Presidential Political Palavcr.

The Presidents speech on tho
platform fronting the Capitol build
ing, Wednesday, was Just such an
address as might have been expected
from on executive who deems il
necessary to leave his duties AT The
National Capital to traip>e around
the country. Is Johnson did, to OK
plain acts Of his own administration
ard "squarc himself with those
who have criticised his course. His
time here was devoted to eXplana
ton Or wby he had vetoed certain
aciS Of Congress, and defining his
position thereon. 1t turns out that
he is not such rabid Republican as
he las been charged with being. and
That even the Socialists may find
room !or occasional applause of his
wcil-roundcd periods. lie is for
free trade if ii is reciprocal; a
tariff for revenue first. and inciden-
la protection, but not so much pro.
lection rs 20 outweigh the cost of
production between any two coun-
'ries. He seemed to think that the
Republicans will be easier to con-
oiliate than his political opponents
TO please and convert, and this is to
be done by letting down the bars of
party fealty. In other words, Demo-
Gratis and Socialists may be cajoled
by 1orotessed principle, while his party
friends may be held by party ties,
which is very much like using speech
to muster recruits and tip of a wink
to hold in line his party friends when
the time shall come for distribution
of the prize packages.
Those who can read between the
lines will find no difficulty in under
standing just what he means in his
well-matured plan of blowing hot and
cold at the same breath.

NOVELTIES IN TAFT's WELCOME
President Taft was treated to an
unique feature in his late welcome
at Seattle. Unlike Grant, primitive
custom was a sealed book to him.
Hence the Seattle Press Club, on
Monday night of this week afforded
him an entertainment which was
largely in the classic of pioneer life,
Chinook, that was interlarded with
tie English half a century ago. in
social as well as business life. Songs
were sung in that not wholly mus ical
dialect and several native dishes
were introduced, for which our clam
beds and oyster deposits afforded
such ample scope for native novelty.
1t proved very enjoyable, and the
President entered into the spirit of
programme and enjoyed every minute.
It is an unwritten rule OF the Press
Club that anything spoken there
never gets into the papers. The re-
suit is an intimate view of men in
the public eye which outsiders are
unable to obtain.

A Frosty Welcome.

With some of the detail of funeral
of State officer in progress, the body
lying in state in a portion of the
same building, may have somewhat
moderated the enthusiasm of the
large assemblage at the Capitol
front, Wednesday, it was a matter of
note that there was scarcely a shout
at the depot on Taft's arrival, or along
automobile route to the Capitol, or
to the Governors mansion as the
finale of the reception. With the
exception of the school children at
the eastern entrance, there was
scarcely q handicap, or a demon
stration of welcome, except when the
school children mistook Gov. Hay for
Taft.
While, as intimated. much of this
absence of enthusiasm may be at
tributed to the sad ceremonies 50
soon to follow, there is no denying
the fact that the majority of the
curiosity-seekers were oblivious OF
the funeral arrangements; their 81
lence was significant of the humilia-
ting spectacle OF President TAX
ing the stump" to defend his own
acts and working all the arts of the
politician to secure q second term.
1t may be regarded by some peo-
pie inclined to superstition that as we
had had three mornings of frost be-
fore the Presidents arrival here, and
the tax-eaters felt its nipping eff
fects while advertising the event by
a perfunctory display of flags by the
children, and cheap bunting on the
grand-stand.

l. Made a Profitable Investment.

! There is woman in Seattle who
annually invests $225. 900 in delin-
iquent tax certificates on which she
reaps an income of 10 per cent. an
nually on the investment, which the
! unfortunate owners are compelled to
pay from tax, sale and consequent
| loss Of their property.
Under the present law and court
rulings, a taX-title conveyance is the
best kind of a deed, because though
void in its inception can not be leg
ally attacked after lapse Of three
years from the date of the issuance
of the deed. This three-year statute
having no exception or saving clause.
! there is strong reason to warrant
the conclusion the law will have
like effect against minors, insane
and mentally incompetent persons,
as against individuals labOring under
no disability.
y large proportion of business
men and property owners living in
Seattle. are strenuously opposed to
this feature of the revenue law; favor
the enactment of the California law,
which provides that the certificates
of delinquency draw 8 per cent. on
the amount represented thereby.
The State out of its funds on hand
reimburses the county and if the
property sold is not redeemed in five
years after notice, a deed is issued to
the purchaser at public sale. The
owners interests are also safe guard
ed by other provisions.
The people of Washington have
been long time in waking up to the
seriousness of the situation. This is
only one of the many laws that oper-
ate to the prejudice of property own
ers, many of whom may be unfortu
nate in not having the ready cash
with which to pay their taxes. Then
comes the tax certificate shark and

A HAVANA dispatch says that an
examination Of the after section OF
the batt!eship Maine, has convinced
the engineers of the feasibility OF
building a bulkhead in it and float
ing it out of the cofferdam. The fit
ting OF bulkhead will be commenced
soon as the material is received from

engines of the ship are in such q
condition that they can be restored

JOhnsOns Mistakes Repeated.

