THE new rooming-house under con-
struction by Mrs. Knox, on Washing
ton street, between Third and Fourth,
is nearing completion, being enclosed

cement building, with tubular walls,
and contains living-rooms en- suite, for
a dozen or more families. Itoccupies
the site of one of the oldest struc-
lures in the city, which has been
moved to the northeast corner of the
lot. 1t was in 1854 owned by and
occupied as the residence of J. Patton
Anderson, third Delegate to Congress
from the then Territory, whose term
expired in 1857. 1t was afterwards
the home of DR.. Warbass, and for
many years occupied after his death
by his widow.

LONGMIRE SPRINGS SOLD.-The not
ed LOngmire springs, embracing a
tract of twenty acres, in the foothills
of Mt. Rainier, were sold Tuesday
to a Summer resort company for $780,
600. The new owners intend to make
extensive improvements to better
adapt it for its natural use. A new
hotel is to be erected, and the course
of the freshwater spring which flows
through the tract, will be diverted by
flume and carried away from the
supply, thus increasing its efficiency
to equal Pigeon Spring, above the
place where the LOngmire springs
flow from their source. The tract
was taken up by the pioneer, James
Longmire, in 1888, and is now owned
by his children. seven in number.

JAPANESE READY TO SUpPLANT
UNION LABOR.-Our Canadian neigh
bors are having little experience
with the Japanese pest in the labor
trouble. White labor is on a strike
and 300 Japs, trained in the railroad
shops of the West and in technical
schools, are taking their places.
The available force in the shops are
divided into shifts which work day
and night. The company is pre-
pairing for a long siege, and it is
now thought that the strike will not
interfere with handling the crops,
which will require 100, 900 box-cars,
$50, 900 of which are in the West
with corresponding supply of en-
gines. 1t is probable that the tele-
graphers will strike.

O'Leary for q reduction of taxes.
What was then a cabbage patch, "
is now assessed at 81, 800 on the land
and $500 on the building, a story and
half cottage, which latter tax was
reduced to 500. The building and

was valued at less than the amount
of reduction.

WHAT THE PAST HAS SHOWN
Predictions are rather recklessly
made that Bryan cannot win without
carrying New York State. The fol-
lowing facts may throw some light
upon previous national campaigns,
from a Democratic standpoint; in
1924, Jackson was elected while New
York went against him; in 1856,
Buchanan lost this State but was
elected. Seymour carried New York
in 1868, but lost the election; a SINH
lar fate befell Tilden in 1876, under
the decision of the eight to seven
tribunal. In Wisconsin there is q
strong German element that has
hitherto voted the Repu blican ticket,
but is now wavering, because Wall
street seems to have such strong
hold on the Republican machine
which opposes Mr.. Bryan so vigOr-
ously. The apparent strength of
Mr.. Taft in New York financial cir
Giles, as affecting the political issue
in that State, may prove a source of
weakness to the Republicans in the
Middle West and the Pacific Coast
States.

seems to favor Taft. for the reason.
it contends. that the election OF
Nr. Bryan would greatly disturb the
business affairs OF the country and
would doubtless extend the present
financial panic for an indefinite per-
iod. but subsequently admits that
it would finally result in benefit 10
the country.
II prophc>ice that Mr.. Bryan ;
election will be followed 10y great
agitation: that boodlcrS and graftcrs
will bc exposed and punished: the
railroads made to obey the laws and
refuse unlawful rebates in favor of
certain powerful corporations; that

Of Taft the people vii! be best served
by policy that will drift with the
prevailing current of affairs and not
try to swim and make Roadway
against it.
This is certainly a very magnani-
nous view to take of public affairs
for the boodlers and grafters and is
probably no more than could 'have
been expected from writer living
under another, and altogether diff
ferent form of government, without
personal or patriotic interest in its
on permanent welfare. 1t seems to
show, however, how an unbiased
Judgment sizes up the present situa-
ton. Stripped of all cxtraneous
verbiage, it is simply this: If you
would have villainy and greed pun
ished, and corporations made to re-
spect the law, by means that will,
for time, stir up considerable bit
terncSs and confict-vOte for Bryan.
If you are content to drift with
the prevailing current of affairs.
amid the breakers of imperialism,
away from the life-guards provided
by the Constitution, and trust to the
rare possibility of a more favorable
opportunity being presented for a
return to the cardinal principles en-
braced therein, you will doubtless vote
for Taft. The eXigency, however,
seems to be fully met by the words
of that great patriot, Patrick Henry,
when he addressed just such condi-
tiOns in the Continental Congress in
1875, and said: 1--WE are apt to in
dulge in the illusions of hope. We are
apt to close our eyes against painful
truth and listen to the song of that
siren till she transforms us into beasts
Is this the part of wise men, engaged
in the great and arduous struggle

have eyes see not. and having ears
hear not the things which SO near

may cost, l am willing to know the

VAGARIEs OF THE LAw.-Volume
46 Washington Supreme Court Re
ports has made its appearance. 1t
contains the recorded opinions of the
court from March 10Th to August ID,
1907, with Arthur Remington as Re
porter. On page %, is found the re-
port of the case of the City of Spo-
kane u.s. NJ. Patterson, prescott
ing under a city ordinance. The
court held an employer guilty of VIC
lating an ordinance prohibiting blast
ing, unless the same is properly COW
vered, though the act was done by
his servant, contrary to his orders,
while he was absent; that the order
is police regulation and that the
intent is immaterial. The court, by
its reasoning, applies the same rule,
regarding intent, to saloon-keeperS,
either personally or by their agents,
IN SelllnS liquors contrary 10 law.
The violation cOnclusively implies
guilty knowledge and intent.-State
VS.. Constantine, 43 Washington, l02.
On page 81 of the volume the court
uses this language: 1t is shown
that one cannot by setting another
to do his work, and by being himself
elsewhere. reap the benefit of his
agents work and escape the conse-
quences of the latter's conduct; that
it would be impossible to effectively
enforce a statute, or ordinance, OF
this kind, if that were permitted, and
that it would become q dead letter.
