Will Ask for a Commission.

BELLINaHAM, Nov. I5.-In an inter.
view given here yesterday, Governor.
elect Mead outlined in a most general
way the policy he would adopt and a
part Of the legislation whose enact
ment he would urge during his ad-
ministration. He also took occasion
to thank the chairmen Of the several
republican county committees Of the
state for the fight, they made in his
behalf.
He stated that he believed the days
Of the professional lobbyist was over,
and remarked that "the republican leg
islature can get along very well with
out the services OF this class OF political
leech." He declared that in his fret
message to the Legislature it was his
intention to make some specific
recommendation on the subject OF the
creation Of a railway commission,
either elective or appointive." What
that recommendation would be he re-
fused to say. He added, though, that
If the commission were appointed, be
should name the "best available men"
for service on it. He said that, at all
events, he should urge the creation OF
tax commission.
He mentioned the trade of Wash
ington, referred to its geographical
advantages, its resources, its oppor-
tunities, mines, farms, forests, and
said he should do everything he could
to foster the established industries oil
the state.

The country has many reasons for

people generally are more prosperous

unders landing between. the employer

Criticism Of the government would be
out Of place. There are more people

In all ways we are having a.-greater

Courtesy.
the state.

An exchange says courtesy is quail.
ity Of the heart and suggests forget.
fulness Of self, refinement and deli.
cacy OF temperament that prompts
the charming act as an impulse.
The gentle spirit OF courtesy betrays
itself in the manner OF addressing
subordinate-the mistress to her serv.
ant, the shopper to the weary Assist
ant behind the counter. A lack OF
courtesy often results from a mistaken
idea of ones own importance; the
thought is born in the heart, but
false idea Of independence prevents
the action. 1t is merely an act Of
courtesy and . mark OF nobleness OF
mind to voluntarily resign ones right
in favor Of another.
1t is the same mistaken idea that
confuses frankness with rudeness. 1t
is virtue not to resort to the many
petty receptions that mar our social
system, and while we turn with dis.
gust from the woman who bids her
friend an affectionate farewell one
moment and breathes . Sigh Of relief
at her departure the next, we can but
admit that q truly courteous heart
will refrain from speaking an unpleas-
ant truth without imperiling the per.
sons veracity.