Here is what the New York ,Sun
says of Taft's round the circle" ut
terances:
Now, without mincing words,
the line of political oratory indicated
at Detroit and Grand Rapids as the
line of the Presidents carefully
planned and very extensive project,
is unfortunate unfortunate both
for himself and for the country. If
a chief magistrate who is also a
candidate must leave the seat OF
government to talk directly to the
people for six weeks or two months
on the history of his administration
and the issues of the day he ought to
have something to say that is worth
the great sacrifice of time and the
enormous expenditure of vocal en-.
ergy and nerve fluid. The course oil
didactics ought to be laid out with
the aid of a telescope, not of a micro.
scope. The present indications point,
we are sorry to say. to a frittering
away of the opportunity for great
public service. In the opinion oil
many who have naught but good
wishes for the Presidents present
enterprise he is on the wrong track;
as much on the wrong track as when
he started forth three years ago tc
show the country the man whom
Theodore Roosevelt had picked GU,
to be the second incarnation of the
soul of New Nationalism. Mr.. Tai,
has outlived that great blunder. HI
is again risking the consequences oil
an initial mistake. If he uses the tel
escope and not the magnifYing glas.
he will perceive this before he gets
much further on his way TOWARD
Pocatello and Klamath.

CHARGE OF ARSON AND MURDER
The burning of a hotel at Adna, q
small milling town, six miles west of
Centralia, on the South Bend road,
Sunday night, resulted in the burn
ing of Mrs. O. f. Shuthuff, its land
lady. whose charred body was found
in the ruins. Two hotels, a store
and stock of general merchandise,
postoffice and several residences
likewise went up in flames. A cor
oner's jury declared that circum-
stances pointed toward incendiarism.
A blacksmith, L. f. Young, has been
arrested on suspicion of arson and
the graver crime Of murder. which
the burning of the hotel was in
tended to cover. In the ruins was
found o revolver with one chamber
empty. Young, they learned, had
persuaded the woman to come to
Adna and he had rented the hotel for
her. Young's conflicting stories are
said to form part of the chain
of evidence. Mrs. Shuthuff came to
Adna from Tukwilla.

N.claYili1n boaster rs visionary,
but that he had actually deposited
checks 70 the value Of 500 900 with
Tacoma bankers, altered their opinion
from doubt to wonder.
His scheme i Is follows, baSod
upon the plan Of the Swiss Industrial
Company, to relieve the cramped
condition OF population in the Old
country, where people exc out bare
Subsistence without any chance Oh
their ever becoming independent. 1t
proposes to give to each settler
twenty acres of land, one acre OF
which is ready for cultivation and
contains house and stable. Settlers
will pay each year 30 per cent. OF
their income on the land, retaining
the remainder for expenses. and will
receive deeds soon as the entire
amount is paid.
Obradovich says he has been in
the employ Of the Swiss company the
past seven years and is authorized
to find suitable land for their great
scheme of exploitation. He has
travelled over California, Mexico and
the entire West, and finally selected
this State as the very best place for
operations on so large scale.
The lard which we will occupy
will be apportioned as follows: 2OO,-
900 acres in Mason County; 300, 200
in Pacific County. 10000 in Clallam
County, and $4,000 in Jefferson
County. This has all been surveyed
and we know it is adapted for our
purpose" is the exact language he
uses.
ObradOvich first came to Seattle
twenty-five years ago, when he took
up homestead in Western Washing
ton. At that time. he declares he
could have obtained the present site
of the Seattle Hotel by working a
month, and could have bought forty
acres at the corner of Madison street
and Broadway for $3.50.
He asserted recently that he
could place other European colonies
in this State could he obtain more
land, and said that he expected to-or.
ganize another colony fully as large
if not larger than the present one
after it sailed from Europe.
The only fear is that this may be a
scheme fashioned somewhat after
the South Sea Bubble, originated by
Harley, Earl of Oxford, England. a.
far back as I'LL, for the ostensiblt
purpose of restoring public credit
and extension of the public debt. W
to IT'S the scheme waxed fat, found
ed on a monopoly Of trade, and sup
ported by law, but finally panic en-
sued and it was found that fraud an6
villainy had been concocted and car
ried out and directors who were mem
bers of the House of Commons wer
expelled, others imprisoned, and al
suffered confiscation Of their pos
sessions. 1t may be somewhat diff
cult to see just how this can be done
but the South Sea Bubble cxpande'
for over seven years before it burst

shell covering the most dagran
