Speaking of republican candidates
there was street talk last week of Il
frame-up like this: For senator, Dr.
w. H. Hare of this city; representatives
of Prosser sheriff, Il. Y. Coleman of
this city; auditor, George S. Vance of
this city; clerk, II. B. Doust of this
city; treasurer, Lee little of this city;
county attorney, II. b. Rigg of this
city; assessor, Orlando Beck of this
city; superintendent of schools, Reu-
ben Schwartze of Mob Hill. The frame
up, of course, is called slate, but no
one will father it. Mr.. Rigg says ne has
not authorized the Use of his name in
connection with it, Lee little said posi-
lively to the writer that he had no
knowledge whatever as to who was re-
sponsible for it, and that his friend DIR.
Hare, with whom he had recently talk
ed, had heard nothing of it. And Col
onel w. w. Robertson avows that he
had nothing to do with it; that he is
not making any states, and does not in
tend to make any. These gentlemen were
undoubtedly honest in their assertions.
Either of them is too shrewd, if they
did conclude to go into the slate making
business, to frame up ticket exactly
like that. Not that it does not contain
the names of good men. They are all
good men, any of them being capable
TO acceptably discharge the duties of the
Office charged up to them, but there are
several good reasons why such a ticket
would not be a strong one. And one of
them is that it ignores Auditor New
comb. County Clerk Day, County Sur
veyor w. T. Meloy. and Assessor
Harry Coonse. Tney are all filling their
first terms, have made splendid Off
Gals, have hosts of friends and no one
possessed of much political judgment, in

The esteemed Republic, in taking the
position that all advocates of a railway
commission bill are actuated solely by
sordid motives, places very low es-
innate on the honesty and intelligence
of the people. The Herald believes that
vast majority of the people who advo-
cate commission DO so because they
believe it is right and that there is more
principle involved in the measure than
in any other that was ever advocated
in this state. But it all depends upon
a newspapers point of view, except that
our contemporary is unwise, to say the
least of it, to place itself in a position
to be the victim of the deadly parallel
by the democratic press.

In view of the defeat of the sewerage
and drainage bonds and the likelihood
of another fever epidemic, The Herald
would suggest to the Commercial club,
when it gets around to the good roads
proposition. that it first improve the
highway to the cemetery. 1t will prob
ably be more used than any other if
the present unhealthful conditions of
this town are not remedied

view of the unwritten law in republican

view of the unwritten law in republican
politics that one good term deserves
another, would leave them off of any
slate that was made up. But it is too
early yet for slate-making, although
there are enough receptive candidates
and plenty of material available to
make up several. The one in question
is probably like Topsy-"it just grew"
1t is liable to have its growth stunted,
however, before tine convention, although
it does contain names that may be on
the ticket.

1t is not fair, however, to overlook,
in this connection. the announcement by
the Democrat that it is in favor of the
nomination of Hon. f. b. Preble for
superior judge. The organ of Organism
is to be congratulated that it has found
one member of its party who can safely
be put forward It is hardly fair,
though, to leave Judge Preble standing
alone. He looks lonesome and needs the
support of buncn of victims. True,
the Hon. II. J. Snively is mentioned
on slate made up at Tacoma, for at
torney general. but this is state Office
and the local situation is under dis
cussion. Colonel Medill will have to
get busy. He processes to believe that
it will be easy for George Turner to
walk away with Mr.. Mead in this com
ty. and if that is true there is a remote
chance for some of the local statesmen
to pull through. Trot them out. colonel
Every office in the county is to be filled
and while Judge Preble and Sheriff
Grant are both good and clever fellows
they're not quite capable of making up
the entire ticket.

THE LAX PARENTS.

