There is dearth of lodge rooms in the
city at the present time and from indica-
tions it looks as though the new build
ings soon to go up will not change the
situation. There are Is societies here
meeting purposes are taxed to their
utmost in giving accommodation. 1t is
stated that local commandary of the
Knights of Templar is to be established
here by removing the commandary from
Ellensburg and in this event another
hall will be needed Other new lodges
are in contemplation here, but with such
a scarcity of meeting places it will be
hard for them to secure a location.

From the action of the states Pan.
American exposition commission in not
allowing women chance to show their
work at Buffalo this summer, one would
Judge them an ungallant lot of men.
This action is condemnable, for the
women as whole have been a great
factor in placing this state in the fore
most rank of all the other states west OF
the Rockies. Especially is this true OF
the schools, where she has made herself
prominent in many ways aside from
that OF being merely an istructor. 1t is
a mean trick on the part OF the commits
sion and they will never be forgiven for
their action.

a small portion of Natchez river comes
from Rainier and helps to water the
Natchez and lower Yakima valleys.
As to the "source of water supply be-
ing above the timber belt and grazing
not done that far up" he is badly mis-
taken and should not have ventured the
assertion, for it is well known that they
have grazed all along the summit OF the
Cascades and in some instances on the
slope beyond. As to the source OF the
Natchez being Mt. Rainier that is-true
of small part of the Natchez, but not
OF large part The statement that
there is no sheep grazing at the real
sources of the rivers and streams that
supply all the Yakima valleys with wa

tiers and travellers in the mountains
know that there is sheep grazing at
the real source of every one OF them. 1t

sheepmen are destroying the water

President Mckinley will be here on
May 25th for hall hour or more. He
comes to the northwest as an American
citizen and not as the president of the
United States, and therefore it is every
body's duty, as loyal citizens, to pay him
due respect as becomes his station in
life. So far no plans have yet been
arranged by any of the civcic bodies to
greet him, but it is presumed steps of
this kind will be taken in due time, and
when the president comes he should be
shown about the city, and then taken to
the country, say over in the Mckee or to
Mob Hill, and instructed in the arts OF
cultivating land by irrigation. Welcome
the president.

The introduction OF new seed potatoes
into the Yakima valley has been more
of a reality than an Intellectual ''proposi-
ton" as some contended it would be.
Everybody realized last fall when the
tuber crop had been harvested that
something must be done to avert the
inevitable result OF di>crediting the
merits OF the Yakima potatoe in the
markets of the country if the practice
of using old seed over and over again
was persisted in by the farmers. And
now that good start has been made,
as noted in an other article in this
issue, let no one interested abate in
his work toward bringing about a
change that will be lasting.

1t is a common thing these days for
people to philosophize on the subject OF
plain Living and High Thinking
and then comment sadly that the time
for high thinking Is past because the
whole thought Of man is for the dollar.
"Plain living and high thinking are no
more, said Wordsworth in time long
ago, when the human mind was just as
deep in the important question OF "mak-
ing money as it is to-day. Words
worth prophesied falsely, too, for since
his time some OF the deepest thinkers
and most brilliant literary men the
world has known have graced the halls
of fame. Commenting on this subject
the Tacoma News says: .This paradise
OF Puget Sound should be the home of
poets, artists, philosophers and sages.
In such an environment as nature af-
lords here, plain living and high think
ing will add many 10 the immortals. !"
II the environment OF nature is all that
is required to make immortals, Hawaii
or the Philippines ought to produce
few of them. A poet or philosopher
could never endure the great humidity
of the Sound country all his thoughts
and actions would SAVIOR OF the slime Of
the mermaid slide. The Sound will
produce great "rustlers,' but great poets
and philosophers, never.

In all the history Of the world
there is not on record anything
that will compare with the
great American Republic, in de-
velopment along financial, agri-
cultural, commercial, or polite al
lines. From mere pigmy among
nations, the United States, in the
comparatively short period of a
little over one hundred years, has
developed into the mos, powerful
nation on the earth. Many are the
factors that have contributed to this
result, but foremost among them is
to be considered the broad, con
sservative constructive statesman
ship of the fathers of the nation.
Indeed it was most forum a te
thing that the nation in its infancy
had Its Teffersons and its Hamiltons.

people.
If the bill had been brought to a
vote. 1t would certainly have been
adopted, because in it were EN-
braced important interests of nearly
every state in the Union, while the
arid states of the Far West, if they
had determined 20 oppose the bill,
vo.ld have been only able to muster
mere squad Of members, SO that
the bill could not have been beaten
by votes.
But there were differences be-
tween the House and Senate in re-
gard TO certain items of the appro-
priations, and these were being
settled in conference committee,
out at the last moment when the
time was rapidly approaching for
the termination by law Of the ses
sion, when this bill should have
been reported in the Senate, SO that
1T could be put to vote, Mr.
Carter, of Montana, claimed the
floor and began to speak on It,
Only an hour or two of the session
remained, and he filled up the time
preventing vote which, without
doubt, would have carried the bill.
When i, is considered that Mr.
Carter was as good as officially
dead, having been repudiated by
the people of his state, who had
elected another Senator in his place,
and that his real term was already
at al end while he was striving to
defeat law which the Senate was
ready to enact, and which was of
vital importance to the American
people, his act must be character
ICED as an outrage, and wears the
appearance of being intended as a
defiance and revenge dealt upon
the people in most vital public
interest. 1t is gratifying to know
that such a man will not be able to
show himself IN .he Senate Chamber

never again as a member of that

WA ZK/N.S' SUCCESSOR.

