self, even if he was crazy to do so.
A Washington editor had "hyas'
time the other week and it took gun
in the hands of the Sheriff to make
him quit. Thinking of high paper
rates, delinquent subscribers, and the
letters from Constant Subscriber"
coupled with the wormy apples, soggy
wood and dun-bills, will make, at

pleasantly disposed brain of an editor

An Apache Indian, painted and on the
war-path.
Senator John Mitchell of Oregon,
who ought to be doing time in the
penitentiary of that State, if he is as
guilty as assumed, by citizens of his
own commonwealth, was in Seattle
recently, stopping at the Washington
Hotel. It's the likes of him that can
do the grand, while the poor man of
his State, from reports, could not pro.

simple reason, the land-grabbers" OF
which Mitchell is said to be an ac-

If an editor kept all kinds oi liquors
in his sanctum and gave it away free,
he might, perhaps, secure an item from
some OF the crowd whose tongue might,
after few high-balls" get a wiggle
on. But a print-shop is the last
place the everyday logger will 60.
Therefore the editor or reporter who
cannot visit logging camps every day,
but would gladly print items of news
occurring in such places. must listen
sometimes to his paper being d" roasted
for not publishing camp news by q
half-full h0ok.tender."
Bashful men get into all sorts of
difficulty owing to that disposition.
The other night an Olympia young
fellow who is timid with women,
plucked up courage to try and kiss
his sweetheart at the door, after hav-
ing escorted her home from q party.
But, being bashful, he stumbled and

in the trellis and his feet in the wire
netting, jammed his shoulders be.

the house, and bad to be rescued by

Now, who in the world but bashful
man could have developed all these
woes from single attempt to kiss a
girl-and then not get the kiss after
all.

The rate for letters in European coun-
tries is practically the same as in our
own, but tho rate on merchandise is
much lower, and the Postollicc De-
partments do at a low rate what we
pay the express companies high rate
for doing.
Postal savings banks have been
adopted by about every civilized gov
ernment except our own, and the con-
venience of an absolutely safe form
of Investment for small amounts is
brought within the reach Of all the
people. Every single important i'm
provement in our service since the days
of Franklin has been borrowed from
foreign sources, and in some respects
we continue to lag far behind. Even
in the matter of single rate for let
ters, it was twenty three years before
our country got around to follow Eng
lands lead.
AS stated at the beginning of this
article, the postoffice is the one agency
in which we all know the government.
1t it does not give us the service we
would have, the fault is not with the
rank and file OF postal servants, than
whom the world cannot show better in
intelligence, efficiency, integrity and
discipline. The fault is with the peo.
pie themselves for failing to impress
upon their congressman the fact that
what they want is not the kind of
craftsmanship which looks through a
gimlet hole at the pretty deficit in the
postal revenues, and stays the benefi.
cent work of extension while whiting
at the problem Of saving little money
belonging to people who would be
glad to have it spent. The terrible
deficit OF which we hear so much in
the newspapers amounts to perhaps
five cents per capita for the popula-
tion of the country. The people, to
whom all the money in the treasury
belongs, should make plain to the
Congress which votes away five hun.
dred million dollars each session, that
if one per cent. of their own money
should be used to give the people the
kind OF postal service they desire, and
to which they are entitled, those who
receive the ninety-nine per cent. ought
not to feel too deeply grieved.

Hymns Iou Ought to Know
COME, THOU ALMIGHTY KING.

y" one knows who wrote this popular
church hymn. In the greater number of
books il is accredited to Charles Wesley.
That is because it first appeared in com
pany with some of his rare hymns; but
neither Wesley nor his contemporaries
claim it is his. There are some reasons
Rev. Martin Madin 0126-1190), an
English Methodist clergyman well
known both as vivid orator and an
tnt huslastic musician. He practiced
law several years before being ordained.
Later he was chaplain of the Lock Hos
pital. The hymn, with its tune, Ital-
ian IIymn," has Won for itself 10 un-
certain place in the worship of American
churches, although its use is by no
means so general in other lands.
Come, thou almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing.
Help us to praise;
Father, all glorious,
O'er all victorious,
Come, and reign over us.
Ancient of Days!
Come, thou incarnate Word,
Grid on thy mighty sword;
Our prayer attend
Come, and thy people bless,
And give thy word success;
Spirit of holiness.
On us descend.
Come, holy Comforter!
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour;
Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart.
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power!
To the great One in Three,
The highest praises be,
Hence evermore!
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore.

We are told by the Republicans that

exampled prosperity. 1t might be per-
tinent to ask why the increasing hostil.

of this editorial is to call attention to
another development OF modern bust.
ness, namely, the employment OF so
many girls in store and factory. Go
into any great city or factory town at
morning or at evening, and you will
find an army of girls with dinner bask-
cts in hand trudging to and from work.
Is the country prosperous when the girls
have to become breadwinners at an
early age in order to piece out the fam
lily income. Surely, under favorable
conditions, the head OF tho family
ought to be able to support his wife
and children. Often the work Is of q
kind too severe for women. What is
to be the effect on future generations? ?
Women may displace men in the shop,
but men can not take women's places
in the home. Any system that lessons
woman's ability to discharge the duties
OF wife and mother must in the end
bring q harvest of disasters. Will the
Republicans insist that this forcing of
women into the fields of remunerative
labor is step in the line of progress?
If not what plans have they for the
improvement of present industrial
conditions?

WORKING FOR VNCLE sam

1t is more than forty years since
Gen. Spinner, who has been called
"the father of the employment of
women in the Federal service" found
places for a few women in the Treas
ury department at Washington. He
was then treasurer of the United
States, and there was a great dearth
of eligible employees in consequence
of the drafts made upon the young
men of the country by the civil war.
Gen. Spinner proposed the employ
ment of women in place of men, and
the idea which he started has gone
on almost uninterruptedly since, but
not to the extent that is popularity
supposed.
BY the last government report 1t
appears that there are $4,000 men in
the federal service of the government
