THE CITY ELECTION

The city election is over, the people have dccrccd as to who shall man the municipal ship during the coming year, everything is lovely and the goose hangs high.
 While, previous to the election it was said of some who were chosen to serve on the council that, if elected, the "lid' would be taken off and the town would be run wide open yet none of them so declared openly and it is doubtful if any of them ever entertained such intentions. If such thoughts were hmborcd, they will come to the surface soon and when they do there will be ample time for their discussion.
 So far as this paper is concerned, it will give the new council all the support it can command so long as it feels that the inter- csts of the city of Douglas are being safe guarded, but amy attempt to put anything over that will in any way reflect on the good name of Douglas will be duly and promptly exposed. Al the same time, however, we wish Co assure the new council that we much prefer throwing boquctS to bricks.

AS TO THE EDITOR

Am editor is the most awkwardly placed individual in thc whole field of human ac- ivity. It is as impossible for him to please people as it is .or him to be always pleas ing. He deals constantly with peoples hap- puoss, peoples ambitions, peoples inter- cs.s. peoples friends. In the course ar a". s,. ..u u reads on the toes Q aoe w..ga. sa 'asgs vdIng to fIH..
 By acts of omission or bv acts rome mission lc s constantly and certainly scp- aratjug himself from those whom he would esteem and would have esteem him. He is blamed for things he does and for things hc declines to do He is forever a storm center m1 is hated by persons he never knew and bypcrsous who have never known him. Ic is disljkcd by some who never saw bm; by some who delight in cudgcmg him because they see others doing so.
 What is odd to most persons is the fact that thc average editor does not care whc- rhcr his enemies are few or legion. As a rule he knows why he has them. There is always a reason. It may be the olitor's fault and it may be not.
 Occasionally am editor has mo enemies worth trcasming, but such a one has neither vcIl-wishcrs nor friends. He, therefore, is not doing much as am editor.
 An editors enemies are generally of four classes; Crooked politicians, religious hypocritcs and bigots, confirmed lawbrcak- ,rs, OF mqucstionmg and sycophantic fol- lowers of either of these classes Such as these get mcnviablc publicity. But that publicity, nucty-nmc times in one hundred, is given as socicty's safeguard Were it not forpublicity being given to mis- doing there would be no law but that of the yigilmtc or the despot.
 The greatest safeguard society has is the newspaper that understands its fmc- tious and performs them without fear. The evil it does either wilfully or mwittmgIy, are as records written on the sands com pared with the evils that would be done if the newspaper were cffaced. And the ser- vice it renders is the cheapest thing of val ne with which community can be pos ScSscd
 The principal differences between the newspaper editor and the public center is the difference in perspective The one looks at larger object and sees more of the gen cral detail The vision of the other is very often prescribed, except as to the particular matter of which he is the source, or near the source, of information.
 The editors status is awkward because it is not understood And what is mfortm- ate for him is that he cannot change it and keep in the game.-Bellingham, Wash, American Rcvcille.

Negotiations Fail Of Results-J. L..

Negotiations between the various
parties to the controversy which re-
suited recently in throwing the Olym-

yard) into the hands of receiver,
have so far failed to bring about re-
sumption of operations at the plant.
The yard. closed down as the re-
suit of a wage disagreement with the
former receiver, G. c. Mcdowell, the
fore part of last week, has been idle
all week and many of the employees
have left town. J. l.. Peters. the
local real estate man, is now receiver
for the concern. having been appoint
ed in McDowell's place last Saturday.

ceivership proceedings.

When I am asked why q farmer
should buy Liberty Bonds I wonder
what I should say. 1t Is so clear
that the farmer Of all persons should
make himself the greatest buying
class in the world.
II all the other classes in the
United States should lie down and
refuse to buy, the farmers should
rally to the flag and buy, buy. buy
these bonds as long as they had a
cent to invest.
Finest Kind Of Investment.
do not wish to appeal TO farmers
to buy bonds because they are good
investments. They are goO / invest
ments as any good business man can
see. They are safety itself. Moth
ing can ever throw doubt or them as
investments.
Many farmers are holding lands
which do not pay them more than 2
to 3 per cent after the rents are col
lected, the repairs kept up, insurance
paid, and taxes settled. II all the
actual and retired farmers in the
United States would put in Liberty
l'onds the money they couil get for
lands which pay them less than the
Liberty Bonds will pay, thew alone
could buy all the bonds to ~ issued.
Liberty Bonds pay 4 per cent.
They are the best security for loans
at the banks when the owner wants
loan. They are cheaper to carry
than the land. A man may buy Lib
erty Bonds and forget about them
except to collect the interest every
six months.
Value at Stake in War.
But that Is not the main reason
why We should buy, and buy, and
keep on buying as long as any are
offered. The farmer should buy Lib
erty Bonds because the value of his
farm, the chance to make peaceful
American living, the very right to an
Independent life. are staked on this
war.

.OLYMP|A.TACOMA ROAD
TO Be- OPENED SATURDAY
Travel to Be Resumed on Pacific
Highway, Paved This
Summer.

The Pacific highway between Olym-
pia and Tacoma, closed in sections
this summer in both Thurston and
Pierce counties to permit of new
paving, will be opened clear through
to Tacoma Saturday, State Highway
Commissioner James Allen announced
Thursday.
The news was welcome to all who
have to use the highway and have
been compelled to go via detours this
summer, which made travel between
the two cities unpleasant and difficult.
The only section of the pavement not
completed is that on the new road
near Lacey eliminating the grade
crossings, and until that is opened
about the 1st of December travellers
will use the old road crossing the
railroad tracks and passing through
Lacey.
For the present the old bridge at
Nisqually will be used, Commissioner
Allen announcing that the new con-
crete structure, though nearly COM
pleted, will not be ready for use until
some time in December, the lapse of
a month being necessary to permit 1t
to season" properly.
When this years work is COM
pieted, the highway will be paved
through to Tacoma except for three
mile stretch in the Kyro-Sherlock
vicinity.
