Every revolution that history
reveals or records sprang from
the unjust centralization Of wealth
and power in the hands of a
greedy few-and never in the his
tory Of the world was there such
vast concentration of stolen
wealth as there is to-day in the
hands of a few people in the
United States. But this great
evil can be remedied without a
bloody revolution of bullets-it
can be remedied by the ballots of
the people, provided it is done be-
fore the people are deprived of
the ballot. Louisiana Democrat.

The Democratic party is the
only national political organiza-
tion in these United States to-
day that stands for a republican
form of government. The Re-
publican party through It's bosses
and the commercial owners of its
acknowledged leaders, are the
subservient puppets of the in
visible empire. The Republican
party is the oppressor of labor
and the strangers of free speech.

A case of smallpox was located
few days ago on the lines that
separates Assumption from La
fourche. It was white lady
who was seized with the disease,
but we are informed that she is
now practically cured. 1t is not
known just how she contracted
the disease, but it is supposed
that it was introduced by some Of
those pack peddlers, who visit
any place, disease or no disease,
and make business of selling
secondhand clothing. This ought
to teach people to give the ped
dlers who handle this kind of
junk a wide berth-Lafourche
Comet.
1t is just as well to keep these
peddlers and their packs out of
the house. The time of the year
is now near when it behooves us
to be very careful. The rambling
peddlers and everbody's dog are
both dangerous, one carries di-
sease germs in his packs and the
other packs it in his fur.-Mor-

Hale Smith

The Presbyterian church was a
bower of roses last night, when all
Port Townsend was present to wit
ness the wedding of Mr.. Harry
WILDER Hale to Miss Gertrude
Wilson Smith. Even the spacious
church was unable to hold all
those who were anxious to attend
! the ceremony.
The rostrum of the church was
one solid bank of evergreens ard
flowers. Immediately in front of
The platform stood a floral gate,
Isymbolical of the entrance of the
couple so soon to be married into
their new life.
TO the strains of beautiful we'd
ding march the bridal procession
marched slowly into the church.
The procession was headed by
little frankie Close and Clayton
Jones, who had been selected to
open the gate of flowers. The
groom was accompanied by Mr..
Ross Weyer, Of Olympia the best
man, and the bride was attended
by her father.
The young lady members of the
class in which the bride graduated
from the Port Townsend high
school also formed part of the
bridal party.
AS the party neared the rostrum
the floral gates were opened, and
Rev. Milligan of the Presbyterian
church of Ellensburg faced the
young couple and rendered the
beautiful marriage ceremony of the
Presbyterian church.
Many of the guests remained to
escort Mr.. and Mrs. Hale to the
Utopia. They will go at once to
Ellensburg, where they will make
their future home. At the boat,
rice and flowers were showered on
the young couple as they walked
up the gang plank. Their many
friends, for fear the fact that they
had but newly embarked upon the
sea of matrimony might be over
looked, had decked their baggage
with ribbons and placards, among
which "Cupids Fourth of July"
"Don't we look unconcerned," and
"We're the only pair" were prom
inently displayed.
The couple were very kindly re-
memEered by their many friends,
and the list of wedding presents
was one of the finest ever received
by a couple in this city.-Port
Townsend Leader.
