WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The old
custom of flashing around the world
from Washington news of the birth of
the new year at the exact momen,
that the big clock at the naval obsery-
atory ticked off the second--was not
followed Sunday night. Probably
it never will be again, according to
Superintendent veeder Of the observa-
tory.
In the past Uncle Sam has had
charge of this worldwide new years
greeting. veeder explained that the
flash message is costly, in that the
cable companies have to interrupt
their flow Of business while waiting
for It. Moreover, the novelty hat
worn off.

Despite the chilly reception accord

gressive republicanism. He spoke at
Flint this morning, and will appear in
Saginaw this afternoon and Bay City

La toilette was in high spirits when
he left for Flint. He is celebrating
his thirty-frst wedding anniversary to-
day. Last night he sent long tele-
gram to Mrs La Toilette.
4 On his arrival from Cincinnati last
night. the progressive leader was met
by the local reception committee and
escorted to hotel where he spent the

licans went into session here at 10
o'clock to perfect a state organiza-
tion and prepare for the big fight in
Ohio, endorsement of Senator Bob La
Toilette. of Wisconsin. for president
was practically assured. A majority
of the delegates favored this action, al
though La Toilette believes the en-
dorsement should be deferred.

ranks are counselling against endors.

LaFollette people answer that the
Wisconsin senator is the logical can
didate of the progressives for presi-
dent, and that his trip through Ohio
last week, when he spoke to thou
sands, proved that the great mass of
progressive republicans want him to
lead the fight.
Clifford Pinchot and Walter Houser

progressive movement, do not want an
endorsement given LaFollette, con
tending that to do SO would ALLEVIATE

weaken the progressive cause. Pin

BLUE-SKY LAWS

The legislatures of the Western
states will be in session the coming
winter The candidates in their re-
spective parties will be chosen in
the primaries, and farmers should in
sist as one of the conditions of recely-
ing their votes that these legislators
will enact in every state law similar
to what is known as the blue-sky law
of Kansas.
This law is intended to prevent pro-
motors and agents of fake companies
from selling blue sky-that is, stock
in organizations and companies
which really have nothing to sell but
blue sky; in other words, hopes and
expectations that will not be met.
In Kansas, the man who wishes to
sell stock in a corporation outside
of the state must appear before a
state official and give full and defi-
mite information as TO the financial
basis of that corporation. He can not
sell stock in gold mines or silver
mines or any other thing under the
sun unless he demonstrates to this

Pullman, Wash, Friday, July II, 1912

1t is to help those who labor and
must live that William Jennings
| Bryan has worked and kept his ideas
| before the people. He could have
retired as man Of leisure long ago
but his ambition to leave on this par
ticular page of history some record
of real good accomplished has been
ever before him.
When things were shaping them
selves so that his name could have
been given as a nominee for the
presidency he threw the chance aside
to make harder fight for the people
He saw the power of money threat
ening the leaders of Democracy and
rather than have one bought by the
power of gold seated in the presi-
dents chair he turned the tide to-
ward another man. 1t was not that
he found man guilty of having been
bought, but that he found one who
had failed to act and he reasoned
rightly that one who failed to act
was as much to be feared as one who
deliberately deceives.
Bryan's influence will be felt in
the selection of the next president.
The people at large are the ones who
follow the expressed opinions Of
| Bryan and are swayed by them.
They will knOu u,bap tbav I'll raaIJ,o
how he saw their needs before his
own that the opinion he expresses
will be from just motives. The peo-
pie will not doubt the leader who is
big enough to rise above private am
bition. If money could have bought
him he would have been bought years
ago.-Progressive Democrat, Taco

official that he is selling something
of real value.
Farmers in all the Western states
have been victimized by agents OF
get-rieh-qulck companies selling
them holes in the ground, or getting
out of them the money to dig holes in
the ground, holding out to them
hopes of finding precious metals,
oil or gas, or stock in orchard plan
tations in the intermountain states
of the Pacific slope. The blue-sky
law has put stop to this kind Of
thing in Kansas, and has saved the
state many millions OF dollars
A similar law should be adopted
in every state in the Union Why
should these states be the hunting
grounds of rascals, who, appealing to
that Unsuitable desire in most men to
get rich quick, sell them blue sky
nothing for something in the shape
of cash or notes or other obligations?
The legislator who will not put a
stop to this infamous business, and
incidentally put a stop to advertis-
ing it in neyer-stop papers, given
away or sold for a song, should be
allowed to stay at home. Wallaces'

BRYAN'S GREATNESS

There has been one man and one
man only who has never been lost to
the public eye since he rose in a
national Democratic convention
proving in one speech that here was
man to be reckoned with.
When a man is big enough to put
his ambitions aside, when just as the
highest office this country has
to offer was to be laid at his
feet he can put all his private in
terests aside and take up the cause
of the people, even at the cost of
his own, there is greatness seldom
seen more than once in an age.
William Jennings Bryan knew,
when he rose in that convention hall
in Baltimore, Md, to denounce the
money power that was seeking to
take charge of affairs and control
the Democratic party as it had con
trolled the Republican. that he would
raise such storm about his head as
would Obliterate all chance of his be-
coming president of the United
States. His loyalty to the people
reigned supreme in that moment
when he had to make his choice be-
tween private ambition and his duty
as citizen.
William Jennings Bryan swayed
the people of that convention as a
mighty wind sweeping over field of
grass The power of his speech
raised the minds of all to frenzy
and when he denounced even what
they desired most, they, in their
weakness, could merely wiring their
hands and howl.
This man is the greatest man the
country has produced since the con-
ditions of labor have been such that
champions were necessary to fight
for the cause. Since he advocated
the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver to relieve the money troubles
of the common people he has brought
forth the broadest principles the peo-
pie could understand and the oppos-
ing parties appropriate. That he
was not himself in a position TO get
the full credit of those principles was
nothing to his discredit That they
were his is well known to so many
that few are found to doubt it,
One idea has been foremost in
Bryan's mind and that is that the
people of the United States can ex-
pect little good to come from the
control that is backed by millions OF
dollars. He sees plainly that the
interests of the people of wealth can
not be the interests of those who
labor. The interests of those who
never see the sun except to labor can
not have much in common with those
who need the labor that they may
continue to be of that idle class who
live by the results of toll.

Aqain the Poor Eat Man.

Among the passengers on down
town car the other evening were fat
man, a lean man, who proved to be
deaf, and couple of giggly girls. On
one of the side streets q German band
was engaged in making life miserable
for the residents OF the neighborhood.
The fat man shifted uheasily in his
seat and remarked sarcastically to the
lean man in low tone, Music"
The lean man put his hand to his
ear and said, 'Eh?"
Music" repeated the man in loud
er tones.
Beg pardon am not able to hear,
said the lean man.
Music" yelled the fat man, so loud
that the passengers all Uttered and
the little giggly girls all grew red in
the face.
oh" said the lean man as he
turned around and looked about him.
The little German band was out OF
sight by this time, and the passengers
laughed immoderately at the vain at
tempts of the unfortunate man to find
the object of the fat mans comments.
Fat men are proverbially good ma
tured, and by that time the oddfty OF
the situation had dawned upon this
particular fat man.

laugh. Our friend saw fully as much
music as you and | heard"
