The following article from the Spo.

BILE that we publish it entire:
The daily papers of the Northwest are
making themselves ridiculous in their
attempts to convince the public that they
have the best, the latest. and the only
reliable news from the Far East. The
truth Of the matter is that no person,
not even the heads of the respective
War Departments of Russia and Japan,
has clear and concise ides of the &C.
tual conditions now prevailing. The
commanders OF the various naval and
military subdivisions probably have q
thorough grasp of conditions in their
respective commands, but in general it
is practically impossible to understand
thoroughly Just what is actually occur
ring. The claim of this paper, that
paper. or the other publication, that it
has special correspondents on the scene,
that it has special boats, means of trans
p0rtati0n, and other facilities for gather.
ing news, may be correct, but the truth
remains that with even the best of mod.
ern facilities no paper can keep track of
two navies, consisting each of several
widely scattered squadrons, and two
armies, composed of organizations OF
various classes and strength, stationed
in different portions of the country, with
such certainty that it can give to q wait
ing world complete and accurate details
OF all war news.
II the editor lives who has perfected
such an organization as is claimed by
every little daily throughout the land
he is wasting his talents in directing q
newspaper; he should be made Chief OF
the Bureau of Information of one oil
the contending nations. No man alive
knows the exact conditions existing al
the seat of war, and no man will know
them for several weeks to come.

DENOCRATlC
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
SEATTLE, Wash. Feb. -, 1904.
Ed. STANDARD:
Dtr Sir: have Just read an editor
ial in vour issue Of the 18th inst, where
in you make reference to an article in
the Walla Walla .>tdtesn.an criticising
myself. have not seen the article and
am therefore ignorant of all it may have
contained. 1t affords me pleasure, how
ever, to avail myself of the courtesy OF
your columns to reply to the charges you
refer to.
The Statesman accuses me of dispo-
sition to take snap judgment on the
Democrats Of the State in the interest Of
railroads." In what way, pray? Will
the Statesman point out in what way any
act OF mine could result in benefit to the
railroads? 1t is true called meeting
OF the Democratic State Central Com
mittee for the purpose OF selecting the
time and place of holding State Con-
ventlon to name delegates to the Demo-
cratic National Convention. This State
Convention will have nothing to do
with naming candidates for State Of
ficers, nor will it have aught to do with
making State platform. The charge
OF the Statesman is silly, and / deny
absolutely that ever consulted anyone
connected with the railroads in regard
to when or where the State Convention
should be held, and l deny that | had
any purpose or intention of helping
anybody or any interest except the
Democratic party.
The second charge that at the last
session of the Legislature | was allied
with the railroad lobby, is unqualifiedly
false. Every Democratic member Of
the last Legislature will testify that l
urged them to vote at all times to carry
out the pledges of the last Democratic
platform, although l was then in favor
of an elective railroad commission. l
believe in political parties carrying out
their pledges to the people, and l have
never vet knowingly been a party to
any effort to disregard the pledges or
promises made by the Democratic party
to the people. have never been in the
employ OF any railroad company in any
capacity whatever. l have never, di-
rectly or indirectly, received a dollar
from an officer, agent or representative,
any railroad company. l have never
been consulted by the railroads, nor am
l now in their confidence.
The charges made by the Statesman
are absolutely baseless and are without
any foundation of fact, and l respectfully
suggest that the editor of the Statesman
turn his guns against the vulnerable
armor of the common enemy, instead OF
making false accusations against DEM
Ocrat who, whatever his faults and
shortcomings, has never broken pledge
to his party, nor attempted to use the
positions of honor conferred upon him
by his party for personal gain or aggran-
dizement.
l ask nothing from the Democratic
party except permission to take my
place in the ranks and contribute nv
ability, if any / have. my time and some
money to promote and extend the prin-
ciples of that party which, since was is
years of age, has received my loyal and
consistent encouragement and support.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLES G. HEIFNER.
