FOOTBALL WORK EARLY.
Aberdeen Lads Will Again Dc
Summer Training to Fit Them
selves For Season

Thar Coach Sam Meyer will en-
GeaV0r to leave no doubt as to the
condition OF his football team at the
beginning Of the season next year,
is evidenced by the fact that his
team will begin training for the fall
games earlier than usual and plans
are already on foot among members
Of the squad for 1911 to take up their
training quarters on Pacific beach.
1t is readily conceded that Coach
Meyer as we'll as football enthusiasts
who have watched the record of the
team last year that the summers
work prior to the opening of school
last year was largely responsible for
the teams excellent condition The
novel method employed by Meyer in
training lis men Tor effective work
by erecting posts III the sand and
putting his squad through dodge"
practice has proven highly successful,
and will be used during the coming
training season While four Of last
years team will be lost by reason OF
graduation, this years team is eX-
pected TO be equal in strength to the
champions OF last year.

UPSET IN OLYMPIA.
ROLLS
Supreme Court Holds Figures Unjust
Compl ainants.

OLYMPIA, Jan. For the first
time in months the supreme court
has upset a street assessment roll.
and the change was brought about to-
day when a decision was handed
down directing that the roll for the
extension OF Highland street in Ever
EFT be vacated and a new commission
be appointed to draw up new rolls.
The superior court is reversed, says
the supreme court, because prop
erty holder has a right to have his
land assessed in proportion to tho
benefits and damages given adjoin
ing land and TO have his hearing be-
fore a fair Judge In this instance
the court declares the property hold
or had neither, as the commission as
sessed unplatted land, and frequent
ly lots on one side of the street would
be paying Sl.50 a front foot higher
than property across the street. and
the court declares there is no cues
ton but that the judges attitude
Influenced the commission in it's
findings.

QUESTION NOT SETTLED.


To the Press and the Public:
In regard to the action taken by
the council on the petitions on the
saloon question in South Aberdeen,
the committee appointed by the
South Aberdeen Improvement club
wishes to issue the following state
ment:
No question is settled until it is
settled right No action by the coun-
Gil will receive any but passing con
sideration unless the members show
that they are not afraid to go on
record by answering to the roll call.
This issue was deliberately avoided
at the last council meeting.
The real question at issue is not
whether the saloon is a desirable in
stitution or not but whether the rep
resentatiye people of a resident dis
trct shall or shall not have the right
to say whether a saloon shall be
maintained in their district or not
The reasons OF the various individ-
uals may be logical, social or moral,
but the wishes of the majority Of the
representative people should he re-
spected.
It is the determination of this or
eanization to do everything within
its power to accomplish this result.

Club.

since the handspring of trust sue
cess Is smoothness and oiliness Of
action, the big magnates have little
sympathy with blunders.
The Billionaires are confronted
with two alternatives. One of them
is: Taft cannot win" The other:
"LaFollette must not be nominated"
And rumor has 1t that they are look
ing to Justice Hughes as possible
solution of the difficulty that con-
fronts them.
Just as the trust magnates are mis-
taken In thinking that the universal
protest is based on dissatisfaction
with one man, rather than on the
principles for which he and his party
stand, so they are apt to be mistaken
in thinking they can put Hughes in
as substitute for Taft. Mr.. Hughes
it is pretty we'll understood, accepted
the justiceship which he now holds
with the tacit pledge to the president
that ne would not stand In the way
of the latter's denomination. 1t is
regarded as doubtful, therefore,
whether Mr.. Hughes would consent
to the use of his name.
Never were the standpatters con-
fronted with such a dearth of presi-
Dental timber. They have plenty
of men, but they fail to realize, de-
spite the lessons they received in the
democratic landslide a year ago, that
the country is demanding principles,
and not men. President Taft realizes
this, and publicly admitted it, in his
Chicago speech.
And this admission was the straw
that broke the back Of the Taft sup
porters.

Wall street is about to make
another mistake, If there is any basis
for the latest reports that are sitting
into political Washington. The Big
Business Billionaires who still cling
to the notion that they hold the pol
itical destiny of the nation in their
hands, have almost reached the con-
clusion that the spirit of protest
which lies over the country like a
blanket, is directed against Taft, the
individual, rather than against the
branch of the republican party of
which he is the head.
Hence they are working out plan,
If reports are to be believed, to
change the individual and retain the
policies which he and they believe in.
This means that movement Is on
foot to drop Taft overheard, in the
hope that they can put in as a SUBJ
stitute for him some man who will
serve them, as he has served them,
without doing 1t in such blundering
way. Associate Justice Hughes, ac-
cording to reports that have gained
unpretentious circulation in Wash
ington and New York, is to be the
man on whom the Taft mantle is to
fall If it lies in the power of "the
street" to bring about the transfer.
The Standpat republicans are dis
gusted with Mr.. Taft They have no
fault to find with any of his legisla-
tive or executive acts, for his course
in the White House, as far as those
things are concerned, has been
exactly to their liking. He gave
them high tariff, and he stood like
stone wall against the only threat
that was ever made to take that tariff
away from them. But he had made
fatal mistake of blundering, and

