trust him with the office of governor of the
state. These are plain words, not prompted
by malice, and who will say they are not
true? The men who will now urge Mr.
Hodge to run for governor are not his
friends-they cannot be under present con-
ditions.
The pure food adulterators of the country
have been after the scalp of DR.. Wiley, the
head of the government pure food depart
ment, and his superiors, Secretary Wilson
and the encouragement, recommended his
retirement for the good of the service. Pres
ident Taft got cold feet and refused to be
a part to the program, and DR.. Wiley re-
mains. The congressional investigation
showed lot of nasty crooked work and
undetermined embarrassing with DR..
Wiley, the victim. When DR.. Wiley and
President Roosevelt declared that blended
whiskey should not be sold under the name
of whiskey, it seems that President Taft set
aside the ruling and that is why the adulter-
ated stuff can now be sold under false
name Whiskey drinkers may be interested
in knowing what DR.. Wiely has to say of
the blend, and here it is
Never drink blended whiskey. Always
drink it straight, and if it is too strong,
dilute it with good water. The notion that
blended whiskey is merely a mixture of two
or more different kinds is all a mistake. AS
a matter of fact, blended whlskey is simply
cheap, bad whiskey doctored up with
spirits"
When a newspaper gets it so bad that the
sheriff of King county is criticised for Civ
ing the prisoners under his charge plenty
of good wholesome food, I want to be count
ed out of the game. Many of the inmates
of the county jail are awaiting trial. many
have cases on appeal, while others are serv-
ing time under frivolous judgments, and
among these are some who ought to be turn
ed free and who finally will be. There are
some among these prisoners who are of re-
spectacle parentage and many who are ans
wering for the first misstep. To pen these
men up and half feed them would be cruel
shame, and am astonished that any paper
would advocate it. When Edward Cudihee

THOMAS HENRY CARTER, former
United States senator from Montana and
heavy Seattle investor, died in Washing
ton, d. c., last Sunday. Senator Carter was
a most pleasing talker, and once when he
happened to be in Seattle, when the Wash
ington delegation was given reception on
its return from Washington, D. c., he, too,
spoke and just simply took all the glory
from the home talent, which was made up
of Piles, Humphrey and Jones. He was of
the old school and went down and out at
the last election.
DEED H. MAYFAIR, editor of the Leav-
enworth Echo, says of Mr.. Trimble: Who

correct The greatest opposition that has

to be his riches If everybody who has
riches got them in the same way as did Mr.
Trimble, then there would be no excuse Tor
pointing the finger of shame at the man
who has acquired great riches. Mr. rumble
got his riches by square dealings and'th

ton for the governorship, and we do not
doubt for minute but that if he enters
the race he will make most interesting

she conf led to him her secret ambi-
Jon of one day getting out of the
back woods into the beautiful world
when she should have learned how to
lake care OF, herself.
Each letter was ~noticeably better
than the one before, for lilly strug-
gled desperately to improve, and the
man who had had his W trials in
getting an education realized some
thing of what this woman-child was
passing through. Gradually Joe be-
came for lilly the hero Of all her ro-
mances, the living embodiment of all
her dreams.
1t was not until lilly was hired to
teach the village school at the fork
Of the road that her parents began to
see that her book-madness had its
method. The money lilly earned
teaching took her to the High School
In the village at the foot of the hills.
where she made astonishing progress
and won the approval of her instruct
prs. Joe wrote regularly. He sent her
gifts of books and trinkets dear to a
girlish heart. In many other ways he
helped her, for he was beginning to
be a man of influence.
When she graduated he sent her In a
wonderful box under layers of fine
white tissue paper an exquisite en-
broidered robe ready to be made up
with gloves, shoes, silk stockings and
IA fan-an outfit which the daintiest
girl Of his acquaintance would have
been glad to posses. And lilly was
glad, for she had been troubled TO
know where her frock was coming
from.
The letter of gratitude she sent her
cousin Joe only feebly expressed her
perfect joy. If only he could come to
see her e the dress on that one
greatest day of her life! But Joe
could not come. for that day he had
his famous case to try.
That fall lilly began to teach In the
High School where she had
Tor college. In the years that had
passed since that ~eventful day when
Joe's books came to her there In the
backwoods, many changes had come

1t all began for Tilly the day her
father came home from the village
with a box and a letter for her. The
box held books, worn volumes mostly,
the overflow from Joe Mackintosh's IL
brary. and the letter told how he had
happened to send them to lilly.
Joe Macintosh was first cousin to
Tilly's father. though considerably
younger and a promising lawyer in
the city. Once when lilly was a little
thing of 5 he had come up into the
hills with a companion for two days
fishing and had lodged at the poor
cabin In the clearing. lilly remem-
bered him. And it seemed he remem-
bered her. for he had sent her the
books.
Tflly's mother was a stout, slattern-
ly woman and her father a hard
working man who for all his hard
work seemed not to accomplish any
thing. Neither of them knew more of
the worlds affairs than did the wood
chucks that whistled on a sunny after
noon in the high, slanting pasture.
Il wish the land that manid kept his
readin' trash to home. The young one
won't be worth her salt to help with
the chores till she gets EN- all read
through" grumbled the mother.
Tflly did not stop with reading them
through; she read them again and
again. she studied and pondered them,
for there was much she did not un-
derstand. Through them she came to
feel that she had a friend In their
giver Of whom she must never lose
sight.
Joe's letter had been brief and
simple. 1t babe her tell him whether
the box had arrived safely and how
she liked its contents.
Tilly spent happy hours in writing
a reply and received an answer to her
wistful little letter of thanks and graf
ftude-a generous epistle which point
ed out to her many things about her
books which otherwise might have es-
capped her.
That vas the way In which their
long correspondence started. Tilly
saw that here was someone who could
understand, who cared for the same
things she did. She poured out to
Joe her aspirations and hopes and I'm
o%ressions; she asked him how she
should speak and act n dress; and
