with her own fitted to 1t, would make
for him a complete figure. She caught
her breath at the thought of how near
she had come to actually betraying

not to betray him.

WANTS BURKE
Eastern Washington Req ublicans Urged to
Unite in Support of the Strongest
Candidate for the United

FAIR TREATMENT IS ASKED
Western Washington Interests Demand
Retention of One Place in the Sem

Justice
FAIR TREATMENT is ASKED

To the Republicans of Eastern Wash
ington:
In western Washington Judge Thorn
as Burke is far in the lead OF any othe
candidate, and we appeal to you to as
sist in his nomination as United State:
senator. The people of western Wash
ington feel that, as matter of justice
and fairness, they should have one O.
the senators. Judge Burke left the
democratic party in 1896, when it de.
clared for free silver, and ever since
has been a consistent republican. He
is in the full vigor OF manhood, and
even those opposed to him must admit
that in point of ability he towers above
his competitors. Judge Burke is not q
reactionary. A firm believer in the
Roosevelt policies, an earnest support
er of President Taft, he is progressive
republican in the best sense of the
term. He is opposed to special inter
ests controlling. We quote from his
platform;
There is a widespread belief that
special interests exercise undue control
in legislation. No greater calamity
could happen to our country than that
such a belief should be well founded.
Our institutions are based upon the
principle of equal opportunity and Of
equal justice to all alike. Any special
interest that seeks to influence any de-
partment Of our government for the
purpose OF obtaining an unfair advan-
tage, should be treated as a public
enemy"
Many people believe that special
interests exercised undue control in the
passage Of our present tariff law. A
tariff commission, properly constituted,
which 1 favor, would tend to prevent
this. Not only, therefore, should our
tariff laws and all other laws be made
without undue influence from any quar-
ter, but they should be made in such
an open way that the people may see
and know that in the making OF the
laws of the country no interest is ia
vored above another-they are all
treated alike"
Judge Burke is in favor of curling
the trusts, and believes in government
al supervision of the great corporations
engaged in interstate commerce and
traffic. His views upon conservation
are sound. He believes in doing
everything possible to further the rec
lamation OF our arid lands, and is in
favor OF measures to prevent the mo-
nopoly OF coal lands and OF water power.
He is in favor of an open river, believ-

With changes of amethyst, crimson and

The Sun goes to bed like the King in a story
Told by poet of old.
Hush, baby, hushl
There's wind on the river
And he sings to the PUSHES that dreamily

Down where the ripples run by.
Hush, baby, hushl
Lambs are drowsily bleating
Down in cool meadows where daisy buds
grow;
And the echo, aweary with all day repeat

Has fallen asleep long ago.
Hush, baby, hushl
There are katydids calling
Good night to each other on every breeze
And the sweet baby moon has been falling

Till now she is caught in the trees.

Your way to the land that lies-no one

It is late, baby, late; Mothers tired with

Soon she will follow you there.

The fight against forest fires in the
northwest goes forward steadily, the
latest forces added to those ready TO
combat the ravages of fame being
those of the Great Northern railroad.
President Louis w. Hill has issued a
general order that the railroad section
gangs and other employees will be avail
able at any time for fighting fires, no
matter what the cause of their origin
This order places at the assistance of
the state officers and the Washington
Forest Fire association, hundreds Of
fire fighters, and will be of great value
in the campaign to save the timber OF
the northwest, during the present sea-
son, which is the driest in the history
of this section.

ing that the improvement Of the Co
lumbia and its tributaries will be Of
great benefit to every portion of the
state.
Judge Burke is in favor Of an effect
i've employers liability law, giving full
protection to employees. Upon the
Oriental question he says:
AS is perfectly we'll known to those
familiar with my life in this state, am
not now and never have been in favor
of the immigration Of coolie labor to
this country. have never uttered a
word nor written line in support OF
such policy.
"Of every hundred millions of dollars
of our prodocts that we send to the Far
East at least 80 per cent, or eighty
millions of it, will be paid in wages in
this country to American workmen."
Il believe in the policy which, while
fully protecting our people against the
immigration of coolie labor, will cult
vate and maintain friendly relations
with our neighbors across the sea, and
lay the foundation for a great COM
merce which will result in giving en-
ployment, prosperity and happiness to
millions of American workmen long
after the contentious of this hour are
forgotten and we shall have passed
away"
Judge Burke is not playing fast and
loose with the people of this state. A
candidate under the primary law, he
does not seek to repudiate that law.
He says:
Unless, as one of the republican
candidates for the United States sena-
torship from this state I receive plu-
rality of the votes cast at the primary
election, I will not seek or accept an
election at the hands of the legisla-
ture."
His manly stand and his broad grasp
of the great questions of the day
should commend him to your favorable
consideration. he is statesman, not
a politician nor an opportunist.
We appeal to your sense of fairness
and justice to assist in nominating
Judge Burke. If you believe one of
the senators should come from western
Washington, to vote for any other can
didate than Judge Burke would be to
vote against what you believe. We are
convinced that Judge Burke
would worthily represent the people of
the entire state, and we firmly believe
that the welfare of the state requires
his nomination.
