Republican Commends Lister.
(Tacoma New Herald.)

(Tacoma New Herald)
Governor Ernest Lister is deserving
of the praise of the community for the
attitude which he has assumed in The
Newcomb case. The governor has in
serted the stopper into the tear bottle
and put quietus upon the efforts to
develop a fit of hysteria in behalf of
this ruthless murderer by making the
definite announcement that there was
no possibility of securing pardon for
Newcomb during his term of Office, no
matter how many signers were secur.
ed to petitions supplicating executive
clemency. He puts the case in its
right light, in his statement that the
nature of the crime perpetrated was
too revolving to demand that the ver-
dict of the jury be set aside and this
rervert set at liberty, and states that
the fact that the woman, who was adj
mittedly equally guilty, was acquitted,
does not constitute logical reason
why Newcomb should escape punish
ment.

Press Comment
Lister and the scnntorship.

CSkagit County TimesD
Governor Lister is out with a state
ment that he will not be a candidate
for United States senator to succeed
Senator Jones next year. This must
be sore disappointment for the Repub-
lican politicians of this state who have
der that they might again get their
clamps on the political machinery of
this state. Governor Lister is right.
The people said last fall that they
wanted him to be governor of this
state for the next four years, and he's
never been found a piker yet.
The Mails in Produce Distribution.
christian Science Monitor)
A report from the postmaster gen
eral to the effect that a steadily in
creasing use of the parcel post system
in the forwarding of fruit, egg and
other farm products is noticeable will
be received with something more than
sense of self-congratulation by those
who were earnest and sanguine in
their advocacy of the innovation as
means of lowering the cost of living.
The parcel post system cannot be said
to have passed as yet the initial stage
of its development. There is much to
be learned in the use of it. 1t will
take considerable time to bring it to
the highest point of efficiency and
utility. But if at this early stage the
increase in produce shipments has
been such as to force itself upon the
attention of the postmaster general,
that fact affords sufficient ground upon
which to look confidently to the future
usefulness of the service in the COM
mon affairs of the people.

cal editor, in proportion to his means,

Going After the Trade.
(ColfaX Commoner.)

The trade territory of a town is not
all dependent upon the distance to
neighboring trading points. The trade
territory depends upon the enterprise
of the town. If town does not reach
after the trade it will come only as
fast as it has to, and the town will
grow as it is forced to. But if the
merchants go after business in the
surrounding country, advertising in
every possible way, and making good
every word of their advertising, trade
will come from an ever increasing ra-
dius, the town will gain reputation
for being awake and it will forge to
the front. 1t is the men in the town
and not altogether the men living
within a certain number of miles
away from it that makes the town
good for nothing.

tained Of anything better than a con-
tinuance of narrow, irregular traders
market. Those more optimistic are figur-
ing on further recovery of two to three
points. but this expectation is largely
predicated on the belief that the market
is heavily oversold, and also the assump-
ton that the long-overdue decision from
the Supreme Court In the Minnesota
railroad rate case will come down Mon
day and be in favor of the railroads.
In banking circles the political situa-
ton and the continued activity of the

as too discouraging for anything more
than slight and temporary rallies, with
further liquidation expected in the indus
