NEEDLESSIY EXCITED.

The cambridge Democrat, in not
ing that most of the newspapers of
the state are calling on Counsel jim
Hines to the railroad commission to
resign because he supported the pop
ulist candidate for president while
holding a job given him by the dem
ocratic governor Of Georgia, says:
The thought recurs that per-
haps these papers have some old
booze soaked political hack tied
out who they purpose groom
ing for the job Perish the
thought! and herein lies dan
ger which the next incoming
dynasty had best guard-or the
peoples and the states interests
shall suffer-for their name is
legion, their maws are capaciOus
and their appetites Unsuitable"
Our perturbed contemporary should
calm itself The job Mr.. Hines holds
is a 'sinecure' that will be abolished
by the incoming administration.

A POLITICAL TRAGEDY.
A horrible tragedy was the sho

A horrible tragedy was the shoot
ing to death in pistol duel in
principal street of Nashville, Tenn,
on Monday afternoon, of former
United States Senator Edward w
Carmack. The slayers were Duncan
b. Cooper and his son, Robin Cooper,
the latter firing the fatal shot.
Young Cooper was slightly wounded
by a ball from the pistol of Senator
Carmack.
Senator CarmaCk had been mem
Der of both houses of congress, and
was one of the most brilliant men
who ever served in these bodies He
had many friends alike among dem
ocrats and republicans, who admired
his fearlessness and intellectual at
tainments
The tragedy was the result of bit
ter partisan politics, which has
caused more suffering, more sorrow,
more hatred and more unhappiness
than perhaps any other one thing.
The pity of it that men can't differ
about these things and still be sane,
creatures with due regard
for the rights and opinions of others.

in the shape of an eyaporated drink
of whiskey made into a paste. Eff

The tabloid drink" looks like

drunk 1t is guaranteed to reach the
right spot, and produce the desired
effect either way. To take it dry
one only has to turn the box upside
down, and catch the gelatine as it
drops out If wet drink is desired
the gelatine can be easily dissolved
in little water, and makes a man 5

SEE THE BEAR DANCE!

Gov. Browns Independent Attitude

From the Savannah News
1t is source Of satisfaction to the
friends of Governor-elect Brown that
he is assuming an attitude of entire
independence of political rings and
cliques in the speeches he is making.
The other day, in a speech in one of
the south Georgia cities, he was re-
ported as saying that he had heard it
said that when he became governor
he would be the tool of a ring of poll
ticianS who. it is claimed, was largely
instrumental in bringing about his
election. He said that he wanted it
understood that he belonged to no
set, ring or clique OF politicians, and
that the only guide he would have in
administering the great Office to
which he has been elected would be
the welfare and happiness of the peo-
pie and the best interests of the
state
Those who know Mr.. Brown be-
lieve he is a sincere man. He has
that reputation. He is not only sin
cere, but he has the strength Of
character to do what he believes to
be right, however strongly he may
be urged to administer his office in
the interest of those who may pre-
tend that he is under obligations to
them.
These talks he is having with the
people of the various counties are
going to make him strong with
them. They are finding out the sort
of man he is, and they are salts
fed they can trust their interests to
him They don't expect he will make
a brilliant governor, but they believe
he will be a capable and conscfen-
tious one-that he will not try to
make his office a stepping stone to
another place. Those who were in
clined to question his fitness are
changing their opinion.

SHE RELATION OF THE RACES

The success of the negro depends
rlpon his willingness to work indus
triously and ability to work efficient
ly. In this respect he is in exactly
the same boat as the white man. In
dustry, thrift, intelligence and eff
cheney are the essentials of success
among all people, regardless of race
or color, and the quality of negro cit

efficiency, integrity and industry of
that race. We owe to the negroes
sympathy and encouragement, and

ceasing effort to make themselves
worthy of confidence and help.
There is nothing that would do as

Centralia, July 25.-Eight thou

The dedication address was deliv-

Four hundred visiting Elks are in
attendance representing almost every
lodge in Washington and a number in
Oregon. Half a dozen visiting dele
cations brought bands with them.
The entire business portion of the
city is decorated with purple and
white lights and bunting. At the
principal street intersections large
arches span the streets and are beau
tifully decorated and lighted. The
entire city presents a gay appearance.
The occasion has been made the
biggest festival time Centralia has
ever experienced. Following the
street parade a carnival time was had.

