DON'T FAIL TO REGISTER.

The duty of voters to register in
incorporated cities-Olympia, Tum-
water, TeninO and SheltOn-is I'M
perative for voting at the primar-
les, as well as at the general cleo
ton. The voter MUST register if
he expects to vote for the Superior
or Supreme Judges, for the non
political qualification of those can
didates precludes a choice except
at the primaries and all the
tickets will bear simply the
names Of the prevailing candi-
date for each place at the pri-
maries. So REGISTER, and
register NOW.

EXHIBITION OF SUBsERvIENCY.-
Whether it was Taft's want of con-
fdence in himself or of Roosevelt s
audacity in demanding the privilege
that has led to the submission of the
letter of acceptance to the latter for
revision, matters but little. Either
horn of the dilemma indicates Taft S
weakness and liability of his becom-
ing the mere tool Of the man now in
the saddle. 1t is a humiliating spec
tacle to admit that the personnel of
one of the great parties can become
SO subservient to a party leader as to
give him such absolute control of in
dividuality and conscience as to en-
able him to not only dictate policy
at such variance with Republican
principles, but likewise to direct who
his successor shall be.

QUITE a number of the members of
the State Press Association, at it's
meeting at Vancouver, formed a
league to advance the interests of S.
&. Cosgrove, of Pomeroy, as candi-
date for Governor on the Republican
ticket. The committee appointed to
develope sentiment at the primaries
declare that Mr.. CIVIL have the cor
dial support of more than three
fourths of the country weeklies,
which is a larger and more united sup
port than any candidate or all the as
pirants for that Office collectively can
muster.

years ago, had thrown off the rotten
and threadbare garment OF Prohibit
ton. 1t had. for q long time, served
to conceal prescription and intoller
ancc. Beneath its folds were bred
generations of hypocrites and law
breakers, plying in the name OF the
public welfare, the profitable prr-
suits OF smuggling. adulteratOn and
extortion, in nowiSe promoting vir-
tue or reducing crime; the dishonest
politician working the eXcitable or
the mercenary, among the preachers,
to his selfish and unholy schemes.
The old Puritanic idea of church and
State came down from the days of
witch batting, and the old paternal
istic plan of sumptuary legislation,
exposed and extinguished by Jeffer-
son, was invoked to dupe the weak
and credulous and sentimental, while
sanctimonious fanaticism, and rank
political corruption, went hand in
hand, to lord it over the people in
the name of God and Morality
This, he goes on to say, was the
exact condition of things that our
ancestors broke loose from when they
wrote the Declaration of Independ-
ence and framed the Constitution of
anew country. 1t was freedom from
feudalism, land-entail. paternalism,
caste, and for establishing civil and
religious liberty, personal freedom
and home-rule. He holds that every
movement to defeat the objects,
whether through mock-religious agen-
cies or sumptuary laws, under the
pretense of Christianity and virtue,
is device of the devil, masquerad-
ing as apostles of the Almighty, and
is a remnant of the regime that |
burned human beings as witches and
executed beretics, in the name of
Righteousness.

DIR. OsLER SMAsHEs HIS Own RE-
C0RD.-Dr. William Osler, who, while
giving course of lectures at Hop
kins' University, in 1905, was widely
quoted as saying that mans best use
fulness was past at forty and that
most men ought to be chloroformed
at sixty, entered upon his sixty-first
year last week. and is candidate for
the lord rectorship of the University
of Edinburgh. So it must be that
he is one rare exception to his own
rule, or there is no truth in the as
sertion that decadence is so marked
at that age as to render a man USE
less to himself and his fellow-men.
He is by no means the only instance
of continued mental and physical
vigor, as Admiral Robley Evans,
John D. Rockefeller, Henry NJ. Flager,
Mrs. Russell Sage, Mark Twain, An
drew Carnegie, Joseph &. Cannon
Gen. Booth, and hundreds of others in
active life, who have become famous
for exceptional achievements in many
branches of industrial life amply
show. The fact is that years are
by no means an infallible index
OF personal resources. Some people
are as old at 40 as others at 20, and
others appear never to grow old, and
are facetiously classified, probably by
people of the Osler mold, as having
entered upon second childhood from
being able to exhibit a virility and
mental balance strongly resembling
the capabilities and enthusiasm of
youth. The achievements of Mr..
Osler if he obtains the coveted hon.
or, will be an object-lesson to the
world that human judgment is fall
liable and sometimes confounds the
best-laid theories OF the wise men.

Mr. Mohr is the man who built the

quiet keg of beer and that he had
hauled the booze to the place, though
two railroad men paid for it. He said
the woman came to the house drunk
and that all hands had tried in vain
to make her go away. He had then
left himself and and had just return
