ton, as second class matter.

THE democratic press claims the
of governor at the prl-
maries in California as an insurgent
victory, but are not very boistrous
over it. There were three or four reg
ular candidates for the office, and the
insurgent candidate, insurgent only on
state issues SO it is claimed, secured a
plurality of the votes cast. Had there
been but one regular candidate the in
surgent representative would have
been beaten out of sight. The same
unfortunate conditions are facing the
republicans in this state in the matter
of the selection of United States SEN
ator. There is one insurgent on the
east side, against five or six west side
regulars. With prinkling of repub-
lican support and almost solid demo-
cratic backing the insurgent candidate
has all the best of it. With a straight
fight between the east side man and a
single candidate from the west side the
democrat masquerading as repnbli-
can, with all the democratic votes be-
hind him, could be easily defeated. 1t
is to be regretted that the west side
candidates could not have placed party
above personal ambition, gotten to-
gether and either selected one of the
number by chance to stand for the Of
fee, or combined upon compromise
candidate.

A PARTY by the name of La Toilette
running for congressman in this dis
trict, is either the most ignorant man
who ever ran for Office, or the most
misrepresenter. In the
Spokesman of Wednesday he had the
effrontery to intimate that the state
officials were standing in to sell to a
syndicate the Brewster fiat for $40 per
acre, claiming it to be the richest land
in the state. The Brewster fiat lands
were advertised for sale as all other
school lands are. They were Appraised
at so per acre, and without water that
was SO an acre more than they are
worth. The land was open to the high
est bidder, as all school lands are
Even if the daily papers had not men,
toned the sale there would have been
plenty of bidders to run up the price
La Toilette, if he knows anything
which is very doubtful. knows that no
syndicate could secure this, or any
other, school land without confronting
spirited bidders. If asininity is a
recommendation for office La Toilette
is well equipped.

AS HAS been repeatedly stated, and
proven, no reliance whatever can be
placed in the political statements that
appear in the Spokesman. They are
colored to suit the bias of that paper
The Spokesman's report of the Poin-
dexter meeting Olympia was exceed
ingly colored. A gentleman residing
at Olympia writes ''Poindexter spoke
here last night. heard him. He had
a fair house, bul no enthusiasm and
very little applause of any kind. His
speech sounded for the most part like
a warmed over TRADE of 1896. He
dragged in the name of Mark Hanna,
and dealt on it with particular relish,
like there was good old familiar
taste to the name that he had acquired
earlier in life when in more congenial
company. The speech was less than
democratic. it was pure populism.'
OF course it is easy for Poindexter to
revamp his old democratic speeches
and use them IN his present campaign.
They take with his followers, and are
much easier for the speaker to handle
than any argument along republican
lines. They fit in better with his pc.
litical associates, and coincide with his
views on public questions.

THE Davenport Times comes to this
office with new head and new dress,
presenting a very much improved APP
pearance. 1t may be added that a new
editor and proprietor has recently taken
charge OF the Times, Mai. j. G. Ham
lin, the brightest and most forceful
writer that has ever had charge of
that paper. The writer is pleased to
see these signs of prosperity around
the Times office, as he hung out at
that print shop once upon time, and
is especially gratified to note that the
new pen pusher is one of that class of
republicans who are true their party
at all times and under all circum-
stances.

MURDOCH, the Kansas demo-insur-
gent congressman, spoke in Spokane
Saturday night, and the people of that
city have not listened to such fiery
democratic speech since the days when
Judge Turner Topped to the demo- pop
ulist party, and considered it necessary
to impress the depth and sincerity of
his apostacy upon his new associates
by bitter abuse of Mckinley and his
administration. 1t is history repeat
ing itself. If Murdoch has not wholly
deserted the republican party then
Turner never changed his political
coat.

IT is being bruited around by some
one wholly ignorant of what he is talk
ing about, that the son of the editor of
this paper, who is at present the gov
ernor's private secretary, is interested
in the Wenatchee World, and as the
World is democratic paper just now,
supporting Poindexter, consequently
the young man is a strong friend of
that political impositor. We desire to
say that the son despises Pondexter
and his demagogic methods as heartily
as does the father. 1t is safe to say
that at present the young man is not
interested in the World, for if he were
it would be supporting Taft and the
republican party.

The Republic Record has changed
hands, and with the change the old
name has been dropped and the paper
is now known as the Paystreak. There
has been great change in the appear
ance of the paper under the new name,
and the new publishers are evidently
hustlers and are aiming to give Repub-
lie live local paper.

A MAN from the west side with the
euphonious name of Smith is entitled
to niche in the hall of fame. He
has discovered that Poindexter is mag
netic. Magnetism in a man as blood
less as an oyster, and as cold and
clammy as jelly fish. Ye gods, what
an imagination.

of the steep hill sides, the small strips
of ground being well cultivated and

section of the county.
When any question was in doubt,
the genial Captain Baughman was

Joined Sanity Parents

On Wednesday, May 18th, Mrs.
NJ. ", Rogers, departed this life,
For more than a year her health
had steadily declined, and during
the weeks just preceding the end
she was a great sufferer. Before her
marriage Mrs. Rogers was Miss
Hattie Bell, the youngest child of
the lamented Mr.. and Mrs. J. M:
Bell. Though she was cut down in
the prime of life, she had lived
long enough to reflect the teaching,
by example and precept, of her
sanity parents. And we doubt not
that this the youngest member of a
once happy, unbroken home circle
has joined her father and mother in
that upper and better land. God
having called her, no human agen-
cy availed to prolong the. life of
Mrs. Rogers: She had the best medi-
cal skill, and friends and loved ones
ministered to her increasingly, but
nothing could stay the hand of
Death. The self-sacrifcing devotion
of her husband during her long and
very trying illness was beautiful.
Our Rehoboth correspondent pays
Mrs. Rogers a tribute, and writes
of the funeral service in his letter
this week. -

Memorial Day FittingIy cele-
brated at Johnston.

Memorial Day was observed on
Tuesday afternoon with fitting ex-
ercises.
I, line of march was formed on
lower main street, and all marched
to cemetery where the graves of the
departed heroes were decorated. The
line of march, was composed first of
the carriages containing the speaker
and other honored ones, then the
school children, each bearing small
confederate flags and garlands; next
the D. of c., each wearing the chap
ter badge, with the mourning side
upward; then the veterans.
After the graves had been.
decorated, all repaired to the audi
torium where the address of Miss
Grace Lumpkin, of Columbia, was
listened to. Miss Lumpkin is a rare
and gifted orator for one, so young,
and charmed herhearers. Her youth
full heart is filled with patriotism
and her address brought forth re-
peated applause. At the conclusion,
she was presented with hand paint
ed picture of Lees home, "Arling-
ton," the work of one of the ID. of
c., Miss Marie Coleman, now de-
parted. -,
The bestowal of the crosses of
honor was next on program, five
being given, one of Them being the
cross won by the late Col. Jack
Tompkins, and bestowed upon his
eldest daughter, Mrs. FIN. Warren.
One of the pleasant features of
the afternoon was when the local,
presidentiof the d. of g., spoke of
this day being the ssth birthday
of Mrs. Angeline Bacon, The oldest
member of the chapter. She was
asked to come forward and was pre-.
lsented by Mrs. Eleanor Ivy Il; .,
Ia gift from the chapter, the book
Iientitled, The Women of the Con
federacy."
Several patriotic songs were sung
during the exercises, and Nearer
my God to thee concluded the ex-
ercises.