Twenty-Five of the state banking
associations of the country have
recommended the adoption of the re-
vised Aldrich plan of national bank
ing.
Section Z of the measure says:
"The national reserve association and
it's branches and the local associations
shall be exempt from state and local
taxation except in respect to taxes on
real estate"
Exemption from taxation will be
nice-for those interested. But the
common people who are annually
required to put up a certain amount
of their earnings to the tax gatherer
may not appreciate the discrimina-
tion.
Senator Aldrich and his plan will
bear watching.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, which
is composed of the skilled labor OF
the country, has recently bitterly
assailed socialism for its attempt to
break up the federation. He says:
"They would offer anything to
antagonize the labor movement as
militant force in this country. Their
idea is that the whole nation should
be brought to a state of poverty and
then by some cataclysm they would
come into their own and take charge
of society"

There will be 531 votes in the
electoral college to select the next
president. OF this number 266 will
elect. Democracy has 1877 sure votes,
leaving 70 necessary to secure from
doubtful states.
Three states would give this num-
ber-New York As, Ohio "a, Indiana
Is, total "a. But in other states
where democracy has made heavy
gains, some Of the following votes
may be secured: Wisconsin IL,
Iowa 13, Kansas 10, Nebraska 8,
California 13, Montana 4, North
Dakota 5, Oregon 5, Wyoming 3.
Juggle the vote any way you will,
it looks strong for a democratic presi-
dent. The Taft smile is too costly
to keep.

We Still Pay the
High Freight Rates

The facts in the freight rate
case are easily shown in the
following simple table, which
gives the freight classification,
the price in cents per 100 pounds
from Spokane to Colville on the
S. F. & ~, the price in cents per
100 pounds from Spokane west
ward on the Great Northern, and
the price in cents per 100 pounds
out of Spokane on the Northern
Pacific. The average is 800
discrimination against Colville:
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-11-25

The editor was in Spokane this
week. In line with his fool notion of
trying to secure rate reductions on
the s. F. & N. line, he spent good
share of his time looking into the
matter further. And although it
might be stated that this subject has
already been looked into pretty thor
oughly for nearly year, he found
few additional iniquities which had
previously been overlooked.
The main thing, however, which
will interest Stevens county, is the
fact that those in Spokane who KNOW
how to get things from the Great
Northern all say that the only way
we will ever get anything from this
road is to withhold patronage until
the rate is reduced. This method is
used in Spokane to get rates, to get
accommodations, to get correct
weights on shipments, to get speedy
deliveries, to get back overcharges,
and to get justice in any manner.
In small way the Stevens county
merchants are beginning to have their
transcontinental freight shipped over
some road other than the Great North
ern, east and west of Spokane. If
every merchant in the county would
instruct his wholesaler not to ship
over the G. N. when shipment can be
made over any other road, we would
get our rates here in hurry. If
every resident of the county, going
east, west or south from Spokane,
would refuse to buy ticket over the
Great Northern, our rates would be
here soon.. MONEY is what talks
with the G. N. This is what Spokane
shippers say, and it is reasonable
advice.
The railroad situation in the north
west is reported to be somewhat as
follows: The Great Northern is
owned by the Jim Hill interests. The
Northern Pacific is owned by the
Morgan interests. Hill and Morgan
are not known to have any particular
friendship, but Hill has been given
the nominal control Of the N. p. pro-
.vided he earns certain per cent of
interest on the roads stock. This
interest is earned, and all other busi-
ness is thrown in one way or another
to the G. N. All the representatives
of the N. P. know this, and hate the
G. N. accordingly. When the N. P.
receipts become large enough to be
worth while, Morgan will take away
the control from Hill, but at present
the N. P. is not doing any too we'll,
according to- reports.
The c. P. R., the o. R. & ~, and
the c. & M. P. are all owned sep
arately by different interests. Any
business thrown to these or the N. P.
will not sound good to the G. N.
The points in the Palouse country
served by the Northern Pacific charge
$1.35 per 100 pounds for first class
freight from Seattle. Tacoma, Port
land and Everett. Colville, from the
same points, is obliged to pay into
the Golfers Of the Great Northern
$2.01 to $2.05 per 100 pounds for
the same service. This difference of
&c cents to 70 cents per 100 pounds
enables Jim Hill to carry on the war
fare before the state railroad commits
sion whereby he keeps the present
