MIR. BRYAN,s ECONOMY

Economy Is a good cry, but to be
effective It must be Illustrated, so to
say. Particulars as to promised re-
trenchments must be given.
This is the difficulty with Mr..
Bryan's latest campaign deliverance.
1t is not sufficiently specific. Appro-
priations have grown. But so has
the country. The army and the navy
are costing more than ever before.
But they are doing more work than
lever before Would Mr.. Bryan hat
the country's growth? Would he re-
duce the army to the old skeleton
figure, and stop al additions to the
navy?
Let us see how that sort of re-
trenchment would work with the
Bryan policies in force.
The peerless leader would have us
haul down the flag Immediately in
the Philippines, turn the country
over to the natives, and warn the
loutside world 10 keep hands of as 10
the native control. But what would
such a warning be worth in the face
of the continued growth of the naval
lpower of other nations and the decay
of our own? What power would heed
1T? We should in issuing II simply
lmake ourselves a laughing stock.
Then suppose we should brandlsl
la sword in the face of the orient
Japan in particular, on the genera
proposition of Asiatic immigration

woke II. II we had cut of naval in
lcrease and put that service on shor
commons. what would inevitably b,
!; the result? War, with this govern
! menf unprepared. and European
lsympathy scant because of oui
cheese-paring policy toward our ma
|, tional defense. We should occupy
, the ridiculous attitude of having
made a bluff without the means Of
supporting it.
Il As TO other things, Mr. Bryan
should know, and does know. tha
There has been as much Democratic
as Republican support for pensions
for improving rivers and harbors. TO
public buildings, for extending rura
free delivery, and all such matters
When what is called the pork bar

as Republican arms are thrust in

UPHOLDS THE
CUNN LAW
Commercial Club of Tacoma Favors
Exemption of Mortgages and
Bonds from Taxation.

Tacoma, May 11.-At a meeting of
the board of trustees of the CONNER
cial club last night, this question was
thoroughly discussed and the con-
clusion was reached that it would be
injurious to the state if the opinion
of the attorney general that the Gum
law was unconstitutional be upheld
and the following resolution was
adopted:
Be it resolved by the board of
trustees of Tacoma Commercial club
that we heartily endorse and ap-
prove the law of 1907 which eX-
empts from taxation mortgages,
money, warrants, bonds and munich
pal securities, it having proven al
ready to be great boon to the young
state of Washington in bringing
from other states and foreign coun-
tries millions of dollars for invest
ment in these local securities, by
which factories have been estab-
lished and many new lines of indus
try have been opened up, but for
which such development would have
been impossible, and said law has al
so created a local market heretofore

progress in our municipal affairs pos
sible, and we deplore any attempt to
overthrow such law, as we believe it
would at once destroy such market,
stifie development and tend to reduce
everything to a cash basis, which
would mean disaster. And be IL fur
ther
Resolved, That we request the
county assessor Of Pierce county
treat said law as valid and in full
force until overthrown by the su-
preme court of the state and until all
other county assessors of the state of

CITY CLERK
is PUZZLED
Will Some Kind Person Please Solve
the Riddle Below?

Is man who would be qualified
elector at the time of the general
election entitled to register and cast
a ballot at the primaries, if said res
ident could not take the oath re-
quired to register?
This is the question which has
caused lines of care and worry to
show of late upon the countenance
of our genial city clerk, Sam Sum-
ner.
These are the facts in the case:
A man, who will be a qualified elec-
tor for the general election came to
the city clerks office a short time
ago and wished to register for the
coming primary. Now in order to
register it is necessary to take an
oath and the substance of the oath
given is as follows:
Il have been an actual permanent
resident of the State of Washington
for eleven months and ten days last
past, of the county of -- for 20
days last past, and of - Precinct
10 days last past 80
The statutes have this 20 say about
voting: Every qualified person
properly registered as a voter in the
election precinct enabling him to
vote at the ensuing election, where
registration is required, and every
qualified person in precincts where
registration is not required, shall be
entitled to participate in the primary
election.
What can Sam do? The applicant
lives in a precinct where registration
is required and he can register in
said precinct enabling him to vote at
the ensuing election, and this under
the statute allows him to participate
in the election.
But can he register? Under the
wording of the oath, he clearly can
not take it as it reads.
Will somebody kindly help Sam
out? We can't.
