BROWNE AND THE TEXT hooks.

Superintendent Brownies explanation OF
his reason for urging the preparation and
publication OF school text books BY local
talent and companies ia hardly safisfac-
tory. II Is now given out on all sides
that the great purpose was TO rid the
state Of n great 'octopur'-the American
Book Company. Inasmuch as the Amerl-
can Book Company has had but single

this state through state adoption. dur
ing the past ten years. ard as the award
ing OF contracts for the next I'VE years
was entirely In the hands OF Mr. Browne
and his associates, Il docs not seem that
any unusual or drastic measures were
necessary TO rid the state OF what seems
to- he entirely an imaginary evil.

A Stubborn Fact.

In introducing Congressman Jones
at the Ballard meeting Saturday
evening, the chairman called attention
TO existing conditions in that city and
compared them with the situation four
years ago. In 1896 the people were
struggling with the hardest times that
had been met since the city was found
ed Nearly everybody was In financial
difficulty, and men went about seeking
work in vain. The idle outnumbered
those who were fortunate enough to
find occasional opportunities TO labor.
and the serious problem of the hour
was how to keep the wolf from the
door
At the present time sill the able
bodied men of the place are engaged
in steady work at good wages. The
mills and other manufacturing con-
Germs are running on full time and
local trade has kept pace with the in
creasing activity in the larger indus
tries. A man anxious to work need
not long remain idle. He can get a
aside something for the future. In a
word, Ballard is now a scene Of solid
commercial activity and general con-
tentment. while four years ago it was
a place where there was dulness. dis
enlargement. II not actual privation, on
every hand.
This is genuine Republican prosperity
and evidences of It viii be found in
all parts of the state. IN cities, towns,
villages and among the farmers The
fact cannot be denied that under a
Republican administration good times
have returned. bringing cheer and com
fort to thousands of communities that
four years ago were battling with dis
tress. The Republicans maintained
that n their presidential candidate was
policies for which he stood. there would
be a restoration OF confidence all over
the land, and instead OF PROSTATE In
dustries, idle men and want and suffer-
ing. there would be a business revival
and improved conditions everywhere.
The promise has been fulfilled. and for
three years the country has enjoyed
a prosperity unprecedented
Attempts may be made to Fighter
the people with bogus Issues In order
that they. may forget that they are
In the midst of good times. but these
attempts win end in failure. The i'm
portant fact with which sthe people
must be most Impressed Is that n Re-
publican administration has brought
substantial relief to all kinds and con-
ditions ot men. and It is only reason
able to believe that the people will vote
to retain that administration in power
in order that the good times may con-
tinue.

That was wild day In Manila. Far
over near the Escolta somebody shot at
vagrant dog tapping water from lit
tlepoolunder one of the many hydrants.
The soldier police essayed an arrest;
the culprit broke and ran; the guard
fired; lot of coolies, taking alarm, fed
jabbering to the river side. The natives,
looking for trouble any moment, rushed
to their homes. Some soldiers on pass
and unarmed tumbled over the tables
and chairs in the Alhambra in their
dash for the open street. A stampede
sergeant told q bugler to sound to
arms, and in the twinkling of an eye
the call was taken up from barrack to
barrack, and the news went flashing
out by wire to the extreme front. The
shopkeepers hastily put up their shut
tiers and bolted their doors. Cabs, carts,
quilez and acknowledgement the street
cars-were instantly seized by the SOL
diery scattered all over town, and util-
lied to take them tearing back to Join
