dependence. The bill reserved to the
United States such ownership, con-

as a commission appointed for the
purpose may regard as necessary as
coaling and naval stations, and ter

ries out the promises Of the demo-
cratic platforms of 1900, 1904 and
1908. While the platform did not fix
definite time for independence the
time fixed in the Jones bill is not too
short, it having been now over twelve
years since American occupation be-
gan. Congress has made a splendid
record in carrying out the promises
of the platform. 1t ought not to ad-
journ until this promise is fulfilled.

THE COUNTY FAIR
Directors fix date of fair in middle oil
October, and plan bigger and
better Exhibits.

The directors of the Chehalis Coun-
ty Fair association have decided to
hold the fair this year in the middle
OF October, the date being set late in
order to follow the fairs in North va
kima, Puyallup and Chehalis, and
much of the exhibits at those fairs
will be shipped here for exhibition,
especially live stock and poultry.
The directors and manager, J. E.
Calder have commenced active work
for the fair. and will not cease their
efforts until it is over. 1t is planned
to have a much larger exhibit of all
lines of endeavor than that of last
year, and additional space will be Sc
cured by decking over part of the pa
vilion, temporary structure for the
poultry exhibit and possibly another
barn for live stock.
1t is the purpose to secure high
err grade of amusement features than
was procurable last year, and nego-
tiations are now on with some first
class companies for that part of the
entertainment.

WARM SALT WATER BATH.
Fret Aid For Child That Has Been
Badly Burned.

All children will play with fire un-
less they have been taught, either by
precept or experience, not to do so.
and accidents will happen even when
every precaution has been taken. 1t is
therefore most desirable in the case Of
burns that parents should know what
and above all what MOTTO DO while
waiting for the doctor to come.
The first thing is to fie hit shock with
all the resources at command, because
shock is usually the immediate cause
of death. Too often shock is aggravat
ed rather than helped by the treatment
it receives.
Valuable time is wasted and I'M
necessary agony caused in trying to
remove the clothing; then various ap-
plications OF oil or of whatever else
the distracted bystanders may have
heard was good for burns are made
until by the time the doctor arrives
irremediable mischief is done
Do not waste time in any such way,
but Immediately prepare warm salt
water bath and gently place the child
in it, clothes and all. II the clothes
are much burned the warm water will
make them easier to remove, and the
child can be kept in the bath until the
pulse and the temperature show that Il
reaction from the shock has taken
place 1t will often be necessary for
some strong and careful person to
kneel and hold the patient in the best
position.
Even after the child has been placed
in bed with the proper dressings the
bath should be given again if there are
indications that shock is returning.
Always remember that speed is essen
tial. Even the slightest delay is dan
gerous.
Almost every one believes that in the
case of burns water is always harm
full and oil always helpful. You will
be wise to reverse the rule and learn it
by heart. In case Of burns fill the
bath with warm water, adding salt in
the proportion Of teaspoonful to "a
pint of water, and hold the child in it,
clothes and all, until the doctor ar
rives.-Youth's Companion.

republicans; although Cummins is
not as radical as Roosevelt, it prob
ably would be the case that many of
the Taft republicans would shy at
the nomination like moon eyeu hu.cu

from the polls yet, it would solidify
to all intents and purposes the now

make it harder for the democrats to

not make any mistake in the nomina-

William J. Bryan is radically oppos

may be said of the Honorable Oscar

in the minds of we'll informed people
that while these two Democrats would
make excellent Presidents of the Unit

not make good candidates before the

FOR QUlNlAUlT ROAD
Representatives Warburton Asks Ap-
preparation Of $4,000 for Road
Toward Lake

An appropriation of So, 900 to be
used in building 13 miles Of road from

introduced in the house Of representa-
tives by Representative Stanton War
burton Of Washington. This is the
second road bill which Representative
Warburton has introduced recently at.
fetcing the Grays Harbor country, the
first being for road through the In

entirely with road through the Olym.

do much, in case it passes the appro-

Of congress, to further the interests
of the residents Of the country around

AS to Jesse r. Murphy.

When the editor of the Grays Har-
Dor Post becomes possessed of a
crouch at anyone. he is in the habit
of using the columns OF the paper to
get even.' This, he says, keeps
the paper on the map and it is GER
tainly one way to run paper. Some
ti"iS> ago he had a personal Difficult,
ty with Jesse F. Murphy, the well
known insurance man of Seattle, and
has since omitted no opportunity to
take an editorial fling at Mr.. Muir
ply, somewhat along this line-the
squib being from the last issue of the
Post:
Zone of the generous provisions
of the Direct Primary law is that
it allows candidates like Jesse
F. Murphy to run. 1t is not prob
able that any representative con-
vention would ever give him a
chance.
OF course, nothing specific is al
legged in these little filings, they are
merely meant to assassinate char
acter without giving the victim a
chance to retaliate, and the above is
an average specimen. The fact is
that Jesse F. Murphy is a democrat,
and few members Of that party in this
state stand higher in the party coun-
ellis. or commands more respect from
all who know him the Mr.. Murphy.
The editor of the Herald has had
the pleasure of Mr.. Murphys &C.
quaintance for more than 25 years
and has yet to learn that he is other
than a gentleman of most excellent
business capacity and undoubted in.
tegrity. He has record as register
Of the Olympia land Office for four
years of which any man might be
proud; he has resided on Puget Sound
for more than Is years, and his life
has been such as to command the re.
spect of all who know him. Always
an ardent democrat, he enjoys the
respec. of his republican friends to
an extent that will astonish his very
few knockers next November. when
his vote for insurance commissioner
is counted.

