REPUBLICANS HOLD ALL STATE
OFFICES.

The election returns have nov been
returned, and it now appears that all
the republican candidates for state Of
fees have been elected. The results
are about Is follows:
Preus, governor, $4,000.
Collins, lieutenant governor, $4,000.
Holm, secretary Of state, ~, 900.
Hilton, attorney general, 10000.
Chase, state auditor, $1,000.
Rines, state treasurer, $4,000.
Bowen, railroad commissioner, H.
900.
Grace Kaercher, clerk Of supreme
court, $4,000.
Quinn, judge Of supreme court, 15.-
900.
Both constitutional amendments
seem to have been adopted.
sS KnutsOn Wins Big.
Congressman Knutson has scored a
big vitory over his two opponents. He
has about Is, 900 votes to spare. This
is one instance where the public has
shown its appreciation of good and
faithful service. Every n who has
had any business with Harold" at
Washington, knows that he is always
Johnny on the Spot" and keeps his
constituents advised of what he is do
ing. We have too many of the genus
@Wind-jammers" at Washington and in
other. places. It is fine to have one re-
tanned who is more in the class of
.sdoers,' than "promisors.' We con-
graduate Congressman Knutson on his
victory.
Election Results Elsewhere.
The election in Benton county re-

WHAT Is THE LESSON?

W. Ia 444S SS
The political upheaval caused BY the election is trenen-
do,s and one naturally looks for the cause. The main cause
;s The general unrest and dissatisfaction that is found ona'ai1
sides and in all walks Of life. When people are not satisfied,
they seek a change, hoping and trusting that It VIII &c De'te, .
+han the present conditions. They may make mistakes, and
NAV make matters worse, but they have at least had their
will.
The present administration at Washington IS weak, and
subservient to minority rule, such as Wall Street, the Anti
saloon eaone. and blocs, combinations and cliques that are
organized for the sole purpose Of shaping legislation. he
conner uch organizations are outlawed, lobbying forbidden,
and the sending Of missionaries to prospective candidates.
made a crime, the better it will be for the entire body polite.
The entire electorate. should send a representative, and not
some organized minority. 81
The highrhanded methods Of the Anti-Saloon League
have also helped in causing this revolt at the polls. When
# was reported that Volstead was defeated, there was general
rejoicing turnout the state and even in other states. he
was the representative Of Wayne B. Wheeler, the dry Gar,
and his time was spent m carrying out his commands. he
people have discovered his per1dy, and cast him aside as
unworthy.
The tactics Of many organizations in trying to influence
legislation is also disgusting. q representative IS Pestered Pc
fore and after election with questionnaires, letters, kilograms,
and committees, until all Of his time is taken up either trying
to dodge those things, or else attending to them. tie was
elected to represent all the people, but he gets very little
chance to think Of that. And the worst Of it is that some OF
the emmisaries of such organizations resort to any methods,
~OO
no matter how reprehensible, to get results. threats and
attempts at bribery are openly employed, and even worse
things are done to frame a legislator, and then use him tor
tool.
Lobbying should be forbidden. The right OF petition, OF
course. is one Of the constitutional rights Of the people, but
it must be exercised properly. Harassing, threatening, OF try
ing to bride our representatives are not proper wayslo d
exercising the right.
We hope that the incoming congress, and the state legs
lature. will show an Improvement in that it will be less week
kneed and prone to listen to the voice OF the cilques ana ma
leagues.
One Of the first things to do IS to pass q national refer
endum bill, so that never again can q minority enslave the
people. And the next is to put curbs on the methods of
influencing legislation. Give the lawmakers an honest honest
chance to exercise their best judgment in the passage Of
laws. Not before that is done will we shave real representa-
tive government.
The defeat Of Peter N. Lahr for commissioner IS to be
regretted, as he was q very competent and faltnful onnclal.
He was untiring IN his attention to the construction OF the
ne,vc court house. and deserves the thanks Of the community

Rather curious news from Vienna is
that Czechoslovakia will lend Austria
half a billion of Czech crowns. How
much these are worth we do not know,
but they can't be as much deprecated
AZ Austrian crowns. The singular
thing about this transaction il that
Czechoslovakia, is one of the new ma
lions carved from the dual monarchy !;
or perhaps it would be nearer the
truth to say that it il one Of the
fragments into which the dual mon
archy broke when it fell. One wo11a
suppose Austria, a going concern, even
If greatly reduced, would be in a bet
ter position to lend to one Of the new
states than the reverse But Austria
seems to have been sinking deeper
and deeper into the slough, outdoing
Germany in the issue of irredeemable
paper money; and while the Austrian
consul general in New York brings
back from his own country news Of
Improvement, the economic situation in
still very serious.

