hard, and no nice place to light.
That's a good fight the Trib put up
against the venereal disease quacks,
even if it results in losing advertising
for Hearst papers.
In some ways the Trib hasn't much
sand, but it goes so much farther
for the public than the Examiner
does that there's no comparison.
Now let the Trib go after the fake
cancer and consumption cures; in
fact all medicines that pretend to
cure incurable diseases.
We would even include stuff that
pretends to grow hair on bald heads.
The newspaper that publishes the
advertisements of quacks is as bad
as the .quacks are. His price for 81
lence is the cost of the advertisement.
Hearst, is now thanking himself on
the first page of the Examiner for
freeing Bells, prosecuted for ritual
murder in Russia.
This reminds us that not long ago
resolutions on Bells were offered a
Chicago Hearst paper for publication,
but the paper wouldn't print the reso-
lutions unless accompanied by reso-
lutions thanking Hearst.
We can now begin to understand
why so many people write letters of
thanks to the jumping jackass of
American journalism.
If City Comptroller Traeger wants
to sell city bonds to the people, why
in thunder doesn't he issue them in
denominations of less than 81, 900?
If he made them 500 bonds then
the people might have a show. For
500 invested in city bond would
be better than in a savings bank.
Darned few of the people of any
city have $1,000 lying around loose.

REsUNING THE ARGUMENT.

Somewhere down in the wilds of the
Columbia river in little town called
Cathlamet there is an editor whom we
would like to know. Our reasons are
entirely selfsh-he has gone out of

to thank him personally.

Probably no one single thing will adj
vertise the agricultural possibilities of
Thurston county so much as the fact
that one of it's ranchers went into the
heart of the apple county at the state
fair and in statewide competition won
first prize on Wealthy apples, in spite
of the oft boosted prowess of Eastern
Washington apple orchards. 1t should
settle once for all in our own minds,
too, that we can raise as fine apples
here as anywhere else in the state or
in the country, if we but take care of
them, and whatever applies to apples
applies even more strongly to the 9TH

abundantly here. you can raise as

farmer who did take care of his apple
trees is a sufficient endorsement Of the

THE RESULT
BY WALT MASON.

The season is pretty near ended, the
season for swatting the flies; our la
bors have surely been splendid, and
doubtless our motives were wise. We
swatted when drearily sober, we swat
ted when all lighted up, and now that
it's October, o say, is there joy in our
cup? We killed off the flies by the
bushel, ay, millions and millions we
slew, and murmured, "The whole
measly push'll be slain in a season or
two" Buoyed up by this hope of
achieving, we switted and swatted and
swote, all over the furniture weaving,
to capture some bluebottle's goat. And
now at the end of September our feet
have grown weary and cold; l try, but
cannot remember when flies were so
sassy and bold. They buzz round our
heads by the million, and nothing
their efforts can foil; they crawl on
the panes by the billion, so what have
we gained by our toll? They camp on
our necks when we're working, and
not all our thunders Embossed, and not
all our shaking and jerking will drive
them away from their roost. They
bite and they biff and they burrow,
they tickle and torture and tease, they
plow in your person a furrow, they
sting like a parcel of bees. So what
have we gained by our swattin', by
tOiling until we were blinds? Each
fly that is dead and forgotten left ten
million daughters behind.

THE MtloR,LTl sra ALTON.

One year very frequently Is too short
time for a person in an executive ca
pacity to accomplish results which
have for their motive the development
of a city along improved civic lines.
the breaking away from a program
which is believed and declared to have
been wrong and wasteful, the chang
ing from a loose to what is claimed to
be more businesslike system, and the
accomplishment of all he has set out
to do, and this is all the more the case
when he is hindered by obstacles of
more or less temporary nature that
prevent the possibility of his giving
adequate test TO the efficiency and
probable worth of particular project.
Such circumstances do not give him
an opportunity to determine to the sat
isfaction of himself, his friends or enc
mics, whether or not he was wrong in
his advocacy of that project
II is not more than right, then, when
such circumstances intervene, that he
should be given more time in which to
carry out his plans. Inability to test
the value or uselessness of an idea
does not condemn that idea; generally
1t gives rise to later assertions that il
such and such had been the case, Sc
and so would have happened-the dec
laration being that the idea was cor
rect. Consequently, wherever possible
It behooves those who have it within
their power to grant an extension Of
time so that the value of the idea car
be determined once and for all.
This is not college lecture on some
kind of "osophy"; it is merely an OBJ
servation concerning the present may
orally situation. The money market
mas been in such condition ever since
the bonds for Olympia's proposed mu
nicipal water plant were authorized
that it has been almost impossible tt
sell the most gilt edge security; conse
quently this proposed issue has no
had the favorable reception in the fl
nancial world that easier market con
ditions might grant 1t and the question
whether 1t can be disposed Of has no
been determined under usual, norma
conditions. Therefore the success o.
failure of the project still hangs in thu
balance.
This is the particular plan of thu
present mayor. He was elected as thu
result of campaign attacking the oil
company; his recommendation that
municipal plant be constructed wa
sustained by big majority. He ha
given much of his time, has made ,
considerable sacrifice and to certain
extent, perhaps. has suffered business
loss to devote his time and attention
to the city's business. Moreover, h
has spent or directed to be spent SOM
$1,132.70 of the city's money to date il
project
To defeat him for reelection will
mean the utter wasting of this none,
of the taxpayers, and though the gen
eral opinion seems to be it has alread
been wasted, to re-elect him will Civ
him the opportunity to settle once 70
all the actual worth of the plan an
might save that amount of money t
the taxpayers. 1t will also place tn
responsibility for that expenditure an
the success or failure of the plan RICH
where it belongs and right where tn
present mayor, by seeking reelection
wants it put.
Let's put it there-it's the best thin
we can do.

For Over a Century a Presiden
Not Delivered His Message
in Person.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Presid Wilson has
abridged the gap that for over CEN
tury has separated the pilots of pub
lie business. the executive and legis-
latiye branches of the government.
Not as cog in machine, not as an
impersonal political entity, nor as
mere department of government, but
as the man president, he went to con-
gress TO speak about the tariff.
Standing before the senate and
house in joint session, as emo other
president had done for l12 years, Pres
ident Wilson stated simply and tersely
what he thought should be done for
the welfare of the country and asked
his legislative colleagues, man to man,
to aid in keeping the pledges of their
party.
With a sweep of decision that shat
tered precedent, the president brushed
aside all imaginary boundaries be-
tween congress and the executive Of
flee and rescued himself, as he ex-
pressed 1t, from that isolated island
of jealous authority" which the presi-
dency has come to regarded.
Congress was somewhat startled the
other day when it heard that the presi-
dent had determined to deliver his
message by word of mouth and had
prepared for a ceremony Of unusual
importance and such it was, yet
when President Wilson arrived in the
midst of the great assemblage, riding
through the throngs of cheering peo-
pie in the streets, and, later, looking
up into galleries crowded with prtvi-
legged ticket holders, he seemed, after
all, what he said he was, "a human
being trying to cooperate with other
human beings in a common service"
