GRAIN BAG CONTRACT LET
Tacoma Firm Makes Lowest Bid to
Farmers Cooperative Union,

Six bids for furnishing approximate
ly two million sacks to be required the
coming season by the members OF the
Farmers' Union in Walla Walla. Col
umbia and Umatilla counties were
received at the annual grain sack
meeting of the organization, held Sat
urday afternoon in Walla Walla and
after careful consideration the con-
tract was finally let to ox-Barnett,
who compose the Independent Grain
| Company Of Walla Walla, local rep
resentatiyas OF P. J. Fransiola of Ia
| coma.
Although neither the successful bid.
der nor the farmers themselves Will
make known the bid at which the
contract was let, it is understood
saws the Bulletin, that the bags will
be sold to the farmers at DAT 2,
which is the cost price. This would
be about 3. 81 1-2 f. C. b. Walla Walla,
as the freight rate is about 40 cents 9
hundred pounds in carload lots.
This price is less than the figure at
which they were furnished to the
farmers last year by the Kerr-Gifford
company, who secured the contract
at 6. 80 f. 0. b. Walla Walla, and is
lower than the price placed this year
on the sacks manufactured at the
state penitentiary, which are to be
sold at six cents each or $3.50 per
hundred in carload lots.
Besides the Independent Grain COM
pany, which secured the contract,
the other bidders were the Interior
Warehouse company. Kerr-Giiford
company, Ames- Harris company, Benz
is Brothers Bag company and @. w,
Nelson, the latter being the Washing
ion state grain agent for the Farmers
Union.

FOR CHURCH UNION
Continued from Page /.


a union could be consummated, it would
tend to promote efficiency as well as
fellowship. At present two organiza-
tions have to be Differed and financed.
when one would suffice, and much
money that now is spent on local
work could be turned into the channel
of the larger and direct field OF the
kingdom.
/ am not prepared at this time to
specify as to the exact terms on which
such union could be effected, though
as matter of fact and beyond all
question, Jesus Christ, Himself, must
form the basis and centre OF any such
union. AS for the local terms OF
union, that would have to be decided
by committee appointed for the pur-
pose, from each church. as far as |
am personally concerned, am coming
to have much broader conception
of the kingdom Of God than ever Ee-
fore. The cross OF Christ was never
more precious or vital to me and my
conception of salvation, but many OF
the things / once thought to be very
important. are becoming OF less i'm
port in view of the great and terrible
need of unsaved men and women im-
mediately about me. and of the mill
ions stretching ont from where ! stand
to the outer rim of the world.
1t will not be long before we are
standing in the presence Of the Master
of men aAd angels. and methinks Hls
question then will not be so much,
"What was your theology?" but
"What have ye done?"

A Prayer for Newspaper Men

0 thou great source of truth and
knowledge, we remember before
thee the writer's of books, the news
paper men, and all whose calling it
is to gather aud winnow facts and
to inform the people. Grant them
determined love for honest work
and a staunch hatred for the max
Jog of lies, lest they peryert the
judgments of our nation and teach
us to call light darkness and dark
ness light. Suffer them not to drug
she mind of our people with false
hood and prejudice. Since the sani-
ty and wisdom Of nation are in
their charge, may they count it
shame to set the baser passions Of
men on fire for the sake of gain.
Grant them boldness to turn the
unwelcome light on those who love
the darkness because their deeds
are evil. Put into their hands the
sword of truth, and make them
worthy sons of the cham pions of
the people in past who held truth
TO be a holy thing for which men
should die. Make them realize that
they have public function in the
commonwealth, and that their coun-
try may be saved by their courage
and undone by their cowardice and
silence.
Grant them the heart of manhood
to cast their mighty influence with
the forces which make the people
strong and free, and il they suffer
loss may they rejoice in that as
proof to their own souls that they
too have been friends of the common
man and servants of the higher law

The Farmer on Top
the State

In AN address before the Grad
dock Terry Shoe Company sales
men in Lvnchburg a few days ago.
C. G. Craddock. salesms nager, in
an address referred to the high
cost of living and made the point
that the farmer is not affected by it,
as what he sells has advanced in
price more than what he buys.
For example. ten years ago the
farmer had to sell so pounds of cot
TON in order to buy pair of 49,
shoes Today he can buy them
with the money received from the
sale of % pounds of cotton. Ten
years ago it took 10 bushels OF corn
to buy a pair Of $3.50 shoes. To-
day, 6 bushels of corn will purchase
them. Where 81 bushels of wheat
were required to buy pair of shoes
ten years ago. 81 bushels will an
swer the purpose now. This the
farmer can buy more with his pro-
ducts now than he could q decade
ago, despite the advance in prices,
due to the fact that the price of the
articles produced by him has gone
up higher than the price Of articles
he consumes.

