TEDDY THEN AND TEDDY NOW.

The redoubtablc Teddy Roosevelt has
complied with the lamentation son that
mine enemy had written book and by
so doing has given the people to under
stand how circumstances alter the con-
viction of men. In his life Of Thomas
II. Benton, Governor Roosevelt, on page
235, says:
"Not only the Columbia, but also the
Red River of the North and the Sas-
katchewan and Frazer as well, should he
wholly within our limits, less for our own
sake than for the sake OF the men who
dwell along their banks. Columbia,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba would, as
states of the American Union, hold posi-
tons incomparably more important,
grander and more dignified than they
can ever hope to reach either as indie
pendent communities or as provincial de-
Tendencies OF Il foreign power that regards
them with kind of tolerance akin to

NO ONE WOULD WISH TO SEE THESE, OR ANY
OTHER SETTLED COMMUNITIES NOW ADDED
TO OUR DOMAIN BY FORGIVE WANT NO
UNWILLING CITIZENS TO ENTER OUR UNION.
"The time to have taken the lands was
before settlers came into them. European
nations war for the possession OF thlckly
settled districts which, if conquered, will
for centuries remain alien and hostile to
the conquerors. We, wiser in our gen.
Grafton, have seized the waste solitudes
that lay near us, the limitless forests
and never ending plains, and the valleys
of the great, :.lonely rivers, and have
thrust our own sons into them to take
possession and score OF years after each
conquest we see the conquered land
teeming with a!people that is one with
ourselves"
This was written at time when Mr..
Roosevelt was not called on to endorse
imperialism and militarism in order to
further his political ambition. He then
talked as patriotic American. He now
talks like worshiper Of royalty.

The republicans of Chchalis county
have two candidates for the state ticket.
Sidney Moor Heath for supreme Judge
and r. B. Bryan for state superintend-
ent OF schools. That there is no possible
chance for Chehalis county to secure two
positions on the ticket is well known to
party leaders, and the opinion prevails
that Heath and Bryan are merely being
boosted for these places to kill their as
pirations for places on the county ticket.
If they would unite on one candidate he
would stand q show, but two candidates
from one county simply means that
neither will receive serious consideration
at the hands of the state convention.

The Declaration of independence is the
creed of the democratic party; the Battle
Hymn OF the Republic is its war song
and the national flag is it's party emblem.
With such creed, song and emblem
and with leader who is as patriotic as
Washington, as brave as Jackson and as
eloquent as Cicero the hosts of reform
marching under the banner of the new
democracy cannot fail to win this year in
an appeal to the patriotism Of the Amer
lean people. Democrat.

The chief feature of the republican
platform is laudation of the Nc
Kinley- Dingley tariff as the miraculous
promoter Of the country's prosperity, in
Guiding abundant harvests. Why fail to
mention the tariffs influence on this

increasing price of wheat?-Philadelphia

The cut worm may cost Nc <inlsy 81 0
votes in this county. Every farmer
knows-upon good republican authority
that his recent prosperity has been
through and by the grace OF Mckinley.
This being true, it is impossible to at
tribute the disastrous pest to any but the
same source. This is but the logical de-
duction from the republican "prospcrity"
argument.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1900-08-02

1t is noticeable fact that the gold
democrats who declare for Mckinley,
putting forward the danger Of free silver
at 16 to l as their excuse, are unable to
quite repress their imperialistic inclina-
tions. They thus unconsciously show
that with them, as with everybody else,
the paramount issue OF this campaign is
imperialism.

"The wheat crop is unusually bounti-
full in Kansas and flat failure in South
Dakota" observes the Boulder Mont
Sentinel "but it's dollars to doughnuts
that the republican orators will point
out that the Kansas crop is due to
republican efforts ard the South Dakota
famine to impending democratic peril. "
That is precisely the drift Of the rcpub-
lican prosperity argument.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
TAX VALUATIONS.

