"A LITTLE MORE OF THE SAME. -

While we are thinking about Bryan cannot
repel the desire to quote several of his comments
on the presidents recent trust message. The
text of it he finds in the presidents statement,
eve all agreed that private monopoly is in
defensible and intoerable, and our program is
founded upon that conviction, and adds as COM
ment ''The phrase private monopoly is indefen-
sible and intolerable is to be found in four Demo-
cratic national platforms, viz: The platforms of
1900 1904, 1908 and 1912. 1t has three times
been endorsed by more than six millions Of vot-
ers it is the only statement of the trust question
that recognizes the source of the trouble, the
only remedy that lays the axe at the root of the
tree. Then, proceeding to discuss the presidents
recommendation that the men in corporation
responsible for it's wrong -doings be themselves
punished and not the corporation by fine, Mr..
Bryan comments: EVERY one who has studied
the trust question impartially and without bias
has reached the same conclusion. Filming cor
poraton is no punishment at ALL The i'm
prisonment Of few trust magnates would do
more to break up the trusts than any other RENE
dy that could be DEVISED
Recalling the history of the passage of the
currency bill, he says: cit required the high
courage and the persistent perseverance of the
president to win the victory. Victory was won
and the country is free. The finger prints
is gone and the nation breathes a sigh of relief"
That is just what you have been thinking all
along, isn't it?

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO
(FrOm The Washington Standard for
February 20, 1864. Vol. w.,
No. 15.)

1t seems that the vicinity of Seat.
tie is likely to prove the most ex-
tensive and valuable coal fields on
the Pacific coast. The quality of the
coal is now conceded to be far SUI
perior to any yet discovered.
Cotton grown in Los Angeles coun-
ty, California, is on exhibition in
San Francisco.
We published last week a notice
that Congressman Mcbride of Ore
gon had procured the passage of a
resolution instructing the committee
on postoffices and post roads to en-
quire into the expediency of estab-
fishing a daily mail from Fort
Bridges to Dalles City by way of
Boise and Auburn. This would bring
the Eastern mail to Portland about
the same time it would reach Sacra-
mento.

ACKNOWLEDGING A FRIENDLY
COMPLIMENT.

What Mr.. A. S. Cation says in letter publish
ed in another column of this issue concerning the
pear articles we now publishing is compli-
ment we desire to acknowledge most apprecative-
ly because it comes from man who is in the
business and knows it from the ground up. Such
encouragement from man who ''knows whereof
he speaks" makes the effort and the labor in
volved in the whole series more than worth while.
The suggestions Mr.. Cation makes in his letter
as to different crops he advises the farmers in this
county to grow, giving his own experience with
them in that connection, furnish up an oppor-
tunity to invite any or every farmer in the coun-
ty to use The Washington Standard as sort of
clearinghouse for all such suggestions for the
other farmers of the county, writing for pubica-
ton in this paper his own success with particular
crops and offering advice and suggestions for his
friends and neighbors. Mr.. Cations letter is an
excellent model to follow take your pen in
hand and write us letter.

WHAT OUR PIONEERS ARE DOING.

Why is pioneer society? Most of us do not
know-we are liable to think of it as crowd OF
old ''fogies" who have seen better days and get
together every and then to tell each other
about them. Rarely do we appreciate that they
are accomplishing any positive good-most OF us
younger people are inclined to smile at them, to
patronize them and wish way down in the bottoms
of our hearts that they 60 tell their troubles to
somebody else"
If we knew what the Thurston County Pioneer
and Historical Society were doing, we would not
feel that way. 1t has been success from the time
it was started four years ago, on the anniversary
of the creation of Washington territory by act of
Congress- and, its secretary, Allen Weir, said in
a contribution to The Washington Standard last
week, sits officers and members are working
quietly but effectively in collecting and preserving
historical data, the personal autobiographies of
pioneers, cooperating with the State Historical
Society in suitably marking historic spots of which
there are so many in and about Olympia and
Thurston county, and generally laying the founda-
ton of complete, accurate and permanently re-
corded history of the capital of the state and ter
ritory, with all of it's surroundings" And he
added very appropriately, mo part of the Pacific
Northwest is so rich in historic lore and historic
locations as is Olympia
They are doing something most certainly worth
while, aren't theyg

WHERE THE STATE SAVES MONEY.

Most of us are prone to think that it costs the
state more to transact particular line of business
than it would some private concern engaged in the
same industry, but the state industrial insurance
commission, under its present administration, Of
fers striking argument against such indict-
ment.
There is no casualty insurance company in
business in the world that can show the same low
ratio of expenses to amount of business handled,
as does the industrial insurance commission.
Twenty per cent of its annual receipts is the low
est ratio Of expense any private casualty CON-
pany show, while the ratio runs from thirty up
to fifty per cent for most of them. Yet the aver
age ratio Of expense for little more than the
two years the state has been conducting it's indus
trial insurance department is only eight and one
half per cent-ess than half of the lowest ratio of
any private concern--and during 1913, under the
present Democratic administration, it was only
seven and one-half per cent, about one-third what
it costs the most cheaply operated private com
pany.
Keep these facts in mind if you should happen
to read any criticisms of the cost of this depart
ment. They the truth.
