THE EVIL AND ITS CURE.

One particularly interesting and vital
point is driven home by Lincoln Steffens
in his article on Illinois politics in the
August McClure's; and that is that the
great problem Of the republic is to secure
government by the people. 1t is not a
question of this or that party, or this or
that politician, but simply one of self
government, OF the supremacy OF public
opinion.
Mr.. Steffens tells the stony Of the eight
years. political war in Illinois, by which
the republican party of that state has
been brought to represent the people.
1t offers an Illuminating study of politics
and government which can be read with
profit by every American citizen. 1t is
a hopeful, as well as an analytical dis
cussion OF conditions, for it not only ex-
poses the evils of republican government
but shows by illustration how they may
be reached.
There is abundant food for thought for
the "good citizen" Oh these powerful
pages.

The new tariff sheet affecting ship
meats from the west coast to Mississippi
valley territory is out affective July 10,
and while it does not grant the western
manufacturers the concessions hey most
wanted, it helps some and is an entering
wedge which they hope to pound in far
Their with each renewed effort. One OF
the changes that will make a consider
able difference in the shingle business is
the new minimum weight. The former
minimum was thirty thousand pounds
in cars thirty.eix or less feet in length.
The new rule is that in these cars. when
loaded to capacity, the lumbermen may
take the alter native of actual weight
with a minimum of twenty thousand
pounds. The order giving spruce and
hemlock the FIR rate is included in the
new tariff sheet, but was effective earlier
in the month. Manufacturers are hope.
full that they will get some further con-
cessions before long, even though they
do not get the full reduction to forty
cents on fir lumber to Missouri river
points. Mississippi Valley Lumberman.

Geo. F. Cotterili OF Seattle, is so diff
cult to please in the selection CT politi-
cal party that he has about decided to
form one himself. Having tried the re-
publican, prohibition, populist and dem.

that they, and the many millions Of vot-

that it is up to him to set them right.

The Oregonian innocently asks: "Why
don't the republicans in the State Of
Washington pull down Mead, misnamed
for Governor and put up man whom
they can elect?" If our learned contem.
porary would look up the actions OF the
convention that nominated Mr.. Mead it
would discover that 1.-THE republicans in
the state of Washington" had very little
TO do with the naming Of Mr.. Mead. He
was placed on the ticket by the gang Of
lobbyists who controlled that convention
and who are still in control Of the repub-
iican party Of this state to the extent
that Mead will not be pulled down.
Give us hard one.

WHY HAZARDOUS?

G. G. Dixon in the Post, relates the
betrayal OF the republican party Of this
state by its leaders, and its capture by
the railroad lobby that named the state
ticket, from the view point OF an indie.
pendent republican.
His indictment Of the republican ma
chine is true to life, and his advice to re.
publicans, to register and vote the friends
of the lobby down at the primaries is
good, albeit triffie late for the the state
ticket, but, Mr.. Dixon betrays his unac.
Quaintance with the history of the state
Of Washington when he says:
s'To deliver the state government over
to the hands of the democrats involves
such tremendous hazard that it is
scarcely to be thought of and can only
be considered as last resort"
What authority is there for consider.
ing a democratic administration hazzai d.
GUS to the state? Washington has had
but one democratic governor, and his adj
ministration was SO eminently satlsfac
tory that he was re.elected, while the
state gave 1900 majority for the iepub-
lican national ticket.
1t is settled fact that the state will be
administered during the next four years
by either the republican or democratic
party, and that those who wish to have
n voice in deciding between the two must
needs vote with one or the other. There
are no national issues involved in the
state election, Indeed, the only real
issue be.ole the people is that Of decid-
ing whether the grand state of Washing.
ton will be governed by the popular will
or by the political railroads. That is all
there is to it.
Those lobbyists now in control of the
republican machine know that hard
words break no bones, and have no re-
gard whatever ior public opinion. The
only rebuke they are susceptible of is
defeat, and republicans like Mr.. Dixon,
who recognize the capture OF their party
by those political pirates, have double
interest in administering that rebuke,
the redemption Of their party, as we'll as
the welfare OF the state.

TO CITY COUNCIL
Secretary Wigglesworth Says
Board Cannot Buy Anti
Toxin
NOT ALLOWED ENOUGH MONEY

Since the report that an effort would
be made TO form trust Of anti-toxin
manufacturers gained circulation. the
departments of health throughout the
country are up in arms and intend TO
fight any increase in the price Of the
serum.
The local Board of Health uses on
an average of about two hundred bot
ties OF anti-toxin a year. The price
demanded by the manufacturers is
$3.50 a bottle. though the cost of max
ing it is about one-ninth of the selling
price.
According TO statistics. with its use
the fatality of diphtheria has been
reduced from seventeen in each one
hundred TO less than seven. The local
board must exercise judgment in us
ing the serum as with the appropria-
tiion allowed by City Council It can
only purchase about two hundred bot
ties year. Very often physicians in
ject from six TO seven thousand units
of anti-toxin into children attacked
with diphtheria. before the disease will
respond to the treatment.
If the price OF the remedy is in
creased, Secretary Wigglesworth says
when he makes a purchase Of the
serum again he will send the bills tc

RUNAWAY BOY SHOWS
EFFECTS OF CRUELTY
Found on Philadelphia Pike
Near Carcroit in a Pitiful
Condition

Almost frozen and in a pitiful condi-
tion, a 13-year-old boy who gives his
name as Charles Agk'w Pocock, was
found on the Philadelphia. turnpike
near Carcroft on Saturday night last
by William $ Whiteford. a resident
of that place. He took the boy 10 his
home and everything possible was
done for the lad.
When found by Mr.. Whiteford the
boy was wearing a pair of gum boots,
the soles of which had long since been
cut through. His feet were badly
bruised and bleeding and needed i'm
mediate attention. Fearing that he
would not be allowed TO stay through
the night the poor youngster offered
his benefactor twenty-five cents, his
whole wealth, for permission to sleep
on the floor. His body was covered
with bruises. showing that he had been
Icrully, treated by someone. He was
allowed to remain at the home Of the
Whitefords until yesterday when Agent
Frank Stout of the Society for the Pre-
lvention of Cruelty to Children was
notified of the case.
To Mr.. Stout the boy said his mother
was dead and that he left home the
day following Christmas. He said his
father, Francis 4. POcock, had remar-
ried and his step-mother treated him
unkindly. When asked where his
home was the boy gave different ad-
dresses. He first said his home was
at Rutledge, Pa, and later said his
parents lived at No. SO East Baltimore
avenue, Lansdowne. Pa.
Mr. Stout has written to both places
and expects an answer tomorrow. In
the meantime the lad win be held at
