necessity of earning their bread and
butter by vulgar labor, dom t-cher-

Canada has enacted postal laws
that will keep American papers out
of that English colony to a great ex-
tent. Yankees do not care if they
don't want our newspapers. We al
ways did grimace when handed one
of Canada 80 blue papers," anyway.
So there, now.
Gov. Mead was not invited to Join
the Federal officials in greeting Gen.
KurOki, at Port Townsend. The
Governor should not feel chagrined
at this. He will soon have another
invitation-an invitation to retire
from his official position, rendered to
him by the people of the Evergreen
State.
While Teddy" breaches simple
life where can a man in the world
be found who is leading as "stren-
uous" an existence as he? Why,
he is the boss, the 1T" must be
the whole thing" or else refuse to
play in any yard, but his own.
" Teddy" advocates the simple
life," but leads one that is puzzle.
1t matters not how rich one may
be in this world, nor how poor, for
all are born equal, and, at death, all
must sleep the same sleep. Human
pride, believe to be sinful. The
basis of such pride among us is
wealth, and wealth may, at any day,
take wings. Then pride, broken and
Inundated, leaves the victim a wreck,
stranded ON a barren shore.
If you are Republican, be one; if
a Democrat, be one; if an Independ-
ent, be one; if q Prohibitionist, be
one; if Socialist, be one; but don t
say you are one or the other with
out acting sincerely, advocating and
sticking up" for the party that
represents your ideas of government.
Be what you profess. Then, at
least, you will be entitled to the
campaign cigars when handed around.

An Olympia man, now residing in
the Queen City. who speaks several
languages, such as German, French,
Italian, and Spanish, writes me he is
learning the Seattle language rapidly,
and can now say: " I'll have the
same," as well as those who have
lived in the Queen City, years.. He
finds one fault with it, however, and
it is this: "On Sundays in Seattle,
/ have to use the sign language of
the deaf and dumb"
1t is said clothing doesn' make
the man." I don't know about that.
l have had considerable experience
in this world of sorrow, and l think
l may say, without exaggeration,
that l have seen as much of life
since / have sojourned in this vale of
tears as any one of my years who
now walks the Earth, and the more
l see, the more am convinced that
there is a deal of truth in tho old
saying, Money makes the man, the
want of it, the fellow"
It is announced "Teddy's" secre-
tary is to quit his "big-stick boss,
to become president of the principal
street railway system in Washing
d. C. Mr.. Loeb has been Secretary
to Teddy's" great infant protec-
ton" schemes-such as the Harri-
man $500, 600 escapade-for quite a
length of time, and is well qualified,
seemingly, to see that the poor man
pay double first-class" street car
fare, while the financial magnate'
rides in gold-furnished trailer
free.
Rev. w. 1. Simonds, of the Boy.
lesion Avenue Unitarian church, Oi
Seattle, in a discourse Sunday May
4, said: Religion has separated man
from man and brother from brother.
1t has led to the most bitter antago-
nisms, the most lasting enmities, the
most prolonged and bloody wars.
We live in q kindlier age, in an age
of growing fraternity among men,
but to this day religion is the CHIEF
cause of divisions between neighbors
and neighbors, and so it must ever
be while religion remains q matter
of speculative opinion-in other
words, q profession and creed.
We must look elsewhere than to
traditional religion for some gracious
force to unite men. to bring peace
and brotherhood into the arena oi
race and class antagonisms, and that
force we find in the noble gospel OF
science" It's up to me to stand
treat" to Simonds. What will you
take, Rev. Simonds-''It's the water
lemonade, with a stick in it, or q
cigar?"
