Want Bright Light.

Let your light shine in your home,
and do not be afraid that it will become
all the time as some people do the
gas" says the Tacoma New Herald.
Well, neighbor, if current reports be
true, it would not be we'll for your
light to shine very brightly, especially
in campaign times, lest your neigh
bors see you going home rather "heav-
lily loaded" for the lateness of the hour.

Jag Dispensaries Thrive.

In the Thunder mountain region of
Idaho SO says the Everett Weekly
Herald, 1000 claims have already been
located, but the fellows who have
staked out boarding houses and jag
dispensaries will be the magnates of
this Eldorado. So far as the jag dis
pensaries are concerned, they are not
only the Eldorados at mining camps,
but they are the EldOrados of the cities
as well. Every prominent corner that
jag dispenser can get has hands on
is gobbled up in Seattle, and it is sur
missed the same is true of Everett, be-
cause they pay we'll

A Peculiar Reform.

From the Aberdeen Bulletin it is
learned that peculiar feature of the
moral wave that has overtaken Aber-
deem is that it does not proceed from
the people who pose as moralists, and
gambling has been closed in that city
because the gamblers have fallen out
among themselves. Same here, too,
Pete. Gambling is closed in Seattle
by one of the most notorious gamblers
and dive keepers on the Pacific Coast,
and closed because he is able to say to
the administration, "Close all gam
bling until the cut throats and gam
blers agree to give me 20 per cent.

Increase Water Supply.

The Cascade canal proposition is oc-
cupying the attention of the citizens
in and about Ellensburg to a consid-
cradle extent at present, according to
the Capital of that city. 1t is the in
tention of the company, when thor
oughly organized, to build a canal
through the agricultural section of that
country that will reclaim thousands of
acres of arid land, as well as furnish an
ample supply of water for all of the
farming lands of Kittitas county.

Speaking about the intention of
Mayor Humes being a candidate for
Congress next fall prompted well
known politician about the city one
day this week to remark, Il have been
very creditably informed that it is the
intention of the Pipers to nominate
Humes and then treat him as they did
Frink in 1900 and then charge it
up to the Wilson people throughout
the state. Rumor has it that Mayor
Humes has made peace with the Will
son people and if he aspires to go to
Congress they will not object to him
in the convention. Now if the Pipers
can get him nominated and then de-
feat him they will have killed two
birds with one stone
George Piper still has a dangerous
knife up his sleeve, which he hopes
to be able to effectively use on Levi
Ankeny in the very near future. Not
that he is not pretending to be at
work for Levi Ankeny at the present
time, but if the opportunity presents
itself, George Piper won't do a, thing
to the banker of Walla Walla. Some
time ago Piper was decapitated from
the management of Ankeny's senator
ial campaign and Stevens of Tacoma
was inaugurated in his stead This
was like gall and wormwoOd to Piper
and though he consented to look after
Ankeny's affairs in King county, yet
he has plotted all along since that time
to give Mr. Ankeny the double cross
if possible. 1t was for that reason
that Harold Prestons name was
sprung for the United States Senate
after Piper has summered in and
about the northwest section of the
state, where he was in frequent con-
sultation with the present governor of
the state and finally got his consent
to help him boom Preston.

From the Fairhaven H

From the Fairhaven Herald the fol-
lowing unique excerpt is taken
Ladies Entrance signs are torn
down. Ladies will be compelled to
drink at home hereafter" Better have
said ladies neither drink at home nor
at saloons, for the woman who INDUCES
in strong drink, either at home or
abroad, as a beverage, does not par
take of many of the qualities that are
essential in the makeup of the true
lady

1t is learned from the Shelton Jour
nal that few disgruntled Democrats
in that community are not satisfied
with the Tribune, the Democratic pa.
per of Mason county, and propose to
either buy the Tribune out at very
low figure or freeze it out. That is un-
American and should not be done
Democrats, however, are pretty nearly
always un-American in what they do
and this isolated case is nothing out
of the ordinary with that peculiar tribe
of American antiquarians.

kibbees Mixed Up.

The editor of The Republican
learned from the Elma Chronicle that
he got the Kibbees all mixed up few
days ago. Editor Kibbee, ST., is still
with the Elma Chronicle, while Editor
Kibbee, Jr., has purchased the Cen
tralia Chronicle. Editor Kibbee, Sr.,
says Editor Kibbee, Jr.. is not a vet
eran editor, he only having had one
years experience in the editorial busi-
ness. Editor Kibbee, Jr., however, is
a chip off the old block, and that being
true, he was veteran at the business
even before he begun it.

Heavy Tax Levy.

A local item taken from the South
Bend Journal says: The receipts for
the taxes on the Weyerhaeuser land in
Pacific county were completed Tues
day, and amounted to $1S,970.34" 1t
would appear that either that company
has vast amount of land there or the
county assessor has decided to make
the company pay the running expenses
of the county because the assessor,
perhaps, has it in for the company.

Import New Officers.

If Colfax cannot SO regulate the BIZ
riding on the sidewalks of the main
streets of the city, it is suggested that
Colfax import city administration
that will pass and enforce laws to that
effect. Perhaps the city council that
Colfax now has would do so, but it
fears that it won't be reelected.

