THE PROGRAM FOR CONGRESS.

Briefly pontedly and calmly President Wilson
told the congress last Tuesday what the country
expects it to do in the short session now under
way He touched upon his proposals III very
plain and simple way, he recommended no compll-
Gated or lengthy program and he did not burden
the congress with lengthy exposition OF his
views, but he put before them several highly I'M
portant pieces of legislation and advised them
that the nation expected quick action.
Foremost of them, Of course, is the railroad leg
islation of which the eight hour law was but the
first step, the remaining being the reorganization
and enlargement of the interstate commerce CON-
mission full public investigation of industrial dis
putes, and authorizing the president to control
and operate the railways in time OF war "or other
like public necessity Reference is then made to
bills which the house has already passed and
which are now before the senate, including the one
to facilitate extension Of the country's export
trade, a bill carrying out our pledges to Porto
Rico and corrupt practices act.
Six measures of prime Importance are thus laid
before the congress by the president, in clear and
concise language, unburdened with any other
matter than that pertinent to the points at issue.
It is not an elaborate, complicated or lengthy pro-
gram, but it is an extremely essential one 1t
directs the attention of congress to few chief
problems and urges the necessity OF action upon
them.

The extension course in progress here this week
is proving highly valuable to our farmers, judging
from the comments of those who are attending
while the State College representatives express
themselves as highly gratifed over the interest
taken in the meetings. One of the most important
and instructive of the sessions is to be held Satur
day afternoon, when a special program has been
arranged for the dairymen of this section. 1t is
certainly unnecessary for us to suggest that you

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. g.
Department of agriculture and post

Three general propositions are
suggested by friends of the parcel

Reduce postage on foodstuffs so
that farmers may market their prod

Enlarge the service from cities to
rural communities where a speciality
is made of food products.
Increase the size of the foodstuffs

The announcement Of the state board Of control
that the average percapta cost of maintaining all
of the state institutions was nearly four cents per
inmate per day lower during the past two years
than during the biennium ended in September,
1912, shows not only that Governor Lister knew
what he was talking about when he promised
greater economy and efficiency in the conduct Of
his departments but also that his departments
are making good on his promise. This particular
instance remember is in spite of general in
crease in the cost of nearly everything used

Undoubtedly there are great possibilities ahead
Of the Democratic party Of the state, undoubtedly
if the present public confidence in its govern
mental leaders, both national and state can not
only be maintained but stimulated through the
efforts of the party in supporting and assisting
them, Washington will be found in the Democratic
column far more frequently in the future than it
has in the past. But we cannot do this if we are
going to indulge in wild-eyed pickering among
ourselves, if we are going to let personal animosi-
ties weaken our influence and disrupt our CO
operation. The Democratic party in this state
must make it's organization progressive as its rank
and file are progressive, but there's need of it's
throwing fit" in doing it.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH FOOD PRICES?

The federal and various state governments are
proceeding now with cost-of-living inquiry, oc-
casoned by the popular agitation and the egg
boycotts of the last few days, and the conviction
is growing that there is real deficit in prOduc-
ton and supply but that there is great deal of
artificial shortage. New York and Chicago
authorities, for instance place almost the entire
blame for the present high prices Of food upon the
cold storage and charge various sorts of
manipulations to evade the state laws
And along with the cold storage men, the
grocers and the middlemen and the farmers are all
coming in for more less blame but when you
come right down to it, the prime cause of the
abnormal cost of living in the United States today
is lack of proper distributions sufficiently direct
marketing between the producer and consumer.
We use the term abnormal advisedly, for at the
present time an extraordinary influx of gold-the
greatest in the nations history = has brought
about imitation and hence has lowered the pur-
chasing power of the dollar But while this might
account for general stfening of prices of all
commodities, it does not explain or excuse the
brazen extOrton that is generally practced
If the railroads allied with the people, in
the exclusive service of the people, DESTROYS of
performing their function as distributing sys-
tenn with the greatest speed and facility the prod
ucts of the nation would be distributed so that
neither shortage nor extOrtion would be known
within its borders 1t is the function of the rail

THE FIGHT ON FOGARTY.

If President Wilson does think he will,
he will tell one j. ID. Trenhome, in reply to the
latter's letter charging "perncious political
tivity' against two federal apponees in this
state-he will tell Mr. Trenholme to wash his
own dirty inen,' meaning in addition to the
various constructions that could be put upon such
advice, the principal suggestion that the Demo
Gratis of this state ought to be and in his opinion
are big enough and capable enough and fair
enough to settle their party troubles, without
running to him with them.
The idea of presenting such charges to Pres
dent Wilson, of annoying him with such things at
a time when his every attention must be given to
the perpleXities of international and domestic
evenss seems to to be outrageously preposterous
and tremendously presumptuOus. Granting that
the charges are entirely proper and can be sub
stantiated granting that they afford basis for
the removal of the particular officials yet there
appears to us reasonable excuse at all for pre-
sentng them to anyone other than the cabinet
officials in charge Of the departments concerned
To our mind it was the height of the ridiculous
to carry them up to the president.
Somebody Numbered and blundered woefully,
for that matter in this fight to GUST j. B. FOgarty
as state chairman. Given the opportunity grace
fully and permitted to pat himself on the back
freely for putting this state on the Democratic
may for the first time, Fogarty, it is not at all
unlikely, would have handily made way for
another and been content to rest on his laurels,
said laurels being more refulgent, more brilliant
than any ever worn by any other state chairman,
always providing you want to give him credit for
the fact that Washington cast its electoral vote
for Wilson and reelected Governor Lister
Spite of Fogarty and some Others the Demo-
cratic party in this state is progressive now and
will continue So For our part, Governor Lister
suits us far better party leader than Mr..
Fogarty and undoubtedly would be so considered
by the voters of the state if any particular oppor
tunity were given them to make choice between
the two. This comment, however, is somewhat
aside from the particular issue in the present
troversy, which really is whether the Democrats
Of the state, as represented by the state commit
teemen Of the several counties, want Mr.. Fogarty
to continue as their state chairman
That question can be very readily settled and
without setting up a prodigious snorting and
fussing. If Mr.. Fogarty won't resign under fire
and no man will if he can help it-and won't call
state central committee meeting, it only requires
q few committeeman to take that prerogative out
of his hands. A meeting is imperative however
it may be brought about for the good of the party
in this state and it should not be delayed.
And in the meantime if the Seattle postmaster
is a good Democrat, he won't carry any more let
tiers from Mr.. Trenholme to the president.

