Commenting on the announcement of
Gen. John D. Atkinson to be candinate
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor the Yakima Democrat says, while
he is a professional office seeker yet he
would make far more capable governor
than the present mistake IN the guber-
material chair Atkinson has some idea of
economy at least and mind of his own.
The Colfax Gazette is of the opinion that
Mr. Atkinson had the gubernatorial bee
buzzing in his bonnet four years ago, but
took the attorney generals office as COM
promise, and it further adds his record
both as attorney general and state auditor
is good, which will help him along in his
present fight.
''The candidacy of Mr. Atkinson did not
come as surprise" F." says the Willapa Har-
Dor Pilot, as he has been frequently men
toned as a probable candidate, but his
candidacy will add zest to the contest as
there are already four or five other candl-
dates in the field"
The Hartline Standard is of the opinion
that if Mr.. Atkinson is nominated and
elected he will be credit to the state as
he is a man of undoubted integrity. 1t
further adds that he is exceedingly pop
ular all over the state and will make
splendid run.
The most important political announce
ment made recently happened last Sunday,
when the Hon. John D. Atkinson an
nounced his candidacy for governor. Gov
ernor Mead has at last got an opponent
that will set him the hottest pace he ever
dreamed of having. Atkinson can beat

POLITICAL POT-PIE


Next Monday evening the municipal
campaign in this city will close in flame
of glory preparatory to the battle OF bal
lots all day Tuesday. The campaign from
start to finish has been fought with much
bitterness and if tenth Of that each side
has accused the other of being guilty OF
he true then the Pie-maker is of the opin-
ion that neither the Republicans, the Dem
,ocrats nor the City Party candidates should
succeed and there being no Socialist candl-
dates, let the election go by default, but
the Republicans have nominated some eX-
cellent men as have the other parties.
There will be not less than 28, 600 votes
cast next Tuesday and fully 5000 of these
will be cast for the Republican nominees,
with the exception of the head of the
ticket. There is hardly any doubt but
that Calhoun, Carroll, Prosser, Murphy
and Goddard will get all of the Republican
strength. although it is limited that Car
roll will run behind the ticket some votes,
not enough, however, to in any sense en-
danger his election, even though ne runs
behind couple of thousand. Calhoun will
lead the ticket with Prosser close second
and Murphy right up among the bunch
The talk that Goddard will be sacrificed by
the Republicans for Heifner is all bull-con.
Goddard will not run thousand votes be-
hind Murphy and if he got what he merits
he would run ahead of him.
Speaking about the nayoralty contest
after carefully going over the situation the
Pie-maker is of the opinion that Miller
owing. to the great Republican majority in
the city, should win by at least 5000
plurality, but owing to the general feeling
that he will gradually open up the town
should he be elected, he will not Wln II
win at all, by not to exceed 300 votes. The
entire church influence of the city is with
Moore and that is going to cut tremen-
dous swath in the Miller forces Of the
men who supported Trimbe it is not be-
lieved that Miller will get more than
fourth of them. Of the men who sup
ported Russell he will get about half and
none of the men who supported Levy and
but few of those who supported Humph-
ries and that too despite the fact Humph-
ries has made a speech in favor Of Miller's
election. The men who supported Trimble
say they did so in order to have two good
men nominated and not because they IN
tended to desert Moore Now that Trimble
is not candidate they are all the more de-
termined to vote and work for Moore and
the men who talk this way are all black
ribbed Republicans or claim to be,
A strange coincident in the fight for
mayor has come under the observation of
the Pie-maker and it is this: The colored
voters seem almost a unit against Miller
and for Moore. Just what has prompted
the sporting element of the Afro American
voters and the church going element of
the same voters to all favor Moore in pref
erence to Miller the Pie-maker is at loss
for an answer but it is SO, and so decid-
edly so that, the Miller supporters could
not now change the situation do what they
may or might as a counteracter. The At
ro-Amercan voters do not number to ex-
ceed 500 or 600 in the city and under or

very much whether they voted the Repub-
lican the Democratic or the City Party
ticket, but if the vote for Miller and Moore
be as close as it is anticipated it will be,
that vote if solid for Moore, will defeat
Miller.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1908-02-28

Early in the campaign it looked as if
there would be a general stampede to Met
calf, but the indications now are that he
will not get more than 8, 900 or 1900 votes
of all cast. Of course every vote that Met
calf gets weakens Moore that much, and
that is just what has aroused the church
folk to their present activity in the cam
paign, the belief that Metcalf was thrown
in the race to defeat Moore and that too
by the whiskey men.
Unfortunately for Moore the Daily Times
is advocating his election, which means al
most certain defeat for him. No greater
calamity could befall candidate seeking
office in the state of Washington than to
have the Times support him. 1t is gener-
ally believed and admitted by the general
public that, Saw it in the Times, damn
lie," and in this particular instance the
Times convicts itself as it has been damning
Moore and his administration almost every
day since Moore went into office and now
it eats crow as to all it has said in the past
and comes out and supports him for re-
election. On the other hand the Post-In-
telligencer is doing good work for Miller
and if he is elected at all he and his friends
should not overlook the fact that, the P.-l.
did it, although in advocating Miller it is
claimed the P-I. has had to swallow some
very bitter doses.

