peat, was easy but not logical. Be
cause it was easy democrats accepted
it in preference to logic, which is
never easy, and at once began jubi-
lating IN a wild confidence that the
republican party and its principles
were as dead as Caesar. They either
forgot or blinked the fact that the
last convention of republicans at
Chicago voiced the cardinal party
doctrine as strongly as the first. That
all republicans, whether progressive
with a big or little 'p,' would repel
free-trade assaults on protection, was
to be expected. That democrats,
however, did not expect it is made
plain by their cutlery since all of the
republicans but two in the house
lined up against their free-trade bill
Their press points the finger of scorn
at "deserters" and drums them out of
the democratic party in ways to re-
call those mournful lines in Barrack

Rarely have we encountered, in
politics, more amusing contretemps
than this. The st. Louis Republic, in
banishing them speaks solemnly and
sorrowfully as the judge, but the
Kansas City Star is the advocate and
deluges them with invective These
journals agree, however, that they are
outside of the democratic party for
good. Fortunately, there is light in

A LIGHT IN A WINDOW.

1T may be surprising to Progress
sives in the house of the congress to
find themselves being read out of the
democratic party because they voted
against the Underwood tariff bill 1t
is possible that some of them may be
startled to find the democrats have
considered them as having gone far
enough inside of that party to be read
out of it. Such a surprise we are
unable to understand 1t was known
last year, after the conventions at
Chicago and Baltimore had been held,
that persistence in the republican
bolt would put in the White House,
and in congress, democrats elected
on the free-trade platform Baltimore
had Illuminated. When the repub-
lican bolt was persisted in, the easy
but not the logical conclusion for the
democrats, was that the republicans
who had given them their victory
were their allies not only at the polls
but in congress.
This democratic conclusion, we re-

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, May 20
The baseball game Saturday after
noon between Washington State col
lege and the University of Idaho was
pretty much of a farce, and the kind of
ball put up on the part of Idaho ex-
plains why larger crowds have not
turned out to see the games this sea-
son. The visitors shut Idaho out IL
to 0; and in doing so they piled up
Is hits to their credit. Idaho's old
weakness, the inability to bat Satur-
day afternoon emphasized their short
coming along this line Idaho got but
three hits off Hartman
Mitchell started the game for Idaho,
but after he had allowed seven hits
and five runs in less than three in
nings, he was replaced by Perkins.
Robinson caught splendid game for
Idaho, as did Page for w. S. c. Les

secured three hits out of four times

Happens Just Before Noon.
The accident occurred shortly be
fore noon. The empire day parade, the
principal feature of the celebration in
honor of the late Queen Victoria's
birthday anniversary, had just ended
and the participants, with thousands

of the pier and surging toward the

bers mingled with the shrieks and
cries of the victims, as all went down
into a mass of broken wood ana
writing human forms on the sand.
Practically the entire landing of the
pier was wrecked and a portion of the
auditorium front fell down.
Cause Of the Accident.
The cause of the accident was the
overburdening of the pier. The over
crowd, according to an official
last night, was due to the de-
lay in unlocking the doors. If the
doors had been unlocked at the proper
time, it was asserted, the crowd
could have got into the auditorium, in
stead of massing at the doors, where
he weight overwhelmed the pier sup
ports.
Scottish bagpipers had just entered Il
he portal of the auditorium and were
till marking time when the tilnbers
we're sundered.

Mayor Directs Rescue Work.
Mayor Hatch of Long Beach, sched-
led to be one of the principal speak
RS at the celebration, was in the midst
the throng on the pier and was re-
orted to be among the dead or in
lred. He escaped unhurt, however,
nd aided by Mayor George Alexander

-ork of succor and rescue.
Drownings probably will add to the
st of fatalities.

parade had ended When the sec
ton about the doors sank they went
in with it and half-dozen police
men who had been vainly striving to
hold the. throng in check went with
them. Only a comparatively small
number of men were caught in the
trap, as most of them were taking
part in the parade. Many who were
not standing on the section which
collapsed were drawn or pushed into
the vortex, and those who escaped
crowded, panic-stricken, toward the
outer rail of the pier, starting a
wild scramble for safety.
Taking Out the Dead.
Fallen timbers and flooring were
jammed among the limbs of those
caught in the trap, and ropes were
to pull back the jagged
edges of the sunken flooring and
broken joists before the dead and in
jured could be taken out 1t was

those taken to hospitals were found
unscathed, but suffering from nervous