From the time we rise until the
day is done, we maintain an intimate
association either with coal itself or
one Of its by-products. The leaven-
ing agent in our bread and the gas we
bake it with are from coal; so are the
agents that tan our shoes, and that
vulcaniZe the rubber of eur automo-
bile tires. We are indebted to coal for
the various forms Of ammonia that go
into fertilizing, electric batteries and
household uses; for aspirin, salicylic
acid and many other cures for CON-
mon colds; for elements used in man
ufacturing, insulating, coatings, pho
nograph records and pipe stems; for
benzol, the best available fuel for au-
tomobiles and Observation-Disclosures en-
gines; for food preservatives, moth
balls and disinfectants. While coal
furnishes US picric acid, and trinitro-
toluol, it also carries locked in itself
oil Of wintergreen and the most deli
cate flavoring extracts and perfumes.

sPARE-TlME SCHOOLS

II many working people have the
taste and time for study-and If
stinted education causes social unrest
then the spare-time school ought to
be popular. The place for these
schools might be the street, like those
in old Athens, or in the halls which
once held our night schools and old
time debating clubs. The university
extension already embodies the germ
of the idea, which, with increased mo-
mentum, could become fruitful tree
OF knowledge for adults who yearn to
know life before they leave it:/Spare-
time schools would stimulate our in
dustry of producing self-made men
and women, says Leslie's Weekly.
Such schools, with films, lectures
books, the press and church. could
take subject like labor and capital,
or peace and war, and reduce it from
the complex to the simple-bringing it
close to every student-even concen-
trate upon it the public mind-and in
thus making a great proposition easy
to understand, would enlarge the
faculties of all of US for the practical
purposes of the nation.

Thomas A. Edison has become such
an American institution that it is diff
cult to recall the time when he Was
not inventing things and revolutioniz-
ing modern life by his remarkable dis
coveries. 1t must be over 40 years
ago that his name became almost a
household word, and in all the inter-
vening period the luster of his fame
has kept growing until now it is as
we'll known in every quarter Of the
world as in his native land And yet
he Is only seventy-five years old. Long
may he live to continue his beneticent
labors in Harvesting the electric cur
rent for the benefit Of man! He is
distinctly a man Of genius, Of whom
few appear from time to time. His
millions Of well-wishers will be glad
to see him spared for at least 20 years
more.

Those persons who delight in delv-
ing for the cause Of things are now
turning their attention to why the
young men Of America have become
SO much more "dressy" than they used
to be. A writer who claims to have
studied the subject carefully says they
undoubtedly are; declares the pocket
mirror and the lipstick are now the
constant companions of many men and
predicts it is but a question of a short
time till men will again wear ruffles
and laces and costly fur collars. The
war is said to be to blame for these
affairs, the young men having become
so vain and so accustomed to adnira-
ton while in uniform that they do
not relish returning to the sedate
clothing they once wore.

It is explained that the mute who
asked for divorce because Of what
his wife said to him in the sign man.
ual was not unreasonable, as things
can be said that way that person
wouldn't dare say out loud. Still, the
average man who can hear wouldn't
care anything about what she said by
sign. For instance, instead of calling
him piece Of cheese" she would
bring him a piece Of it and tell him
he was like it, the chances are he
would call for a slice of bread, and
then proceed to eat it.

1t will be possible, according to
Washington authorities, to preserve
the historic battleship Oregon as a
floating memorial, when the scrapping
provisions Of the naval treaty are put
into effect. In order to do this, the
guns will have to be made ineffective
and certain other changes will be nee
essary. Perhaps the old hulk with its
teeth drawn will prehgure that day
when battleship will be a quaint
anachronism, a strange curiosity in

gather to wonder and comment on an
age that made them possible.
