FINANCING A GREATWAR.

OF course, the financiers could have
prevented the war-that is. if the gov
~nments would respect the financiers
and protect them in their refusal to
supply money. But when nations go
ITO war, the civilized rules of mine and
thine are apt to be forgotten, and the
more general the war is the greater
must be the disposition to take the
necessary money from those who have
1T and tell them to sue for a settle
ment when peace is restored. Napo-

leon financed his wars, accumulated
great funds for future wars, enriched
his lieutenants and for time made
France prosperous by levying upon
the people whom he conquered.
1t is pretty theory that there are
great capitalists who have power to
make or prevent war as they choose.
who rule kings by power of gold and
who may decide the fate of nations.
But there is no capitalist who ever
could collect a debt except as some
government was pleased to mako II

That the air machine will lend TO

LOCAL BREWERY TO
keep ON RUNNING
WILL DECIDE WHAT TO DO AT.
TER "DRY" LAW CLOSES 1T
PLANS OF OTHERS.

While the proprietors of the Seat
tie and Tacoma breweries have an
|nounced their intention of moving
their establishments to California as
the result of the passage of the pro-
hibition law in this state, the Yakima
brewery is to be converted into a
fruit by-products plant and the Ev-
erett Brewery building is to be occu-
pied by wholesale grocery store,
the Olympia Brewing company has
made no announcement of what it in
tends to do after the law goes into
effect, Frederick w. Schmidt saying
in response to question:
Were going to keep the plant
running until they close us up-after
that we will decide what we'll do.
We are going to give our present bus
mess all the attention it needs.''
William Virges. secretary-treasurer
of the Pacific Brewing company at
Tacoma said in regard to it's plans:
1--WE will abide by the law and close
our plant here but will Immediately
look for a site in California to handle
our business there and in the Ha-
waiian islands. We feel no rancor or
ill feeling. Our plant here cannot be
used for any other purpose, and we
will close it. When the people find
out their mistake and vote the state
wet again we will reopen. We
feel that such a course is inevitable,
knowing the fsllacies of prohibition
and of how little use it has proved in
other states"
If test of the prohibition law shows
that the breweries of the state must
90 out of business, the North Yakima
Brewing & Mailing Co. will trans
form it's brewing plant in that city
into a plant for the manufacture of
grape Juice, canned and evaporated
fruit, vinegar and other by-products,
according to a despatch to Seattle
newspaper.
Last week, when the count began
to show the state had gone dry.
the officers of the Seattle Brewing &
Mailing company announced their in
tention ito dismantle the plant there
and to erect 100000 plant in Cali
fornia and another in British Column
bia. wholesale grocery store plans
to occupy the Everett Brewery's
building, according to dispatch from
that city.

Press Comment
j ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Tho Test OF the Initiative.

Monroe Monitor-Transcript)
The state of Washington tried out
the initiative in the election and reg
istered & severe rebuke to those who
would abuse it. It has probably cost
the state close to a million dollars, all
told, to vote on the various measures.
A session of the legislature is regard
ed as expensive if it costs a 100000.
1t will not do to say that the proposed
laws were ones that the legislature
would not consider. because there is
no question but that the legislature
this winter will consider some of them
and pass laws along similar lines
that will be more nearly fair to all
persons concerned. The laws to be
voted upon were generally considered
and most voters had their minds made
up for or against. The questions
were taken seriously and thoughtful
ly and in subsequent elections it is
not likely there will be so many mat
tiers of purely class legislation pre-
scented. The voters have used their
powers we'll and in the future 1t is
sure that all the most vital measures
under consideration in this state will
be referred to the people as a whole
for settlement.

\ Democrat on Republican Pro
.(Raymond Reyiew.)

Throughout the campaign just
closed, the Republican press and their
campaign orators have declared tho
success of the Republican party at tina
polls meant prosperity for the coun-
try. 40 one will deny that the Re-
puhlicans have been remarkably sue
cessful in the campaign just closed.
We trust sincerely that their prophe-
sy of better times. based on their sue
cess, will be realized. The great mass
of voters in the United States have no
particular interest in the political
parties, but are very anxious that the
party in power should so govern the
country that all classes may be reas-
onably prosperous. We trust sincere
ly that Republican prosperity viii
soon overtake US.

BIG CROPS IN WEST
ATTRACT CON- men
AND MANY FARMERS ARE FALL
ING FOR THE OLD GAMES AND
SOME NEW ONES.

