THE trouble with the Democrats said
Marse Henry to a reporter for the World,

playing politics like children for twenty
years. Cleveland played politics like a
child, in one way, and Bryan in another.
Just now the party has come back
into power without any conference or
preparation. In Congress. the Democrats
have commenced very lily by the ap-
pointment of this so-called committee on
committees. It's a poor scheme, 1 think.

SpeakinE Of Slang.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
While engaged in reforming personal
weaknesses, why not cut down the output
Of slang?
Do you know that conversational Eng

travagance?
A little slang, II has been contended,
adds virility to the mother tongue, but
there is no excuse for overdosing.
It may be graphic and amusing to de-
clare that "Pittsburg II all to the

moment later that Chicago is all to the

she received upon the death of the late
king. and they now are numbered among
her most treasured possessions. The let

Of the empire, many Of them being quite
poor people and also from children.
Next to ex-King Manuel of Portugal,
the most important person nowadays at
Wood-Norton is the Marquis de Lavradi.
He is man Of about thirty and possesses
consid ,rable business ability. and came
to Wood-Norton by special request of the
former king. to aid him in getting his
business affairs into shape and order.
The marquis knows England well and
formerly was connected with a very
large firm Of wine merchants In London.

THE CHRISTMAS PUDDING

Take some human nature-as YOU
find it
The commonest variety will do
Put a little graciousness behind it.
And a lump of charity--or two.
Squeeze in just drop of moderation
Half as much frugaiity--or less,
And some very fine consideration.
Strain off all of poverty's distress
Pour some milk of human Kindness
in it,
Put in all the happiness you can,
Stir it up with laughter every minute,
Season with good will toward every
man.
Set it on the fire Of hearts affection,
Leave it till the jolly bubbles rise,
Sprinkle it with kisses-for confec-
ton,
Sweeten with a look from loving
eyes,
Flavor it with children's merry chat
ter.
Frost it with the snow of wintry
dells.
Place it on a holly-garnished platter
And serve 1t with the song of
Christmas bells.

Neither can impose limitations on the

part of the other.
Rivalry in ornaments is the great

This is high compliment to the
efficiency of public opinion and gives
added force TO the power and po-

The highest statesmanship in the ma

than to passion and to prejudice and
hoping for its best results from this

proves the merit of the Yakima Val

contention that the result is mere
matter of luck. 1t establishes be-

skill in handling the product that a

MAKE THIS A CONVENTION CITY

North Yakima is to entertain the
State Teachers association this week
and is anticipating that a thousand
visitors will be brought to the city to
attend the sessions OF the association.
The success of the meeting is assured
and in this success North Yakima will
be able to demonstrate to the entire
state and to the northwest the ability
of the city to handle successfully the
meeting Of a large association.
Early next month the fruit growers
of the valley-fifty strong-will go to
Charleston with an avowed intention
of capturing the 1913 meeting of the
state Horticultural association on the
plea that this is the most fitting place
for the meeting to be held, being the
center of the largest acreage devoted
to fruit growing in the state of Wash
ington and for the further fact that
the city is well equipped in the way of
hotel and other facilities for handling
the large attendance of delegates that
will wish to attend the sessions of that
meeting.
This is breaking the ground to boost
for North Yakima for the meeting
place for any one of the association
meetings that can possibly be brought
to the city North Yakima is central
ly located. 1t is we'll supplied with
railroad facilities and can be easily
reached. 1t has ample hotel and other
accommodation for handling the large
number of visitors that may wish to
attend these meetings 1t offers many
advantages for convention city and
has been entirely too modest in the
past in pointing out these several ad-
yantages to the people of the state.

IDAHO'S GALL FOR EXTRA SEES.
SION


An extra session of the Idaho state
legislature has been called by Cover
nor Hawley, but the movement has
not come from the progressives, who
are seeking a presidential preference
primary. Idaho has a tangle in its
revenue laws that has necessitated the
converting Of the legislature over an
ENHANCEMENT that the governor and
the state board of equalization pre-
cipitated.
Idaho has had a revenue law on the
books since statehood that calls for
full cash value assessment for tax
alton purposes but the law has been
ignored and the state assessors in the
several counties have been making
the levy on such basis as they saw fit,
the majority of them operating under
a "gentlemen's" agreement to make
it about forty per cent. but in reality
it has been shown that the values
have ranged from 25 to 40 per cent
and that the taxation in the state has
never been really equalized.
Governor Hawley and the state
board of equalization announced early
in the present year that the 1911 levy
must be made on the full cash basis
or that the state board would enforce
the law and infiict the penalties. and
since that announcement there has
been trouble in Idaho. Pressure was
brought to bear on the board and the
| majority recinded their action and
Yielded to the plea of those who held
to the old practice and ignored the
governor.
The state board OF equalization
found a worse tangle than ever this
year when it came to eoualize the tax
| levies. Some of the county assessors
had followed the governors mandate
and some had followed their own
sweet Wills and former presidents and
made no pretense Of following the
law. Idaho has been in a turmoil in
consequence. Taxes in some counties
have gone skyward faster than food
products have gone up under pressure
of the high cost OF living. and taxes
in all counties have advanced and the
protest not only involves Governor
Hawley but the whole state admins
tration. Hence the need for an extra
session.
Other questions may be involved
