The people of Shelton and vicinity
/ listened to splendid address from,
John L. Wilson Tuesday night. and
also from John P. Hartman, a we'll
known Seattle attorney, who came in
as a surprise. Mr.. Wilson had a
splendid apprecIative and attentive
audience and made as good a speech
as he ever made in Shelton. Althoup h
tired by speaking every night for the
past month, from Montana to Wash
| ington, he holds up well, and talked
for an hour and half without firing
either himself or his audience. His
speech was replete with interesting
periods, aud his points were well
made, and left little cause for offense
to the democrats among the audience.
His speech dealt with we'll estab-
lished facts and conditions, and not
with theories, pointed out the great
prosperity OF the past three and half
years, in contrast to the depressing
times, and panic-striken people of the
previous administration, reminding
his hearers that the Republican party
must in a great measure be credited
with these results. as the wheels of
industry began to turn almost itnnie
diately after the election of William
Mckinley. He devoted but little az
tention to the ghosts of militaryisrn
and imperialism, but enough to show
that theory is not a new once having
done service in nearly every demo-
cratic campaign from Lincoln's time
to the present day. He demonstrated
the wisdom of the course of this ad
minlstration in dealing with the sex
pansion" question, and predicted the
wonderful advantages to be gained by
this country from what we had fallen
heir to, and especially the Pacific
Coast.
Mr.. Hartman followed in a plain
and brief talk on some of the questions
before the people, speaking not as
candidate asking for votes, but as one
of the ''plain people" looking for the
best interests of himself and those
around him. The Shelton Band fur
nished some excellent music, and the
meeting was very enthusiastic
throughout.

Olympia Firms Shut Out.

Several merchants in this city and
Tacoma are anxiously awaiting the
outcome of an incident that occurred
at Old Karnilcbe on Friday last, and
the merchants in question, to use a
street term, are wondering where they
are at.
Joseph Kullrich, we'll known in
Olympia, for sometime past has owned
a store and acted as postmaster at
Old Kamilchie. About a week ago
Mr.. Kullrich departed for Germany,
his native land, to pay a short visit.
He left his store aud the postoffice in
charge of H. H. Cooley. Everything
went on we'll enough until Friday,
when MIR. Cooley was called away from
the store for short time on business.
He closed up the esta blishment when
he left, but when he returned, accord
ing to information received here, he
found the store depleted of its stock.
1t is said that Mr.. Kullrich owed a
Shelton firm a sum of money for some
goods he had secured, and that during
Mr.. Cooley's absence agents of the
Shelton firm came upon the scene,
broke into the building and loaded the
entire stock of goods into a car and
carried It away.
The Olympia merchants referred to
had claims against Ku1lrich for goods
furnished also. They state that his
credit was good and that they knew he
was going to Germany but had no fear
but that on his return he would meet
their bills, as he had always done in
the past. What bothers these mer-
chants now is: What right had the
Shelton firm to break. into the store
and carry off goods, portion of which
had been supplied from Olympia
business houses? This query has led
to placing the matter in the hands OF
an attorney, who will endeavor to
| bring the Shelton firm to time for
its rather unusual Acknowledgements.
In regard to the above statement, 1t
| appears that MIR. Kullrich was owing
). q. Simpson an amount of money
larger than the value of stock IN the
store. and had, before leaving for Ger.
many, given deed to the property
An indemnity bond was given, and
the goods taken to Matlock, to the
Lumbermen's Mercantile Co.'s branch
store. The Olympia merchants who
profess to be aggrieved have all the
rights they ever had.

Pensions.

