POLITICS ELIMINATED.

At no previous election in Chehalis
county was partisan politics so thorough
ly eliminated as they will be this year,
and the amount of independent voting
is pretty sure to be greater than ever
before. The people have but to select
the best names on the ticket to act as
servants Of the county, and their political
faith will be no more considered than
their religious belief Each candidate
must stand on lis personal qualifications
for the position he aspires to.
This condition has been effected largely
by the action OF the democratic county
convention in removing the partisanship
arising out "f the election OF United
States senator from the campaign, by
pledging their legislative nominees, IN
the event the election of democrat Is
impossible, to vote for republican for
that office.
As the state is pretty safely republican,
there will be disposition on the part OF
such republicans as prefer the general
good of the state to mere party success
especially those who resent the interven-
ton of Levi Ankeny and his free trans
portation in this county-to support
legislative candidates for their personal
fitness and records. AS to the other
offices, the Independent voter
will insist upon employing the most
capable and fit. This will be bad year
for incompetents or Indifferent records
to rely upon party strength to land
them safely at the pie counter. The old
cry, "Stand by the party" will not
avail this time.

FARMER PROSPERITY.

In an enthusiastic report on the pros
perity of farmers in the west, Walter
Wellman essays to prove that farmers
are truly prosperous by the fact that
"the price of farm land is rising steadi-
ly." He mentions instances of the
doubling in value of farms since 1895.
This is queer way of proving the
prosperity of farmers. What it does
prove, and all it proves, is the prosperity
of farm owners. Now, farm owner
may or may not be farmer. If he is
not farmer, the increase in the value Of
his farms is of course no evidence of the
prosperity of farmers. On the contrary,
it makes it harder for farmers to get
farms. 1t is clearly evidence Of the
prosperity only of farm landlords. Nor
does it make any difference in principle
if the farm landlord happens to BE- a
farmer. So much of his prosperity as is
due to higher prices for farm land is not
his prosperity as farmer but as farm
owner.
The test of prosperity for farmers as
distinguished from farm owners, is the
wages of farm hands and the profits Of
yearly tenants. When these are high
farmers are prosperous as farmers.
When only farm land is high, they
are prosperous only as farm owners.
To regard the latter as agricultural
prosperity, is like regarding the great
value of Presidents Baer's anthracite
coal holdings, with which God has
intrusted him." as evidence of the
prosperity OF the striking miners.

Our republican friends are having
troubles of their own. The party in the
states that are skinned by the trust
breeding tariff, and VIII ose products are
not in the schedule of favored articles,
are in open revolt, and the president is
inclined to side with them. On the 9TH
er hand, Speaker Henderson declines to
run for congress on the Iowa platform,
that demands tariff reduction on trust
goods. Mark Hanna has donned his
war paint, and, at conference with
President Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay,
Monday, is said to have bid the presi-
dent defiance in these emphatic words,
with flushed face and clenched fist:
GAS long as l remain in the Senate,
and can raise hand to stop you, you
shall never touch a schedule OF the tar
iff act"
The issue between the people and the
trusts is becoming we'll defined.

IS 1T IN EARNEST?

The st. Louis Globe Democrat, repub-
lican, says: "The democrats are as
silent about the trusts as they are about
imperialism and militarism. The cam
pairn which the republicans are waglng
AGAINST them has taken the combine
question out of politics. Everybody
knows that the administration is IN
earnest in its suits against the trusts
which are now before the courts. II the
law is found, in the case against the ran
road merger or the beef trust, to be IN
ADEQUATE. new legislation will be hat.
Tie republicans are in the trust fight to
VIM" Z. cry democratic newspaper ana
every democratic orator is talking about
the trusts. and it requires considerable
courage of peculiar order,to be sure, ON
the part OF republican paper to say that
the democrats are silent on the trust ques-
ton. There will be no reason to believe
that "the republicans are in the trust
fight to win" until the administration
undertakes to enforce the criminal clause
Of the federal antitrust law which is in
deed the chief feature of that law. Civil
proceedings have been commenced
against the Northern Pacific proposed
merger and the beef trust. In neither
instance and in no instance has any at
tempt been made to bring criminal pro-
ceedings againt those who have con-
spired in restraint of trade. And yet in
the face of the fact that these are the
only proceedings taken, this republican
paper says that Everybody knows that
the administration is in earnest" on the
trust question.

