HERE'S A
SUGGESTION.

When you want first-class daily
newspaper--
One that eXcels in Northwest news;
One that spares no pains to get the
news of the world and print it first
One whose commercial and financial
news and market reports are admitted to be
the best;
One that is fearless and fair in its
editorial discussion of live topics--republi-
can but independent;
One that contains Barts cartoons,
the Journal Junior--a weekly paper for
children without extra cost = Jermane s
daily Washington correspondence, and
many other notable features peculiar to
that paper.
There is only one thing for you to do
and that is to subscribe for

A LOOK BACKWARD.

The election is over and enough is
known of the result to make it clear
that there has been no change of great
Importance in the general political stu
alton.
All those Democrats who have been
regarded as aspirants for national lead
0rship of the party have seen their re-
spective states go against them. Bryan.
Hill. Coler. Pattison, Cleveland, Tom
johnson, Carter Harrison are all in the
same boat Defeat is so general and
decisive that it may prove beneficial to
the organization by uniting the hitherto
warning factions throughout the coun-
try, and bringing to the front new
chieftain.
If any man among those mentioned
above had been able to pull his state
out of the Republican column, harmony
probably might have been as far off as
ever. 1t looks now as though party
peace and any important success could
only come, if at ALL through new lead
ership. Out of the halls of congress
may come the Democratic chieftain of
1904 as did Mr.. Bryan. Meantime the
G. o. P. will continue to do business at
the old stand

monkey was the cause of the flight. Gerald
Coventry, the stage manager. and Will

the women returned and FASTENED to feed
the little beast. Late in the afternoon it
was contentedly munching candy, peanuts
crackers, olives. bird seed. and bananas.
