The World calls the democratic
party minority party, but, as usual,
is wrong. There is but one election
in this country that shows the ma
jority of a party-the congressional
elections. The president is chosen by
states, not by popular vote, but the
biennial election of members of the
lower house Of congress is a faithful
index OF the popular will
In 1910, the country went demo
cratic by an immense majority, it's d.
rect mandate to congress being to re-
wise the tariff downward, and to end
the one-man control in the House.
The work was so we'll done that alb
solute control of every branch of the
government was turned over to the
democratic party in 1912, and this
year the country gave that party a
vote of confidence of which every
democrat must be proud.

The Oil Excitement

companies which try to float stock
with a par value of millions on the
strength of the supposed flowing well

good business to assist in a prospect

who are here now and who will reap
the immediate reward to assist in
developing the field But to buy pros.

Some Advice to SoIons.

At conferences of members-elect to
the coming session of the legislature
held in Tacoma and Spokane, there
appeared disposition to urge strict
economy at the session, as we'll as to
curb the output of needless laws.
OF the making Of such laws there is
no end in the states and in the ma
ton. Senator Root of New York re-
Gently declared that in 1909-13 con
gress and the legislatures had en-
acted 62,O15 laws. The bulk of them
were fathered by legislators who had
little knowledge or none Of laws al
ready in existence and no experience
in drafting laws. Statutes in effect
were duplicated or contradicted OF
nullified. Immense amounts of need
less work for the courts were made
by these laws, and the congestion OF
the courts thus caused appears from
the fact that in the same five years
of which the New York senator spoke
there were 65,379 decisions by state
supreme courts and the United States
supreme court. Ex-Governor Hay put
forth timely warning when he pre-
dicted to the legislator that they
would be confronted in January with
some 1000 bills. Senator Nichols OF
Seattle hit the naii e. The head when
he asserted that the mass of ill di
gested Legislation passed at the last
session of the legislature was a
crime" The new legislators should
demand to be shown" and when in
doubt have courage to vote mo"
But the public has TIE first duty as
to legislation and economy It's de
mands for appropriations for this
that and the other and for given laws
are accountable for most of legisla
tive extravaganza and for superfluous
statutes. At one time during the last
session, according to Senator Taylor
of King county, Representatives of SOC
organizations were begging the legis
lature for appropriations Chairman
James Davis of that legislature com.
mittee on appropriations adds that
the day before adjournment desired
appropriations totaled $4,553,00O. 1t
is incumbent upon the public to start
the reform of legislators and appro-
priatiOns with itself.

The Wynooehe Project

The Herald is in RECEIPT of sever.
al inquiries concerning the project of
securing the Wynooche river water
rights for the cities of Chehalis
county, some of which reveal good
deal Of misapprehension as to the
proposition as contemplated, and we
shall try to explain it as it now
stands.
Briefly, an opportunity is afforded
for those cities to acquire, free of
cost, watershed of about $4,000
acres, together with the water rights,
on the upper Wynooche river, for
the use of the water district when
desired. The only outlay anticipated
is the cost of a special election to
organize the district, which must be
done to secure form the government
the water grant.
When the district is organized it
will be along the lines of the Port
District and no water system could
be built until the district voted the
bonds necessary to build it. The dis
trict is under no obligation to build
at all, but all recognize that the cit
les in the district will, in the course
of time, need a permanent and plen.
tiful water supply, and it would seem
an act of folly to decline to accept
free what will some day cost large
sum of money.

Colonel Roosevelt Under Fire.

If he were still president Colonel
Roosevelt does not know exactly what
he would do in regard to the war
in Europe, but it is evident from his
published writings that he would
make fuss about it. He is positive
that several of the provisions of The
Hague peace convention have been
violated in Belgium. AS the United
States was one of the signatory pow
ers, he is sure of another thing, and
that is, if we can not send posse
comitatus to round up the offenders,
we should at least protest in a loud
voice.
If the colonel had not always been
more of warrior than a statesman,
he would perhaps know more about
the terms of The Hague convention,
for the second one was signed October
IS, 1907, when he was president. In
afiixing their names to that instru-
ment the American plenipotentiaries
made this solemn reservation:
Nothing contained in this con-
vention shall be so construed as
to require the United States to
depart from it's traditional policy
of not intruding upon, interfering
with or entangling itself in the
political questions of policy or in
ternal administration of any for
eign state.
We have seen on several occasions
that Colonel Roosevelt, as president,
had little regard for law and treaties,
but he ought not to be too severe in
his criticism of a successor who re-
spects such things and is not inclined
to make war on his own responsibility.

