Respected Friend: Your letters in At

that is inspiring and certainly product
i've of much good. If a like principle was
evolved, and the same spirit entertained
in the hearts of all the people of Geor-

the result of the coming election. Many
of us who read your letters have never
met you, but we know you, for you have
not spoken in an unknown tone. A state

trust and pray that sthe voters of the
state of Georgia will roll up such ma
jority for prohibition on December q next,
that it will remove the cataract of in
EQUITY, and open the eyes so wide and
clearly of those who favor rum, that they
may behold the beauty of righteousness
and peace, for evermore
Georgia has been forging ahead and
cannot afford to take a step backward
and downward. Every voter should put
his shoulder to the wheel, and God will
bless the effort, then we will all join
in singing. Praise God from whom all
blessings fiow."

The Hartman lines have authoriz-
ed the expenditure of 100000
for construction work on the North
Coast road in Eastern Washington in
order to shorten the distance be-
tween Portland and Spokane. The
road will be shortened about 81
miles, making this the shortest line
between Portland and the power city.
Contracts will be let withina few
days and the work will be completed
before the end of 1912. The plans
include some remarkable bridge
work where the line will cross the
Snake River and through Palouse
canyon where formidable engineer
ing problems present themselves.

Our State Land Commissioner

The people of this great state
should derive some satisfaction from
knowing that they have elected to
office at least one man whose official
acts have been investigated thor
oughly and found to be regular and
honorable in every particular. A
member of the legislative commit
tee appointed to investigate the
state offices has reported in open
session in the state senate that after
seven months investigation of the
state land office he found absolutely
no evidence Of crookedness on the
part of Land Commissioner E. w.
Ross, that he had found one crooked
cruiser who had been promptly fired
by Commissioner Ross and that the
only questionable act he had discov-
cred was that the office, possibly
without knowledge of Ross, had
issued deed to a corporation Of
which Ross was stakeholder for
shore lands at Silver Lake without
advertising the lands for sale. In
connection with this sale, Senator
Fishback said the law provided there
should be no advertisement if the sale
was applied for by the upland owner
and that the corporation had filed
certificate by the auditor of Cow
litz County that it Vas such upland
owner. Senator Allen, the other
senate member of the committee
said he did not have any charge to
make in any way rejecting upon the
integrity of Commissioner Ross.
Senator Fishback futher stated that
in spite of all his efforts he could not
find one single act of crookedness
in the entire administration of the
land Commissioners office.
In an endeavor to build up poll
teal machine that may later work
against the interests of Mr.. Ross.
all sorts of schemes are being hatch
ed by his enemies to bring discredit
upon him, and some have gone so
far as to accuse him of stealing
thousands of dollars and of using his
office to further personal interests.
The report of this committee fully
exonorates Mr.. Ross from all blame
or charges of crookedness and it
would seem that it ought to place
him in clear and favorable light
before the legislature and the people
of the state.

comes from Washington that q bill
providing for a better compensation
is practically certain to pass before
congress adjourns. The islander
knows of no class of government
employees that are more poorly paid
than our carriers on the rural mail
routes and hopes that the increase
recommended will be allowed.
There seems to be no good reason
why man should work for Uncle
Sam for less money than he can
afford to work for a private indivi-
dual or corporation. While this
matter is being discussed it might
be we'll for the patrons along the

Our Great University

Washington is getting a national
reputation as a state we'll in the
front rank as regards its educational
institutions, fact that tends much
toward tavorably advertising the
state throughout the union. The
liberal policy adopted by our legis-
lature in placing adequate funds at
the disposal of our educational insti-
buttons and our compulsory school
laws have resulted in making the
states percentage of illiteracy very
low. The University of Washington
with total enrolment of 1889
students finds itself ranking fourth
among the great state universities
of the country which are not affiliat-
ed with colleges of agriculture.
The universities of Michigan, with
1888; Indiana, with 1854; Iowa,
with 1850 are the only state institu-
tons without agricultural depart
ments that lead the University of
Washington from the standpoint of
enrolment. It's campus is one of
the very finest in the world, its
buildings the equal of any in the
United States, its equipment in all
departments most excellent and its
faculty composed of some of the
most able instructors this country
has produced. There is no need Of
going north, south or east to acquire
an education. A diploma issued by
this institution is sufficient to place
the holder in the front rank in the
social and business world, no matter
what branch Of the universitiy's
work he may have chosen to adopt
or become proficient in.

