The outcome of the special election
in the Thirteenth Massachusetts Dis
trict Tuesday shows that the Demo
Gratis are still as strong as they were
in November The Democratic total
fell off a little in greatly reduced
vote, but the Republican vote drop
ped nearly half This was the first
election test since November where
national issues figured to any extent.
The recent elections in Michigan,
where the Republicans overwhelm-
ingly defeated both the Democrats
and Progressives and the contests in
Missouri where the Democrats were
chiefly victorious were on state and
local issues and the national quest
ions did not figure to any great ex-
tent. The contest in Massachusetts,
was on the national issue directly
and shows that there has been no
particular change in sentiment dur
ing the past five months.

An important Improvement Il
Roofing.

hoorInq.
The roofing bugaboo is done for.
The everlasting fear which every one
has that his roofing may need a new
coat of paint, which he hasn't time to
give to it, is disposed of by the com
ing of Amatite Roofing.
This new type of roofing has a
mineral surface made up of particles
of crushed rock embedded into a
tough pitch in such manner that 1t
forms a flexible concrete surface
This surface needs no paint of any
kind; it will stand wear year after
year without deterioration.
The man who owns an Amatite
Roof never thinks about painting.
Not only does he save his peace OF
mind on the subject, but he saves
money, too, because Amatite costs no
more than painted roofing and the
elimination OF painting expense
makes 1t in the end the cheapest of
all ready roofings.
Many farmers have, never seen a
mineral surfaced roofing that was
practical and so the manufacturers
have arranged to supply free samples
to anybody who inquiries. II you are
interested in the subject, send for a
sample, addressing the nearest Office
of the Barrett Manufacturing Com
pany, New York, Chicago. Philadel

Governor Fletcher has named Fri
day, April 25, as Arbor day and in a
very brief proclamation urges the
planting of frees. People save
money or try to, throughout their
life, in order to hand it to their chill
dren or other heirs. Trees are much
easier to get and to conserve than
money and increase in value faster
than the interest on money will ac
cumulate. 1t would be the part Of
wisdom for the man who has land to
plant trees.

new LIGHTING SYSTEM
Tests Made by Northern Pacific ON LO-
cal Line Prove Satisfactory.

Tests of new electric lighting sys
TEN for railroad trains which produces
a steadier light at a much reduced
cost, instituted three months ago by
the Northern Pacific on its Olympia
Grays Harbor branch, have just been
completed and were so favorable the
probabilities are that that all this COM
pany's trains on it's entire system will
be equipped with the new device.
Heretofore it's trains have been cleo
trically lighted by a dynamo located
in the baggage car, operated by steam
and requiring the attention of an ex-
pert electrician. This method, besides
being highly expensive, did not always
produce a steady light.
The new device, known as the Gould
system, consists of dynamo slung
under the parlor car of the train, it's
pulley operated by belt running over
the car axles. Each car Is also equip.
ped with a storage battery, automati-
cally charged from this dynamo, and
sufficient to light car for eight hours.
whether the train Is in motion or not
The system is automatic throughout
and does not require the attention Of
an expert electrician as did the other,
as all necessary adjustments and re-
pairs can be made in the car shops.
1t has proved most satisfactory In the
three months tests given it on this
line.

LEGISLATION ny COMMISSION.

To receive what one expects and an
ticipates never surprises anybody. That
Is why the following comment on the
proposed abolition Of the state legis-
lature. part Of an editorial that ap-
peared in the Colfax Commoner last
week, loses whatever effect it might
have had. for It is the stock and to-be-
expected argument against the reduc-
tion Of legislative representation that
government by q commission of Is in
stead Of legislature proposes. Incl
dentally 1t is the first adverse COM
ment that has appeared in the state
press against the commission plan.
The following is the gist Of the ar
gument:
The change would be an extremely
radical one and 1t is doubtful II 1t will
ever be adopted. The system under
which the state legislature is elected
today offers greater representation to
the people than Is provided in connec-
ton with any other branch of the
American government. In this system
there Is far greater opportunity for in
dividual representation than the people
can lay claim to in any other system
that has been in vogue in this country.
And there is demand for individual
representation.
The government of truly democrat.
ic nation must consist of great broad
representation. The government of a
people Is simply the expression of the
needs of individuals and no govern.
ment can exist unless the caring for
the needs and desires Of the individ.
uals forms the basic principle of that
government. There is no justification
for government unless 1t be the pro
lection of the people and the gratifica
ton OF their honest desires. Because
OF these facts 1t must be acknowledged
that the government which has the
greatest provisions for the considera.
tion Of the individual and the proper
representation Of the individual is the
nearest approach to democratic gov
eminent that exists.
The absurdity of such an argument
is seen In the very cumbersome nature
of our present legislative system it.
self. No greater argument against the
legislature could be made than the leg
islature itself makes. 1t is cumber
some. inefficient. unresponsive and
"gang-ruled" simply because 1t is un
wieldy. Consequently it's acts are high
~ unsatisfactory. it's legislation is
piece-meal, almost entirely a compro
promise. and secured on the give and
take" plan, and each session provokes
an uproar of dissatisfaction through

POLITICS AND THE CURRENCY.

