when the money became easier. the
pressure OF creditors had become
known generally. and the credit was
gone.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3o.--The trunk
mystery absorbed the police depart
ment today. Deputy Police Commits
sioner George S. Dougherty and In
spector Faurot, both at their desks
early, set themselves to the task OF
unravelling some of the clues--an I'M

key and some masculine and female

Dougherty and the men under him
wanted to solve the prooien,-for =

many years 1t really is--in the two
days OF official duty remaining for
him.
The answer to the first question:
who was this Russian Pollock ?"
Dougherty and his men bent them
selves today and before the day was
over they had established the fac-
that he was mo. 1o2," employed until
December nth by the joni r. Dono'
van Contracting company on road
work at Garrison, as indicated by
the brass check, II. r. D.. 1o2," founn

he lived and with whom he spent
the last few days of MS life could
not be ascertained by Dougherty or
any of the forty detectives who were
combing the Polish boarding houses

OF New Jersey and seeking to match
the pieces OF ,woman's apparel found
in the trunk.

Dougherty and Faurot were not In

several years and had not seen him
for several months. Malloy insisted
that the mans name was John

Dougherty insisted on calling him

Washington Snobdom Mortified

There is a renaissance in Wash
ington. 1t has to do with a number
of things, but mostly it touches the
rebirth of simplicity. One spring
morning, Mr.. Lanes Office attendant
opened the door softly and bowed
profoundly. "The President, Mr..
Secretary" he said.
It was the first time that Presi-
dent had been known to visit the
Department of the Interior! Wash
ington does not approve of informal
ity like this. Washington prefers
forms and functions. 1t likes bow
ing and scraping and pulling OF the
forelock. One evening, a very hot
one in July, Mr. Houston, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. might have been
seen on the Raleigh Roof Garden in
Washington. He was dining with
some friends, in a quiet, contented
sort of way, quite human way, in
fact A man belonging to the species

Houston with mixture of awe and
disgust. isn't that awful" he groar
ed. "You could tell that he belongs
to Bryan's party! How can an OIL
cial of the Cabinet expect to Keep
his influence and dignity. when he
lets the public see him eat and walk?'
There is nothing new or revo-
lutionary about the ideas. 1t is their
renaissance in Washington that is re-
markable. The principle of individ'
ualism is as old as government. 1t
proposes the non-interference of the
state in the affairs of the individual.
1t is the doctrine of LET 'em go 1t.
1t is the doctrine of utterly free CON-
petition.-Horace Willsie, in Harper's
Weekly.

COM BiNATlONS.

COmbinatiOns may exist for a
good purpose. just as they may
exist for bad purpose. wheth-
err among business men. among
farmers. among labOrers. and. as
regards all Of them, our aim
should be effectively to suppress
combinations that work evil
and also to favor those that do
well. while nevertheless exercis-
ing over them such thOroughgO-
ing control as TO enable us to
be sure that they in very fact
do well alike to competitors. to
wage workers and to the gener-
al public. If a corporation or
a combination makes for eff
cheney we favor 1t. provided
the benefits are shared with rea-
sonable equality among the en-
ployers and capitalists, the
workers and the general public.
II. however. the so called eff
cheney represents merely profits
for the employer obtained by
exploiting the wOrkmen or mis-
treating his rivals or swindling
the general public. then our de-
sire is not merely to stop the
practices. but to punish those
who take part in them. 1t is our
aim to help legitimate business.
We wish to see the business
man prosper and make money,
but unless he does prosper and
make money he can neither per-
manently pay good wages to his
employees nor permanently rem
der good service to the public

The Budget Committee

The announcement of the state tax
levy of S.S1 mills, the highest in the
history of the state, emphasizes the
necessity for reduction of local
levies, and illustrates the hardship
that is worked onthe present resi-.
dents by building roads and making
other permanent improvements on the
cash payment plan. Under this plan
926 in 1910, to the enormous figure
of $8,93z525 in 1918, and is an in
crease of $3,11S,O76 over last year, of
which increase Chehalis county get
raise of $111.7O5.
With the county unable to decrease
the levy from last year to any ap-
preciable extent, through the opera
ton of new laws, and the looting of
the county treasury by the reckless
expenditures of the past four years,
the absolute necessity of reduction in
municipal and school levies is appar-
'ent to the most casual observer Alb
.erdeen is taking a step in the right
direction in bonding the outstanding
warrants-whichS by the way, never
should have been issued-but that
step will be useless unless the finan-
cial methods of the city undergo a
radical change. 1t will be worse than
useless If the custom of making ex-
penditures with reckless disregard
of the estimates and income be not
discontinued
The committee appointed by the
citizens mass meeting, met and or
ganized yesterday afternoon, and dis
cussed the situation informally. The
members were unit on the propo.
sition that the progress and welfare
of the city absolutely demand a re-
duced levy, and that a material re-
duction can be made without disturb
ing the real efficiency of the city,
service The committee is not work
ing on the problem as theorists, but
upon the businesslike assumption
that the taxpayers of the city are en-
titled to 100 cents worth of service
for every dollar they pay, and in the
belief that they have not been getting
it in the past by large margin.
The chairman has assigned each
member to certain departments, and
it is the intention to investigate the
cost of each with the view of elimin-
ating waste and lost motion wherever
possible. The committee is, of course,
without power to enforce it's findings
that is with the city council. But
it is proceeding on the assumption
that the council. like all public spirit
ed citizens with knowledge of the
condition that confronts us, is per-
fectly willing to receive practical sug-
gestions along the lines of economy.