OPPOSE BILLINGS TRANSFER
Lumbermen Petition the Railroads
Against Transfer Points at Meet
inc held in Tacoma Saturday.

Tacoma. July 25.-The Pacific
Coast Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
citation, at it's semi-annual meeting
today, went on record as opposed to
the proposed Billings, Mont, trans
fer, which the Northern Pacific
railroad has offered to establish at
that point. The manufacturers fur
ther went on record as being opposed
to the transfer points altogether, and
made formal request that all such
privileges now existing at other
points be abolished. The following
resolution was adopted on the trans
fer question:
1T has been suggested by the traf-
fic department of the Northern Paci-
fic railway company, that an arrange
ment be made for storage and recon
signment of shingles at Billings,
Mont. From the detrimental effect
to the interest of the shingle manu-
facturers which a similar plan, now
established at the Minnesota trans
fer, operates, the welfare of the lum-
ber and shingle industry is best
served by the entire abolishment of
such privileges. We request the in
terested railway companies, viz: the
Great Northern Railway Company,
the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, and the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad Company, not to
establish at Billings. Mont, storage
and re-consignment facilities; also
to abolish, to as large an extent as is
within their power, all such privil-
eyes which now exist at any point on
their, and connecting, lines"

DECLARATIONS OF MAKING CON.
TRIBUTIONS PUBLIC
Cause knOwing Ones to Smile. The
Business Record of Treasurer
Sheldon Shows He is We'll CalCu-
lated to "rry the Far out of Cor.
pOratiOnS.

There is to be publicity of campaign
contributions and expenses, law or no
law. William Nelson Cromwell, Har-
riman's lawyer has fixed it.
Taft, the candidate, says so and
laughs.
Sherman will say me, too.
Hitchcock looks wise and smiles.
George Rumsey Sheldon declares:
81 have always been in favor of pub
licity."
We know it must be all true, for af-
ter Mr.. Taft had ordered and the COM
mittee had elected Hitchcock for rchair-
man, and Sheldon for treasurer, Mr..
Taft and the committee seemed rather
doubtful how Mr.. Sheldon, the banker
of Wall street, New York, would be
regarded by the voters, so the follow
ing certificate of character and prom
Use of publicity was given out official
| ly: "Mr. Sheldon is selected on the
recommendation of Cornelius N. Bliss.
He is president of the Union League
Club, OF ew York, and was the treas
urer of the republic te committee
during the campaign of Mr.. Hughes
for governor of New York, and rem
dered a complete statement under the
publicity law of that state of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the cam
paign.
'"rhis was one of the reasons that in
duced his selection, as the law of New
York regarding publicity will apply
to his action as treasurer of thd ma
tional committee
What the other "reasons" were
that induced Candidate Taft and the
committee to select Mr., Sheldon as
treasur of the republican national
committee can be judged when we in
spect the list of trusts and corpora
tions OF which, occording to the obi
rectOry of Directors,' he is actively
connected with.
Mr.. Sheldon is director in the fol-
lowing trusts and corporations: Amer
lean Locomotive Co., American Loco
motive Automobile Co., Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, Cincinnati North
ern Railroad Co., Detroit Edison Co.,
Electrical Securities Corporation, La
clede Gaslight Co., Locomotive and

trio Light, Heat & Power Co. of St.