The party expresses its pride in the
soldiers and sailors of all our wars.
and declares its purpose to deal gen.
erously with them and their depend
ents. A liberal policy is natural and
necessary in a government which de-
ponds upon a citizen soldiery, instead
Of large standing army. Self-inter-
est, as well as gratitude, compels the
government to make bOuntiful pro-
vision for those who, in the hour of
danger, and at great sacrifice of bust
ness. health and life, tender their
services to their country.
The pension laws should be con-
strued according to the generous spirit
which prompted their passage. The
platform very properly reiterates the
position taken in 1896, that the fact of
enlistment shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that the soldier was sound
when the government accepted him.
A certificate given now to the health of
person 40 years ago, even if easily
Obtainable, should not have as much
weight as the certificate of the medical
officer who examined the volunteer
with a view of ascertaining his fitness
for army service.

The Democratic party is in favor of
the immediate construction, ownership
and control of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. The failure of the
Republican party to make any prog
ress in carrying ont pledge contained
in its platform four years ago, together
with the substitution in its latest plat
form of a plank favoring an isthmian
canal for a specific declaration in ia
vor of the Nicaraguan canal, would in
dictate that the Republican leaders
either do not appreciate the Importance
of this great waterway to the mari
time strength and commercial inter
ests of the country, or that they give
too much consideration to the interest
ed opposition of transcontinental lines.
The Hays-Pauncefote treaty, now be-
fore the senate, would, if ratified.
greatly lessen the value of the canal.
If it would not indeed convert it into
positive menace in time of war. The
paramount interests of the United
States in the western hemisphere. to-
gether with the obligations to defend
the republics to the south of us, makes
it necessary that our government shall
be able to close the canal against any
hostile power.

Indiana State Fair.

With fatIering prospects the Indi-
ana state fair-Indiana's biggest show
formally opened at 1 o'clock at In
dianapolis Monday afternoon. Tues
day the attendance was larger. Cen
orally speaking, the exhibition space is
all taken. The fair promises to be as
large and entertaining as any that has
been held for years. In many depart
ments the exhibits are crowded. John
l.. Thompson and Mason J. Niblack,
superintendent of the sheep and swine
departments, respectively, had larger
new pens built for the animals the
spacious barns could not hold and W.
W. Stevens. head of the mechanical
department, tried to solve the old
question of who to put a quart into a.
pint. The other departments make q
splendid showing.

Imperialism.

The subjects, however, treated in
this letter, important as each may
seem in itself, do not press so impera-
lively for solution as the question
which the platform declares to be the
paramount issue in this campaign.
Whether we shall adhere to. or aban-
don those ideas of government which
have distinguished this nation from
other nations and given to its history
its peculiar charm and value, is ques-
ton the settlement of which cannot
be delayed. No other question can ap-
prOach it in Importance; no other
question demands such immediate con-
sideration. 1t is easier to lose a repu-
tation than to establish one, and this
nation would find it long and labori-
Gus task to regain its proud position
among the nations, if, under the stress
Of temptation, it should repudiate the
self-evident truths proclaimed by our
heroic ancestors and sacredly treasured
during a career unparalleled IN the
annals of time. When the doctrine
that the people are the only source or
power is made secure from further at
tack we can safely proceed to the set
Element OF the numerous questions
which involve the domestic and eco
nOmic welfare of our citizens.
Very truly yours.

Corporations in Politics,

The Democratic party makes no war
upon honestly acquired wealth; neither
does it seek to embarrass corporations
engaged in legitimate business. but it
does protest against corporations en-
tering politics, and attempting to as
sumo control of the instrumentalities
of government. A corporation is not
organized for political purposes, and
should be compelled to confine itself
to the business described in its char
ter. Honest corporations, engaged in
an honest business, will find it to
their advantage TO aid in the enact
ment of such legislation as will pro-
tect them from the undeserved odium
which will be brought upon them by
those corporations which enter the po-
litical arena.

Further reflection and observation

The platform adopted at Kansas City

candor. independence and patriotism
which characterizes those who, at Phil
adelphia in 1916. promulgated the creed
Of the Republic.
Having in my notification speech,
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, imperialism. and added
some observations on militarism and
the Boer war, it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining planks of
