WEEKS; DRINKS POISON

of water until she, too, was
stricken. When found, she was
near death and the children all
sick.

Assistant Attorney General
Lyle holds in an opinion given to
the state bereau of inspection
that county commissioners while
acting as ex officio members Of
the board in viewing the roads
in their district or carrying out
the orders Of the board are en-
titled to no compensation. This
will wipe out a practice that has
become general throughout the
state, namely, Of permitting a
county commissioner to receive
pay for duties performed in look
ing after the roads in his district,
it being customary to have each
commissioner care for the high
ways in his own territory.

least 100000 of them will vote
the Democratic ticket. I base my
conclusion on the ground that
these women are studying the
political issues, preparatory to
casting their ballots next year,
from an unpreiudiced viewpoint,
and for the further reason that
I believe them to be both sensible
and patriotic. Better than the men
they know the increased cost Of
all household necessities is large
ly due to the prohibitive tariff
and to the trusts formed there
under. They know-even if many
men do not-that the tariff is a
tax and that you cannot tax
yourself rich. At this moment
there are in Seattle and in the
State of Washington dozens of
women's clubs meeting regularly
and giving the most careful con-
sideration to the study of econ
omic and social questions. With
minds open to truth, with hearts
in sympathy with justice and
equal opportunity these women
are certain to find the avenue of
greatest usefulness in the Demo-
cratic party.
The Democratic party will go
before the people of this state
next year with a candidate for
president pledged to do justice
to the West. He will be a man
who will take into consideration
the welfare of this generation as
well as future generations.
We will present a candidate
for governor free from entang-
ling business alliances and I'M
trammeled by monopolistic pledg-
es and promises. He and his as
sociates will pledge themselves to
favor an amendment of our con-
stitutiOn which will enable the
people of each county to exempt
from taxation any class of prop
erty the people by majority
vote may in their wisdom decide
shall be free from tax burdens.
In other words, they will favor
taking the penalty off of indus
try, commerce and labor and in
this way infuse new life into
every legitimate line of business
and give an impetus to the devel-
opment Of every one Of our
matchless resources.
The Democratic party will de-
mand the most rigid economy in
governmental affairs, both state
and nation; will oppose monop-
oily and trusts in every form; will
insist upon freeing commerce
from the imposts and penalties
with which it has been burdened
by republican tariffs, bounties,
| subsidies and other iniquitious
taxation; will favor freedom Of
access to the natural resources
of the land and sea, and equal
opportunity to all men for the
| development of the same; and
then having faith in the patriot
ism and intelligence of the men
| and women of our beloved state,
| will await with confidence their
decision in November, 1912.

will wipe out a practice that has
become general throughout the
state, namely, of permitting a
county commissioner to receive
pay for duties performed in look
ing after the roads in his district,
it being customary to have each
commissioner care for the high
ways in his own territory.
Charles R. Van Hise, president
of the University of Wisconsin,
in a, recent address, declares
that corporations including rail
roads, mining, stock raising, lum-
Der, and real estate companies,
have received from the govern
ment one and one-half as much
land as has small holders, home
steaders, and individual pur-
chasers. He says, "The grants
to corporations exceed by over
eight million acres the amount
which was taken up under the
homestead act. The same is true
of at least ten million acres un-
der the timber and stone acts.
The government land received by
American land grabbing corpora
tions is greater in area than
every country in Europe except
Russia, and would make more
than the states of Nebraska, Col
orado and Missouri combined.
When you hear some politician
explaining the benefits of "na-
tional conservation" of resources
in preference to state conserva-
ton, you may know that there
is some good reason for his plea
for national conservation. In fact,
there is generally some good rea-
son for the republican schemes
of conducting affairs-but the
reasons are not to benefit the
PEOPLE.
The following article from
Charles G. Heifner, of Seattle,
chairman Of the democratic state
committee, explains why Wash
ington will go democratic in
1912:
In the first place the political
pendulum IS swinging toward the
Democratic party. The history
of this country furnishes abun-
dant proof of the fact that the
independent voter changes his
political fealty every ten or fif-
teen years. There may be one
or many influences at work to
bring about this change, but that
the shifting of political allegiance
takes place is as certain as the
ebb and flow of the tides. And
it is a further fact that there are
enough independent voters in
the state and the nation to de-
eide the political fate of either
party.
It is everywhere conceded that
the trend of political thought and
sympathy is toward the Demo
cratic party. This will add to
our present political strength
not only the thoughtful indepen-
dent voter, but it will give us
many thousands Of voters who
simply drift with the tide or go
with the majority; and these
men, being unprejudiced, rarely
ever miss the psychological mo-
ment to make themselves a part
of the winning party. These are
the general influences at work
on behalf Of Democracy.
Coming to more specific rea-
SONS we find the Republican par
ty divided into "Standpatters"
and "Frogreasives torn by
factiona differences that can
never be reconciled and divided
into hostile camps over the ques-
tion of a division Of government
privilege, patronage and spoils-
the three cohesive influences
which have ever operated to hold
the Republican party together.