The death OF Associate Justice
Louisiana, creates vacancy that
will have to be filed by appoint
ment by the governor. The ap
pointee will be selected from the
presented. There are quite num-
Der Of proIninent lawyers, who's.
names have been mentioned for this
exalted position. Among these is
IF Polnte CouPee. Mr.. Provosty
is an able lawyer and an upright
Tcitizen. He mas never been an
ptflc e-seeker. He conbiues all the
qualities that vii! go to make a
fearless, upright, and able judge.
We take pleasure iu indorsing him
for the place on the Supreme bench
IN AIDE vacant by the death OF Judge
Watkins. The following is taken
from last Tuesdays issue of the
Picayune:
The Iauented death of Mr..
Justice Watkins, Of the Suprem,
Court of Louisiana, makes in that
iistingu tribunal vacancy
which must be filed by an appointee
Of the Governor.
The great importance of this
august judi ciaI Office requires that
Governor Heard shall select for
the position one who, by virtue of
MS eminent professional qualifica-
lions and his high character, shall
be in every way worthy Of the honor
and dignity.
In this connection the name Of
Ion O. O. Provosty, Of Pointe
COupee parish, has been prOmi
nentiy mentioned, as, indeed, he
has been warmly Endorsed.
MIR. PrOvosty is one of the most
esteemed as we'll as one of the most
distinguished citizens Of Polnte
Coupee, Of which parish he is ma
tive. He was born in 1852, and is
a son of August Provosty, who was
prominent lawyer and planter Of
that section, and d member of the
Secession Convention Of Louisiana
The son was educated at George
town College, now Georgetown
University, an institution which has
turned out some of the most cele.
brated lawyers Of the South, notably
the late Judge Thomas J. Semmes.
Senator Of the Confederate States.
and Mr.. Justice White. now Of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
noth sons Of Louisiana. Mr.. Pro.
vosty was admitted TO the bar in
1872 and served four years as Dis
trict Attorney Of his parish, and
subsequently was elected a Stat
) natOr, making an admirable rec
ord In the celebrated anli-lottery
campaign in Louisiana he was con
>picuous in opposing the recharter-
ing of the lottery and contributed
greatly to the victory won by the
opposers Of that monopoly.
Mr.. PrOvOsty is married and has
given hostages to fortune in several
children. He is in the flower OF
middle age, vigorous, able, accom-
plishei in his profession and a cit,
zen Of the highest character. H.
has been inhorsed for this appoint
ment by many members of the bar

ley's four years as president of tn
United States was finished, and on
the same day he took the oath
again to serve this republic for an
other tour years as its chief magis-
trate. While no one, who has kept
run with current political events ex-
poets any change in the administra
ton of National affairs, yet all
loyal Americans everywhere, regard.
less of political preferences, will
watch with the keenest interest the
turn of affairs that are to take place
in the four years just ahead. The
four years of Republican control of
governmental affairs can hardly be
said to have been a success from
the standpoint of the honest, un
predjudiced student Of National pol
itics. 1t is true that at the time
Mr.. Mckinley entered upon the
duties OF chief executive, the WI ole
country was in very unsettled
condition, and even the most ardent
admirers of Cleveland are bound to
admit that his four last years as
president were a failure, so far as
the nation was Concerned. As to
whether this failure was attribute
BILE to Mr.. Cleveland himself, or TO
certain conditions over which
he, nor any one else, could have
had any control, is yet an open
question. AT any rate the condI
ton of the country, and most es-
pecially the financial status A,f
things were such that the Democrat
ic party was in disrepute, and the
majority Of the people looked for
ward to a change of national policy
as the only salvation from utter
disintegration.
The United States has already
reached that point where success is
measured from the standpoint of
the dollar. Corporations and finan
cial enterprises have reached such
a magnitude, and have permeated
every community, so that sentiment
holds no place in reckoning sue
cesses or failures. Things are meas
ured by what Mr.. Hanna was
pleased to call the ''full dinner
pail" And the protective laws of
the Republican party have been Of
such a partisan nature shat they
have built up lot of miilionaires
all over the country, even at the
subsection of the masses. SO firmly
have these great money owners en-
trenched the mselves In power that
they alone dictate terms to those in
authority. In fact under r, publ
can rule the plebian population
have absolutely no voice whatever
in the affairs Of the government.
Viewed then from the standpoint
of the rich class, the four years of
McKinley's administration has been
pronounced success. From thai
of the masses it has been pro
found failure.
That this condition will con
tinue, no one for moment
doubts, for Hanna, Representing the
capitalists of the nation, will con
tinue to be the power behind the
throne. But the day Of reckoning
will come, as sure as effect follows
cause, and the contemplate of
this reckoning, in the light OF past
history, will make a pessimist out
of the most pronounced opti'nist.
