Political Outlook
States That Will Give Judge
Parker His Majority.

A special to the Dallas News
from New York gives the follow
ing estimates OH the presidential
election;
These are the states upon which
the Democratic National Campaign
managers are counting to supply
the eighty electoral votes that
must be added TO the votes Of the
solid South 10 give Judge Parker
the a39 votes in the electoral col
lege that constitute a majority Of
that body:
Colorado ....5 New York :. SO
Connecticut ...7 Utah. ". 8
Indiana ILLS West Virginia 7
Montana ......3
Neyada....3 Total .....S2
If the courts should uphold the
democratic contention that one Of
the republican electors nominated
in California is ineligible it would
be possible to lose either Montana
or Utah and still have bare ma
jority in the electoral college.
II is admitted by the democratic
managers that while there is a fight
ing chance of carrying New Jersey,
Wisconsin and Delaware, the out
look in these states is not favorable
TO the democratic ticket.
Henry G. Davis, accompanied by
David B. Hill and Senator German
will begin his speaking tour Of
Maryland and West Virginia to-
morrow With a mass meeting in
Baltimore tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Davis is keeping a close
track Of the developments in the
campaign all over the country and
is in constant touch with the ma
tional headquarters here. His tour
Of West Virginia is expected 10
make that state certain for the
democratic candidate, and the
Parker managers are giving them
selves no uneasiness regarding it.
From West Virginia Mr. Hill
will 60 to Indiana, where he will
find Thomas Taggart, chairman Of
the national committee. Mr.. Tag
CART will leave at the end Of this
week TO take personal charge Of the
campaipn in his own state. Heck
poets 10 be away about ten days
aud to bring back positive assur-
ance that Indiana will so demo
cratic.
The announcement that the re-
publican national committee re-
fused to send any speakers of note
into this state, and that the State
committee must depend upon local
speakers, is construed by leading
democrats to mean that Indiana
! has been abandoned by the repub-
licans and that their efforts are tc
be concentrated elsewhere. 1t j:
also said that when Mr.. Fairbank:
was nominated for the vice presi
dency, Governor Durbin State
Chairman Goodrich, Harry New
and others told the Roosevelt man
ayers that Indiana would be cared
for outside Of the national commit
tee.
Leading democrats say that the
republicans polls show that tht
party is III a minority and thai
their only hope is in arraigning the
the labor vote against Parker. Re
publican employers are opposed te
that kind OF campaign, though
and nothing is being done openly
along that line.

WOULD RAISE FARMERS TAXES.

Deputy Assessor Cadman is not the
only republican spellbinder who is con-
tending that the farmers are worse
than the railroads in lodging their
just taxes. In Tom Dovell's eastern
Washington speeches he is asserting
the same thing. At Ritzvile Tuesday
night he declared:
The railroads come nearer paying
their just proportion of taxes than any
other property owner in the state"
Mr.. Dovell then ridiculed Judge Tur-
ner's contention that the true valua-
ton of the railroads should be obtained
by adding to their bonded indebted
ness the market value of their stock.
AS Turner's argument is based upon a
decision of the supreme court of the
United States in a case appealed by a
railroad company from Illinois, Mr.
povell should turn his batteries upon
me supreme court and try to hammer
Vt little of what he calls common sense
into the heads of such incompetents as
chief Justice Fuller, Justices Harlan.

WILL TAKE FORMER ADVICE.

Two years ago the Argus bolted part
of the republican county ticket, giving
its earnest support to George Struthers
for county commissioner and to J. w.
Cookery for coroner Now the Argus
is very severe in it's censure of all re-
publicans who do not give their sup
port to the entire ticket and it is max
ing a particularly hard fight to beat
George Struthers. Two years ago it
said that it was not for the public in
terest to have all the members of the
board of commissioners Of one pOliti-
cal party. 1t recognized in George
Struthers one Of the best and most
capable men in the county and unSO-
licited. without money and without
price. gave him it's support.
The Argus showed good Judgment in
its support of Mr.. Struthers and the
people are now sorry that they did not
take its advice. They will make
amends this year, however. by electing

WHAT is SUCCESS.

