Upon the subject of the admission of
new states the Tacoma Ledger argues
that zone reason the territories now
seeking admission ought to be allowed
to come in is that the promise was
made them. Both parties SAID in their
platforms that the territories were
worthy the distinction sought. Condi-
tons have not so changed as to make
the breaking of the pledge justifiable
as matter of public policy" This is
precisely the argument that is being
used to "whip into line" legislators
who have evinced a dissemination to
vote for railroad commission bill in &C.
cordance with the pledge made in both
the Republican and Democratic plat
forms. The defeat OF the measure, now
conceded, will naturally be regarded as
additional evidence that party plat
forms are too often made to "get i'm on"
rather than to stand on. So far as this
county is concerned, however, there is
little, if any, sentiment in favor of the
proposition. If our repre-
votes for it he has the state
platform to support him; if he votes
against it he can truly say that he did
so in compliance with the wishes of
many of his constituents, as expressed
by petition.

The newspaper is not a clerk and

Have Convictions and Stick to Them

Men who do things, who achieve re-
suits, have strong convictions; they be-
lieve something in particular, and be-
lieve it without reservation. A man
who is willing to fight for an idea, to
sacrifice everything in order to develop
it, has something definite in his life, a
specific certainty that will bring him
out somewhere in the neighborhood OF
success.
A man without policy, without a
definite purpose, without strong con-
viction OF any kind, who believes lit
tie of everything and not much of any
thing, who is willing upon pressure to
relinqulsh his opinion upon any sub
ject, to abandon any idea he has con-
ceived, whether it be feasible or not,
who does not hold on to any one thing
tenaciously, will never accomplish
much in this world.-Success.

RESERVATION MEMORIAL

Representative Thacker acted very
promptly upon the suggestion that he
endeavor to secure the passage by the
legislature of memorial to congress
asking for the restoration to the public
domain of the military reservations in
this county. The full text of the mem
orial which he introduced last week
has not been published, but inasinuch
as reference is made to 1900 acres" it
is presumed to include all the military
reserves in the county. OF course it is
possible that the memorial may get no
farther than the committee to which it
was referred but it would seem that it
ought to be favorably reported and
passed without objection, in which case
the hope may be reasonably enter
tanned that the war department may
soon be called upon to investigate the
matter When these lands were re-
served by the government soon after
the settlement of the San Juan boun-
dairy controversy, the policy Of the war
department with respect to Puget
Sound defenses had not been deter
mined and the probability is that San
Juan channel and Cattle point were
looked upon as possessing far more
strategic importance than any board of
army officers would now be likely to
regard them. 1t il possible that the
time may come when it may be deemed
advisable to utilize the Cattle point re-
serve for Qualifications similar to those
AT Point Wilson and Admiralty head,
and Point Caution mi ght also be made
to form a link in a great chain of de-
lenses along the BORDER" but it is not
in the least likely that any portion of
the other reservations will ever be re-
quired for military proposes. 1t would
be interesting anyway to see to what
extent the views of the war depart
ment as to the necessity or importance
of these reserves have undergone a
change in thirty years.
