STATE DEMOCRATIC HEAD
QUARTERS.

There is some talk among leaders OF
the Democratic party in this state that
state headquarters should be main
tanned at Seattle from now on, to aid
in the work Of perfecting state or
ganization and in binding together
those hitherto scattered elements in
the party whose disorganization caused
the greatest part of the difficulty en-
countered in the campaign just closed
We believe such a move the wisest
the Democrats of Washington car
make. While the Republican state
chairman, Werner A. Rupp, is trying
to make q sort of secret society out of
his depleted ranks, with bitter expert
ence as the initiation fee and so cents
a month as dues, Democrats should
not overlook the fact that a victory
four years from now will be even as
essential as was the one just won and
that it takes preparation and organiza
ton to insure that victory.
A state headquarters should be main
tanned, by all means.

THE COUNTY FAIR AGAIN.

1t might be added in passing that
this is no time for US to forget the
value of a county fair. 1t will be a
great factor in this development and
the accompanying demonstration farm
if one is possible. will be equally as
important in improving the conditions
we have to offer.
The people of Thurston county illus
trated in the recent election and its
preliminary campaign on this point
that they want a county fair but prefer
some other means of obtaining it than
the one offered. The preliminary foun
dation work should be laid this winter
and gotten we'll under way, so we can
assure ourselves of fair next summer
or early fall and one that would not be
failure because of hasty preparation
Steps with that end in view are now
under way. Let us give them all the
impetus we can.

FOLLOW LACEY'S EXAMPLE,.

The enterprise and the energy now
being displayed by the ranchers living
in and around Lacey bids fair to has
ten the development of that rich agri-
cultural section. as it should but also
illustrates to us in Olympia and to far
mers in other sections of the county
what we should be up and doing right
now.
This is the energy that wins. 1t is
what made the Yakima and the Wen
atchee valleys what they are-it Is
| nothing more nor less than that often
misused and yet most powerful factor
! in modern progress, advertising. Tell
ing the people what you've got is ad
yeriising and that is what the Lacey
| farmers are doing.
The members of the local Chambe~
of Commerce displayed the right mo-
tives when they sent exhibits from
| Thurston county to the Northwestern
Land Products show now on in Min
neapolis, exhibits which will become
part and parcel of an educational dis
play train which will be sent through,
out the East and Middle West during
the coming winter.
But they do not want to stop at that
They do not want to forget something
the Lacey ranchers apparently realize
that the work of this nature must be
carried on closer at home as well. The
sending of exhibits is but the first
step, worthless unless properly follow
ed up.
Southwestern Washington was neg
lected more or less in the great real es
tate boom that built up Eastern Wash
ington, but Southwest Washington
should benefit just that much NOR
J from the experience of the section
, across the mountains. We saw there
, what produced the results: active de
, velopment work by aggressive real es
: tate firms, and we should bring tina
, lever to work for the development o
; our own county.

EXIT SAM PERKINS.

We might rejoice over lots of things
in the campaign just closed. We might
write eulogy on Governor Hay. We
might ascribe mighty power, influence
and honor to the press of the Pacific
Northwest; we might gloat with the
farmer over the fact he can dig his
potatoes and sell his hogs and harvest
his crops for the next four years with
out fear of eternal damnation and a
country gone to the bowwows.
We might do that and much more.
1t is not worth while now, though, for
at the present writing the people of
Washington have one great big thing
to be thankful for-the political demise
of Sammy Perkins. Time was when
Sammy could crook his finger and the
big ones"-the figureheads-would
come at his beck; but Sammy's
strength is gone, the crook of that lit
tie fingers encircles only so much air.
Sammy may not care-we doubt if
he is jumping up and down and clap
ping his hands in glee-he may hope
to come back" as Jeffries did, or
Boss Cox of Cincinnati, but the gong
has been rung on Sammy now and
where there was one eager to give
him combat in this last state cam
paign, there will be hundreds four
years from now. 1.-THE old order
changeth"-and Sammy goes with it.
Who is there to mourn his loss?
Attorneys and judges once were
made at his within, postmasters ap-
pointed, collectorships doled out, and
the petty things Of patronage in state
and nation. Sammy plucked the gold.
en- goose clean while he had tit
croaked in its last great squawking
and squirming to loose itself from his
clutches.
The fight was between Sammy Per.
kins and the people in this last cam.
paign, and Sammy lost. We may be
presumed now to 60 ahead and at
tend to our business, as a state, JUS
as If we really knew how to do it.
without the aid of Sammy's protect
ing, pilfering hand. We may, as a
state, be presumed to select our own
officials, make our own appointments
run our own government, buy little
meat now and then and some clothes
for the kids, play at legislation and
administration and perhaps do the
very ungrateful thing of really saving
the people some money. We will do II
Sammy may wonder how. may won
der why we can roll over in bed pc
litically without previously consulting
him. but it may be that after he has
wondered awhile, he will see the light
You never can tell, you know, what
will happen these days. Politically
Sammy Perkins is dead-should we
not rejoice and be glad?

Want Grade Crossings Law.


