the farmers and workingmen should be
understood as the protection Of the trusts
and their allies Neither the farmer.
the workingman nor the consumer get
protection. That is reserved for their

An APPRECIATE

Bishop w. F. Mallalieu, Boston, Mass.
The books of God and the ages of eter-
nifty will show the results of the blessed
work of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union In this world, turn where
ever we may, the outcome of the sacri-
ficing, faithful work, and the ceaseless
prayers of the good women of this orga-
nization have been, and will continue to
be, the source of boundless blessings to
the human family.
The history of the union from its
origin to the present hour, has been one
of wonderful visions and magnificent
achievements. In It's brief career 1t has
encircled the globe, and wherever it has
gone, it has been benediction and a
mighty force and the uplift of humanity.
At the same time, its benehcent work
has but just commenced. 1t must go on,
and ION, and on, unil the last legalized
form of traffic for the beverage use of
intoxicants shall be done away; until the
rum business as is relegated to the place
where it belongs with piracy, highway
robbery, and cold-blooded and deliberate
murder. Surely Gods good angels watch
over the work of the faithful women
who toll to prevent the breaking of sor-
rowing hearts, and the wrecking of Chris
tan homes, and the waste and ruin and
death resulting from the use of drink.
Special words of commentator are due
to the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union for its influential endeavors and
the effective executio of its plans for
the much long needed reform in the
celebration of our nations birthday. We
have developed the custom of celebrating
it as though we were nation OF heather
barbarians and brutal savages
| thank God and the Weman's Chris
tan Temperance Union that the public
mind and conscience have been aroused,
and now from one end Of the land to the
other, in cities, and towns and villages,
more and more we are learning 70 OBJ
serve the Fourth of July in . decent.
patriotic and rational manner.
Surely all good people, of every name
and creed, ought to approve the work
and ways Of the WomaRs Christian
Temperance Union, and most faithfully
and vigorously snd persistently cooper
iatz Until final and universal victory is
won. q

John H. Perry, one Of Seattle's prominent
attorneys, returned from Spokane last Tues
day, whittier he went to look after the legal
defense Of the Press of Spokane which pa
per had been sued by preacher OF that
city for criminal libel, and 100000 has been
demanded as a soul balm. Mr.. Perry leaves
next week for Hawaii and will be absent
from the city until the middle OF February

COMMENT.

Next Monday Christendom will enjoy the
sweetest holiday of them all. Whether Jew,
Greek, or Gentle, the approach OF Christ
mas is the signal for wholesale preparation
for week of festivities and rejoicing. It's
the end and the beginning Of a new race for
the goal of success. The past may have been
pregnant with misfortunes but Christmas
morn blots out the past, evens up the balance
sheet and gives all manner Of man new
hopes and brighter prospects. The star OF
Bethlehem still leads the way not alone for
the wise men Of the east, - but for the
whole world and for him who rejects the
teaching Of Christ and Him cruclfied the
same as the devout believer of the birth,
life, death, resurrection and the ascension
of the Christ Jesus. Intuitively does man
honor and adore the benefactor OF the day,
and each recurring Christmas celebration
more firmly fixes it as the end and the be-
ginning of all things temporal. If the past
year did not bring to you such rewards as
you desired, forget it by prayer OF peace
and good will to men and week OF happl-
ness. Thankful to Him who doeth all things
well and likewise to you, who think you do,
the Seattle Republican wishes you very
''merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Theodore Roosevelt and not Robert L.
Toilette is said to be the chief stumbling
block between Taft and the White House as
his own successor. There is no doubt OF the
fact that Roosevelt stands well with the
people, but it appears to the conservative
observer that Roosevelt is drunk over his
own personal popularity, which he has
acquired by posing in the public places
while others did the work Facts will bear
out the statement that President Taft has
done ten fold more toward giving the coun-
try relief from oppressive trusts in restraint
of trade the three years he has been presl-
dent than did Roosevelt the whole time ne
was president.

and sleeping coaches. Inc hungry person
concludes it is eating time and follows. The
Jap has not the making of either a servant
or a caterer, but he is always Charley on the
job and does what you want him to do, and
that what the average man out west likes.
Hard time stories are so common to the
United States just now that even the mil
lionaire declares he is having a hard time
"getting by" His hard time of getting by,
however, is dodging the poor and needy lest
he has to give up something. But serious,
times are so close and hard that there Is lit
tie or no travel on the railroads, which
means that the porters will not have crap
money for Christmas. Hard times are not
alone confined to the Puget Sound country,
where prosperity awaits the whang OF the
lumber saw and the return of the Alaska
gold seeker, but the same cry is heard IN
the mineral, the fruit and the wheat belts
Of the Northwest one and alike Even III
the United States army posts, where the pay
comes so long as life lasts, Mr.. Hard Times
seems to hold daily seances. Surely, surely,
the United States must be suffering from an
overdose Of frenzed fnanciering.
In abrogating the 1882 treaty with Russia
it looks as if the United tSates Is splllng
fur wah'' over an insignificant matter. There
is no denying that the Russians are and have
for scores Of years shamefully, not only ap-
used, but wilfully murdered the Jews by The
wholesale, but the United States has no more
legal right to Interfere with Russia Tor
maltreating the Jews than has Russia or
some other foreign power the right to lnter-
fere with the United States for numbering
by the wholesale the Negroes, who were Tor
cibly brought to this country and Tor mef-
cenary purposes by the ancestors OF the Dor
der outlaws who are daily numbering them.
But few days ago two men and woman
