FROM THE PEOPLE.


Ballard. June II. 1900.
To the Editor: Permit me through the
columns of this paper to voice the
thanks OF the ladies Of Ballard for the
intellectual repast which the Post-ln-
telligencer Of Sunday, June 10, spread be-
fore our hungry souls--the publication or
Mrs. Kate Epson Clark's most remarka-
BILE address. delivered during the session
of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, at Milwaukee. II is with pleasure
that / note from time to time the high
moral tone of the editorial page OF the
Post-1nteligencer, indeed OF the whole
paper. Ii cannot fail TO leave its I'm
press. 1t is one of the purest, safest,
best and strongest sheets published
throughout the length and breadth of
this great republic.
In this age of advancement and high
civilization there can he but few who do
not fully grasp Mrs, Kate Epson Clark's
idea OF Driving out the Beast" We
know we are not all divine. We know
we are not all beast. There are those
who say we do not see our own faults.
We most certainly do know our own
sins, and none SO well as we. Do not tell
me we walk blindly on in wrong doing.
We may walk weakly, stupidity, boldly
brazenly, but not blindyH God gave us
conscience and His spirit a lamp the
mark OF the divine within us; and every
time we smother conscience we permit
the beast in our nature TO grow and the
divine to dwindle.
The intelligent people of this age un-
derstand clearly the need of pure acts.
pure words. pure life, 10 nourish the soul

come, Even Ingersol. infidel as he was
called. could not always think this life

WHY NOT IN SEATTLE.
Commercial Museum Needed to Build
Up Oriental Trade.

San Jose Mercury
There should be established I'm some
city on the Pacific coast, preferably San
Francisco. because there is conferred the
largest commerce, museum Of Oriental
products and of goods In demand In the
markets of Asia and the Pacific islands,
similar In scope to the Commercial mu-
scum of Philadelphia, for which congress
has been asked to appropriate $500, 900.
What our people need In order TO enter
the Oriental trade successfully Is educa-
ton. They should know all about the
products OF the East, how they are grown
and how prepared for market the method
or handling them and the character of
the financial transactions involved. They
should also know what of our products
there Is market for. and especially in
what form they should be put up in or
DER TO meet the climatic conditions they
Will encounter and conform to the tastes
and preJudices and customs of the peo-
pie who are expected to buy them One
OF the most prolific causes of failure In
entering foreign markets Is ignorance OF
the preJudices and habits of the people
They are accustomed TO having certain
things In a certain way. and will not have
them otherwise 1t matters not what we
may think about II. or that our way IL
really better one. Success lies only In
pleasing the trade that ia sought. not in
ignoring It's leculiarities or seeking to ed
ucate It. Many of our American mann
facturers have overlooked the most inn
portant fact sent out goods without
studying the market they entered. and
then have become iisgusted because the
venture was not a success
IL la said by our consuls the world
over that Americans pay less attention
10 putting their exports into the form
demanded by the various markets than
do either the English or Germans and
this Is one OF the reasons why those
Keen traders almost absorb the Oriental
markets. This IS because we have lived
within our own shell so much CONNER
ctally that we have become insular ana
oigoted, and have too little considera-
tion for the customs and habits Of other
people. All this must change before we
can become the power in the world q conn

and this forced the expansion issue to the
front. The Democrats took the adverse
side, and their defeat by so large a ma

the anti-expansion issue will profit the

Oregon Republicans elect state officers,

our victory, or turn her back upon the
responsibilities IL thrust upon us.--San

It is really touching to notice what
an abiding and impersonal interest some
little fellows like the Tacoma Ledger
and Walla Walla Union take in King
county politics. The Post-Intelligencer
is simply contorted with pain because
they do not approve of it. The Union.
in particular. throws solid chunks of
high-minded morality at 1t because it
so far outra ged political propriety as
70 express its qualification with the ap-
prevail by King county Republicans OF
Mr.. Frink's candidacy. This. thinks the
Union, is a grave political indecency.
OF course the st-Intelligencer would
not compete in delicacy OF motive with
either the owner of the Union or the
pretended owner. who is the writer of
the article In question. This latter.
having been for long time the paid
promoter of faction. the hireling for
whom no service was too mental or dis
graceful IL adequately compensated. IS
a sight for men to smile at when he
devotes himself to the political moral
tiles. Once more we remind our con-
temporares esteemed and unesteemed,
that King county Is doing quite well and
feels amply able to take care of its local
political affairs without outside assist
ance. Hence the tears of those whose
occupation, though not exactly gone. is
neither as promising nor as lucrative
as of yore.
