Opening Dayin Union.

"Wednesday was the day for the
usual spring opening of millinery and
spring dress goods at the Mutual
Dry Goods store, the Union Cotton
Mills Department Store, the McLurc
Mercantile Co, and the new milli-
merry store of Miss NJ. f. Tinsley.
There were TO be seen beautiful hats
on exhibition, soma Of the patterns
were very chic, and of the latest
Parisian designs. This makes four
millinery stores for Union this sea-
son, all OF them have experienced
trimmers in charge, and it should
not be very difficult matter to suit
the most exacting connoisseur in this
lire. They have some beauties for
Easter, call around and see them.
Our limited space this week does not
permit OF separate writeup and de-
scription of the beauties; go look for
yourself. Besides their millinery
display, the Mutual Dry Goods Co,
made an elaborate and very attract
i've display Of their beautiful dress
goods Of summer textures. One
long row of shelving was draped with
silks of every imaginable color. while
the opposite shelving were draped
with other spring goods for the ladies'.
The dress goods and millinery depart
nent, as we'll as the show windows,
were artistically and tastefully deco
rated, showing the handiwork Of ex-
perts.
M. w. Bobo, while making no pre-
tentions of special opening day,
certainly has fine display of nobby
spring goods on his shelving. His
new goods are coming in with rush
and he has a seemingly exhaustless
supply.
I. The Company Store, in addition to
their pretty hats and spring goods
for ladies, have just received a very
fine line Of clothing

THE DELINQUENT TAX LIST.

When all the facts regarding the
preparation and publication of the delin-
ouent tax list of the county come to light,
it will make one of the most unsavory
pages in the history of Chehalis county
and many of its pages are already badly
soiled. The affair of awarding the pub
LEGATION to the paper bidding the highest
price and OF the smallest circulation, is
too recent to call for repetition. 1t re-
NAMED for the commissioners, at their
meeting this week, to add the cap sheaf
to the bonus of the peoples money be-
slowed upon the pet organ OF the chair
man of the board, by allowing the pub
lisher's bill for several thousand
descriptions more than were actually
published.
The bill, as presented and allowed,
charged for each lot advertised, no mat
ter how many were included in single
description. Thus, a single description
would embrace land read) ''Lots to "a
inclusive" was paid for as "a descrip-
tons, the contract providing for pay
ment per description. So much for the
publication OF this list, for the present.
Later on we shall figure the exact amount
of this bonus and shall have more to
say on the subject.
AS to it's preparation. A glance over
the list by anyone at all familiar with
the names of the property owners will
discover that no effort appears to have
been made to summon the proper owners
of the delinquent property, and in num-
perless cases Smith is notified that
property belonging to Jones (probably at
! ttime owned by Smith) is being fore
losed for taxes. Any lawyer will tell
YOU that property cannot be alienated
without due process of law that to serve
a notice upon Smith is not serving a
process on Jones, and the result will be
that. so far as these cases are concerned,
the cost OF publication is wasted. No
body will bid upon realty at the sale
when there is no chance to get title. All
property unsold at the sale is bought in
by the county and dropped from the
assessment roll. This will leave the
county in imaginary ownership OF good
slice OF real estate, from which no rev.
enue can be derived until such time as
the delinquents desire to pay up, and as
reward for their delinquency they will
have escaped all taxes levied subsequent
to the county's supposed ownership.
There can be no doubt of the brilliant
acknowledgement manifested in this
affair throughout.

When the bicycle trade began to sub
side--it was in the year OF the last pres
idential election-the Republican papers
attributed it to the popular fears of APP
preaching Organism. Organism didn't
come, unfortunately for the best inter-
ests of the country, but the bicycle trade
Ianguished nevertheless. 1t is now re-
ported to have declined so rapidly and
to such a degree that whereas on the LIST
of January, 1900, there were 2SS factor
les in the United States, only SO were
left year afterward, and only "a on the
first of January, 1902. Were the Re-
publican papers talking for political eff
feet when they said that this is what
would happen in Ithe event OF Bryan's
election? Or is it due to Bryan's de-
feat?

from the HERALD is likely to receive
small heed from the republican county

deputy collector OF this port, it will be

ROOSEVELT ON COLONIES.

While the administration, under Pres
ident Roosevelt, is strenuously endeav-
oring to fasten the colonial system upon
this nation, it is interesting to read the
opinions of Theodore Roosevelt upon
that system. Mr.. Roosevelt once wrote
book entitled american Ideas and
Other Essays" In this book the au-
thor dwells at length upon the subject
of colonies, and doubtless the essay was
the candid opinion of an honest Ameri-
can, untrammeled by party necessities
or political ambitions. In this book will
be found tho following, which is as true
to-day as when written
cat best, the inhabitants OF colony
are in cramped and unnatural state.
At the worst, the establishment of a col
ony prevents any healthy popular
growth. Some time in the dim future
it may be that all the English-speaking
peoples will be able to unite in some
kind of confederacy. However desir-
able this would be, it is, under existing
circumstances, only dream. At pres
ent, the only hope for colony that
wishes to attain full moral and mental
growth, is to become an independent
state, or part of an independent state.
No English colony now stands on foot
ing of genuine equality with the parent
state. As long as the Canadian remains
a colonist, he remains in a position
which is distinctly inferior to that OF his
cousins, both in England and in the Uni.
ted States. The Englishman looks
down on the Canadian, as he does on
any one who admits his inferiority, and
quite properly, too. Under the best Of
circumstances, therefore, colony is in
false position, but if the colony is in
region where the colonizing race has to
to do its work by means OF other infer
ior races the condition is much worse.
From the standpoint of the race little or
nothing has been gained by the English
conquest and colonization of Jamaica.
Jamaica has merely been turned into
negro island, with future, seemingly,
much like that of San Domingo; and
British Guiana, however we'll admins
tered, is nothing but colony where a
few hundred or few thousand white
men hold the superior positions, while
the bulk of the population is composed
of Indians, Negroes and Asiatics.
Looked at through the vista OF the CEN
turtles, such a colony contains less prom
Use of true growth than does state like
Venezuela or Ecquador. The history OF
most of the South American republics
has been both mean and bloody; but
there is at least chance that they may
develop, after infinite tribulations and
sufferings, into civilization quite as
high and stable as that OF such Euro
pean power as Portugal. But there
is no such chance for any tropical
American colony owned by northern
European race.
