REPUBLICAN CENSURE
OF STATE GOVERNOR
Editor of "PuyaIIup Republican
In His Latest Issue.

What do you think of this little
squib that appeared in the Puyal-
lup Republican of April 10, 1908?
The Republican is, as its name in
dictates, a republican paper, and
one would naturally suppose it
would stand by its party, but like
thousands of other papers through
out the United States, it has the
courage of it's convictions and
darcs to assert them. Long may
it live. Here is the article:
when the Governor of Great
State, like Washington, descends
50 low that he will send the follow
ing telegram congrat,lating a
couple of disreputable newspapers
controlled by a little political man
ikin, it is time that the sovereign
people of the state should arise in
their might and consign him to
that political oblivion he 50 richly
deserves:
Olympia, April 8, 'OS-I con-
graduate the News and Ledger on
the overwhelming republican vic
tory in Tacoma. 1t is attributable
to your clean and vigorous adj
vocacy of high principles and re-
publicanism. y

the law of 1897 is an act to pre-
vent the destruction, mutilation OF
DETACHMENT of landmarks and not
ices upon mining claims and pro
viding a penalty therefor and con-
tains two sections and has no sec
ton 3 to be amended. Doubtless
what was intended was the amend
mcnt of section of chapter II of
the laws of 1897 and its amend
ments, but the failure to properly
refer to it by its number and title,
it is asserted, leaves section 3 of
the law of 1897 still in force.

and they approved of his policies.
He died early in his second term
and Henry Mcbride was promoted
to the office. He endeavored to
carry out the policies inaugurated
by Rogers and thereby incurred
the enmity of the machine politi.
ticlans of his party and was refused
the nomination for governor BY
the republican state convention of
1904.
The convention was dominated
by railroad influences which dictat-
ed the nomination of Albert T..
Mead. His administration has
been weak and vacillating. In
stead of guarding the treasury of
the commonwealth against the
raids of politicians and extravagant
legislators, he has aided and abet-
ted them i'll recklessly appropriate
ing the money of the taxpayers.
AS result the state, instead of re-
duClng its obligations during three
years of unprecedented prosperi-
ty, when high taxes have been
promptly paid, has been plunging
deeper into debt. In addition to
this deplorable condition, the
schools are being deprived of their
legal revenue in order to keep down
the tax levy for political purposes.
The people are praying for all
other John r. Rogers in the COVER
nor S chair and they are looking to
the democratic party to furnish
such a man. They do not care
whether he be a lawyer, business
man or a farmer, or from what part
of the state he may happen to hail.
All that they require is that he be
a man on whose integrity, judg-
ment and courage they can abso-
lutely rely. They exigencies of
the situation demand man of
unusual bravery and frmness.
He will have a thorny path to
n
finances of the states upon a sound
basis he will have to reform many
abuses, will have to abolish many
useless offices, will have to prune
down or veto many appropriations,
will have to refuse many petitions
and disappoint many individuals
and communities. He will have to
institute a policy of such rigid
economy that is bound to be I'M
popular. His motives are likely
to misunderstood and are sure to
be misrepresented. The people
realize that conditions require a
man cast in heroic mould at the
head of the state administration
for the next four years. IT the
democratic party presents such
candidate, he will be Our next
governor.

My soul cries out for freedom
But my spirit self is sad;
For the world is filled with people
Soul-skimped and money-mad.
My soul cries out for freedom,
But freedom may not be;
While COLDS the human standard
Instead of sympathy
What though l have the passion,
While other men have not;
What can one man accomplish
One man against the lot?
Come, then, we human spirit,
Blend now your souls with mine,
And let us send vibrations
That cause the sun to shine.
The clouds will soon be lifting
Send back goodwill to me;
And we will set the nations
From sin and so row free
Send forth the si.eit message
And let the light be born;
Behold, the night is passing,
Soon, soon it will be dawn.
Awake, ye failing millions,
Your masters stink away;
TO dens of deep oblivion
Soon, soon it will be day.

