That Monument Of Follv."

The Recorder unwittingly reiterates
the idea expressed, if not the exact
words, OF the Tacoma papers, when an
attempt was made few years ago to
put the State capitol on wheels, and
move it to Tacoma, when it SAYS that
the splendid foundation for an ade.
quate State building on Capitol Hill,
Is " monument to somebody's folly"
In the same article it declares that the
apology for State building, in the
shape OF an annex to the old court
house, is not more than adequate to
present needs, and that ait will be a
matter of only few years until the
State will be again up against the cap.
itol proposition"
Take the two sentences in connec.
ton and what do they mean but re.
affirmance of all that was claimed in
the memorable contest when the Ia.
coma delegation manifested so plainly
the selfishness and greed of the specu.
lators at Commencement Bay who
stole the terminus from Olympia forty
years ago, a wrong which the railroad
company is attempting to remedy by a
relocation of route which will practi-
cally make this city the main depot
for heavy transcontinental freight.
The foundation OF the capitol has in
no wise: deteriorated by loss OF time;
in fact it will be the firmer, and better
in many respects, from the delay in
building, and if the Recorders asser.
ton be true that the make-shift capt.
toll will soon be inadequate, we fail to
see by what process of reasoning the
beginning already made on Q proper
and ample State capitol is "a monu-
ment to somebody's folly" Indeed it
would appear that its projectors really
"builded wiser than they knew"
when the magnificent basement of the
original capitol was reared on the best
site in the State of Washington for
such q structure. It was the Puyal-
lup-Tacoma feeling that switched off
the car of Progress that had been set
in motion by Gov. McGraw, q true
representative of the leading commun.
ity in enterprise.
It really seems that Tacoma con.
tinues to be our evil spirit in many
ways. It is Tacoma man who has
delayed construction of the temporary
capitol At great inconvenience and cost
to the State, taking three years to do
. work that could be accomplished in
a few months by any city contractor.
1t is q Tacoma man who attempted to
mako substitutions that would have
greatly lessened the stability Of the
structure and who succeeded in q
substitution of some material which
makes the building "freak" in ap-
pearance. It is . Tacoma paper,

admitting the growing necessity of

to say that they would not now be

DOVES PSYCHIC PowER.-The mar
row dividing line between reason and
madness is illustrated by the host that
a man like Dowie can influence to
perform the most absurd acts OF fanat.
ical foolishness. That he is of a selfish
disposition and sordid nature is shown
by his devices for accumulation of
wealth and his announcement of in
tent to build a palace of unparalleled
magniticence for himself. His crusade
on the wickedness of New York is
watched with much interest, and re-
suit waited with considerable appre-
tension. Whether the protested Elijah
will be able to hold under his spell
the larger audiences which his unique
methods attract, or that they will
break loose from restraint and cause
trouble, as is the natural trend of large
bodies of people under excitable con.
ditlons, remains to be seen. Fortu-
nately the demonstrations are held in
a city of ample resources to hold in
restraint any tendency to lawless acts.
The stimulus for Dowies exertions
seem to te dividend he exacts of ten
per cent. upon the incomes of his fol-
lowers.
