The FATED NUMBER THIRTEEN. u

The FATED NUMBER THIRTEEN"
AT San Jose, Cal, on the 18th
inst, party of thirteen members of
the Tacoma excursion party were
treated to an experience that gave
them q severe fright if it did not in
flict severe injury. An electric storm
enveloped them for a time while in a
stage-coach, the horses ran away,
along dangerous precipice, while
they were almost blinded by vivid
flashes of lightning and stunned by
the thunder's roar, while trees were
shattered and uprooted. 1t was about
as near tragedy, however, as people
generally come without that culmi-
mating disaster.

ABERDEEN seems to be in a fair way
of discounting Seattle in enterprise,
if reports be true. The other day
we were astounded at the claim that
she was the largest shipping point
for lumber in the world. Now comes
Mr.. w. I. Agnew, lawyer of that
city, who while he resided here pos
sessed a pretty fair reputation for
truthfulness, who says that it is true,
and that the regular payroll aggre-
gates $4,000 per dayl That's the
sort of verbal nuggets that win, how
ever, if they come from the crucible
Of Truth unscathed.

The LOGIC OF EVENTS ILLUSTRATED

THE LOGIC OF EVENTS ILLUSTRATED.
AT Woodburn, Oregon, last week,
considerable feeling was aroused by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany replacing o number of white
employees with Japs. The result was
that about fifty white men called at
the section house and demanded that
the Japs depart, which they did, and
now the company has sworn out
warrants for arrest of the men who
instituted the struggle for a right to
live. IT'S ever thus in the conflict
of capital and labor. The former Sc
lects the cheapest, without regard to
the rights of citizenship or humanity.
A deeper estimate of all the condi-
tions and the results that ultimately
flow from such scrimping policy
would show that it is unwise and un-
profitable. Railroads and all other
public enterprises are at their best
when business relations recognize q
mutual obligation and dependence.

CHINESE ATTEMPT TO BRIBE OFF,
cER.-The Chinese gamblers of Homo
lulu lately fell into trap set by the
Chief of Police of that city, who &C.
cepted q retainer" on a proffered
bride of $1,4OO to secure them i'm
munity from arrest and practically a
monopoly of gambling in that city.
Had he known the fate of Washing
ton legislator, who once tried to ex-
pose bribery by acceptance of $500
for his vote and afterwards sent the
money to the Clerks desk with his
statement of the transaction, he
would probably not have run the
risk. Poor Metcalf was censured
and ostracised the remainder of the
session-and for what? That is not
plain at this day, unless it may have
been that it interfered with methods
that had been tolerated so long as tc
have lost their inherent turpitude?

IDAHO seems inclined to maintain
her reputation for lawlessness. The
trial of Steve Adams developes the
fact that secret oath-bound organi-
cation known as the Jumper Kill
lers' Association" has existed for
years along Marble Creek, whose OBJ
ject it was to institute a reign OF
terror to restrain late settlers from
locating on timber land claimed by
its projectors. They went so far as
to post notices of warning and de.
stroy by dynamite the property Of
those they were trying to intimi.

THE railroads openly confess that
the Government has been paying
them more than fair price for the
mail service, and that q reduction of
ten million dollars does not remove
the admission that the new rate is
still too high. At the present rate
it is more than eight times that
charged by the railroads of the ex-
press companies.

LUMBER at Spokane since the LIST
instant, when the new schedule went
into effect, is almost out of reach of
contemplating builders. Rough lum-
Der runs from $40 to $26, and in fin

commanded from $35 to $64 per thou
sand, has increased seven dollars a
thousand in all grades. The appre.
citation of prices is said to DO due to
the railroad tie-up.

WHAT is intended to be the largest
drydOck in the world is under con-
temptation by the San Francisco
Drydock Co. of that city. 1t will be
built of stone and concrete, large
enough to hold any two battleships
and will cost 81 100000. Its location
will be at Hunters Point. The plan
is for it to be L. $50 feet long. 40 feet
longer than the famous dock at Glas.
gov and 225 feet longer than the
Alexandra dock, in Belfast harbor.