Every means possible will be exerted
by the public service commission of
Washington between now and the con-
vening of the legislature, and until 1t
is successful, to secure the enactment
of legislation which will give it power
to abolish dangerous grade crossings
in this state. At present the commits
sion has power to prohibit the con-
struction of grade crossings on high
ways now being or to be constructed
over railroads and on railroads being
constructed or to be built over high
ways. 1t has no power, however, to
demand separation of grade at cross
ings already in existence.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Jamee
Bryce, British ambassador to the Unit
ed States, has rendered his resignation
and will return to England. There has
been no official announcement of the
resignation, and the embassy will
make no statement.
There has been no break in the har
monious relations of the distinguished
Englishman and his government, but it
has been an open secret for some time
that Mr.. Bryce, advancing in years, de-
sired to surrender his post and give
entire attention to the completion of the
literary work that has occupied so
large part Of his life.

DEsPIcABLE TACTICS.

Despicable tactics become despicable
men. The course taken for the last
two weeks by Governor Hay and the
newspaper whose creature he is fol-
lows naturally the course they pur
sued throughout the campaign-noth-
ing too mean. nothing too dastardly. to
gain their selfish ends.
The bald attempt to steal the cleo
ton from Ernest Lister reveals their
caliber in the true light. We saw it
in the peanut politics of the prelimi
nary campaign, when Hay induced
Hodge to run for governor to takes
votes away from Lawrence, Case and
Paulhamus and thereby to insure his
own nomination; we saw it again when
this same man Hay turned on Hodge
when the latter seemed likely to de-
feat him, hired a worthless woman to
turn against the father of her children
and then hid behind that woman with
the smirk of responsibility. We saw
IL III COuuIlCoc ways, III tuC UOlu puI-
chase of country newspapers. in the
circulation of lies by Hay about the
states financial condition, in the de-
liberate suppressing Of his own state
treasurer's report showing the state
going into debt at the rate of $1,000
week. and in the claiming of credit for
progressive legislation he fought when
it was before the legislature.
Nothing is too low for him. nothing
too mean. A man who will do what
he has done so far in a vain effort to
win election will stop short of nothing
in an attempt to turn defeat into vic
tory. If he does succeed in his dis
graceful efforts it will be by the clear
est case of stealing this country has
ever known.
Luckily the people at this last cleo
ton equipped themselves with weap-
on that can be used in such an emer-
gency. We hope it will not be neces-
sary. We hope Hay will have the good
sense and good grace now to admit his

Commerce Court Is Doomed.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 15.-
Abolition of the court of commerce
and change in the political complex
ion of the interstate commerce com
mission will be important results Of
the election, it was pointed out today
by traffic experts here.
The death knell of the commerce
court was sounded with the Democrat
ic landslide. Democrats also will con
troll the interstate commerce commits
sion within two years.
The life of the commerce court is
now limited by act of Congress until
March 4 next. This court, the pet
project of President Taft, Is bitterly
opposed by Democratic leaders.

Wall Street Responsible.
(Warden Herald.)

Those who are already predicting
hard times as result of the late pres
idential election had better take to the
woods at once. There is no room here
for pessimists Of this order. Hard
times come whenever Wall Street says
the word. Elections have nothing to
do with it. The Rockefellers and the
Morgans need only to want panic
and 1t is here, regardless of whether q
Republican or a Democrat sits in the
presidential Office. To what extent
these influences will dominate the Will
son administration remains to be seen.
The best thing for all to do is to sub
NIT gracefully to the will of the ma
jority, to discard any forebodings for
the future and lend hand for the fur.
Their advancement of both state and
nation.

This liz BETTER Still.

(Mabton Chronicle, Progressively
AS to the apprehension OF hard
times because of Democratic success,
there is absolutely no ground for it.
Democrats are not so DESTROYS of hard
times as to force the country into
bankruptcy. So far as hard times are
concerned there are two factors in our
national life that have more to dc
with hard times than any laws ever
framed. One is that the people are
easily scared and withdraw a certain
per cent of the circulating medium.
The other and greater cause is that
capitalists deliberately close up works
to force favorable legislation.

Wilson'S Great Opportunity.
(Cosmopolis Cosmopolitan.)

Mr.. Wilson has the greatest Oppor
tunity ever presented 70 a president.
With a Democratic house as he is sure
to have and with the prospects good
for q Democratic senate, Wilson has
the opportunity to bring the people out
of the dark, to lead the INTO better
things. Wilson and Democratic Con.
gress can give justice to the people and
can emancipate them from the damna-
BILE clutches of big business.

whole dern United States. And the
funny thing about it is that the old
line Republicans are blaming it all on
Roosevelt and the Progressive party.
They can't see or il they see they
won't admit that the Republican party
committed chxff kari at Chicago last
June. The standpatters have for years
refused to see the trend of events in
political circles. The Democratic up
heaval two years ago which resulted
in a Democratic Congress taught no
lesson. The great Socialist gains OF
two years ago meant to them nothing.
The initiative, referendum and recall
were signs of an unrest among the peo-
pie, it was true. but the people would
forget them after awhile.

This Is Mere Like Ii.

China Chronicle, Republican,
Many have prophesied that hard
times will come in along with Wilson.
This is extremely unlikely. The coun-
try is fairly prosperous now, though
business in general is not just as It
should be. But prosperity is on the
way and times will almost surely con-
tinue to improve. Of course, laws that
would seriously and radically change
the tariff and monetary legislation
would cause panic. but Wilson is too
much of a scholar and of a statesman
to allow laws to be enacted that would
ruin the country, his own political flu
ture and the Democratic party at one
time. The Democrats are going to be
mighty careful, and they will do all
they can to give us good times and a
good administration. Cleveland's last
administration got them into babe re
pute, and they will do all possible to
change the reputation of the party.
