According to the Tacoma News
the Republican platform adopted
at the late state convention was a
model document both for brevity
and wisdom. 1t was hardly ex-
pected, owing to the News Demo
cratic proclivities, to hear it own
up to such, however true it might
have been. The rule has been
reversed and there seems to be one
good Democrat that's not dead.
While Albert Michaud, the Ia
coma murderer, was pulling hemp
like the very old Nick for the
other world, it is said, that one of
the newspaper reporters. there to
witness the affair, sat on the doom
ed mans coffin, and before the last
act of that heart sickning drama,
which snatched a fellow being to
the "great beyond" the reporter,
on his easy seat, cracked jokes at
the expense of other men, who had
been similarly taken from this
world of woe. Now, buddy, your

have any idea.
Going into politics to make
money usually ends in disappoint-
ment,'' comments the Adams
County News. There are men in
King county that will not agree
with you, Mr.. Thompson, on that
score, that is, if they would talk
for publication, and, your friend,
Levi Ankeny knows better and
knows it from personal experience,
as all the politicians that he has
had dealings with had money to

"Bryan has come and gone,"
was an expression that was set up
quite a number of times by the

he has come and gone and but few
newspaper men, but that know he
has done his cause very little good
by his coming and going. If the
tone of the country press of this

Jennings Bryan will not get as
many votes in this state in 1900 as
he did In 1896 by thirty per cent.
Centralia is having some trouble
over it's bicycle ordinance, and, in

From the Democratic papers it
is seen that Mr.. Bryan quotes
freely from Lincoln's speeches
made during his famous debate
with Stephen A. Douglas. Mr..
Bryan can quote all he wants from
Lincoln while he is in the North,
but he had better not take those
speeches South with him or he
will not get a Southern vote. He
will be In worse fix should he do

the Southern Democrats of being
banqueted in New York City and
eating. at a.dinner table at which
there were Negro politicians sitting.

: Is it not just as easy Brer. Pratt

than you would for telling the

queer freaks in their feeble attempt
to edit newspapers.
It is estimated that Clarke

did you hear Bryan and what
did you think of him? Seattle
Herald. Yes, we heard him and
heard him very distinctly.
Well, we think, he is a perfect
success when it comes to glitter
ing generalities, extravigant politi-
cal enuendoes and desiring to
disgrace the American Nation by
wanting to haul down the FLAG
over territory which has been
honorably and bravely won by the
gallant 'boys of blue" Now,

"How about Tacoma?"-Puyal-

There is one very noticeable
thing about the state newspapers
that represent different kind of
politics than Republican, they sell
dom ever quote from anything but
their own party papers, and, when
they do feel called upon to quote
from a Republican paper, they
give it the 'Ex'' credit. Here is a
weakness that Republican papers
never give up to, they quote as
readily from Democratic or Popu-
list paper as from a Republican
one.

The annual report of Chehalis

last year the county had the
heaviest expense account that it

collections which are on the way from

Bicycles win BE Lighter.


There are signs that in the bicycle
models Of 1901 there will be a second
step in the direction of a return to
light weights. The first step was taken
this year, but it was not a positive one.
The wholesale trade is by no means a
unit when the question Of weight
comes up, and the retailers seem to
have been slow in waking up to the
fact that heavy wheels have been
hurting the sport. This has been es-
pecially true with regard to women, to
whom the increased weights and gears
have been a decided check. They
found that pedaling tired them more
than Of old and did less of it. The
first announcement of next years mod
els and prices from n of the largest
plants in the country shows the intro
duction Of several new models in light
wheels which were not listed this year.
These include a 10 pound racer and a
221a pound roadster. The prices of
this line show the same figures on the
light roadsters as the regular road
wheels sold for this season, an increase
of $40 for the racing model and a re-
duction of S. for the wheels of this
year. This early announcement indt-
Gates that prices will rule firm at their
present status, while a reduction of
weights will be one of the chief fea-
lures of next years wheels.

meeting in New York in a short time
President Soden of the Boston club will
suggest an important change in n Of
the playing rules relative to the in
closure in which the batter stands.
says a Boston dispatch to the Wash
ington Post. He will recommend that
this Enclosure. called the "batter's box"
be defined by four rubber Of
the same texture as the home plate.
The present rule provides for lines
marked with lime or chalk. which wear
u in less than an inning. Some bat
ters make a practice OF standing as
near the plate as possible, particularly
when the line is indistinct and the
plate is half concealed by the dust. and
make it hard for the pitcher to be &C.
curate. and difficult for the umpire to
call balls and strikes.
IF all four Of each of these
batter's boxes could be designated by
squares of rubber" says Mr.. Soden.
there would be a permanent and I'M
mistakable gauge by which the umpire
could go, The squares. something like
an L. would be broad enough to be
plainly seen. and the umpire could al
way tell by them whether a batter
was in his proper position"
