CARELESS Of the staggering cost has
been CALIFORNIA; beautiful dream
since woman suffrage carried the state
eighteen months ago. Children are
not to be separated from their par.
ents because of their poverty. The
state is to subsidize the home. School
teachers are to be pensioned. Old
people are to receive an annual in
come. Prisoners are to be paid for
their work in the jails. A regime of
ease and comfort is to dawn in the
golden state and then everybody in the
community will be happy-except the
tax payers who must become paupers
or criminals before they can draw
dividends on their investments in Cal
ifornia's utopian scheme"
The resume Of three months in.
vestigation of economic conditions in
California and of the suffrage law,
made by Alice Chittenden, president
of the New York State Anti-Suffrage
organization, is the opening paragraph
of a formal report given here by the
Washington headquarters of the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage.
s2o,o0o,o0o Appropriations.
"The appropriation for governing
California, with its population of g.
377,549 Census Of 1910 for the com
ing year is nearly $20,000,000 Miss
Chittenden's report continues.
This is an increase of about ST.
100000 over the amount appropriated
two years ago, just before the suffrage
was given to women by the male
voters of the state. This increase is
not surprising when one learns that
thirty-one commissions were created
by the legislature that adjourned a
few weeks ago. 1t is estimated that
the annual expenses of these commits
sions will amount to about $1,000, 900.
Hasn't Money for Exhibition.
While these reforms are being
bought and paid for, the announce
ment is made that California has no
money in it's treasury to erect a state
building to house a state exhibit at
the great Panama exposition to be
held in San Francisco in 1915. The
building must be paid out for of the
county treasures.
these are but few OF the results
borne of woman's entrance into the
politics Of the state. And California
has only just begun to spend money
to expedite the millennium. The
scheme advocated by the more rabid
suffragette reformers would, II car
ned out, bankrupt the state in few
years. Fortunately the women of the
state are growing tired of their new
toy. The California situation Is an
object lesson to other states in which
women are clamoring for the right to
vote"

Lobby Is Doomed.

President Wilson seems to have
had no difficulty in establishing his
charge that a crowd of "insidious
lobbyists" was maintained at Wash
ington to exert influence for the spec
ial interests who want high tariff
One illuminating disclosure is that
the sugar lobby had 100000 pieces
of literature printed at government
expense and sent out under the franks
of senators and representatives. BY
this clever move the lobby saved al
most $4,000 in postage alone.
When Henry Mcbride was COVER,
nor of Washington, the legislature at
Olympia was pestered or controlled
by the most insidious lobby which
ever existed. This lobby interested
itself in every phase of public bust
ness and it was notorious that many
of the members of the legislature
there were puppets in the hands OF
the corporation representatives. Nc
Bride swore the lobby should go and
it went, never to return in its pris-
tine force and vigor. When Presi-
dent Wilson gets through many a
sleek $10,000-a-year lobbyist will have
lost his peacock feather. Speed the
day.-Hoquiam Washingtonian.

ne oLral9nt OF me Story
Keep your eye on that other column
which reading this Barring d few
minor details, too insignifcan, for a
1 and m. i. paper to notice. the story
of the World is true Note few Of
the details: With characteristic i'm
pudence. it starts out with false
hood, manufactures a stuffed man and
proceeds to hammer the stuifing out
of him.
The Herald will give $50 to the pub
lie library if the World will prove
that this paper ever said it was own
ed by Mr. Poison, or that the World
had lost 100000. What it said was
that Mr.. Poison was 1.-The accredited
angel of that paper, and that about
100000 of somebody's money had
been sunk in premature daily publ
cations on Grays Harbor, and that the
editors, managers and ostensible own
ers Gid not have the money to lose"
1t is characteristic of the Worlds ego
to imagine itself the only paper on
Grays Harbor-or anywhere else
but there were others. Aberdeen had
three such attempts and Hoquiam one.
and the statement of the loss all
around made by the Herald is a con-
sentative one.
But we are shown that Mr.. Poison
does not own the World. To be
sure, nobody said he did. but we are
shown the real CD owners. Just such
ownership as the mOrtgagOr of $27,-
600 farm which was carrying a past
due mortgage of $4,000, would have
He was owner all right until he dis
pleased the mortgagor. When the
Herald was compelled, through the
forcing of Mr.. Poison as an issue in
this road matter, to refer to his in
terest in that paper, it based the
statement upon knowledge gained in
the course of a business transaction
which, not to be outdone by the l.
and m. i. paper in candor, we will dis
close to the reader.
In the course of a business deal
not long ago, the editor of this paper
was offered 80 shares of the stock
of the World-one-third of the total
issue, and naturally looked up it's
value In the course of his investi-
cations, he found the outstanding in
debtedness to be $4,000, or $4,000
more than the par value of the is
sued stock and that this indebtedness,
or almost all of it, was owing to Mr..
Poison.
To be sure, since Mr. Rupp has be-
come owner all the stock. this in
debtedness may have been wiped out
or transferred from Mr.. Poison, in
which case the World will experience
no difficulty in showing the fact to
its confidants-the public-very clear
ly Until it does SO, Mr. Poison will
be regarded as the accredited
"angel."

