The Critic and the Common seold.
"Any discussion Of the Wilson ad.
ministration, unless servilely f1atter'
ING, arouses the Aberdeen Herald" re-
marks the Aberdeen World In the
opening Of an editorial that reminds
one Of a patent medicine circular in
that, in the latter case. the nostrum

Ills that human flesh Is heir to; and
the World finds the cause Of every

that the government is in the hands
Of the democratic party.
The Herald loves . partisan, but
he evening paper overacts the part;
and It fails to note the dividing hne
that lies between the critic and the
common seold. No aet Of the present
administration has pleased the sapient
editor Of the World, nor can = pubic

Does anyone suppose that the lum.

lumber had been retained?" asks the
World, in spite Of that fact that no
foreign lumber has been shipped into
the United States. nor is any such

It is admitted that the new tariff dealt
more harshly with shingles than it
did. with lumber. yet despite the handi-
cap Of shingles coming from British
Columbia, a greater percentage of the
single mills in Western Washington

constant iteration many have been
convinced of its truth. The republican
