We are not of those who have re-
garded Secretary Chase as an indis-
pensable necessity for the government
and we were. therefore. not particu-
iarly shocked at the announcement Of
his having retired from the treasury
department.
We regret to find that but little in
terest is being manifested by Union
men in the election which takes place
today between Messrs. Rhoades ana
Longmire and yet the result OF the
election will prove OF more conse-
quence than any which has taken
place in our territory for years past.
In the first place, it will decide the
political complexion of the next legis-
lature, and secondly. it is the first
election to take place on this coast
since the nomination OF Lincoln and
Johnson, and consequently the result
will indicate the popularity OF the
Union nominees in Thurston county.

Did you ever stop to think that there is more

Our printing is always artistic and the price is

.:''.'.:'
Tariff and r AIDE Balances.
Golfers Weekly.)

NCoi!ieI D NGSkly.]
Representative Humphrey, of
Washington, belongs to the buzzard
wing of the Republican party. MIR.
Humphrey is the one, you know, who
says President Wilson costs the ma
ton $1,000,000 a day--or is it All
hour? The one statement is about
as true as the other Here is another
sample of his March-hare figuring:
Lat April the balance of trade
against us was 100000, the first
time it has been against US since the
old GormanWilson law went off the
statute books That must mean
1897. Well. there was no yearly bal
ance of trade against the United
States under that tariff, and since
then, under Republican high tariff,
the three summer months of 1909
gave an adverse trade balance of al
most $1S,000,000. The New York
World is authority for other adverse
balances under the Republican protec-
tive tariff system: February, 1910,
$4,300,000; March, 1910, $19,2OO,-
600; April. 1910. nearly $1,OOO,0OO;
July, 1910, three times that; August,
1910, $3,500,000. The question that
interests us at the present moment is
this: Does Mr.. Humphrey know bet
ter, or is ignorance an insufficient ex-
cuse for an abusive congressman even
when he happens to be Republican?
To Prevent Initiative Abuses.
(Ellensburg DemOcrat.)
The proposing of such a number of
initiative measures as are now before
the people, has shown the need of an
amendment to the initiative law in
creasing the per cent of signatures
of voters required to place an initia-
tive measure upon the ballot. To
guard against the expense of a lot
of unwise, unnecessary, and often
harmful initiative measures being
proposed, the required number of Sig
natures to an initiative measure
should be raised to not less than 80
per cent of the voters, and the Demo-
cratic party could well afford to go
upon record as favoring such an
amendment to the initiative law. The
initiative law was originally meant
to be used only in emergencies, when
the legislature failed or refused to
enact laws demanded by the people,
and it was never meant to be used as
medium for the proposing or enact
ing of class laws fathered and pro-
posed by only small (1O) per cent
of the people, to place upon the ballot
measures which could by no POSSIBLE
ity be enacted into law.

This is the Proper Spirit.
(SnOhOmish Co. Tribune.)

Some of our good Republican
friends, and most of them are Repub-
licans, were mildly surprised at our
recent editorial in which the New
York World was quoted to prove that
most of the cutlery against our presi-
dent has been for political purposes
only. OF course we all know it is true
but they hardly expected us to say
anything about it. The Tribune is in
dependent in politics and aims to give
a fair deal to all parties. We say
aims, for absolute fairness is mark
of frail human nature many shoot at
but never score on perfectly. In our
opinion, party politics should play
little part in municipal. county or
state elections. The best man ought
to win, regardless of party. So far as
Mr.. Wilson is concerned, we repeat 1t
is our opinion that thus far he has
proved one of the ablest presidents
this country has ever had, a man OF
sincerity and patriotism.
who is entitled to the support or all
good citizens for what he has already
done and in his answering purpose
to avoid war with Mexico and to at
once enact his antitrust laws. Big
business is clamoring for surcease
from politics, but it has not clamored
one twentieth of the time that the
people waited for big business to be
put out of politics.

Why Republicans Want . Panic.
(Colfax f,nmmoror

One would think that the Repub-
licans, devout lovers of the dear
peepul," would have too much patri-
otism to wilfully attempt to create
panics through exciting fear. It Is
not pleasant to think OF our indus
tries failing and poverty and suffer-
ing being spread broadcast over the
country. yet that is the chief object
of the administrations enemies in cir
culating reports of unsound condi-
tions prevailing in business. The Re-
publicans want panic. They would
sell their souls to see business inter-
ests fail, men thrown out of employ
ment, laboring people lose their saw
ings through the failing of banks and
general woe spread over the country.
What consolation they have received
in the past from the misery that has
sometimes been suffered when they
were not in power! A panic is being
prayed for because the Republicans
hope 70 regain their power through
such an instrumentality. They little
think of the terrible cost of their re-
turn to power, should such thing
be possible. The main idea is to
again secure control of the govern
ment, and it is not difficult to see,
in considering their methods, their
object in seeking a return to power.
The people can always afford to stear
clear of such a group of politicians.

