CONGRESSMAN JONES WITH THE
RAILROADS.

Congressman Wesley L. Jones in a
recent speech delivered himself of the
following:
DO you think you can secure a rail-
way commission by electing Senator
Turner governor? l tell you, in my
judgment, you can not. The senate
will certainly be republican, and that
body will never pass such a law under
those circumstances. With Mr.. Mead
governor they might. l don't say they
won't pass such a bill, but they never
will, in my judgment, and l would not
were in the senate, allow the demo-
cratic party to nave the credit for
such an important piece of legisla
tion.'
Congressman Jones is one of the mar
row minded sort who place partisan
prejudice above the welfare of the
state He takes it for granted that
republican majority in the Legislature
would be as narrow as himself in re-
fusing to pass a commission bill favor
ed by democratic governor for fear
the democratic party might get some
credit for the accomplishment. This
announcement of Jones presents him
in a sorry light before the voters of
this state. But it is not a surprise to
close observers of his political conduct
during the last two years. In 1902 ne
attempted to carry water on both
shoulders. The Yakima delegation to
the republican state convention was
nom committal on the question of a
railway commission until it was evident
that Governor Mcbride had small
majority, when Jones made haste to
deliver the delegation in favor of the
seat in congress. This year it was
plain that the railroads would be able
to control a Majority of the delegates
and the Yakima delegates under the
direction of Jones lined up against Nc
Bride and mis- commission plank. Jones
is now in the railroad camp body, soul.
boots and breeches and he is no more
entitled to the votes of supporters of
a railway commission than is Albert f.
Mead the Farrell GrOsscup nominee for
governor.
If the state of Washington were di-
vided into three congressional dis
tricts as it should be according to the
state constitution and the laws Of
congress, Jones would stand poor
show of getting another term from the
eastern Washington district. He knows
this and that is his reason for opposing
the apportionment of the state into
congressional districts. But few
more breaks like that quoted at the
head of this article will make it impos-
sible to elect him even as a congress-
man at large.

TURNER NINDICATES HIS CLAIM

Judge Turner in his speech Satur-
day night answered the assertion of
the Seattle observation-disclosures that he
had falsely claimed to be the author
of the clause in the state constitution
providing for the creation of a railway
commission. The Seattle paper said
that Turner. not being a member of
the committee on corporations other
than municipal could have had moth
ing to do with the drafting of the
clause creating a commission. Judge
Turner explained that although he was
not a member of the committee on
corporations, after the clause offered
by the committee creating Il commits
sion outright had been defeated, ne
offered half a dozen propositions on
the commission question, modifying
them each time until finally he found
one acceptable to the majority of the
convention. This is the clause that is
now a part of the state constitutions
AS witnesses to the truth of his state
ments Judge Turner referred to Dr.
n G.. Blalock, Judge 3. l.. Sharpstein
and Captain p. B. Johnson, all Of
whom were in constant attendance at
that convention

A. The friends and supporters OF
the commission.
@. Did he stand in with that COM
bination?
A. He did, and they nominated him
because of the service he had rendered
in the past toward securing railroad
legislation.
Q. When did ne render these SER
vices?
A. When a member of the legisla-
ture he always worked with the repre-
sentatives from eastern Washington
in their efforts to secure lower freight
rates.
@. Then Mr.. Coon is non-commlttal
on the commission question but was
nominated by it's opponents, while Mr..
Judson is an outspoken champion of the
policy and was nominated by it's
friends?
A. Yes.
@. Which one of the two men will
the republicans who really believe IN
the commission support?
A. That question will be answered
on the Sth day of next November.

The republican state committee I'M
der the direction of ex-senator Wilson
is making an effort to divert the at
tention of the voters of the state from
the railroad issue by importing speak
ers of national fame to discuss ma
tional issues. But the people know
that there is no question of RoOsevelts
carving the electoral vote of the state
by a big majority and they refuse to
become excited over the presidential
contest. The proper regulation and
control of public service corporations
is the paramount issue and all efforts
to sidetrack it will prove futile.

pendage is at the present time more a
fixed custom, without contemporary
significance, or an essential part of
the physical man, than a compulsory
legal or religious form.
A portion of Sir Cnentungs declar-
alton is of great interest, not only for
what he says in directly rectifying our
beliefs, but particularly for what it
implies of hope and chance for the in
stallment of modern energy and ideas
into the Monaghan character. There
is" he says, nothing in the Chinese re-
ligion or morals, nor in the require
ments of the government, affecting the
habit of queue wearing. 1t is entirely
a matter of individual custom and
preference. The Chinese wear queues
because of centuries of habit. Many
Chinese even in China, have cut off
their queues without exciting remark.
Figuratively speaking, China's pre-
dominating difficulty is the queue. The
queue stands for centuries of habit"
1t typifies China, the country which
cannot be new because it is old, which
cannot progress, because it aims at the
standards of former times, and which
cannot show it's strength or assume
sphere because its strength is subject
to a mental state. which is subject to
an influence that, once real and pOten
tial has been imaginary, slumbern
ducive and decadent in effect during
ages luminous with ever increasing
happiness and general advancement
elsewhere.
China is the one great power in the
world that is without power. The con-
a blessing for the human family; as
Chnas power would act around the
world with the destructive wrath of a
furious volcano, and civilization would
succumb to some of the evils and ills
of earlier loWliness of spirit. heart and
mind. Until China shall have broken
the chains of centuries of habit the
nations weakness and fearful dOcility
are graces for universal betterment.
Japan was not reinvigorated until
it was reborn; until it had defied nam
pering custom. changed it's ideals, de-
parted from the old standards and even
suppressed hereditary impulses. When
Japan rejected the old and accepted the
new it absorbed greater vital energies,
and in fifty years reconstructed its
systems and confOrmed its habits.
ideals and works to the circumstances
and requirements of modern civiliZa-
ton.
Chna's case had seemed hopeless un-
til very recently. But, if the Chinaman
tung asserts, the nations may not re-
tain such deep dread of the force that
the country could exert. China would
be an awful menace to the world, If,
while wearing its queue it should buy
guns and battleships and train its
myriads of men to fight and fight
braVely. The world would not be so
suspicious and domineering if the
queues should be cut off and the
ideals.

that George Turner is Il tool of the
railroad corporations in disguise. If

also opposed to Roosevelt because of
the fight made by the government
against the merger, as advised by Judge

moral effect of the election of Mead