! OMAHA, November 13.-The
swindlers are after the farmers of
Nebraska and Western Iowa, enriched
by unexpectedly big crops.
J Peter Bremen, farmer of Neville,
Ia, just above Omaha on the Missou-
ri river, bought the Iowa agency of
the Michigan Bathtub Trust" ex-
pecting to make a commission of $50
on every tub purchased in Iowa for
the next ten years or so. He dealt
with the managing director" of the
trust, with whom he had become &C
quainted. When they departed the
managing director" had Bremer's
note for $1,000.
! Two hours after the contract was
signed the note was presented at a
Neville bank, but when the banker
refused to discount it the managing
director" grabbed the note and fed.
A few hours later the note was Offer
ed to country banker in an adjoin-
ing town, but with the same result.
''Selling" Silk Cheap.
) E. Cakes Brown, nineteen-year-
old newsboy of Omaha, advertised in
newspapers in St. Louis, Kansas City.
Denver and other Western cities to
sell SO silk at $3.50 a yard, not less
than six yards to the customer. He
got many letters from farmers wives,
each containing a remittance. He
was arrested on the charge of using
the mails to defraud.
Farmer Winston of Elkdale, Neb.,
rented his barn to a patent washing
machine company for use as store
house for a carload of machines
which were at the depot. Winston
was to act as caretaker and deliver
them on order of the owner, getting
81 for each delivery in addition to the
rent. He signed receipt for 1000
washing machines at $40 each. A
few days later the receipt, which was
by now promissory note for $1,000,
showed up at the bank and was dis
counted.
Bought Street Car.
: Rancher Bloya brought two car
loads of fat cattle from Paxton, Neb.,
to the South Omaha Livestock Mar
ket. After getting his cash he came
uptown to see the sights. On the
street car he met the president of
the street railway company" In the
course of a conversation he learned
that the cartracks belonged to the
city and the cars to the company.
The president" casually asked the
conductor how much his receipts
amounted to per day. The answer was
''about $50.'' Bloya was then told
that the. city charged IS per day for
the track per car, salaries to the mo-
torman and conductor were IS and
the balance clear profit. So he sold
the countryman three cars for 800
each. Only when Bloya tried to take
possession did he learn that he had
been buncoed.

Chadwick and kegley.
(Oroville Ga7ette.)

The most finished and scholarly
roast that a human being ever got in
this state was the one that Judge
Chadwick recently handed out to Keg-
ley, the plotter, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and incubus on the State Grange. The
unfortunate feature is that the scar
ing is so keen and subtle that Keg-
ley will not be able to understand it.
Kegley misquoted and misrepresented
Judge Chadwick, which called forth
the elegant skinning. There is a
marked difference between the two
men, Chadwick being an upright. fair
and honorable man. Kegley will hunt
for another mark when again he fires
his venom.

The Newspaper And Campaign.
(Colfax Commoner.)

(COlfax COmmOner.)
The public condemns the newspa-
pers for publishing SO much political
''rot," as the opposing side always
terms it, but does the reading public
ever think land sometimes we be-
lieve majority Of them do not) that
perhaps it is just as tiresome to the
editor to have to write these things
for the candidates he is supporting as
1t Is for the public to have to read
them? Put yourself in the editors
place, IL you can, and imagine Is
candidates clamoring for you to pub
lish this and that about him, and
I this and that about his opponent.
Then multiply these demands by the
number Of close friends and support
ers that candidate has and you will
get a faint idea of the demands made
upon the editor of Dartizan news
paper. Can you ina zine an editor
getting "that tired feeling" before the
end of a long campaign? Do you
think that he enjoys these fights? II
you do, think again in reverse Eng
lish. 1t is doubtful if any one be-
comes more completely wearied with
a long and hard campaign than the
editor who really has no interest in
the campaign, but must carry on the
fight for Is different candidates, ev-
cry one of whom believes that his can
didacy is the most important in the
list. No, indeed, gentle reader, the
life of the editor Of partiZan news
paper is not the bed of roses some of
you may imagine. Neither is he as
fierce and bloodthirsty as some OF
you may think. Some editors are at
least part human and derive more
pleasure from writing good things
about people than bad things about
those who may be opposing them,
their party or their candidates. Every
editor in Whitman county (and there
are IS of them, If we count BILLY
Goodyear) is glad that the election is
a thing of the past and that it will be
nearly two years before another cam
paign begins.
