THE PASSING OF BAILEY.

One by one the old guard is passing.
The last week saw the retirement Of
Bailey of Texas. The last election
saw the passing of Cannon, the last
year the retirement of Aldrich and
Lorimer and Clark and others. Taft,
their leader in the last foray, passes
March next-certainly we are living
in an era fraught with many political
changes.
Significantly, Bailey's public career
marks this change in American polti-
cal life. He is of the type this coun-
try can well afford to lose; though he
was once a Democrat he had so far
lost his Democracy that we commit no
heresy In making that statement. A
brilliant man, one of the imposing flg-
ures mentally as well as physically in
the United States senate. he permitted
his Democracy to be subserved by the
old guard, his brilliancy to be won
over by little shows Of favor. bv suav-
ity and by protestations Of admiration
from those who used him for their
own ends.
He was an ''unwashed" Democrat
when he entered Congress years ago

OLYMPIA AND THE ARCHES.

Somebody should pay for the arches.
It appears that those who originated
the idea have not been doing that for
the last month. whence comes the rec
ommendation Of the Chamber Of Com
merce that the city take them over
rather than permit the electric light
company to carry out its threat to
turn them out.
We believe it is q good suggestion.
The cry that the city has no money
has already been raised. We suggest
that 1t means an increase of but $3.50
q year in the cost of the city govern.

this amount to keep its business dis.

to assume these arches Is now pend.

be passed next Wednesday night. We
see no reason for any delay. The

and as such they eNould be assumed
and paid for by the city of Olympia.

(Tolt Enterprise)
Governor-elect Lister seems to think
that there is much to be desired in
the manner in which state appropria-
tions are made and handled. He had
some calstic comments to make while
in Everett with the way the money
had been spent. for instance at the
state reformatory at Monroe. 1t is
possible there will be weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth among
the politicians who have been used to
handling state funds.

Wilson's Firmness Admirable.
(Colfax Commoner.)
Woodrow Wilson has left little
doubt in the minds of the public that
after March 4, 1913, he will be presi-
dent of the United States. Wilson has
shown that he intends to be president
in all that the word implies and his
firmness is awakening admiration for
the man who made such a good gov
ernor in New Jersey.
who VIII Succeed Senator JOnese
(Pasco Progress.)
No great degree of political sagacity
is required to predict that Senator
Wesley Jones of North Yakima will re-
tire to private life when his term ex-
pires IN 1914. 1t may be that Senator
Jones will emulate the example Of his
predecessor, Senator Samuel Piles, and
resign; but in any case the Yakima
solon will never agin represent this
state in the halls Of Congress and the
question as to who his successor will
be is already arousing interest among
politicians.
Many astute politicians believe that
A. J. Falconer of Everett, who was
elected congressman-at-large on the
Bull Moose ticket, may succeed Jones.
Falconer is clean and competent and
today is one of the most popular men
in the state. His term at Congress is
sure to strengthen his popularity and
it is at least probable that he may be
the strongest candidate in the field two
years form now. c. J. Heifner and
Hugh Todd of Seattle are mentioned
as Democratic candidates and both are
able men who would be credit to the
state. Either of these men would have
little trouble in defeating Jones. 1t is
too early to definitely forecast what
candidates will be in the race, but it
is probable that the three men above
named will be important factors in
the senatorial situation in 1914 when
the voters of Washington choose a
successor to Mr.. Jones.

BALLOON CONTEST CLOSE
Only 91a Miles Between Good

Kansas city. Mo. July 6.-Five or six
days will elapse before the Aero club OF
America announces In New York the Off
clal winner Of the national balloon race
that started here on Friday and ended IN
Eastern Michigan. The Aero Club Of
America must examine the paragraphs Of
the balloons. which all the pilots have
sealed and forwarded 10 New York. The
exact distances covered by each balloon
must be computed on the aeronautical
maps Of the Aero club.
The fact that the nearest official meas
urements. made on an unofficial aeronau-
teal map last night, show only nine and
one-half miles separating the Goodyear
balloon. of Akron. Ohio. which is accord
ed first place, apd the Kansas city II,
which is credited with having finished
third, makes interest keen In the ofhcla'

stand tonight the Goodyear is credited
with having flown 647i9 miles, the Kansas
