DISPATCHES from Washington state that Con
gresham Romeo II. Freer will within the next few
DAYS make the formal announcement that he IS not
a candidate for governor ln that event Hon. A.
r White will have been the only candidate to an
nounce himself and quietus will have been put
upon the talk in some quarters that his candidacy
is to be bitterly and vigorously opposed Congress-
man Freer is rapidly forging himself to the front
in Congress- and before this session is over be Will
be listened to with much respect for his ability IN
the halls of the national legislature. He holds a
position in which he and will serve his state
ABLY and well and the consensus of opinion is he
will be quite loath to be transferred to another
place of usefulness, long as the opportunity
presents itself to continue good work for his con
stituents the state and the nation generally On
the other hand Hon. A. b. White is good clean
man. Objectionable, of course, to the democrats
because of that fact, He has beenGeminently sue
cessful in all his undertakings, business and polit
ical and has been cean.cut in all his advocates of
state Legislation, conscientious in his beliefs and
not timid in the expression of his convictions.
Democratic politicians have ever hated him be-
cause of his power as republican editor, and they
now antagonize his nomination because they rec
ognize him as a man whom they cannot defeat,
They want something easy togo up against this
time. but they are going to miss their guess. The
republicans will put up a winner and we are going
to win. Might as we'll paste that in your hat now

STEEL PRICES
 ID BE MAINTAINED
Structural Iron and Steel Com panieS Agree Not to
 Cut Prices.

New York, August 9.-1t was learned to- day that the representatives of the struct- ural iron and steel companies met in secret session at the Holland House on the previ- ous day, and, contrary to expectation, agreed to maintain prices. It had been ru- mored that the manufacturers thought se- riously of cutting the price of beams and angles and that there were international dissensions in the pool, the prime movers of which are the Carnegie Steel Company and the American Bridge Company. An official of the latter company is authority for the statement that the relations among the various companies were never more harmonious and that there is no thought of disbanding the pool. The trade prospects are reported to be excellent, some of the companies having booked orders for the first six months of next year.

SOUND SENSE FROM MR. STEELE
Solid Reasons Why Roundlap Bales Are
 Worth More Than Square Bales

Mir. J. H. w. Steele, Secretary of the Texas Standard Bale Compress Associa tion in letter written to the West Times, June 30, says Let me say a plain word to the plain people For the same reason that you pay more for good coat than you would for a ragged and sleezy one, so will the English and German spinner pay you more for neat, dense, well-cov- cred bale than he will for what is left of an unsightly bag, which has lost half its value by wet, waste, pilfery and dirt"
 For exactly this reason, spinners pay more for Roundlap than for square bales of any size whatever. It is precisely because Roundlap bales are meat. dense well oov- cred" protected against fire, moisture, waste. theft and damage, that they are worth more to spinners than an "un- slightly square bag which has lost half its value by wet, waste, pilfery and dirt. It is precisely for this reason, also, and because of the savings made in the wrap ping, handling and shipment of Roundlap bales that buyers are able to and do pay for them a premium above the value of square bales sufficient to pay the baling charge and leave the owner a substantial profit besides.