The constant recurrence of this
question deserves to be noted as posi-
bly, indicating a new drift of Ameri-
can thought and sentiment. We see it
propounded every day, and the fact
may mean that the people have
weighed success" and found it
measured in ccmmercialism and mil
lions. 1t may mean "a reaction of the
so-called commercial spirit"
The propounding of the question is
perhaps, hopeful sign that we are
beginning to look more to the things
that money won't buy. which are more
valuable in making up happiness than
are the things that money will buy
Surely a man whose happiness is
measured solely in terms of dollars and
cents is poor. To be but a million dol
lars happy is far short of successful
deed, is it really worth living for?
Money has it's place, a very large
place, and one which seems larger
when it is vacant. But money cannot
fill up more than the shalloWer human
wants. After a certain amount is as
sembled it gratifies only a very mar
row want. the desire for more; and un-
less the subject be reduced to the
condition of the miser, to whom mere
accumulation is a wholly absorbing
passion, he finds life very empty.
In so far as the individual is re-
moved from the misers nature he is
incapable of success. or happiness,
through the getting of gain. If devoted
exclusively to this pursuit the individ-
ual who is not a miser is giving up
his life to a denial of the best that is
in him-of the best there is in life. He
lives unsatisfied and his disappoint-
ment renders him incapable even of
the fullest enjoyment of his money.
Success is happiness, and happiness
is varied, consisting In the satisfaction
of many natural desires. The more
wholesome those desires the more
easily they are satisfied and, odd
though it may seem, the more substan-
tial and enduring is the happiness. 70
give life to the pursuit of anything
less than the best conceivable happi-
ness is to sell it very cheap. az

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.

Tonight and Saturday fair.

The Union refers to Hon. W. H.
Doven as IAN avowed railroad COM
mission man" Toms old acquant-
ances here will wonder when he aVoW-
ed himself a supporter of a railway
commission. Soon after Governor Nc
Bride began his fight for IA railway
commission in 1902 our Tom" came
out in an interview declaring that
thereafter he would be one of Mr.. An
kenys most loyal supporters. He has
kept his word and is no longer re-
garded as a Boxer" His last fight
against the local railroad machine was
made in 1900 when his faction failed to
defeat Mr.. Ankeny for delegate to the
Philadelphia national convention. Not
long after Mr.. Dovells desertion of the
Boxers. he was placed on salary as
attorney for the Northern Pacific rail-
road and ever since he has been one of
Chief Attorney b. 5. GrOSScup's most
faithful disciples.

GENERAL KUROPATKIN A GREAT
SOLDIER.

In General kuropatkn the Russians
possess a general of the highest and
rarest order of military genius, says
the London Spectator. In the great
battle around Liao-Yang and in the
operations of the two months preced-
ing it he showed qualities of general
ship which, when they are properly
understood, will, we believe, call forth
universal admiration.
Consider what the task before Cen
eral Kuropatkin was when he took up
his command. 1t is true that he was
unable to hold his lines around Lao
Yang as Wellington held the lines at
Torres Vedras; but before he evacu
ated his prepared position he forced
against it in a twelve days action,
which inflicted. at any rate. as great
a loss on the assailants as on the de-
tenders.
1t was, however. in his retreat from
Liao-Yang, even more than in the bat
ties around it, that General Kuropat-
kin showed his military genius. He
managed to withdraw his army in the
face of the enemy's fierce assaults
and of their desperate attempts to turn
his TANKS, and also in spite of diff
cult country and of roads deep in
mud. And this he did without any loss
in guns or prisoners that is worth con-
sidering. 1t is officially stated by the
Japanese that only thirteen prisoners
We're taken. If this is indeed the full
tale. it is without parallel in the his
tory of war.
In General Kuropatkin the Russians
possess a soldier who knews how to
retreat in the face Of the enemy with
out being destroyed or even suffering
any serious decentralization. After all,
that is the Russian tradition. The men

THE SOCIAL ASPECT OF TUBER.
CULOSIS

In the great general movement for
the prevention of tuberculosis, it has
become clear that success is entirely
dependent upon securing the help of
the general public, of legislators and
of the benevolent of all classes and
faiths. The medical principles and
recommendations are pretty we'll de-
fined. their practical application and
decentralization. however. is impossible,
and legal agencies possible to be en-
listed. County and city "almshouses"
must be revolutionized, or at least sup
plemented by tuberculosis infirmaries
and sanatoriums for the poor; laws
and their carrying out are needed as
regards tuburculotic patients in the
public schools; in the trades homes,
poorhouses and many public institu
tons; as regards the disinfection Of
houses and especially in the country,
where deaths from tuberculosis have
taken place: boards of health must be
strengthened, paid, paid more. paid
still more, and held accountable for
failure to do their duties, ETC. There
are a hundred such ways in which the
public must be taught, and be inter-
ested in the work, and all of them de-
mand the cooperation of the public
itself The profession of medicine will
aid in every way to bring about its
own undoing as a money making oc-
cupation, but it is asking too much if
the people expect it to do so because
of their Indifference to their own self
interest and self preservation. Another
powerful reason for public help is to
avoid the danger that the crusade viii
be exploited for the gain Of the
commission men and those who farm
out the care and cure Of the victims Of
the disease to private sanatoriums and
hotels Incorporating as medical and
professional institutions. says a medi-
cal journal.

