1t is generally conceded that
the largest assembly hall in Puy-
aIlup will seat 800 souls.
Between 1900 and 400 per-
sons listened to Bob Hodge, the
man candidate for governor, speak
there last night at the most up
roarously enthusiastic meeting
ever held in that city.
The building was packed to the
doors, on both the lower floor and
in the gallery.
Hodge was received with a
great cheer, when he spoke of the
fight he is making against the
gang, and his voice was drowned
many times by the applauding
supporters of the progressive
movement.

CHANGE METHOD

Commissioners Woods and
Freeland were named a commit
tee this morning by the council
to consider the matter of chang
ing the methods of paying for
public improvements in Tacoma.
Now contractors get no money
until the job is done on local
Improvement districts, and then
they are paid In bonds. Woods,
Mills and the mayor expressed
themselves as favoring the sale
of the bonds by the city and pay
ing the contractors In cash.

Louis F. Hart, republican can
didate for lieutenant governor,
gave the party bosses almost a
fit of nervous prostration last
night. Louis is kind of green,
awkward political stumper. He
wanted to make a point for de-
stroying the records of boy Of
tenders so they cannot be dug
up on them in after life, so he be-
gan telling sob story about the
poor boy in the reform school.
He did not intend it but his
fearful tale was such a vivid
condemnation of the present SLAM
derous attack on Bob Hodge that
the old politicians who were run
ming the Hay meeting felt like
throwing a brick at Hart.
1t Is good. guess that Louis
today has been given implicit In
structions to keep out of sob
stories when he tries to make a
speech.
Here is Hart's story which he
got off last night:
THE state takes a boy who had
poor surroundings and no care
and got to going wrong and puts
him in it's training school and
makes record after his name on
the book Liar, thief, sneak Then
it begins to train him up. BY
careful training it makes a man
of him. He goes out an upright,
honest young man determined to
do right. He goes to work, saves
his money, becomes recognized in
the community as an upright,
honorable young man. He mar
ries, begins to raise a fine fam
fly. He prospers in business,
builds himself a home and is
looked upon as one of the best
citizens. Finally some one sug-
gests that he run for office. They
want him for mayor or congress-
man or some other high office.
He is induced to enter the race.
His character Is above reproach,
his record is honorable, but now
what happens? Why some sneak
ing, skulking scoundrel begins to
dig back into the past They go
down to the training school and
they get hold of the old book and
they come out and publish the
record there and they say:
Look here, why this man is
a crook. Here is what the state
record shows him to be, "liar,
thief, sneak" and that record is

TOO GREAT FOR INDIVIDUALS

In his address before the CONNER
cial club Friday night Professor Ly-
man told of the magnitude of the
transportation business of the coun-
try. The combined receipts by the
railroads of the country make a fear
full sum. 1t is a sum compared with
which the national expense seems
small and is small.
A conclusion which Professor Ly-
man did not draw but which thought
full men are fast drawing is that a
business of such magnitude and i'm
portance is entirely too great to be
under private control. No group of
private individuals, no matter how
wise or how capable they may be,
should be allowed to hold the well
fare of the country in the hollow of
their hands as do the railroad mag
mates of the country.

FOR THE LAST TIME.

To whom the republican nomina-
ton will go this year is still a mat
ter of doubt and it is by no means
decided who will lead the democratic
forces in the presidential campaign.
But there is one point upon which
there is almost unanimity of opinion
that the two conventions now assemb-
ling will be the last great gatherings
of the sort to be held.
The declaration is made everywhere
and by members of both big political
parties that never again will a presi-
Dental ticket be named by a con-
vention selected by the old time pro-
cess. The nominations will be virtu-
ally decided when the preferential
primaries are held in the various
states. 1t will merely be up to the
national conventions to ratify the
choice of the people and to prepare
the platforms.
The new method will be cumber-
some at times and will be open to OBJ
jections of course. But in the main
it will be a wholesome reform. 1t
will take the control of nominations
out of the hands of the machine poll
ticians. 1t will give truer expression
to the popular will and will hasten
political progress. 1t will be a step
towards political cleanliness. 1t will
put an end to steam roller methods
and all the jobbery that accompanies
the same. 1t will put an end to the
power of the mercenary southern dele
gates in the republican convention
an influence that should have been
tabooed long ago because it is an out
rage on national decency
Let the warning factions at Chicago
make the most of their opportunity.
Let them call each other liars, thieves,
towards, crooks and boodlers. 1t is
the last chance they will have for such
performance.

