SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-If the
opinion of Scott Calhoun, corpor-
alton counsel, is proved correct,
the movement to make Seattle a
single tax city, will come to
naught until the state constitution
is amended.
Calhoun declares that the sin

adopted by the city because the

The enrolment for Draughon's Prac.

week and the work is progressing finely.
This is an opportunity seldom offered

OF lifetime to get a thorough bust
ness education right at your door. The
Draughon system is the highest and
best in existence The school has a
reputation established and the teachers
in charge will meet the requirements of
the Draughon standard, men of the
highest scholarship and ability. The
equipment will also be the best This
will come from Paducah, where it has
been used for rival school absorbed
by Draughon. Everything will be first

Woodrow Wilson.

The Democratic party is facing til,
best opportunity it has had since 1879:
to secure entire control of the nationa
government. 1t now has majority in
the House, nearly majority in the
Senate, and splendid opportunity to
win the Presidency next year. 1t all
depends, however, on the nominee,
Should the wrong man be selected the
opportunity would be thrown away.
The Georgian belives that at present
there is no man within the party who is
so strong as Woodrow Wilson, former
Georgian, now Governor of New Jersey.
His political career has been brief but
brilliant. If in the next twelve months
he maintains the record he has made
so far, no other Democrat will have Will
son S strength.
So believing that its readers desire to
keep specially in touch with the career
of this logical leader, The Georgian will
publish a complete report of Wilson's
accomplishments in his own State and
mirror the opinions OF him expressed
by others.
The following is an editorial from
The Sioux City iowa Tribune;
Victor Murdoch, Of Kansas, the pi-
oneer progressive Republican of the
House, tells The Tribune's Washington
correspondent very frankly that in his
judgment President Taft can not be re-
elected if Woodrow Wilson is nominated
by the Democrats. He classes even
Iowa, where he has delivering chautau-
qua addresses, as debatable ground in
a contest between Taft and Wilson.
Mr. Murdoch opinion is given with
out bitterness. He intimates no inten-
ton on his part Of refusing to support
Mr.. Taft should he receive the nomina-
ton, but merely as a politician who
knows the people of the middle West,
and gives his calm judgment of the po-
litical situation as it is, not as he would
like it to be.
1t is superfuouS to recount in detail
the reason for the latent feeling of West
ern hostility to the President. Those
reasons are written large in the record
Of the Taft administration Of the last
two years and a half, and the President,
by avowing his purpose to veto prac-
tically all the progressive legislation .
passed at the present session OF Con-
yress threatens to add to them. The
'eal point is, however, that the hostility
Exists, and that men like Mr.. Murdoch
know it exists. That is why they are
IN the housetops warning their party Of
he danger that threatens it, and why
hey are convinced that the party ought
o nominate some other man

Why So.

The Nashville Banner never forgave
William Jennings Bryan for having
Presidential aspirations, That would
not be so bad, but that paper cannot,
try as it may, give the Nebraskan JUS

his adherence 10 those doctrines now

the Banner has more than once referred
to the recall theory, especially that of
the judges, as something OF mere
tricious character, and if Bryan was
carried with the infatuation of free
silver La Toilette is certainly carried
away with the recall One is as deter
mined and dogmatic in his theories as
the other, although the Banner may be
right in the estimate that Bryan has
more enthusiasm and La Toilette more
logic. Still the Banner cannot get far
enough away from its prejudice against
Bryan to give him fair comparison.
Bryan should not be candidate for
President in 1912, but whatever he is
he is honest and sincere and personally
few men, precious few, measure up to
the same standard
Senator La Toilette is a strong man,
but The Commercial does not think he
is entitled to any more credit for con-
than Bryan

To the Citizens of Union City.

In seeking the endorsement of the
people of Union City for a second term,
j invite the closest investigation as TO
my official acts since | have had the
honor to serve you as Mayor.
When presented my claims for your
support two years ago had no official
record to attack, but my motives for
aspiring to the office did not escape the
most fragrant and unjust criticism.
You we're told that i was non-pro-
gressiye, and that had no executive
nor financial ability, that | would be a
tool in the hands OF a few designing
friends, and that il elected the city's
interest would be disregarded and that
the policy of my administration would
be dominated and run by few favored
friends, and that, in effect, Union City
would have the unique distinction of
Mayor by proxy only. Let it be under
stood that have no word of complaint
against those who made these charges
and that admire them the more for
standing for what they considered to be
for the best interests OF the town, but /
sincerely trust that my official acts have
proven that these predictions we're not
well founded and that Union City has
taken no backward step, neither morally
nor financially, under the new regime.

the idea was new he was going to get

of boring holes in the logs: to hang
them up? He said every one liked to
see the blaze in an open wood fire and
when It got low they poked 1t or put
on fresh logs just to see some more
fame. If you bored an inch hole
through the middle Of log and put It
on the fire with the hole vertical 1t
would FORM a kind of chimney and
you would have cheerful little Jet

posed that commissioners duties

commissioner was trying to do but
the majority prevailed and his object
defeated and again why should the
majority vote IN saloon where they
are not vitality interested and vote
1T OUT In their home town? Too
much competition In the latter instan-
ce, no doubt. One would think natur-
ally that commissioner and the dis

Lewiston Normal.


There are several interesting Nor
NAL events to come off during the
week. The Interscholastic Debate be-
tween Cheney Normal and Lewiston
Normal, at Cheney; The Track Meet
at Moscow in Which the Normal will
be represented; and Dual Inter-
class Meet to be held probably Tues
day; The Concerts to be given by
the Girls Glee Club at Peck and
Lapwai.
The interscholastic debate between
the Lewiston Normal and Cheney
Normal. winch will be held Friday
evening, at Cheney, Washington, will
be the eighth annual contest between
these Normal schools. A great deal.
of interest has been aroused in both
schools over the coming debate, es-
pecially i'm view of the fact that Che
ney has won four of the debates in
the past and Lewiston Normal three.
The last debate held between Che
ney and the Lewiston Normals was
that of two years ago, which was
won by the Lewiston Normal. The
team at that time was one of three
young women; Misses Jensen, Wal
dahl, and Sullivan. The team this
year will be one of young men; Mes
s,rs. Ransom A. Mackie and Oscar
R. Jordan of Juliaetta and Mr. Claude
H. Lint of Lewiston. The Cheney
team is one of young women and
consists of Misses Chapman, Mueller,
and Cutler. One of the unique feat
lures of the debate this year will be
the fact that the three judges will
be taken from the Cheney Normal
faculty. In these days it often seems
as if the object of each school debat-
ing was to win at any cost, but rep
resentatiyes of the two Normals have
very wisely put the debate solely on
it's merits, the Lewiston Normal real
izing that its team will receive every
courtesy at the hands of the Cheney
Normal faculty Similarly, next year,
when the debate is held in Lewiston,
the judges will be chosen from the
Lewiston Normal Faculty. The ques-
ton is that of the Initiative and Ref
erendum, and reads as follows: Re
solved: "That the System of Direct
Legislation by the People Should be
more Generally Adopted in the United