Radical, but Rational

President Wilson-so far-has been
astonishingly fortunate. AS nearly all
impartial observers viewed the situa-
ton last March, his proximate dan
ger was that the elements in his
party corresponding to the standpat
wing of the Republicans under Taft
would revolt and mangle his legisla-
tive program. But the conservatives
have eaten out of his hand, and the
only real sign of disaffection. to this
writing, has come from a clique of
visionary radicals, who are so i'm
patient of the dusty paths of expert
ence that the President and his sec
rotary of state are quite rock-ribbed
old Tories in comparison with them.
Mr.. Wilson's ideas of a banking
bill pain New York. The radicals
ideas send Chicago into fit and con-
geal the financial spines of Minnea-
polls and Kansas City. If the Presi-
dent can keep his unwieldy party
from cracking at any other point the
success of his administration seems
fairly assured.
The only ghost that has frighten-
ed the Democratic banquets so far is
not that of Toryism, but of Populism
with it's whiskers longer and more
tangled than in life Probably this
threat of revolt by impossibles is the
luckiest political circumstances that
could have befallen the President. He
is radical, but also rational 1t is a
good thing for him in this juncture
that the conservatives should have
the distinction impressed upon them.

Six Months of President Wilson

On the 4th day of September Presi
dent Wilson completed six months
of his term of office. The
rounded period of half year forms
natural milestone by which to es
innate the progress the country has
made under Democratic rule. Short
as that time is, in the calendar OF
craftsmanship, it affords a certain de-
gree of opportunity for events to ad
just themselves into their logical re-
lations with each other to assume
sequence, perspective and relief, and
to take on the outlines whose final
shape is historic significance.
This occasion, therefore, is fitting
one for a review of President Will
sons achievements considered as a
whole, from inauguration Day to now
But it is a striking proof of the
strength and vigor of the Democratic
administration of Washington, that
the present is not more distinctly a
psychological moment for a survey OF
what the Democracy is doing for the
nation, than would have been the
case three months ago, or indeed al
any time since the Administration
and Congress finished the preliminary
work of organization, established the
routine and detail methods of their
dlHies, and plunged into the heart
of the mementous problems which the
nation had assigned to the Demo
cracy for solution. From the . very
start, the President, his Cabinet and
the Congress struck the master chord
of working efficacy. 1t was plain that
earnest, unremitting toll, for definite
ends in view, was to be the keynote
of the Wilson administration. No
other keynote could be so sure
of immediate response from the
American people. And the re-
Spouse was instantaneous and univer
sal. Republicans, their mouths still
bitter with the draught of defeat
Progressives, still hugging to their
hearts the delusion that there was
room for two progressive parties in
this country. lost sight of the party
barriers they had so sedulously rear.
ed, when they realized that there was
genuine working President in the
White House and working Congress
in the Capitol. No matter with what
fury hostile craftsmanship might rage
against Woodrow Wilson the Demo
crat, Republicans themselves admired
Woodrow Wilson the worker. The
public, irrespective OF party, took a
homely delight in an administration
that had taken off it's coat and was
saving wood. The Democratic appeal
was to the two dominant instincts oil
the American mind-respect for 10y
atty and faith in work. The party
was doing what it had promised tc
do. 1t was working double stretches
to do it. Public confidence followed
as a matter of course 1t is said oil

lar imagination. President Wilson

WHAT COUNTS.
1t isn't the brains a man has in
his head
Or the skill that he has in his
hand.
1t isn't the books he has stud
led or read
Or his fortune in money or
land
That makes a man likable, Iowa
BILE here.
For many miser Is smart.
It's not what brother can do
we hold dear,
But Just what he Is in his
heart.
1t isn't the wonderful heights he
has scaled.
1t isn't the medals he wears,
1t isn't the fact that by many
he's hailed
With applause for the deeds
that he dares
That makes a man welcome
wherever he goes.
A leader, unmourned, may de-
part.
For the thing men revere isn't
glory that shows,
But the glory that's hid in the
heart.
