CIRCULATION 2,266.
Wednesday, September 23, 1903.

Now that the election is over, there
is lust one matter to which we wish
to invite the attention of the people,
and it is the matter of expecting can
didates to contribute to all kinds OF
enterprises, churches, school-houses
and the like. We saw great deal of
it during the summer. The men who
seek the suffrage of the people and
who are elected to public places, are
usually men who have limited means,
and cannot afford the demands made
upon them by the thoughtless public.
A community wishes to build
church, or new church in the place
of the old one, and Immediately a
committee of pretty young ladies is
appointed with instructions to see the
candidates and to get from them such
contributions as they may be forced
to give. We use the word forced ad-
visedly, for four-fifths of the contribu-
tions made by candidates are unwill-
$ingly made. What right does COM
munity, in one extreme of the county
have to expect contributions from
candidates who live in other ex-
tremes? It is wrong and unjust i'm
position upon public men. There is
no need for it, for there is no commu-
nifty in the county 80 poor that its
citizens cannot build their own
churches and school-houses and furn-
ish them nicely. The candidate feels
. that he is being held-up and though
he may seemingly contribute in will
ingness, the fact is, that he does not
do so in the spirit which ought to
prompt one in giving. Members Of
churches, or patrons of schools, should
want to build these institutions them
selves. so that each would feel that
each had personal property right in
them, and that they were built
through the individual efforts of the
citizens of the communities and not
through unwilling contributions from
candidates and public officials. Let
this foolish thing stop!

ieesville.

On his trip to Leesville on Friday
the editor found the merchants in the
best of humor. Leesville, like her
sister town Batesburg, is good cot.
ton market, and we saw hundreds of
bales while there. We were sorry to
learn of the serious illness of Mr.. O..
D. Barr, one of the largest merchants
of the town. He was carried to the
Columbia hospital on Saturday night
where he was operated upon for ap-
pendicitis on Monday. >.

Letter to G. n. Edrd, ESQ. ,.

LcA1uSGOu -. ~.
Dear Sir: Two men on opposite sides
of the same street sell sausages, one at
10c Id, the other at 5. Which sells the
more sausages, think you?
The answer is: It depends on the
street. There are plenty of streets in
the world where SC sausages go like
the wind.
Devoe is an honest paint; there are
eight honest paints, 200 adultera;ted
and short-measure; Devoe is the best
of the eight. Devoe has more strength
than the other seven The painter
adds generally a quart of oil to Devoe;
he still has stronger paint than any
other one of the seven.
The seven are sold at one price $1.75
a gallon; common price of second
rate paint is $3.50. 1t takes 8 gallons
Devoe to paint small house, and ~
of average paint; 8 gallons cost less
than 10; the price is more than onset
by less gallons.
It costs 81 to 81 day to get paint
on; day is gollon; $8 to SIG more
to paint the more-gallons paint: IS to
$16 less for painting the less-gallons
paint.
The difference in first cost of the
two jobs is $14 to S22 and which wears
best do you think? It's the less-gal-
Ions paint because of it's strength.
There are plenty of people to buy
those SC sausages.
! Yours truly,
66 F. w. Devoe & Co.

VALDEZ GREEK

Since Valdez creek has become somewhat well known through the reports of rich gold dlggings In that section of the territory. many are planning to go In there this winter and are asking for the best route. In one respect the creek is unfortun. ately named. The name that the creek bears has led to published statements that a rich gold strike has been made near Valdez on Val dez creek. This creek is hundreds of miles from Valdez and is not more easily reached from that town than from some other places.
 Some have gone in from Valdez because no supplies were to be ob. tained last winter near the location of the creek. The situation will be changed this winter. The A. c. com. pany plans to place a base of sup. piles within about seventy.five miles of this rich gold field and are said to be taking orders for supplies at the present time. Outfits can also be secured at Knik and the Station. Parties can also ship their supplies in by way of Cook inlet in the sum- mer. and from there they can be taken up the river in boats and cached for winter use.
 In the winter time the most prac. ticable route to Valdez creek is by way of Seward. Parties landing at Seward can go over the trail to Knik and susitna Station, there get their outfits and go up the rivers on the ice. It is possible to reach Valdez creek in this way in about half the time 1t would require if the start was made from Valdez. because the trail is not more than half as long and supplies do not have to be packed for such Q long dlstance.-Seward Gateway.

The sudden change in the relation ship of the emperor of Germany and his people is one of the most start ling things of recent history. And all resulting from an indiscreet utter auce. A year ago for a German to whisper the name of William lightly was to take the risk of severe pun ishment. Because of an utterance on the part of that same autocrat that brought humiliation upon those same humble people the situation is reversed and the kaiser is breaking down under the weight of the openly expressed derisiOn of the plain peO- pie. The emperor who so lately made the declaration that he would do as he pleases" has made the greatest discovery of his life.

FOWLER AND CANNON.

The announcement of Representa-, tive Charles N. Fowler. chairman of the committee on banking and cur. reucy. that he will be a candidate for speaker of the national house of rep reseptatives. may mean that there will be a revolt against Speaker Can non; or 1t may mean that Mir. Can non. on account of age, will not again seek the speakershlp.
 There is a suggestion of revolt in the change which Mir. Fowler pro poses to make in the house rules, a change which would deprive the speaker of much of the power now exercised by him, and against which there has been widespread protest, though the protest has come largely from democratic sources.
 Mir. Fowler proposes that the house "elect a board of managers, consist ing of seven members, which shall be charged with that direction of legislation which is now assumed by the speaker" Under the present rule the speaker selects floor managers" to perform the duties which the board of managers would perform un- der Mir. Fowler's proposed change; hence. the only difference between the present rule and the rule pro posed is in the manner Of selecting the managers" the speaker appoint ing in one case, and the house select ing in the other case.
 Whether MT. Fowler's plan will meet with favor is an open question. It is net bad suggestion. though Speaker Cannon might regard it as giving too much color to the charge of his enemies that he had abused his power as speaker. But the re- publican members should not be swayed by any one mans interests or opinions in a matter of this char. acter. They should do what is best for the house. best for the country. for in doing that they win be doing also what is best for the republican party.-Post.Intelllgencer.

When John D. Rockefeller says t is better to give than to receive he probably means 1t. John is getting to be an old man now and. looking upon life through the length of his years. is enabled to make a closer estimate upon the real value of the dollar.-since he has in his posses sion nearly all there are-than he had when he began saving up, and he finds that he has missed nearly everything that. he can now see.

arrested by Detectives Weir and

and Mrs. Leona Olewald and de-
manded money. They had only a
dime, which he refused. He al
lowed them to 60 on their promise
to get money and bring it to him
on the corner of Main and Post.
They notified. the police, then went

cuse was that he was drunk. JUS
tice Mann this afternoon sentenced
him to 80 days on the chain gang.

MORE SCHOOLS
NECESSARY. J;

The question of providing more
room for Spokane school CHILDREN
was taken up energetically last
night at a meeting of the civic
Club federation. The numbers of
buildings where 1t is now possible
to hold but half day sessions was
discussed. and a large committee,
of which G. w. Tuerke is chair
man, appointed to work on plan
for giving every child fun oppor-
tunity to acquire an education.
The only apparent solution is
the erection of more school build
ings, a project that has engaged
the attention of the school board
for several years. The growth Of
the city, however, has outstripped
all preparations SO far planned.
and it begins to look as II a bond
issue TO build more schools is Hike
ly to become an annual necessity.
