Saturday night. The voice of the fervid
OrotOr will echo throughout the land,
there will be mighty clashing of GYM
balls, and clouting of drums, with the
burning of red fire and waving of ban
ners. There will be indulgence in char
ges and counter charges, half truths
and bald lies, and the candidate who
escapes pen and ink and oratoricai
crucifixion will be only the candidate
who his opponents do not consider has
a show in the race. Funny people, we
are, to be wrought up to the highest
pitch of excitement every four years
over the candidacy of this man or thar,
working ourselves into frenzy over
politics. and then calmly subsiding
after the people have registered their
verdict at the polls, temporarily elated
If on the winning side, or making rye
faces over the dish of crow il among
the losers. But it says much for the
stability of the republic and the level
headed sanity of the people that when
all is over the various factions accent
the verdict, quietly return to their
daily vocations while the government
| continues to live and prosper under
one of the greatest and most liberal
constitutions that the human mind has
ever formulated.

President Wilson, Gov. Cox and the
democratic party have insisted upon
making the league of nations the para.
mount issue Of the campaign. All othe.
questions have been ignored by the
democratic spellbinders in an effort
to draw attention from the errors of
omission and commission of the demo-
cussion upon the league. On the one
hand, the democrats insist upon the ac-
ceptance of the league of nations as it
was formulated by President Wilson
without the interests of this country
being safeguarded, While the republi-
can party, desiring some international
parliament, or league. or covenant that
will make for world peace, Is insistent
that American interests will be so pro-
tected that no European country can
use this nation as a cats paw to pull
its chestnuts out of the fire. This one
issue has wroguht numerous changes
in political alignments. There are few,
very few, republicans who have gone
over to Cox, because they support the
league of nations that President Will
son fathered, while there are multi
tude of democrats who have come out
for Harding because they do rot be-
lieve in America surrendering outright
to foreign powers. The democrats, I'M
der Wilson's leadership, have forced
the league of nations to thee front as
the main issue and the people will en-
press their preference at the polls on
the End of November And they are go.
ing to register heavy protest against
that measure in its original form.

Reports filter in from commercial
and Industrial centers that prices IN
many commodities are gradually CON-
ing down, but so gradually that SO faf
no change is perceptable when one
purchases either the necessities or
luxuries of life. Still, cuts have taken
place, and in the course OF time the
general public will feel the effects OF
those cuts. This shrinkage in values
may be the beginning OF the end Of
the high cost Of living, or at least
shaving down the high cost of living
until the Job of earning living does
not become so much OF hardship as
it has been. There is long way to go
however, before prices reach the pre-
war basis and it can hardly be ex-
pected that the slump will come all at
once.

In another column appears an ad
vertisement backed by the Washington
State Good Roads Association, setting
forth reasons why Referendum No. l.,
known as the Carlyon bill, should be
supported at the general election. If by
reading the statements therein con-
tanned you are convinced that the bill
is good thing and should become Il
law, vote for it. Every voter has the
right to his private opinion upon any
measure that he is called upon to sup
port through the medium of the ballot
and that privilege cannot be gainsaid,
But the publisher of this paper wishes
it Distinctly understood that he Is not
influenced by advertising that may be
offered this paper. Word has gone out
that the supporters of this measure
have attempted to BUY the support of
the country publishers of the state for
this Referendum No. 1. We do not
believe there is particle of truth In
this statement, or if true. we do not
believe that a single publisher of the

