Raymond Robins Forgets.

Raymond Robins, who was chairman
Of the recent Progressive National
convention, and who is now support
ing Hughes, has this to say of Presi-
dent Wilson in public address de-
livered in Chicago, October 10, 1914:
THE most skillful, the most cour-
ageous, the greatest craftsmanship of
the last two years in this world was
the manner in which Wilson averted
war between this country and Next
CO. The reason that the blood of
American men-sons of our homes
is not today reddening the hot sands
of Mexico, to serve the interests of
few corporation magnates and
spectators, is due more to the cour-
age and constancy of Woodrow Will
son than to any other factor in
American life. | would count my
self poor and small, indeed, if l were
not able to recognize wisdom, cour-
age, and public service, even if it
had been shown by the chief of an
opposing party"

Primaries Demand Short Ballot

The primary elections Tuesday
again demonstrated the absurdity of
system of selecting public officials
which presumes an intelligent choice
from such long list of applicants for
positions. The state and county tic
kets contained 76 names of persons,
at least 80 per cent of whom were to-
tally MISUNDERSTANDING a little cam
paign gladhanding-to the average
voter, so that instead of an intelli-
gent expression of the voters the final
result is pure game of chance.
1t is useless to decry the principle
of the primary law. 1t is here to
stay, and the remedy of the admitted
defect lies in shortening the ballot
Instead of electing nine state officials,
seven of whom are simply department
heads such as the members of the pres
ident's cabinet are, the elections might
be simplified by the election only of
a governor and lieutenant governor,
who would be held responsible for the
proper management of all the depart
ments.
In the county, besides the legisla-
tive candidates, we elect ten officials
whose duties are purely clerical, yet
who are nominated by voters who are
but slightly acquainted with the ca
pacity or fitness of the applicants.
Surely it is not difficult to frame a
both for economy and efficiency in the
administration of public affairs. Howl
ing about high taxes will accomplish
nothing until the axe is laid to the
root of the evil, the absurdly long
ballot.

Thanks, Major!

The country editor is quite accus-
toned to lodging bricks, but when
bouquets begin to come his way they
are apt to catch him unprepared. This
was the case with the writer when he
read the following in the Hoquiam
Washingtonian yesterday morning:
There was quite an outpouring at
the Wilson club last night when about
so of the faithful and Bill Campbell
and Frank Thurber gathered to hear
Col. J. j. Carney discuss political is
sues. We have long admired the COL
lionel and awaited ourself of the op-
portunity of hearing him talk. 1t was
a rafting good speech, but somehow
we gained the impression that the col
lionel thinks we'll of Woodrow Wilson.
He spoke of woody" in the highest
terms, and it is to be hoped that a copy
of the speech may be sent on to Wash
ington. Seriously, Col. Carney is one
of the best speakers in Southwest
Washington and it is pleasure to
hear him, even if one does not agree
with his sentiments. He also is wise
in political speaking in that he does
not stir up antagonism, but depends
upon argument"
It's alright, Major, and is filed for
due reciprocation upon the occasion
Of yOur first nOlitica1 sneech in Aher-
deem.

NOT DUETO SEX ALONE
Aberdeen Women Have Learned The
Cause Of Many Mysterious
Pains and Aches.

Many women have come to know
that sex isn't the reason for all back
aches, dizzy headaches and urinary
disorders. Men have these troubles,
too, and often they come from kidney
weakness. To live simply, eat spar
ingly, take better care of ones self
and to use Doans Kidney Pills, is
bound to help bad kidneys get better
There is no other remedy $50 well
recommended by Aberdeen people.
Read this case
Mrs. Seaman, SOC E. Second ST.,
Aberdeen, says: Il had great deal
of trouble with my back and kid
neys. My kidneys were in very dis.
ordered condition. After l had taken
one box of Doan's Kidney Pills, l was
relieved of kidney trouble. Whenever
l notice anything wrong with my kid

Land Will Grow Peppermint.

Little or no effort has been made
to learn what the logged-off lands of
Grays Harbor are best adapted to pro-
duce, and some are found to CURLY
dismiss the subject by saying it will
produce nothing profitably. Yet, the
fertility of soil, aided by favorable
climatic conditions that prevail here,
make it tolerably certain that land
which produces such large growth
of timber will do equally we'll by some
other class of vegetation.
j. A. P. Mason, pioneer resident
of Hoquiam, writes the Herald that
he is convinced that these lands will
produce peppermint at handsome
profit, as we'll as NORWOOD, spear
mint, bergamot, tanzy and other plants
the essential oils of which sell at high
figures. Mr.. MasOn's father raised
peppermint on the logged lands OF
Michigan from 1860 to 1872, and the
son did the same in the nineties.
He says he has offered to show
owners of these lands how to set out
peppermint and told of his experience
with the plant, but so far nothing has
been done with it. Peppermint will
not grow on the hills without fertil-
izing, but it requires the same treat
ment in Europe from whence comes
the bulk of this country's supply.
Near Eugene. Oregon, growers are
getting from so to u pounds Of oil to
the acre, and its sells readily for
1918 pound, netting the grower over
800 an acre. He says dandelion roots
are worth % cents pound, and tons
of them could be secured right in
Aberdeen for the cost of digging them
from the lawns, on which they are a
pest.
This is matter worth taking up by
owners of tracts of such lands, as
we'll as the commercial bodies of
Grays Harbor county, and experiments
should be made upon the various soils
to discover just what is in the sug-
gestion. 1t would cost but little, and
might prove of vast benefit not only
to the owners of the soil, but to the
county at large.

