Such information in any circum-

blow, but it was made doubly so by
the presence Of the dead mans son.
Mr.. Jefferson restrained his indignation,
and in his lovable. dignifed way re-
ouested DR.. Sabine to direct him to a
church which would consent to bury
an actor.
Dr.. Sabine replied that he imagined

the Holland family, and Mr.. Jefferson
volunteered to make the arrangements
for the funeral to be held in a church
in accordance with the family's wishes.
Accompanied by George Holland, a
son Of the deceased, Mr.. Jefferson went
to a church on Fifth avenue, where all
arrangements for the funeral were
made. Something prompted Mr.. Jeffer-
son to tell the minister, the Rev. DR..
Sabine, that Mr.. Holland had been an
actor. Instantly the entire manner Of
DR.. Sabine changed, and he informed
Mr.. Jefferson and the younger Mr..
Holland that he could not permit the
burial of an actor from his church.

and gladly offered his church and his
services. Since that time-for the cor

ASPERSIONS REFLECT
VERY POOR CREDIT

The Democrat has never taken
any stock in the aspersions cast up
on Secretary Ballinger by h s
enemies in the Pinchot camp. Mr.
Ballinger has spent most OF his &C
tive life as a citizen of this state
and it is not too much to say that
his reputation is clean and that the
people of Washington, regardless
of party, consider him as not only
an honest man but an exceptional
" able one. Many eastern papers
and periodicals, perhaps not know
ing the character of the man they
are assailing, have said some pretty
mean things about Ba]linger, and
like a pack of wolves, are still bark
ing and snarling at him. Yet it
has been proven that the Secretary
has done nothing to deserve such
condemnation. Yakima ID e III o :

ANOTHER PARAMOUNT
IS SURELY COMING

While on your tour of the west
you might as we'll prepare for
another tussle with the money
question, Mr.. Bryan, and it wont
be 10 to |, but 10 to DO bankers
to run the money of the country
and the people 0.
After laying the rag baby green
back in its little fiat grave, after
disowning the trade dollar and de
basng the divorcing poor old hard
working silver coin, it is discovered
that we need a safe and sound
financial system, - some sort of
arrangement for a central bank OF
issue, which shall control the re-
serve and exercise power to meet
and control stringcnCy. y Bill Taft
has made the discovery of this
gnaWing need, and is advertising
it throughout the west, Nels Aid
rich is to father the scheme and
tell the ignorant west all about it.
Taft says it's hound to come,
and that AldriCh has done SO well
in revising necessities upward and
luxuries downward that he is
peculiarly fitted to head the new
movement for sanencss and sound
ness
Mr., Aldrich has already blush
ingly accepted, but he sees some
dangers. The central bank should
be kept free from Wall street in
huences and not be manipulated
for political purposes. He threat
ems TO talk along this line and
Wall street and the politicians are
already scared to death, almost,
not quite.
In case of casual stringency,
nowadays, the process of relief is
to have the United States treasury
grab a bag of money and run over
to Wall street and help out. 1t
will doubtless be much more con-
venient to have central bank
located right in Wall street, with
power to control the money mar
ket. OF course, much depends on
who is given this power. If the
president appoints another galaxy
of corporation hirelings, of course
a politician or two, or some fellow
with friendly interest in Wall
street, may slip in.
However, Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Aid
rich will show the minimum of
danger in their junket speeches.

POTATOES CHEAP
GROWERS SATISFIED

Spuds at Sl2 per ton is not all
that could be desired by growers.
The commission houses send out
word that the crop throughout the
state and i'll fact the Pacific Coast,
is bumper one. AS a rule few
potatoes are grown on the Sound,
but this year the Japanese have
rented much land and grew fairly
good crops. Last year the crop
was light in the PalOuse country,
this wear, it is said that good
crop prevails in that section, but
most growers have not started har-
vesting the crop as yet III those
sections, and those who have test
ed the crop say that the crops while
good, is not up to the average.
In this valley, the farmers who
have been engaged in harvesting
the crop say that the crop is not
nearly so good as anticipated. In
the Badger Popket district, fields
that were supposed to average eight
to twelve tons per acre dropped
down to three or four, only one
field going as high as eight tons
per acie. Those who have made
close examinations and watched
the situation critically dope out the
crop proposition in this fashion
and declare that dealers are trying
to bear the market, and we believe
this is about the true situation, and
while the price NAV be off for a
few weeks, before the end of the
year the price will doubtlessly
lump up to SIS to SIS or even
! higher.

