OLD FRIEND WRITES LETTER.
Puyallup. Wash. Aug. 5, 1912.
Hon. J0hn Miller Murnhv

Hon. John Miller Murphy.
Dear Sir: hardly know what to say
in regard to your retirement from the
management OF the grand old paper.
THE WASHINGTON STANDARD. In
one respect. I am glad, because you
surely are entitled to a wonderfully
well-earned rest. but there Is sad
ness connected with the word in the
present instance. because the WASH
INGTON STANDARD in the past meant
John Miller Murphy, and as 1 received
It's weekly calls for SO many years. /
could always on its arrival see John
Miller Murphy standing before me, a
picture of the noblest work of God. an
honest man battling for half a century
for the principles OF justice and truth,
frequently misunderstood. but more Of
ten misconstrued. But such is the lot
of the righteous. Cab! I know you
will say I make no claims Of that
kind.) But 1t was those who made no
claim that the Nazarine gave the credit
to, saying. Inasmuch as We did 1t unto
one Of these. my brethren. We have
done it unto Me, while those who set up
the great claims were told to depart.
saying I never knew you. And I hope
that you may be blessed with many
years of peaceful retirement. and that
you may live to see an abundant har-
vest from the good seed which you
have been endeavoring to sow for over
half century. and that 1t may con-
tinue to propagate and that many 9TH
ers may reap where you have sown,
and that you may be enabled to realize
that 1t Is better to have lived for 9TH
ers than ones self. for what shall It
profit man though he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul? And
where q mans treasure is, there will
his heart be also and know that your
treasures are not on earth. Many are
the affiictions of the righteous, but the
Lord delivereth him out of them all. 1
fear you will be tempted to say, HAS
the doctor gone crazy?" All! my broth
err, know that for many years you
have been working out your own SAL
walton. For 1t is God that worketh in
you, both to will and to do Of His own
good pleasure and that while here you
have no continuing city, there Is
place prepared for you, in that city
which hath foundations, whose builder
and maker is God.
remain most respectfully your
friend.

FOR WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS.

FOR WASHINGTON DEMOCRATS.
One thing that has hampered the
Democrats of Washington during pre-
viOus state and national campaigns
has been the lack of an adequate news
paper medium through which to con-
vey their principles and arguments to
the voters of the state.
This lack the STANDARD hopes to fill
in the present campaign, for, being
published in the state capital, 1t be-
lieves it is the logical and proper me-
dunn for such purpose. In doing
this 1t does not care or intend to con-
f1ict with the other Democratic papers
in the state and those former Repub-
lican papers that are supporting the
national Democratic candidates, but
rather to supplement them. Offering
their readers news which their home
papers are unable to obtain.
The STANDARD stands willing to aid
the Democratic state central commit
tee and any or all of the county COM
mittees to its utmost. In return its
owners are asking nothing more than
that the Democrats of the state become
its regular readers, providing they find
In the issues that come into their
hands news and articles that interest
them.

in the Democratic column, for the
Bourbous of that district are over
ioyed at the opportunity presented TO
them and propose TO make the most
of it. TO this end they have induced
their best men to file for the various
county and legislative positions, they
have entered the campaign purposlnS
to work hard and win and they are
confidently expecting success.
The Republican majority IN that
county is much less than in Thurstoh'

rHURsToN FOR DEMOCRATS.

One thing is certain and that is that
Thurston county will GO Democratic
this fall if the proper energy is dis
played by the members of the party.
for the list of candidates who have
filed includes such men as compel rec
ognition and support because of their
ability and fitness for the various DO
sitiOns.
A large lead must be overcome and
the victory cannot be won by sitting
back in chair and resting your feet
on a desk. Happily, the Democrats of
Thurston county do not display any
such inclinatiOns, for every member
OF the party is enthusiastic for its sue
cess in nation, state and county, and
are entering the campaign with the
idea OF winning and winning because
they believe their candidates deserve
success.

No Democrats In Bull Moose.

