And Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and
Count, or no-account, Szecheny, ofHun-
gary, will not be married November 4,
at The Breakers, Newport as first re-
ported. 1t makes patriotic Ameri-
car feel sad to think of the evident
disappointment. Liston to this brief
extract that burdens the wires and
fills the daily press over this nuptial
event: "All this disarrangement of
carefully laid plans is due to the extra
ordinary interest which Hungary takes
in keeping its aristocracy up to the
old-time mark. Count Szecheny, as
scion of that arisotcracy, is held by
his government in most paternal grip,
and it is written that before he takes
a bride everything about her must be
proved to be all right The pedi-
gree il. this case is $1,OOO,O 900 that is
to go with the bride to be, which will
probably satisfy the scruples of the
Hungarian aristocracy. But the event
will not take place until some time in
December that the matter may be in
vestigated. Americans once more
hang their heads in shame !-Colfax

CORRESPONDENCE.

PULLMAN, Wash.-Oct. 23.-Ar-
engagements have just been completed
by the Washington State College Ex-
pertinent Station staff, for the monthly
or twice monthly issuing of press bull
letins, which will go to the greater
part of the farming population of
Washington. This plan has been be-
fore the station for several years, and
now that defnate action has been
found possible, no effort will be
spared to make the bulletins of special
value in dealing with the problems of
grain raising, fruit growing, and the
livestock industries, which are of in
creasing importance in the state of
Washington.
Hundreds of inquiries come to the
state College every week, asking for
information upon almost every subject
that has to do with the industrial pur
suits of the Pacific Northwest. Using
these inquiries as a guide, the staff
will put out the bulletins with the
view of increasing the public interest
in the agricultural and industrial i'm
provement of the Pacific Northwest.
1t is likely that special attention will
be given to diversified farming. The
first bulletin is now being prepared for
the printer.

Many a man who has been proud to
proclaim himself "standpatter' will
be scrambling one of these days to get
on the tariff revision bandwagon. The
standpat policy has never been wise
one in politics or anything else. Per-
lection has never been reached in any,
thing human, and, if tariffs are de-
clared to be imperfect, there is no oc
casion to raise the cry of treachery to
the Republican party. Deity, as one
writer has said, may we'll proclaim
itself. the same yesterday, today and
forever; but the man or party that an
nounces purpose to consider no
change is in "a fair way to be left far
behind in the worlds progress.
There are standpatters in other lines
than politics.. The old farmer who
sent his boy to mill with sack of
corn, placing the corn in one end of
the sack and stone in the other to
balance the load over the horse back,
was standpatter. That's the way
his father did. The dairyman who
keeps his herd of scrub cows because
he has prospered with them is stand
patter, and he thinks he has ample ar
gument to justify his refusal to grade
up to higher standard. The lawyer
who keeps his nose betwene tn. Leaves
of musty. volumes of precedents is a
standpatter, and he looks upon the at
torney who follows reason instead Of
precedent as an enemy of established
government. The preacher who reads
only his Bible and takes everything
literally-the lake of fire, the three
days in the belly of the whale, the
creation of the earth in seven days
is a standpatter and those who differ
from him are heretics. The newspa-
per publisher who prints his paper or
an old hand press is a standpatter, as
also is the merchant who refuses tc
advertise and the miser who keeps his
hoard in tin kettle. The standpatte,
in politics is by no means alone, but
one would think he would not be
proud of his company. -Puyallur