Of the conservation Of our natural re-
sources, with which this commission
deals, is literally vital for the future
of the nation.
Numerous bills granting water
power rights on navigable streams
have been introduced. None of them
give the government the right to make
reasonable charge for the valuable
privileges so granted, in spite of the
fact that these water-power privileges
are equivalent to many thousands Of
acres of the best coal lands for their
production Of power. Nor is any def
mite time limit set, as should always
be done in such cases. I shall be
obliged hereafter, in accordance with
the policy stated in recent message,
to veto any water-power bill which
does not provide for time limit and
for the right of the president or of
the secretary concerned to fix and col
lect such a charge as he may find to be
just and reasonable in each case.

The law should not affect pending
suits; a short statute of limitations

Moreover, and even more in the inter-
est of labor than Of business combl-
nations, all such suits brought for
causes of action heretofore occurred
should be brought only if the contract

to remember that all of the suits hit
herto brought by the government
under the antitrust law have been in
cases where the combination or con-
tract was in fact unfair, unreason-
able, and against the public interest.
1t is important that we should en-
courage trade agreements between en-
ployer and employee where they are
just and fair. A strike is a clumsy
labor, and we should extend, so far as
possible, the process of Cancellation
and arbitration as a substitute for
strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder,
and coercion, when committed in con-
nection with strikes, should be as
promptly and as sternly repressed as
when committed In any other connec-
should be- recognized to be entirely

istence. The very wealthy individual

Trade Unions RECOGNIZED % years Ago
Twenty-Five years ago, by the act
of June 90, 1886, trade unions were
recognized by law, and the right OF
laboring people to combine for all law
full purposes was formerly recognized
this right including combination fol-
mutual protection and benefits, the
regulation of wages, hours and condi-
tons of labor, and the protection Of
the individual rights of the workmer

ney- general should have the right to
nominate at least one of the receivers;
or else in some other way the inter-
ests of the stockholders should be con-
suited, SO that the management may
not be wholly redelivered to the man
or men the failure of whose policy may
have necessitated the creation of the
receivership. Receivership should be
used, not to operate roads, but as
possible to pay their debts and return
them to the proper owners.
In addition to the reasons I have
already urged on your attention, it has
now become important that there
should be an amendment of the anti
trust law, because Of the uncertainty
as to how this law affects combina-
tons among labor, men and farmers.
If the combination has any tendency
to restrict interstate commerce All
of these combinations, if and while ex-
listing for and engaged in the promo
ton of innocent and proper purposes,
should be recognized as legal. AS
have repeatedly pointed out, this anti
trust law was most unwisely drawn
state. 1t was perhaps inevitable that
in feeling after the right remedy the
first attempts to provide such should
be crue; and it was absolutely i'm
perative that some legislation should
be passed to control, in the interest
of the public, the business use Of
the enormous aggregations Of corpo-
feature of the modern industrial
world. But the present antitrust law,
in It's construction and working, has
exemplifled only too well the kind of
legislation which,, under the guise of
being thorough going, is drawn up in
such sweeping form as to become
either ineffective or else mischievous.
Industrial Combinations Absolutely
Necessary.
In the modern industrial world COM
binations are absolutely necessary:
| they are necessary among business
! men, they are necessar'- among labor
| ing men, they are becoming more and
more necessary among farmers. Some
| of these combinations are among the
| most powerful Of ali instruments for
wrongdoing Others offer the only eff
fective way of meeting actual business
| needs. 1t is miSchieVouS and unWhOle-
| some to keep upon the statute books
unmodif1ed a law like the antitrust
law, which, while in practice only
partially effective against vicious COM
binations, has nevertheless in theory
| been construed SO as sweeping]y to pro-
hbit every combination for the
transaction of modern business Some
real good has resulted from this law.
| But the time has come when it is i'm
perativc to modify it. Such modifica-
ton is urgently needed for the sake
of the business men of the country
for the sake of the wageworkers, and
for the sake of the farmers. The con-
gress can not afford to- leave it on the
statute books in its present shape.
1t has now become uncertain how
far this law NAV involve all labor
organizations and farmers organiza-
lions, as well as all business organiza-
tions, in conflict with the law; or, il
we secure literal compliance with the

the employers, and to seek peaceably
to persuade others to accept their
views, and to strike for the purpose
of peaceably obtaining from employers
satisfactory terms for their labor.

Time Has Come for Tariff Revision.
The time has come when we should
prepare for a revision of the tariff.
This should be, and indeed must be
preceded by careful investigation. II
Is peculiarly the province Of the COM
gress and not of the president, and
house of representatives, to originate
tariff bill and to determinate upon
it's terms and this I fully realize. Yet
it seems to me that before the close
of this session provision should be
made for collecting full material which
will enable the congress elected mex!

into existence. This would necessitate
some action by the congress at its

BY wal of emphasis 70 what we have
reiterated on former occasions, we
quote:
1--WE earnestly hope that the past
has demonstrated the wisdom of our
joint trade agreements and that the
future will be no exception to this
rule. Hence it is to be hoped that the

degree of harmony that should of
right characterize our obligations to
each other. The joint trade agree
ment is business proposition and the
elimination of modern thought and