(Taccma Ledger, Perkins Pres.s)
For a candidate who is appealing
for Democratic support Col. Roosevelt
is making a very poor showing, If the
sentiment among Democrats in Con-
gress is any indication of Democratic
sentiment throughout the country. No
Democratic senator or representative
has shown the slightest desire to join
the Bull Moose party, and this is only
natural in view of the prevailing Dem
Ocratic belief that this is Democratic
year, and that Wilson is almost sure to
be elected. 1t would be queer logic
that would induce a Democrat to de-
sert a candidate regarded as win
ner for an advocate of a third party
whose chief aim is to acquire per-
sonal power. The Bull Moose move
ment, so far as Congress is concerned,
is a terrific frost.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

Acting upon the resolution adopted
at the meeting of the Democrats of the
state at Seattle last Saturday, the
WASHINGTON STANDARD inaugurates
with this issue the subscription list
for funds for the state and national
Democratic campaign which it was
suggested at that time the Democratic
newspapers of the state might conduct.
The new owners of the STANDARD
will head the list with a contribution
OF SIS. Those Democrats who care to
may send their contributions to the
office of the STANDARD, where it will be
held in trust for the treasurer of the
state central committee.
1t was the suggestion Of Chairman
Heifner at this meeting that the
names of the contributors be published
opposite the amount of the donation.
This the STANDARD will do, unless the
specifies differently.

NEWSPAPERS INDICATE SENTI-
MENT.

How strong this sentiment for the
Democratic candidates is growing in
the Republican ranks may be seen
from the newspaper comments quoted
on this page. The story of the dis
sension in the Republican ranks may
also be read there.
1t is not often that the newspapers
OF the state of Washington deign to
grant Democratic candidate a meas
ure of probable success; that they are
doing it in this campaign means that
they are prone to see the signs of the
times and are hedging" to be able to
parade around with an "I-told-you-so"
expression on their first pages the
day after the November election.

Some Election Figures I.
(Chewelah independently

The popular vote for president in
1908 was 7,677,021 for Taft, and g.
405,1S2 for Bryan. The electoral vote
was 321 for Taft and 162 for Bryan.
Taking the figures of the last cleo
ton as a basis, at time when the
Republican party was working in har-
mony, and the Taft campaign being
conducted under the guidance of Ted
dy and the Big Stick, it is easy to fig
ure out Democratic majority.

Individuals Responsible.
(Woodrow WILSON,

Corporations do not do wrong. In
dividuals do wrong, the individuals
who direct and use them for selfish
and illegitimate purposes, to the in
jury of society and the serious cur
tailment of private rights. These huge
industrial organizations we continue to
treat as legal persons, as individuals.
which we must not think of as consist
ing of persons, within which we de-
spair of enabling the law to pick out
anybody in particular to put either its
restraint or it's command upon. 1t is
childish, it is futile. We must make
the individual in the corporation re-
sponsible.'

Institute for Editors.

A five-day study for the newspaper
men of this state will be held on the
campus of the University of Wash
ingtOn, January 1917, 1913.
The tentative plan is to devote each
business, with evening sessions as
day to one problem of the newspaper
near as possible along the line of the
days work, perhaps of social or
semi-social nature. However, as plans
are viewed now, the social feature is
to be very much of minor one, the
aim being education by the method of
hard discussion of real problems.
An effort will be made to obtain
well known newspaper men from the
East or elsewhere for the lead in
these discussions.

Keen Interest Among Democrats.

\1Oll LuteEpIlSe, hepupiiCdH.y
Not for years has there been such a
keen interest taken in the Democratic
campaign in this state. Normally, a
Republican state, the Democrats u.s.
ually get little more than a casual
mention the morning after election
that Mr.. So-and-So also ran. But this
year hopes run high in the Democratic
breast.
With the election of Woodrow Will
son foregone conclusion and many
Republican seats in Congress about to
be vacated to Democrats, add to that
the awful muddle into which the Re-
publicans have plunged themselves,
there is apparently much cause for
anticipation among the Bourbons
They believe that there is more than
an even chance for Democrat to be
elected governor of Washington and
several of the brethren of statewide
prominence have their lightning rods
up.
