CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
WILSON AND DENOMINATION.

If the rank and file of his party, the people of
these United States, want him to run for the pres
idency again he will if they do not, he will not.
That is the presidents position with reference
to his denomination at the Democratic conven-
ton next June. Leaders of his party have gone
to him for formal announcement Of his candi-
dacy This he has refused, even to his friends,
and instead has pointed to the statements made
in letter written to Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer three years ago, expressing his views
today. Not for years has president taken such
a position; it is unusual, but it is nevertheless
sincerely democratic.
Wilson's denomination by the Democratic
party has generally been taken for granted. Even
with the fight his preparedness program,
fight led by William Jennings Bryan, no candi-
dates have yet appeared against him and no for
midable ones are likely to do So If Wilson will
accept the nomination, he will get it.
The point Of it all is, however, that Wilson does
not propose to use the vast patronage power Of
his Office to control the national convention and
force his nomination, whether or no, our dearly
beloved friend Roosevelt forced Taft upon the
Republican party as his successor in 1908, or as
the Republican national organization forced
Taft's denomination in 1912, causing the break in
that party. If the people want Wilson to run
again, he will; if they do not, he will not.

THE COUNTY GAME FARM.

It was with whole lot of "hurrah" and club
dub" that the county game commission estab-
lished game farm on former Auditor Burr's
property at Buffers Cove year ago, "hurrah"
about what fine investment it was for the county
"fubdub' about the money the county would
make from the sale of game birds to other coun-
ties.
But the county quit last week as the proprietor
of game farm, the commission acknowledging
the venture had been failure. Thos. M. Vance,
who was just recently appointed to the commits
sion is given the credit for this change of policy
The saw that the commission was running into
the hole" that the investment was worthless and
that there sale for the birds to other
ties. Therefore he insisted that the county "get
out from under Meanwhile the county had
spent several thousand dollars on the venture.
A good many residents of Thurston county,
perhaps most Of them, thought at the outset that
the investment was ridiculous one for the
county to make Their judgment has been con-
frmed.

Those Yelm farmers who worked five years and
spent more than hundred thousand dollars dig
ging an irrigation ditch with which they planned
to make their prairie garden spot, have bumped
into the water-power trust, now that the work is
nearly done and the money all SPENT but the law
of this land should not permit them to be treated
as the trust proposes to treat them, and we earn
estly hope they successful in their efforts to
prevent an injunction against their project. Right
and justice would seem to stand by their side.
They need the assistance and cooperation of
every person in Thurston county, for if their
project is killed, one Of the greatest undertakings
ever planned and carried out for the development
of the agricultural resources of this section will
have been crushed

NATIONAL PAY-UP WEEK.

1t is mighty easy for person to become negl
gent as to his obligations to Others particularly
when they are of financial nature. The s'let 'er
ride habit is easily acquired, and once formed
and the money spent for something else it is most
difficult to overcome. 1t is generally case of
mere negligence, for the instances where person
Intentionally abuses the credit allowed him are
rare. Most Of us want to pay our debts; some of
cannot because we haven't the money; but
most of us who do not pay them regularly do so
largely because we do not realize we are Getting
them ride''-we do it unconsciOusly, unthinking
ly, rarely deliberately and Intentionally.
The purpose of National Pay Up Week, which
is to be celebrated the last week in February by
the merchants of Olympia and the various towns
in Thurston county, together with others in all
parts of the United States, is principally to
awaken the community to more complete sense
of its obligations, to the need of paying its bills
more regularly. 1t is educational, in other words
designed to break the habit of negligence in those
who unthinkingly have acquired it. The man
who pays his bills every week or every month is
not being ''called up on the carpet 1t s the
fellow who forgets and ''lets 'em ride for two
or three or six months, or maybe longer who will
be in demand during that week

WHAT HAPPENED IN OLYMPIA AND

From The Washington Standard for
January 80, 1901. Vol. XXI.
No. 10.
Oregon is very we'll represented in
Washington's second legislature. 1t

who at one time lived or transacted
business in that state.

There has been something of SEN
sation created in realty circles by the
rumor that the Northern Pacific
would soon claim title to every odd
section in the Puyallup reservation
by virtue of it's land grant from con-
gress. The Puyallup reservation has
become, by it's proximity to Tacoma,
the most valuable reservation in the
United States and the property which
| it is alleged the railroad will lay
claim to is worth ten millions of dol
lars.
The celebrated Seattle harbor line
cases, involving over $8,00O,0O0
worth of property, were decided in
the supreme court at Seattle on the

A mine explosion in Pennsylvania
a few days ago hurled ISL human

occurred at the Mammoth mine.

Angus Mechanic was released from

When great railroad system like the Northern
Pacific selects particular district as that wherein
it will inaugurate the first series of statewide
campaign for More and Better Livestock, - that
district is given a recognition which should not
only make it proud but at the same time should
awaken such enthusiasm among it's residents that
the meetings will be largely attended and the
campaign given flying start.
We sincerely hope that the meeting scheduled
to be held at Yelm next Monday afternoon
by dairy specialists of the Northern Pacific as
sisted by professors from the Pullman State Col
lege, will be attended by large crowd of farm
ers, and likewise the meetings in Olympia on Sat

If the public service commission while conduct
ing its inquiry into the business of the telephone
monopoly, will also investigate the practices of
the company with respect to it's desire to accom-
modate its patrons, and compel it to abandon it's
present arbitrary, high-handed and ''go-to--
if-youdon 't-like-it| attitude, it will be doing a
favor to the people of this state. No concern
earth to care less for the convenience of it's
customers than this one no concern refuses to ac-
commodate them, to be courteous to them to treat
them as customer instead of as an evil that can
not be avoided, as does this telephone trust. It
will not be decent of it's own accord apparently !;
if there is any way of compelling it to do so, it
certainly should be done.