WILSON CLUB.
Woodrow Wilson League in Hoquar-
Has $50 Members. Wilson
Sentiment Is Growing
Rapidly.

Hoquiam, Sept. IA membership
of over $50 to date was reported at
meeting of the Woodrow Wilson CLUB
last evening in the Arnold block. Re-
Gently, small membership cards were
printed and passed about among tie
various club workers to increase the
membership. More cards were distrb-
uted last evening and from the enthusi-
asm shown by both men and women
who called for them large increase
in membership is promised. The work
ers agreed they would have a gaol for
the next meeting of double the present
figures.
About 60 men and women were
present The chief talk was delivered
by Col John ]. Carney of Aberdeen
Hearald Mr.. Carney dealt with ma
tional issues and vital questions be-
fore the administration, praising the
measures which have been enacted
during the term of Woodrow Wilson
and vigorously endorsing his policies.
Short talks were given by several
members. President P. ]. Mourant
spoke.
No campaign plan beyond increas-
ing the membership and general Wood
row Wilson advocacy was discussed.
At the next meeting, however, plans
for further and wider activity probably
will be discussed A special speaker,
who has not yet been chosen, will also
be present to deliver a Wilson talk.

Representative Mays, Utah Progress.
sive, Speaks For Wilson.
Representative James 81. Mays OF
Utah. in speech delivered In con
gress Aug. 25, announced bis intention
of voting for President Wilson. He
left the Republican party because he
found 1t to be the servant of special
interests and became one Of the found.
ers of the Progressive party. He ap
pealed to Progressives to be true to
themselves and refuse to be betrayed
to the Republican party.
II want to compare" he stated, 1.-THE
demands Of the Progressives with the
actual performance Of the party now
in power. If it can be shown that the
essential principles enunciated by that
platform have been crystallized into

were sincere enough in their profess
sion Of interest in the supreme needs
of the nation to care more for their
country and for its people than for any
party's success. then they will sustain
the administration. lest their refusal

legislation to be repealed"
He took up the Progressive platform
of 1912 and showed that the Wilson
administration has enacted practically
all the Progressive demands into leg
islation.
Progressives, he insisted, should sup
port the party that has been tried and
found true. The representatives OF
"the interests" he said, ruled the Re-
publican party in 1910 and 1912 and
rule it now with even more assurance
and arrogance"
Representative Mays said he had de-
termined to join the Democratic party
because the obituary Of the Progress
sive party seemed only postponed for
trading purposes and because not a
solitary ray Of hope appeared Of rene
dial legislation from the Republican
party in the interests Of the people

LAWS ENACTED ARE FOR ALL

Invites Judgment as to Whether Its
Work ls Sectional or National In
Its Scope and Purpose - Legislative
Record Set Forth.
Charles z. Hughes has raised the cry
Of sectionalism. complaining to his
western audiences because the impor-
tant committee chairmanships in the
house and senate have been filled-this
being due to seniority promotions-by
southern members.
During the last years Of Republican
control there was not committee
craftsmanship from the south" replies
Congressman James B. ASwell in his
speech reported in the Congressional
Record. "Was that nationalism or
blind ignorant partisanships?" he asks.
LET the people decide" he suggests,
whether the following great meas
ures enacted by this so called south
controlled congress are sectional or ma.
tional:
1.-The Underwood Tariff Law, just to
the consumer as against the special
privileged class, followed by a non
partisan tariff commission removing
the tariff question from politics.
1.-THE Income-Tax Law, causing the
rich to pay their just proportion of the
expenses of the Government.
1.-The Rural-Credits Law, the first
legislation solely for the farmers.
1.-THE establishment Of rural routes,
the extension Of the parcel post and
better mail service for our rural popu-
lation.
THE Good-Road Law for all sec.
lions and for all our people.
Farm extension laws, including
Smith-Lever Act. grain and cotton
standards, regulating cotton futures.
and so forth.
Numerous just labor laws, the most
beneficial In a century by the Ameri.
can Congress.
THE Child Dor Law for the chill
dren of the whole country and for
civilization.
1.-THE Federal Reserve Act. giving an
elastic currency and preventing finan-
cial panics-the greatest act ever pass.
ed in the history of our Government.
CONSERVATION acts for the people as
against special interests.
Antitrust laws and arbitration
laws, preventing special-interest con-
troll.
shipping act for open markets for
our products and commercial mastery
Of the seas.
Federal Trade Commission Act, pro-
tecting the individual as against the
vested interests.
1.-THE Seamen's Law for the workmen
and public safety.
Legislation supporting the Presi-
dent in keeping us out Of the Euro.
pean war while maintaining peace
with honor to the American flag.
Mr.. Speaker, for the sake Of the

those he would repeal"