That candidate Taft dotes on publi-
city as a matter of policy, is of course,
natural, that Hitchcock will publish
every evening what he has received
and expended is doubtful, but that
Sheldon will not rest any night during
the campaign until he has given to
the newspapers just how much Rock
efeller, Morgan, Hartman and the
other malefactors of great wealth,
and the trusts and corporation mag
mates have paid, and the amount and
to whom he has distributed the Doodle,
is certain, for does he not say che is,

TAKE SIX STRAIGHT
BLACK CATS DON'T give 81.
WASHES A LOOK IN.
Champions Defeat Seattle in Six
Straight Games in the Series End
ing Yesterday, a Performance that
Took Them out of the Cellar. Good
Bail This Week.

The Black Cats took two more
games from Seattle yesterday, making
six straight from Dugdale's bunch in
this series. This brings the home
team out of the cellar to fourth
place in the per centage column, and
but IL points behind Tacoma. In the
morning game yesterday, Aberdeen
scored 7, while Seattle got two, and
the afternoon, the tally stood Z to 4
On Thursday big Gust Thompson
was there with the goods and shut
out the Seattle team without a run
or a hit. 1t was a magnificent ex.
hibition of baseball all through, but
the element of excitement was absent
and all the interest centered in the
mastery work of the man from Oma.
! ha.
Fridays game made the third
straight for the champions, and was
marked by the superior all around
playing of the Black Cats.
Pernoll, the southpaw, made his
first appearance with the locals on
the home ground, and made good
with the bugs. He had plenty OF
steam and pronounced curves, which
fooled the Siwash batters, and five
of them swung at wide ones.
Features OF the game were the
playing of Moore at second and the
stick work of Fitzgerald. The for
mer accepted eleven chances without
an error, and some of the hits were
difficult ones to handle. Eddie
Householder secured his first hit of
the series and was robbed of a nice
homer over the right-field fence in
the eighth, the ball taking an un-
lucky slant and crossing the fence
about a foot outside of the foul line.
Score, Aberdeen 4, Seattle /.
Saturday was repetition of the
previous performances, and the fourth
scalp of the Siwashes dangled from
the belt of the Cats, and it was easily
obtained.
Aberdeen started off with a rush,
finding Heinrich for two singles and
a double in the first, netting two
scores. They annexed two more in
the fifth by singles by Streib and
Brinker and corking triple by Van
Buren,. The final two were made
through singles by Householder,
Moore and Boettiger, sacrifice by
Fitzgerald and bad throw by Frisll
from the field of Boettiger's single.
Features of the game We're the
sensational fielding of the Black Cats
and the play of Brown at short.
Tomorrow the home team begins
series with Tacoma at Electric
park, and a week of good ball is an
ticipated.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
Calls Two Conventions. One at Seat
tie and the Other at Spokane.

Lest there be undue quibbling with
regard to the meaning of what "reas-
enable local option" is, the Anti-Sa-
loon League is calling two state con-
ventions of all the temperance forces
of the state for the purpose of decid-
ing upon the form of the local option
bill which the people want presented
to the next session of the legislature
These conventions will be held res
pectively in Spokane, August 4th, and
in Seattle on August 5th. The meet
ing at Spokane will be held at the au-
ditorium of the Y. M. c. A.
These meetings are for the purpose
of ascertaining just what the people
of the State of Washington demand in
the way of temperance legislation.
Each good government club, civic
league, law and order society or other
organization looking to the better
ment of moral conditions is invited
to send delegate. Each of the un-
ions of the w. c. T. u, lodges of the
good templars, and each grange IN
the state, is also invited to send del
egate either to the convention at Spo-
kane or Seattle. as may be most con-
venient. In this way it is anticipated
that such bill shall be determined
upon do SHALL best represent the
wishes of those opposed to the liquor
traffic. 1t is not the intention that
the exact drafting of the bill shall
take place at the convention. This
will be left to a committee of those
who have been interested in the
passage of local option bills in the
past and lawyers whose ability can
not be questioned. The conventions,
however. will determine upon the
general features of the bill, such as
the amount of territory to cover In
the unit, whether the precinct, incor-
porated city, or the county, or all
three. There are those who believe
the temperance sentiment of the state
demands a statewide bill, but 1T is
not believed that this representative
gathering will so decide.
