table this week. The Searchlight
states in it's salutatory that it will be
devoted to the interests of good gov

The history of the capitol commits
sion ought to teach the people that the
necessity of taking immediate and de-
cisive action against the dominant
political ring in this state is impera-
tive. This corrupt gang of unprinci-
led political jugglers is cancerous
growth which is sapping the lifeblood
of this fair state, a foul blot upon her
political record. Our government is
not of the people nor by the people,
1t is for the ''gang' by the "gang'
and it's hirelings Let us review the
history of the capitol commission. In
the first place we did not and do not
need new capitol. The old building
is ample and has recently cost the
state large sum for repairs. The
sale of capitol lands under the law
forced through last winter, in spite of
the protest of people, is utter folly.
Land is going up in price and the
state will lose the margin of increase
in valuation. But the law passed and
a commission was created. So openly
defiant of legal provisions have they
been and 80 manifestly unjust and
autocratic their modes Of procedure
that the people have at last been com
PEELED to use supreme court injunc-
tion to protect their rights. The cap.
itol law is a graft on the public funds
for the benefit of the gang The people
should awaken and place their heel
upon this serpent's head and crush
out It's life.

FRIDAY :: :: SEPTEMBER %
TEN YEARS OF RUINOUs WASTE.

A curious thing about the peace of
Portsmouth is that it puts Japan back
almost precisely where the peace of
Shimonoeski pnt her ten years ago.
That is to say after the war with
China she got almost exactly what
this peace has given her. The only
difference was the want of the English
alliance to protect it, says the Mime
apolis Tribune.
Had Great Britain stood behind ia
pan in 1895, as she stands behind her
now, Germany, Russia and France
could not have torn up the treaty of
Shimoneseki. Japan would have re-
manned in Manchuria and Korea as she
remains now. The Russians would
have had to carry on their aggression,
if at all, against an enemy in posses
sion, supported by the greatest naval
power in the world.
There would have been no enforced
treaty with China for the lease of Port
Arthur and Dalny. Russia would not
have had the opportunity to spend
hundreds of millions of dollars on for
tiications and public works that are
now knocked to pieces or lost to the
japanese. The Japanese, safeguarded
by Great Britain, might have saved a
large part of their military and a val
expenses for the preparation of the war
Just closed The war itself might
have been avoided with its awful sac
rifice of life and lavish waste of
money.
There would have been some sort of
amicable arrangement between Japan
and Russia by which the latter had
commercial access to the Pacific, and
the former had opportunity for com
mercial expansion in Manchuria and
Korea. That is almost exactly the
present situation. After ten years of
painful sacrifice and costly waste,
which has brought Russia to the
verge OF revolution and Japan to the
verge of financial exhaustion, the two
nations stand in the East just where
they would have stood ten years ago
had England played the stout and pre-
scient part she is playing now.
All the money and all the labor
wasted in the war and its preparation
might have been spent in peaceful in.
dustry and expansion of commerce.
There would have been no German pi
racy at Kiao Chau. The Boxer trouble
would have been avoided China
would have been ten years farther ad-
vanced on the path OF civilization
where the good wishes of the whole
commercial world attend her, because
its interests are the same as hers.
