Praise for Wilson.
nonelas County Press. Democratic.)

douglas County Press, Democratic)
Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate for president of the United
States, is a singularly and exceedingly
able and clean candidate. Clean in
character, great in learning and high
in ideals and withal firmly grounded
in practical common sense. AS presl-
dent of Princeton college he proved an
able educator. Wholesome in all he
does he gave to that institution greater
standing than il had ever had before
and il is one of the leading inStitu-
tons of the country.
Called from the head of that insti-
tuition to take charge of great state
as governor at trying time he proved
to be a statesman as well as scholar
When called to be governor of the
state it was hOneycOmbed with trusts
of the special favor seeking classes
who profited by legislation, and had
made merchandise of law. 1t was no
small undertaking to meet with this
class which had held. dominance so
long, but he arose to the occasion and
met it well and thoroughly.
When Woodrow Wilson goes to the
White House next March he will go
there with clean hands and the power
and ability to carry out the will of the
people. Not only will he carry out
the will of the people, but with his
keen, analytical mind will be able to
anticipate the needs of the people and
will propose legislation which will be
for the general welfare.

with the quarrel between Taft, the
president, and Roosevelt, the eX-presi-
dent, and are turning to Wilson. A
quarrel which has been one of GRIM
ination and recrimination and not for
any great principle. 1t has been one
of uncovering the most brazen scan
dals in which both parties have been
connected. For instance the Archi-
bald deal just now being aired. The
"lie" has been banded back and forth
until the people have grown weary of
it. We have been made the laughing
stock of the world which has brought
disgrace at home and abroad. 1t has
been nauseating and disgusting and no
one who loves the good name of our
country can afford to vote for either
Taft or Roosevelt, which will only be
to prolOng the nasty and disgusting
quarrel.
Wilson represents clean, whole
some type of American citizenship to
whom the people turn for relief after
all these weary months of disgraceful
scenes. All civilized countries of Eu-
rope hail with delight the nomination
of Mr.. Wilson. 1t is hopeful for the
future and bright with prospects for
clean government. In the passing Of
the old regime of special privilege
disclosed by the late unpleasantness
in the Republican party the people
turn to Mr. Wilson with a sigh of re-
lief. All hail the dawn of better
things to come in the election of
Woodrow Wilson as president of the
United States in 1912

BUSIEST CITY ON SOUND.

BUSIEST CITY ON SOUND.
Seattle is dead and Tacoma is Just
waiting for the hearse. Olympia is
the only real live city on Puget
Sound"
A resident of Olympia visited Sc
attic and Tacoma recently on Q vaca-
ton trip-that was the message he
brought back. To any one who stud
les the three cities comparatively and
with q fair mind the same conclusion
will be reached. It Is inevitable. It
Is the natural result of comparison Of
business conditions. In which of the
three cities do the merchants pay
their bills Immediately to take ad-
vantage of all discounts? Olympia.
In which of the three cities, COM
paratively. has been made the most
progress in municipal and mercantile
improvements during the last three
years! Olympia. The figures will
prove it.
Where do you find the many store
rooms to let, the 'f0rced-0ut-0f-busi-
ness" sales. the empty office buildings,
many people walking the streets, out
of work? Not in Olympia.
Why?
Answer that with another question
or two Why did this Seattle real es-
tate firm buy 1900 acres of land in
Thurston county within a short ra-
dius of Olympia? Why was it COM
paratively easy to find a hacker for
the terminal railroad project? Why Is
an interurban railroad making haste
to build into Olympia from the south?
1t is solely because the people of this /
state. those business men who are
constantly on the watch and quick to !
grasp business openings in the van of i
others, have come to realize that there !
is q new Olympia and one that in the /
last three years, while the other
Sound cities felt period of depres-
sion. has constantly though conserva-
lively and consistently, forged ahead,
laying the groundwork for the position
it is now gaining as the busiest city
on the Sound.

THINGS PERTINENT TO THE CITY
ELECTION.
One Method of Cutting Down Our
Expenses Without Impairing Ser
NicC--Nhat Could BE Done.

To Tulsa Daily World
Gentlemen:--T beg permission to
offer the following suggestions as a
practical step toward cutting down
the expense Of city government
The sewer department should be
put with the street department. dis
pense with the superintendent Of
sewers; also the superintendent OF
streets and let the work be handled
by the commissioner Of that depart
ment under the supervision of the
engineering department and assign
the duties Of the two positions thus
abolished to the inspectors under the
city engineer.
The commissioner of the water
department. should discharge the dut-
les of the so-called superintendent
OF waterworks
The commissioner of police and fire
should act as chief of police.
These four changes would save the
city six thousand dollars per year.
This thought is offered as in line Of
retrenchment and is not intended to
reflect upon the appointees now fill
ing these positions.
Following up this line Of study
will develop many other opportuni-
ties where the burden of taxes can
be cut down. 1t is my judgment that
the salary paid the mayor is some
what out of balance with that paid
TO the board of commissioners, and
If the commissioners of the various
departments viii assume the duties
Of some Of their appointees It would
be~economy to pay them say 1925 O0
per month. | think that the salary
Of mayor should not exceed $4,000
per month and should be cut down 10
that figure. This last thought Is
given out with full knowledge Of the
criticism Of my motive which will
develop and is not intended to COM
nit or In any way influence or en-
marrass other candidates.
Respectfully,
c. o. FRYE.
