OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING. JAN y 1909

rAIi the people were IL i rea..., rpr .:

must lr tried out on Democratic lines.
This dill not prevent him from cham
pinning the initiative and referendum
programme. Not until the middle Of
November did he definitely announce
his Willingness again 10 accept tho
nomination. No opposition appeared.
At least one course of legislation
was grist To the Bryan mill. While
the uycrshadowing bulk of federal
power was fumhling over IA rate bill
IN l:HG and the rcorcaniZed interstate
commerce commission In 1907 was
struggling with the vast problem Of
keeping tab on the railroad manage
mcnts the idea that the humble state
governments could impose lower rates
by Legislative enactment took root and
made II remarkable growth. Missouri
Joined the procession by March. and
the courts arranged with the railroad
men I" give the two cent rate Il trial
for ninety days. after which opinions
still differed. Other states 10 pass rate
bills were Pennsylvania and Michigan
In April and New York. Illinois and
Minnesota In May. But the New York
bill never became Il law owing to the
veto Of Governor Hughes on the
ground of being not carefully weigh
ed. In all the states where these laws
were passed litigation against them
has been begun by the railroads affect
ed
The drift toward public ownership
took the shape of state commissions
with new powers and was felt In the
elections of Busse In Chicago, johnson
In Cleveland and In the fifty year trac-
tion transfer ordinance In Philadel-
phia.
The American people arc SOLDERING
up.' This expression applies to one
Of the most significant political move
ments in which the conscience vote
appears. When the returns Of the No
vcmber elections were in. no one result
attracted more general attention than
the fact that the wave OF "dryness"
which had been sweeping over the
south had made itself felt in Della
ware. Kentucky and Illinois and was
gathering impetus sufficient to carry 1t
far into the north and west. Georgia
has gone into the strict prohibition
column under law In effect on New
Years day, and the new state Of Okla
hOma came into the Union with a
prOhibitOry clause In that radical con-
stitution of hers. making five prOhibi-
ton states. But many others are vir-
tually so on local option lines, the dry
sections Increasing until 1t is now es-
timated that half the population Of the
nation are living in communities free
from the public saloon. Other features
Of the November elections were the
capture Of Salt Lake City from the
Mormons. the election Of DIR. Taylor as
the reform mayor Of San Francisco
over the powers Of graft, the Republic
Nh sweep Of Kentucky by 14,OOO Dem
Ocratic retention Of Rhode Island and
the cutting down Of the Republican
lead In New Jersey and the defeat Of
the Hearst Republican fusion by Tam

victory Of johnson in Cleveland, al

Faulty Financierins
Halts Prosperity's Chariot.

Opinions differ about the causes of
the money panic and industrial de-
preston Of 1907, but no one disputes
the fact. There was breakdown In
the existing system Of finance. 1t hap
pened right after the attempted Heinze
copper corner, OCT. 1G, when the ex-
posure Of stock gambling bankers gave
credit q shock that 1t hasn't got over
yet. Before that time the volume of
business had been up to the prosperity
level. although there had been q fear-
full shrinkage OF stock "values"-mOSt-
ly water-and several gamblers panics
had disturbed Wall street. Morgan,
Rockefeller and Uncle Sam came to
the rescue Of the big banks with cash.
Gold was imported to stop the gap
after the KnickerbOcker Trust COM
pany had gone under. Clearing house
certificates and labor checks were used
everywhere, and banks suspended cash
payments.
Railroads and all the big industries
curtailed. Thousands were thrown
out Of work. Extensive strikes wero
those Of the San Francisco iron and
street car men, New York dockmen,
Minnesota miners. commercial tclegra-
piers. Arbitration averted western
railroad general strike. The Manufac-
turers' association voted 100000 fer
three successive years with which to
oppose the closed shop, and the Fed
eration Of Labor took up the gage Of
battle. Atlantic ocean lines engaged in
q rate war. Marconi began transat-
lantic wireless service OCT. II. The
new Cunarder Lusitania made record
voyage Of days 20 hours. OCT II.

The Tired Woman.

