TU:, COUNTY AND THE LIBRARY.

Not recently have the commissioners
Of Thurston county accomplished an
act of more far-reaching possibilities
han they did this week when they
agreed to cooperate with the city in
the establishment and maintenance OF
a Carnegie library in Olympia, with
branches in every village in the coun.
ty. and appropriated $500 year as
their share of the expense.
1t now behooves the city to do like
wise. We believe the council will,
while Mayor hoffman has already
voiced his hearty endorsement of the
project. The matter will be presented
to the city council next Wednesday
night. If it is possible we would like
to see it settled then. There is no such
thing as haste when so important and
commendable proposition is under con-
sideration.
The proposal has been gone into SO
thoroughly and is so generally ap-
proved that further arguments in its
favor are unnecessary. The need Is
only too plain, the county has signi-
fed its willingness to aid in filling it
and only the city's sanction remains.
1t should be given.

the Olympia Chamber of Commerce
would do we'll to investigate the mer-
it's and dement's Of the scheme we are
making our first suggestion to that
body. AS noted elsewhere and in prev
iQus issues, we are intensely interested
in the agricultural development of
Thurston county, not because we own
any real estate in 1t (for we don't
yeti but because we believe Olympia's
future lies in the country behind 1t.
We want to see that country developed
and we want to see Olympia gain ali
the benefit of that development. This
is one way of assuring everybody that
Olympia will.

In the agricultural development of the

Despite the agitation against anv
monkeying with the tariff on lumber
and shingles, manufacturers are going
ahead with the erection of large plants
in different parts of the state; indeed,
this city. There is no intention upon
the part of the owners to employ Ash
attic labor nor is there any cry about
reducing wages-yet. Can it be that
We'll all go to perdition together if the
tariff is removed, or is there more or
less bunk in this tariff wall?

He is working for the best interests of

Accepted View Of Japan War Talk.
(Reardan Gazette.)

(Reardan GaZette.)
While there is at all times perhaps
a possibility of war with other nations,
at this time Japan having the prefer
ence among the alarmists, there is no
probability of there developing such a
calamity for some time to come. One
reason why there will not be war with
Japan soon is the fact that the trade
relations are satisfactory so far as the
Japanese are concerned. The United
States exports to that country in a
year $36,O00,00O and in return buys
goods valued at $S0.O00,OO0, a differ
ence of more than half in Japan's IA
vor. Japan has not yet fully recovered
from the effects of the war with Rus
STA, the result of which struggle re-
mains in doubt had not the United
States interfered and effected peace
terms satisfactory to all. Japan can
not afford to go to war with the United
States until some great wrong is conf
mitted that all peace measures cannot
bring about a satisfactory ending.

From time to time we notice that
Congressman Falconer of this state has

Commission Government for the State

Commission Government for the State.
(Pasco Progress.)
Why not commission form of gov
eminent for states as we'll as munich
palities? The commission form has
proved its efficiency in the conduct of
city affairs; is not there every reason
for believing that it would prove even
more efficient in comparison with our
present cumbersome system of running
the states business?
The trend of the modern science of
government is toward simplicity and
the Capitalization of both power and
responsibility. The commission form
of government is step toward this
end; whereas it would be almost I'M
possible to devise more clumsy and
complex system of government than
that under which most of the states
our own included-are now laboring.
Moreover, the present mixed execu-

Scenic Beauty Of Evergreen State.

SScnlc beauty OF evergreen state
raymond Herald)
The time is now at hand when the
Evergreen State begins to put on its
most festive appearance, and it would
be hard to find more pleasing pros
pect than that which greets the eye
when 1t rests upon the hills which ov-
erlook the river and bay, and notes the
harmonious blending of shades in the
verdure with which they are SO Law
ishly clad. From the comber green Of
the evergreen forest monarchs, which
look almost black in the shade of the
deeply wooded glens, to the lighter
hues OF the tender new leaves of the
alder and maple, nature runs the en-
tire gamut and there is not a discord-
ant note in the whole ensemble. Eu.
rope may outshine us in her offerings
|of rare art treasures and historic ru-
ms, but for natural scenic beauty one
might travel far before they would
find anything to surpass the fairness
of our own state and county.

SPENDING MONEY FOR The EXPOSITION

\ few days ago this paper, commenting on
Nhhr'S decision to spend 100000 at the San
Francisco exposition, said that Hawaii could
aff' "a to spend $15O,OOO
Since then, several prominent citizens have
asked whether Hawaii intends to spend most Of
his sim the building or most Of it on the tx
lbits inside And it is evident that there will
/" a good many opponents of the former plan.
Hawaii ought to settle this question pretty
>'.)n If the people are aversc to spend Il great
IcaI of money ON an elaborate building, the fair
commission should know it. There would then
no no need for expensive architectural plans. On
lr other hand, a large number of citizens think
hat the building should in itself be a fine ex-
hibt.
iIIc next legislature will have to wrcstle with
his problem when it comes to apprOpriating
mercy fer the commissions work. Meanwhile,
the advocates of the two opposing plans might
get ready to give the legislative committees their

meets with the approval of the greatest number
Of people. 1t is Hawaii's exhibit, and all Hawaii
is entitled to have it's say about it.
