up and take notice. Mr.. Trimble some years
ago bought some real estate in Seattle and
held on to it and as a result he is now con-
servatively estimated to be wealthy, but no
one has ever heard of him taking advantage
of any one in a transaction and he has lived
a life above reproach. Mr. Trimble is truly
a scholar and gentleman. What more?
HAYS APPOINTEES. From time to
time some newspaper or some othc1ous pol
itician has announced that some one hold
ing an appointive office under Governor Hay
would be candidate against him for the
gubernatorial nomination, and among the
number so mentioned is John c. Lawrence,
member of the railroad commission, Thomas
A. Parrish, member of the tax commission,
and John c. Perley. If any Of those men
should come out for the gubernatorial nom
ination after accepting appointments at the
hands of the governor for number OF years
such a person would not possess single
spark of manhood and deserves to be beaten
so badly at the polls that he would not know
he had even registered for the nomination.
OF all persons to be despised it is the I'M
grateful person. Governor Hay may not be
doing things as those men would have him
do, but they would show that they are cow
ards and deceivers to live in his house as
long as they needed assistance and then go
out and try to pull it down on him while
he is asleep.

POLITICAL POT PIE

HENRY B. DEWEY, if reports be true,
is to quit the position of superintendent of
public instruction of the state Of Washing
ton and make fight to go to congress and
succeed Stanton Warburton. In other
words give up a cinch to chase after vision.
Professor Dewey may possess the elements
of statesman, but the Pie-maker seriously
doubts it, and would suggest that, he hest
tate and then hesitate again before giving up
a snap for snapper.

that the weekly press of the state is stand

of the state come to the office OF The BE-

Instead of being anxious as to what ATTITUDE

Yourself serious, Mr.. Editor.
DON QUIXOTE CASE and Sancho
Panzy Lincoln have sailed forth to defeat
political wind mills and sign posts and,
as the brace struts up the streets of Seattle
in quest of marauding enemies they present
most striking appearance. AS long as
Case was a member of the National Guard
it was great institution and he made an
effort under its cloak to control the politics
of Seattle, King county and the state OF
Washington, but was signally defeated. For
the past seven years he has been graduating
men in his office for political preferment and
he himself has graduated in his own mind
for the governorship and his Sancho Panzy
chief deputy has graduated for county au-
ditor and still some one else in his office
is to graduate for county clerk and SO will
the auditors office graduate some one for
every position in the gift of the people for
county and city jobs Otto is evidently the
worse Case of demagogery the state has
ever seen and that is saying good deal.
JUDGE R. B. ALBERTSON is DESTROYS,
so say his friends, of being governor Of the
state, and if given any encouragement in
the world will announce his candidacy
Well, with all due respect to Judge Albert

London, July u Tsp sial)-
Diplomats are beginning 70
wonder whether there will ever
be an end to the negotiations over
the various Chinese loans. They
got the railroads off their hands
and thought there was nothing
more to be said about the Man
churian loan. Lately, however,
it has again cropped out in the
dispatch bags. Japan and Russia
objected to the clause that provid-
ed that in future loans the coun-
tries supplying the money in this
instance should be given the first
option. Russia and Japan
thought that established a mon
opoly and the ambassador in Lon
don complained to the foreign Of
flee.
It has been pointed out that
such a clause is put in all loan a
greemeEt, and is usual business
arrangement. No formal answer
has been given as yet but it is be
lieved that steps will be taken by
interested powers to allay the the
feeling in Japan and Russia that
they are bing shut out by any
loan transactions i'm China.

Hansa Bund is the latest event in
the internal politics of Germany.
This is a great organization form
ed about two years ago for aug
menting the influence Of the com
mercial classes over legislation
and for combating the Agrarian
movement.
1t now consists OF nearly 250,-
600 individual members besides
some $50 commercial and indus
trial organizations of various
kinds. Thus the total member
ship of the Bund, direct and in
direct is considerably more than
one million and it is therefore by
far the largest private organiza-
ton of any sort in Germany. In
June the Bund held its annual con
vention at Berlin; and in view of
the near approach of Reichtag e.
lections the speeches took on a
very aggressive character against
the Agrarians and the parties sup
porting them. The president of
the organization announced pol
icy which means practically that
the Bund prefers to see Social
list elected rather than an Agra
rian.
His attituted has given great Of
tense to the Central Association
Of German manufacturers, the ma
tional organization of the largest
manufacturers of the empire.
This body has just announced
its withdrawal from the bund, be-
cause of the vigorous attitude a.
dopted against the agragrians at
the convention. The Association
explains its action by alleging that
the course adopted by the Bund
endanger sthe protective policy
which is supported by tacit ALI
ance between the manufacturers
and large land owners. The seces-
sion OF the Association does not
mean that all manufacturers Of
the country will desert the Bund ;
and on the other hand many of
the organizations of the smaller
and medium sized manufacturing
establishments have declared their

In some quarters it is believed
that the detection of the Associa
ton will help the Bund since it
will enable il to put forth more
energy in its struggle with the
Aerarians. It is also believed that
it will tend to draw the lines more
clearly between the supporters of
the present tariff policy of the
Empire and those who prefer a
more moderate form of protec-
ton.
