We would like to have him keep on

necessities of life we are willing to
make a cash contribution.
Another school year has begun, and
there are promises of the best school
Lynden ever had. The school board

it shl uld be organized support. The
Tribune doesn't know just what plans
the patrons association are making,
but it would like to see it plan to be
one of the liVest organizations in
the town. We believe the patron;
association is deserving of much cree
dit for the Improvements being made
for this year. There is much more
that can and should be done. The
Tribune believes both the hool
board and the teachers will gladly |
welcome their assistance and advice, |
The Tribune would also like t. see a |
suggestion that Mr.. French made last
spring put INTO effect. He suggested |
mat the association should secure
prominent lecturers and educators f.,
speak before the members monthly on
school subjects. 1t would not be an
expensive thing to do. Often the
Dest OF such speakers may be had for
their expenses. Their ideas are
worth more than that. We cannot
oe brad without listening to the
IDEAS of many, and We OF Lvnden
want to be broad.
Wien We came back from, tho
III uh1alns we were all primed to saw
iot OF nice things about Whipple as
candidate for he legislature. About
me lifst thing We heard was that he
had Withdrawn from the race. We
never will say anything nice abont hin,
now unless he dies.
ABOUT the second thing we heard
was that Bro. Lowe, Ct the Fern
oaie record had lost his plant in
fire. The report, we are glad to saw
was only partially true. The Record
came out the same week. though If
was trifle late and the editor saws
he VIII now put in bigger and bett
er press. Success to him.
incidentally We hear that the No,k-
sack News took advantage of our be-
Ing away to again tell it's readers
that the Tribune editor was mt hon
estly for Frank Bixby. That is the
first time We We're ever accused of
being for anyone dishonesty. Bixby
we believe is an h2nest man. SO are
we've don't believe that--we know
it. We-the Tribune and the editor
are for Bixby because we believe
he is honest, we believe he is capable,
and we know he is a successful man.
lie stands for decency. He is the
candidate of the common people again
st the candidate CT the organi-
cation. We believe Whatcom county
will be better off for trusting it's legal
business to Mr.. BiXby.
We have tried to say that in plain
English. Must it be said palmer to
convince the Reporter? If SO, We
can say it palmer. We can tell why
we are opp sed to the present prose-
cutor, if it is necessary. But it
seems to us tlrat when the people
are offered choice between two such
men as Bixby and Livesey it should
be unnecessary to fight the one to
elect the other. Mr.. Bixby is 50 far
ahead of Mr.. Livasey in everything
that counts that to tell why he should
be chosen should be all that is nee
essary.
I want to tell you that there was
never a stronger editorial written on
the coast than that of Erastus Brain
erd. editor of John l.. Wills ms Seatt
=. l.. on the withdrawal of Wilson
from the senatorial race. Mr.. Brainerd
takes occasion to say that the propri-
etor of the paper does not know what
he is writing and he signs his own
name to the editorial. | believe
with him that Mr.. Wilson was actuat-
ed only by unselfish devotion to his
party and to Seattle in Withdrawing
from the race, and that he has shown
more true patriotism than any other
candidate in the race on the West
Side. / cannot agree with him that
it is necessary to elect a West Side
man and a man who is loyal II the