In selecting your turkey or chicken

have a prominent breastbone, and pass
over those having coarse skin and rough

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush the Kidneys at Once When
Backachy or Bladder Bothers-
Meat Forms Uric Acid

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney
pores so they sluggisilly filter or
strain only part of the waste and poi
sons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con-
stipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full Of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by sensation of scald-
ing, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine
so it no longer causes irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoid.

Alive, Dead or Sleeping?

The Aberdeen World denies the
modest assumption of the Herald, that
the recent elections did not indicate
resurrection of the republican par
ty, but was rather the galvanic ac-
ton of corpse which is dead and
don't know it, and in a leading edi-
torial Saturday sets out to prove it.
And, if one will ignore the false
premises upon which the Worlds ar
gument is based, it has proved the
case-to its own satisfaction, at least.
1t finds the republican party a diff
ferent party now from what it was
in 1912, when it was repudiated by
every state in the union, bar two,
Utah and Vermont, but carefully re-
trains from any attempt to itemize
the reformation.
The only reformation this repudiat-
ed party has made in the past two
years has been a promise to reduce
the representation in the national con-
vention from the Southern States, an
action that will lead bunch of col
ored politicians in those states to be-
come introduced to a job of real
work for the first time in years. But,
if the World believes that the re-
volt of 1912 was over mere detail
of conventions it must be wilfully
blind to current events and public
sentiment.
The World in the position it takes
but echoes the standpat press through
out the nation, and the entire Choir
us is in the attitude of the small boy
passing a graveyard at night, whist
ling to keep their courage up. The
return of Penrose and Cannon to
congress is not calculated to draw
back the revolutonists who left the
party because of it's long continued
control by privileged interests which
were, and are, inimical to the pub
lie good
To democrat, a glance over the
election returns of this year shows a
tremendous victory. For the second
time since 1872 the party in power
congressional elections, the majority
in the senate has been materially in
creased, with every prospect of re-
tanning control of that body until
1921 at least. The house retains a
good working majority, a feat seldom
performed by any party after revis-
ing the tariff. The people have plac-
ed the government in the hands of
the democratic party and that party
has absolutely no opposition that Of
fers the slightest remedy for any al
legged ills or suggests any change in
the wonderful amount Of constructive
legislation written into the statute
books by the present congress.
The republican party went through
the last campaign without a solitary
issue. It's candidates depended upon

world, with it's consequent distress in
industrial circles.
None of them advocated the return

WHO WANTS THIS BEAUTY,
Snyder 4 Miller to Make the Best

The local saddlery and harness

Der 10-11-12. "Some saddle. goes

seats control of the farming regions, so
that they could vote bonds for the con
struction of expensive county buildings,
and thus increase the burden of taxa
ton upon the agricultural interests. I'm
der present conditions the farmers con-
troll the situation absolutely, and they
will be unwise to permit the balance of
power to be removed from their hands.
The writer believes that county divi-
sion at this time is not only premature,
but unwise. The opening of the Pana-
ma Canal will undoubtedly hasten the
construction of the Missoula cutoff and
the Salmon river railroad. When these
enterprises are completed there will
then be enough available taxable prop
erty and increased population, with
well established commercial centers to
Justify creation of new counties and
the location of permanent county seats.
Until then, we feel that county division
of any kind is premature and uncalled
for. The reduction of taxes is the para
mount issue throughout the state and
will undoubtedly occupy the Legislature
to the practical exclusion of other is,
sues, including county division.

The movement having for its purpose
the staging of the third annual Border

and the various committees are now
engaged in the work of preparing the
big show. Several contracts have al.
ready been signed, lumber is being

taking lively turn.
There is every indication that the
third annual show will be as good as
those of former years if not better
the steer roping, a feature which was
severity critized by many of the patrons
OF the show last year, will doubtless be
elimated at this falls show. However,
all the usual attractions to be found at

who have, a direct personal interest in
reducing taxes and they will meet with
the ready sympathy of our people who
are more interested in reducing the
burdens of taxation than in creating
new counties, which must necessarily
increase taxes.
The total equalized valuation of all
property in Idaho county for 1913 ag-
created $13,33S,921, collected from 3O92
resident and few nonresident tax
payers. simple arithmetical calcu.
lation will demonstrate that county
division as at present proposed into
three counties will reduce the valuation
of each county to less than $4,000.0O0
with only 1000 taxpayers in each
county to bear the burden of maintain
ing county organization. These are
facts worth considering
County division along the lines as
now proposed would give to the county