STATE GRAIN COMMISSION
GIVES OUT SOME FIGURES

OLYMPIA, Oct. 19.-Replyiag to
a request for information recently
addressed by Gov Hay to the
state grain commissioner concern
ing the grain producing sections of
the state, that official has submitted
some interesting data on the sub
iect. According to the commits
sioner's figures there are z, 1915, 900
acres Of land in this state devoted
to the production of cereals, yield
ing about 40, sos, 900 bushels all
told, of which 35,O95 900 bushels
is wheat, 9,29O, 900 bushels oats,
and 8, 1870 900 bushels barley. The
average Weld of the different grain
throughout the state gives wheat
20 bushels to the acre and oats and
barley 90 bushels to the acre each.
The average price paid for these
cereals for the past ten years has
been % cents a buShel for wheat,
S1.1O per GENITAL for oats, and 81
per GENITAL for barley.
Whitman and Lincoln lead all
counties in the area devoted to the
production of grain, with $50, 900
acres each, Whitman leading in the
Weld of wheat with $500, 900
bushels, and Lincoln close second
with 5000, 900 bushels.
Whitman has first place in the
production of oats, with a yield of
3 900, 900 bushels. and Skagit sec
and with half that amount.
The heaviest production of bar
ley is credited to Columbia county
which shows yield of 2,24O, 900
bushels, while Garfield ranks sec
ond with 5000 900 bushels
The commissioner states that
about one quarter of the wheat
produced in Washington is con-
sumed locally and three-quarters
shipped out of the state OF the
oats, about One-half is consumed
locally and one half exported,
while one fourth of the barley is
marketed at home and three fourths
exported. About 1000, 900 bushels
of wheat, 100000 bushels of oats
and 100000 barley are milled in
this state annually, the principal
milling centers being Tacoma, Sc
attic, Spokane and Everett.
The average farm unit in the
grain producing sections of the
state is about SIS acres, with, at
the present time, an apparent ten
dency to increase.

answered by the statement thai
Taft has been in public service sc
long that the tariff, the foreign
policy, the trust question, COnser-
walton and internal development
ought according to accepted princi-
pies of experience, to have become
so much a part of him that minor
decisions should be a mere matter
of institution.
When Senators Jones and Piles
returned from Washington they
sought to make the people believe
that the new tariff bill was revision
downward by the use of hot air.
When the senate irrigation com
mittee arrived on the scene a few
weeks later. they bore away the
belt for peddling more con in
less time than anyone ever succeed
cd IN doing upon any previous oc-
CaSion i'll this community. When
President Taft arrived it was the
same program although, of course,
the language was slightly varied
All of which would naturally lead
one to believe that the present adj
minlstration is huge joke whose
sole duty it is to anusc the public
If President Taft really takes
himself and his administration ser
iously it onght not to be a difficult
task for him to talk about the ques-
tons of moment to the people and
to the country. ANY man who is
interested in his work, who under
stands what he is doing and why
he is doing it, experiences little
trouble in growing eloquent over
it. 1t just ooZes out of him, it
won stay in. He Just has to talk
about it when he meets those who
are interested, and surely President
Taft will never meet people who
are more vitality interested in a
number of lines of development
and growth than those whom he
has been addressing for the last
three weeks
Yet out of all his utteranCes, out
of all his public appearances, what
one position has he taken, what
policy has he outlined that would
stamp him as an original thinker
and progressive worker Not
one. With few exceptions every
thing that he has said regarding
national policies might almost as
we'll have been said by James G..
Blaine twenty years ago. Yet
what a different situation confrOnts
us today than at the time of Blaine