For the guidance of the tired
woman there are six rules:
Lie in bed in the morning until you
wake up of your own accord.
Put on loose clothing, and, if pos.
sible. change it completely in the
middle of the day.
Don't sit bolt upright if you can
help it. Select chairs with restful
backs, and try to favor yourself a lit
tie.
Coddle your nerves, also; don't
listen to narrowing stories and don I
allow yourself to become disturbed
Above all things, don't worry.
Try to rest your eyesight. and
don't read before breakfast no. di.
rectly after a meal.
If you are going out in the after.
noon and have a busy day before you
try the Queen Alexander diet of five
small meals Il day. Take glass OF
milk and a biscuit at IL O'Clock and
another at I. This will not interfere
with your regular meals, and serve
as pick-me-up.

The Administrators
Notable Executive Acts.

After considerable hesitation and the
tentative acceptance Of the lowest bid,
made by W. J. Oliver, for the Panama
canal contract the president finally de-
cided last March to keep the whole un-
dertaking In government hands and
appointed Major GOethals OF the army
engineer corps to head the canal COM
mission and take entire charge, both
ShOnts and Stevens having resigned.
The president checked the California
legislature In its anti-Japanese course
by promising to bring about the exclu-
sion Of Jap labOrers by diplomatic
means and by. congressional action.
Secretary Metcalf startled the coun-
try JULY by declaring that the en-
tire Atlantic feet Of warships would
make the unprecedented mobilization
In Pacific waters, a statement which
was backed by the president and which
has now been borne out by the fact
Of the sailing Of the great armada un-
der the command Of Admiral Evans
from Norfolk Dec. 18.
In March the president gave official
impetus to the river deepening move
ment by appointing a waterways COM
mission. headed by Burton OF Ohio,
and later in November made his great
popular journey down the Mississippi
with dozen state governors to attend
the waterways convention at Memphis
A general shakeup In the Roosevelt
cabinet occurred in March, when Post
master General Cortelyou was trans
ferred to the treasury portfolio upon
the retirement Of Secretary Shaw,
George Won L. Meyer succeeding Cor
telyou as postmaster general. The in
terior department vacancy created by
the retirement Of Hitchcock was filed
by advancing Commissioner Of Cor.

Giving up the idea Of joint state
hood. the president signed NOV. 10

ministration assumed Office under the

The closing session of the Fifty
ninth congress was remarkable chiefly
for the number Of things which 1t did
not do or at least which one branch
did for the other to undo. The more
important bills which became laws
were for the trainmen's sixteen hour

for the exclusion Of japanese laborers.

TEN MILES GOOD ROADS.

The road work by the county, on Dali
las road leading from the city limits
and connecting at Kinks Chapel, under
the supervision of Mr.. Charley Man
ming, is about completed, graded and
macadamized, making about four miles
of the best roads in the country. All
the roads leading from Marietta, for a
few miles each, have been graded and
macadamized by the county, and also
one mile and half leading from Ac-
worth to Mars Hill. This makes about
ten miles of first-class roads done
under the administration of Judge John
Awtrey, at a cost of about 50, 800 per
mile. BUTT is money well spent, and
where teams formerly stalled in the
mud and would have to stop and take a
fresh start to pull out, they now pull
heavy loads with ease, and no stoppage
or obstacles or strain on the wagons or
teams. The farmers who travel these
roads say that they have done got their
moneys worth, and feel fully compen-
stated

CORRUPTION FUND.

From ali that can be learned, the Re-
publican party is gathering large cor
ruption fund to defeat Bryan They
are receiving contributions from corro-
rations and trusts and millionaIres, and
by raising a couple of .million dollars
they hope to turn it loose about ten
days before the election and on the day
of election among the unemployed
workmen and floating vote, and thus
turn the tide away from Bryan and ac-
complish his defeat. Doodle" ia the
weapon to defeat the popular will and
choice, and entrench in power the cor
rupt Republican party. The Standard
OIL Company will dish up thousands OF
dollars to prevent BrYan's election.
Thus this gigantic corporation and mo-
nopoly is assuming proportions to die.
tate who shall rule, and is becoming a
greater power than the government.
Give Bryan fair chance, free from
the money expenditure by his enemies
and he will be overwhelmingly elected
