Bell and was showed out of sight"
The famous Tom Corwin, United
States senator from and governor of
Ohio, used to tell a story of an cleo
ton in Rhode Island. In the spring of
1911 at the annual election in Rhode
Island, there was town precinct close
ly contested by the federal and the re-
publican tne peace and war; parties.
A federal farmer, hurrying down to
vote just before closing time was
stopped on the way by finding one of
his valuable pigs caught in a fence. He
tried to pull the pig out and failed.
Then with some difficulty he pried
away one of the planks, released the
pig. and started on Il run for the poll
ing place. Just as he got within one
struck six. The polls closed without
his vote. The result was that a war
representative from that town was
elected by one vote. When the general
assembly met a few weeks afterwards
a war senator was chosen by one ma
jority on joint ballot. In 1912 the dec
laration of war with England was car
ried in the United States by one vote.
General Jackson was nominated as a
mo or oaDaraI and confirmed nv one
vote. He commanded the army at the
battle of New Orleans. won a great
victory became popular military
hero. was elected and reelected pres
ident, turned all the wings out of office
removed all the deposits from national
banks, vetoed the bank bill and played
pig away up in Rhode Island got fast
in a plank fence
These illustrations should show
every voter the Importance of having
his vote recorded on November s. If
he lives in an Incorporated town sucn
as Walla Wala. Waitsburg and Pres
colt, he must be registered with the
city clerk before he can exercise the
right of suffrage. The last day for
registration is October IS. Do not run
the risk of neglecting this duty alto
gether by putting it off from day to
day but register at once. The saliva
ton of this commonwealth from the
rule of a corrupt and corruptng lobby
may depend upon your vote.

WHERE LIFE IS THE MOST
HEALTHFUL AND LONG.

In Grand Isle County. Vermont there
was in 1901 a population of 4462, and
the deaths from tuberculosis numbered
three. In 1902 the deaths from this
cause We're six and in 1903 only two.
We wonder, if there is so low death
rate from tuberculosis anywhere else
thing like similar conditions In this
county there are no villages except
small ones. and not over 100 people in
any village. The houses are all several
rods from each other. The population
is almost entirely farmers and fruit
growers. The county is literally an is
land and strong winds continually blow
over the water surrounding it. That
such exceptional conditions have an
influence upon the mortality is plain
from that of Franklin county, lying
next to Grand Isle. and not so sparSely
settled. but otherwise similarly cir
cumstanced in which the death rate
from tuberculosis was in 1901, 0,179,
as against O067 in Grand Isle 1t might
be pity to raise the death rate Of
the citizens, but what a place for a
tuberculosis sanatorium Perhaps the
whole state of Vermont would get the
prize in a state contest for a health
prize. There has been a steady de-
crease in the deaths from tuberculosis
100, to 1908, when they We're only 430.
In 1901 there We're AS dying of senile
debility or general decay, and 145 of
nine We're over 100 years old.

are now back in the republican ranks,
whence they came, and they have been
so loud in their professions of loyalty
TO the grand old party for the last six
years that it would be useless for them
now to pose as populists. Hence the
railroad plan of distributing free
passes and furnishing free board and
ulist convention to nominate Il state
ticket has apparently been abandoned.
However. the morning paper seems
to have heard of such d convention
having been held somewhere in Seat
tie last Tuesday, and perhaps it will
be so obliging as to give its eager and
anxious readers the details of the
meeting. If George COtterill. Judge

gonian is likely to give rise to much
perpleXity in the minds of voters who
have been inclined to believe that
President Roosevelt mad incurred the
hostility of the trusts in this cam
paign by the governments suit against
the Northern Securities merger and
its harmless injunction suit against
the beef trust:
NEW YORK, Oct. S-(SpeciaD
says:
The beef trust is for Roosevelt.
Some of its officers have made big
contributions to the campaign
fund. J. ogden Armour today
said:

AUTO FOR CHINESE EMPRESS.

The Empress DOWager of China has
ordered an automobile in Germany
a large. up-to date touring car, with
dragons on the side. says Golfers
tail in which it differs from the loco
motives which ply our own city thor
oughfares. And this is the seventy
year-old female ruler of the dreaming.
changeless Chinese Empire Change
was probably never so rapid as it IS to-
day, because communication was never
50 easy, and by communication each
country undergoes not only its own
spontaneous internal alterations, but
the changes also of every other land. 1t
is rather startling to come out of the
Roman Forums ruins and see the pro-
gressive King of Italy scorching alone
in his automobile, followed by retainers
on their bicycles: but the contrast be-
tween Italy's old artistic atmosphere
and her modern methods is nothing to
the contrast between the Chinese tra+
ditions and habits, and the cOntempOr-
airy devices and customs which will no
doubt rapidly increase. If the empress
can SO promptly secure a touring car,
there is no reason why she should stop
at any western innovation. When the
monarch asked for a motto that
should fit every experience, the wise
men wrote. This also shall pass away.
The great world spins forever down
the ringing grooves of CHANGE Yet
often the surface alters when the spirit
is unchanged. So it may be that when
every Chinaman uses telephone
reads a daily paper. and rides in an au-
tomobile his soul will be as different
from ours as it is today.

1t is generally conceded that
Port Arthur will eventually fall
into the hands of the japanese.
Since the outbreak of the present
war it has been pcrsistently stated
from time to time by the military
authorities in London, that Port
Arthur could not hold ont more
than a few weeks and yet more
than six months have passed. 1t
is evident that sympathy for the
