Two districts tributary to Grays
Harbor are without means of transpor-

roads this season, in each of which
there is large acreage of fertile farm
lands. They are the East Hoquiam
river and the Grass Creek valleys,
the former north and the other west
of this city.
The Grass Creek road will give a
route around the north shore of Grays
Harbor as far as Grass creek and
eventually, according to the commits
sioners' plans, will be extended to
a connection with the Olympic high
way northwest of Hoquiam.
The valley, in which State Fire
Warden Fred Pape, owns a large
ranch, has been settled for a mum.

follow the north shore line of Grays
Harbor, giving a scenic drive.

Tacoma Attorney Throws His Hat Into the Con-
9reSSiona| Ring, and Will Contest With
Johnson For Seat
WOULD SACRIFICE HIS COAT FOR WILSON
Democratic Candidate Announces Himself in
Hearty Accord With President and Majority
in Congress

TACOMA, Aug. 10.-George P. Fish
burne, assistant United States dis
trict attorney, has issued a state
ment of his candidacy for the demo-
cratic nomination for Congress in
which he defends President Wilson
and criticises Charles E. Hughes. 1t
is as follows:
Il have just thrown brand new $75
congressional hat into the ring, and
the public may desire to know why
am so extravagant with my clothes.
l will do everything l can to help
elect President Wilson, and if l could
spare my coat, l would sacrifice that,
too. The only difference between the
Progressive and Democratic parties is
this, that the Progressives advocated
and preached certain reforms, and the
Democrats practiced their preachments
by Transforming their whole sermon
into law.
"To illustrate: Our Progressive
friends recognized this truth, that
when you have high tariff wall, and
trusts and monopolies on the inside,
your wall instead of being bulwark
of protection, becomes rather a
slaughter pen for the innocent con-
sumer with no hope of help from
without. And so the Progressives and
ourselves, in 1912, advocated a tariff
reduction, and the tariff was reduced.
Now, our motives may have been the
ignoble ones, for revenue only in
stead of for protection but then If we
accomplished the same result, why
bubble? Do you think Mr.. Hughes
made a larger contribution to the
cause of progress by vetoing the New
York 2-cent fare bill. and opposing
the federal income tax amendment
merely because he ascribed noble mo-
tives to his actions? Deeds not talk
are what count.
Wherefore by their fruits We shall
know them
The Income Tax
law, we passed an income take bill.
This softens the rigor of the doctrine
of taxation that unto him that hath
shall be given, and from him that hath
not shall be taken even that which
he hath, and compels him that hath
to contribute his widows mite to the
support of the government. 1t is
the first mite | have ever thought
right.
Through Mr.. Wilson, the Democrats
passed the currency bill. Now this
takes the control of the panics away
from Wall Street and J. p. Morgan
& Co., and spreading it over the coun'
try, allows the government to per-
form this function. Under the old Re-
publican law, our currency system
could not stand the strain of the mere
domestic panic of 1907. Under the
federal reserve act. we have not only
weathered the worldwide financia
storm, but have been able to go tc
the rescue of shipwrecked Europe.
"Other reform measures to the cred
it of Mr.. Wilson are: The special de
partment of labor, creation of fed
eral employment bureau, five eight
hour laws covering all the work fol
the U. S., federal trade commission
rural credits, the tariff commission
and few other acts which we have
not space to mention.

THE judges of our supreme court
bound by statutes and precedents Oft
en- older. Their Bible, the constitu
tion of the United States, is a very
ancient document Their exalted po-
sitions isolate them from their fellows,
so that they necessarily become back
ward rather than forward-looking
men.
"Mr Taft, as great judge and
man as Judge Hughes, and one of our
greatest eX-Presidents, was not salts
factory President. Why? Because he
suffered with judicial temperament
and it took four years of the presi-
dency to cure him. Justice Hughes
has bad attack of it. You can tell
by his speech of acceptance. thought
when l got well into it, that l was
reading supreme court decision, and
found myself turning to the back of
the paper to find the number of the
volume. In true judicial fashion, he
borrowed from the brief, the Repub-
lican platform, after we'll diluting it.
There was no suggestion for the fu-
ture, but he satisfied himself with the
legal cure for all things, punishment
by sentencing President Wilson to re-
tire to private life.
mo, Judge Hughes would make a
good umpire, but he could not be at
the bat like President Wilson, with
three pitchers, England, Germany and
Mexico, all at the same time throwing
red-hot liners at him, with grand.
stand filled with many of the big
boys from his own school, like Root,
Roosevelt and Hughes, hooting and
jeering at him to try to make him
strike out, and still hit every one Of
the balls and knock them over the
fence.
| Peace.
"It is difficult to be neutral when
the world is at war, because each of
the warning nations says, If you are
not with us, you are against u.s. To
actually get redress and an apology by
peaceable means from one of these un-
fortunates at the time of the commits
sion of the offense, blind with the
madness of Mars, is just as sensible
as to try to accomplish the same re-
suit by converting every "a hours
1000 living Americans into as many
bundles of bloody rags. But the Re-
publicans say, If Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr..
Hughes had been President there
would have been no Lusitania dis
aster.' Our answer is that if any other
policy had been followed than that
pursued by President Wilson, we might
now be in war. We must elect Pres
ident Wilson on account of the peace
and right that, through him, are and
have been, not defeat him because
of the might that might have been.
