This sentiment of fair play" in
politics is one of the big inheritances
of the English people and their de-
scendants and is one that should be
emulated. In this country there is
too often a tendency to disregard
this characteristic of the English
electorate and resort to scurrilous,
underhanded and unfair means to
carry a contest. Practices of this
kind always tend to obscure the main
issue in the contest and the outcome
is never viewed with the same salts
faction, nor are the results what are
usually anticipated. 1t will be of in
terest to observe the workings of
this English sense of fair play in the
battle between the liberal
and the conservative forces with
new and inexperienced monarch on
the throne.

"FAIR PLAY" IN ENGLISH POLL
TICS.

Party contests In Great Britain
usually are exciting and spectacular
When a great issue Is at stake, the
participants frequently become in
tensely in earnest and resort to prac-
tics which are characterized by vio-
lence and intimidation. This was the
case the last election when the out
come was recognized to have an i'm
portant bearing on changes in the
fundamental law.
The death Of King Edward coming
at a time when party feeling runs
high and when important constitu-
tional changes are pending may have
a tendency to disconcert the plans
of the liberal ministry in its attack
on the house Of lords. But while the
English people feel strongly on po-
1itieal questions and fight with a
fenaefty seldom shown by other peo-
piles, their action is always charac-
fsrized by sense of fair play"

May Be a Costly Convention.

The opening gun in the battle
which is to be waged in this state
between the old line republicans and
the progressives, or insurgents, was
fired at the meeting of the state GEN.
trail committee at Seattle Wednes-
day. The old line men had every
thing their own way and issued a
call for a state convention to be held
in August, more than month before
the primaries. This action is looked
upon by the insurgents as an attempt
to deprive them of representation at
the convention and to prevent the
insertion in the party platform of
planks favorable to their interest.
The primary law provides for the Sc
lection of new committeeman in Sep
TENDER and the action of the present
committee in assuming to take
charge of the affairs of the party be-
fore the primaries may be resented
by many of the voters. The 'old
line" mems experiment may prove
to be a costly one.-Spokane Chron-
icle.

FIGHTING FOR THE PUBLIC
HEALTH.

The facts brought out in the re-
cent exhibit in regard to the cure
and the prevention of communicable
disease have reasonably stirred the
minds of people generally in this
community, and many are asking
how the desired results are to be
obtained. Care On the part of each
person for himself alone is not suf-
ffcient. People naturally look to the
experience of other communities to
find out what they have done to bet
ter the conditions of human exist
ence. Other cities have almost
wiped out typhoid and tuberculosis
by establishing large and efficient
boards of health whose business it
is to work for the maintenance of
the public health. Many municipal
tiles have discovered that this can
not be left to the individuals, for
where mems business will be inter-
fered with they will work for their

of others. The manufacturing of
clothing in unsanitary shops will
continue unless society through it's
officers interfere. Laborers hard
pressed will work in these places to
their own as wellas others detriment.
A farmer with tubercular cows or
with a family that has in it men,

will sell his infected milk for the use

are on record where milk dealers
have sold infected milk.
A health department with full
power to investigate, test and con-

lions that affect the public health
has been found to be absolutely nee
essary in European as well as Amer
lean cities. 1t is the business of the

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS
Information Needed.

To prevent the spread of tubercu-
losis is to say that the battle against
this malady is won. The care of the
incurables as an act of humane char
ity is the business of the state, where
poverty prevents the victim from
procuring proper treatment; but the
greater and more important aim, so
far as the public welfare is involved,
is prevention, which is largely a mat
ter of education. 1t is an education
to be vigorously undertaken by the
newspapers, in the church and even
in the school.-Portland Telegram.

Farewell Party

One of the quiet but none the less enjoyable social events of last week was the stag party rendered by Dr. z. J. Loussac to his retiring partner, James Fay, who has severed his connection with the drug firm of Fay & Loussac to go to Southeastern Alaska.
 The affair was held in the rear of the drug store on the night of July 3O and was attended by eleven guests, who were entertained after the manner of the Knights of the Round Table who were reported to have been strong for ''the stein on the table and good song ringing clear"
 There were Welch rabbits. and rare tidbits that were not Welch. There were bottles of stuff that loaned and then more bottles of stuff that sparkled, while through it all, there was story, reminiscence and good cheer. Though it may be true that some of the guests were around in the morning for q bromo-seltZer, it's cinch that they all enjoyed themselves.
 Those present were: Messrs Snow, H. l.. Jaffe, Isadore Goldsteiu, Henry Roden, Galpin, F. w. Rooney, J. Fay, J. Tiezac, Dr. Wortmann, Claude Mer- chant al d Dr. Loussac.