It's For Sale.

It's For Sale.
After having given a municipal light
ing plant a most successful trial the
city of Vancouver, so says the Colum-
bian of that city, has decided to sell
it's plant and has advertised for bids
for the same. rs the purchaser the
city agrees to give a franchise for a
period of fifteen, twenty or twenty-five
years, and to take from SO to $50 arc
lights and number of incandescents
regularly. Where are the advocates of
municipal lighting plants just now
What have they got to say of this most
glaring failure?

Another Watch Dog.

And now comes the Washington In
dependent with watch dog" of the
city treasury of Pomeroy. 1t would ap-
pear that these watch dogs are becom-
ing quite numerous throughout the
state here of late. 1t would not be a
bad idea to begin to watch some of
these watch dogs, lest some of these
bright mornings some of the flourish
ing towns of this state will wake up
with an empty treasury and fugitive
watch dog.

| Need a Paper, Too.

Kent may need more new dwellings
to supply the new comers to that place
as says the White River Journal, and
it might have truthfully added that
Kent wants a newspaper just about as
bad as it wants more dwellings. Kent
is a thriving little suburb and should
have an up-tO-date weekly paper, but
it is compelled to put up with a make
shift 1t is wonder that the Kentites
stand it.

Already many theories have been ad-
vanced to make moral towns, but here
is a suggestion from the Port Angeles
Tribune that is a rather unique one,
and yet there is method in its mad
ness: 1T seems that the best way to
have a good moral town is to have
rival sets of good gamblers, one of
which owns the mayor, while the 9TH
er owns none"

Not a Single One.

The Argus of Mount Vernon asks the
city council How many prosecutions
have there been on the anti-expectora-
tion ordinance?" Not many, it is sur
missed, because if the police of that
city take no more note of it than do
the police of this city, if the sidewalk
does not get out of the way the police
men will expectorate all over it.

County Seat Fight.

Speaking about the coming sena-
torial campaign it is currently report
ed that George u. Piper will be pre-
pared to spend at least 100000 in or
der to control the next legislative dele
cation from King county. In other
words, King county is to be the battle
ground of the various senatorial as
pirants in the coming fall campaign.
The factional fight among the Repub-
licans two years ago when Frink and
Humes fought for the King county en-
dOrsement for governor will pale into
insignificance in comparison to the
fight that promises to come to head
in the primary election and the Repub-
lican convention next fall This is
very evident from the fact that in
every legislative district in King coun-
ty there are all the way from ten to
fifty aspirants for the respective legis-
lative nominations. In each legisla-
tive district in the city there are no
less than from ten to twenty candi-
dates for the state senate, and pretty
nearly as many for each of the NOM
nations for the lower house This is
another trick of the Pipers and at the
proper time they will come forward
with their successful candidate and
make an effort to buy his nomination
clean and clear and with the amount
of money that they will control in
some instances they will come pretty
nearly accomplishing their purpose.
Charles B. Hopkins, who for many
years has been manager of the Sunset
Telephone Company, has been sworn
in as United States marshal and is
now filling that position. Politically
speaking the Hopkins family has been
rather fortunate in getting big govern
ment jobs, although Charley Hopkins
has declared from time to time that
he wanted nothing in the way of an
Office, but was just playing with poll
tics for the fun of it and because he

getting single vote from King county
Harold Preston may be the anti
railroad candidate for the United
States Senate, but on general prin-
ciples Mr. Preston has never shown
any very decided opposition to rail-
roads and yet he has assumed such a
role at the instigation of Governor
Mcbride, who is trying to build up a
political machine in the state and see-
ing an opportunity to do so to some
extent at least by opposing the rail-
road companies, he is using it as a
hobby. Excuse me from support
ing Governor Mcbride in his fu-
ture political aspirations in this state, y
said a well known Republican poll
tician one day this week, "for if he
should ever get control of the ma
chine of the state of Washington he
would be the most tyrannical boss that
has ever controlled the affairs of the
Republican party not only in this state
but any state west of the Mississippi
river. 1t is evident from the way
the governor has already begun to
manipulate things that he will make
bad actor at the head of the Repub-
lican party in the state of Washington,
and for that reason |, for one, am go
ing to nail him to the cross when l
get an opportunity and l am not alone
in this, for numbers of Republican
politicians have spoken to me in a
similar strain as to the governor and
have no hesitancy in saying that
the fight is on. It took violent meth
DDS to overthrow the Hunt regime and
as result the state was in the hands
of the Demo-POp party for four years,
and rather than see it go into similar
hands again prefer to see the party
get in bad repute again. The Repub-
licans of this state want no more
bosses like Leigh Hunt, and if Nc
Bride is permitted to get control of
the machine he will be even worse
than was Hunt in his palmiest days
Another police war has broken out
in Seattle against colOred folk. One
man was arrested and fined for swear
ing at his wife; thirty other colored
persons were arrested because a
drunken white hobo got struck by
somebody, even he could not say by
whom; another colored man was ar
rested for looking at a burly brute in
blue as he passed by.