The naval tournament in New Eng
land waters, in which one of the fleet
commanders distinguished himself and
shed glory upon the service by his recep-
tion to the American duchess OF an Eng
aish duke has been highly successful in
ansther respect. 1t has demonstrated,
say the Washington dispatches, the alb
sOlute need for larger navy. This will
be appreciated by the steel trust, and is
at the same time a proper rebuke to
those spineless creatures who have taken
the Prince of Peace at his word.

With this issue the HERALD begins its
seventeenth wear, having witnessed the
growth of Aberdeen from a mere hamlet
at the confluence OF the Chehalis and
Wishkah rivers, to the largest lumber
shipping port on the Pacific coast, if not
in the world. That the HERALD has kept
pace with the progress OF the city is
undisputed. From an insignificant
weekly paper of small dimensions, it
now makes its seventeen h annual bow,
as the leading newspaper OF Chehalis
county, in points OF circulation and in
huence, and furnishes its readers with
more real news each week than any
other two papers in The county. In
short, we are "stuck on the Semi

William J. Bryan's editorial criticism
OF President Roosevelt's trust apologet-
les, which appeared in the Commoner
of the 5th, was accompanied in the same
issue by Rooseyelt's speech in full. The
criticism is criticised in turn by Roose-
welt papers which allow their readers to
see nothing of the article they criticise
excepta few sentences wrested from their
context. That policy. though not com
mendable, is certainly shrewd. Few
things could be more dangerous to Mr..
Roosevelt and the trusts, than the pub
LEGATION, side by side in the republican
papers OF Roosevelt's speech and Bryan's
criticism.

While the HERALD is as anxious as an

While the HERALD is as anxious as any,
body to increase the fire protection Of
the city, it has some doubt as to the
wisdom of expanding 5000 for steam
fire engine at this time. The only dis
trict where the engine would be Of real
service is along the water front, and,
sooner or later, the city will be obliged
to have fire boat for that service. Un-
like Hoquiam, Aberdeen is not cut up
with sloughs from which to draw sup
ply of water for an engine, and with a
high pressure reservoir and enlarged
mains, such as are contemplated in the
immediate improvements for which $780,
600 has been voted, there will be no
necessity to attach an engine onto the
hydrants for an increase of pressure. In
all probability the council will find the
$40, 600 insufficient to build the reservoir
and enlarge all the leading mains, and,
in that case, it will be very necessary to
supplement that sum with all the money
the city can spare. If an engine be
determined upon anyway, it would be
wise business to defer the purchase until
the plans for the improvement of the
water system have been fully matured,
and we know what they are going to
cost.

Tom l.. johnson is evidently worrying
the plutocrats in wider field, as for
two years he has worried those of Cleve-
land. The indications are unmistakable.
1t is impossible now to pick up any
newspaper that works in plutocratic
harness which has not its sneer for
johnson. So badly IS the press gang
worried that Bryan is actually respect
able in their generous esteem.

Parker is ambitious to be the next gov

for the Office when Sanford B. Dole

the republican committeeship, was for
mer minister to Hawaii and later spe-
cial representative of the United
States there. He is son of the late
Arthur Sewall, who was Bryan's rum
ming mate in 1896, and has recently
come into large fortune by his ia
theirs death. Sewall was talked of for
the governorship of Hawaii, but failed
OF appointment. 1t is understood now
that he has given up particular interest
in the politics of the islands, and is
striving for the post of minister or
ambassador to some great foreign
power.
The republicans in the islands are
split into Dole and anti-Dole factions,
but as Parker is friend 1y.vith the lead
ers of both sides, he may be able to
reunite them.

\ Dun S Review, published by
the great mercantile agency,
r. c.. Dun & Co., in review
last years business, made a
statement which has created
considerable comment. In a
table based upon $50 articles
of necessary and common use,
such as meats, breadstuffs,
dairy and garden products,
etc, it is shown that
the cost of living was
6 per cent greater in 1900
than 1890; 81 per cent greater
in 1900 than in 1897; 40 per
cent greater in 1902 than in
1897. At the same time CEN
sus bulletins show that wages
in general are lower, because
in the cases where there have
been increases the proportion
of increase was far below the
increase in cost of living.
With those whose wages have
remained about the same, the
disproportion would be still
greater. It is to be noted
that this increase in cost of
living, is coincident with the
rise of the great consolida-
tons and monopolies of the
last few years. Thus the
chief argument of the mono
po1ists, that the great COM
binations reduce prices of
their products, is proved to
be fallacious.
