SURPRISES OF THE ELECTION.

There are notable features in the off.
cial vote for president, from which many
conclusions will be drawn.
Although there has been a large in.
crease in population in the last eight
years, the presidential vote this year was
Ago, os9 less than in 1890, and 4l6 ST. less
than in 1896.
President Roosevelt received major
ity over all Of more than 100 900, and
his plurality over Parker was mere than
2 500 900, or more than three times the
majority OF Mckinley over Bryan in 1900.
The republicans lost votes in several
states. but gained votes in Others, SO
that the total net republican gain in four
years vas 1922 The democrats made
gains in several states, but lost on others,
their net lost icing 1850 500. The net
loss OF the democrats was. therefore.
more than 500, 900 greater than the re-
publican net gain. Indicating presumably,
that more than 500 900 people who voted
for Bryan in 1900 did not vote at all this
year or supported one OF the minor can
didates..
Watson received less than $4,000
votes showing that straightout populism
was an insignificant factor. This is made
all the more evident by the fact that
nearly one third OF bis aggregate vote
was cast in two states-Georgia, his
home, and Nebraska.
The Debs vote incleaAed more than
100000 in four years, but it is consider.
ably below what was expected by the
socialists, who predicted on election day
that it would go over half million. The
candidates OF the socialist and labor par.
ties together received 425 ,04O votes. The
prohibitionists increased their vote, but
not to notable degree, when judged by
the total vote cast for all candidates.

GEORGE n. EMERSON
Will Deliver Address at American Forestry Con.
srsss in Washington.

1t is a matter OF considerable interest
to the lumber and timber interests of
this coast that Col. Geo. II. Emerson, OF
Hoquiam, will attend the American For
estry Congress in Washington, D. c.,
next month and deliver an address. 1t
is q sacrifice Of time and money which
he makes for the good of the order.
Nothing but sense of duty secured his
attendance and assistance at this meet.
ing. No more fitting or able representa-
tive of the coast could be selected. As a
speaker he is entertaining, eloquent and
instructive. His subject, "Our Pacific
Coast Forests and Logging as Differing
from Otner Forests" is one that will en-.
able him to present the novel features Of
this coast, and inject into the literature
of forestry practical facts and lines of
thought which will give the men, who
are working along somewhat theoretical
lines, the opportunity to emb body in their
work the ideas of a practical man. 1t is
not amiss in this connection to say that
the coast has but few men who are will.
ing to sacrifice their time, energy and
money for the general good OF the lum.
Der industry. The work done by asso-
Citations is done by comparatively few;
the expense OF maintaining work that
inures to the benefit OF all is saddled
upon comparatively limited NUN Der.
For these reasons such work as Col.
Emerson will do stands out in strong re.
lief to the inactivity and inattention OF
the thousands who should be active par.
ticipsnts in lines that tend to advance
the interests Of this coast.

BUTT"

The conjunction "but" is called by
some grammarians "a distinctive con.
junction" What q contradiction OF
terms. Think Of a joining word that dis.
joins.
This word, small a. 1t is, acts - .
two. edged sword to sever the thread Of
worthy ambition.
Many q man has "butted" himself of
the track that led to success into the
brambles of failure that always grow on
either side Of the success highway.
The man who thinks in "buts" 70.
serves action for the future. He permits
the present, a golden thread, to slip
through his fingers unimproved.
Cut the word "but" from your vocabu-
larry, unless you spell it with two t's and
use it as a ba,tering ram to open your
path to progress.

SPEAKING OF ARBITRATION.

The length II when partisan organs
will go in their adustions OF party lead
ers is well shown by The New York Tri.
bun,'s recent reference to President
Roosevelt'e arbitration record. The Tri-
bune is a thick.andthin republican
organ that seems actually to sieve that
the seasons, the crops, the weather. and
other like things in nature, are due
wholly and soley to republican admins
tration.
Recently Lord Lansdowne OF England
incidentally remarked that arbitration
has become the fashion," and the Tri-
bune, overlooking no opportunities to
f,tter the president. added with . par
t'san smirk that Lord Lansdowne's re-
mark "might have been truthiully
supplemented by adding q fashion set
by President Roosevelt.
Students of our republics history will
be surprised to learn that President
Roosevelt has been al administering the
sffairs OF the government for 121 years,
vet ii the New York Tribune is correct
in saving he set the fashion OF arbitra-
ton. he must have been president in
l.S3 for in that year treaty WAS con-,
cluded with England and it contained
an arbitration clause. According to the
New York Tribune. Theodore Roosevelt
was PRECEDENT in lSl4, else how comes it
that an arbitration clause was included
in the treaty of Client. Ii Theodore
Roosevelt set the "iashion OF arbitra-
ton" he must have been president in
1871. for in that year the Alabama
claims were submitted to arbitration,
notwithstanding the fact that every
school history informs us that some.
what famous soldier named Grant was
PRECEDENT at that time. And according
to the same New York authority Theo-
dore Roosevelt was president in 1872,
else how comes it that he San Juan
bonndarr dispute was submitted to ar.
bitration.
There may be some excuse for the
Tribune's error in regard to the date last
mentione |, for il we remember arish.
the name OF San Juan has Gu. quite
figure in the fortunes of Theodore Rose.
welt. B II 1t is doubtful ii the people OF
the country VII submit to having the
sch Dol his. )-ies chan ,ei to make them
agree with the New York rribune's idea
OF Am arican arbitr alton history.

