INVENT A POUCH
FOR DISTRIBUTING
STAGE-ROUTE MAIL

SANTA ROSA, Dec. 23.-Post-
master George B. Baer Of
CloVerdale, in the northern por-
ton of this county, has invent
ed small canvas pouch for use
in the distribution of mails
along stage routes emanating
from his Office, which has prov
ed eminently satisfactory The
Postal Department has taken
hold of the matter and intends
using them on the stage routes
all over the country, and Baer
is to receive a royalty on all
that are manufactured by the
Government. The device is sim
plea pouch on the order of the
large mail sacks, with two sets
of fastenings. The mail of each
person along the line is placed
in a separate sack, bearing the
name, and thus the stage driver
is relieved of the necessity OF
sorting the mail as he goes
along. The sacks are hung on
a hook placed for that purpose
and returned TO the PJstOllice
daily. Frequently parties send
for stamps and money orders in
these sacks placing their money
and their application in the sack
which is then securely locked.

POLITICAL POT=PIE

Governor Mcbride may have strengthened his po-
litcal fences to some extent in appointing Sheriff
Mills as one of the members of the board OF audit and
CONTROL but he did not do himself any great good by
appointing Charley Reed superintendent of the reform
school Charley Reed is without any political follow
ing in either King any other county of this state
and he is likewise man of ability to do anything
except act as a clerk in some business mans Office
His record as chief of police of Seattle is very
commendabe one, and it is very doubtful if there is
a single man in either Seattle or King county that will
help the governor out one way the other because he
has appointed Reed to the position that he is now fill
ing while the other hand he has made bitter poit
ica enemies all the state by removing Supern-
tendent Westendorf from the place he has admir-
only The governor is noted for opening his
mouth without putting his foot in it, and in this in
stance he has excelled all former efforts.
The Pie-maker learns from the Walla Walla Union
that the opposition to the Ankeny machine led by
Governor Miles c. Moore, has already begun fight
to a finish on the reelection of Mayor Hunt
may be able to run the political gauntlet, but when he
does he will remember that he had fight on his hands
The Pie-naker heard that from many during
recent visit there and from the editorial columns of
more recent date the rumors have been than
verified. The opposition to Mayor Hunt claims that
though he Hunt was elected on a reform ticket and
for the avowed purpose of closing up the resorts yet
The Seattle Republican., 1903-06-19

The story to the effect that Ankeny and
Piper have patched up their differences and
that Ankeny had invited Piper to visit him in
Walla Walla where they could agree upon
slate for the next state convention and for
suitable candidate as the next United States
senator from this state reminds the Pie-maker
that if it be possible for politician, like the
proverbial cat to have nine lives then one OF
that class of politicians is George Piper, whose
portrait accompanies this screed. George Pi-
per has been veritable political nightmare in
this country for the past decade or more and re-
petedy has he been politically killed, but just
as repeatedly has he been politically revived
and placed at the helm of affairs. If the man
does not eventually come to the front as the
greatest political leader in the country it will
not be for lack OF persistency, as well as in
genuity, which things go long ways in MAX
ing successful politicians. Piper in 1892 fought
Governor McGraw as long as he dared to and
live in King county His fight forced him to
sell out his paper the Press-T Times and leave
the state. He returned in 1897 manager of
the Post-Intelligencer, with which for four
years he made Rome howl The paper was
finally sold from under him and he again left
the state for a brief period While manager of
the P-I. he made an effort to elect Levi An
keny United States senator, but failed. Mr..
Ankeny continued to trust his political judg
every paper in the country against him he
made last grand stand in 1893, and only lost
the county by five votes, and had his plans

Matters politically, quiet in Clarke coun-
ty on the surface at least, spoke Judge
A. L. Miller of that county while in the
city the fore part of the week The only matter
causing any ripple of excitement is the appointment
of postmaster The railroad interests supported by
both of the United States urging the ap
poinnent of Mr. c. c. Shaw and the anti-railroad ee-
ment backed by Congressman Cushman for Mr..
Daniel Crowley. The present incumbent's time
pired some time ago but the appointment of a

bit from the fact that he elected than he
Immediately telegraphed the president to make

