In the King county Superior Court.
the Titus faction recently obtained 4
temporary injunction against W. II.
aynIck, the Secretary of the other
faction of the Socialist party of this
State. An appeal was taken and
the bond fixed at 81, 800. In the
meantime, Il referendum vote will be
taken this month to determine the
controversy between the two fac
tlcns. DR.. Titus, for Il number of
years IN Seattle, edited Socialist
newspaper i'll which he frequently
denounced injunction by the "Capi-
tallstic Courts. The majority of
the local Socialists in Olympia are
decidedly opposed to the tactics of
the Titus crowd.
The City Council, on motion of
Mr.. Q Common, Monday night, moved
that the cost of hawker's licenses be
increased from 80 to 500 per day,
and that they be restrained from
selling on vacant lots in the business
district, well as on the public streets,

bracing these points. Lest enthusi-
asm may defeat the object, we sug-
gest that it might be well to read up

making of licenses prohibitive in the
endeavor to do the work rel. Such

Railroad Commission to give our bu-

and Eastern mail. If the appeal is
sustained there is one recourse that
is available and generally effective.
That is Il boycott. Olympia is the
best paying station on the loop.
1t may, with little systematic effort
be made the pooreSt-paying. Grasp

to censure that comes in the form of
