la protest against the nomination of Parker at
the dictaton of the conservative Democracy.
No marvel of successful administration on
his part, no miracle of good behavior on the
: part of the party in congress, can hold this
Bryan vote for it against the kind of candidate
the Democratic party is sure to nominate four
years hence. Should the president presist in
his refusal to be candidate again, the magic
of his personal popularity will be lost to the
party also. The Republicans must be pre-
pared to go into future contests for congress
and the presidency with only it's normal strength
This should be enough, if it can be kept good.
The Republican problem of the next four years
lis going to be to keep it good.
1t is not too early to discuss this problem,
because it's terms will be presented and it's solu-
ton will begin with the meeting of congress-
The holding of the thinking and independent
Republican VOTE without which the party
never has succeeded, will depend upon the
whole course of Legislation and administration.
1t will have to be borne in mind i'm every act
and every vote upon measures of public policy.
We believe the president be trusted
to do this. 1t is the business of the more in
teligent and critical part of the party press to
keep continually before congress and the party
leaders the necessity of seconding and uphold
ing him.
The lumber combine in this state holds an
annual meeting each winter at which time the
wholesale and relail prices on all white pine
fixed and unto the local dealer who
does not adhere to the rules laid down for him.
Should he underbid a competitor a bill of
lumber, the matter is reported to the head
quarters of the association, and retail offender
is blacklisted from receiving any lumber
until his case has been satisfactory settled.
The retailers at the mercy of the big associa-
ton and are debarred from doing business on !
any other lines. This combination of the whole
sale lumber trust has worked we'll, that the
coal dealers doing business in this
state are now working the same "cinch" racket.
We have in mind local fuel dealer in western
town who refused to enter COM
oine of local dealers and raise price of anthracite
coal 25c per ton, whereupon he was notified by !
he wholesale dealer that his next order could !
1ot be filled until the controversy had been !
satisfactorily adjusted This is certainly a
combine in restraint of trade and legitimate }
and it is hoped that a test case
will be made of it in the courts.-Browns Valley

The South is almost entitled to sympathy (

Unfortunate for the whole nation.
