Suicide must be taken into account
as a very frequent phenomenon under
present conditions of life. Compare
tive ease is the lot of most in early
years, and there would seem to be a
consequent weakening OF fiber. Each
day adds to the long list of those who
have slun', away from this world to
meet the dim mysteries of another.
When we try to mark uniform trait
in these unstable beings, some vital
defect that leads them so willingly to
the brink of what is dreadful to most,
the confession is forced that, beyond
a few salient circumstances usually
attendent,the suicide may be any man /.
He who strobe along in the iullness
OF manly power yesterday is today

For the first time since 1888 there
are no "third party" men in the Nat
ional House OF Representatives. With
the election OF 1890 there were eight
Farmers Alliance members and at
succeeding elections there have been
chosen Populists and Silver Republ
cans sufficient, in some instances, to
hold the "balance OF power" between
the representatives OF the other parties,
but the elections OF 1902 were dis
astrous to third party men.

The News belieyes that the interest

The News believes that the interest
Of the Republican party Of Washing
ton and the standing OF the state in
the nation will be best conserved by
the election OF Harold Prestoa to the
United State senate. He is the only
pronounced candidate who has stood
unequivc cally, squarely upon the
state platform adopted at the
Tacoma convention soon followed by
the ratification OF the voters with
crushing majorities. The expressed
will of the people should be observed,
their interests jealousy guarded and
party pledges kept inviolate. Where
would there be any sense or consis-
tency in choosing a senator unaltcr-
ably opposed to a railway commission?
If this measure demanded by the plat
form Of both parties in the last cam
paign is turned down by the Legisla-
ture about to convene the Republican
party will be in phenomenal luck if
they carry the state two years hence.
Preston has faithfully stood with Gov.
Mcbride in his fierce fight which has
been approved in state convention and
at the pollsin November and it is now
up to the Legislature. Imperative
instructions rest upon every membe r
elected this year to support the bill
creating an appointive railway COM
mission and the new United States
senator ahould be in harmony with
that law. Every thing being equal
our preference would lie for an East
ern Washington man, yet Adams
County will faro as we'll with a senator
from King rs Walla Waila, and then
ability knows no locality and Preston
is big, broad and good enough to rep
present the whole state. If the matter
was submitted to the electors of Adams
county, Preston would have a walk
away. Elect Preston now and Yakima
Jones to succeed Senator Foster.

There is more selfshness in the
world than gratitude. From child
hood to old age we are bcggars. From
the moment child can lisp his
mothes's name he begins to beg. He
keeps it up as he grows older. When
he gets to be man he begs business
and Office and honor. Rarely does he
stop to thank those who help him.
Take the average prayer. 1t is con-
tinued petition for some gift from the
Great Oliver. Rare is the word OF
thanks for what we already have, when
the truth is that time would not
suffice to catalogue all the blessings
daily showered-upon us. Our prayers
are the cries OF the horse leech. We
are never satisfied. The common sin
OF men is to look at what they have
not and not what they have. We
magnify our wants and minimize our
possessions. AS people we have a
strong tendency to mendicancy. We
are in danger OF becoming n nation OF
beggars. See the millions who are
drawing pensions, and the other mil
lions who are begging Office and the
many millions who are trying to live
without work. We have gone daft
upon freedom. We not only want
free thought and free speech, and free
schools and free silver, but there are
a good many who would like to be
free to use their neighbors' property
and even claim it by divine right.

When Ralph Waldo Emerson was
asked to join u "reform association" he
declined, saying that it had always
taken all his time and attention to
achieve halfway reform within him
self, and that he was not arrogant
enough, with his own personal refor-
nation sadly incomplete, to assume
to reform others. Mr.. Emerson
thought "moral reformers" were prone
to the vice Of ell-righteousness rather
than to the Christian virtue OF humil-
ity. He had observed that many per.
sons, in their anxiety for the reforma.
ton OF their neighbors neglected to
reform themselves. He believed that
the best "moral reform" work was
self-ref formation on the part of the
individual. Success in this direction
was the shortest road to the salvation
OF society, while moral reformers were
in danger OF losing their own souls in
their feverish anxiety over the fate
OF others. In their efforts to save
everybody they save nobody.

didate Dreiers qualifications is express
sive OF a strong determination to
eschew eXpedients and get at facts.
This is right. Nothing can be lost to
the party by meeting this issue square

legal ruling. which shall not only de-
termine the status of the present candi-
dates but will also clear the pathway
OF any possible complications in the
future.
Carrying out the theory expounded
yesterday by Secretary Cooper, II Is
possible to nominate anyone provided
papers are signed by the required num-
Der of qualified voters. This would
open the way TO various forms OF poll
tical trickery which may mislead the

Cooper has interpreted ythe election Law
correctly, the sooner this is Known the

The voters should know the law, not
as 1t is interpreted by individuals, but

1t is a recognized principle of the
Republican party that II shall deal
fairly with all men. II is an honest
party seeking the vote of the people by
honest methods. 1t will gain more in
the esteem Of the people of this Terri
