THE SOLDIERS FUND.
Mr.. Neadman's Letter Of Inquiry Meets With
aRssdy Reply.


Ready Reply.
ED. WASHINGTON STANDARD:
In commenting in your issue OF last
week upon an inquiry from Mr.. G. A.
Stedman relative 10 the fund raised by
school children in 1899 for q monu.
ment to our Philippine soldiers you
ask: Will not the individual into
whose hands the fund was paid inform
us how much money he has that was
donated for that object and where it is
deposited!"
As you probably remember, there
was State committee composed OF .
dozen or more prominent women and
men OF Olympia and other cities OF the
State for the purpose of raising such q
fund. Hon. G. ]. Lord was Treasurer
and Adjutant General Fox Secretary
of the committee. do not remember
the names of other officers or members
OF the committee.
/ was requested by the committee to
SHko CuHrSo Vi tuo m6tteE IOt tnem
in this county, and l did 90.
The funds raised by the children of
this county, little over $500. as l
remember twas turned over to me
by the various solicitors, and after
paying for printing. postage, station
cry and prizes (including two gold
medsls) there was balance Of $255.52
which is now on deposit in she Capt.
tai National Bank to the credit Of the
Treasurer of the State committee.
For some reason or other the com.
mittee was unable to interest other
counties in the proposition, go the bal.
ance a. it now stands is the donation
of Thurston county children.
While / was not q member OF the
committee. and hence had no further
responsibility after turning over the
funds to the committee. yet since I
acted as the committees agent and
received the money, feel that in JUS
tice to myself should answer your
inquiry. Very respectfully.

1T seems that cloudbursts are be-
coming a common phenomenon OF
Nature. The one at Heppner was fol-
lowed by another on the other side Of
the continent, selecting a no less not.
ed community than the people Of New
York city for its victims. Whether
because the buildings we're hood-proof,
or the visitation was not so extensive,
there were no lives lost although the
water stood for few moments several
feet deep on some of the streets. And
Sunday night, over 1000 feet OF rail-
road track was carried 500 feet by a
down-pour at Myers, Montana, 70
miles east OF Billings. The only dam L.
age done, however, was by delay Of
trains for about twelve hours.

TINE was, when if long series Of
frauds were perpetrated in the public
service the administration was held
responsible for it, but it now seems
that the carnival of corruption proven
to have existed for many years in the
postal service impels Republican lead
ers and newspapers to sing peans of
praise to Roosevelt because he appoves
investigation after the thieves are
caught. What else could he do? And
why should he have been so blind as
not to have instigated investigation
before the cormorants had chance to
fatten off the public pickings? If he
is so much OF an enthusiast for reform,
why does he not probe some other of
the departments which seem ready for
the lancet?

THE independent manufacturers of

the trusts in great shape. They pay
tribute TO the steel trust, Standard Oil

lead trust, bolt combination, betting
and leather combination, lumber COM

nation, steel spring combination, wire

steel saw combination, sandpaper com.
bination, solder combination, steel
wheel combination, coal combine and
railway combine. The independent
manufacturers are in pretty nearly as
bad fix as the general public.

AND now it is the Agricultural De-
partment that is showing evidence Of
fraud. While comparatively young in
years the evidence shows that it is old
in crime. Papers have been filed
charging that the government through
neglect or connivance, has been swim.
swindled out of many thousands of
dollars by one Nellis, manager of the
New York Gardeners Association, on
contract for seeds involving over $780,.
600. 1t is alleged that the seeds were
OF inferior quality, in many instances
worthless or untrue to name. It is
also charged that the seeds were passed
through gross favoritism.

AND STILL THE LIST OF FRAUDS
LENGTHENs.-It seems that some of
the pampered manufactures have not
waited for acquisitions in palming off
their wares upon the government.
Among these assets of the administra-
ton that are stored for want of any
earthly use they can be put to, are two
and half tons OF fasteners for mail
boxes, in the basement of the Federal
building in Milwaukee, Wis. They
represent several thousand dollars in
cost, and will probably never be used.
A lot OF obsolete galvanized iron mail
boxes were likewise found, which were
received two years ago without requi.
sition.

THE most sensible suggestion yet
made, We think, regarding the negro
question is, that they be colonized in
the Philippines, with Booker T. Wash.
ington as Governor. They would
doubtless coon assimilste the Filipiuos,
as there is not the marked distinction
between them ss there is with the
negro and white race. The negro
would have some sort OF . future be.
fore him, while here the antagonism

strives the greater are the obstacles in

1T is said that those Chicago women
who proposed to publish a paper to be
printed and edited entirely by mem.
bers of their own sex, failed in getting
out the first number. The dear crea-
lures found that they could no more
do without men than the men could
get along without women, and had the
candor and honesty to admit the fact.
Men would have gone along in their
laundering way and failed in the end,
without acknowledgment OF error or
miscalculation OF any kind as q pc ssi.

THERE is something wrong about
the American Shipbuilding company
when it goes " flewey," with Chas. M.
Schwab, President OF the U. s. Steel
Co. as one OF its largest bondholders.
The fault is attributed to disagreement
with those interested in its manage
ment. The economics so palpably
evident as result OF combination and
consolidation are here conspicuous for
their invisibility, and the observer is
forced 10 the belief that he here has
an insight to Morgan's meaning when
he talked OF /" undigested securities"

In Indiana, Illinois and New York
it has been shown that the fiendish
hatred" of the black man exists, when
he breaks the infexible rule set up
against him for certain offenses. Rope
and fire are as certain instruments for
expressing that hatred in the North
- in the South, which shows that the
white race is controlled BY the same
race prejudice everywhere, and it com
pletely eliminates the effect of the
effort made to force it into the plane
Of a partisan issue.

place, Saturday night from wreck of
the Balbao train. It fell from bridge

persons were killed and 60 seriously

Let Reason Prevail.

1t may not be at once conceded but
We believe that Reason will support
the idea that the laborer will more
surely win in the present struggle, hy
breaking down the barriers he has
been largely instrumental in rearing
between himself and capital. Fair
honest, conscientious work, will, in
time, compel fair, honest, conscien.
tious pay, and when this feeling of
amity has been established, neither
party Will want to return to the pres.
sent contentious strife. Both will
recognize the fact that it will not be
to the interest OF either TO do so, and
community, Of interest will be es-
tablished. 1t may compel walking
delegates to assume some more honor
able calling than of string up rancor.
and it may conflict with the ambition
OF an occasional curbstone Estates.

cessation of strife, a saving OF time
and money, happy dreams at night
and lighter work by day, and more to
eat, drink and wear for self and de-
pendents. 1t will dry the tears OF the
anxious mother, fill the school houses
with ambitious childhood, install
happy groups at the fireside and pro.
mote in its widest sense thrift and
prosperity. Then the claim of con-
tentmept will not all be on the side of
wealth with Labor sitting in the cor

impulses OF humanity be aroused, and
rancor, distrust and selfishness over.
come by the kindlier throbs of hearts
attuned to mutual dependence and
harmony of purpose.
In placing true estimate on results
so far, has not the contest demons
trated the necessity of a radical change
of policy7 In all candor can it be at.
firmed that both interests have not
been damaged by the conflict? Can .
stronger incentive to restoration of
harmony be urged than the selfish sug-
gestion OF a betterment of conditions?
Can more powerful, more uncompro.

AS long as mankind is constituted

Rivalry, jealousy, and envy, inspire
