people.
Nearly 100 citizens OF this state were
subscribers for and are now holding
these bonds. ranging in amount from
tons where individuals subscribed for
more than $780, This Is the case not
only In this state but all over the
country. showing conclusively that the
bonds-&rc held by the people. They
are quoted IN New York today at
$l05i4, and. as they were sold at par.
the purchasers have made a profitable
bargain.
Had the government sold the bonds
to the highest bidder. as Is the usual
custom, II would have realized not less
than $5,000000 premium: but congress
deemed il best to offer the entire issue
to the people 1t popular subscription.
BY this action the government lost
s.. 000, 900 or more. but. as the subscrip-
lions amounted to over seven times
more than the bond issue. T. demon
strated how readily large public loan
may be fioated right here at home and
at a very low rate OF interest. Per-
haps the demonstration is worth all it
cost the country, and II IL certain the
plain. everyday people have profited
BY the advance in price, not those
dragons OF the Populist fancy. the
bankers and syndicates.
Is 1t not time the fusionists ceased
to reiterate their stale fafsehoods as
To the disposal OF the war bonds?
Secretary Gage has told the people that
not one OF them was allotted to any
bank In the United States. The peo-
pie took them all. VIII the fusion or
gans publish this statement, and the
fusion orators announce 1t from the
platform, and candidiy acknowledge
that they have misrepresented the adj
ministration In this matter?

A ST. Louis reformer named David J.
Smyth proposes novel pan to purify his
city, by hanging the worst man in each
ward. as determined By popular vote, on
the first day of every year. We must con-
TESS that, in some respects, the plan Is
most attractive, only We would like to In
crease the number of wards in the city to
some extent. OF course the balloting
would have 10 be secret or the leading cam
diaate would come UP missing before the
result was announced. The bad men OF
each ward would be out hussiing for votes
for the other fellow--from early morn
till dewy eve. and as IT got along about
time for the polls to close the late voter
could demand his own price. Tie votes
could be easily and satisfactorily settled
by hanging both candidates. The pan
would tend 10 thin out the population
somewhat by a prompt emigration of the
thoroughly bad men. but this loss would
be more than made up by the influx of
truly good men. On the whole the plan
is worthy the attention of reformers.
