THAN TRIAL AND MAILS.
PostOFce Action May BE Too Late
To Be EfectiUc.

Washington, Feb. 12.-After the Cabinet meet
ing to-day Postmaster General Cortelyou made
a statement about the letter from the President
asking whether it feasible to bar from the
mails newspapers printing the disgusting par
ticulars" of the Thaw trial. He said that he
had turned over 10 the Attorney General the
papers of somewhat similar cases, together with
court decisions, with n request that he read
them. Mr. Corteyou viii discuss the matter
later with the Attorney General.
Postoftce Department officials feel that It Is
too late TO do anything that can have a bearing
on the Thaw trial, as by the time the Attorney
General has acted the trial win probably be
nearly over. It is difficult to make any regula-
ton on the subject for future application.
no two cases present exactly the same points.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
The Direct PRIMARY Law IS IN
real DANGER.
But Eleven More Legislative Days In
Which Much Is to be Done. Good
Roads Measures Adopted. lnifia.
tive and Re fendum Passes House.
Local Option filled.

Especial to the HERALD
| OLYMPIA, March 2-rhe direct pri.
mary bill is in real danger. The house
has passed bill, but not the bill the
direct primary league wanted. The sem
ate committee took this house bill and
drafted an entirely new measure. 1t EN-.
bodies all the features the house does
not want. There is no likelihood that
the house will treat the senate bill with
respect, II the senate should pass the bill.
Tue time remaining OF the Legislature is
short. 1t seems probable that the bill
will be lost in the tumble OF the last few
days Of the session.
OF the 797 bills already introduced IN
the Legislature at this session, los have
passed both senate and house. OF these
40 have been signed by the governor and
four more are in his bands awaiting ac-
ton. twenty-five Of the bills passed
have been senate bills and 30 house.
Only IL legislative days remain in which
to con elder these other hundreds Of bins
The legislature was expected to do at
least five things-pass direct primary
bill. congressional districtlng bill, a re-
ciprocal demnrrage bill, enlarge the pow
ere Of the railway commission and make
liberal appropriation for the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition. In addition,
there was a possibility Of adopting
local option measure, the Torrens land
system and an initiative and referendum
law. The exposition appropriation bills
have been passed. 1t Is mooted ques-
ton whether Seattle will find them de.
sirab BILE.
One congressional distributing bill has
passed the house and the senate has
adopted quite different measure. The
matter 10 now in conference.
The direct primary bill stands in al.
most like plight. The house has passed
this bill. The senate committee on cleo
tons and privileges has proposed bill
that bears not the fAintest resemblance
to the bill the house approved.
Good roads advocates, who have been
working for legislation that will hasten
the day when the state is supplied with
great highways maintained in hard and
dry condition, are encouraged with the
passage by the legislature Of two bills in
the interest OF the movement.
The house passed the Ranck initiative
and referendum bill yesterday afternoon
by vote OF 66 to 26. That is representa-
tive Of the proportion Of progressive pub
lie servants in this legislature to the old
line politicians.
The local option bill was killed in the
house.

A GAME OF BLUFF.

The anti-division knockers are making
frantic efforts to dissuade voters from
signing the division petition. All kinds
of bluffs, from threats OF Able law suits
throughout all the courts OF the nation,
to having congress call for troops to put
down the secession OF Grays Harbor
county, are being made. OF course, it is
all bupcombe. The division bill was not
carelessly drawn, nor presented in the
legislature until it had been pronounced
constitutional by the attorney general,
Harold Preston and other eminent at
torneys.
Az soon as the petition is filed and the
proclamation made G,ays Harbor coun'
ty will be in existence. All this BON
bastic talk of the knockers is simply a
desperate effort to prevent the required
number OF voters from signing the BILL
A bootless effort, as the necessary num-
Der OF names are already secured, and
when the petition is filed. such large
majority will be found thereon ae to pre-
cIude all doubt on this part of the count.
II the knockers wish to carry the mat
ter into the courts thev have a perfect
right to do 60, but they must do it at
their own cost. Any attempt to pay this
expense out of county money will be
met by prompt and effective injunction.

CLOVERDALE'S CE.

Students OF municipal ownership will
be interested in letter written by Ever
cit Robson, OF Los Gatos, California,
Mr.. Robson says: knowing you are
interested in municipal ownership,
thought possibly little item of actual
experience on the subject might be worth
mentioning. A year ago Cloverdale pur.
chased and enlarged its water system.
During the year the town erected a new
sewer system throughout, paid for from
receipts from the water works. January
l a report Of the years business was
published, and it shows that after paying
all expenses the town water works have
made net profit of $1,000, beside giving
the people better service than was
given by private corporation. The
residents of Cloverdale are jubilant over
this splendid showing" What Clover
dale has done, other cities Can do, and
the above case only shows what1n hon
est administration OF municipal owner
ship can accomplish.

A CRAFTY GAME.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
has no Illusions on the "ship subsidy or
subyeption scheme" This great bus'-
ness paper describes the measure IN TINS
blunt way: "While some are no doubt
honestly deluded with the idea that
this scheme is for the benefit of the Am
erican merchant marine as desirable
national institution and for the upbuild'
ing Of an advantageous foreign trade to
the profit OF our industries, it is in fact
a scheme for giving combinations OF cap
ltal bonus out OF the public treasury
by which they may profit. but IRON
which our foreign trade will receive no
benefit whatever. Stripped OF disguise
and pretense it is pure graft. and II the
people cannot be made to realize it now,
they will learn it by experience in tlme'
provided the schemers succeed in their
purpose. 1t is to be hoped that the pub
lie which has thus far looked on with
apathy, will be aroused to an apprecia-
ton of what is going on, and that there
is intelligence, integrity, and courage
enough among their representatives to
defea, the crafty and CRAFTY game"

SCHEDULED"
Then the World directs Mr.. Roosevelts
attention to the last report OF Mr.. koose-
yelt's commissioner of navigation. or
example. there is printed on page 10 OF
that report comparison of the prices OF
steel ship plates in the United States
and Great Britain. In October. 1871,
the price in the United States was S24 ia
a ton, as against $SS. SS in Great Britain.
In April, 1901. the American price was
fixed at 1854. With the exception OF
the six months from September. 1904,
to February, 1905. inclusive, this price
has been maintained without change.
The British price during this period has
fallen as low as $26.l5, and except for a
period of three months in 1901 it has
never equalled the American price. Dur
ing most of the time there has been a
difference of from IS to $S ton in favor
of the English ship-builder, and the
Steel Trust has successfully met British
competition at these prices, while paying
the freight from Pittsburg."
