SPOKANE, May 2S.-William Black
man, for eight years state labor COM
missioner and for nine years president
of the Washington Federation of La
Dor, is thinking seriously of entering
the race for the democratic nomina ton
for governor. While he is not yet will
ing to confess that he has decided to
enter the race he admitted yesterday
that he was considering the matter
and might decide to do So
Il regret to see that the other can
ddates for the democratic nomination
do not seem to be taking the demo-
cratic candidacy seriously" is the
way Mr.. Blackman puts it. "They APP
pear to look upon the nomination as an
empty honor, on the assumption. ap-
parently, that the republican candi-
date, whoever he may be, will be
elected
Il take a different view Of the case
Taking the last two presidential cleo
tons as a criterion, Washington is re-
publican by about $4,000 votes. But
with Bryan the democratic candidate
for president against Taft, as the re-
publican candidate, l believe that
Washington will be in the doubtful
column On the presidency, and it will
be the candidate and not the party
which will win the governorship.'
While there is as yet some uncer-
tainty regarding some Of them there
are already four candidates in or pros
pectively in the field for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination, and Mr.
Blackman will make the fifth. The
others are John Pattison of Colfax. and
DR. Byrne of Spokane, who have al

Jack Splawn of North Yakima, who

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Secretary

which has come from the west coast Of
Africa TO ask counsel and aid in the
many troubles which have continuous

States of Agrisa.
1t is admitted that Liberia is, from
the standpoint OF nations, in practically
a helpless and hopeless condition. Her
latest tribulat;on is III effect an ulti-
matum from England to maintain a
better government. AlEessh the
United States is virtually rAsponsibie
for the existence of LiAeria, dplo-
matte history shows that this govern
ment has hesitated to stand sponsor
for the little republic before the world.
Just what is to be the outcome of the
present appeal to the United States for
aid is a question upon which officials
will undertake t. throw no light That
there is a feeling of sympathy is APP

such a measure will then be submitted.
 Altogether, therefore 1t looks as if agi- tation in practically all sections Of the state would produce it's effect, and that the final result will be square back down from the proposition that the state is too poor to get away from the lease system all at once.
 owing to the scarcity of time remaining to the general assembly there has been serious talk of a proposition to drop the convict question, letting it go over to an extra session, and using the few days remaining for the transaction of other necessary and important pending busi- ness. There are number of measures nending which the legislature cannot very well neglect, such for instance as a couple of pure election" bills, re- ouiring publication of campaign expenses and prohibiting corporations from mak- ing campaign contributions Governor smith has practically given the general assembly to understand that unless these are enacted he will call an extra session. The "anti-lobbying" bill on which the house and senate have locked hoIns' anu anu on which conference committee VIII have to be appointed, is in practlcally the same category
 There are the bills to amend the state earnishment laws so as to protect cor norations from having their funds tied up on petty and insignincant ciaims. Though extremely important, the chances for these measures are looking rather slim at this time. There are not foxy others in the same class which will die for lack of time. unless the convict question is quickly gotten out of the way.
 Then something has got to be done about the suspension of Railroad Com missioner Joseph M. Brown by Governor Smith, two reports relating 10 which are
 a,., hafore the house waiting considera- t,on. A lively debate is promised as soon as the opponents of Governor Smiths action can succeed in getting this matter up for discussion.

to secure as high price as possipIe for the crude oil. The effort was to introduce an element of greater regu- larity and stability into business that had been subject to extreme fluc- tuations hitherto.
 Mir. Rockefeller identified the origi- nal trust agreement which was placed in his hands by John G. Milburn.
 This important document proved to be an agreement dated April 8, 1878, by the terms of which all the proper ties owned by the Standard Oil Con- pany of Ohio were turned over to three trustees-Myron R. Keith, George r. Chester and George H. Villas.
 Thirty different companies in which that corporation held controlling in- terest were enumerated in the docu- ment, and the names of the stock holders, with their proportion of the shares, were outlined.
 Standard Oil attorneys said that gov ernment lawyers were not aware of the existence of this agreement. In the federal petition to have the so called trust dissolved is an agreement somewhat similar in its nature, but it is dated 1882, and the difference in the dates gives the document intro- duced its importance, the Sherman act having gone into effect in 1SS0

TWO STATES HELD IN
 CATTLE QUARANTINE.
Foot and Mouth Disease Leads
 Government to Act.

Washington, Nov. 20.--Secretary VII son of the department of agriculture has issued orders placing in qunran- tine the entire states of New York and Pennsylvania and forbiddlng the inter state movement of cattle, sheep, swine and goats as a result of the sudden outbreak of foot and mouth disease.
 Seventy-fve of the most skilled vet. erinarians fin the service of the depart. ment have been rushed into the tive states for immediate and thorough in. vestigation of the origin and extent of the disease.
 Int stockyards at East Buffalo were ordered closed pending general clean ing up, and the quarantine against the state was deemed imperative for the protection of adjacent states.
 The outbreak of the disease in Penn- sylvania seems of grave nature. It's first appearance was about week ago in the counties of Columbia, Montour. Northumberland and Union, and on Nov. F Secretary Wilson placed rigid quarantine over these counties. Dr. Leonard Pearson, state veterina- rian of Pennsylvania, worked with force of department assistants to pre- vent spread of the disease, but they were unable to cope with the situation.
 No one Is prepared to say how long the quarantine will last. In the case of Boston two years ago the quaran- tine lasted several months.
 Cattle will not be allowed to cross any public highway, and the keeping of them in open pastures and lots will be prohibited.

JoT1N b, ItoN IN trust had received secret rebates from the railroads. especially from the Penn sylyania.
 This is regarded as most impor- tant admission, as the charge of secret rebating forms the backbone of the governments case against Standard Oil.
 Mir. Rockefeller pleaded that the Standard OH was at first the victim of scheming rivals ill the oil business and thus suffered from the rebate sys- tenn as initiated by others. notably the Empire Transportation company.
 He related how interests allied with the Pennsylvania railroad got rebates over the Pennsylvania road to the dis advantage of the Standard Oil inter- ests.
 The fight terminated in the Standard Oil acquiring the Empire lines refiner- les and pipe lines and the Pennsylva- mia forming car trust to take over the Empires cars, Standard Oil pur- chasing the car trust certificates.
 Mir. Rockefeller described the condi- tions that caused the Standard oil to acquire pipe lines and told of the trust agreement of 1879. under which the pipe lines were held. He said:
 Step by step we kept building tanks until we had built $1.000,000 of tank age. Then when the great Aux of oil came over our pipe Hines we could take care of it.
 At the conclusion of the railroad rate war the railroads were guaran- teed certain minimum shipment year and agreed to give a 10 per cent rebate.
 ''0il traffic was allotted among the railroads on percentage basis purely to avoid a ruinous rate war"
 Concerning the so called trust agreement" of the Standard Oil com pany made in 1872. Mir. Rockefeller said:

Linonine is a blood food--the most helpful thing in all medicine for you. More than one hundred thousand dollars have been expended in mak- ing this Flaxseed Emulsion the most perfect food medicine in the world.
 J4inonine Is not secret remedy the formula is on every bottle. It is palatable emulsion--sweet as cream-made of the oil compressed cold from the finest, selected Flax Seeds and imported from Bombay. Flax Seed grown elsewhere Is not good enough for Linonine.
 This Flax Seed oil made to this special manner is combined with other healing and bodybuilding ele- ments and by a series of intricate, scientific processes, requiring 12O hours, is emulsified into its delicious cream form. Children and adults alike speak of Linonine as being sweet as cream" Physicians have prescribed Linonine for years.
