help to nominate were it to take any part in the
present fve-cornered contest before the primaries,
it will take no part, one way or the other which
will be but fair to all concerned

Judge Carey's court commissioner, one of the
editors of the Reveille. in his plea for the reeec
tion of Judge Carey, calls upon the tax payer in
an appeal for aid. Yet the Reveille only pays
taxes on $4OO. Judge Carey has drawn $4,000
year for nearly four years, yet pays personal tax
on $3.50. The Statesman-Index this year brought
in valuation of $1,000 on its entire plant yet in its
action to deprive the Examiner of the county print
ing Editor Veatch on the witness stand swore that
one item alone, the linotype cost $350O, and that
the office was also equipped with three presses,
folder, water motor, full printing equipment, and
$500 stock of paper. 1t would seem that in the
face of an apparent tax lodging proposition an
appeal to the tax payers would be of little avail

The espousal of the Bryan Democratic doctrines
is what made President Roosevelt the most popu-
lar president that ever lived. The doctrines that
Roosevelt fought for were turned down by repub-
lican congress and by the republican national
vention because they are democratic doctrines.
You will find them in the democratic platform upon
which Bryan stands. Think this over.
The Gateway of Meyers Falls asserts that Judge
Carey's decisions have in the MAN, been just and
fair. In the maiL What a reason for reeecting
a man to office! The people demand that all decs-
ions be Just and fair. Justice IN the main is not
to be desired, when out of the main the corpo-
ration wins from the poor man, or the railroad
from the rancher or the politician from the busi-
ness man. Better invent some better excuse for
supporting Judge Carey than that he deals out
justice occasionally.

The campaign will be difficult. 1t is absurd to
talk of a walkover for Taft. He himself makes no
secret of his belief that Bryans chances of elec-
ton are better than they have ever been before.
The republicans will know that they have been
fighting before the battle is over. They can not
bring out their old bogeys. The country is not
going to be frightened. New York Evening Post,
Taft Organ.
How would it do to take the rim off the republi-
can courthouse ring this year? 1t can be found in
the auditors office.
Reduced railroad rates were given to the Taft
notification meeting. None were given to the
Bryan notification ceremony. Looks as though
the railroads do not care to have the people become
acquainted with Bryan.
Governor Mead says that the liquor forces are
fighting his denomination. Even political cam
paign has its humorous elements.
The intense heat of summertime oftentmes
causes dogs to go mad. The Statesman-Index has
had considerable trouble with it's yellow dogs" of
late, which affectation has also spread to its
adjunct the Reveille. 1t might be explained on
the ground of midsummer madness to place
personal friends in office.
The coming campaign will be perhaps the most
exciting contest ever held in this state. Voters
and taxpayers should be accurately informed re-
garding the merits of the contesting parties. The
Washington Democrat is the only political weekly
