The Outlook, OF New York, in its issue

The Outlook, of New York, in its issue
OF September Is, has brought together,
in what is called "autborized form the
speeches relating to trusts which were
recently made by President Roosevelt at
Providence, Boston, Fitchburg and Ban
COR. In doing this the Outlook has
shown co.cmendable enterprise and de-
serves the thanks OF its readers. Ii We
did not have all of these speeches 10.
gether we might think from the earnest
tone OF one that surely there must be some
real strenuosity in another. But reading
them all together, and eliminating the
sentence after sentence of what the
president is candid enough himself to
characterize as perfectly trite, i" we find
a strenuous example OF strenuosity de-
strenuized. The whole situation is given
away" by the single fact that there are
speeches on trusts and not Il word I'm
favor of reducing the tariff This, too,
even when conventions OF the presi-
dents own party are seeing and pro-
claiming the inevitable connection OF the
two. President Roosevelt is not SO
quick as Speaker Henderson at seeing
danger signals ahead.

The Bulletin persists in posing Mr.
Graham rs the anti-gamb bling candidate
for sheriff, Notwithstanding the fact that
it is an open secret that, in the remote
contingency OF Mr.. Graham's election
the present 'wide open" sheriff will be
his deputy. The evening paper says Mr..
Graham has always obeyed instructions
OF the city council. As he will not have
the valuable aid OF that council to Sin
struct' him, in that 'remote contin-
sercy," we fail to discover why there
should be any more lining up" over
the office OF sheriff than over any other
office. Ii the Bulletin will indulge in a
little mind expansion it will admit, what
it knows, that with either Mr.. McHugh
or Mr.. Graham in the sheriff's office,
the chances are equal that the office will
be fairly we'll filled, and the laws equally
we'll enforced. Both these candidates
are running, and must run, on their
personal popularity, leaving the general
public to decide the question OF superior
fitness, and the attempts OF the friends
OF Graham 70 Line up" the people by
Iasses in his favor must necessarily be
accepted as a sign OF discovered weak
ness in their candidate.

Evidently, Friend Carney OF the Aber-
deem HERALD has not read the republican
state platform. If he had he would not
make such foolish break about its
turning down the labor interests.-Cos-
mopslis Enterprise.
Oh yes, Bro. Pattison, we have read,
and read closely, the republican state
platform, and found the same old glitter
ing generalities in favor Of the working
man that have done duty in republican
platforms, as lure for votes. for more
than q quarter of century. But, this
time the organized labor Of the state,
tired of the old, meaningless platitudes

had prepared four bills, drawn carefully
and ably, the passage of which was
deemed beneficial to them. These bills
were placed before every convention in
the state Of Washington this year. The
democratic convention OF Chehalis coun-
ty, and of the state, adopted those bills
rs part and parcel of their platform,
while the same bills were turned down
by the republican conventions in this
county and state. Nuff ced.
