Judge s. II. Prouty, candidate for
congress from the Seventh Iowa dis

the right side of every reform move

Hull, Judge Prouty has emphasized
the consistency of his alignment with
Senator Cummfns since the latter be-
gan his fight against the old organ

two men have always stood for GER
tain things which mean much to the
rank and file Of citizenship of both
races. As a result they have received
the support of this class Of voters:

A FEW QUERIES.
EDITOR OF THE STANDARD:

EDITOR OF THE Standard:
| desire to call attention to the
following:
Il am informed that a good quail
ity of soft coal costs the people of your
city portland, Oregon from SO to
$l2 per ton, and that coal Of equal or
superior quality could, If the mines
of Alaska were in operation, be laid
down at Portland at from 50 to 81
per ton.
The foregoing is found in the re-
ports of speech made in Portland,
Oregon, on the 18th day of August,
1910, by Secretary Baliinger
Does Secretary Ballinger believe
that the people of Portland will be
able to buy Alaska coal from either
the Cunni CHAINS or the Guggenheims
at savin /, of from 50 to 80 per ton,
if they are allowed to monopolze
Alaska coal fields? Would they not
put this extra So or 50 per ton into
their own pockets?
From the accounts ] have seen in
the papers, Alaska coal is easily ac-
cesSible, and can be cheaplv mined
(this is in accord with above quota
tom.
Would it not be safer for the gov
eminent to retain the title to Alaska
coal lands and allow the lowest bid
der to deliver the coal at Seattle,
Portland, Tacoma, Olympia and other
nlacpS than IN coll tho oool fiol6c to
private individuals and corporations
who will sell at present prices?
If the United States allows all its
remaining coal to fall into the
clutches of corporations, is it not
probable that the price will con tinue
to raise and that many poor people
who could pay the 81 and 81 per ton
will be unable to buy sufficient fuel?

Kind Words.

The fact that kind words are not as
numerous as pebbles on the beach,
makes the following tribute to Olym-
pia the more appreciated from its
rarity as well as truthfdlnesss. Had
it been written by the most Jealous
resident friend Of our beautiful little
city. il could not have been more
truthful and expressive The i. I. of
Monday is the newspaper entitled to
this credit for fairness. in an article
headed TO Boost Olympia, which
j rs fellows;
4 number OF the leading business men
and capitalist OF Olympia, owning the
largest holdings OF tIde lands III the CAPT
tai city, have organized themselves into
ii corporation, having for its purpose the
Improvement Of their tide land holdings
for securing as many new industries as,
posi- bic to locate there on the low priced
sites which will be made ayaible, and
generally TO advance the interests Of the
city in every possible wav.
Olympia has many advantages oil site
and location. Like all other Puget Sound
cities, Ii has a capaciOus and safe harbor.
That is no novelty. ii also. however,
has fairly level TOWNSHIP, which is a
and. further it has splendid
agricultural country behind it and around
in other directions. The town has never
doomed, and no one there has ever
sought TO encourage boom. 1t has
grown slowly, as compared with some
other places, but it is substantial city
and has quite a number of well-estab-
lished industries.
1T has room, however, for vast num-
Der of other industrial establishments.
1t has room in every sense. 1t has a
great area of land for factories which is
held at very low prices, and which has
every transportation advantage which
can be found anywhere.
When Olympia wakes up, and there
are present signs that it is doing so, there
is no reason why it cannot be made a
goodsized city doing large manufacture
ing and commercial business. 1t has
every possible advantage and no draw
backs, either of location, climate or any
thing else. The new company has a
splendid field to work in and those whom
it succeeds in drawing to the city and
embarking in industrial enterprises there
will never regret their action. For one
thing, they are certain to find them
selves located in one of the pleaeantest
places of abode that it has been their
fortune to strike.

BECAUSE of the destructive forest
fires OF the summer, attention is be-
ing called to the value of sheep graz.
ing on the forest reserves as a fire
preventative. 1t is held that by
browsing down the underbrush and
keeping the grass short between the
trees, sheep are q good insurance
against fires. Their trails, it is said,
make good fire lines. staying the pro-
gress OF the flames. In view of this
Summers costly experience with
forests fires. this problem will have
to be met by the Northwest States in
future or else immense natural wealth

TINE TO ACT.-President Taft has
called out Federal troops to assist III
fighting forest fires in Montana, Ida
no and Washington. 1t is hoIed
this project may be successful. It is
said fifty years ago, the Indians in
this Pacific coast country burned the
underbrush just before the begin
ming of wet weather in the Fall, and
sometimes just at the beginning Of
the dry season in the Spring. This
method pursued by the natives kept
the fires down and preserved the
forests. Why not employ the mill
tary to do work Of this character !?
This is matter of great public con-
Germ. Energetic action on an extern
sive and adequate scale is necessary
to preserve our timber resources. AS
long as the Federal branch of our
government has been so active in
conserving these resources. it should
employ its agencies to keep them in
tact.

How HAVE THE MONTY FALLEN =
Last Monday at a meeting of the
Republican State Central Committee
of New York, Theodore Roosevelt's
name was presented for temporary
chairman and lost by vote of 20 to
10, and Vice President Sherman was
suggested for that position and elect
ed by an unanimous vote. The COM
mittee selected Saratoga as the place
and Sept. 25th an the time, for hold
ing the State Convention. This
turning down in his own State and
by his own party, is at this time sig
nificant of the ruthless iconoclasm. of
ring rule. Mr.. Roosevelt's explana-
ton is as follows: ITO the various
persons who asked me whether
would accept the position of tempo
rary chairman of the State conven-
ton, l said that l would do so, il they
we're sure. after knowing my atti-
tude. that they desired me, because
my speech would be of such a charac-
ter that it might help if the commit
tee named the right kind of u man on
a clean cut, progressive program;
but that it would hurt if neither the
right kind of a man was named, nor
the right kind OF q platform adopted. "
In other words, he would accept if al
lowed to Boss the Committee work
which was alphabetically refused.

One Thing We Don't Like to See

Probably no one can surpass our
venerable Uncle Sam in riding or at
tempting to ride the press for free
notices OF anything he wants to
make public. If his Civil Service
Commission wants to hold an exami-
nation Tor clerks. electrotypers,
guards, elevator conductors, press
feeders, pressmen. printers, stenOg-
raphers, type writer's, railway mail
clerks, or letter carriers, type-writ-
ten form is sent out to the country"
press, stating the times and places
where they will be held, with a re-
quest for gratultOus service and an
intimation that it is a matter of in
terest as news. Surely it is, but so
is the fact that the merchant has laid
in new supply of goods, or that
somebody has dry wood for sale, or
that the trains or boats leave at a
certain hour, or somebody has realty
for sale, or where the lawyer or doc
tor may be found when wanted, and
a thousand other things which no.
body expects to be advertised for
nothing, and which contribute the
support which makes newspapers
possible.
Many of these people do not re-
fleet, because they do not know, that
many of the larger newspapers pay
for blank paper alone thousands of
dollars more annually than they re-
ceive from subscriptions, and that
the advertising is the very backbone
of their success in business. Uncle
Sam should be taught this fact. If
the service is worth the asking, it is
worth at least the cost of placing in
type and reasonable allowance for
the space it occupies.

of experience, makes liberal use of the
