Ill VOLUME XVII, NUMBER 80
California has decided to submit the woman suf-
fraqe question to popular vote now the voters know
what to do is they want to be popular Indianapolis
News.
Now that the sheriff of Franklin county, Washing
ton has gold STAR the gift of his deputies, it ought
to make him an easy mark for the hod-up men,
Strikes may have cost the laboring men many mil
lions of dollars within the past decade but would the
aboring people have gotten that amount if they had
not struck?
President Taft's threat to call in Democracy if Re-
publicansm does not favorably upon Canadian re-
cprocity to have had the desired effect and the
bill will pass and with it's passage the wedge that will
split the old tariff log will have been successfully
entered
From the comments on the Arizona constitution re-
Gently adopted by the voters of that territory 1T does
not meet with favor in the eete East but what IN the
devil and Tom Walker has the effete East got to do
with the kind of constitution the people of Arizona
elect themselves to live under?
George B. Cox of Cincinnati, the maker of presi-
dents and other big office holders, has been indicted
for perjury Is that another 'hoss' play on the part
of those who pretend to administer the laws OF the
land? Cox will hardly be brought to trial and II he
should be, it would prove big farce as did the
trial of the Standard Oil.
The moving of the state supreme court from Olym-
pa to Seattle would be beneficial to neither Olympia,
Seattle nor the attorneys who practced before that
tribunal SO long the state capitol IS to remain at
Olympia the supreme court which IS the part OF the
state capital and the supreme court from Olympia to
other points should be set at rest and the capital be
made permanent where it is now located.
Carnegies gift of ten million dollars to establish
perpetual peace among the nations of the world has
been ikened to holding up big sausage to lot of
fighting dogs with the injunction if you will stop
your fighting, l will give you this sausage. The
fighting is stopped not because they believe in not
fighting but for the money that is in it. Let's hope,
however that when it has stopped long enough to get
the money it will forget to start again.
It seems strange that j. Aronson, a wholesale
LIQUOR dealer of Seattle should elect himself to defy
the dry law territory voted by the citizens of Beng-
ham. He is now under arrest for the ofense and ne
should be sent to prison the limit every count Ar
onson should be sent prison for selling the rot that
he has labeled whiskey general principles, to say
nothing of breaking the laws of a community.
It is currently reported that H. L. Bobby, stat
highway commissioner Will nave TO CO. ana III case Ae
he does A. L. Valentine is being groomed for the
place Valentine has no more fitness for place like
that than an African Chimpanze and it would really be
criminal for him to be appointed to the place. 1t
seems that that department of the state government
has been imposed upon quite sufficiently without put
ting Valentine In it.
The post office department seems to be getting aW-
fulv particular less the newspaper publishers do not
send any extra copies beyond their regular subscrlp-
ton lists, through the mails which is straining at
gnat and swallowing camel If the department
would pay lsss TO the railroad trust for carrying the
mails it might not continue to behind as 1t is re-
ported doing The railroads paid more for hauling
the mails by ten times than they get for carrying