fence has gone, cannot be purchased

Judge Webster for congress. 1t was

secured an appropriation of $3.50, 900

Frank Mitchell, commissioner from
election to the same office has been
covering the county during the pas,
week in the interests of his candidacy.
Mr.. Mitchell is running on the demo"
cratic ticket and he has a hard OPP
ponent to buck up against, but Mitch
is a popular old scout himself and It
is going to be battle royal who is to
represent the Bird district during the
next two years. Mr.. Mitchell has had
long experience in the office for which
he Is running, and it can be said fos
him that no man has ever held that re
spOnisble position in this county who
has worked more earnestly for the bes,
interests of all the people than Mr..
Mitchell. Mr.. Mitchell has never been
the representative of a clique or To-
cality. He is too brOadminded to play
one locality against all the other To-
calities. While he represents the 3rd
district, and keeps his eyes open to the
interests of his immediate constitu-
ency, he works just as carefully for
all other sections of the county. He
believes in economy and wherever
possible he advocates applying the
pruning knife. His record in office Is
an open book and it is on the strength
Of that record that he is asking the
suffrage Of the voters of the county
Mr.. Mitchell is most likeable old
bird personally, and that in combi-
nation with his Official record over sew
eral years, has made him a host of
friends throughout the county who
will back his candidacy at the polls on
the End of November.

There is no comparison in point or
ability and capability between Judge
Webster the republican candidate fof
congress in this district and Mr.. Flem-
ing, the democratic candidate for the
same office. Mr.. Fleming may be
very decent kind of chap but he ~
in a class so remote from Judge WeD-
ster when it comes to general FITNESS
for so important a position that he Is
entirely out of sight. Mr.. Fleming may
be q formidable candidate at this time,
not on account of any mental qualifi-
cations but because he is backed by
every discordant element taking part
in politics. Being democrat he VIII
secure the support of few democrats
who hold party above all other con-
siderations. but there are thousands
of clean, outstanding. thinking and
appreciative democrats in the district
who will support Judge Webster on
account of his answering American
ism and the brilliant record he has al
ready made in congress. II Judge
Webster is returned to~congress on
the End of November he is going to
take front rank among the members
Of that body. Already he is acknowl-
edged to be one of the brightest men,
bers of congress. a place he has won
by his marvellous ability, and a posi-
ton that Mr.. Fleming could never
reach were he sent to congress for
thousand years. If the Judge is elected
this fall he will continue to represent
the Fifth district as long as he desire-
to serve. and every term that he does
serve will still further demonstrate
his rare faculty of grasping every
question of national importance thar
comes before congress for action.

Pay no attention to scurrilous at
tacks upon a candidate a day or two
before election Men are to be found so
morally defective that they will not
hesitate at any lie or misrepresenta-
ton at the eleventh hour if they think
they can injure a candidates chances
for election and there aree moral per-
verts in almost any community who
will lend their aid in the distribution
of such dOucuments. The man who has
anything to think with will realize al
once il there were any truth in these
eleventh hour character defamatiOns
they would have been sprung early in
the campaign and the evidence made
public. Just prior to the primary cleo
ton, day before the polls opened, a
dirty, unprincipled attack was made
upon the character of Judge Webster
We call public attention to the fact
that those charges have never been re-
peated during the campaign since the
primary election, and had they been
true, were there any foundation for the
cruel and brutal charges at that time
made, does any one think for single
moment that they would not have been
repeated and spread broadcast over the
district? The silence of those assassins
Of character is stronger evidence OF
their falsity than any testimony that
could be given through public print or
public speech.

the part of hundreds of fans at the
Polo Grounds. who deluged the play

grass of the glassware. anti-Sunday
baseball workers are expected to get

the metropolis.
The first game of the double header
with the Braves was marked by a
scene of disorder seldom Ii ever be-
fore witnessed on the Polo Grounds.
The outbreak took place in the eighth
inning, when Kelly made a home run,
sending two men home ahead of him.
First came a shower of straw hats
upon the field. then someone from the
upper stand tossed a pop bottle AL
most to the diamond. This was taken
up as a signal by hundreds and the
field soon was literally covered with
BOTTLES.
The Boston players gathered about
the pitchers box to be out of danger.
and when the bottle throwing ceased
large number of reserve police
came into the grounds and were sta
toned about the upper and lower
stands.
The game was held up while the
bottles were cleared off the field, and
there was no further outbreaks.
