He has always been an active
democrat. He was secretary OF
the Spokane County Democratic
Committee in 1910, deputy prose-
cutting attorney of Spokane county

handling that tempestuous con-
vention to the satisfaction of all
the contending forces. During the
past two years he has been state
committeeman for Spokane coun-
ty and vice-chairman of the state
committee.
Mr.. Dill has never been candi-
date for office previous to his an
nouncement as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for con-
gress, but has had considerable
experience in political affairs in
the positions of deputy prosecut-
ing attorney and secretary to Gov
ernor Lister. Governor Lister Sc
lected Mr.. Dill for the position of
secretary without his having made
any application or his name hav-
ing been even suggested to the
governor, for the place. He is a
young, aggressive and strongly
progressive democrat.

& Those who have a real desire to
know of the causes of the cost of
high living might take cognizance
OF the following facts. In 1913,
despite the gradual increase i'll
population. the number of beef
cattle in the United States de-
creased 5 per cent, and hogs de-
creased 7 per cent. AS partial
result, the farmer got an everage
increasc of Is per cent for his
cattle. II per cent for his hogs,
Sand 8 per cent for sheep.
4 1t is stated that only q per cent
of the tillable land of this country
is under cultivation, and that this
t27 per cent produces only half of
its possibility. With the great
masses of people flocking from the
farms to the cities, and leaving
the few to produce on the farms,
is it any wonder that the few get
big prices, and that the many pay
high prices for commodities
brought to the cities? With this
upsetting of natural conditions,
prices on other commodities be-
come inflated or depressed in con-
sequence of the upheaval Of natur-
al conditions, and tariff or no
tariff, money stringency or plenti-
tude, democrats or republicans,
mo power can straighten out con-
editions until production keeps pace
with consumption.

During the recent western con-
ference of governors at Denver,
it was proposed that the federal
government be asked to set aside
10 per cent of all unappropriated
public lands in each state for
reclamation purposes and that 5
per cent of such lands be set aside
for the construction of roads.
Since his return from Denver,
Governor Lister has had figures
prepared showing how much land
within the state of Washington
would be available should action
along the lines indicated be taken
by congress. The figures are in
teresting as emphasizing the vast
extent of the public domain within
the state. They show that on
July l, 1918, there were 1,750, ,208
acres of unappropriated lands, ly-
ing outside the forest reserves. OF
this amount 1,079,957 acres were
surveyed and 670,251 acres were
unsurveyed. The bulk of the land
is embraced in four counties: Kit
tias, 345,000 acres; Yakima, 348,-
500 acres; Stevens, 139, ,351 acres !;
Okanogan, 1913, ,420 acres.
At the last available report there
were II, ,684,3 acres of unappro-
priated lands within the forest re-
serves, and there has been little
change since this report was made
on June 80, 1912. The Mt. Olym-
pus National reserve, which is
under the jurisdiction of the agri-
cultural department, also com
prises sos, ,480 acres. i
1t will be seen from the figures
that should congress set aside 5
and 10 per cent, respectively, of
all the unappropriated public
lands in the state, both inside and
outside the reserves, a very con-
siderable body of land would be-
come available for road construc-
ton and reclamation purposes.
Setting aside 5 and 10 per cent,
respectively, of the unappropriated
lands outside the reserves would
make available comparatively
small areas for the purposes in
question, amounting approximate
ly to $4,000 and 175,000 acres, re-
spectively.

Goodwin's weekly related that
a certain fire insurance company in
California at the request of its
agent sent to a Chinaman a notice
of cancellation of his policy for
non-payment of premium. This no
tice brought two answers from the
Chinaman, as follows:

Prosecuting Attorney Crandell of
Spokane county states that the state
official checked their county treasurer's
office three times without finding the
Discrepancy which finally caused so
much attention in court. But it won't
happen again, when the farmers pass
their initiative measure No. 7. The
state grange is behind it, and no more
political checking will be paid for.

Col. Goethals, the builder of the
Panama canal, says: Exemption
from tolls will not give cheaper
rates from coast to coast to either
shipper or receiver, but will in
crease profits to shipping compan-
les. Therefore, free tolls to YES
sells engaged in coastwise trade
result in a subsidy to class OF
shipping already fully protected
and not in need of subsidy"
Those who claim to be fearful
that the United States is losing
control over the Panama canal by
reason of Wilson's stand on the
tolls question, might re-read the
statement of Sir Edward Grey,
British secretary of state for for
eign affairs, who on December 9,
1912, wrote to Ambassador Bryce:
"Now that the United States has
become the practical sovereign OF
the canal, His Majesty's Govern
ment do not question its title to
exercise belligerent rights for its
protection"

About the Jinqle Pace.

This issue of the Jingle Page marks
the middle of the contest. Four more
issues complete the contest. There
fore from now on the writer's should
increase their efforts.
Jenny Wren was delighted over the
Improvement shown in the Jingles of
this week. They were heater and
better Jingles to read and there were
hundreds of them tCo The wise writ
ers not only watch the advertisements
on the Jingle Page but the other ad-
vertisements of the merchants, repre-
sented on the Jingle Page, which they
publish in other parts of the paper
and on other days than Saturday. One
or two are rewarded this week for
such searching.
Remember it takes but one accepted
Jingle to make one eligible for the big
prizes at the close CT the contest.
The prizes are we'll worth striving
for.
Scores of new writer's sent in Jingles
this week and some of these won
prizes this week. Others who have
written for each of the previous weeks
also got a prize cor the first time and
others again win for the second time.
Remember the Merchant has moth
ing to guide him as to the identity of
the writer but selects the Jingle he
thinks best meets his need.
Write such good ones for the 21st
that the Merchants will feel compelled
to publish two Jingles.

POLICE AND BURGLARS.

+ VEN the most ardent friend and we-wisher of the
Wilmington Police Department must admit that
the frequency with which burgares are committed in
this city and the with which criminals escape
arrest and punishment has become almost public
scandal Il is fact that cannot be Ignored and one
that naturally is disquietng to the public
There is fair-minded man who would not like to
have the police successful warfare against such
offenders and who does regret that they are failing
to do IT, The burglary hodup records of the last
six months constitute deplorable commentary upon
the inefciency Of the department
There is old English saying that the proof OF the
pudding IS the eating" The primary purpose for
which Police Department exists is to protect the
decent elements in community against the awless
elements 1t has other functions to perform but that
Is the fundamental burglary after burglary and
holdup after hod-up with easy escapes il most in
stances have to prove conclusively that the de-
partment is inefficient that most dangerous elo-
ments IT the underworld no longer fear f.
The plea cannot be made that the onenses are COM
mitted in the outlying districts where is impossible
TO maintain patrol Many OF them have been
committed in the heart the city and some of them
almost within sight OF Police Headquarters In fact one
o the two last burglarios reported in Delaware
avenue, only few blocks of Market street and the
other at Third and Lombard streets
There is something radically wrong in the depart
ment aud it is hoped that the efficiency expert now at
work viii ascertain what it and thereby do some
hing really worth while in T. efficiency line
