operation of even single cannery in

there isn't single enterprise in the

among the people within given
period, or paws so good wages, as the

DURING the campaign now drawing
to close THE ISLANDER has not given
expression to of its own accord, or adj
mitted to its columns from other
sources, a single unkind word as to
the character or qualifications of any
Populist, or fusion, candidate for public
office in this county. Should any of
them f'e elected-a contingency, by the
way, which is pretty generally re-
garded as quite improbable-they will
doubtless do their best to serve the
people faithfully and honestly, accord
ing to their views and in conformity
with the declared principles and ad-
mitted purposes of the Populist party.
TO these principles and purposes, how
ever, The ISLANDER is most earnestly
opposed, because it firmly believes
them TO be inimical to the best inter-
ests OF the people and subversive of the
individuals most cherished rights and
opportunities. 1t is because the fusion
candidates stand before the people as

SOCIALISTS, Populists and charity
mongers-the people who would apply
little remedies for great evil -are all
barking up the wrong tree,'" wrote
Henry George in 1894 in giving his
views upon the causes of business de-
preston. The Popuiists even in this
state had not then adopted Mr.. Georges
ideas of land taxation. Evidently the
great economist had little patience will,
the theories which they then advanced
or he would not have classed them with
Socialists" and "charity mongers."

CAN any of our Populist fellow citi-
zens "point with pride" to the record
of the first land let us hope it may be
the last) Populist legislature? Can
they point to single important pledge
that was redeemed? Can they name
a single measure that became law
which had for its object the checking
of the exactions of corporations? Can
they explain why bill "to prevent
coerion and blacklisting of employees"
was laid upon the table? And that
not single bill to fix the liability of
corporations for negligence, wrongs or
injuries to employees was permitted to
become law? Can they justify the
failure to create railroad commission
and to compel reduction of local
passenger fares to three cents mile
as demanded by the Populist platform
of '96? Can they "point with pride"
to the election to the United States SEN
ate of a renegade Republican who is a
corporation lawyer and mine owner
and who was obliged to admit upon
the witness stand in the course of a
bribery investigation that his election
cost him thousands of dollars? We
trust that our Populist fellow citizens
will excuse us if these questions are
wearying to them. The facts which
make the inquiries justifiable at this
time were very wearying to the few
members of the legislature who honest
ay endeavored to redeem some of the
party's numerous ante-election pledges

THE Fusionists are making desperate
efforts to persuade the voters of the
state that the proposed amendment to
the constitution submitted by the Pop
ulist legislature is not step in the di-
rection of the the single tax, notwitn-
standing the unequivocal ex pressions
to the contrary made by the chairman
of the Fusion state. committee and
other pronounced advocates of the
Henry George theory of taxation.
For example, the secretary of the
Spokane Single Tax League, who is
also member of the single tax propa-
ganda committee Of the state, says
frankly:
at the amendment is adopted it gives the
voters of any county the right to exem pit any
class or classes of property from taxation, such
as personal property, live stock, crops or build
ings and Civ es any county where majority of
the voters see fit the right to adopt the single
tax, under which system all taxes would be
be raised from franchises and land values"
That is the situation i'll nutshell.
1t leaves no room for misconception as
to the meaning or scope of the propo-
sition, and that the Populists as party
in this state are thoroughly committed
and are not content even with the
limitations of the proposed amendment
is shown by the following declaration
in the platform of the Ellensburg joint
conventions:
1--WE demand the submission to the people of
Washington state of a constitutional amend
ment that will permit exemptions from taxa
tioa of personal property and improvements in
and upon land"
1t is clearly the duty therefore of
every citizen who is opposed to this
admitted policy of confiscation not
only to vote against the proposed
amendment but also to- do his utmost
to defeat all fusion legislative candl-
datee. Upon the overwhelming de-
feat of this revolutionary proposal de-
ponds the stability of all land values
in the state of Washington. Don't
fail to vote againstit.

Some ancient Easter customs.

Years ago the celebration of Easter
was invariably accompanied by many
very quaint and interesting observ-
ances; but few Of these customs have
been brought down unimpaired to the
close of the essentially practical nine
teenth century, and are, therefore, lit
tie known to the present generation
The sending of Easter eggs still re-
mains in vogue, but this custom, too,
is slowly but surely dying, being prob
ably killed by the more popular and
less expensive Easter card.
The exchange of eggs at Easter was
formerly a religious observance, the
custom dating back to the very earli-
est days of the Christian Church. In
many European countries, notably
France and Russia, 1t is still religious
ly observed. Among the Russian peas
antry the exchange of visits and eggs
on Easter Day is very common, being
accompanied by the salutation Christ
Is risen!" the usual response being
"He is, indeed" In France, begging
for eggs on the part of the village chill
dren is very popular, while in Italy
hundreds and thousands of eggs are
blessed by the clergy, previously to be-
ing distributed among the people as
charms against many spiritual and
bodily ills.
