If to absorb the Tennessee Coal X Iron Company;
contrary to law; and the prosecution OF the Trust
under TAFT was the tnal cause OF tho great Repub-
Iigan schisn in 1912
And then vi, must not forget Mr. Perkins, also
..amone those present at this ''prlvate little
dinner" who memory tells lis was generous
contributor to the Republican fund Ill 1904 and an
even more generous benefactor OF the Progressive
cause in 1912 and he is still the almoner of the
Bull Moose The fact that he is prominent IN the
Harvester Trust as well as the Steel Trust, and
that in Mr. Rooseyelts time both benefited by
government favor, is Of course aside from the
mark And as for Cortelyou, who but remembers
that he was successfully MIR. Roosevelts secretary
of commerce and labor. with jurisdiction over the
bureau of corporations. and then chief fat fryer
of CORPORATIONS as chairman Of the Republican
national committee?
These men have all worked together IN the past
They are practical men, men who know and trust
each other. who have had experience with each
other in the give-and take of public life as 1t IS
nterrelated with the industrial and financial al
fairs of the country. Why should they not dine
together? Why should there by any political sig
nifcance attached to 'just a private little
dnner?'
And vet one cannot help but think that it must
have been pleasant social occasion

BRIGHTER DAYS ARE AHEAD.

On the authority of one of Seattle's largest
banks, it may be said that business in this Puget
Sound country struck its lowest ebb last summer,
that the intervening six months just closing have
seen marked improvement, and that the months
Immediately ahead as well as the years stretching
before u.s. hold forth most alluring prospects, The
prosperity that has been sweeping that vast part
of the United States between the Rocky noun
tains and the Atlantic ocean is, in other words,
coming our way now; this bank believes it will be
a steady, permanent prosperity for this North
west
So at this New Year s season, we people of the
Northwest look forward to brighter days than it
has been our pleasure in recent years, with every
indication that our hopes conservative and the
outlook brighter than we now realize 1t will be
most welcome change. We can 60 ahead now
with greater confidence in ourselves and our dis
trict, in the knowledge that we have happily
weathered times of Stress and we can plan and
prospect and do our work with greater assurance
that we IL get along constantly better. M
Happy New Year" it is!

MAKING OLYMPIA 1.-THE GOAT"

b
Some newspaper men, with apparently nothing
better to do, sent here to Olympia to "cover" the
industrial insurance scandal have been entertain
ing themselves and the readers of their papers
with some rather wierd stories about Olympia
underworld" defining it as the district north
of Fourth street" and portraying conditions that
would do credit to New York's Bowery or the
Barbary Coast of Frisco's earlier days.
The writer confesses ignorance of such gross
conditions in Olympia, conditions which would
single it out from any other city in the state as
particularly and uniquely favored with such a
class of individuals Doubtless there are 'scrooks"
here-there certainly was at least one in the in
dustrial insurance department-and we sincerely
trust that the state and city and county authori-
ties now that their attention has been directed to
them in more or less nebulous way by these
Stories will see to it that these crooks are given
another habitation for while, at least, and that
Olympia will be cleaned up if it needs it. But we
are disposed to object to this game which appar-
emily has afforded some amusement to outsiders,
of putting Olympia up on pedestal and throwing
mud at her, because there's nothing else to write
about, at least until something far more tangible
is uncovered.

resulted in the loss Of about IS SOL

and the death of $50 Indians and
several hundred wounded.

The Methodists will begin the erec-

as the weather will permit. 1t will
be capable Of seating 1000 persons.
The site is on the corner of Fifth and
Adams.
The fact that the work has been
resumed along the line of the Union
Pacific railroad has had cheering
effect on all kinds of business.
The track Of the Northern Pacific
has now reached the city limits in
the southeastern portion of town. A
large number of citizens walked out
yesterday to see the initial train
come in over the new route from
Tacoma. The event was heralded by
a deafening chorus of steam whistles
and ring Of bells.
Labelle, the king of opium snug
glers," who escaped from the United
States secret service officers while
being conveyed from his home in
Port Huron, Mich, to Detroit about
two years ago, by jumping through
q car window, was arrested last Mon
day in this city while driving laun-
dry wagon, under the alias of Bou-
LANCER. He is said to be at the head
of the largest smuggling ring in the
United States and is worth a great
deal of money. The capture was
made by Marshal Savidge for Special
Inspector Coblentz, who has been
following him for several years.

just A PRIVATE LITTLE DINNER. .

just now, when the lines are being laid and the
ropes being pulled for the national conventions
and the next presidential campaign, there is more
than passing interest in that private little din
ner" which took place recently at the home of
Judge Ebert Gary, head of the Steel Trust, at
tended by many other trust magnates, and Incl
dentally and of course in private, personal ca
pacity, by former President Theodore Roosevelt
and his former campaign manager George B.
Cortelyou. It was just private little dinner
rs Judge Gary said and as the Coolnel also said,
but may not it have some significance in respect
to the coming presidential campaigni
The question Of all questions that is puzzling
Republicans these days is, what is Teddy going
to dot 1t would be easy of course, to exaggerate
the Importance Of this latest Gary dinner at which
the Colonel was the guest of honor, and yet one
must remember that the Steel Trust head is bound
to Teddy by many ties. He represents the ''Mor-
gan interests" which ten years ago were $50
friendly" to the White House. In 1904, you will
remember, the Trust gave heavily to the Roose-
welt campaign fund in 1907 the president allowed

The weeks developments in the industrial in
surance probe, beginning with the arrest of Frank
Stone in Portland last Sunday, give the lie to all
the stories accusing Governor Lister Of "laying
down" on that investigation. If the events of the
last two weeks indicate anything at ALL it is that
he means to probe the scandal to the bottom, as
he said at the outset in spite of all the insinua-
tions Misrepresentation and yarns" with which
the public has been entertained by certain class

Twenty-Five years ago this week, on January l.

out to the southeastern part of twon and welcomed
the first passenger train the Northern Pacific

will accompany the formal opening of the Union

time the Northern Pacific, but it's here now.

realize.