And yet this is all simple habit of mind The difference

TEA DOWN, AND
COFFEE UP

Some rather surprising statistics
were published the other day, to the
effect that the consumption OF tea
has decreased in this country II per
cent, while that of coffee has gone
w 81 per cent during recent pc
Rod.
One would think the Americans
were drinking mere tea. In the
drawing rooms of the Smart Set, at
Country Clubs, church functions. and
all society events, there is flutter
of feminity about the pervasive tea
urn. More or less of the male per-
suasion are drawn into the current
and drink pale nippers from Colong
sharpened by pungent slices of bity
lemon.
But one questions whether you see
as much actual tea drinking at the
aroma of good form that attaches to
the after dinner coffee. The lady
with hair streaked with grey may
boldly call for her tea as of yore.
But Is 1t sufficiently smart" to salts.
fy those incomprehensible DEGREES Of
table, fashions that prevail among
the young set?
Meanwhile the reign Of the coffee
pot stands, based on satisfactions
more tangible than the styles and
manners OF formal feeding. To the
working man the tang Of the coffee
cup puts zest into life again. The
hash may be pale grey instead Of q
golden brown. the mullins may have
a specific gravity far beyond what
would be normal for their size.
But IL the coffee has the true tang
OF the tropics, it puts life into his
veins again. He breaks the moody
silence of his prematurely early start
life looks CHEEKY again. He grabs
the dinner pail and starts with a
round pace for the shop or the field
All hail to the coffee cup, and may
the working man always be able to
afford its hearty summons to life
and labor.

TIMBER RESOURCES OF
NATIONAL FORESTS

In his annual report for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1915, just Is
sued, the Secretary of Agriculture de-
votes considerable space To the tim
Der resources of the National For
ests. He makes it very plain that
the Resources Of the forests are be-
ing utilized to build up the coun.
try"
The Secretary says that the for
ests furnish the timber required by
settlers, communities, and industries
within and near their borders. This
is obtained without charge by set
tiers. prospectors, and other local
residents for personal use; at cost
by settlers and farmers generally for
domestic purposes; and at market
value by individuals or corporations
desiring to purchase It. During the
last IL years the number of per-
mits for free timber to settlers has
been multiplied 10 times and the
number of sales q times. The
amount cut annually by settlers un.
der these permits is more than four
times what It was in 1905, while that
under commercial sales has increas.
ed eightfold. Probably not less
than $4,000 persons or corporations
obtained timber directly from the ma.
tional forests"
The Secretary further states that
more than half of the timber now
cut annually is used In the vicinity
OF the forests. This includes all
that taken free and under sales at
| cost, and approximately 40 per cent
OF the commercial cut. Hundreds Of
mining districts throughout the West.
from small projects requiring an oc-
casional wagon load of props or lag
| ging TO the great copper district OF
central Montana, which consumes
about $4,000 pieces of mining timber
annually, are supplied. Railroads also
are furnished large part of the ties
and other material required for their
lines in the rocky mountain regions.
A million and half ties are now
cut from the forests yearly"
In conclusion the Secretary points
out that the national forests also
meet the demands of the general
lumber market. More than 100000
900 feet are cut annually for the ma
ton wide trade. Since 1908 there
have been taken from them 100000.
900 board feet of wood and timber

The Farm Kitchen

"The men of the world build
houses, but the women make the
home" The words Of the old poem
I had heard in my childhood kept
running through my mind as | watch
ed busy frontier woman trying to
cook q dinner In a man made house.
The kitchen, a small room attach
ed to the main part Of the house,
could have been pleasant room II
the builder had given careful thought
to the comfort and convenience of
the home maker who was to spend
many hours each day working in 1t,
but the house had been built to suit
the convenience Of the builder-pot
the home maker.
Little thought had been given to
the ventilation or light. The only
window was small and placed at one
end OF the kitchen. Even in the day
time the woman found it necessary
to light candle to see the cake in
the oven. The bread she must lift
from the oven and carry to the win
dow for inspection. Dark green
paint on walls and ceiling absorbed
some light and gave the room a
dreary, dingy look. The ceiling was
low, and no means Of escape for cd.
ors and steam had been provided.
The ventilation was poor and when
the room became too warm the door
had to be opened and draft was
unavoidable. The kitchen step had
three high steps over which had to
be carried all water that was used in
the house. The well was twenty
| seven feet from the house and was
| supplied with pump that required
u great expenditure of strength. The
cellar could be approached only by
an outside entrance or through the
dining room and the bed room and
down dark, narrow stairs.
The woman who has been doing
the work in this kitchen for ten
years has walked many unnecessary
miles and has spent months, II not
years, In wasted steps. Much OF the
woman's strength could have been
saved by putting two more windows
into the kitchen, by changing the
cellar door and stairway and by sup
plying the kitchen with running wa.
ter. sink, and drain. The walls
could have been painted with some
light colored paint that would hav e
added cheer and neatness to the
room. The changes needed we're
simple and could have been made
