HOW MUCH LONGER.

The Wall Street Journal says: "How
much longer can the tariff question be
sidetracked in Congress? Here is Sec
rotary Root loudly advocating a maxi
mum and minimum tariff. Here is the
president anxious to come to satisfac-
tory tariff agreement with Germany.
which shall give US the benefits Of the
most favored nation in commerce with
that country. Here aleo is the stand
pa.ter determined that nothing shall be
done-not even for justice to the Phil
ippines-which will tend in the least to
disturb the present tariff. Here also are
t he American people face TO face with
the highest cost of living in the world.
Perhaps President Roosevelt will finally
force congress to act on the subject by a
spe cial session and special message"
But does the Journal know where the
president stands on this question? Is
he a standpatter or revisionist? If
IN emory is not at fault, Mr.. Roosevelt
has not selected member uf the cabinet
from the ranks OF tar # revisionists
among the republicans; nor, as we recall
it, are republicans OF the Cummins stripe
conspicuous among the men who are
accepted as the representatives of Mr..
Roosevelt in political circles.

COUNTY DIVISION.

The expected has happened. All con-
versant with the affairs OF Chehalis coun.
ty know that the business Of the Grays
Hsrhor section would not tolerate the
expensive isolation of the county seat
any longer than it could help. The fail
ure to remove the county seat at the No
vember elections left but one method OF
relief-to divide the county.
Notwithstanding the expensive diff
Guilty OF transacting county business, the
HERALD would have opposed division at
this time but for two reasons, namely
The fact that the county was out OF debt,
and had 100000 in the treasury (pulled
from the pockets Of the people unjustifi-
ably) and the bold attempt OF the Mon
tesano ringsters to spend that money on
court house they had said was not
necessary.
The attitude Of Hoquiam on this ques-
ton seems to he the dog in the manager
one. The hardest fight before the leg
islature against division comes from Flo.
GUAM. Just how much Of it is due to
the fight Of Geo. L. Davis against Alex.
Poison, and how much may be attribu-
ted to actual jealousy of small minds,
are matters for col lecture at this time.
The HERvLD is sizing the matter up and
will shortly state the INsIIE OF the Ho-
niam opposition.

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF.

Senator Lodge is qnoted as saying the
Philippine ta,f bill is dead. This is the
first admission from any administration
source that there would be no further
effort to tass this Just and righteous bill.
Senator Hale is tho great obstacle.
There have been few incidents in our
history more discreditable than this.
The Filipinos have only asked fair
chance to trade with ne. We know per-
fectiy we'll that their prosperity and well
fare-nay, their acknowledgements on
their ability to sell their products. Sec
retarv Taft has told us this. The Phil.
ippine government has always urged
lowering OF our taxes on Philippine
trade. The Filipinos themselves have
appealed over and over again 20 our
eense of Justice. The people Of the Unit
ed State s as whole favor the abolition
Of these duties. All who have studied
che stu alton at first hand take this view.
Yet II ale, of Maine, objects, and so moth
ing can be.done. IS
We have taken an exalts stand in re.
gard to the Philippines. Our patriots
have told ne that We ought to keep the
islands, not because it was good for us,
but in the interest of the helpless island
ers. 1t was.onr duty to give them good
govern ment. to develop their industrial
and com ne, ciai life, to make them SELF
support ing, to teach them how to govern
themselves, and to give them the bless.
ing OF American prosperity. To abandon
the islands, would, we are told, he to
abandon helpless people to whom we
stood in the relation of a guardian. We
were going to take up the white mans
burden" We were going to make sac-
rifices for the,Filipinos-never to think
of ompelling them to make sacrifices
for us. There was to be no exploitation.
What fine and beautiful talk of this sort
we have listened to! 1t almost convert.
ed the anti-imperialists.
Well,sthe record is made. We are go.
ing to govern the Philippines in the in
teres. of our tade-and worse than that
in the interest OF the tobacco and sugar
trusts. Not oply that, but with cruel
ty Of which we should not have believed
our government capable, we have i'm
posed an additional tax OF 100 per cent
over and above the high duties already
in force on cheap cottons entering the
islands. This was done so quietly and
secretly, and for such false reasons, that
no one in this country knew anything
about it until Bishop Brent, OF the Phil
lipines, told us about it.. We know all
about it now. and yet no one from the
president down, has made any effort at
reparation.
But the Philippine bill is dead for the
present. Tie trusts have triumphed.
The FilipinosIappeal to us for justice in
vain. The American people want to do
the right, the just, the honorable thing,
but they ind:themsslves helpless. 1t is
not question oi::.what they want, but
of what the tobacco trust and sugar trust
will permit. We are governing the Phil
ippines not for the .Filipinoes, but for
the benefit of,.two greedy American
trusts. -Indianapolis und.) News.

become of general us", as the mater

The sample exhibited is about foot
long, and similar in thickness and
shape to a plug of tobacco. It is

has been subjected to very high

will burn long:r and brighter than

Mr.. Aylmer believes that it is one OF

will utilize the..great amount of fax

LAND HUNGER
Rush Of Settlers to the Northwest
This Year Exceeds All
Records.

Washington, Sept. 30. - Figures
given out by the commissioners of
the general land office today show
that the public lands Of the north
west are being rapidly settled by
homesteaders. During the past year,
1,l34, 1856 acres were homesteaded in
North Dakota; 1892 acres in South
Dakota, and 353,295 in Minnesota.
The records show that the homestead
entries for those three states during
the.last year were..greater than that
of any year since the boom in the
northwest.
The plan of government in opening
up the west under reclamation pro-
jects has almost proven failure, and
the reclamation service is devising a
new..system for the opening of future
lands. The Huntley project of Mon
tana recently--was opened up under
the lottery system. 1t contained 588
farms of forty acres each. More than
5000 people registered for the lot
sery, and yet only. ..121 of successful
persons have filed on their lands.
This leaves 467 farms there still
waiting entry. The reason given for
the failure Of people to file on the
land after they had drawn is that
the cost is too great; that the farms
are too small, and thai. ..homesteaderS
have TO stay too long on the land be-
fore getting title. The government
charges the homesteaders about $40
an acre for the land, payable in ten
annual insta lments. When the land
is finally paid for the government is
to turn the irrigation plant over to
the land owners.
The people have found that they
can-get just as much desirable irri-
gated lands in Montana and other
states for from s20 to $50 an ..acre as
chat for which the government is
charging $40. Besides they are not
required to live on their land and
their acreage is not limited to such
small amount. Officials of the re-
clamation service believe that they
will have to--increase the size Of the
farms and reduce ths price of lands
before they will be .able to get SET
tiers for the various projects they
now have under way in the west.