THE Tariff and the Trusts" is
an exceedingly clear and compre-
hensive presentation of the facts and
figures regarding the Mother of
Monopolies," just received from the
Macmillan Company of New York,
compiled and presented by Franklin
Pierce. 1t is good time, preceding
great national campaign, to study
this great factor of organization that
has placed an overwhelming and
notwithstanding gulf between
capital and labor. Facts and figures
are presented that scarcely require q
process of reason to establish results.
All who wish to be able to discuss
the tariff question intelligently should
read this latest and best book on the
subject. 1t is volume of 387 pages
clOth-bound and sells for $3.50.

Let Us Abandon the Colonial System

Senator A. S. Clay, of Georgia,
tells some unpalatable truths regard
ing the system of colonization ex-
plotted by the present Administra-
ton. His suggestion is for a mas
terly retreat, while there is yet time,
instead of cultivating the spirit for
war and grinding the life out of our
citizenship by still further sacrifices
on the battlefield. The best dispo-
sition that can be made of both the
Philippines and the Sandwich Islands
would be to sell them to some friend
ly power, who possesses the form of
government and inclination of her
people to maintain possession by
force of arms.
I think the American public"
said Senator Clay lis getting sick
and tired of the Philippines. They
have been only a source of annoyance
to the country and now they threat
en- to be a menace. One-half of this
talk about war with Japan is based on
the likelihood of a clash of interests
in the Eastern Pacific, due to our
possessions there. This country is
not suited to hold the Philippines,
There is entirely too much ex-
travagance in running the govern
ment, any way. Ours is the most
expensive government in the world.
We will spend upward of 81, 600, OOO,-
600 in the present year. Since l
came to Congress, ten years ago, the
cost of federal management has gone
up by leaps and bounds. The cost of
the postal service has advanced in
that period from s97, 00O, 900 to $780,
100000 The army bill has jumped
from $24, OOO, 900 to 800, 1000, 900, and
the expenses of the navy have dou-
bled.
/. 1t is too much to expect that the
nation can continue to shoulder these
enormous expenses. God has pro-
vided us with prosperity such as no
other nation has ever enjoyed. A
slump will come sooner or later and
we must prepare for it. This is one
of the reasons why l am advocating
getting rid of the Philippines"

A BILL has passed the Legislature
authorizing County Commissioners
to work prisoners on the public
highways. 1t was opposed by some
very sensitive SOlons, on the ground
that it was barbaric in its nature.
If the object of law is to suppress
crime, it materially follows that
the ''barbaric" element is an essen
tial, and the more barbaric the pun
ishment the better it will serve the
object of o deterrent.

The Inevitable Result.

May there not be limit to the
use of Incorporate language by max
ing bad matter worse?
The Seattle Times last week pub
lished remarkable editorial on the
Thompson case in which the Thomp-
son family and the Pierce county
jury are bitterly denounced. Follow
ing are excerpts;
1T was because Will H. Thompson
has been permitted to live in this COM
munity until the present time with q re-
putation of being half-poet and half
lawyer that gained him hearing in
behalf of his wicked offspring in the first
place."
at was the ingenuity of criminal
mind that had the case removed to Ia
coma in the second place."
Is it any wonder that orderly and
law abiding citizens are compelled to feel
that the only safety in King county to-
day against the hand Of the murderer lie
the hand of the vigilante?"
"Maudlin sentiment before a maudlin
juryof Pierce county may free a murderer
from his crime so far rs the law may be
concerned, but as as surely az there be a
God who presides over the destinies Of
human kind, if this murderer Chester
Thompson be bought back and let loose
in Seattle within the near future, any
person will be justified in shooting him
like mad dog"
This is the language of the anar-
chist, justifying defiance of law, but
can it be wholly condemned? Is MUIR
der, by legal quirk, to be condoned
from sympathy aroused by rafting a
family skeleton? Are the people to
be compelled to pay for costly law
suits simply to have the results ma
nipulated by skillful legerdemain and
decided under maudlin sympathy
aroused by carefully prepared stage
effect? Donot such judicial proceed
ings bring the law into contempt and
promote the very evil-doing it is in
tended to prescribe? 1t certainly
seems to have that effect, and estab-
fishes precedent that will serve to
defeat justice. The vitality and es-
sence of the law lies in its certainty
and efficiency.

