WHY?

A couple of weeks ago. just after the arrest OF
Gillies and Roberts, we residents of Olympia
informed through the medium of a couple of
newspapers printed here, that we taxpayers had
already paid enough for the trials of Gillies that
it was doubtful whether anything would be gained
by another trial of Roberts, and that consequently
there should be further prosecutions of the
pair Last week, presumably after some one had
hOllered out Of Tacoma, we were treated to
paroXysm over the untrue statement that the pros
ecutions had been dropped, very strong hints that
the governor had sat down upon the prosecuting
attorneys neck and insisted that there be no
further prosecutions, and the consequent intima-
ton from this that there something the gov
ernOr wanted hushed up.
All of which is amusing, in view of the fact that
the Gllies-Ro investigation has not been
dropped, that the governor has not advised against
further prosecutions but has rather been very
anxious that those who assisted in the jail-break
be apprehended and convicted and in view Of the
advice given one week and then another, by these
same newspapers. And the inquiry that they
blatted in the last fit they had-"WhyY Why?
WhyY'-is mighty apropos to the situation in
their own camp.
But the perverted statements of the news ar
ticles and editorials which last appeared are just
fair sample of what happens right along. Olym-
plans, matter of fact, cannot expect anything
else from Tacoma-owned, Tacoma-managed and
Tacoma edited newspapers

WHERE ARE THE PROGRESSIVES?

Can Roosevelt deliver the Bull Moose to
Hughes9 Are the Progressives returning to the
Republican fold? What happened at Indianap-
oils last Thursday doesn't warrant affirmative an
swers to such questions by any manner of means.
Nor does the action of Washington Progressives
in supporting candidates for United States senator
and for governor nor the way the Progressves of
Oregon and California are joining the Woodrow
Wilson Progressive league, nor the way Progress
sive leaders all over the country are declaring
against Hughes and favoring Wilson. The Pro
gressives not returning as rapidly or as
numerously as the stand-pat Republicans would
have us believe want to believe themselves; for
the rank and file of them, unlike Roosevelt. Per-
kins ct al, really believed in Progressive prin-
ciples, really fought for them and will not forsake
them and go back to the reactionaries they left

THE NATIONAL POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

There are just thirteen states which are as GER
tain events political can be to cast their eecto-
raj votes for Wilson. These are Alabama
Arkansas, Florida Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee Texas and Virginia. Their
total electoral vote amounts to one hundred and
forty nine, or one hundred and seventeen short of
an electoral college majority.
Other states which are practically as safe to the
president those above named are Arizona New
Jersey Indiana, Colorado, Nevada, Missouri, Cali
fornia, Montana Maryland and West Virginia, or
total of eighty eight. Of these, all except Cali
fornia, Maryland and West Virginia, have each,
at present, two Democratic United States senator's

HARDENING BACKWARD.

The American voter of today is not so guliible
as he was generation or a decade ago. He treats
his own Judgment above the dicta of leaders or
the pledges of platforms. He looks at the cand
date first and his associates afterwards. If the
one seems good and the others seem bad he knows
that little of benefit can come to himself by an
association of the two.
Spells of rhetoric, inflamed oratOry and fac
tional appeals do not move him to vote against his
own studied sense of the situation and its envelop
ing conditions. He must be shown rather than
directed. Every great political campaign has be-
come campaign of education in which the mind
and not the passions must be addressed.
Mr. Hughes has not for many years been
active figure in politics. Peculiar conditions made
him the nominee of his party. What his position
on the great issues Of the day shall be, only time
reveal What he at present hopes to accom-
plish if elected is locked up in his breast But
what those about him, the men who made him the
nominee, propose to do is easily within popular
conjecture
When we Sc the old guard of the Republican
party ralying to him, We know that it's purpose is
to secure in exchange for privilege the same old
masters who so long maintained it in power for
their advantage.

and Sherman of Illinois, not to mention others of

We see the proposed return of privilege to
power, Of craftsmanship to perpetuity, of plutoc
racy to the saddle. We see government that is
to be in the interest of capital and an orgie of
legislation that bodies ill for the millions We see
tariff legislation that will put the burden off the
shoulders Of the former and upon the backs of the
latter We see the bartering of places and the
restoration of the lobby.
We see the European taken advantage of

deviltry threatening the peace and honor as well
as the prosperity of the nation We see the Mex
lean situation held out as bait to Mexican
American investors in adventurous enterprises in
that misery-ridden country, and the latter s des-
tiny imperiled by the lingo cries of those who
would secure money profit from it's invasion and
degradation.

ROOSEVELT APPLAUDS
HUGHES SPEECH

Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box at
Carnegie hall when Mr.. Hughes deliv-
cred his speech of acceptance and Wig
orously applauded every telling point.
The colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed in response to the cheers for
him and the shouts of Teddy! Ted
Cy!' "Hurrah for Teddy and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
''It is an admirable speech, and l
wish to call attention to the following
point &
Il am particularly pleased with the
exposure of the folly, and worse than
folly, of Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
and Of the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster to Mexico itself.
Moreover, l am very glad of the
straightforward manner in which Mr..
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this
nation by the manner in which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the i'm
preston that, although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy, they
were not to be taken seriously.
Not Words Which Count.
"As Mr.. Hughes said, it is not words,
but the strength and resolution be-
hind the words which count. AS Mr..
Hughes pointed out, there is no doubt
that if Mr.. Wilson's conduct and ac-
ton had been such as to make the for
eign nations believe that he meant pre-
cisely what he said In his strict ac-
countability' there would have been no
obstruction of American lives by the
sinking of the Lusitania.
when Mr.. Hughes uses strong words
his record shows that they are always
backed by strong deeds, and therefore
in the enormous majority Of cases the
use of strong words renders it unnec-
essary ever to have recourse to strong
deeds.
again, Mr.. Hughes speaks in char
acteriStically straightforward fashion
Of the outrages committed on muni-
tons plants, and all men, whether citi-
zens of foreign nations or nominal citi-
ZenS of our own land, who had in any
shape or way abetted or condoned
those actions can understand that Mr.
Hughes, if president will protect these
domestic American interests and pun
ish offenders against them with the
fearlessness and thOroughness that he
showed in dealing with the powers of
evil at Albany.
Brought Nation to lgnominy.
"Just before coming in to listen to
Mr.. Hughes just characterization of
Mr.. Wilson's failure to protect the
lives and property Of Americans in
Mexico and on the high seas 1 hap
pened to pick up John Fiske's Critical
Period Of American History and was
struck by the following two sentences;
"'A government touches the lowest
point of ignominy when it confesses
| it's inability to protect the lives and
the property of its citizens. A gov
ernment which has come to this has
failed in discharging the primary func-
ton of government and forthwith
ceases to have any reason for exist
ing
"Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with self restraint, but with
emphasis, that it is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
administration has failed to discharge
and that it is precisely this point of
ignominy to which he has reduced the
nation over which he is president"

Rye for Fall Pasture.

Have you provided plenty of
pasture for your hogs during the
fall months? If not, rye may be
sown any time during September
or October on stubble land or af-
ter corn has been cut for silage
or fodder. Livestock farmers
find that rye makes excellent
temporary fall and winter pas
ture. One and a half bushels to
the acre is enough for early SOW
ing, but two bushels should be
used later in the season. 1t is
pointed out by crop experts that
clover crops furnish a large am
cunt of pasture at little expense
and leave the soil in a better con-
dition. Rye protects the soil
from washing during the winter,
which often takes more fertility
from the soil than a growing
crop, Next spring the rye may
be turned under as a green man.
