TOGA
SITUATION MAY DE-
mAID P0lNDExTER
AS SPOKANE.

Whether tbs best to sacrifice the
seeming certainty Of reelection as
congressman to try for q seat in
the United States senate, is the
problem that is now agitating the
Hon. Miles Poindexter, progressive
statesman, foe of Joe Cannon, and
champion Of the people generally.
Congressman Poindexter was
tcontented to move along the even
tenor of his way and again ask
the support Of the people Of the
Third Washington district for his
return to congress. when some pub
lic-spirited gentlemen on the coast
got busy. They saw a senatorial
fight looming In the 1910 primaries,
In which the aspirants now under
consideration are of the stripe that
now dominates the senate.
In going over the field of men of
progressive ideas capable of wrest-
ing the nomination for senator
from the old conservative crowd,
Representative Poindexter was Sc
lected as the one most likely, be-
cause OF his stand against Speaker
Cannon, and his votes on the tariff
bill, to solidify the great body of
the people Of Washington, who
stand for better things In our ma
tional halls of congress.
Poindexter stood out against the
reelection of Joe Cannon and op-
posed all the trust-dictated Sec
tons of the tariff bill, finally vot-
ing against the bill as a whole, and
Is now lace high" to use gam
bling expression, with his con-
stituents.
Judge Poindexter has taken all
of these matters under considera-
tion, and II he concludes to enter
the senatorial race he will make
due announcement of the same
within few days. He is not burn
ing with ambition for seat In the.
upper house of congress, but II he
could aid In cleaning out that body
and lining up with such men as
LaFollette, Cummins. Beveridge,
Bristow, Dolliver, Clapp he feels
that the people would be rendered
q lasting service.

OIL TARIFF JUeeLe.

Nothing foxier has ever been de- vised than the tariff legislation under which the Standard Oil company en- joys it's oppressive, burdensome and miliionaire-making monopoly. The oil trust in the United States is the re- suit of an elastic, rctaliatory tariff. says the Los Angeles Herald. Exact. ly what measure of protection many people, who have found it difficult to reconcile the facts of RockefeIlerism with the allegation that oil is on the free list. and that if Standard oil magnates control the oil produced in America 1t is because they also eth CT control or can compete with and 1ndsrsell the oil produced fin other countries and shipped to the Uniteo States.

TOUCH ON NEVADA.

No state has more to gain or less to lose by a war between this coun-
 .ry and Japan than California. It
 would be on the firing line from the
 TeTy start. It's trade. its business, It's people and it's peace would be dis turbed more quiIbly and more disas- trously in all human probability than that of any other portion of the Con- ,inental United States. A war with Japan could not help California in the least, and in all probability would hurt 1t severely. Instead of adopting measures calculated to irritate ana Incense Japan and create conditions that might bring about collision be- tween that country and our own Cali fofnia would be more wise if it look ed upon itself as under bonds to keep the peace on account of its exposed condition should war break out be- tween the two nations. California > position in the matter can be respect cd but Neyada's butt into the contro- versy from behind the ramparts Of the Sierra Nevada mountains Is gro tesque. In the case of war it would be q good thing if an invading Japa- nese army could be transported to Nevada. It would' only be necessary to let 1t alone and it would starve to death--P Philadelphia Times.

The Hampton election law is one that is deserving of the support of ev- ery citizen of Arizona. IL provides for an educational qualification. one that
 should have been on toe statute books of Arizona for the past thirty years. True. 1t may work hardship in some cases but American citizenship Is something that cannot. or at least should not be lightly pur- chased. One should be able to read and write in the English lan- guage. or in other words be qualified
 by education to understand the law of the country under which they live and enjoy prosperity. In such law there is nothing political. IL is fair for one party as it is for the other. and will stop fraud at the ballot box. There will be no schooling of where