To say that a president of the Unit
ed States, no matter who he is, would
play politics with the country's cur
rency system to such an extent as to
jeopardize the nations business is a
serious indictment of our republican
form of government, none the less
serious because, as we believe, it was
hasty. Yet that is the main objection
the bankers of the country are raising
to President Wilson's currency reform
bill.
They object to the feature of gov
eminent control of the directorate
which is to administer the proposed
currency system and their objection is
based solely on politics. To any person
who will study the objection reason
ably and seriously, the absurdity of it
is apparent. No president of these
United States is going to play politics
with the country's money; to think
that he would is silly.
The president, by his attitude, again
has hit the nail squarely on the head
The currency problem resolved itself
into two alternatives: control by the
government or control by the banks
Inasmuch as the banks have heretofore
controlled it and made mess of it, the
president decided the government
should have an opportunity to demon
strate its ability and so incorporated
the alternative of governmental con-
troll in the administration measure.
This would seem the best thing to
do. The other way has been tested and
found wholly unsatisfactory. The pro-
posed way places the power and inf1u-
ence of the government more directly
behind the country's currency and
therefore more directly behind the
country's business than before. 1t
gives the people as a whole-and not
a few Wall Street bankers-the oppor-
tunity to help themselves and each
other when times get hard" and
money is scarce; or, as it might be
stated, it takes away from Wall Street
and places with the government the
control of the nations currency and
with that the control of the nations
business.

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
AMONG THE COINTN'S FARMERS.

Something no other paper in Thur

bits of information regarding the bust

sentative has been warmly received
this week and treated with every cOur-
tesy by the farmers he has visited, for
it is pleasing, indeed, to newspaper
to see it's representatives so kindly
greeted and accorded such hospitality.
That has fallen to our lot this week in
the fullest measure and has been a
most gratifying experience.
What that representative found on
his first weeks visits through the
northern part of the county is pub
lished in this issue. 1t is mighty in
teresting reading and, incidentally,
valuable information, for it indexes the
conditions as they really are, based on
facts cleaned from personal converse
lions in the berry patch and the oat
field. 1t tells you exactly what the
farmers and ranchers of the county are
doing, something you have never been
able to learn before in any authentic
way.
You will want to read that series, for
1t will cover every farm in the county.
1t will tell you what your neighbors
are doing and how your friends In
Rainier. Grand Mound, Puget or Mud
Bay are getting along. Things you
never heard about before will appear
there and the educational value of it.,
In addition to the information it will
convey, will be high.
Watch for this series each week and
watch for our representative, for he is
coming your way-when, we are not
going to tell you, for we want to sur
prise you.

MOVING THE coUNrRY,s CROPS


Every year about this time we hear
of warnings issued by the railroads
over possible car shortages and every
year. month or so later, we expert
ence the difficulties about which the
railroads tried to warn us. Some
times we put two and two together and
figure out the why and the wherefore
of it, but more often we do not and we
pass few "cuss words" along to the
railroads when the shortage confronts
u.s.
With the rush of business incident to
this period of the year the railroads
are already seeming trouble ahead,
though in anticipation of this they
have repaired and added to their equip
ment. AS matter of fact, delay on
the part of shippers in loading and un-
loading cars is often the direct cause
of the carriers inability to furnish
cars, whereas If the shippers would
load and unload promptly, the condi-
lions would be considerably relieved,
at least, if not wholly done away with.
The solution of the problem seems
to be in cooperation between the car.
riers and the shippers. With this end
in view the California and Oregon rail
road commissions, together with those
of other states, last year took cogni.
zance of conditions and with the hearty
support of many trade and commercial
organizations, developed a spirit of CO
operation among the shippers and the
railroads which very substantially re
lieved the situation and heavy
amount of traffic resulted without Sc.
riOus delay or congestion anywhere
The success of that experiment proba
bly, will result in some sort of a per.
manent organization.
Meanwhile we must bear this need
of cooperation in mind. We must heir