On April Is an English sparrow
flew into one of the compressor
wheels at the CRANKY smelter and
came out alive when the works
were shut down last week. The
wheel is 33 feet in circumference
and travels ITO revolutions a

Homesteaders in the North
west expect relief through the
bill favorably reported in the
House authorizing them to sell
burned-over timber on their land
and pocket the proceeds. This
measure is intended for the bene-
fit of settlers whose homesteads
were swept by the fires of last
summer and an effort will be
made to pass it this session.

81 remember we'll when the migra-
ticns to the West commenced" said
n. T. Mitchell, who has lived a few
miles out from Columbia for the
greater part of his life, and who is
now nearly 80 years old. Il was at
that time keeper of the toll gate on
the Rocheport gravel road and have
seen as many as one hundred cara
vans pass in one day. The families
were usually large ones and the
household goods as rule proportion
ately scarce, so the head of the fam
ly piled all his furniture in first, then
all of the children on top of that in
the one wagon. and set out toward
what seemed to him the Promised
Land. The more prosperous bOasted
two wagons. one for the furniture,
the other for the family. In nearly
all instances they were coming from
the East and We're on their way to
Kansas or Nebraska, which two states
were just opening up at that time.
Sometimes the road was white
with the canvas-covered wagons, and
sometimes the people made a picnic
OF the journey, buOyed up by the hope
of the great things to come. But often
tLey were a pitiful sight-men who
had been failures elsewhere. seeking
to re-make their fortunes i'm a better
country. Columbia saw queer sights
in its infancy"

THE PROSPECT OF PEACE.

The treaties now pending with
Great Britain and France mark a
greater advantage toward actual
world peace than any event of the
century. Our treaties with these ma
tions now agree to arbitrate every
thing except those affecting vital in
terests or natiOna! hOnOrs.
The new treaties commit us to seek
settlement of all disputes without
arms They provide for Joint High
Commission to decide whether or not
any question can be hOnOrably arbi-
tIated. Very little was gained by
agreeing to arbitrate whatever and
whenever We felt inclined to. Ev-
erything is gained by agreeing to ar
bitrate whatever an impartial tribu-
nal says is arbitrable.
The other world powers must soon
follow the lead of France and Eng
land and America. The international
duel is bound to go just so surely as
the individual duel was Outlawed
Finer courage and nobler herOism
will have its opportunity when the
nations have beaten their swords
into plOw shares.
More than half the income of the
nations is spent for the upkeep of
armies and navies War is destruc-
tive of the individual and the nation.
We have made mighty advance
along other lines, but the settlement
OF international relations has been
left long to the caprice of passion and
ambition.
President Taft says that during
twelve years greater advance to-
ward world peace has been made than
during all the centuries before. The
arbitration treaties now pending
bring the federation of the world a
step nearer.

largest chorus that have ever sung
in America said Prof. W. II. Pom
mer of the department of music al
the University of Missouri. There
were $500 school children in the chO-
rus and 17S pieces in the orchestra.
The school children had never re-
hearsed with the orchestra and
naturally had little misgiving as to
how they would perform. However,
| had drilled them as to how the or
chestra would sound and they did
nobly.
"The chorus consisted of 1,4O0
who sang first soprano. 200 second
soprano and 900 boys with un-
changed voices who sang the lower
parts. There were 5000 persons
in the audience. | will not deny that

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT,

Along with the spirit of giving at
Christmas time there should be a
deeper feeling, the feeling which in
the beginning prompted the giving
spirit. There should be peace on
earth and good will among men,"
The gift is the symbol of the good
will among men but it is only a SYM
bol. The spirit itself should not be
superseded by its symbol.
Every year the feeling of brother
hood among men is growing. This
IS evidenced in the decrease in the
amount of strife and conflict between
men and between nations War is
no longer continuous. Men are
looking at one another with a more
kindly feeling.
And all this is the Christmas spir-
it which should exist the year round
but which is more in evidence at
Iuletide than at other seasons Its
highest development is the love of
one man for another, an altruism all
powerful in shaping the thought of
the world.

TWO ROAD POLICIES.

A county tax is levied in thirty
seven counties in Michigan, and three
commissioners expend this money for
permanent betterment of the high
ways. One thousand dollars is paid
Ly the state to each county for every
mile of macadam road built, and
$500 for every mile of gravel road.
If county builds four miles of good
reads the state gives it enough to
build about another mile.
In other counties each township
takes care of it's roads. About IS
per cent of all the money spent last
year under the township system went
for repairing dirt roads. The roads
are passable now Next year they will
have to be patched again.
Under the county tax system 80 per
cent of the money spent was for per-
manent roads. The cost of repairs
Cn these roads is comparatively moth
ing.
The township system of patching
up dirt roads would bankrupt any
community in the world in a few
years.

signal to rise. They all arose as one
person.
There were several noted singers
in that audience that were moved
to tears by the children's singing.
One noted singer said that it sound
ed like angels singing. | had drilled
the children in sections of 500 or SO
at a time and had never had them
all together for rehearsal at one time.
And, as | said before. they had nev-
er heard the orchestra. Taking these
things into consideration, it was
truly a remarkable performance. and
received a great deal of praise. The
event took place in the Liberal Arts
