LAST summer J. III. Schively
anxiously sought any old
position" and was very
glad to be elected secre
tary of the Seattle chamber OF
commerce at the pay of VS. per
month. for the reason, as he stated
to everybody, that he was in sore
distress to maintain his family.
On the organization of the repub-
lican state committe, for six weeks
he drew $3.50 per month, says the
Seattle Republican. Just at the
CLOSE of the campaign it is alleged
that he bought a couple of lots in
Seattle for $1,000, paying cash for
the same. Query: Where did he get
the money to pay for these lots?
Possibly some Of his relatives died
and he Cell into an inheritance"
The facts are that Schively has
treated Wilson and the state com
mite with great ingratitude. He
will now retire. He has dug his
own political grave.-Centralia

Cemetery improvements.

The following circular has been
mailed by the l. o. O. F. lodge to
every person known to be directly
interested in their cemetery. 1t is
fair proposition and should meet
with hearty response from all:
eve feel that we cannot go amiss
in believing you to be deeply inter-
ested in the improvement and beau
tlfying of our cemetery. We feel
sure that you will agree with us, that
it needs only a persistent effort on
the part of those interested to arouse
a spirit of emulation which will go
far towards bringing desired results.
Our lodge now proposes to put
the cemetery in charge Of a careful,
reputable and competent man, for
the entire season OF six months, who
will improve it by digging UP and
sowing grass or clover OH the lots of
all subscribers. and watering the
grass and shrubbery. This work

In spite of the fact that the Re

In spite of the fact that the Re-
publican state convention in Ia
coma declared against any ex-
emptions whate yer from taxation
of personal property, Republican
members of the legislature are
flooding that body with bills
favoring amendments to the con-
stitution of the state per hitting
exemptions. The Republicans
fought out the campaign last fall
on the basis of equal taxation to all.
They bitterly fought the proposition
in the fusion platform for sub
mitting constitutional amend
ment to the voters of the state
permitting exemptions. Now they
have reversed themselves, taken
the back track and are doing Just
what the fusion platform pledged
it's candidates to do. This is a
sample of the insincerity and de
ception of the ordinary politician.

The word "Socialism' is like the
word "Democratic." There are
grades" of democratic government.
A pure democracy is where the
people vote on the laws themselves
and not through representatives.
There are Socialists and Socialists,
and most people in this countrY
are Socialists to some extent.

HAVE you noticed that about
one-half of the bills introduced by
Republican members of the lower
house at Olympia are bills that
were introduced by Populist
members two years ago, and the
Republicans have simply bor-

which they will later parade as
wonderful and original reforms.

Home Forum Organized.

On last Wednesday evening, MIR.

organizer for the Home Forum
Benefit Order, instituted Local
Forum in this city composed OF
fifteen members. Mr.. Proctor has
been in Ellensbulg for several
weeks, engaged in this business,
and in spite of the fact that this
city might almost be termed lodge
ridden, and the further fact that
this is the season of the year when
business is dullest in this com
munity, and most of our people had
exhausted their surplus change in
the extra demands made upon it
by the holiday season just past.
has succeeded in organizing an ex-
cellent lodge.
The successful organization of a
Local Forum here, under these
circumstances, indicates very
strongly that this order possesses
very unusual merit, and also that
Mr.. Proctor possesses in a large de-
gree the quality of hustler, as
we'll as that of being an honorable
and genial gentleman.
