The Tribune likes to welcome home
anyone as glad to be home as ii. IL.
Jameson He is glad to be back an
knows why he is glad. 1t is because
Lynn en- IS the incest place he knows
of. and business is as good here as
any place he knows of.
He has travelled over many east
elm states. He has been in many
other towns. He has seen nothing to
make him dissatisfied with the Nook
sack Valley, and with Lynden. or
course this isn't a surprise. You ex-
pected it and so did l. We have a
good idea that this is one of the hap
piest locations on earth. But, every
new confederation of our opinion is
pleasant to hear.
Look for the good that you may
find and you'll hardly have time to
see the bad.
The beautiful green lawns that have
come as result of the recent rains
are but an evidence of what We may
have another summer, now that we
have a water system.
]. H. Brown is a very clever news
paper correspondent located at Olym-
pia. We know that some newspapers
pay him good hard cash for his work
and we have never expected that he
would willingly work for anyone for
nothing.
This week the Tribune received a
complimentary" news letter from
him. We presume the same "compli-
mentary' letter has been sent to every
weekly in the state.
The letter is cunningly worded item
analiZing the state treasurer's report
in such manner as to prove (D that
the states financial solvency depends
on liquor licenses or Increased" direct
taxation.
We are sometimes sorry we are of &
suspicious nature but we are.
First, we wondered who paid Brown
for his letter.
Second, we wondered who numo
graphed it and paid postage to mail i
to all the newspapers.
Third, we wondered why it came
marked Complimentary" and no
''paid advertising"
Finally, we concluded we would no
publish it.
IT the saloon interests feel that the!
are being oppressed, and if they will
acknowledge that they cannot afford t.
pay for the space, and if they will come
out in the open, they may have a hear
ing in the Tribune. We sometime
think wo are too fair. If the devil him
self should ask for chance to defent
himself in the Tribune we suspect HI
would get it. We'd expect him to pa,
for it if he had the money, but if he wa
broke we suspect he would get it any
way.
But the devil would have to sign hi
own name. We wouldn't print his de
tense if it came under the guise of new
matter from special correspondent.
II any of our readers are reall,
anxious to read this ''complimentar!
correspondence from Olympia" we pre-
dict they will find it in most of thu
state dailies of Wednesday and in few
of the weeklies of this week.