Clarke county has tried several times to break into
the convention and carry off something but
since the time of State Treasurer A. A. Lindsley she
has knocked in vain. Some years ago it had candi
date for the United States senate in the person of
]. d. GeOghegan, but he defeated through local
factiOna fight. Some opposed to Geoghegan brought
out State Senator A. F. Shaw who had no chance
for an election, but he did accomplish Geoghegan's
defeat. Both good men, however, and

his administration Then again the opposition says
that Mayor Hunt is being pushed by the machine for
reelection for no other reason than for the machine
to groom him invncble candidate for the Repub-
lican eubernatoral nomination next year. On the
other hand Mayor Hunts friends say the city
never so prosperous under his administrations that
he has made an ideal mayor and, finally that the
mayor has gubenatoria aspirations and would not
accept it if unanimously rendered him by the state
convention unless it was the wish of his closest po-
litical friends.

that Ankeny believed Stevenson better manipulation
than Piper and therefore unceremOniously supplan-
ed him. If Piper is correct in his version it strikes
the Pie-maker that he Piper, cannot remain with An
keny single minute for the latter is for the reelection
OF Foster and Seattle never had worse enemy than
is Foster What can come from the Ankeny-Piper
fx-up is political puzzle but the Pe-maker is OF the
opinion that no good will come out of it for
Seattle. For Senator Ankeny to support Seattle
man for United States senator he necessarily would
have to break away from the men who elected him
and this it is not believed he will do.

1t is claimed that George L. Piper and Senator Levi
Ankeny have buried the hatchet and will again do poll

worked he and his henchmen would have bold
y stolen enough votes to win the day on the
convention floor, but the move preciptated
a row which would have finally resulted in
riot had he not receded His political power
was finally broken in the county and Ankeny
not being desirous of remaining tied up to
dead one, dropped him. Last year, to the sur
prise OF all George Piper bobbed up as candi-
date for state senator in the thirty fourth
senatorial district and while the other
fellows were telling what an easy mark
he would be in the primaries he cap
tured the delegation and was nominated
without opposition. Nomination is not always
election, and Piper is now aware of that fact,
for Governor McGraw, whom Piper had re-
peatedly vi1i6ed declared he would not be
elected and he made good his assertion Since

be broken When he was defeated last year
at the polls it was said that he was dead for all
time to come but now it transpires that Sena-
tor Ankeny is willing to pick him up again
and use him as leverage to split the next
legislative delegation from this county in the
interest, no doubts, of Foster, the Tacoma can
didate, who has done nothing since he has been
in the senate but fight Seattle The above is
brief career OF George L. Piper in King coun-

better his condition he must, in the Ev-

out his destiny for himself. ~

The church has no helping hand to

way Of inspiration and instruction. 1t
should not, as church, participate in

It Is Controlled by Less Than 100
Men, Says Representative

new 1ork BUN special 6erv1oe.
Washington, Jan. 25.-'I am in favor OF
stringent trust legislation,' said Repre-
sentative Brownlow Of Tennessee, but ]
do not believe the prospects are any too
bright for securing it. The people Of the
country do not appreciate how few per-
sons control the chief food products. Less
than ten men control the bread supply
Of the country, about the same number
monopolze the meat products, and ten
more control the coal situation. Thus 1t
will be seen less than thirty men control
meat, bread. and the coal used to cook the
meals of the people Of the country.
1T is rather startling to think that lit
tie more than a quarter Of a hundred
men control the food supply Of about 80,
100000 people. This is tremendous
power to be lodged in the hands Of few
persons, and there should be some legis-
lation which will shear them Of their
power. IF they should take the notion to
do so. the twenty men controlling the
meat and bread product could increase
their prices arbitrarily and squeeze the
people. They are being squeezed pretty
hard now on the price Of COAL" j..