A Bad Sign

Whenever you see a democrat de-
voting his time to warning the peo-
pie against the passion of the mob"
and the "thoughtlessness of the null
titude" and the Ignorance of the
Masses beware of him. There are
a great many dangers that are more
MANAGING than any of these. The
cunning of the greedy, the unscrupu-
lousness of the predatory, and the ava
rice of the beneficiary of special pri.
vilege-these are real dangers, and
a democrat who does not see them,
confesses that he is among them
while the man who warns the public
against the people in effect declares
that he does not consider himself one
of the people. There is no doubt that
the masses might err if they were
called upon to act while angry or
without time for investigation but
does not the same objection apply to
any faction of the public as well as
TO the whole public? Our elections
are held at stated times or after a
sufficient notice SO that the people
have chance to act deliberately. If
you can not trust the sense of JUS
tice among the people, there is moth
ing that you can trust. AS Bancroft
says, the universal conscience is the
strongest APPROACH that we have the
voice of God
1t is bad sign when a democrat
begins to hedge on the doctrines of
popular government and to become
frightened at the placing of power
in the peoples hands. Beware of

line Democrats whom we need in our
business to carry this election.
While all these comments are be-
ing made when the question is one
concerning the man who can com.
mand the most Democratic votes, you
never hear anything Of that sort said
about Champ Clark Everybody ad-
mits that he has had a wonderful
experience in National legislation:
that he is ripe scholar, as good a
Democrat as ever marked the earth;
that he has stood on every platform
and voted straight ticket and spok.
en- from every stump in this country
for the nominees of the Democratic
parry since lie became u .i.uii. Iuey
point to his record in public life and
say that it is the record of the Dem
ocratic party; that if he was wrong
in any stand he has taken, then the
Democratic party is wrong, because
he was only following the Democratic
platform and the teachings of the
Democratic party They say he is not
a socialistic, vehement and radical
Democrat who wants to stand out
for policies that are new and untried
or run amuck with the business in
terests of the country, but who wants
to stand squarely on the Constitution
and under that fundamental law of
the land, to enact legislation that will
curb the rapacity of the trusts and
the combines in the interest of the
taxpayers and the common people.
1t would seem to me then that #
the wisdom of the Democrats of this
country is to be put to a test in thu
selection of a candidate who can hes.
and easiest get all factions together
and harmonic the party in one solid
phalanx, that Champ Clark is the
man for them to nominate. He has
demonstrated his capacity in harmon.
izing the Democrats in the House of
Representatives where there are "a
many varied interests represented and
to be conserved as there are in the
entire Nation, because these men in
Congress represent the people of the
entire Nation. II he did something
there that no other Democratic lead.
er has been able to do in twenty years
why should he not be able to har.
monte the party all over this coun.
try and win a glorious victory for
the people through the Democratic
party as any man in the world.
I am not booming any man at the
expense Of any other Democrat. I
am only loyal Democrat writing

PRICE OF A PICTURE.

Terms Corot 10 Said to Have Exaetsd
From His Friend Perier.
A French paper gives the following
anecdote Of Corot: NJ. Perier, brother
of the former French president, NJ.
Casimir Perier, was a close friend Of
the great Barbizon painter. One day
it was Sunday-when he was visit
ing the artists studio he grew en-
thusiastic over a figure painting that
Corot was at work on, for on Sun
days Corot devoted himself to figure
subjects.
That is my distraction he used to
say.
NJ. Perier determined to acquire this
picture and COrot was equally deter
mined not to let him, as his modesty
would only allow him to rank as a
landscape painter.
"All right" said Corot at last, you
may have the canvas. but on one con-
it the butchers and bakers bills of
my friend Millet." VI. Perier agreed
to this unusual price and with the
painter went to find the two shop
keepers. The bakers bill came to
$4,400 and the other to $500 for the
bills had been running for twelve
years. SO NJ. perier's Corot cost him
5000.
What Il stroke Of business" com
mented the artist. MY picture was
hardly worth $500
Good stories should not be dissected,
but analysis of this one seems to show
that the Millet household spent at least
81 a day at the bakers and over 81 Il
day at the butchers, which seems eX-
cessive at the French prices of those

"a mans best friend" says Bulwer
Lytton. "is a wife of good sense and
good heart. whom he loves and who
loves him. In woman there are at
once subtle delicacy of tact and a
plain soundness Of judgment which
are rarely combined to an equal de
gree in man. A woman. II she be
really your friend, will have sensi-
tive regard for your character. honor
and repute. She will seldom counsel
you to do shabby thing. for a WON

At the same time her constitutional
timidity makes her more cautious than
your male friend. She therefore sci
dom counsels you to do an imprudent
deed"
