THE PROPOSED DEMOCRATIC
CONFERENCE.

The suggestion Of Governor Croth-
ers that the leading Democrats of the
county meet i'm Baltimore City and
after a conference decide upon plans
for the fight two years hence 10 wise.
From present indications this meet
ing will be held and good results are
expected from it.
1t is by the friction that comes from
the clash of ideas and interchange of
views the truth is found. 1t il by
contention that right is upheld; and
this free interchange of opinion of the
leading Democrats of the country
will surely result in a visit plan of
campaign being adopted.
The fundamental principles of the
Democratic Party are right; they ap-
peal to the people and the public
sense of fairness. The difficulty in
the past has been that there has been
no thoroughly organized effort to
give to them life and vitality.
This conference should accomplish
this result Governor Crothers and
the gentlemen associated with him
and the Baltimore Sun are entitled
to praise for their disinterested eff
fort to bring the leaders of thought
in the Democratic ranks together,
and if the meeting results in har-
mony and an organized effort for the
party's good, it will presage a DEM
ocratic victory i'm 1912.

Farmers who have occasion to
draw up contracts, agreements, notes,
checks, etc., should remember that
the safest plan is to employ pen and
ink for this work-never use lead
pencil. The law will recognize the
lead-pencil, but the writing may be
erased too easily, and the amount of
terms may be changed. If pen and
ink are not at hand when drawing up
such papers, use an indelible pencil.

A Big Question.
Xmas With the kaiser's Family

Berlin, Dec. 22.-For the first
time the Emperor and Empress are
TO celebrate Christmas this year
without all of their children taking
part in the family gathering. The
absence of the Crown Prince and
Princess, who are travelling in the
far East, will cause some curtail-
ment in the festivities of the imper-
ial family, though for the most part
the old customs, including the set
ting up of the Christmas trees in the
Shell Hall of the palace at Potsdam,
will be observed as usual. This
week all of the members of the i'm
perial family have been busy buy
ing gifts for one another and for
their many relatives at other Euro
pean courts. The Emperor has ar
ticles brought to him from which
he makes his selections, but the 9TH
er members of the family prefer to
visit the shops the same as other
folk.

Negro To Be Executed.

Moundsville. w. Va, Dec. 22-
Tomorrow is the day fixed for the
execution in the state prison here
of Thomas Wayne, the negro MUIR
derer, whose trial and conviction at
Fayetteville last fall attracted CON
siderable attention. Wayne's crime
was the murder of Mrs. John Ailiff
at Quinnimont last August. The as
sailant after beating ner husband
into Inconsistencies murdered the
woman. After the negro was cap
tured by the authorities he was hur-
ried from town to town to escape
lynching. He was finally landed in
the Charleston jail after a four days
trip across the mountains. Four
companies of militia were called out
at the time to preserve order.

Invoked to the Same Ends.

trouble in securing an appropriation
amounting to 100000 up to ST.
100000. The fact that the govern
ment furnished the money for the
construction of the dam across the
Mississippi river between ST. Paul
and Minneapolis, for the sole pur-
pose of the water power to be de-
veloped ought to be a strong argu-
ment in favor of the development of
an open river scheme in the Column
bia, with the question of water pow
er and the consequent development
of large areas or arid lands along
the Columbia.
State Aid.
During the last legislature there
was set aside $4,000 for open river
purposes. It is believed that $780,
600 ought to be secured by the state
the next session for this purpose
The question of an open river di-
rectly affects the following coun-
ties: Stevens, Ferry, Lincoln, Okla
hogan, Douglas, Chelan, Grant, Kit
titas, Yakima, Benton, Garfield,
Walla Walla, Columbia, Whitman,
Franklin and Asotin. While it af-
fects these counties directly, it
would also have a great effect on
the entire state. Spokane would be
greatly benefited by having this
f. n1viI
Bonding the Counties.
Another plan has been proposed
which might be worked out in a
much shorter time. This plan is to
bond the counties located on the
river to the amount Of $4,000
each. Then by securing an appro-
priation of 100000 from the leg
islature, a fund of 100000 would
be provided for early work. This
amount would go long way toward
building dam at Rock Island and
improving Priest Rapids.
A Big Question.
The question of an open river is
big enough that there are a num-
Der who believe that the CONNER
cial Club should take immediate &C
ton in regard to it, and if necessary
send a committee of its strongest
men to Washington for the purpose
of meeting with the rivers and har-
hors appropriation committee in
congress. 1t is probable that this
question will receive the early at
tention of the Commercial Club.

The recent interview in the Daily
World, given by c. Y. Francis, has
resurrected the question of an open
Columbia river from Canada to the
sea. During the past few days a
representative of this paper has
made it a point to discuss with a
large number of business men OF
this city the open river question
and how it might be accomplished.
The following different plans
have been suggested with more or
less discussion as to their advisa-
bility:
First-It is suggested that the
representatives in congress of the
states of Washington, Idaho and
Oregon, be induced to make a spe-
cial effort to secure an appropria-
ton for river improvement.
Second-It has been suggested
that an effort be made to secure an
appropriation from the legislature
during the coming session.
Third-It mas been suggested that
the several counties along the line
might appropriate or bond for a
certain amount to assist in this
work.

idea of federal aid seems to be most

'In the first place we wouldn't need

and grub on 200 right there. And, OF
course, a few improvements on the
river would save time, which in our
case would mean money. We would
not need so many separate cook outfits
and all that. Then, too, If we agreed
