give years ago the Pacific Coast
lumber manufacturers rented a room
on the ground floor of the Lumber
Exchange, in Minneapolis, and had it
finished in fir and red cedar. The
amount of cedar used was compare
lively small, but it has stood the test.
The larger part of the finish in the
room, however, is fir. 1t was used
in the panelling, in the beamed cell
ing and in the floor, and the furni
ture in the room is also of fir. That
was to be expected. But the beams
Of the ceiling and the panels of the
wainscoting are as they were when
they were first placed there. This
means not only that they have not
been refinished, but also that they
have not needed refnishing. There
is no evidence of shrinking or swell
ing, of warping or cracking, and the
life and luster of the grain is as
beautiful as when the work was first
done
'This exhibit attracted great

Police Department

The report of the police committee
to the city council last night left
Mayor Bonn no alternative but to
change the force. The police depart
ment has lacked executive capacity
at it's head for a number of years,
with the customary result. In ap-
pointing Mr. Archer, it was good
business to give him a free rein in
the selection of officers Nor does the
action of the mayor and council re,
fleet upon all the present officers, who
are efficient patrolmen, and who may
be retained by Chief Archer, who is
given full control and who is looked
to to produce results-a more eff
cient police service for considerably
less money.

Income Tax Amendment

An important matter that will come
before the Washington Legislature
next month is the ratification of the
income tax amendment to the feder-
al constitution. There is every prob
ability that the amendment will be
ratified by at least three-fourths OF
the states at their coming sessions,
and the state of Washington should
not be slow in adopting an amend
ment that not only provides an equit-
able means of producing revenue, but
would prove absolutely necessary in
the event of a serious war.
The income tax carried the nation
safely through the Civil war, and was
not discovered to be in violation of
the constitution until invoked years
as a means of raising
funds to conduct the government from
those best able to pay, when COM
PLEASANT supreme court so decided
by a vote of five to four.

GRAYS HARBOR LOGGERS
DANCE IN TACOMA
Over $50 of the Woodsmen With
Their Sweethearts Trip the
Light fantastic

TACOMA. Dec. 27.-Over $50 young
loggers from the camps of Grays
Harbor together with sweethearts
and friends celebrated the second
day of Christmas" as the day after
Christmas is known in the Scandi-
navian countries, with an old fash
ioped dance at McDowell's hall at
saith street and Puget Sound avenue,
South Tacoma, last night. The affair
was unique, not only because of the
fact that the young loggers make Ia.
coma their home during the holidays,
but because of the length of the
dance program, it's varied and old
time numbers the original music by
Norwegian composers, played by an
odd orchestra composed of three vio-
linists and flute player.
Dancing began at an early hour
and lasted all night, the dancers
stopping their tripping of the light
fantastic at 6 a. m. Tuesday. Dur
ing the early morning hours lunch
was served to those who had been
springing light footedly and light
heartedly through the steps of the
waltz, Rheinlander polka, spring
dance. the "halling," the gallop, the
"skorske" and other dances. The af-
fair, promoted by Hans Jensen and
Carl Stave, both employed at Ho-
GUAM, promises to be an annual
Christmas affair hereafter.

The New Parties

1t would seem from all indications
that there are about to be born to
this country two new parties which
will occupy the place heretofore form
ed by Republicans and Democrats. 1t
does not seem as if the parties will
be known by new names, but they
will certainly stand for new princi
pies. The Republican party, as is
we'll known, is divided into the pro-
gressives and the standpatters. That
is to say. for the men that desire
certain reforms, the exact nature of
which they are not always decided
upon, and the men who wish to stand
pat upon the old features, of which,
however, the nation is evidently tir-
ing.
The division ii the Republican par
ty is paralleled in the Democratic;
there are progressive Democrats and
there are standpatters. From the
records of the last election it would
seem that though the progressives are
not at present numerically domi
nant, in so far as Congress is con-
cerned, yet that dominance is only
a matter of time. In the recent cleo
ton scarcely progressive went
down to defeat, while the standpat-
ter was often replaced by a Demo
crat Not that the nation believed
them to be any better than the Re-
publicans, but that a rebuke was in
tended to the Republican party. The
rebuke even included such a man as
Colonel Roosevelt. The standpatters
went down in such numbers that
Uncle Joe has been described as the
last survivor of the wreck!
On the other hand there are the
same striving elements in the Dem
ocratic party and it is probable that
within a very few years, possibly be-
fore the next congressional election,
standpat Democrats and standpat Re-
publicans will come together and form
party of their own, while the pro-
gressives of both parties will unite.
They must indeed, if they be sincere
in their convictions.
But just as in the days of the ia
collins and the Girondists, there are
progressives and progressives. Wis
consin Republicans go so far as to
demand government ownership and
operation of railroads and steam
ships in Alaska. Many of the Re-
publicans and Democrats in certain
states may like such radical things
as the initiative, the referendum, the
recall, nomination by small petitions
without primary or party machinery,
short ballots and the like, but in sew
eral Eastern and Middle States even
the progressive men (who may be
compared to the Girondists) cannot
be carried for such reasons. They
are in sympathy with tariff reform,
reasonably direct primaries, income
taxation, popular election of federal
senators, conservation of natural re.
sources, further regulation of monop.
oily; but here they draw the line.
Which party will prevail remains to
be seen, but it is the lessons of his
tory that the Girondists went down
before the JacObins.-Inland Herald.

Attorney General Simpson Files

Attorney General George T. Simp-

road and warehouse commission charg-

with demanding extortionate and IN
reasonable rates.
This is the first move in the fight
of Minnesota against the express tar

companies the same relation the rate
inquiry bears to the railroads."
The initial inquiry is directed
against the Wells-Fargo Express COM
pany. The decision to do this was
arrived at in conference some time
ago in New York. The Wells-Fargo
company was picked because it has
the largest mileage in the state,

The complaint against the Wells

BOOKER HELD RESPONSIBLE
Duluth Man Accused of Killing His
Stepfather.

A coroner's jury at Duluth has held
George Booker, a Zenith City team
ster, responsible for the death of his
stepfather Charles Clark, and Booker
was served with a warrant charging
him with first degree murder The
coroner's jury has been probing the
mystery surrounding the death of
Clark for several days, with the result
stated.
Booker and Clark hauled load of
machinery to French River recently.
The same evening Booker hauled the
dead body of his stepfather to Du-
luth,
Booker said that Clark had been
taken suddenly i'll and had died on
the road. The autopsy disclosed that
Clark had several broken ribs and one
penetrated the lungs. This led to the
coroner's acting and the arrest of
Booker, who is charged with having
caused his stepfather's death.