the rest Of the pompous and preten
tious nine in ermine. No doubt repe
titon of Mr.. Dovells speech at Ritz
vile would convince the court of its
error and secure a unanimous reversal
of the untenable decision in the Hi
nois case. But Mr.. Dovell and other
roads certainly are exhibiting monu-
mental gall in trying to convince the
farmers of eastern Washington that
they are not paying their just share of
taxes while the railroads are paying
too much. 1t is now plain that the tax
commission plank placed in the repub-
lican state platform by it's railroad
manipulators is in fact a promise to
the railroads that taxes will be equal
lied by raising the valuation of farm
lands, assessing the value of the crops
as proposed by Secretary of State Sam
Nichols. and by increasing the valua-
ton of everything else the farmer pos
sesses in order to tighten the burdens
Of the railroads and lower the taxes
n some of the loyal west side counties.
The Seattle Post -Intelligencer. John
l.. Wilson's railroad paper. is now en-
gagged in making open war upon the
prevailing assessment of farm lands in
eastern Washington, using Whitman
county as it's chief example. The rail-
roads have evidently abandoned all
the Farrell Grosscup ticket and they
now propose to punish the recalcitrant
republican farmers there by raising
their taxes.
In Wednesdays issue the Post-Intel-
ligencer says:
The province of a state tax commits
sion which the republican party is de-
handing is to thwart the tax dodger,
whatever his station or locality.
"One of the duties of state tax
commission will be to institute and
prosecute suits of impeachment against
negligent and incompetent officers and
prosecute them for perjury in making
false returns. 1t is safe to say that
no such return would have been made
from Whitman county had there been
a tax commission in this state
There is no difference in morals or
in ethics between tax lodging and re-
ceiving property from another and re-
fusng to pay for it.
That Whitman county is rObbing
the state in the matter of taxation
more than any other county, the re-
turns on file in the Office of the state
auditor bear Witness
would apply to Whitman county it
would also apply in Walla Walla coun-
ty and in all the other counties of
eastern Washington. 1t should be evil
dent to every farmer that self-protec-
ton demands that he vote his disap-
prevail of the railroad program by cast
ing his ballot for George Turner,
democratic legislature and the rest of
the democratic ticket. A vote for
Mead and a republican Legislature is a
vote to increase the taxes of the farm
er and lower the taxes of the railroads.

We don't believe that North
Dakota has ever seen a milder,
and a more pleasant winter SO far
than the present one. It has been
cold on one or two occasions, BUTT
is not that penetrating cold that
one finds in the states further east
and supposed to be in a temperate
climate. The winter so far has
been free from storms. Stock has
been able to Craze out on the prai-
ries, especially horses have been
able to get at the provender SO
bountifully supplied for their
needs. The old-time blizzard, like
the buffalo, seem to have gone from
our midst, and like the buffalo,
only exist in or near the :Zoologi-
cal gardens Of the east. We bes
lieve that as the country continses
to become more settled and more
cultivated that the winters. will
lose their terrors they once had.

Considerable complaint has been
made over the condition of the road
leading to the river landing. The
citizens from Oliver county, who
bring over loads of produce, find
it almost impossible to get up the
hill into Washburn without having
their horses shod. This matter
should be looked into and those
who come here to trade and sell
their produce should certainly be
provided with a road that can be
used during the winter months.
One man came in Wednesday and
reported that he came over with a
part of a load and it was almost
impossible to get into town. He
was compelled to secure another
team to help him up the hill. We
can secure much more trade from
that section if proper means are
provided, that is, have the roads SO
as to be easily travelled.

The Goodrich Citizen wants the
gophers exterminated, and advo-
Gates that the next session of the
be called upon to levy a special tax
on every 100 acres to be known as
a gopher bounty. There is a
much cheaper way, and one that is
just as effective and that is to get
some strychnine and go over the
fields early in the spring. giving
careful attention to mixing the
poison and placing it in the holes,
we believe that this. will be the
best means to meet this pest. If
the poison plan is carried out by
all the farmers throughout the
county next spring, a good many
dollars will be saved. We have
seen the bounty proposition tried,
with very poor success.
