had no other use for 1t than as sub

The writer recently had the pleas
ure of reading historical poem en-
titled "The Fassett Ancestry in Co

SHOWING ADVERTISERS WHAT THEY BUY

Something no other newspaper IN this county
has ever done-something no other newspaper i'll
this city and county dares to do-Was done by The
Washington Standard this week when its circula-
ton lists were shown to the merchants OF this city
Not all of the business men have yet been seen, but
before the campaign is over every advertiser IN
the city will be shown just exactly what The Wash
ngton Standard has to sell.
Our circulation lists are open for the lnspec-
ton of any merchant in the city. We want to
show him what he is buying when he advertises in
this paper-we want to prove to him we are max
ing no false claims, to demonstrate to him that we
have the largest net paid circulation of any Oym-
pia newspaper, none excepted and to convince
him that when he buys space in a newspaper he
has right to know what he is getting for his
money.
The Washington Standard covers territory
no other newspaper in the county reaches. 1t is
territory from which the merchants of Olympia
should draw big trade. If they want to get that
trade, if they want the people of this county to
patronize Olympia stores instead of going some
where else, this is the paper in which they should
advertise, for The Washington Standard is the
only advertising medium through which they can
appeal to this trade.

linois as delegates to cast the vote
of the Territory in the Baltimore con-

Mr.. Lincoln as the first choice OF the

of the Territorial Committee will, we

nine-tenths of the Union men of the

MEDIATION IN MEXICO.

Nobody in the United States wants if it
Roe avoided, except perhaps few 'jingoes' and
s4he national administration does not want war if it
*ean be avoided but the people join in supporting
tthe policy of the administration when it declares
fthat the honor and dignity of the United States
nmust be upheld. We do not propose to pass up
INSULTS, in other words and yet when the opportu-
unity arises for settlement of the difficulties be-
rsween this nation and the Huerta faction and the
xnational administration accepts the offer of me-
sdiation, we all approve of its action
No one knows how this plan of mediation will
work out or whether it will succeed. Let us all
hope that it will bring about an ad justment of the
Observation-Disclosures and peaceful days for Mexico

Those who circulating these rumors Of

SOME EARS THAT STING.

That slogan voiced by The Washington Stan
edard last week .'better no one at ALL than John
sson'-was echoed in other newspapers in the Ho-
s9uaim congressman district and bids fair to grow
stronger. The press comments published in anoth-
ser part of this issue--comments that were made in
papers published at the same time as the Standard
show that his actions in voting against his
country have brought food of criticism from the
patriotic people of Southwest Washington. John
zson is 'marked man., as one newspaper put it,
and his political days are numbered. In the same
category the newspapers have classed Luentenant-
Governor Hart, and the ers of these two would-b
politicians must be singing with the criticism their
sdisgraceful and idiotic acts have brought upon
eshem.
There is considerable satisfaction to The
Washington Standard in thus seeing its opinions
voiced by its contemporaries because ii goes to
show that it is reading the peoples minds Alright
cone thing to il seems certain; johnson and Hart
sare due for the discard-and the shutting cannot
begin too soon.

(FrOm The Washington Standard for

The Olympia Orchestral Union,

lowing gentlemen: S. G.. Woodruff,
Prof. w. H. Roberts, l.. p Ouellette,
M. Walt, Arthur Dunn, Gus Harris,
Sam Kaufman, Emil Martinson and

Messrs. Pollock and Bruce of Te-
nino are again making, it is sup
posed, arrangements to develop the
ledge of sandstone which they bought
recently from Mr.. John Wherrett,
joining Raglass' addition to Tenino
on the northeast corner. The quarry
now in operation at the southwest
end of Tenino is being operated by
Vantine & West, who have a large
force Of skilled workmen opening it
up. Mr.. West says it is almost i'm
possible at present for them to sup
ply the demand for this valuable
stone. Mr.. Vantine is now in Ia
coma where he intends buying blocks
and other fixtures for two large der
ricks and on his return a double force
of men will be put to work.
1t is expected that before another
week rolls around ground will be
broken for the electric railroad.

College men are too valuable to serve their
country in case of war because the state pays
so much for their education, in the opinion of the
high-domed editor of the University of Washing
ton Daily. 1t occurs to us that if the students OF
that university had more patriotism and less So
cialism in their makeup, more love of country and
fewer anarchistc tendencies, the people of this
state would not so much begrudge what is costs to
educate them.