IS 1T TRUE?

Nearly a month has elapsed since
Thomas W. Lawson publicly made
specific accusation against John A. Me-
Call with reference to the, management
OF the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, and Henry NJ. Whitney with re-
ference to a case OF wholesale bribery OF
the Mass achusetts Legislature. These
accusations are SO serious as TO demand
a response from the persons accused, and
so circumstantial as TO admit of easy
refutation il they are false. But there is
no attempt OF reintation. Should this
silence continue, Lawson's revelations
must he taken as true.
1t Is not enough to pass the word
along that Lawson is notorious liar.
That is aside from the question until his
word has been balanced off by some one
else's. The question is not whether he
is;a notorious liar, but whether these ac-
cusations are admitted by Mccall and
Whitney. Neither is it enough to say
that Lawson was conspirator with
Whitney. If such crimes as Whitney is
charged with are to come 10 light at all.
they must come to light through the
revelations of co-conspirators. Again. it
is not enough to call Lawson a"sQuealer."
Though criminals may detest the pal"
who "squeals,' their victims are not al.
ways so regardful Of the ethics of crime.
Lawson may be "squealer," "liar,"
and all the rest; but what OF it? What
the public want to know from Mccall
and Mr.. Whitney direct, is whether they
admit or deny. II they deny, the CUES.
ton Of veracious reputation will become
OF more or less importance II they do not
deny, then the accusations must be
taken as true by confession.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

Simplicity is state OF mind. It dwells
in the main intention OF our lives. A
man is simple when his chief care i: the
wish to be what he ought to be that is,
honest and naturally human. And this
is neither so easy nor impossible az one
might think. At bottom it consists in
putting our acts and inspirations in &C.
cordance with the law Of our being, and,
consequently with the Eternal Intention
which willeth that We should be at all.

A RINGING UTTERANCE.

Judge Steele OF the Colorado supreme
bench is we'll remem bered because Of his
decision in the now celebrated Meyer
case. 1t was to be expected that judge
Steele would have no part in the effort to
seat Pea body by extrajudiclal functions
on the part of the Colorado supreme
court, and the judge has met expecta.
tons. He does not nince his words,
either, in declaring his opposition TO the
work nov being done in Colorado in the
effort to thwart the will of the people
and retain Peabody in Office. The court,
without even opening the ballot box or
having any knowledge whatever OF it's
contents, forbid the Denver elections
commission from opening and counting
the returns from precint s Of the Seventh
ward. The precinct itself is not au i'm.
portant one, but the decision in this par.
ticular case lie u precedent for futu
ton that will disfranchise thousands
OF honest voters and enable the corpora.
tons to retain Peabody in the executive
chair. Judge Steele dissents IN vigorous
language from the decision OF the major.
ity OF tine court. When Judge Gabbert
finished reading the opinion Judge Steele
exclaimed: THE conclusion OF the court
was handed to me only last night at s
o'clock. have, therefore, had no time
to prepare dissenting opinion, but l
descent from the Judgment OF the court
because it is unwarranted, is without
precedent and is directly contrary to the
law There is no difficulty in under.
standing the phraseology OF that brief
opinion.

He has whipped them.

A San Francisco employers paper,
bitterly hostile to labor unions, carries
this motto at its head: 1.-The right OF
man to live, the right Of man to work."
That is An excellent motto. Let it's prin-
ciple be applied impartially, and not
against labor unions alone, and there
will be no longer a labor question in our
country. 1t is because our laws deny
"the right Of man to live," that there 10
90 much undeserved poverty and 90
much unearned wealth in the land. Out
OF lite own mouth is this anti.labor paper
condemned.
