DEFEAT THAT WAS VICTORY,

A family row is a mOurnful affair as a
rule. Nevertheless il is conceivable that
the ~neighhorS may derive some innocent
amusement md perhaps some wholesome
lessons from a thing of that kind. For
instance there is the fearful shindy kick
ed up in the republican party bv the
colonel and his friends. 1t is not a pretty
thing, and it is certainly not nice. Still,
to the bystander with a philosophic turn
OF mind, there is much information to be
derived from it. For one thing. we per
ceive that it has all the carmarks of a
real Old-time family row, in which anger
n spite are about equally blended. We
discover that as between the democrats
and the prOgressives, the regulars SYM
pathize with the democrats. They arc
unfeignedly glad, not that the rcpubli-
cans lost of course, but that the progress
sives did not win. We are giving here
an extract from a speech by President
Taft the other day, in which he claims
hat the democratic victory was in reality
a republican victory in that it kept the
country from falling into the clutches Of
the Roosevelt crowd. He says:
"We were beaten in the lats election.
We ran third in the race. Why is it that
we gather here with so much spirit and
with SO little disappointment and hu'
initiation? Is it not that, in spite Of the
defeat recorded at the election in Novcm-
Der we were still victorious in saving our
country from an administration whose
policy involved the sapping of the found
alton of democratic, constitutional, rep
resentative government, whose appeals
were calculated to arous class hatred
that has heretofore been the ruin of pop,
ular government, and whose contempt for
the limitations of constitutional law and
the guarantee of civil liberty promised
chaos and anarchy?
''The result Of the Chicago convention
was a triumph for the %pcrmancnce Of the
republican institutions. the Importance
of which cannot be exaggerated. We meet
in no spirit of despair, but rather TO re
JOlCt a NI'loIy vi ID" anu olu't. ~
is true that we were defeated al the polls
by your old-time opponents, the demo
cratic party. 1t is true that we are now
going to work out again the problem Of
eating our cake and having it, too, by
showing how it is possible to change
from a system Of protection for protected
industries for one Of tariff for revenue
only without affecting the industries to
their detrimcnt and without L,Iting pro.

WHATS IN THE PAPER =?
BY WALT MASON.

The paper tells Of wedding bells and
bridal wreaths and damsels blushing;
of men who waste their lives in haste,
upon their foolish errands rushing; of
politics and ringsters' tricks, of Windy
Jims with schemes unending; of griefs
and cares and signs and prayers, and
mothers DER sick children bending.
The paper tells of prison cells where
human junk is safely herded; of
church and pew, where l and you hear
helpful sermons, aptly wOrded; de-
scribes the den where broken men have
heard the doors of hope shut, clang-
ing; describes the hall, where on the
wall a hundred priceless prints are
hanging. The paper speaks of ugly
leaks discovered in the nations cot
fers; of noble schemes and rosy
dreams, and of the sneers of ribald
scoffers; of queens and kings. of all
the things that chance on earth in
prose or verse; of pain, relief, Of JOY
and grief, and farewell tours in sable
hearses We read it all-the stories
tall of native stunt and foreign caper
with brooding eye and fiercely cry:
Great Scott! There's nothing in the
paper"

THE LUMBER MARKET.

Railroads buy lumber in the Puget
Sound market according to the amount
of steel they purchase in the Eastern
markets. A strike in the steel indus
try has delayed the delivery of that
product. The railroad yards are full
of lumber. Consequently they are not
buying any more. Consequently the
local lumber market has slackened.
That is the explanation of the pres.
ent depression in the wholesale lumber
market, according to Isaac Blumauer
and w. Dean Hays, president and
cashier of the state bank Of Tenino.
Mr.. Blumauer is one of the largest
lumber operators of this section. The
explanation came to him from the
purchasing agent of one of the trans
continental lines. He accepts it.
Simple explanation, isn't it?