The policy adopted by the school
board this year of observing Memorial
day in the schools by public exercises
and exhibiting the work of the pupils to
the parents and general public cannot
be too warmly commended. 1t creates
more interest among the pupils and
gives the parents an opportunity to see
what they are doing not to mention the
spirit of patriotism awakened in the
hearts of the pupils. But majority of
the parents of this town deserve censure.
The Herald is sorry to say, for turning
out in such small numbers when the
work of the schools is on exhibition. If
this newspaper was to enlarge on this
it might say some very unkind Things
of the parents who do not take an hour
in years to ascertain how their children
are progressing and learn of the work
and method of the schools. If their
interest in their children is as lax in the
homes, it will produce mighty poor
brand of manhood and womannood. The
large majority of our teachers are cap
able and conscientious and unselfishly
devoted to their professions. They de-
serve the cooperation and gratitude of
the parents and little interest occa-
sionally exhibited by attending the
schools and commencing their efforts
and the work of the scholars will accom-
plish wonders in the way of securing
better results from both

County Treasurer Peck, it is said
will not be a candidate for denomination
this fall, and there are several aspi-
rants for his position. o. A. Clark, the
present efficient deputy in the office, has
avowed himself as one, while Asa
Schwartze also says he will make the
Sunnyside. Clint Kelso of Kiona and Lee
Title of the Mckee are also talked of as
candidates. but the latter gentleman
says ne is not an aspirant. Any one OF
the gentlemen would be elected if nom,
mated and would aceeptably discharge
the duties of the office.

If this city is to have another fever
epidemic this summer and fall it would
be only justice if Providence confined
the affiction to those people who voted
and worked against the sewerage and
drainage bonds.

Perhaps, though, this sphynx-like ST
lence is maintained in pursuance of a
plan of campaign that has evidently
been mapped out by Colonel Medill of
the Democrat. Its editorial columns.
always interesting, are fairly teeming
just now with local politics. But the
trend of all of it is in the direction of
stirring up strife among the republi-
cans. the democratic colonel seems to
think his efforts in this direction will
bear fruit and that later there may be
pie to divide among his little handful
of faithful followers. If he is depending
on this, however. he had better take
another tack without delay. In the re-
cent little scrap in the republican ranks,
which was somewhat animated at one
stage of the proceedings, the boys dem
onstrated at the state convention that
they could pull together in spite of their
differences. And they will do it again
after the next county convention. Even
of the candidates for the nominations
next August, they will not be carried
beyond the walls of the convention. The
candidates and their friends. if they
can't make up their minds to accept de-
feat gracefully, will be wise enough to
keep out of the scrap. Judging from
the number of aspirants now talked of,
the next republican county convention
is likely to be a rather spirited affair.
There are one or more-usually more
candidates for every place on the ticket.
Even the invulnerable Sheriff Grant does
not dismay the republicans and there
are at least two well qualified candi-
dates, with the returns just beginning to
come in, who are willing to try con-
illusions with him.

PAT POINTS IN
PASSING POLITICS.

The local democrats, evidently, nave
little hope of making any showing in
the approaching campaign as far as the
county offices are concerned. They ex-
pect to re-elect Sheriff Grant, perhaps,
but that is by no means certain, and as
for the other places on the ticket, there
don't seem to be any candidates. At
least, no talk is heard about this or
that man aspiring to serve the people.
Senator Splawn is spoken of occasion
ally as likely to make the race to sue
coed himself if the republicans should
make weak nomination, but they are
not going to do that. There is plenty of
good senatorial timber in the republican
party in this county, aside from the
two or three gentlemen now aspiring for
the nomination, and after the county
convention is held Mr.. Splawn is likely
to conclude that mis- live stock interests
demand his undivided attention This
scarcity of democratic aspirants for of
flee is pretty good evidence that that
party has little hope of overcoming the
republican majority in November. Sew
eral of the democratic politicians pre-
tend to believe that Turner, if he is
nominated, will carry the county for
governor, but if they did believe it, the
democratic candidates for the county Of
fees would be as thick as dandelions.
On the contrary, there is absolutely no
talk of candidates for either the legis-
lature or county offices. outside of what
is said about Senator Splawn and Sher-
if Grant, and the former is eliminated
if he is banking on the republicans Civ
ing him an easy game.

