County Sentinel.
The Seattle Times is resorting to its
old game of deception and misrepre-
sentation. In a recent issue it con-
tanned an article purporting to be an
interview from Whitman to the effect
that S. G. Cosgrove was losing ground
in his race for the nomination for gov
ernor and that Henry Mcbride would
carry Whitman county. Doubtless this
interview like great many others Or
iginated in the Office Of the Times. 1t
is doubtful if Mcbride is able to muster
a corporal guard in Whitman county.
Not only is Cosgrove not losing ground
in this county, but he is steadily gain
ing and by the time the primary rolls
around Whitman county will be found
to be almost unanimous for the grand
old man from Garfield county. The

MODERN WAR IS TOO COSTLY
The Immense Cost of Modern War Tends
to Make it Unlikely

With the purpose of finding out
what would be the probable cost and
effect of war under present conditions
the German Kaiser recently appointed
a commission, headed by the famous
military expert, General Blume. The
report recently made, shows that a
European war at this time would cost
$40, 100000, 900 annually and would
result in the United States becoming
the undisputed leader of the World.
If Germany were to fight another
European power, General Blume says,
it would cost the empire $500, 1000
900 year in direct outlay and entail
a loss of 80, 100000 annually in
the paralysis OF commerce. General
Blume declares that owing to the deli
cate adjustment of European politics
the next war will involve at least four
powers and that this estimate OF cost
would apply to each. This financial
drain would not result other wise than
in throwing the world supremacy into
the lap OF the United States.

NEWS FROM THE WEST SIDE
The Tide Still Settling Toward the Farmer
Lawyer Candidate For Governor

There has been little betting up to
date on the fall elections. Manager
King of the Butler Hotel became stake
holder last week for the first bet OF any
size yet recorded. A we'll known
King county politician bet $500 to
$3.50 that Cosgrove would be the re-
publican nominee for governor. The
man who took the field against Cos
grove is also we'll known in local
political circles and one time was an
office holder under Governor Mead.
1t looks as if the meeting of the
State editorial association in Van
couver this month would result in
united movement on the part OF the
country press to show its power in
order that when it makes demands on
the state legislature for needed changes
in the laws the Solons will pay atten-
ton. 1t was thought that the direct
primary law has several Objectionable
features and the legislative committee
of the association will ask the next
legislature to amend it. There is no
doubt but that the editors of the
country papers could get anything in
reason that they asked for if they
would show united force. An object
lesson of their power is all that is
needed to make the politicians Of the
state see that it would be the better
part of wisdom to grant the demands
of the editors.
Things political in Seattle are com
mencing to warm up considerably in
spite of the big effort that is being
made to have the voters of King
county make good on the famous
agreement by supporting Ankeny it is
generally conceded here that Ankeny
will run away behind Jones on the
west side as he will on the east side.
The governorship fight is still con-
sidered to be between Cosgrove, Mead
and Mcbride, with Cosgove showing
the greatest gain. The wonderful
progress he is making since he opened
his headquarters in Seattle is discon-
certing the other camps. Apparently
no one looks for any serious opposition
to the reelection of Lieut-Governor
Coon. Locally bitter fight is being
made on the county ticket, the present
Office holders are getting an almost
daily gruelling from the P-I and Star.
The latter paper by the way, came
out editorially for Cosgrove last week,
making the first daily with a big cir
culation on the west side to pick the
Pomeroy man as its candidate.

Cheap Rates To Spokane Fair

The matter of securing cheaper
transportation rates into Spokane dur
ing Interstate Fair week seems to be
assured. This year the big fair will
be held in Spokane from October S to
10 inclusive, and from the present
indications the people of the north
west will be given and opportunity Of
visiting Spokane and attending the
fair on a rate of one fare for the round
trip, rate which has never before
been offered in the Inland Empire.
The Spokane International, the new
line into Spokane has set the ball
rolling by announcing to the Chamber
Of commerce of Spokane that they
will give rate Of one fare for the
round trip during the week OF the
Interstate Fair, and will take the mat
ter up with the Canadian Pacific Rail
way and try and secure this same rate
from all points in British Columbia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Manager Cosgrove Of the Interstate
Fair Association is being assisted in
his rate campaign by the Chamber of
Commerce and the 100000 Club, and
it is probable that the pace set by the
International will be followed by the
other roads.
In addition to the air ship which
has been contracted for the Spokane
Fair, the management has also ar
ranged for an old fashioned balloon.
There should be as much going on in
the air as on the track when the balloon
and the air ship both get up.
