Nice People in Politics

AS illustrating how some people ar
rive at a conclusion regarding the re-
suit of an election, or, in other words,
Sizing up the situation the follow
ing extract from a recent number Of
the Saturday Evening Post, is worth
bearing in mind:
Mr.. Croly's life Of Mark Hanna
quotes the following letter from an in
telligent Republican: I was aston
ished to see in the Union League
Club of New York-presumably as
representative a body of Republicans
as there is in the country, conserva-
tive, thoughtful men, nice people
that there was not one out Of that
whole membership whom met, not
one, who believed that Theodore
Roosevelt should be nominated; or, il
he were nominated, that he could be
elected" This letter was written not
long before Roosevelt was nominated
by reclamation and elected by the
highest proportion Of the total popular
vote that any president has ever re-
ceived. Any one whose recollection
runs back to 1904 and who enjoyed
acquaintance with conservative 4,
thoughtful" Republicans, belonging to
nice clubs. will remember that they
were quite generally Of opinion that
Roosevelt could not possibly be
elected.
This is Big Business fatal difficulty
in relation to politics. 1t circulates
through the best clubs, talking with
conservative, thoughtful members,
who themselves are either in or under
Big Business, and it discovers an over
whelming public sentiment against
whatever candidate or policy it does
not like. 1t would literally be worth
millions to Big Business if, instead of
circulating in clubs, it would 60 out in
the freight yards and county fairs and
get the opinions of the persons who
are going TO do the voting.

Political Madness

A dispatch in the daily press Of
June Sd states that Senator Jones ex-
poets to induce the president to ap-
point B. w. Coiner, chairman OF the
republican state central committee,
United States attorney Of the western
district Of Washington. This is Mr.,
Coiner's pay for the part he took in
turning the Aberdeen convention over
to Mr.. Taft. That bit of political
larceny will not soon be forgotten by
the people Of Washington. Whom
the Gods would destroy they first make
mad" 1t is lending himself to this
kind OF biacklegging that has killed
Taft. The joke of it is that, ostrich
like, he thinks the people do not see
his partnership with political brigand-
age all over the country.

The Divinity that Doth Hedge About
Our Courts

In numerous of his speeches Presi-
dent Taft, in referring to the constitu-
ton calls it the Ark OF the Cove
nant," and our higher courts as "Sa-
cred," and attacks on them as "Sacri-
lege." After reading Mr.. Connolley's
article in the June Everybody, on
Big Business and the Courts" ones
respect for the integrity Of our courts
is rudely shocked. There are on the
bench some good men and true, but
even they are too much guided by
rusty, motheaten precedent. The ju-
dicial department Of the federal gov
eminent is most venal and rotten, else
Mr.. Connolly should be beheaded.
Two Taft appointees on the federal
bench had been turned down by Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Judge Archbold, whom Mr.. Taft
appointed to the newly created com
merce court, has been caught with the
goods. The public, we apprehend,
would like to know what Mr.. Taft
thinks OF the sacredness" of Arch
bold. Will he be kicked out? Not
on your life, it would be sacriligious.

Council Declines to Consider Offer

tUulillI UtlllllHS W IUIlSluCl UIiSl
It will be noted from a reading OF
the proceedings Of the town council,
Tuesday night, that the Tumwater
Light and Water Co., declines to ac-
cept for its water distribution system
the offer OF 500 made at the reg
ular meeting of the council Tuesday
evening, May %, and makes a propo-
sition to sell its system for SIS, 800.
Some people favor giving this amount
and consider it very cheap at SIS, 800,
while a few favor the proposition on
the ground that, without regard to its
value to the town, it would bring
about the settlement OF a vexed ques-
ton. Councilmen Schubert, Robert
son, Weigand and Lindblom, who pre-
sented the resolution under which the
council took action are of the opinion,
however, that it would be waste Of
time and money to submit a PROPOSE
ton to the voters to pay Sl5.300 for
the distribution system inside of the
corporate limits OF the town, except
ing the large water main from the
company's reservoir down Commercial
street to the Lamb-Davis dam, for the
reason that it would not command the
support of sufficient number of the
voters at the polls when it comes to
voting bonds to pay the SIS, 800.
With this conclusion the editor OF The
Echo is compelled to agree after a
very careful investigation. The propo-
sition would fail for the reason that it
would not command the support OF
three-ffths Of the voters. 1t will be
rememered that The Echo stated
few weeks ago that the defeat of the
former proposition was due to two
causes: Because the people thought
the price, S21, 600, for the distribution
system, including the large main to
the Darling addition, was too high;
and because the people objected to
Wenatchee river water. The propo-
sition under consideration would be
defeated for the reason that the peo-
pie consider s15,300 too much when
the value of the main from the reser-
voir across the dam and the distribu-
ton system in the Darling addition is
subtracted from S21, 800.
A we'll informed taxpayer said to the
writer few days ago that every dollar
paid by the town to the Tumwater
Light & Water Co. for its distribution
system was for the sole purpose Of
eliminating them from the field OF op-
position. No part Of the system of the
company could be used by the town
in installing system that would meet
with the wants Of the consumers, for
the reason that the pipes are all too
small and would have to be taken up.
He further said that if the plans did
not contemplate replacing the present
pipes with larger ones the voters would
turn down the proposition. He said
the people favored not only a purer
supply Of water, but sufficient for do
nestle and sprinkling use and fire pro-
lection, else they would oppose going
into debt. .........
If any headway is made on this
water question the wishes of those
whose consent must be obtained must
first be consulted. We can all plan
and scheme as much as We like, but
after US comes the taxpayer-he who
pays the bill. II our plans and
schemes do not meet with the ap-
proyal of three-ffths of him our plans
all come to naught.

At least one Taft supporter at the
recent republican state convention,
had the manhood to denounce the
steal Of the Roosevelt delegation from
King county and voted with the pro-
gressives. J. D. Lease, the Lewis
county member of the state central
committee believed so strongly in the
square DEAF that he refused to be a
party to a shameless steal, for which
the Roosevelt convention appointed
him on the state committee Of the
progressive republican party.
