II remained for a Democratic ad-

bination in restraint of trade that has
held tighter grip on the throat of
agriculture than any other trust on
the calendar. The governments suit

company is being watched the world
over and it's outcome will be awaited
with Impotence. The company denies
that 1t was organized for any unlawful
purpose and maintains that it is a
good" trust and has benefited instead
Of injured the consumers of it's prod
ucts. The fact remains undisputed,
however, that it has driven practically
all competition to the wall and held
the American farmer in the hollow of
its hand. 1t is despot, whether be-
nevolent or otherwise, and does not
accord with the spirit of American in.

nently fitting therefore that the hun
dredth anniversary of the grand old

Baltimore is preparing to celebrate it,
next September. The bombardment
Of Fort McHenry by the British fleet,
on one of the vessels of which the
author, Francis Scott Key, was detain-

has been guilty of many irregularities
in submitting the recall amendment to
the people, the state supreme court has
upheld the validity OF the amendment
against its enemies. To have done 9th

to admit that the legislature had DELHI

WELCOME NEWS ON IMMIGR ALTON.


The news brought home by Mr. Leo
poid F. Schmidt, ST., that in his opln'
ion the Northern European, meaning
thereby particularly the Norwegian,
Dane and Scandinavian, will predomi-
nate in the immigration 10 the Pacific
Northwest states after the opening of
the Panama canal, should be highly
welcomed by the residents of these
states.
These are the classes of immigrants
who have made Wisconsin, Minnesota,
the Dakotas and neighboring states
the AGRICULTURAL bulwarks they now
are, and it can be presumed that I'M
der similarly favorable conditions
here, they will do the same thing for
Washington. They are hardy, thrifty,
energetic peoples and, including the
Germans. the best possible immigrants.
Above all, they are more likely to set
tie on our farms and develop new
ones than would the Southern Euro
pean, far more substantial and depend
able races, peoples who have succeed
ed in working out their problems on a
high plane in other sections of the
United States.
We will have less to fear in the eff
feet Of the expected immigration II
these peoples predominant among
those who come to this northern
coast. They will add but little or
nothing to our city problems, our in.
drstrial problems or the social, civic
and moral questions inter-related apd
co-ordinated with our cities and in
dustries. Nor will they offer our pres
ent farmers competition they need to
fear, because the new immigrants, set
thing on our farms and developing
new ones, will be compelled to face the
same problems the rancher of today
does and must solve them the way oul
ranchers are solving them.
In other words, we, municipality OF
ruvally, have practically nothing tt
fear Of the bugaboo of cheap foreign
labor, II the conclusions reached b,
Mr.. Schmidt as to the character of ou
prospective immigrants are borne on
BY actual experience.

Farming-Then and Now.
(Warden Herald.)


Many farmers and others can recall
the fact that when they were boys on
the farm the farmer who had two
spring seats to put on his wagon for
gala days was considered fortunate
and well to do. Most farmers then had
only one spring seat, and the children
sat behind on mere boards laid across
the wagon bed. Then came the farmer
who had the spring wagon--a smaller
wagon with springs under it; then the
top carriage and SO on. Now it is the
automobile that runs not only on
springs but on cushioned tires; and
one automobile costs as much as 80
spring wagons used to cost. In all of
this we may catch the drift of prog
ress and also an explanation of the
high cost of living. But it would seem
that we have to have such things now.

The passing of Mrs. Isaac l. Stevens

The passing of Mrs. Isaac l. Stevens.
wife of the first territorial governor of
Washington, takes from us one of
those who played an important part in
those pioneer struggles of which we
are reaping the benefits today. But
history has its place for her, and now
and then as the years roll by the peo-
pie of the state which has succeeded
the territory to which she first came
will doubtless honor her memory in
fitting ways.

Relieves in Raising stock.
(Warden Herald.)

Donald Crquhart, owner of the ia
nous Dunira ranch near Wilson Creek,
is stocking up with sheep, hogs and
cattle. He has bought something over
$500 head of sheep to feed this fall.
and expects to add 1000 more. His
plan is to feed his alfalfa instead of
shipping it. The big money for the
farmer, Mr. Urquhart believes, is in
raising good stock, feeding it on the
products of the ranch and then selling
the finished product.

DehOunces Mothers Pension Law.
(Friday Harbor Journal)
The passage of the mothers pension
act by the last legislature, which law
is now in full force and effect in the
state of Washington, is bringing forth
much criticism from all parts of the
country, and just criticism it is. Not
so much criticism of the trainers of
the law, but as to the way it is work
ing out. AS the law stands it opens
wide the door to graft, fraud and i'm
providence, and in counties the size of
San Juan 1t will prove burden to the
taxpayers in time, If not bankrupt
them entirely. There is an apparent
tendency, by many, to make applica-
ton for pension, who, without the
mask of the law, would throw up their
hands in holy horror" if told to ask
for charity or public aid, or if it were
intimated they are paupers. 1t is true,
there are few justifiable cases. but in
the opinion of the Journal, we do not
think conditions generally over the
state of Washington call for such a
law, unless we consider ourselves a
pauper state and wish to advertise the
fact as such. There is seldom a day
passes that the county officials, and
this includes San Juan county as we'll
as others, do not receive a communi.
cation from applicants of distant states
wishing information on the subject of
mothers pensions" with the post.
script that they would like to know
now long it takes to gain residence,
and If inducements were great enough
they would emigrate to Washington
the next we will hear of the granting
or pension. This kind of an abortion
OF law and many others of a similar
nature that some legislator gets
through at each session of our law
makers, is one of the direct causes of
the gradual increase in taxation.
