Diminished Vitality.

Some people talk very f1ippantly

They don't stop to think that vitality
is the principal of life-that it is that
little understood something on which
every function of their bodies depends.
Diminished vitality is early indicat-

NON.PARTISAN CONVENTION.

Reports from all parts Of the county are to the
effect that the voters of this neighborhood awake
to the opportunity offered them of selecting a
nonpartsan ticket obligated only to transact their
business in business way, with organization
to maintain and no political scheming to do, are
trcc y signing the petitions for non partisan
vention primary day, indicating that they clear
ly the chance they have and are disposed to
take every advantage of it. And this general sign
ing is not confined to members of one party or of
two parties but of all the parties and is in fact
being made without reference whatever to parties
but out of the knowledge that better management
of the county's affairs can be obtained and dis
position to exert this means to obtain it.
The day is unquestionably coming when non
partisanship will be the order of the day in
county affairs throughout this nation, as it is now
here with reference to the election of our Judges
because the conviction is growing amongst our
people that party lines should not be drawn in
such matters and because out of this conviction,
there has grown in the last few years a large
to be the controlling factor in elections That the
voters of Thurston county, by taking such step
they now propose, will by wise and co-Opera-
tive action bring such condition of affairs to
operate in their own county without the aid of
the statutes, is point upon which they can con-
graduate themselves heartily.
The door to non-partisan management of
their county affairs is open and we believe they
will rush to enter it,

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.


Horrible as it is and fearful to contemplate,
the European war is showing the people of the
United States one thing-that Wilson abso.
lutely right on his Mexican policy. They are able
to see now, in the fearful havoc into which haste
has plunged all Europe that the presidents so
much derided ''watchful waiting policy was by
far the best policy they are able now to reckon
far better than before, the fearful cost in life
and money of war, big or little, and the sacrifice
Wilson spared this nation
And his head is bowed with man s deepest
grief, as she who was his closest companion is
separated from him, Woodrow Wilson is recev-
ing the greatest endorsement of his Mexican pol
icy the world could give. Our hearts go out to
him in his great, deep sorrow, just as we pro-
foundly thankful that such man as he handles
the nations course. These last few days have
taught to us who did not know-who had not
stopped long enough to actually realize-the
horrors Of war, and the lesson, terrible though it
may be, has served to quicken the American peo-
pie to realization Of what the president averted.
Five men sat in the smoking room Of a trans
continental Pullman the other day, talking these
things over 81 thought Wilson was wrong in
Mexico one of them spoke up, sbut now I know
he was right" Il thought he was crazy
thought we ought to go down to Mexico and
clean 'em up" another said, but can see now
would have been great mistake And so it
went-each one Of the five frankly stated their
previous opposition to the presidents Mexican
policy, according to the who told us the story,
and just as frankly expressed the change Of mind
produced by the European war. That incident is
remarkable but it is only one of many that have
occurred all over these United States since that
great foreign war broke out
Maybe, coming it does in these hours of his
greatest grief, this sudden and strong endorse
ment Of his policy will tighten the president S bur-
den, will bring to him, along with their sympathy
IN his sadness, the peoples gratitude, and will
make him feel that he is not one apart from us
but one Of us, having read our hearts better than
We ourselves knew.

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT !
IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO !
From The Washington Standard For
August IS, 1864. Vol.
Nv. No. 40.

