This nauseating spectacle of tn e
prostituting of the presidency to the
level of the ward heller
is a great humiliation that has
been put on the nation by a man
who has enjoyed to the utmost the
confidence and esteem of the people
without regard to their political
affiliations. When Theodore
Roosevelt took advantage of his po-
sition and of that confidence and
unsupported charges against one
member of the democratic national
committee and sought to use those
charges as reflection against the
integrity and high purposes of Mr..
Bryan, he hit the toboggan of popu
larity with such force that nothing
will stop his swift and relentless
course down to oblivion. His trans
formation from might and right to
mite and write is complete Here
after he'll rattle around like a dried
up pea in the former she'll of his

ROOSEVELT'S INSINCERITY.

The Republican leaders from
Roosevelt down continue to make
capital out of Hearst's accusation
against Governor Haskell. Do thcv
imagine this 'chicanery is going to
deceive many of the people They
point with pride to the TACT that
Taft refused to enter into an aili-
ance with Foraker even if by not
doing SO he would loss the presi-
Dental nomination. Do they be-
lieve that this incident is going to
blind the people to the fact that the
Republican party is bound hand
and foot to the law defying trusts
A few may be deceived, but not
many, and no one who looks at the
situation dispassionate1y will for
a moment be stampeded by this as
sumption of rectitude on the part of
the Republicans. If the intention
was to distract attention from the
true conditions in the Republican
party it might be well to remind
those who live in glass houses to
pull down the blinds. The thought
full man is likelv to ask, in view of
the virtuous attitdue assumed by
President Roosevelt, candidate
Taft and others, why George B.
Cortelyou, whose connection with
the Republican National campaign
in 1905 was shown up in such I'M
savory light, has been the recipient
of continued favors at the hands of
the administration and now oc-
cupies the position of Secretary of
the Treasury; why Robert F. Ba-
con, one of j. Pierpont Morgan's
partners, was taken out of that
banking house and made Assistant
Secretary of statc-a position he
still occupies; why E1ihu Root, a
man who all his life has been no.
toriously hand in glove with the
vicious trusts and whose home in
New York is residence pr escnted
to him by Boss Tweed for services
rendered in connection with the
startling exposures of the Tweed
regime, retains the post of premier
of the Presidents cabinet; why
william Nelson Cromwell, the at
torney of all the attorneys for the
big interests-the defender of the
life insurance maguates-has a
leading position on the advisory
board in the present Republican
campaign and dictated the appoint
ment OF George B. Sheldon as
treasurer of the Republican National
Committee, and il should not be for

Call for Democratic Clubs

Call for Democratic Clubs
To the young democrats of the third district of
the state of Washington:
Greetings-The Young Mems Democratic Club
of Spokane county issues the following call to the
young democrats throughout the third congresson-
al district:
That whereas the success of the state and
tional democratic ticket depends upon thorough,
organized effort of the party
And whereas the young democrats of Spokane
county, believing it to be necessary for the purpose
of concentrating the efforts of the party, and for
the further purpose of reaching the first voters,
have organized;
Now, therefore, we earnestly urge the young
democrats Of this district to perfect similar organ
izations in their respective countless with the uti
mate purpose of a federation of all the clubs
throughout the district V. T. TUSTIN,

The Washington Democrat weekly publication
issued at Everett for the propagation of democratic
doctrine throughout the state, appeared on March
7. 1t is edited by H. A. and V. H. Porter and is
4-column, 16-page journal of genuine political
worth. The Democrat states that it will not be
the mouthpiece of any clique, syndicate or cor
porate influence, but free from all entangling
alliances it will work for the best interests of the
party, it's representatives and it's principles.
hearty welcome is extended to this valuable addi-
ton to the party's strength
The country is ripe for the application of dem
ocratic principles of government, and all that is
necessary is for the democratic party to convince
the public that it will be truly democratic if in
trusted with power. Let it convince the people
that it will be and we shall have a victory which
will be faithful in blessings to every part of the
country and to every element of our population. =

You can't legislate brains into mans head"

special privilege. That may be the truth, but we
can legislate the other mans hand out of our
pockets. The Commoner.
Much adverse criticism resulted when Roosevelt
ordered the removal of the venerable motto from
the United States coins Now the reason is dis
cernible in his desire to the public trust trans
ferred to Taft.
And the republican state convention is scheduled
to meet in Spokane. The party is very anxious to
please eastern Washington since the democrats
selected Spokane.

FIRE JURY AT WORK
MYSTERY OF PERRY STREET
 BLAZE IS PR0DED.
Absence Of ImpeFsaHt Witness May De- lay Hesring, Whieh Was Ordered By Insuranee Department on
 susSls1eus Reports.

The special Jury summoned to in- vestigate the fire of last Sunday at HI South Perry Street met yesterday morning at the court house with c. L.

It will be several days before this wit ness can be secured, it is thought.
 The fire, which the jury is investi- gating, occurred on last Sunday while the owner of the house. Mrs. Julia A Schull was traveisng from Montgomery to I,ouisviile. ky Mrs. Schull is said to bA in indianapolis at the present time. but whether Hnerubers of the in- vestigating jury have had any com munication with Mrs. Schuil Is mat 1 ter of conjecture.

The blaze was eztinguish- ed. and in going over the house after danger was over. 1t was found that the origin of the fire was from, several candles placed at various points. It was even said that one or two of the carpets of the house were soaked in oil. These facts were deemed sufficient for investigation by asSspeeial jury, which body held its first sessions yes- terday at the Court House.
