John L. Wilson met the officers
of the Wilson Club the evening
before leaving for the East and
discussed at length che senator
ial situation. In reply to the
question, which had been pre-
viously submitted to him if he
would permit the use of his name
in connection with the senatorial
nomination he wrote L. H. Gray
and laconically replied, Il am in
the Hands of my Friends, F"
which is interpreted to mean, if
his frieuds think advisable he
will be a candidate and his friends
think he has the best show for
nomination and election that he
has ever had. Before leaving
Senator Wilson earnestly re.
quested Mr.. Gray to thank his
friends one and all for their
kindness in his behalf and that
though across the deep blue sea
he would keep in touch with
them both by cable and letter.
Wilson Clubs will now be organ
lied all over the state.

the South, the Negroes best
friend. Evidently Col. Norris
had forgotten that the delegates
from the South to the National
Democratic Convention that met
in Denver not many months ago
went on record as not even want
ing to win the presidency if they
had to do SO by Negro votes.
Col. Norris also forgot that the
most of the states of the South
have unqualifedly disfranchised
the Negro voter so that it is no
more possible for him to vote the
Democratic ticket than the Re-
publican. The uncalled for
vicious legislation that the states
Of the South have passed detri-
mental to the progress of the
Negro clearly demonstrates that,
the white man of the South is
the black mans best friend. Col.
Norris himself left the South
and came to Seattle on account
of unfair legislation against the
black man in the South. What
would Abe Lincoln think of such
a black man?

The Tacoma Tribune in speak
ing of the Seattle Spirit, says:
What is the Seattle Spirit?
Why, it is the simplest thing in
the world: Loyalty and patriot
ism-of all-not a few. Try and
get native Seattleite to knock
his home city and get knocked
down. perhaps, for your pains.
And this applies to ll-from th4
banker and business man to the
newsboy. 1t doesn't matter
whether Seattle is right or wrong
it is Seattle.
That kind of spirit is pretty
good thing for any town or city.
Applied to Conconully, or any
other town in Okanogan county,
it will do wonders in developing
and making better the place in
which you ive.-Record.

j. D. Jones' candidacy for
councilman at large does not seem
to be making any more head
way than does Austin E. Grihiths
for mayor of Seattle. Talk about
odd combinations but the one at
which Grifiths is at the head,
which has for it's object the con-
troll of the Republican politics of
Seattle, perhaps King county and
even the state of Washington, is
the limit.

Robert L. Mccormick of Pierce
county, which county in the recent
congressional election went over
whelmingly Democratic, has an
nounced his intention to file for
the Republican nomination of
United States senator. Mr.. Nc
Cormick is the local representa-
tive of the Weyhauser timber
syndicate and it is the influence
of the company that is forcing
him into the race. He once ran
for mayor of Tacoma, but was
badly beaten by George Wright
a Democrat. Whether or not he
will have the active support of

1t is the concensus Of opinion
all over the state that Senator
Piles is the only senatorially
talked of candidate that would
give John L. Wilson anything like
a close run, but with Piles out of
the race Wilson would capture
King county, leave the northwest
with a big lead over all other
candidates, would simply clean
up in the southwest, even do
things in Pierce county and with
any number of candidates in
Eastern Washington would hold
his own and as against Miles
Poindexter, Mccormick ct al
Wilson would sweep the field
over all. Senator Jones will
take the stump for Wilson and
Whitman, Yakima, Lincoln,
Okanogan and Stevens will
give him such overwhelming ma
iorities that even if Spokane
should go against him still ne
would be nominated.

Little Rock had himself inter

The seat in the city council
which has been warmed by H.
G. Gill for the past ten years is
eagerly sought by number of
ambitious politicians and among
them are J. J. Smith, Joseph
Schlumpf, F. M. Jeffrey and a
score of others who have not as
yet announced themselves. All
of the above are more or less
prominent in local Republican
circles and an interesting scrap
in the third ward may be looked
for.

Dream OF Socialism
Proves a Nightmare

New Zealand, long advertised ms
the best country In the world for the
working classes, has fallen on such
exceeding hard times ut last that,
according to the Minister OF Finance,
it is proposed to introduce u bill for
insurance against unemployment at
the next session of the Colonial
Parliament, MS well M TO point out to
lawmakers that, ii the situation Is to
be relieved as heretofore by enor-
nous public works, it will he neces-
sary to negotiate extensive loans and
to increase taxation considerably.
This country has been held to the
fore as the paradise Of the poor and
middle classes. 1t has insurance in
stitutions under government direc-
ton and 1t has IL system Of pensions
and annuitics which, in IL degree, re-
lieves the individual from nisgivings
us to the future and the Importance
of making provision for it. For II
time matters proceeded smoothly,
but the burden, 1t would now seem
has become so large ns to assume
menacing proportions.
New Zealand is in bad financial
lines. At present onc-soventh of the
entire population depends upon the
government for support. Retrench-
ment means starvation to them. They
have not been educated to make pro-
vision for themselves. They have
been taught to lean on the govern
ment. The results are now in
evidence.
Artificial forms of operation have
never been able to endure indefinite
w. They may succeed for IL time, but
the natural order of things eventually
asserts itself. A stream can rise no
higher than its source. A govern
ment can go no further in affortiing
bounties to its people than its reve-
nues will permit. The people them
selves are the ones who make snch
revenues possible. The returning of
these is, therefore, in the nature of
shifting money from one interest to
another. No equivalent has been
given for it. This is unnatural and
will eventually bring about its own
destruction.
The Monitor is firm in the belief
that self-help il the only form which
will endure. A people wakes strong
and vigorous when 1t IL forced to rely
upon itself. 1t becomes self-confldent
and courageous when 1t engages in
LIES battles and comes out victori-
Gus. There is no comparison between
such people and one which has no
incentive to think and act for itself.
The latter degenerate into people
Of lcaners and dependents. The
former gradually accumulate u COM
petence for themselves M u provision
for the future. They identify them
selves Will, institutions having MS
their central purpose mutual help
and progress. The experience Of New
Zealand should be warning to those
who are today 40 ilsistent rs to those
forms Of government help in which
the individual is not required to pay
an equivalent Tor what he receivcs.-
