Now is a good time to impress it
on our members of the legislature
elect, that if they wish to endear
themselves to their constituents they
should pass a law shutting out the
peddlars who have thriven in this
state for the past four years at the
expense of the local dealer. Steps
should be taken at once by the local
dealers to form an organization
whose object would be the shutting
out of this nuisance from the Dor
ders of the state. Any member
elect Of the present house who in
PRODUCES and forces to a successful
consummation such a bill, is en-
titled to the respect and considera-
ton of the people of the state and a
life seat in the legislature if he so
desires.

1900 people The entire population
OF the county did not exceed 1000
souls. This rich section nov has
two towns within its borders with a
population of 1000 each and a dozen
villages with from 80 to $50 poppla-
ton and all on the increase. From
wild prairie land, not considered
by some worth the 1915 an acre
1.-THE price placed upon it by the
government it has increased to .
valuation of $50 and better, a price
not exceeded by any country in the
United States under similar adverse
physical conditions. Ten thousand
people with happy homes, school
houses, churches and all other con-
veniences of modern civilization, are
now within the borders of this once
wilderness of bunch grass and pines.
All these changes have come about
in the short space of nine years,
and yet the country is just in the
first stages of permanent Improve
ment. With the advent of a rail-
road, conditions will change much
more rapidly in the next nine years
than in the nine years just past. To
those who contemplate selling out
and moving to a newer field, think
ing that the chance for easy money
has passed, we would say that in no
country in the United States is the
future more bright and the oppor-
tunities more varied than here on
prairie.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day.
The people of Nezperce prairie have
good reasons to be thankful this
year. A bountiful crop has been
given them, abundant time in which
to harvest it has been granted, good
prices have prevailed and the ma
terial things of life are abundant,
and barring the average run of woe
and misery, we should be truly
thankful. Then when the morrow
comes eat, drink and be merry, and
show your appreciation of these
blessings.

The socialist vote in the county
and state shows a marked increase
over two years ago. An average
vote of 400 was cast in this county,
just about doubling the vote of 1902.
Debs, for president, heads his
ticket with a total vote of 448.
Hartley heads the candidates on the
county ticket with a total vote Of
Ala for commissioner.

The lot of a legislator in Wash
ington state this winter should be a
happy one. With three millionaires
wanting to be United States senator
there should be plenty of good cheer
and jollihcation, and the boys are
foolish if they do not stave off the
election till the end of the term.

Stocks rose from two to three
points on Wednesday and Thursday,
the buying and selling being quite
unprecedented. 1t is alleged that
the stock exchange in this city was
the only one in America which did
business on election day. On Wed
nesday bread fell to its normal price
in Washington. 1t is a great relief
to everybody, politicians included,
that the policy of this country for
the next four years is known, and
that the questions regarding the
canal, the Philippines, the size of
the army and navy, Imperialism and
Booker Washington, have been laid
upon the shelf.
1t is too early yet to speak ad-
visedly of forthcoming changes in
the executive branch of the govern
ment. There is no hurry as every
thing is running smoothly, and the
president a bide his time, being
master of the situation. Because
Justice Fuller will reach the
retiring age of s~eventy-two years
next March, enabling him to receive
pension of $4,000 it is assumed
hat he will resign, and then it is
pointed out that Secretary Taft will
made chief justice. Messrs.
Hay, Norton, Wilson and Metcalf
will probably retain their portfolios
'ut it is thought that Secretaries
shaw and Hitchcock may wish to
esign for the purpose of attending
private business. If all these
hings happen there will be places
for Mr.. Cortelyou without
lisplacing Mr.. Wynne, the post
Master general. The president will
ave the war, the treasury and the
Interior vacancies at his disposal.

not even the weather man.