THE COLONEL IN THE WEST
Roosevelt's Striking Paragraphs
Osawatomie Speech

Colonel Roosevelt announced his
political creed last Wednesday at
Osawatomie, Kansas. The occasion
was the dedication of park to John
Brown who led an insurrection in
Virginia for the forcible freedom of
slavery and who was tried and
hanged at Harper's Ferry half a
century ago.
Among the striking declarations
Of Colonel Roosevelt, who was the
principal speaker, were the follow
ing:
The true friend Of property, the
true conservative. is he who insists
that property shall be the servant
and not the master of Common
wealth.
l stand for the square deal But
when l say that am for the square
deal l mean not merely that / stand
for fair play under the present rules
OF the game, but that | stand for
having those rules changed so as to
work for more substantial equali-
ty of opportunity and of reward for
equally good service.
The Constitution guarantees pro-
lection to property, aud we must
make that promise good. But it
does not give the right of suffrage
TO any corporation.
1t is my personal belief that the
same kind and degree OF control and
supervision which should be exer-
cised over public service corpora
tions should be extended to combi-
nations which control necessaries
OF life, such as meat, oil and coal, or
which deal IN them on an important
scale.
believe that the officers, and es-
pecially the directors, OF corpora
tious should be held personally res
pons BILE when any corporation
breaks the law.
No man should receive a dollar
unless that dollar has been fairly
earned Every dollar received
should represent a dollars worth
OF service rendered. The really
big fortune. the swollen fortune, by
the mere fact of its size, acquires
qualities which differentiate it in
kind as well as in degree from what
is possessed by men of relatively
small means.
One of the fundamental necessities
in a representative government
such as ours is to make certain that
the men to whom the people dele
gate their power shall serve the
people by whom they are elected
and not the special interests. be.
lieve that every national officer,
elected or appointed, should be for
hidden to perform any service Oh
receive any compensation, directly
or indirectly, from interstate cor
porations, and a similar provision
could not fail to be useful within
the State.

POINDEXTER FOR SENATOR
Son of Rockbridge Fights Trusts
and Interests"

Golfers National Weekly has the
following to say OF Congressman
Miles Poindexier OF the State Of
Washington, who is a son of Mr.
William B. Poindexter OF Greenlee,
Rockbridge county:
Just as in California the victory
of Johnson, Kent, and others was
won on a frank campaign against
government by railroads, or other
big corporations, so in the State OF
Washington the same issue is pre-
dominantN Congressman Poindex-
ter, who is the only candidate for
Senator not put forward by the in
terests, analyses the situation bold
lv. His platform is the equal pro-
lection of the law for all citizens,
equal opportunity for all classes,
and a check to those interests
which seize public agencies. He
declares that certain individuals in
the United States. through the col
Ossal magnitude OF their fortunes,
control the industries and financial
power OF the milton. He does not
object to wealth legitimately accum-
ulated, but be does see an evil in
the Standard Oil fortunes, built up
out of rebates and special favors; in
sugar trusts or steel trusts. built
up under the shelter of the tariff
constructed especially for them; in
the Hartman estate, created large
ly by stock jobbing; in the Weyer.
haeuser and Guggenheim fortunes,
made possible by unlawful acquisi
tions of the public domain.
He points out that bile the Sugar
Trust has been taxing the Ameri-
can people for the amount of the tar
if, it has at the same time been rob
bling the Government by false
weights. and that the Steel Trusr
purchased the Carnegie Stee
Works, estimated by Carnegie as
worth eightv-fve millions, for foui
hundred and thirty-fve millions,
depending upon its influence will
the machine in the Senate and tht
House so tt protect il by tariff that
it could force the public to pay div
idends upon five times it's actua
value.
AS he says, with perfect truth
the Republican Party promised {

actually called in experts of the Steel
Trust, Sugar Trus6, and cotton anG
wool manufacturers to decide wha
tariff should be placed on their pro
auctions. The Insurgents stOoC