borne fruit and we hope that the
interest manifested in the matter
by Mr.. Van SAINT, of Olga, and his
earnest suggestion that some sort of
an organization be formed at once
will be needed. There is no time
like the present for doing this, while
the attention of the fruit raisers

ATTACK
 t COUNTRY Situation in the epublican Party EWS OF LEADERS In the Meantime Democratic Thought Is Forming Along the Most Conservative Lines-The
 Real Leaders
By wALTER HARPER

Washington, November 2l.-(Speeial')- Within a few hours after the last issue of The Out1ok containing the now ram bus editorial of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt was put on sale in Washlng- ton every copy was taken and the pupnc was clamoring for more.
 ! The newsdealers have been unable to Supply the demand.
 . As the people of Kansas await tpe coming of the next cyclone the people oi this country have learned to attend the breaking of a silence at Oyster Bay Sometimes the public may grow little impatient at a prolonged calm, but the public never waits in vain. Colonel Roose- welt is as sure to talk as is Colonel Bryan of Nebraska, and that is as sure as sun rise.
 For the space of 24 hours after Colonel Roosevelt spoke a great calm rested on the balance of the country. He had the ear of the country. There was not a murmur of interruption. Every word of the former President of the United States was given time to soak in good.
 Official Washington seeIned to be stunned. Not a man would speak. Pres ident Taft and Attorney General Wicker sham sent out word that they had noth- ing to say. Mr. Wickersham would not even trust himself in the presence of a reporter.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-22
Roosevelt Must Talk

Everybody expected Roosevelt to talk in his own good time. The only question was what will he say? Now that he has said, the country seems unable to fathom him. Chairman Norman E. Mack of the national democratic executive commit tee recovered his voice early, even before Bryan, and declared that Roosevelt is a candidate for President. This seems to be the opinion of a great many other people, including the high officials at Washington.
 Congressman Henry of Texas spoke next. He agrees with Mack that Roose- welt wants to be president again.
 Congressman Henry takes issue with Roosevelt on his advocacy of Legislative courts and Legislative executives" and declares that on such policies the former President will find his road to the White House very rocky one. Henry declares that Roosevelt will have to make the race with the Steel trust on his shoulders, and ridicules the idea of Roosevelt, the trust buster, making campaign as the friend of Wall street.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-22
Exnected Results

Speaking of the Roosevelt editorial the Brooklyn Eagle says:
 Result will accrue fast, if at all. They will come all the quicker for a reason furnished by the President him. self. Nothing is easier than to epitomize the story of his recent trip.
 Ut was a case of a fall between two stools. He slipped to the floor between the progressives and the conservatives, dismaly failing to propitiate one wing or the other
 ''Presuming a party to be split in two and presumng it's leader to be unac- ceptable to both. his renomination would seem to be almost a reductio ad absur- dunn.
 with these conditions Roosevelt is fa- miliar. They furnished an opening, of which at the right time and in his own way he took advantage. And for what?
 'There is hardly a politician in the country who is not asking himself that question. Nor is it likely that the an swer will be long delayed. It will be in- teresting when it comes."
 MT. Bryan got in his little word on the moment of his sailing to the West India Islands His criticism of Roosevelt's po- sition is severe. of course Bryan Is al ways handy with tlA hammer. He car. ries no surplus laurel wreaths in stock He only carries enough to replensh his own crown. MT. Bryan regrets that ht is to be out of touch with American af fairs except by wireless for few days.
