We observe from the daily papers
THAT the wnrStlin" MATCH. which was
held in Columbia on Wednesday
yniwnt. wound up in q fight bet tween
the two contestants.
We have often wondered why in
a civilized State and in il Christian
State such matches would be permit

of these wrestling matches. they are
more harharinuS than Il rpizc fight,
and certainly they do not do anything
for ti!r elevation or the brttrrmcmt
of the citizenship Of this State. On
the contrary, we are satisfied that
they are drmoralizin% and injurious

mary election officers fail to take this
matter up along the lines indicated
above. it is very likely that many peo-
pie will simply be disfranchised and
not permitted to take any part at the
ensuing primary election.
There is one other point, howeve-.
which should be called to the attention
of the primary election officers. and
that is a provision contained in section
II of our direct primary election law,
wherein it is provided that If at the
hour of closing there are any electors
in the polling place desiring to vote,
and who are qualified to participate
therein, and who have not been able
to do so since appearing at the poll
ing place, the polls shall be kept open
reasonably long enough after the hour
of closing to allow those so present
at that hour to vote No one not pres
ent at the hour of closing shall be
entitled to vote because the polls may
not be actually closed when he ar
rives."

SERVICE
SCORES A POINT
ENABLED TO PRINT ITS OWN
PRESS NOTICES FOR DIS
TRIBUTION.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE forest
service comes back strong against it's
critics in the house and senate In a
press bulletin just issued and one that
is backed up by an opinion of the az
torney general, by the way
At the last session of congress. the
lawmakers threatened to cut down the
appropriations for the service because
of the socalled press agency" which
Chief Forester Pinchot had been con-
Quoting in connection with the forest
work. 1t was freely charged that the
service maintained a corps of expert
writer's, former newspaper men and
eel .oTs, who wrote nice little puffs, ad-
vance notices, etc, telling what a great
organization the forest service was,
what a pile of good it did the public.
what great man Clifford Pinchot was,
and what rascals those men were who
opposed the forest policy. To prevent
this, the lawmakers inserted Joker"
in the appropriation bill. apparently
shutting out the agency" completely.
But the foresters We're resourcetui.
They turned to Attorney General Be-
naparte. and now flourish in the faces
of the Carping critics his official opin-
ion that the news bureau-(they call
it the bureau OF information down at
the servicei-is perfectly legitimate ana
right. Congress thought it had stopped
all the press bulletin service" of that
opinion. he forest service is going right
on, issuing a bulletin nearly every day
with all sorts of information, from
how 20 cut down a tree to how much
alcohol may be extracted from a pine
wood chair
WASHINGTON correspondents are real
grateful fer all the stuff that comes
in forest service envelopes. If the mat
ter is not available, the back side OF
the paper on which it is mimeographed
makes good copy paper.
CONGRESS is likely to become recon-
ciled to the publicity work of the for
est service Every branch of the gov
eminent has some sort of a press

,ion-the only trouble is that the forest

How to reduce the cost of powder for
blasting stumps seemed to be consid-
cred the most important problem be-
fore today's meeting, over which
President Joel Shoemaker, of Seattle,
presided.
F. M. Sherman, a millman from Va
shon island, advocated a law permit
ting counties or districts to bond them
selves for land clearing purposes and
do the work of clearing for individuals,
taxing mortgage at low rate Oh H.
terest on the land cleared, to secure
return of the expenditure Mr.. Sherman
states that the greatest stumbling
block in cheap clearing is the price of
powder He related the experience of
powder manufacturer who located
ON Vashon island and sold powder to
the ranches at seven cents pound,
making good profit at that price. But
the powder trust interfered, forced thu.
manufa cturers Of sulphuric and nitric
acid to shut off the supply for the indie
pendent manufacturer, and this partic-
ular one was compelled to move to
Marysville, in this county, where the
same kind of powder is now made and
sold at Is to 20 cents a pound
The association at its next meeting
will consider new legislation bearing
on the land-clearing problem.

SOLDIER POET
MAY GET EVEN
A. L. PRICE RETURNS TO NATIVE
LAND TO WOO THE GENTLE
MUSE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE only
poet that the army ever locked up be-
cause there was too much sting in his
lines has decided to earn his bread and
butter and perhaps some fame on the
side, by devoting himself exclusively
to rhyming. A. L. Price, is his nam.,
and he has just landed in the states
from the Philippines, where he earned
the title of THE Soldier Poet, by
wooing the gentle muse while serving
under the god of war.
Price sprang into fame through
poem that he published about two
years ago. 1t was based upon the al
legged rendition of Always In the
Way" at the funeral of private in
the marine corps Himself a private.
Price resented the reported insult. The
poem was dedicated to the officer who
was said to have ordered the playing
of the piece and the verses related how
the officer was further down below us,
than a dog a niger owns" The next
thing Price knew he was in jail.
After his term in the army had ex-
pired the Cable News American, in
Manila, employed Price to write poems
for stated occasions like Decoration
day, and the Fourth of July. When he
left the Philippines he left this as his
parting lines:
Farewell to the work that bleeds me,
farewell to the gods that grind;
Farewell to the work that you cannot
shirk. and the spirit strings that bind.
I'm back again to the white mans
land which the white mans hand
controls;
So l wave my hand to the black mans
land. to the land of sluggard souls
