Hearst. creator of the independence party and owner of string of newspapers. are in- volved in trouble growing out of the allegations made by the newspaper owner to the effect that Senator Fora ker is tool of the Standard Oil Company.

MAY CLEAR THE AIR

The termination of the senatorial fight in Washington may permit the gradual expulsion of bad smell from the air SO that people can safely withdraw their fingers from their noses in that state. The stuff ped dI"d by the newspapers on both sides, particularly in Seattle and Tacoma, was ticrccly sutfocating to the nos trils.
 Then Golfers Weekly. which never bothcrs about facts, butted in with m attack on Ankcny which contained q good deal Oftruth but an unnecessary quantity Of falschood. The writer, C. r. Connolly, who is striving to achieve notoriety as a muck k-raker, after the manner of that breed seems not to have informed himself except in a general way. An example of his ac- curacy is shown by the statement that the Washington legislature of ls9s was democratic. In reality 1t was tw 0 to one republican.
 The Ankcny press was just as reck. less. The Washington correspondent of the Seattle Times wired to that pa per that Congressman Jones had drawn $7500 annually as salary for ten years and the Times repeated the statement editorially, This tends to prove that Jones is an extra smart man in some ways. Other congress- men have been drawing only 5000 a year salary and that is all they will draw until March 4, 1913, when the increase to S75OO will go into effect.

CHOLERA VICTIMS
 FILL DEAD HOUSES
Russia's Capital Is Rayaged By Most Deadly Epidemic
 In Many Years.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 22-St. Peters, burg's dead houses are filled with the bodies of cholera victims and the deaths are SO rapid that it Is impos- sible for the burial squads to keep pace with the dead wagons. The cpl demic Is worse than was that of 1893 and Is spreading with terrible rapidity.
 The inhabitants have by fear of the cholera been driven to a state border ing upon frenzy and there is such danger of an uprising that the govern ment has threatened to place the city under martial law. The scho ol buildings have been converted into hospitals and are filled as rapidly as the necessary changes can be made.
 Satisfied that the epidemic is to be of long duration and that the most heroic measures are necessary if 1t is to be suppressed at all, tho council has voted $2b0, ,000 to be used to pro- vide more hospital space and for oth- CT purposes in connection with the epidemic.

MUST NEED THE MONEY

Seattle must need the money when it continues to charge Alaska ship ments double the wharfage rate i'm posed upon consignments to the Orient and several times the rate made in San Francisco. In fact wharfage charges in Seattle are higher than at any other port in the states. It is the hold-up of Alaska. ;. however, in which the territory is interested.
 It is time that the Seattle chamber of commerce or some other influence of weight in the Spirit city, should try to cut down this imposition upon Alaska. It might help some in arous- ing interest in the Seattle exposition which bears the name of Alaska. The wharfage hold-up Is so we'll known that the Post-Intelligencer recently printed an editorial on the subject, calling attention to the ex-
 rbitant charges and the fact that the Nucatan and other large vessels had gone to San Francisco. to loadsfor Nome because they could get fairer deal there than in Seattle.
 The day has gone by when Seattle can afford to permit any highhinding methods in it's Alaska commerce. Seattle is the gateway to Alaska and probably will remain so to the end of time, but more or less business will always be done with Alaska by other cities. This business will be more or less according to the commercial methods prevailing in Seattle.
 In the early days of gold excite mcnt in the north Seattle was over run by commercial pirates who scarcely attempted concealment of their policy of robbery. Many of these have dropped out or reformed. The leading wholesale houses of Seat tlr are as fair to Alaska as to any other customers, but the wharfage hnld-up continues and perhaps will until it is reformed by the business sentiment of the town.
