BY WAY OF THE STATE
CAPITOL TO THE WHITE HOUSE

Including the present Chief Magis-
trate' there have been twenty-six
Presidents of the United States. Wash
ngton of course, had never been Gov
ernOr of Virginia. John Adams had
never been Governor Of Massachusetts.
Jefferson had served two years as
Governor of Virginia during the Re-
~Voluhonary war, but the fact had no
immediate relation to his election as
President t~wenty-six years later. Mad
ison was not and Monroe was Cover
nor. of Virginia, but in Monroe's case
six years in the State Department
interviewed. John Quincy Adams and
Andrew Jackson did not go through
the State capitol to the White House.
Jackson's heir. Van Buren,. was for a
brief period Governor Of New York:
as in Monroe's case six years elapsed
before he became President. William
Henry Harrison held the title Of Gov
ernor only by appointment in the Ter
ritOry of Indiana nearly forty years
before his election as President. Tyler
was Governor of Virginia in 1926, fif-
teen years before H~arrison's death
gave him the succession. Polk was
elected Governor in 1889 and Presi-
dent five years later. Zachary Taylor's
career had been military. Fillmore
had never been GoverOnr. The same
is true of Franklin Pierce, James
Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln. An
drew Johnson had been Governor of
Tennessee eight years before he suc-
ceeded Lincoln. Grant was never Gov
ernor. Hayes defeated William Allen
for Governor of Ohio in 1875, the year
before the Republicans nominated him
for President. Neither Garfield nor
Arthur had been Governor of his
State. Grover Cleveland was elected
Governor of New York in 1882, and
in 1884 President Of the United States.
Benjamin Harrison had nee run for
Governor and had been defeated. Nc
Kinley was Governor Of Ohio in 1891
and again in 1898, and President in
1896. Roosevelt was Governor OF
New York, Vice-President and Presi-
dent. Taft's road to the White House
was through the judiciary and the
Federal executive departments.
1t will be observed that in the politi-
cal careers of the twenty-six Presi-
dents contained in the foregoing list
the only instances where the Cover
norship of a State a properly be
regarded as the stepping stone to the
higher office, in the sense in which
it is regarded at the present time by
several estimable and more or less DIS
tinguished a%spirantS in both parties
are those Of Hayes, Cleveland and Nc
Kinley. Here the advantage Of posi-
ton and the direct sequence Of events
are unmistakable. Mr.. Roosevelt
case is not put in the group with che
cases Of Hayes, Cleveland and Nc
Kinley because it does not obviously
belong with them.
That is three in t~wenty-six, but the
tenderness Of the ratio will discourage
no statesman who hopes to be Presi-
dent by first becoming Governor.

Our men and women in the main are
broad-minded and TAX a large inter

effect for good in the selection Of party
candidates and in the passage Of need
ed laws. Not only in the woman vote

tests where moral issues are at stake.
but the fact hat they are permItten
to vote enables them to bring IN
fuence to bear on men IN other ways.
It has been pointed out that Women
vote in National elections with their
husbands and fathers and that they
are apt to be swayed by prejudice IN
local elections. but there has never
been a time in my experience when

any measure which would not pear the

iaboring men, who have followed
the operation Of this system.
The company submits its plan to
the board of public works and city

secured this, then asks the right to
install the work itself. This is also
granted, and it is then left with the
company to go to some cut rate

In this way the obligation to pay
the city scale is sidestepped, as
under a private contract there is no
privilege given the city of inspect
ing the books of the company.
The lot purchasers, however, are
charged full price for the improve
ments thus made, based on the
highest scale of wages paid in the
city.
A petition of this character has

FARMERS MAKE NEW MOVE

Back to the simple life!" That
seems to have become the slogan of
the farmers union, to be practically
applied, and speedily, too, if the en-
deavors of this great organization
Of nearly 100000 members bear
fruit.
The present high prices of neces-
saries of life in the cities are hav-
ing the double effect of checking
the migratory spirit among farm
ers' sons, and causing many of
those who have already gone to the
city to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
returning to the scenes of their
childhood in the hope of becoming
Independent.
The scientific farming" that Sec
rotary Wilson. Roosevelt and others
have been talking about is going to
be doomed by the farmers union
till the COWS come home" That
organization intends to establish an
agricultural school in every state
and every county if possible. These
schools are to serve as primary
grades, in spreading information
among the farmers generally, and
training the young men especially
in scientific production.

The crest of the eastern high
pressure has moved to the middle
of the Atlantic coast and this, to-
gether with the influence of areas
of moderately low pressure now re-
spectively near Lake Superior and
over western Texas, has resulted in
general and considerable rise of
temperature eastwardly from near
the eastern slope of the Rockies.
High pressure, with crest over Mon
tana, prevails from the Pacific as
far east as middle Canada, eastern
Nebraska and Arizona. Excepting
considerable fall of temperature
in the northern part of the Rockies,
with cold wave in Alberta, and
much higher temperatures in Utah
and Wyoming, temperature changes
in general from the Pacific to the
eastern slope Of the Rockies have
not been of much importance. The

HIGH TARIFF, INCREASED DE

DUCTlON CAUSE 1T.

Because of the operation of the
new tariff law, the increased de
mand and the scarcity of the raw
material there has been an advance
of so per cent in the cost of furs
in Spokane.
The greatest raise has been in
American furs, which have gone uI
in proportion to the raise in the
tariff rates.
The production of native Amer
lean furs is falling off as the coun
try is filling up, and it has caused
scarcity in this line of pelts as
compared with former times" said
a Spokane dealer today.
people will never buy furs as
cheap again as they once did, un
less all tariff is removed and the
| foreign grown raw furs are admit
ted with the payment of much less
duty than at present. The advance
in the retail prices has not been as
sharp as in the wholesale, owing
to the fact that some stores have
good stock of furs bought on the
lower market. But it will not be
long until the retail price must
rise to meet the increase made by
the jobber."

Sauerkraut has gone up S
cents on the gallon, from rs to
80 cents, and the supply of
home grown horseradish is ex-
hausted-these are conditions
that have just arisen in the To-
cal pickle market.
Inquiry at the Union Park
pickle factory elicits the infor-
nation that it is importing 1900
pounds Of horseradish from St.
Louis today. When the local
supply was short heretofore the
pickle company turned to Ore
gon. Now complaint has been
made that the Oregon horse
radish is not hot enough and to
get the real thing in this line it
has been necessary to go to St.
Louis, where German garden
ers cultivate horseradish as a
business.
