An Ungracious Complaint

Few papers come to the Herald
desk that are read more entertain
ingly. and often instructively, thar
the Hoquiam Washingtonian, and few
editors have we more personal regard
for than Major Patton, hence it is
with reluctance we proceed with child
ing. In this mornings paper, the ma
jor says:
with an office headed by a
competent and wellpaid assess
or and with said office bullying
with assistant and deputy as
SCISSORS of high and low degree,
the commissioners are preparing
to pay an outside man a lump
sum of $4,000, and an annual fee
of $3.50 for appraising the value
of mill plants in the county. The
assessor and his deputies are
fully competent to do this work,
it is strictly within the line of
their duties, and to have it done
otherwise is simply throwing mon
ey at the birds"
1t would be unfair to attribute this
emenation to ignorance of the facts
the Washingtonian, through it's read
ing of the Herald, is fully advised
on the tax subject, so that the fore
going criticism can only be account
ed for in two ways, the major was
off the job, deliberately endeavored
to befog the attempt being made al
this time in Chehalis county for 4
fair adjustment of tax burdens. The
Herald is inclined to the former be
lief.
Reduced to a common denominator
the complaint is that concern-may
it be Chehalis County or the Rain
bow Timber Co.'s not justified ir
spending about one-thousandth of one
per cent of the sum it is convinced
it is losing in gross revenue, in order
to definitely locate the point of such
loss and avoid it's continuance. The
position is SO absurd, that we refuse
to believe our friend, the Major, saw
it until it was in print.

Determined to Find Fault

Some of the standpat newspapers
are making desperate effort to find
iault with administration policy of
rust legislation and regulation. The
%ew York Tribune, stubbornly Re
publican. can see no good in the give
'rothers" bills offered in Congress in
response to the recommendations in
he Presidents message. The Tri.
uue in referring to two of these
measures says:
The two bills further defining re.
slraint of trade only multiply phrases.
ithout adding an iota to the strength
e the Sherman law The law as it
IS been interpreted by the courts
$ more adequate and far-reaching
ran any OF the new CLOSES upon it.
The courts do not need the guidance
Cr the additional definitions. Their
lief value is to give the public an
Impression OF overtime activity in
rs interest"
This is somewhat strange doctrine
in view of the fact that for years tn,

chief contention of all business men
has been that the Sherman law and
the courts Interpretation of it left
them no recourse except to 60 into
cour to ascrainttete s, fsimooJhtnom
court to ascertain whether they were
violating the law. The Republican
national platform of 1912 recognized
the necessity of legislation supple
mental to the Sherman act. The fol
lowing is from the Republican plat
forms declarations on the party S
antitrust policy.
The Republican party favors the
enactment of legislation supple
mentary to the existing anti
trust act which will define as Grim
inal offenses those specific acts
that uniformly mark attemps to
restrain and to monopolize trade,
and to the end that those who
honestly intend to obey the law
may have guide for their &C.
ton and that those who aim to
violate the law may the more
surely be punished.
The two Administration measures
which the New York Tribune is rail
ing against are the two measures that
carry into effect the antitrust policy
advocated by the New York Tribune
and all the rest of the Republicans IT.
1912. In the final analysis the New
York Tribune should admit that i,
is opposing the measures simply be
cause they are being urged by Demo
cratic administration and that it woulc
support them if they were being urg
ed by Republicans. 1t is just another
case, now happily becoming rare, OF
placing partisanship above principle

Dallam Defends Lister

Frank Dallam, former secretary to
Governor Hay, in his Oroville Gazette
last week said under the headings,
Merits Praise, Not Censure."
The report comes from Olympia
that a number of labor leaders are
planning to induce the State Fedora.
ton of Labor to protest against Gov
-ernor Lister employing, a couple of
honor convicts in the executive man.
sion in the capacity of servants.
1t is altogether improbable that the
State Federation of Labor will take
such action. On the contrary, it would
be more in keeping with the better
spirit of the organization to praise
the governor for his course in CIV
ing employment to the two convicts.
1t is incOnceivable that any man, or
any body Of men, who have at heart
the advancement Of human welfare,
could find reason for criticising the
governor because he has given two
convicts such an opportunity to make
good and win back the confidence Of
their fellowmen.
The question of any possible COM
petition with free labor by reason of
giving domestic employment to two
convicts sinks into absurd insight
ficance beside the real and substan-
tial benefit to the men themselves
in being placed on their honor and
in being trusted with responsibility
by the executive. The governor is
not only trying out these men in a
practical way, but he is giving them
genuine incentive to make good and
regain their standing in society. In
benefitting them he is benefitting So
ciety. He is helping to prove that the
reformative way is far better than the
old system of retribution in treating
criminals.
These two convicts were laborers
before they were committed to the
penitentiary. One was a member of
a union. If they we're confined with.
in prison walls until the expiration
Of their terms, given neither trust
nor responsibility, and then turned
back into the current of life, without
preparation of means to provide for
themselves until they could find their
footing, as so many thousands are
turned back every year throughout
this country, the multiplying tempta-
tons that swarm on every hand would
find them easy victims. They would
be apt, most likely, to return to the
paths of crime that led them into their
original plight This is what happens
in too many cases, and is one of the
causes of the ever increasing number
of criminal records.
AS it is, the governor is giving these
two men in his employe an opportun-
ity to strengthen the good that is in
Them; is preparing them for their
freedom when restored, and will send
them forth into the competitive walks
of life with the wages that they have
earned as a defense against pressing
need until they can re-establish them
selves as free men.
Only the most pettifogging sophistry
of the narrowest fanatic can find cause
for censuring the action of Governor
Lister in giving two convicts a chance
for right living and it is safe to pre-
dict that the State Federation of La
Dor will frown upon any attempt to
commit it to such ridiculously I'M
reasoning course.

Wars Fearful Death Toll.


Some idea Of the enormous number OF
men killed can be gathered from "A
statement made by Galician priest
who saw the clearing of a battlefield
in Galicia after a conflict between
Russian and Austrian troops which
lasted for hours. He reports the num-
Der of dead buried in grave four
miles long at about 10000. This is
only one days slaughter on a part of
one OF three battle lines. A writer in
the American Underwater recently
estimated the number Of men who
would be killed in battle if the pres
ent war lasts for twelve months to be
at least $4,000. This is exclusive of
those permanently crippled, but in
cludes those who die from disease.
This estimate is based on the ratio OF
deaths to the total number of men ia
the war between the states, Franco
Prussian war. Boer war and the Russo
Japanese war.
As an officer of mathematical turn OF
mind has calculated from statistics
that ii requires $3.50 bullets to kill
one soldier. or about 16S pounds. il is
easy to estimate the amount of mis-
siles that viii be used in dlsposing OF
the $4,000 soldiers that the statisti-
clan above quoted has doomed to death.
That only one bullet out Of $500 should
cause a fatality seems almost incred-
ible until we remember the conditions
under which lighting is now done.
Long-range rifles have undoubted mill
tary value. but they do not tend TO
increase the standard of marksman-
ship, and mole execution was done
with the smooth-bore muskets of Ma
poleon's time than by the highly eff
cient mausers of today because the
whei cas- now a great deal of il is done
at range of more than one mile.
