"The paper for the fermers"-that
is the reputation THE WASHINGTON
STANDARD would like to have. 1t is the
only paper in the county today that
pays any attention to them; the only
paper that seeks to serve them; the
only paper that attempts to give them
the news and information they want
and should have. Plans are under way
for more complete realization of that
aim; meanwhile, unless the farmers
tell us what they want we are going
to have more or less difficulty in serv-
ing them. Consider this your newspa-
per-we will never be satisfied until
you do--write us and advise us what
you want; criticise us when we make
mistakes; praise us a little among
your neighbors when you think we are
doing right. Naturally the STANDARD
must have the support of the farmers
II 1t Is to succeed; it must have their
advice, criticism. counsel and praise
before 1t can accomplish all it should.
Write us or come into the office and
tell us where we can improve the pa
per. We want to know

SENATOR INVERSION Is "AGIN" 1T.

The latest move of the standpatters
is to try and discredit popular govern
ment. When the people make move
TO govern themselves for their own
good, and not only the good of few,
they are discredited and now we hear
the ninnies make howl for commits
sion form of government. The idea is
to remove the power of government as
far from the people as they can. A
more cowardly blow at popular intelli-
gence cannot be found anywhere.
So comments Senator Peter 1verson
in the last issue of his kitsap County
Herald-put who would expect legis-
lator to legslate himself out of job
We were not surprised to learn of the
senator's opposition to the simplified,
tax-saving commission form of govern.
ment for our state-we would have
been more surprised had he been in
favor of it, for the last place from
which to expect legislative reform is
in the legislature itself. We are glad
however, that the senator has declared
himself-we will know where to class
him when the time comes.
| In view of our first editorial
the senator's reasons for his position
are so obvious as to need no explana
ton.

mirable dairy center, with cheese
factory to handle the output, will be
of untold Importance in fastening it's
agricultural advancement. Many of
the farmers of the county are now
planning their ranches to engage more
and more in the dairy business, as the
reports of the STANDARDS special rep
resentative show, and the immigration
of these new settlers will attract wide
attention to the county and undoubted-
ly bring about more rapid settlement
by others. Compared with some of the
Northern or the Eastern Washington
counties, Thurston's agricultural de-
velopment has Jagged, but present in
dications are that the next few years
will see great advance There is ev-
erything here to attract new settlers
and they will undoubtedly come.

MOTHER EVE
BY WALT MASON.

With leaves of figs and banks and
twigs Eve built herself a garment;
"ah, this will check the rubberneck,"
she murmured, "drat the varment!"
With modest taste around her waist
she tied the home made apron; she
understood that it was good and
through the woods went caperin'. She
had no books on woman's looks, no
fashion plates distressing; she was not
dense-her own good sense inspired
her in her dressing. And Adam gazed
on her amazed, and cried: "Gol dern
my galways! Without crow to buy a
gown, she's looking scrumptuous al
ways!" In modern times danes have
the dimes to buy all kinds of dresses;
they're anxious found to jog around in
little but their tresses. Transparent
rags clothe withered hays and maidens
young and tender; and jeers and
sneers assail the ears of modesty's de-
tenders. Alas that we should logged
out be by Frances shameless rotters;
we well may grieve that Mother Eve
had more sense than her daughters.
Some day the dame who shows her
frame and every joint, by golly, will
wonder why the gods on high allowed
such crazy folly.

SEATTLE AND THE TARIFF.

Speculation as to the results of the
reduced tariff are being made by bus
mess men the country over; no one
outside the Republicans in the halls of
Congress has yet predicted calamity.
Everywhere optimism prevails.
How strong is this feeling is aptly
shown by the statement which recent
ly appeared in the standpat of the
standpat Republican papers of the
state, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
After seeking the opinions of the best
business men of that city, it said:
In Seattle the lumber dealers report
having information to the effect that
British Columbia lumber mills will not
cut prices. Seattle importers and
wholesalers generally give optimistic
views of trade, expecting that business
will be stimulated through reduction
of prices on imported goods. Woolens
and cotton goods may go off rs to IS
per cent. The Pacific Coast is said to
be consuming rather than a great
manufacturing country and likely to
be the gamer from the new schedules.
Read that last sentence again.
Within the next few months we will
learn If the prediction comes true.
There is every indication that it will.
There is much pleasure, incidentally,
in hearing Republican paper say so.
1t demonstrates the soundness of the
opinion.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTO,

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
SEATTLE, Oct. 3.-Printers of the flu
ture VIII eat regularly, wear white col
'ars and buy barber shop shaves, if the
college course in the art of printing as
offered this year for the first time in
the department of journalism at the
University of Washington is fruitful.
In other words, Instructor Fred w.
Kennedy will do his best to show the
embryo disciples of Franklin Just
where all the nickels go when a print
shop is operated in the old time way.
This advanced course in printing
takes up simplified accounting. cost
finding, estimating, Office management
and efficiency. When a student esti-
mates that the labor on a certain niece
'ol work Will cost so much, he has to
march right out in the laboratory and
put the job through just TO show In
structor Kennedy that he knows what
he is talking about.

HIGH TAxEs-AND WHY,

Those of us who were in Olympia
last winter know why the state taxes
are higher than they ever were before,
just as we also well know that they
would have been still higher If Gov
ernor Lister had not vetoed some ex-
travagant appropriations.
The blame rests solely on the Repub-
lican machine in the legislature.
Theirs was the game-and it was a
good one-to put Lister in the hole
by authorizing heavy expenditures
and thereby making his administra-
ton the most costly in the states his.
tory, so far as they could. But they
did not accomplish that purpose until
after Lister, in detailed message We
toing some of their measures, had di
rected their attention to the wantonly
extravagant appropriations and urged
them to economic.
Lister has not said Il told you so,
but he Jolly we'll could" He has cor
rectly placed the blame on the legisla
ture, however, by recalling his severa
veto messages, and before the next leg
islative campaign is over the Republi
cans will smart for their little game
the people will know why they are
paying higher taxes and-they will
elect Legislators in harmony with Lis
ter's policy of economy.
For the cat always comes back.

Democrats Making Ruthless Raid on

Committee.

Ruthless raids on the civil service per-
sonnel by the Democratic administration
are the subject OF rigid Inquiry by joint
committee Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public and the United Spanish War Vet
Grams, and political scandal is imminent
II charges made by members Of the two
organizations are true.
Five futile efforts have been made to
present protests TO the President. accord
ing to Thomas II. Mckee, commander Of
the Department Of the Potomac, @. A. R.,
who heads the joint committee and has
mass of information about the employ
ment OF the "spoils system" in the vari-
Gus departments. No accusations have
yet been made that the President has any
knowledge Of the widespread demOtions,
promotions. and Determinations. but
members OF the committee are angry be-
cause they have not been permitted to lay
the facts before the Chief Executive.
According to Mr.. Mckee, the investiga-
ton has disclosed that the chief Of every
division in the Pension ofice has been de-
NOTED and every vacancy thus created
has been filed with Democrat
President Wilson and his administra-
ton was criticised yesterday in a state
ment issued by the Civil Service Reform
League, for the enactment Of legislation

'.The league takes square issue with
President Wilson over his assertion that
deputy collectors OF internal revenue and

come under the ordinary provision of the