A Washington letter says that
Chas. Wood, ESQ.,, has been appointed
postmaster at this place, vice F. M.
Sarjent, removed. Mr.. Wood will
make faithful and efficient officer.
The mails are now arriving on the
old schedule time, SO hours from
Portland.
It is currently reported on the
streets that the material of the P. s.
Herald is to forthwith removed to
this place to aid in printing de
mocratic" newspaper at the supposed
fountain-head of all wire-pulling-
the Capital. This will make no less
than four printing-offices in this
place, which scarcely numbers 200
inhabitants.
Our friend, Maj. Francis of the pay
department., arrived in town on
Thursday last. He has been to the
military posts at San Juan and Steil-
accom- to pay the U. s. troops there
stationed.
We learn from Mr.. Waterman, the
new superintendent of Indian Affairs
for this district, that change will be
made in the mode of distributing In
dian appropriations on this coast, so
as to avoid the issue of vouchers, as
has been the practice to greater or
less extent heretofore.
Pursuant to previous notice, an ad-
journed meeting of the citizens of
Thurston county was held at the
district school house on Saturday,
the 9Th inst, to receive and consider
the report of the road-viewers. The
prevailing opinion seemed to be the
road could not be completed in time
for the present years emigration. In
consideration of this view and the
necessarily imperfect exploration
made in the limited time afforded the
viewers, it was decided that the COM
mittee appointed at the previous
meeting consisting of Messrs. Nc
Lane, Miller, Beach, Longmire and
Winsor) be instructed to cooperate
with the citizens of Lewis county, to
secure if possible thorough exami-
nation of the various routes through
the Nisqually pass and to open sub
scriptions to defray the expense of
the same.
We publish a report in another col
umn submitted by L.. A. Davis, ]. T.
Browning, E. T. Finch and Marcel
Burney, who, unsolicited, examined a
route for road across the Cascade
mountains via the Cowlitz pass,
which they think would be excellent
and inexpensive.

THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE.

For the United States to gain benefit from it's
position as the wealthest paper in the world"
nys the London Statist, the worlds premier au-
thority on financial affairs, sit is essential that
American investors should not only have conf
dence in the fortune of their own country but also
believe that, war or no war, the world will con-
tnue to progress. Should America take advan-
tage of the golden opportunity offered it by the
European struggle, it will mean not diminished
but increased prosperity for the United States.
Coming from such an authority in such ma
fon, these words give the strongest endorsement
TO the generally expressed belief that the war
will build the future commercial and financial
supremacy of the United States quicker and bet
ter than anything else could have done While
we OF course should not goat over our good for
tune at anOther's terrible expense that does not
mean we should not exert ourselves to the utmost
to take advantage of every legitimate opportunity
offered to advance this nations position in the
commerce of the world. Unquestionably, there is
an opportunity before us, which will become great
sr as soon the temporary furry is past, and,
especially during the tedious reconstruction per-
rod through which the old world will be COMPEL
ed to pass, no matter how long or how short is this
war, will give the entree into all nations and all
markets.
The United States appears to be most FORUM
ately situated from the commercial standpoint so
far as this war is concerned Business locally is
very sound and on firm basis and according to
the government crop report of August l. there will
be five hundred mion-thik of it more bushels
Of oats and corn in the United States than last
year, which means, according to present grain

who catching for moment glimpse of the grief
that overwhelmed the nations president realized
the sorrow wreathing him in the passing of the
first lady OF the land. Into all such sadness we
enter as brothers and sisters of one great land,
elevated to that plane of common sorrow that

our hearts we extend to him our tributes of ear.

TOO MUCH WAR FOR POLITICS.

There's new complaint in the land-a wall
from those who would save us from all our woes
and sins and reverses, from those patriots who,
like Ole Hanson, they owe the state a big
debt and want to pay it by going to the senate,
from those whose mouths are watering and whose
tongues would be liberated in soaring flights of
eloquence," or what passes for 1.-THE complaint
that there s so much war nobody wants to hear
political speeches. What sadness What a
grief
1t is not because we have not plenty of candi-
dates-there are lots and lots of them about seven
for every place from dog-catcher to serator-and
it is not because there is not whOe-sOuled dispo-
sition among these candidates to be heard to let
loose those flights of oratory seething within their
breasts and to come to us and for us paint the
glowing pictures Of their abilities and character
stics. They willng-eager-an torn
with despair because of their pent-up utterances
(not to mention their boiling over emotions) but
the people OF this state, stirred by counter and
greater attraction, have the notion in their heads
they want to know more about what is going on
in Europe and less about politics and will have
none of them.
We presume it will be all right in the end, lust
the same. Some Of the patriots may not be salts
fed, perhaps, but we presume the people will
