Insurance Commissioner Schively feels
highly grstifed over his success in
winning out for Washington as the
place in which the 1912 annual con-
vention of insurance commissioners is
to be held. This will mean a great
deal to the state, as the officials Of in

west for favorable openings in which to
place their investments. The compan-

N. Would Buy Road No. 10

There is pending before the state
highway board the application Of the
Great Northern Railway company to
purchase from the state its interests in
state highway No. 10, from Wenatchee
to Pateros, along the vast bank of the
Columbia river. The state has spent
about $25, 1000 on this road, while the
balance Of the SIS, 900 appropriation
has been expended along the Methow
river and is not effected by the applica-
ton. This road has been recommend
ed to be abandoned, and it has been
deemed impracticable to construct it
on account OF the excessive cost and
great danger. The Legislature, how
ever, never took any action upon 1t.
The citizens of Wenatchee would like
TO have the state deed over the road or
waive any claim for damages, although
the county desires TO recover from the
railroad for its expenses. The state
highway board is not very desirous of
taking any action in the matter at pre-
sent, and will do nothing until ruling
is made by the attorney general. Ow-
ing to troubles which grew out of the
sale Of the Bellingham-Skagit water
front road to the Great Northern, and
the sale OF the Snoqualmie Pass road to
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound by Joseph M. Snow, former
highway commissioner, the highway
board is loath to make any move.
Members of the board, however, be-
lieve that if the state secured the
money expended on the road it would
be we'll to abandon it, and this is what
the railroad agrees to do, and may
start condemnation proceedings and
tender into court the amount involved.
1t may be some time before any action
is taken in the matter.

Washington is the most healthful
state in the Union, according to the
latest figures issued by the Census
Bureau, having the lowest mortality
rate. The 1910 figures show that here
there were only ten deaths to each
thousand of population. The death
rate for the country-st-large was fifteen
per thousand. At the bottom of the
list stands New Hampshire with
death rate OF 17.3. All Pacific north
west states stand near the top. This
is largely due to the fact that the peo-
pie living here now are mostly young
and vigorous, or what the insurance
world calls picked risks.

This month, as all Catholics know
is dedicated TO Our Blessed Lady
and more especially to her chief de-
votion-the Rosary. Prayer is a
great and splendid thing; because II
lifts us to our God and Father, II Ii
enrolling; because II makes US
know our dependence, II is purifying
and Christening; II is comforting in
distress, II is an oasis of green trees
and cooling waters in the desert u
life. But the Rosary, OF all our
prayers, has its own peculiar charm
Besides the high origin OF its varied
prayers-one is from the lips OF
God and one from an angels, and
one comes from the dawn OF Chris
tian times, and another is the IN
SEPARATION OF the Holy Spirit-it il

Register. Catholics love the Rosary,
In these October days when the glory
OF the summer is over and falling
leaves and dead flowers remind MS OF
the end OF all things, II Is with as
and the hope also. that when the
end comes II will be clasped around

MADNESS

Recall.

Initiative. referendum and recall
were termed the weapons Of mob
ocracy by Archbishop Ireland in an
address at the banquet OF the Army
Of the Tennessee at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, Wednesday evening. After re-
lating this story Of the making of
the democratic Government by the
newly-born States after the Revolu-
tionary War, Archbishop Ireland
said:
"And now the clamor is heard
that the Organizations of American
democracy such as the republic has
known for a century and a quarter
must be altered, torn asunder, under
the pretense that with It the people
do not govern with sufficient direct
ness. Let us hope that this clamor
Is but passing ebullition OF feeling.

seriousness of thought usually un-

masses Of the people, to be there

Democracy, yes; mobocracy, never.
And toward mobocracy We are now
hidden to wend our way. The shib-
boleths of the clamor, you know
the initiative, referendum, the re-
call-put into general practice, as
the evangelists of the new social
gospel fain would have them, are
nothing more nor less than the mad
ness of democracy"
