WILL NOT FOLLOW COSGRONE.

Samuel G. Cosgrove in his speech at
Aromry hall last night frankly admit
ted that railroad lobbyists took a
prominent part in the Tacoma conven-
ton. He stated that the railroad ia
vorites for governor were b. D. Crock
er of Tacoma and Senator Baker of
klickitat county. and that the nOmi-
nation falling between the two stools
went to Albert E. Mead" In other
words the railroad lobbyists agreed
upon Mead as compromise between
Crocker and Baker.
Mr.. CosgrOve's only excuse for sup
porting the candidate of the railroa d
lobby, which he so severely denounced
on the floor of the convention, is that
he was d candidate for governor him
self and that he feels in honor bound
to support the nominee of the conven-
ton in which he took so prominent a
part. This argument will have no
weight win tne thousands OF McBflQe
republicans in the state who were not
candidates for governor. 1t is con-
coded that CosgrOve will be chosen as
one of the Roosevelt presidential elect
ors. but the independent voters OF the
state will not agree with him that il
is necessary to accept ticket dictated
by corrupt and inSOlent lobby il
order to vote approval of the Dingley
tariff or Of President Roosevelts pen
sion policy.

THE CANDIDATE.

A candidate is an American citizen
frenziedly anxious to neglect his own
business for chance to neglect that
of the nation, says Life. He is as full
of promise as an early spring is OF dos
SONS; he mears a smile as wide as
pasture and as genuine as ChefOo
street with men he shakes head at
in the bank; and he raises his hat to
ladies his wife raises her nose and
eyebrows to. He is solicitOus about
the health of babies he never saw and
babies he wishes he couldn't see; and
while he amazes the righteous by the
sudden fervor of his faith, he earns
reputation as dead-game sport IN
regions where religion grows more
slowly than Rockefeller's hair. AS
good citizen and unyielding reformer,
he abhors corruption; but as an hon
est merchant he is willing to pay for
all goods that are delivered, be they
steel billets or stolen ballots. A MEM
Der OF the church, he shudders at the
twin curses of civilization-rum and
tobacco: but as a citizen merely in
politics for his health, he subsidies
the drinking of that health early and
often, and he knows no better plan of
smoking out the enemy than out
smoking him. Moreover, no good
American. deeply interested in the
prosperity of American industry, can
deliberately discourage two wide
spread agencies of wealth and expect

DONELL'S PLEA FOR RAILROADS.

Our Tom Dovell. who was one of
the 115 automatOns from King county
voted in a bunch by the Farrell Piles
combinat ton at the Tacoma cOnVen-
ton, makes no pretense OF beng IN
favor of railway commission. His
speech at Armory hall was a plea for
the railroads. He said that the cities
along the sheltered sea across the
summit of the Cascades believe that
their development and they think that
the prosperous farmers of eastern
manding the creation of a commission
at this early period in the history of
the state Mr. Dovell by the use of
we" in referring to the people of the
Sound cities, identified himself unmis-
takably with the opponents of rail-
way commission.
Mr.. Dovel further committed him
self to the railroad cause by attempt
ing to prove that the railroads now pay
all the taxes that they are under any
legal or moral obligation to pay. He
ridculed Judge Turner's contention
that the assessable valuation of rail-
road should be ascertained by adding
to the market value of its stock, its
bonded indebtedness. AS this plan of
taxation was upheld by the supreme
court of the United States in a case
appealed by a railroad company from
Illinois, Mr. DOvell is placed in the
attitude of ridiculing the highest court
of the land Such irreverence for this
august tribunal was denounced as
anarchy by the republicans in 1896
when the democratic national cOnven-
ton had the termerity to criticise the
vobbling of the court in deciding the
income tax case. Surely Mr.. Dovell
would not relish being called an an
archist for daring to question the
/ divinity that hedges ABOUT the nlSn-
est court of the land. as the Bryan
democrats were eight years ago.
Mr.. Dovelrs speech might have been
we'll enough AS a plea of Il railroad tax
agent before a county or state board
of equalization, but it was poor argu-
ment with which to convert support
ers of a railway and tax commission
Tom does not seem to be aware OF
commission sentiment has become SC
strong that even the railroad machine
has been forced to declare for COM

