Let me reason with myself-and
you.
Suppose for a moment, am a
farmer, aud own or rent land. Five
years ago farmed 100 acres. Times
were bad, crops were poor, my wheat
brought only 40 cents bushel at the
farm, and my corn only Is cents. It
was cheaper to burn corn in the stove
than to buy wood or coal. / saved
enough wheat for seed, and sold the
rest, but didn't get enough to pay the
storekeeper what 1 owed him, and
could get no more credit. / owed a
big payment on my farm machinery.
Thank heaven, the agent of the har-
yester company extended the time on
my note for another year. That saved
my home and the lives of myself and
family.
That was under Cleyeland's demo
cratic administration.
Four years ago Mckinley was nomi-
mated for president. 1t was a happy
omen for the tillers OF the soil all
over the country.

Another year and three more years
have gone by, and am still prosper

have almost forgotten the hard times
before William Mckinley came to be

the world. But / have not forgotten
that have piano in the ouse, that
two boys have been fitted for college,
that my wife and daughters are we'll

Like flash of lightning, sudden and
startling, disease strikes down many a
man. Yet there have been warnings
upon warnings, unheeded. Food has
lain like heavy weight in the stomach
after eating. There have been belch-
ings, bitter risings in the mouth, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness and growing irri-
liability. Instead of listening to these
warnings, recourse has been had to some
of the nerve numbing palliatiyes that
cover but never cure disease. Many
serious diseases begin in a diseased con-
dition of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition. For such dis
eases there is one medicine which rarely

A LITTLE probing developes rotten
ness in every branch of the Rogers
fusion administration. The several
irregularities connected with the hos
pital for the insane at Steilacoom are
coming out, among them several
mysterious deaths due to almost Grim
inal negligence in the care of our un-
fortunate insane. The heads OF both
asylums, as well as the appointees un-
der them, we're apparently not selected
with special reference to their fitness,
and incompetence is general, as it is
under nearly every branch of state
service. There are men in the demo
cratic and fusion ranks who would be
credit to the state, but the cheap
pot-house politician is the only class
represented. If the truth were known
now, as it will all come out some day,
every conscientious man would blush
to know that such things exist. And
the Rogers regime is a "reform" ad-
ministration. The truth is that the
ability is lacking, When the Govern
or and those on the state ticket are
known to be men who are practically
non-entities-failures as it were-how
can they be expected to give the state
successful administration.

THE N. P. and Burlington lines
have recently granted the Puget Sound
Mills a considerably reduced rate on
lumber shipments to central points,
which will very materially relieve the
situation here. For the past two years
all the large numbering concerns and
hundreds of smaller operators have
been rushing logs into the water be-
yond the capacity Of the mills to saw
them up, although working at their
full capacity. While the fifty-day
shutdown relieved the situation some
what and kept log prices up, there are
still large quantities of logs ahead o
the mills. The China trade fell OF
since hostilities began there, but the
mills have not let up and still seem tc
have orders ahead. No better years
than 1899 1900 have been experienced
on Puget Sound for decade in The
numbering and milling industries
which have now assumed vast propQi
tions, thanks to the Republican pol
which protects us from our Canadian
neighbOrs.

Bryan and His Bathos.

In his frantic appeals to prejudice,
IN his endeavors, to array one class
against another, Bryan seems to have
almost reached the limit. In going
SO farshe has thrown aside all pretense
OF fairness and no longer even essays
logic.
A recent speech delivered by him at
Quincy was nothing less than shame
ess in the hollowness and bathos by
which he sought to make n point
where there was no argument to be
made. Here is an extract from what
he said:
AS pass along the route and as
look into tle faces of some of the care
worn women who never get chance
to take a summer vacation at some
pleasant water place, l wonder how
the husbands and sons Of these women
can find it in their hearts to support
the policies which are today amassine
great wealth in the hands of few
people with rapidity never known be-
fore in the history of the world.
As a remedy for this Bryan proposes
to make every dollar of the poor man
worth half its present value, to stop
the wheels of industry by soaring cap
ital away; and then, if the poor man
be still unsa.is6ed he may Joy in the
spectacle of the flag being hauled down
and a Croker directing the policy of
the president. Bryan would like to
make the people of the United States
feel abused and unhappy. For the
sake OF proving his absurd gospel of
grief not dream, and establishing his
own merits as prophet, he would be
glad to see the country plunged into
all the trouble he has predicted for it.

of the interests ofsthe Pacific coast in
this campaign. He is against every
one of them. The coast is. interested
in the preservation of the gold stand
ard, because it wants markets for the
products OF It's mills, its farms, and It's
fisheries, and wants its pay for the
products in gold. And, by the way
the more valuable gold becomes, the
better this people will suited, for they
are selling great deal more than they
are buying. The coast also wants the
government to keep the Philippines
that its markets may be extended and
its commerce enlarged. This coast
also wants the ship building industries
encouraged and built up. The inter

Hon. Mason Irwin.

The subject of this sketch has long
been prominent figure in the legal
fraternity in the State of Washington.
Mason Irwin, the Republican nomi-
nee for superior judge of the judicial
district composed OF the counties of
Chehalis and Mason, was born and
reared in Juniata county, Pennsylva-
MIA, and educated in the common
schools and a classical academy OF his
native county. He was raised on a
farm and knows what it is 10 toll from
morning until night. After COM
pleting his school work he taught
school, clerked in store and id the
meantime read law. He was admit
ted to the bar i'll 1879, after which he
served one term as prosecuting attor-
ney OF Juniata county.
In 1884 he came to the Territory of
Washington and in 1885 settled fin
Chehalis county since which time he
has climbed to the top of the legal
profession.
He was elected superior judge OF
this district in 1889 at the first cleo
ton held under the constitution.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
had new constitution, new rules OF
practice and mass OF conflicting
statutes incident to the new order oi
things, Judge Irwin served with credit
to himself and to the eminent salts.

OUTSIDE of the partisans on both
sides of the fence, and those who ex-
pect to profit from politics, there is an
immense independent vote, which
holds strict allegiance to neither party
but votes as it feels when the time
comes. Now is the time this class of
voters is doing its thinking. 1t re-
solves itself down to a simple and
purely selfish proposition. We had al
most forgotten the fact, but conditions
for the great mass of the people were
very bad under Cleveland's admins
tration. They have been very good
from the inception OF the present ad
ministration. Shall we waexchange these
conditions for evils we know not OF.
