ALREADY STEPS TAKEN TO Form A
New PARTY.-A New York dispatch
dated the day after election gives an
announcement from M. G. .Palliser,
Manager OF Thomas E. Watson's cam.
paign, that as a result OF the over.
whelming defeat of the Democratic
nominees, steps will Immediately be
taken for formation of a new party,
and that arrangements had been made
for conference in few days, between
Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Wat.
son, to formulate plans for that object.
1t is probably we'll that the result was
. Waterloo, to show the malcontents
who defeated the Democratic party in
1896 and 1900, what they amount to
when in the lead, and how difficult it
is to control the party after it had
been subject to their arbitrary lash.
They have had their day in court.
Let them hereafter follow, or 60 where
they belong, to the opposition. No
more dead weight should be carried,
nor further handicap be allowed. An
open, free and fair race on principle
will win, if the conservative, sober.
c,inded and patriotic people can be
"aited under sensible guidance.

Oiled Roads.

>eatt!e Is talking Of using oil on her
s:.eets. The use OF oil on roads
and streets has made good progress in
California. Still there has been some
complaint among the farmers and
merchants who claim it is more OF q
damage than Of good. Be this as it
may, Of oiled roads in the Golden
state there are nearly 1900 miles,
while the railroads have about 100 OF
oiled roadbed, and of streets $50 miles.
The oiling OF streets and roads has
passed the experimental stage. When
properly done, it is said to be great
improvement over the ordinary earth
road. Its first and greatest advantage
is the freedom from dust it secures,
and it is also means of making and
preserving firm and smooth road sur.
face, saving wear and tear, and pre-
venting mud in winter. By repeated
applications surface resembling AS
phalt may be had where the road has
been properly prepared for the oil
treatment. In Golden Gate Park,
at San Francisco, there are miles OF
macadam that can scarcely be dis
;inguished from asphalt, and for all
practical purposes are just as good
while the cost is vastly less. While
oiling involves much initial outlay, in
the long run it saves money by doing
away with the need of sprinkling and
OF frequent repairs.
"OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN THE
MORNING"-In alluding to defeat OF
the Republican clique in this county,
the Olympian says:
with the methods used to accom-
plish the defeat, every good citizen of
any and every party may we'll make pro-
test. The free use of money and beer,
the strong arm of coercion, the violation
of plain law, the use of the hosts of vice
and debauchery, to carry elections, is
always to he condemned. The present
is no exception to the rule. And with.
out these the Republican ticket would
have been elected entire"
Oh, thunder! If there ever was q
cabal which has played these "meth-
dds" to limit, it surely has been that
which has controlled our local politics
the past eight years. Has there ever
been a more open town than Olympia,
under the so.called business meth
DDS of the Lord.Owings gang? al
ways" in the above paragraph, seems
TO mean to be just after election and
defeat. Isn't it very unkind, however,
for our Republican brethren to turn
and rend the machine which like
Henry's Arithmetician, has a cog or
two out of place just now.

MIR. REA ASKS A Foolish QUESTION.
John Rea submits the inquiry in
the College Independent "What has
the Democratic party done in the past
ten or twelve years that would justify
vote of contidence?" Well, We'll
answer the question, although the
Democrats have had little opportunity
to adopt and enforce its policies with
| in that time by actual control of the
government. 1t did, however, within
that limit scare almost the life out OF
che chronic oiliceseekers always found
IN the dominant party, when a few
thousand popular votes might, in 1896,
have secured Democratic success in the
electoral college. That experience
fairly made the goose.pimples start
out on the the tough hides of the
party leaders, and led to curbing
somewhat the carnival of misrule that
caused a popular revolt which would
have undoubtedly been successful had
1t not been for coercion and purchase
OF votes. Unfortunately no system OF
free government can be devised which
may successfully safeguard against
such influences, and where the vote is
nearly evenly divided, corruption al.
ways supplies the balance of power.
controlling force. Therein lies the
Inherent weakness OF our form OF gov.
ernment. The purchasable vote of
the migrate, in the ballot-box, counts
as much as the ballot of the conscien.
tious, consistent and patriotic citizens.