of steamers reported in the papers to have been chartered to bring provis- ions to Port Arthur, many of which boats fell into the hands of the Japan ese, il is evident that there could not have been very much beyond the ordi nary supply regularly kept in the place. At the time of the Boxer scare the Russians had only 2,000 men in Port Arthur; then, of course, the for tifcations were rot completed. It was from Chifu that the Russians obtained their vegetables, cattle, and the ponies on which the ordinary Cossack is mounted. This source of supplies has now been cut of.
 It was a strange thing that Gins berg. the naval contractor to the Rus sian fleet, should get one of the first shells in his stores on the Bund, and that the Russian bank should have fared similarly This clearly shows how accurate was the information the Japanese had of Port Arthur and how well they used that information in di- recting their fire. Had the mining de partnent of the railway had fair play and proper machinery. their mines at Whafanglien and Mochisan would have proved themselves invaluable during the war. The Russians transport their stores in two-horsed carts with two wheels: and the horsing of these carts constitutes a great difficulty. Doubtless they and the Japanese will in time use the mule of the country for transport purposes. The British Indian govern ment during the Boxer trouble bought a very considerable number of these mules, and found them must useful The Russians also largely used them on their advance from Newchwang to Mukden during the Boxer trouble. It will however, be the feeding and horsing of the field batteries that will give the authorities the most anxiety.
 Of only one thing have We any assur- ance that Port Arthur is well sup piled We have reason to believe that the supply of ammunition for the guns, both big and little, is short, that the food supply Is inadequate for any protracted siege. and that it cannot be replaced easily. but of liquor Port Arthur has plentiful supply. One of the last cargo boats to reach that port just previous to the breaking out of hostilities carried whisky exclusively. As an evidence of this one of the passengers on the boat secured photograph of the cargo after 1t had been unloaded and piled upon the sharfs, or at least of such part of it as bis camera would encompass.

eating almost the same food: so that for much of his supplies he will not have to fall bacl: on his base in Japan. but can collect from the friendly native.
 The system of transporting supplies from Japan is most perfect. All sup plies are done up in packages covered fin mating, of a size that can easily be lifted by two men. There is therefore no wastage, and the difficulty of transit is reduced to a minimum These packages are put on steamers. then transferred to smaller tugs, of which the Japs have plenty and the Russians none, then from the tugs to the small boats, where again the Japanese surpasses the Russian, as he Is born boatman. For this reason the Japs seized the waterway to Tientsin in 1900, whereas the Russians seized the railway; and it is beyond doubt that the Japs will use the waterway from Newchwang to Mukden as a means of transport during this, as well as in the China-Japan war. The Japs. on the other hand having command of the sea, bring their wood from Japan in small bundles, as they did in the time of the Boxer troubles.
 From the shore, on which, owing to their light-draught steamers and small boats. they can land with considerable facility at many points, their supplies are transported to bases in light carts, most adaptable to the country they will have to fight in. These vehicles are in strong contrast to the heavy Russian cart. The weak point in the Japanese cart is that they are set too low, but doubtless this was seen during 1900, and has been remedied. Again, the Russians have no corps of transport-men other than the Cossaek, whereas the Japanese

troops have only to fight, for they bring their own corps of coolies-strong, we'll built men, capable of doing the best of work
 These men were tried by the British generals in Tientsin, but were found to be failures, as with foreigners they were mutinous, net being at all amenable to foreign discipline. There can be no doubt that Japan. in both her supply and transport, is as well found and equipped as it is possible for her to be Japan's arrangements were beyond praise during the Boxer trouble; and doubtless there will be many surprises. such as was the island to the southeast or Port Arthur prepared as a torpedo base under the very eyes of the Russian feet
 Russia has nothing in order. and can depend neither on the railway nor the country for supplies or transport: hence the viceroys wise move to Harbin.
