I'VE Were Only Teasing You

pllmplnn.
1t is TO be hoped that Editor Bell of
the Tacoma Ncr Neuid, is not voicing
the true sentiment of the people of that
city when he saws: "The Boosters will
90 over to Olympia August 9 and try to
pound some sense into the heads of the
anti-Tacoma push. '-Nc,c UcrdM
1t is quite evident that Editor
Bell" has had his clapper pulled by
the Boosters, who are now setting up
the pins for results. It will be OBJ
served, however, that the apology is in
the head" which is frequently at
variance with the heart.

In the Right Direction.

There Is at present systematic
.robing of the methods by which spec
ulitors have been enabled to profit
from the information gathered at so
much expense to the government by
its experts. That there have been
leaks 10y which stocks OF all sorts have
been manipulated, was shown by the
discovery OF systematic cooking"
Of the reports OF extensive crops, such
as cotton and wheat, and it is now
known that the land bureau has
been peIsistentlv worked, aside from
the fraudulent entries now under the
prosecutors microscope, by advance
knowledge OF intent to market valu-
able tracts OF public land, location of
timber and mineral tracts, etc, before
the government reports had been sub
mitted to the public, or even in some
been placed on file ut Washington.
+ There seems to be at present an
earnest endeavor to stop these leaks,
especially OF the kind which give,
through tho big newspapers and mag
a1ines interesting and profitable in
formation for which they are amply
able, and doubtless DO, pay large
price. Quite a number of magazine
articles have lately appeared, written
i by the government scientists who have
drawn ample salaries for the work
from the government. This is, OF
course, glaringly unjust, and the ap-
pearance seems to be of determined
effort to stop it. All will see in due
time, whether it will be more effective
than suppression OF the beef trust or of
railroad rebates, which seem to have
fallen into innocuous desuetude, or
something like it.
THE RIGHT KIND OF AN INvEsT0R.-
A new style of promoter, who would
be quite popular, if more common, has
selected Aberdeen as his field of oper-
atoms and already erected extensive
buildings, of peculiar form, for some
kind of mandatory that is not yet
made public. The protector and his
two sons secured a site on the south
side of the Chehalis river, paid for it
without asking a bonus OF any kind,
paid for the lumber and labor involved
in construction, installed splendid ma
chinery that is unfamiliar to all, and
which seem rs well adapted for turn
ing out tubular boilers rs soft soap.
He has always listened patiently to
suggestions rs to its probable use, and
cheerlully acquiesced in any opinion
that might DO expressed as to it's util-
ity. His outlay, so far, has been up
wards of $4,000, and the wiseacres are
all agog over the mystery, and, indeed,
somewhat chagrined that they have
not been taken into con fdence and
asked for some form of subsidy, which
has hitherto been the custom of devel-
opers of local enterprise. The secret
cannot be much longer maintained
however, unless the process be con-
Quoted with closed doors. Alexander
came from Helena, Mont, and it is
thought that, as he was chief chemist
OF the Amalgamated Copper Co., he
has some process for converting the
by-products of our forests into some
merchantablo commodity.

THE Boosters visit reminds one OF
the stanza in an old song, which runs

With twenty thousand men,

And ue'cr went mp again
There was nothing to show that the
hill was reduced in any perceptible
degree 10y the assault.

Frenz;ed House Painting

\ correspondent OF the Yakima Hr.
att has something to say on topic
that should be vigorously handled by
public sentiment everywhere, and that
IL the iucOngruity sometimes shown
in mixing colors, for house painting.
He says in part:
Il see there is good deal of talk about
"ncruna--inG y"ur local architects. hope
N.u Viii not let any of them get away.
'""d knows You need them. You have
cot som" III the rottrnest dwelling houses

tied and others that ought to he issued
only on an architects prescription. OR
els" tn" people that want To live in pink
houses with green Ncranlas and crimson
roofs ought Ia hc hcrtlcd together on one
street"
The shape OF many cheap dwelling
houses make them veritable freaks, but
that may not be bad as the colors they
are painted, such as deep red with
black trimmings; terra Gotta or
buff, with green stripes; dark brown
with white cornice and castings, etc,
+ at in6Aitum.
Then the complaccnt spirit OF econ
omy which impels dealer to allow a
foreign corporation to come in and
use broadside on q public street from
twenty to eighty feet long with glaring
letters, probably ten feet high, to adj
vertise some brand of cheap cigar, for
the mere compensation OF a narrow
strip above it informing the public
that there is firm doing business
within, ostensibly Of corresponding
small proportions. It is in bad taste,
to say the least. Then these artists of
the paint-brush beg the privilege and
climb to the roof to inform the public
that Owls sell for o nickel while their
herald roosts on the roof-tree. All
this looks very cheap; is an ofrense
against prOpriety, and a humilating
spectacle of the adoption of at least
one peculiar method OF filing the cor
ners off OF pennies.
These vandals from abroad seldom
if ever pay anything for the privilege
OF frescoing these loud signs that soon
become an eyesore by the obtrusivt
persistency in shouting the same old

1t is a remarkable fact that it re.

to obtain the privilege of carrying q
permanent sign. that overreaches all
others, at the bare expense Of painting
it. in the smaller cities and towns
No such concession would be made to

provincial in its nature, and with the
solid colors for dwellings, should be
relegated to obscurity.
