NOTABLE TRIBUTE TO f. J.
WILMER.


WILMER.
The election as state senator of +.
j. Wilmer of Rosalia, Whitman county,
was a notable tribute to that sterling
citizen. Running as "sticker' candi-
date against republican and democratic
nominees, Mr. Wilmer received 222
votes in his home town, as against
seven for the opposing candidates, and
the adjoining country precinct gave
him 80 of its 81 votes.
This remarkable expression of local
confidence and support, given to a
banker, who of necessity and duty
must refuse some applications for
loans, proves that the people do APP
preciate upright dealings and faith
full service of the character which Mr.
Wilmer so often has rendered his com
munity, his state and his country.
The tribute is all the more pleasing
because it came from neighbors
among whom Mr. Wilmer had dwelt
for many -Spokesman-Revi

A strong effort is being made in
congress to place Liberty and Victory
bonds at par. Most of the bonds have
been grabbed" by men or corpor-
ations of wealth, at from So to 95
cents on the dollar and congress will
probably make some arrangements to
raise them to par so that the wealthy
people may increase their profits from
the purchase of these bonds from the
labOrers and others who bought them
at 100 cents on the dollar and sold
them for discount of from five to Is
cents. AS few of these bonds are now
held by people of small or moderate
means the average man does not care
to see them go to par, but the rich I
must be protected at all hazards

Last week the department of Justice n
started an investigation into the
causes for the high prices charged
for lumber and announced that it will
prosecute violators Of the Sherman
antitrust laws in building material.
following this announce
ment that the investigation had start
ed, there appeared in the newspapers
Of the country announcements from
lumber companies that the prices of
lumber have been reduced. 1t looks
like another case of the coon who.
when freed, called to the man below
him with a gun: Don't shoot. lIl
.ome down."