"SOAKING" THE RAILROADS,

1t was not so very long ago that THE
WASHINGTON STANDARD called your at
tention to one peculiar fact: that
while with eagerness we beckon and
beg for the coming of the railroads as
one of the most potent factors In the
improvement of our undeveloped Sec
tons, at the same time through our
officials and legislators we levy this
tax and that upon them until we place
an alarming penalty upon them for
the extensions we beg them to make.
Then we sit back and wonder why the
railroad does not come.
1t is a very simple matter If we
place these two temperaments of the
public mind in direct comparison; it
is most strikingly set forth in a book.
let now being distributed by the
lines. Every time we
have nothing else to do, we soak" the
railroads; every time we ponder long
enough on the needs of this country,
we urge them to build an extension to
here or there or some other place.
Then we hear they haven't the cap
ital. Why? You know the answer as
well as any one else-capital is dis
couraged from entering the state by
the states attitude toward the rail
roads.
Here in Washington we sorely need
more railroads, yet right here ir
Washington we tax the railroads more
proportionately than any other state
IN the Union. In comparison with
the large amount of railroad building
now going on in British Columbia and
the relatively small number of exten
sions being made in our own state, we
see the direct effect of our attitude
We are retarding our own progress.
We who are so used to hearing the
demagogic attack upon the railroads
should study this situation. A fairel
attitude towards that industry we al
recognize as one of the most import
ant in the development of our un
touched resources certainly should bt

roads are hobby with most of Us,

But We 10 not believe in going to eX-

school course for one student 1t
would be several times cheaper for the
district to send the student to one of
the high schools already established,
and pay his board, buy his books, and
take care of all his expenses. This
case is given as an example of trend
to extravaganza that should be ended.
The point there made is excellent.
Too often do we fail TO take every
thing into consideration, as was the
case in this instance; too often do We
say: "Oh, we'll, they want-let EN-
have it," without getting down into
the "details of the exact need of it.
Thence come the high taxes which are
our chief complaint.

SPENDING THE COUNTY's FUNDS.

Any one, if he has the chance, will
spend somebody's else money faster
than he will his own. You doubtless
have seen that illustrated in your own
experience; we see it graphically dis
played nearly every day in the expen-
diture of city, county, state or ma
tional funds. We who may be econom-
ic and even CLOSE" in spending our
own money are extravagant when it
comes to spending government funds,
apparently forgetting that in fact it is
really our own money.
Getting down to concrete facts, take
what the Elma Chronicle said last
week concerning Chehalis county, un.
der the title, More for the Money:
One school district in this county
with le pupils wants to build school
house to cost $4,000. Another school
district wants to put il two years

We residents of this section who are
engaged in farming are seeking prod
ucts for which there is a steady de-
mand in the markets. In the dairy
business such a condition now exists
in this state; in another column in
this issue we direct your attention to
another industry in which the same
situation prevails: the growing Of
pears on the commercial basis. Local
experiments of the past and present
demonstrate the particular fitness of
Thurston county for the growing Of
pears. The sensible thing to do would
be to grow more of them. Let's do it..

A lack of interest and dearth of
candidates appear to exist in local mu-
nicipal politics. Three of our present
councilmen have announced they will
not seek reelection, and no one has
come forward to aspire for their places.
OF course, there is nearly month yet
in which candidates may file and we
presume one ticket, at least, will be
filed. Yet the present inertness is not
a very pleasing criterion of Olympia's
municipal affairs.

adopted. Time was-and there is no
denying it-when the railroads seri-
ously imposed upon the public; but in
recent years we have gone to the other
extreme and are now imposing seri-
ously on the railroads. 1t would be
distinctly to our advantage to return
to fairer basis to ourselves and to
the railroads.

Does It Pay to Mnk ?

We say, Yesl And in substantial
ton Of our assertion will cite the ex-
perience Of l.. 8. Bloomfield for the
month Of August.
During the month, four COWS were
MIXED ct the Bloomfield home In
Oakridge park; all the milk and
cream needed by an average family
of six persons was used; i've churn-
ings were had for the butter needed
on the farm, and after supplying the
home needs cream was sent to Baer's
White River Creamery SUFFICIENT to
net t98.23, for the month. A pretty
good showing for four cows and full
confederation OF our assertion that
1t pays to milk, and-send what you
don't need on the farm, to the cream