From the figures given in the Nidette
article of last week entitled "Tax Valu-
ations," it appears that there has been
an increase of $27S, 1919 in the value of
lots sand acreage and decrease of
xl1O.944 in the value of railroad track in
Chehalis county since 1899. Now it is
very easy to understand the reason for
the increase in the value of lots and
acreage or in fact an increase in the
total valuation OF all kinds of property
in county like ours that is increasing
in population and whose natural re-
sources are being developed, but why
there should be decrease of the large
sum of $l1O,944 in the valuation OF rail
road track is, to say the least, very
strange. We can conceive no reason for
this condition of things. There is GER
tainlv no fewer miles of railroad track,
but, on the contrary, more i'll the way
side track and yard extensions. The
track is in better condition now than
it was year ago, and therefore it would
seem more instead of less valuable.
Will the Nidette please explain?
1t is also stated in this article that the
assessed valuation of real estate and
railroad track in 1899 amounted to
$4,618,772 and personal property to
81 ,O06,2 PSF, making a total of $5,625 ,039
which seems to be correct. For 1900 the
value of real estate and railroad track is
given at $4,7S6,027, and personal pro-
perty at $3.50, 257, which would seem
to amount to $6,144, 2S4, and which
would make an increase in the total val
uaton OF $5l9, But the Vidette, by
some hocus pocus makes the total
assessed valuation for 1900, the sum of
$6,761 1874 and by this means figures out
an increase in the total valuation of190O
over 1899 of 81, 1926 Making differ
ence OF $617,O52. Again will the Vidette
please explain?
There are many other things that seem
queer in the valuations given as, for ex
ample, in 1899 there were l,722 horses
valued at $45,420, while in 1900 there
are 1925 valued at $56,S61, or an in
crease of in number and 81, All in
value. These horses must be thor
olghbreds and no mistate. Who owns
these valuable horses?
Taking this statement as a whole it is
very noticeable that the property Of indi.
viduals has increased in order much
more than that OF corporations. This
seems strange i'll view of the great and
valuable improvements thatShave been
made during the last year by the great
milling corporations such as the Grays
Harbor Commercial Company which is
stated on good authority to have made
improvements costing 1925, 1000 during
the past year, the West & Slade Mill
Company which has doubled its capital
stock since 1899 and the great improve.
ments that all Of said companies have
made within the past year. We sup.
pose this is one of the results of that
much lauded Mckinley prosperity and
as usual "the people pay the freight"

A valued correspondent asks us to-
kindly explain how an honest poor man,
of fair average intelligence, can justify
himself for intending to vote for Mr..
Mckinley again. There is no explaina-
ton. The honest poor man himself
couldn't furnish one.

Obituary..

Emily J Cowman was born near New
Petersburg, Highland county, Ohio,
May Sd, 1874, and departed this life
ON the morning of January 23d, 1900.
She was the daughter of John and
Caroline Cowman, the former of whom
preceded her to the better world
while she was yet in early girlhood.
Being the eldest daughter in the home,
she shared with her widowed mother
the cares, always taking upon herself
the greater responsibilities.
She was happily converted and
Joined the NJ. Z. Church at Greenfield,
o., in the 22d year of age, under the
pastorate of Rev. Sylvester Weeks.
In the fall of 1869 the family removed
to their pr esent home four miles north
of HillsborO. Never robust in health,
yet she was always faithful in her at
tendance upon all the means of grace
as long as able to do so. To those who
knew her in her home life, the name
of Emma Cowman calls up memories
of kindness of sympathy and unseltish
devotion. There are few homes among
her friends and neighbors where her
ministering hand has not given assist
ance, in death and sorrow. Gifted by
nature of a boundless ambition and
untiring energy, yet always true to
duty. Gods call to her seemed to be
in the home. To her aged mother,
brothers and sisters, she was ever the
competent adviser, planning and
working toward the fulfilment of all
home interests. Her greatest anxiety
to live was that she might care for
her aged mother in her declining
years. Emma was not afraid to die.
She spoke of death in perfect calm
ness and peace of mind. In letter
to her absent sister, Edna, written
Just a week before her death, she
said II may not be here long but it
will be all right" To her sister, Es-
ther. whose tender care was untiring,
she said: ''You need have no regrets,
YOU have done all you could for my
comfort" Her best wishes of those
left behind were that they might be
true followers of Christ. How sweet
to her viii be the rest of heaven, the
recognition of friends, the presence
of the Master.
The smile on her face il quiet,
And over her peaceful breast,
Her hands are folded together.
And the word on her life is "Rest"
