NOTHING TO IT

A good deal is heard about hard
times these days. Many people are
complaining about dull markets for
their products, the lack of work, slow
collections, the high cost of living and
the shortage of money. This condi-
ton is not real, and these complaints
are all groundless. People should
cheer up and forget it. The so-called
hard times is not real. 1t is merely
IA state of mind, or, as our president
50 neatly put it, the hard times is
psychological The lack of work is
IA fiction dull markets are imaginary,
tight money is a perverse mental de-
fusion, slow collections are an hall
ucination, and the high cost of living
a sort of delirium tremens.
If you are out of work and out of
money take the democratic faith cure
and that empty feeling under your
belt will prove to be a delightful and
satisfying sensation. If you are in
debt and unable to meet your Obliga-
lions, you should worry. Notify your
creditors that your condition Is psy-
Geological and that the debt has no
real existence. Tell them to pursuade
themselves that it has been paid and
they will cease pressing you. If you
are creditor and your debtors can
not pay what they owe you don't let
that trouble you, but exercise your
fancy little and you will have no
need of the money. If you can find
10 market for the things that you pro-
duce, just imagine that the demand is
strong and the prices everything you
could ask and all will be lovely. If
the cost of living seems high and you
find it impossible to buy the bare nee
essities of life, remember that we have
a democratic tariff Cor revenue and
that living prices in accordance with
theory ought to be much lower. That
will help you to believe that you have
all that you want and need and to I'M
derstand that your physical yearning
for more is british domination of
matter over mind and can be easily
changed by simple mental contor-

and eccentric member of the bar OF
this state is alleged to have remark
ed when constitutional objection
was raised to course he was adVo-
eating, whats the constitution be-

the frequency with which constitu-
tional restraints have been disregard
ed in the making and administration
OF the law, this remark has often been
quoted as an ironical commentary on
a deplorable tendency in this country
and it has been invested with more
point and force than mere light and
airy witticism would ordinarily re-
ceive.
In the light of events this remark
might aptly be paraphrased to apply
to the attitude of the democratic adj
ADMINISTRATION towards the Baltimore
platform. The bourbon spellbinders
insisted during the campaign of 1912
that their platform was contract with
the people to be held sacred and in
violable That promise has been
freely disregarded as of no con-
sequence on repeated occasions since
the national administration was plac-
ed in the hands of the democratic
party. So frequently has this cOven-
ant been violated by the president and
the other leaders of the party in pow

selves what is platform between

and multitude of companies have
been organized ostensibly to drill for

surely follow the investment of few

1t is reported that a delegation has
already gone to Olympia with the
avowed intention @ lobbying for a
division of OkanOsan county. The
last development is that division will
be asked for on line down the east
water shed of the Methow valley and
across the county cast and west at
about Mallott. Only short time ago
a republican candidate for the legis-
lature was defeated upon the false
report circulated at the eleventh
hour that he was in favor of just
such a division. That is the division
line that Mr.. Gillespie desired Mr.
Blackler to pledge hila elf to support
in case he was elected, and because
Mr.. Blackler refused Mr.. Gillespie
threw away the principles of life
time and supported the democratic
candidate, from which the Inference
could be drawn that tire democratic
candidate had pledged himself to
favor such division. What do the de-
luded voters now think of the way
they were gold bricked?

ton into sumptuOus spiritual tri-
umph over fact.
OF course all this talk of hard times
is due solely to the unwarranted ca
lamity bowling of the republicans.
Times were never better during any
democratic administration. We are
only deceiving ourselves or permitting
ourselves to be deceived when we be-
leive that times are hard. Why, the
recent congress knew better. a vi
fused to be fooled by the hard tinsHs
cry of the opposition. 1t saw the
truth and recognized that the cOndi-
ton was wholly psychological. See
ing clearly through this peculiar form
OF mental delusion and accepting the
truth as propounded by it's master,
the president. the congress afforded
all the Injuries of the most prosper
Gus times. 1t passed tariff for rev.
cnue that could not possibly produce
sufficient revenue Tor current eX
penses; it heaped up the appropria-
tons by a record breaking pork barrel
distribution of favors with Uncle
Sans resources, and in the midst of
peace at home it passed big and
Iburdensome war tax to cover the de-
| ficiency. These things would not
have been done If times were hard.
The democratic party has too much
| consideration for the dear people to
Impose unnecessary taxes upon them
or loot the treasury for wasteful ex-
penditures of public funds
| All of this ought to be sufficient
proof to convince anyone that times
are booming and prosperity fairly
rampant throughout this country.
Don't let yourself get mixed up on
the psychology of the situation. Don t
worry and be pessimistic. Don't let
the designing republicans fool you
about conditions. Remember that
hunger, and poverty and restitution,
lack of work. depressed markets, tight
money, poor collections and high cost
OF living are all state of imnd, just
like the various forms of insanity. If
you remember this you may find Il
much easier to endure, you may even
find it a pleasant apd desirable cOndi-
ton to continue.

The Brewster Herald, in a rambling
article, containing not one scintilla of
truth, comes out in the defense of Mr.
Gillespie for the part he took in the
defeat of Mr.. Blacklcr, the republican
candidate for the legislature. There
is no denial that Mr.. Gillespie has
gone over to the democratic party,
where he will be found in the future,
il consistent. The change of heart is
something of surprise, as Mr.. Gil
lespie was loyal to republican prin-
ciples for many years. has been trust
ell and honored by that party, and is
even now holding a minor position
under republican official. However,
he will no doubt resign that office, as
he can hardly expect any more favors
from that party.
