to run across the we'll curb when II

to the bottom, a distance of about l.

blocked her out although the first

the rope slipped off her and she fell
the second time. When up and on
good ground she walked off and APP

were taken from the Central Wharf
Cold Storage Co.'S plant, Wednesday,
says the Portland Press, and shipped
to Chicago. This is the first time
in years when the smoked fish have
had to be shipped Sc early to re-
plenish the supply in the West The
amount smoked last winter was
smaller than usual so that the deal
ers to the westward have run short.
In the 200 boxes sent Wednesday were
10000 pounds of the very delicious
fish. Unless there is change in
present conditions, it looks as II
finnan haddies would be scarce the
coming winter. Haddoek are now
bringing such high price fresh that
it is unwise to smoke them, the deal
ers say. Unless there are more
caught and the price drops, there is
grave danger of big shortage in the
supply. The regular smoking season
does not begin until next month, 50
that the fish may appear in large"
quantities by that time. Some had
dock have already been smoked in
Portland, but very few.

Then, because he had been the sen
ate leader Of the progressiYes, Sen
ator La Toilette and the senator's
friends thought him the right Candi-
date for the presidency, basinS his
candidacy on the support of the pro
gressives. but Fate and Theodore
Roosevelt decided otherwise and the
Wisconsin man failed of the nomina-
lion.
As the senate leader of The progress
siyes he was their spokesman before
the country: consequently the course
he would pursue after the Chicago
contention. particularly from the edi-
torial standpoint in his weekly, was
one that was watched closely. He has
done what more Republicans will do
before this campaign is over: he has
thrown his support to the Democratic
nominee.
by this act the Wisconsin senator
has illustrated again his sincerity, has
shown that he is not a mere Office
hunter, as it has developed most of
the prOgressiyes are, but that he is
firm believer in progressive principles.
has found in his past experience that
he cannot get their enforcement from
the old Republican party, knows the
new Bull Moose party so well as to
realize he can get no help from them,
and consequently has turned TO the
party which helped him in the pro-
gressive battle of the past.
Commenting on Fighting BOb's"
course, a recent editorial in Golfers
says:
In publishing in his magazine an ar
ticle by Rudolph Spreckels on why he
favors the election of Woodrow Wilson,
senator LaFollette is pursuing his diff
ficult but entirely consistent policy of
maintaining his Republicanism while
making no secret of his wish to have
the Democratic national ticket elected
this year. He feels that the course he
is taking is the best one for keeping
together and Strengthening, in various
parts of the country, the progressive
movements for which he has worked
so hard for so many years. The recent
session of Congress showed that he
had his old power to lead the progress
sive group of senators, and he is quite
frank in indicating that he thinks
that, if Woodrow Wilson is elected, he
ana the group OF progressive Repupli-
can senators will be of a great deal of
use to him in putting into effect what
ever progressive ideas he may be urS-
ing.
Who will say that the Wisconsin
senator is not right? Who will say
that he is insincere? Who can say
that he is an office hunter? Is not his
sincerity great as the hypocrisy of
Roosevelt is great? In other words,
| is not the Wisconsin senator still the
true exponent of the progressive prin-
ciples of the true-hearted progressive
Republicans who worked with him in
the past, and has he not pointed out to
them how they may obtain the suo-
cess of their principles, providing it
is principle and not mere selfishness
that actuates them?

The direct primary law may have to
an extent killed off the political bosses,
which was a good thing, but it about
killed off our representative govern
ment at the same time, and it is very
doubtful If the killing off of the poll
teal bosses will compensate us for the
loss of our representative government.
A law that will give us Bob Hodge for
governor of the state of Washington,
and Matt Starwich for sheriff of King
county, should be repealed Immediate
ly if not sooner. 1t may be a fact that
these men have not the ability to mulct
the treasury to the extent of their
more learned cousins, but the educated
man with more or less high ideals,
though he swipes a little more money
from the treasury, is thousand times
to be preferred to the ignorant and
untutored semi-barbarian.