A Dangerous Conviction

The conviction and sentence OF
Alexander Scott, editor Of the Pater
son Weekly Issue, will, if upheld
make criticism of public officials un'
safe in New Jersey. Scott had de-
clared that some silk mill strikers
were unlawfully assaulted by the po-
lice, to whom he applied such terms
as "cossacks," strike breakers and
'brass buttoned anarchists" For this
he was prosecuted under an act pass
ed about the time of the death of
President Mckinley, which makes it
crime to hold up to ridicule any
department of the government. The
truth or falsity of the published state

TIE WORLD. POISON AND THE
HANSON ROAD

THE WORLD, POISON AND THE
hanson ROAD
The World is owned by Alex Pol
son, according to the Aberdeen Her
aid Sure When we began the ad-
yocacy of the c. D. Hanson road we
quite understood that that charge
would be made.
/ The World has lost lot OF money,
says the Herald leaving the infer
/ ence that the sum so lost is a mod
est S100,000> or SO, and the World
is not yet paying business venture.
| If anybody read the Herald or paid
any serious attention to it, we might
regard it's statements as an attempt
to injure our credit, and make the
Herald answer accordingly.
We take this occasion, however, to
make definite statement regarding
the ownership of the World so that
the Herald will have no need to
repeat it's lie, or any other paper to
rely on the Herald's alleged infor-
nation concerning our business, with
which we ought to be at least as
familiar as the Herald.
Alex Poison does not own the
the World The World is owned and
published by the Grays Harbor Pub
fishing company, a corporation cap
italized at $4,000, divided into 500
shares at 500 each. OF these 500
shares, 27O have been issued. OF the
270 issued, 269 are owned by w. A.
Rupp and one share by Mrs. Rupp. No
one owns another share. Mr.. Rupp is
president of the corporation, Mrs.
Rupp, secretary. There are no other
officers. Mr. and Mrs. Rupp comprise
the board of directors of this company
and are the only directors.
We don't know how to make clos
er corporation or make any clearer
statement of ownership.
The World represents, and has for
the past five years, the opinions and
views of Mr.. Rupp. The Herald knows
that, too.
The World has not lost 100000.
The idea is absurd. 1t is on par
with the rest of the statements of the
Herald. Nobody-not even an angel
would lose that much money in a
newspaper venture on the Harbor. Mr..
Rupp neither could nor would. Nor
has he.
The fact that Poison does not own
the World has nothing to do with
the merits of the Hanson road pro-
ject. The fact that he owned the
World, if it were the fact, would
have nothing to do with the road
question, not affecting it's merits or
the desirability of it's construction in
the slightest.
But if we were looking for an
"angel and could land Poison, we
certainly should do so. He is straight
in business relations and his relations
to the public, he is no gutter and it
is not on record that he ever deserted
friend We would not want bet
ter angel" We are not serving Pol
son, however, in this Hanson road
we are simply asking what the best in
terests of the public demand.-Aber-
| deem World.

proteotionist dogma that ability TO