NAIL BY AIRSHIP?

Will the time come when if an o.
W. r. & y. mail train is delayed by
slide or wreck the mail will be brought
on by airship? 1t seems possible
from efforts being made towards de-
veloping the air mail service.
Post office experts in Colorado and
New Mexico are predicting that with
in year airships will be carrying and
delivering mail in towns and villages
inaccessible in times of flood and
snow to the packhorse and the burro,
says San Francisco paper.
Congress has been asked for $780,
900 to try out the experiment., and a
corps of aviation volunteers may
speedily be recruited who will be fly
ing from the Grand Canon to Breck-
enridge and Leadville when the roads
are impossible.
The Western officials base their
prediction of success on the good re-
suits obtained by Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock last year in the East
when 10000 pieces Of mail we're taken
care Of by aeroplane delivery in ten
days.
In both England and France the
plan has been successfully tried out,
and the experiment of the depart
ment last Autumn, when an aviator
dropped mail sacks over a three
hundred mile course starting in Min
nesota, is worth remembering.
The conquest of the air is going on
rapidly. Tourists may see in year
or two their mail dropped from the
clouds as the aero mailman goes

Well, that suited the theatrical folk.
No one knew just who was who among
the Arabs, anyway, and 1t is a nuis-
ance to try to talk to a tall, sarri-col-
ored man who has no English what
ever, but regards all white persons as
foredoomed to everlasting fire. So
Mali Uli got the salary money in a
lump and dealt 1t out to suit himself.
No one suspected that anything was
wrong until one night. When Mali
Uli was found penned in a fly loft,
with a number of his amlable breth-
rem sitting underneath pensively
sharpening their knives. They plan
ned to take Mali Uli apart when he
came down. Until he came down
they thought of sitting there, sharp
ening. Inquiry developed that Mali
Uli had withheld an undue percent
age of the moneys due. I'VE think" "

\ ROTTEN MESS.

When the steam roller crushed
out, the Roosevelt delegates from
Washington and Texas Saturday it did
raw work. Necessity was the only
excuse that could be offered and
seemingly it is the only thing said in
defense of the national committee,
Had they not been hardened by the
viciousness of the work being done all
around them the committee would
not have stood pat on those cases. AS
it was they held their noses and did
the job upon the rum.
Should Taft win the regular nomi-
nation and Roosevelt bolt, the boilers
will take delight in pointing out with
fiery rhetoric the shamelessness with
which the committee threw out the
popularity chosen delegates from
Washington and Texas.
All the argument, however, will
not be with the Roosevelt side. The
Taft supporters if they wish can point
to the freedom with which the cof-
fers of the steel trust were thrown
open to the colonel and to the obvious
fact that the trust is opposing the
president because of the prosecution
of the harvester trust. Furthermore,
the Taftites can say with truth If they
wish to do so that brazen though they
may be they have not made use of

LEARNING BUSINESS WAYS.

It occurred to George Tyler when
he hired a bunch of Arabs to do a
stunt in "The Garden of Allah" that
he had best have an Interpreter, says
the New York correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Times-Star. Tyler once
tried to talk to an Arab on his fingers
and the memory of the grave pity
which appeared on the face of the
dignified individual makes the theat-
rical man writhe to this day. He
employed Mali Uli in that capacity.
Mali Uli, interpreting the sentiments
of his brethren, stated that they were
highly pleased. "And they beg Of
your charity that you permit them