county was in the procession. To
muster up the small number in the
parade men and boys were drafted
from the sidewalks by jealous par
tisans from the county court house.
The meeting at Armory hall was I'M
doubtedly the largest of the campaign,
but it was plain that fully half the
people were there simply out of curiOs-
ity to see Boss Farrells hypnotic sub
iect The applause came almost en-
tirely from the three score men and
boys in white uniforms sitting in the
balcony near the speakers, the claquers
being led by deputy from the county
assessors office. Not more than a
score of people in the main audience

Mcbride commission men We're in the
audience, and without exception they
went away declaring that they had
heard nothing to dissuade them from
their purpose of rebuking the domi-
nation of their party organization by
the railroad lobby.
The big meeting did not make a sim
gle convert to the railroad cause.
When it is considered that the repub-
lican central committee went to eX-
traordinary expense to make a record
breaking demonstration, even running
free hacks to all points within a
radius of fifteen miles of the city in
order to make sure of crowd, the
results of their efforts must be disap-
pointing Certainly the supporters of
Judge Turner and railway commits
sion, far from being dismayed by
the display of red fire. booming OF
anvils and shouting of 81 retainers, are
in fact greatly encouraged by the
many proofs given last night of the
weakness of the railroad cause in this
county and of the cohesion of the
commission forces in spite of dc>i,cr-
ate efforts to proselyte voters from
their ranks

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

one of the interesting addresses at
the recent convention of the Pennsyl-
cred by Mr.. William D. Power of Pitts
burg, who took for his subject The
Advertising of a Financial institution.
Mir. Power had been quietly investi
eating this subject for some time, and
when he appeared before the assem-
bed representatives of all that is con-
sentative in business, he told them
been keeping tab on affairs in his
home city, and watching the progress
of the various banks and trust COM
panies, noting carefully which. adver
tised most and which advertised not
at all.
The substance of his conclusions is,
that over a period of five years. the
banks that have persstently adver
tised have made gains, in every re-
spect greater than the non advertis-
ing banks: that in capital the ad-
vertising banks have gained II per
cent and the non-advertisers 5 per
I.cent. In surplus the advertisers show
gains of Is per cent. against 10 per
cent on the part of the nom advertis-
ers. Most important of all is the item
of increase in deposits, and here there
was a gain of % per cent on the part
If the banks that advertised, and
loss of : per cent on the part Of the
banks that did not advertise. This lat
ter showing was the most surprising,
! the difference being so great.
Many business men will remember
when it was thought beneath the dig
nifty of bank or financial institution
to advertise. A bank stood back from
the ranks of enterprises whose man.
agement sought to acquaint people
with their merits through the liberal
use of printers ink. A sort of old
/ fashioned conservatism hedged around
a bank. and it was thought not only
unnecessary. but even undignified. for
| such an institution to solicit patronage
/ as did the dry goods merchant or other
man in the mercantile trade.
OF recent years this feeling has been

Frank LiCkliter Re. Arrested

Frank Lickliter the Staunton
boy who WIS at Charleston, ". Va.
last week, found not guilty of the
murder Of lsheIl in the watermelon
car, was taken into custody by
Staunton authorities on his arrival
il that city, on a warrant for the
larceny Of &58 from II Stannton
grocery store.
This theft was committed two
years ago. and the matter was
hustled up at the time by the pay
ment, by the parents of the boy, of
the money taken.
1t is the talk now that the gro
ceryman had no right to receive
payment for his loss and that
otauntoE officials have laid them
selves liable for their failure in ex-
ecuting the warrant, they havin z
had ample opportunity of doing so.
Since his arrest Lickiter has
been indicted for hOusobreaking
and larceny and his trial is set for
Thursday of this week. On Sa'ur-
dav last he aSreleased from prison
on bail.
1T seems that the unearthing of
TINS old trouble is due to the fact
that some of the citizens Of Staun-
ton would prefer not to have the
boy running at large in their
midst.