A Chance to Practice Theories.
(Creston News.)

The season is opening now when
the school lad in the agricultural col
lege, at home on his summer vacation,
can put some of his acquired techni-
cal science to practical use. Each of
these boys, no doubt, has learned
many things simple as well as COM
pick about farm and home work and
management that he had never
though of while at work on the ranch
in isolation. In college association
and experimentation have great
broadening influence. Don't poke fun
at the boy as college farmer" but
give him fair opportunity and his sug-
gestions, If he makes any, respectful
hearing. OF course we don't advise
setting him to boss" any job he was
not familiar with before he went to
college, or placing any large and UNI
tried responsibilities upon him; but
it may be that he learned new ways Of
doing some old things. If so let him
boss in trying them out. If the boy
is discouraged or "squelched" in the
early part of his course as a student
he is likely to get the impression
borne in on him that farmers don't
want to advance in their calling IN
which advancement is constantly the
watchword. We want to see these
educated farmers come back to the
land.

"Calamity HOwlers" of Other Days.
Davenport Tribune.)
Remember how the G. O. P. used to
deride the Democrats and Populsts as
calamity howlers?" Well, what are
we going to call those Republicans
and Progressives who are continually
trying to discredit the Democratic ad-
ministration by the cry of hard times?
Guess we'll just let them go without
calling until after the election when
they will settle down and get to work
to enjoy the prosperity that is on the
way and that will by that time be
budding all over the land. That is
one thing about prosperity in this
country, the knocker gets his share of
it the same as the booster, after he
quits knocking and gets down to bust
ness.

Humphrey! The first fiscal year of
the Democratic administration came
to a close June 80 with a $33,784,-
452.07 surplus, $33,500,O0O of it
coming in the last day. The G. O. p.
were tickled all last week, thinking
that there was going to be deficit,
when they we're going to shout tariff
did it. But the revenues poured in,
leaving handsome balance and the
calamity crowd are in sack cloth and
ashes. Gee, but that must be an aw-
full feeling to be praying for some dis
aster to overtake some one that you
may gain by it! 1t is very un-Amer-
lean feeling, but the G. o. P. has it
bad. Elsewhere in our Washington

out. 1t will send cold chills down the
spine of G. o. P. Office seekers, but
the rank and file will be thrilled.

Joseph Maree, colored, who was
well-known by most people in BAN
berg, he having conducted tailor
shop here for a number of years,
died at his home in this city last
Friday, after long illness.
The wife of T. J. Banks, colored
carpenter of this city, died Tuesday
of this week, after a protracted ILL
ness. The home of Banks, situated
near the colored graded school in
this city, was burned a few weeks
ago, ne and his. family barely. escap-
ing with their lives. No doubt the
exposure his sick wife sustained that
night hastened her death.
Announcements have been receiv-
eG in this city of the marriage of Mr..
Albert Leonard Spann, eldest son of
Mr.. J. A. Spann, of this city. He
was married in Sylvester, Texas, on
Thursday evening, January 1st, to
Miss Ethel Elizabeth, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sterling Price Carroll.
They will make their home in Syl-
vester, where Mr.. Spann has been liv-
ing for several years, looking after
his fathers large farming interest
there. His many friends in his old
home extend congratulations and
good wishes.
Some weeks ago We were amused
at man who came into our office
and insisted that he could not af-
ford to pay more than one dollar d
year for The Herald. Said he want
ed it and liked it very much, but
could not pay more than dollar a
year for it. We turned him down OF
course, and told him plainly that #
the paper was not worth $3.50 &
year it was not worth anyRing and
was not worth taking out of the
postoffce, even if given to him free.
The day of the one dollar paper is
past, for the weekly who prints all
its pages at home.

FoRTITUDE OF WOMAN.
Although III, Helps Husband Drag

The heroism of an Esqulmau Wo-

man for six weeks is one Of the tales

Ontario, from mission work among

The sick mar was Prof. HanIscb:
me German explorer who finally sue
cumbed to his harlshi;Is.
Prof. Hantsch intended to chart
the great inland lake in Bathn s
Land. During the expedition food
ran short. One of the Esquimaux
returned alone on foot to a store, ten
DAYS Journey. His only nourishment
outbound was one tin of condensed
milk, though he carried back heavy
load of provisions.
With only one Esql,i:nar and his
wife and a dog sledge, Prof. Hantscn
pressed north another 800 miles.
When his. health failed the two Is
ouimaux dragged him homeward On
the sledge for six weeks, although
the Esquimau woman was herself
seriously i'll.
They reached the main camp.
where Prof. Hantsch died, the Es-
ouimaux reading the Church of Eng
