JONEs-AND GETTING 1T.

Rather naively and yet quite forcibly
Senator Jones sought to convince those
who attended this banquet that gov
eminent aid such as Olympia wants
would be assured the city II he were
returned to the senate, further than
which "deponent said not"
Such undoubtedly would be the case
II the national administration and the
congressional majority were Republi-
can; but as the conditions are, this
state would fare far better when it
comes to getting share Of federal ap.
preparations were it represented in
Congress by Democratic senator. The
mere observance Of the etiquette OF
senatorial courtesy would insure that
the state Of Washington needs a
senator and congressional delegation
In partisan harmony with the admins
tration and in sympathy with It's pol
icies. II for no other reason than, be
ing In accord with the dominant party
It would get Its share of the benefits
that party has to dispense. There are
far more weighty reasons than that. o.
course, reasons of doctrine, policy and
civic truth, honesty, progress and de
velopment: but this fact is also o.
considerable weight.
The majority can be depended upor
to care for its friends before it attends
to the wants Of its political opponents
be it Republican, Democratic or what
not" The Republican party did it dur
ing all its years of domination. and
now that 1t is no longer in power il
can be presumed it will receive in re
turn the treatment it melted out.
So we must differ with Senator
Jones. Olympia will fare much better
in this matter of government aid fol
its harbor development if Democratic
senator is elected next fall

The appointment of William R. Roy
to be state highway commissioner, an
nounced by Governor Lister this week
appears to have been a particularly
happy selection from all standpoints
and especially from that one for which
there is a crying need all over the
state: the actual building of roads.
Mr.. Roy has had lifelong experience
in the contracting and bodybuilding
business. is practical builder and an
excellent executive, and consequently
a man who will see that the peoples
money is spent where they want it
spent: in building roads.

Eldridge Wheeler of Montesano will
make an excellent regent for the Uni
versity of Washington. Public educa-
ton has been his lifelong profession,
though it has been in the schools and
not the colleges; the influence he will
bring to the board of regents of the
state university will therefore be an
influence that will draw that institu-
ton closer to the people of the state
and will make the university's work
more directly completion of that
done by the public schools.

Where the Farmer Lost Out.

Will some one please explain why in
1897 when hogs were selling at $225 on
foot, that one could buy bacon for 10
selling at ~ to cents per pound on
foot. bacon now costs 35 cents a pound !
The difference between the selling
price of hogs and bacon was then Z
cents pound; the difference between
the selling price of hogs and bacon is
now 81 cents pound. Does it not
seem plain that somebody besides the
farmer is getting the big end of the

For some years now the medical

carving parts of people off, and trying
to find still other parts that need par

graft missing parts on. There is this
about these medical fellows: you can
never catch them sitting around doing
nothing. If they can't cut parts of you
off, they will find something to tack on.

Plenty Of Use for the OIL.


Some people are thinking that if oil
is found in this section it will be of
doubtful utility on account of the fact
that the present production is beyond
the demand. A recent writer in the
American Review of Reviews shows
the fallacy of this assumption. This
writer declares that the age of oil is
just around the corner, and the own

of oil wells are going to have to do the
worrying. The railroads of the coun-
try are equipping their locomotives
with oil burners at fast rate, and

piece of coal. The time will soon

but crude OIL 1t is cheaper than coal
and is much more easily carried and
handled.

Attorney Generals Ruling Hurts.


An opinion rendered last week by
the attorney general of the state will
make serious trouble for many munic.
qualities II objections are raised. This
decision declares that municipalities
owning their own water system have
no authority to furnish water outside
the city limits. 1t would seem to be q
very unwise law that would prevent a
city from furnishing where it had an
over supply and water could be sold at
a profit. Kent is receiving a nice rev.
enue from water sold outside the city
limits and could easily sell more if the
city was in condition to extend the
system.

The Tariff and the Cost Of Living.

Organs Commoner)
Thirteen out of the 40 articles that
enter into the primary cost of living
have been taken off the dutiable list
and placed on the free list by the new
Democratic tariff law. Two only of
the 40 were on the free list as arrang-
ed by the Republicans. In but one of
the 40 was no change made by the Dem
ocrats, but in every other item the re-
duction ranges from 80 to 20 per cent
Does anybody really doubt that the
cost of living will be reduced under
such conditions?

Once upon a Time there was a Fan
who knew the Baseball Blue-Book
Cobb to Schlossberg. He could Tell
Merkle's record in any Game in the
Season n could Repeat from Mem
DRY all of the Clubs in the American
Association.
He was a Bug.
AS is not ~infrequently the Case the
Bug loved Bum Jokes as the Peanut
Boy loves Ladies' Day. He liked moth
ing better than to entertain his
Friends with Puns on the Names Of
Prominent Players. 1t was Said that
he sat up nights thinking of New
Ones, but hat was not true. He may
have sat up all Night but he never
thought of new Stuff. He peddled
the old line all the time but went big
because of his ability to Throw the
Bull. In fact the Bull couldn't last a
Round against him. He Won in
Straight Falls every Time.
One Day the Bug went to a Town
in a Bigger League. The First Night
when He stood in the Cigar Store
throwing dice and trying to Come his
Old Stuff on the Big Noise, the Boys
s~quelched him by Telling what Cohn
said. The Bug stood it for a Long
Time; then he decided to Go them
One Better.
He pulled out an Envelope bearing
the words, National Baseball Com
mission A Circular had come in it,
but the Bug forgot to Mention the
Fact. Inside he had a Letter from
Connie Mack, who is said to be a
Prominent Manager, which was a
Wrothy request that the Bug stop pes
tering him. But the Signature was
good. That was all the Boys got to
See.
Now will YOU Listen to Me?" said
the Bug. They did. He made them
buy Five Rounds before he would con-
sent to Recommend a single player.