William Goodyear of CoIfax
Draws a Vivid Picture

Drunk with power and STIR
rounded by his flattering APP
pointees, Governor Mead has
suddenly been confronted by the
handwriting OH the wall and has
become greatly troubled in spirit.

nor a wise man to translate the in

words are in plain English and
have been stamped on the back of

Interpretation is: Thou hast been
weighed in the balances and found

taken from the. -
So declares Billy Goodyear Of
Colfax, prospective nominee of the
democratic party for congressman
from this district. In vigorous
article in the Washington Demo-
crat he attacks the present state
administration and declares:
Our next governor must not
be spineless specimen of medi-
ocrity. He must have a higher
ambition in life than to play poll
tics or to win the reputation of
being good fellow. He must
have truer conception of the re-
sponsibilities of the Office than to
use it as medium through which
to reward his friends and bench
men or to build up a personal
machine. He must be a man of
convictions, endowed with sufficient
backbone to adhere to those CON
vlctions through thick and thin.
he must be patriotic enough to
place the welfare of the state above
the interests of his party. He
must have the courage to say No
TO the requests of his closest friends
should their petitions run counter
TO his judgment. In making APP
polntments to office he must be
broad enough to place efficiency
above politics.

SHOOTING sTRAIGHTER.
Bad Gunnery In the Spanish War, But
Better Since.

6CItGT olHCO.
In an article in McClure's Magazine
on THE Fight for a New Navy" the
author, in telling Of the strides made
in gunnery, reviews the conditions that
prevailed in the Spanish war. He
says:
THE Spanish war was won by two
naval victories-Manila and Santiago
Naturally, the fame Of the American
navy, and especially Of its gunnery
famed across the world. AS a matter
Of fact, the shooting at Manila and
Santiago was about as bad as possible
At Manila 80 per cent Of the shots
missed at a range Of from 5000 to 1000
wards; at Santiago-the chief battle
of the war-at least 9S per cent A
special commission Of officers, which
was appointed to examine the wrecks
Of the Spanish ships at Santiago, es-
tablished this fact officially. 1t re-
ported that of $500 projectiles fired
only 1913, or 1.3 per cent, had found a
mark on the Spanish ships. Making
every possible allowance for hits
which could not readily be seen upon
the wrecks. not one shot in so struck
it's mark. The day Of the battle was
clear, the sea smooth, the targets were
20 feet high and 200 feet long and the
range was $500 yards. English gun
ners at that time could have hit the
Spanish ships at least two out OF every
five shots. Fortunately for us, the fact
that we were fighting a thoroughly
senile power. whose ships had neither
gunners nor proper ammunition abroad
gave us an undisputed victory"

Men Of the south, now Is the time
to show our loyalty, determination

our hands within this fight. The mills
have given more orders for cotton in
the last ten days than ever known in
the history Of the world. There is no
bumper crop to discourage us on main
tanning higher values than cotton is
now bringing. We are taking from
SIS to SIS bale less for cotton now
than it brought one year ago, and all
this sacrifice is because we have over
fed the market this season. The man
ner is which you respond to this call

The following has also been made
public, being an appeal to the busi-

ers:
"To the People of the Cotton Belt.
I'VE the joint committee Of the Ma
tional Farmers Union and Of the H.
nancial and commercial interests Of
New Orleans, realizing that confidence
in cotton market conditions has been
impaired and the apprehension thereby
engendered has caused more rapid
marketing of cotton than has ever been
known, and believing that the holding
of cotton at the present time will per-
NIT the healthy assimilation Of tenn
porary superabundance and restore
normal conditions under which re-
munerative prices may be obtained
hereby earnestly appeal to every far
mer merchant and banker and other
holders and owners of cotton to hold
back, as far as they can, their present
holdings and not sell unless absolutely
compelled to do so, until the price OF
cotton shall have reached a substan-
TALLY increased figure.
I'VE especially request all merchants
and bankers of the cotton belt to ex-
tend the obligation Of the cotton grow
ers when called upon to do so for
reasonable period, and to do all other
things in their power to aid and en-
courage such growers and holders OF
cotton, believing, as we do, that all
the business conditions Of the world.
and especially of the cotton world
steadily point toward better prices

determined action will logically and In
