The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1909-01-30


its columns the American people may continually
keep in touch with Mr.. Bryan's opinion upon pub
lie questions and with his efforts for the public
welfare
Mr.. Bryan announces that he has again assumed
editorial charge of The Commoner and that he will
give active, personal attention to the editorial de-
partment
Men Of all political parties have deep and abid-
ing interest in the fight which Mr.. Bryan is to
wage through the columns of The Commoner 1t
is fight for the public welfare; fight against
the encroachment by special interests upon the
public interest; fight for the protection of the
men who in professional Office on the farm, in
counting room or in workshop give honest toll for
their livelihood. 1t is fight to preserve popular
government as the fathers founded it.
In the initial number of The Commoner printed
in 1901 Mr.. Bryan said: 1.-The Commoner will be
satisfied if, by fidelity to the people, it proves it's
right to the name which has been chosen.''
The Commoner has proved it's right to the name
and because it is giving this proof in abundance
The Commoner deserves the support of the Amer
ican people.
Feeling that wider circulation of The Com
moner in our section will materially advance the
democratic cause, and that large per cent of our
readers, as we'll as others who should be regular
readers of paper, will take pleasure in helping
to increase The Commoner's influence in this COM
munity, we have made special arrangements with
Mr.. Bryan whereby we can furnish The Commoner
and The Colvie Examiner at the exceptionally
low rate of So for one year. This special rate
holds good for limited time only. Orders should
be sent direct to this office.
George w. Hoag, vicegerent shark Of the Spo-
kane Hoo Hoo, is responsible for the appended
"sawverbs' which he says were taken from
chapter % of the lumbermans bible:
The fool lumberman hath said in his heart Il
will not read trade journals or attend association
gatherings | will run my business to suit myself"
Verify, he spendeth long hours pondering upon
the success of his competitors.
You can drive man to think, but you can't
make him over.
All men are liars, including some umbermen
Every man hath his own price except lumber
men. They sell below cost.
Lumbermen want little here below and even
take pleasure in giving most of that away.
4. Because you take up lots of room in street car
is no sign that you occupy any space in the esti-
nation of your competitors
Cultivate cheerfulness, because every time it
slops over it creates an epidemic.
Don't assume wealth, because most of us would
like to borrow little money.
Some men are born lucky, and others run
sawmill.
Every man that plays pool isn't failure but
every man that's failure plays pool
All foods have advanced in price excepting food
for thought; that can be had at the same old price.
All lumbermen need to raise prices is pure
water, cheerful society and absolute confidence in
each other. But pshaw! the same things would
raise hell.
