it was an additional fire protection.
But, when the walls were ready for the

by Mayor Knoell while Mr.. Hoefer

entire membership abreast of the
times, crystalizes opinion systemati-
cally, imparts uniformity to the agi-
tation, and will tend to confine the
discussion of public questions in the
order of their importance, and to one
thing at a time.
While the plan necessarily leaves
many of the details to be worked out
by the managing committee, it is eX-
pected that the central office will be-
come a clearing house for all sorts OF
information, ideas, party policies
questions, and a general headquarters
for all citizens interested in progress
i've principles.
The central idea is to promote DEM
ocratic ideas-to encourage the people
to reason together-to assist those
who fight on the side of the people-to
keep posted on current events-to pro-
test against the expose of all move
ments inimical to the welfare of the
public-to distribute literature-tO see
that party pledges to the people are
kept-and generally to make the DEM
ocratic party the instrument through
which the high aspirations of the Am
erican people can find expression and
realization.
The plan cOntemplates the issuance
of cards to members, and when the
purposes of the organization are un-
with Lincoln in government of the
people by the people, for the people,
will be proud to carry one of these
cards.
Since the primary laws have abol-
ished primary conventions, it is alb
sclutely necessary for those who hold
similar views ON government to get
together under some form of organ
ization to formulate party platforms
and prevent chaotic political condi-
tions that will be taken advantage Of
by the interests that find it profitable
to divide the people into warning fac
tions.
With compact, militant organiza-
tion behind Ernest Lister, great things
can be accomplished for Washington
during his term as governor, and
legislature in sympathy with his prac-
tical ideas can be elected at the next
general election.
Chairman Bignold has issued call
for the committee to meet, to take
action on the organization at Mont
sano, next Tuesday, January %, at 2.

ed by the Democratic County Central
Committee to organize the Democrats
of Chehalis county along the lines re-
Gently followed by the Democrats of
Thurston county, which is found to be
working well.
The Democratic party having won
the confidence of the great masses OF
the people because it's principles are
truly progressive, must be kept pro-
gressive, at all hazards, foes within
must be repressed, and friends without
must be attracted. The officers elect
ed must not be abandoned by the
rank and file to make the fight alone
and unaided; everyone is Interested
everyone must help--public opinion
being all potent, it must be concentra
ted-it should be quick to applaud ef-
forts of our public servants and equ-
ally quick to condemn movements
against the public interests.
In Ernest Lister, this state has a
governor that progressives can point
to with pride and satisfaction, but Mr..
Lister will need the moral support of
every true Democrat and every liberal
progressive citizen in the state.
In Woodrow Wilson, the country
will have a president who will prac-
tice what William j. Bryan preached
for 20 years, but he will be surrounded
by influences that he may not be able
to withstand, unless an aroused pub
lie sentiment remains alert and gives
encouragement.
Politics from now on must be made
the business of the rank and file
party management must be made
Democratic-the humble must be
made to offset the arrogant-the hon
est must cancel the dishonest-the
leader must follow the course mapped
out by the people.
To accomplish all this thorough Or
ganization is imperative.
The plan provides for heading the
organization with the regularly elect
ed party committeeman, provided for
in the state law, which precludes all
possibility of the organization degen-
Grating into a mere machine, because
all voters taking part in the phimary
elections, whether enrolled as memb-
ers of the organization or not, have a
voice in the selection of it's officers.
The proposition is to provide each
member with periodical that reflects
true Democratic sentiment. keeps the

WILL SING IN
GRAND THEATRE
Sebastian Burnett Concert
Next Thursday Night viii
Be Musical Treat

Hailed as an event, fitted to crown
the most brilliant of musical seasons
in the larger cities, and therefore the
more pre-eminent when the scarcity
of musical attractions granted Aber.
deem this winter is considered, the
Sebastian Burnett concert Thursday
night, January 30, at the Grand thea
ter, promises to be the one complete
success of months past, not only from
a musical standpoint, but with the So
cial side considered. The sale of seats
opened at the Grand theater box office
today. and at an early hour over 100
seats had been taken. This was with.
out other than natural publicity, and
included two boxes, the one reserved
by Mrs. S. M. Anderson of this city,
who will give theater party, and
the other by Henry McCleary, the
we'll known timber and mill owner
and founder of the little city of that
name near Elma. Word from Monte
sano and Elma is to the effect that a
large party will be down for the CON
cert, thus insuring service of the gas
Oline' motor car of the Northern Pa
cific railway for the occasion.
AS announced in the last issue Of
the Herald, Mr.. Burnett has achieved
such fame abroad as to make it al
apparent impossibility that he is not
widely known to the American public
But between Europe and America
there is a great gulf fiXed,-not only
and in practically every phase of art
A star may sing for years in European
opera houses and un,ess he has for
friends the greater critics on this side
of the water. his fame will remain
Continental only.
Mr.. Burnett has not looked for fame
until the past year, until having reach
ed a stage where the great masters OF
music abroad could do no more for
his voice, he entered professional life
in earnest Criticism offered show
how great his success has been.
No doubt rests in the minds of those
who have heard Mr.. Burnett in the
two private informal recitals he has
given here, but that genius is his and
world fame lies before him. The pub
lie in general, less fortunate than
those who knew Mr.. Burnett in the
past and who are wholly glad of his
success may be sceptical, but will as
suredly be convinced when his first
public appearance is made week
from tonight.

GETS LAND UNDER MILL.
G. w. Nnemire Wins Suit for Monte
sano Property.

MONTESANO, Jan. 22.-Judge Ben
Sheeks, of the superior court, has
handed down a decision against the
Syverson Mill company which gives
to George w. Ninemire and associates
the property on which the big $166,
600 sawmill is erected.
Ninemire sued to recover the pror-
erty and eject the mill company from
the land. He alleged that the mill
was knowingly constructed on Nine
mire's land.
The mill is now in the hands of a
receiver and is in a complication of
legal issues. 1t was to have been sold
today at receivers sale but the courts
decision will effect the sale.