WELL SAID.-TwO women in this

question OF health. One remarked,
she kept her mind and hands en-

garded as useful exercise; she had
no time to think about bodily all
ments. Number two was of differ
ent cast in her mental and physical
makeup; she felt she had stomach
trouble, neuralgia, catarrh, etc. The
first observed to her unfortunate Sis
ter, You think evil about others;
nobody according to your way of
thinking is actuated by good motives;
you are envious, cherish ill-feeling
towards others, especially regarding
those Of your own sex; consequently
such evil thoughts have q pernicious
effect upon your bodily frame, make
you i'll indeed, while if you will try
to think well of others, cherish good
and pure thoughts instead of enter
tanning those evil mental microbes,
which develop rapidly in diseased
minds, the chances are those distress
ingly bodily complaints will have
nothing to feed upon and will soon
disappear. You will find yourself
restored to good health without the
aid of drugs, and life will no longer
be q burden"

Senator" Ankeny is known as the
" Irreducible Minimum of the u. S.

vacuity: He had prolonged inter-
view with the President for appoint
ment Of q machine man recommend
ed by the ring to the North Yakima
Land Office, in which he told the
President how long and intimately
he had known him, and when the
great dispenser of the spoils consent
ed to appoint him, it turned out that
Ankeny did not even know his name,
and had to telegraph to Croker, his
fugleman, to supply it by wire.

Thompson Case in the Supreme Court

On last Friday, the Supreme Court
room was crowded with ladies and
gentlemen to listen to the arguments
in the case of the State versus Ches-
ter Thompson, whom the jury ac-
quilted on the plea of insanity.
Judge Smell of Pierce county, before
whom the trial was had, refused to
proceed to hear the insanity COM
plant, instituted by a friend of
Thompson, holding that under sec
tion $3.50 Ballinger's Code, he could
at most when the matter came up for
hearing as to the form of judgment
to be entered on the verdict, either
discharge young Thompson, place
him in custody of his friends under a
heavy bond, or commit him to prison.
Then application was made to the
Supreme Court for a writ of manda-
mus to compel the trial court to pro-
coed to hear the amicable complaint,
as termed the attorneys appearing
for the State.
Judge Smell made his return and
answer to the alternative writ, being
represented by Messrs. Macintosh
and Thomas Vance. Will H. Thomp-
son, the father of the boy, argued
that the above section is uncontitu-
tional because it imposed involuntary
servitude upon a person who had
been declared innocent of crime and
in violation of the thirteenth amend
ment to the U. S. Constitution. Mr..
Thompson urged this law was enact
ed in 1884, providing for the impris-
onment of lunatics in the peniten-
tiary, when there were no asylums
in the Territory, and the peniten-
tiary was the only place in which
such persons could have been con-
fined.
MIR. Vance claimed this section g.
$50, though enacted originally in
1854, was carried forward in the
Codes of 1881 and 1891. and specially
re-enacted and adopted by the State
Legislature in 1891, as found in 2
Hills Code wash. sections 1923.
The court took the matter under
advisement; in the meantime ordered
Judge Smell to allow the proceedings
had in his court to remain in statu
quo.
Mr.. Thompson was evidently lay
ing foundation for review in the U.
S. Supreme Court, in the event of an
adverse ruling.

The WOmen's Social and Health
clubs of that Western HUB" Chi
cagO, have made a simultaneous and
combined attack upon Prof. Thomas
and his late work on Sex and So
ciety." They dispute his assertion
that romance can hardly ever survive
in the homogeneous relation. They
declare his assertion to be untrue,
disreputable, dangerous, immoral,
disgraceful and affording an exceed
ingly bad teaching for young people.
To regard marriage simply as a bust
ness arrangement, to be terminated
like any other contract, they assert
would open the door to the wicked
arts of the libertine. Mrs. Truax,
President of the Ravenswood Club,
says: IF Prof. Thomas prefers to
choose wives like ON Indian, he is
hardly civilized" There now!

THE PROTEST Is UNIvERsAL.-Prob-
ably nothing has caused more united,
widespread and determined protest
from the public than the publication
of the testimony of the wife of Thaw,
on trial in New York for murder
of Stanford White. Even Congress
took action to authorize the authori-
ties to deny the mails to such "yel-
low" papers as published the disgust
ing details, but it was after our neigh
bors to the north of us, in Canada,
had prohibited the passage of these
papers over the border. Now we
note that the women of Chat tanooga,
Tenn, have held meeting to protest
against the future publication of like
proceedings.
