Published daily hy The M4 Publish! ut of ily, 8® Cente per month Up co win Mm It’s kind of the new Chamber of Commerce to ask the county to its poor farm property to manufacturers who are seoking in vain cheap factory sites in Seattle Very kind. Because members of the chamber themselves are holding Ike grim @enth to all the land they can gobble at the top market price, the county (the taxpayers) are asked to give something away, so that Manufacturers may be encouraged. In the moantime, of course, the chamber will boost the price of Jand sites all it can, The county commissi farm to the chamber “at a nominal figure,” and the chamber will sell it at a nominal figure to manufacturers who need cheap fac- tory sites. T county commissioners have no right. to sell the people's prop erty at a “nominal figure.” Cheap factory sitea are needed. Manufacturers ought to be en- couraged. But let some of the big fellows come down a pog or two on the price of their own holdings—don't ask the poor taxpayer to make the sacrifice, Maybe the single tax would correct this situation by making some of the big land gpeculators either use their land or let some one else use it. Pressure on a Standpat Governor In the state of Washington the majority of the voters are pro ves and very earnestly for La Follette; the governor, M. EB. Hay, andpatter and Taft man. The progressives want Gov. Hay to eall a special session of the legislature, so that they can get the prest dential primary and so express themselves at the polls. The gov- ‘ernor says he will not call the special session, and puts his refusal on the ground of public expense. All the Taft papers and Taft people are with Hay; on the other hand, the granges, labor organizations and women's clubs are circulating petitions demanding the special session and the primary. The Progressive Republican league of King county (Seattle) is working hard, and on Dec. 6 @ state-wide conference of ves of all parties will be held. One of the most capable judges in the state says that ft presidential primaries are held, Washington ‘will favor La Follette as against Taft by four to one, This seems to be a case of where the Taft followers are not only willing but eager to win the game by means of a stacked deck, Those persons who admire Taft most and best understand his higher qualities will be the last to believe that he would countenance what his followers tn Wash- ington are doing, and permit himself to be the beneficiary of a sup goed 9a opportunity for free chotce.—Mark Sullivan in Coll ov. 2 Thou Shalt Not Covet ‘The war program of Europe in Africa fa for each nation to ¢ whatever it can get its hands on at the mouth of the cannon.

What do Christian nations think of it? | Remember John Bright | The custom of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of great men seems to have taken firm hold, in al! English-speaking coun tries, at least. It is an inspiring thing to realize that the man who tw forgotten after a lapse of twenty to fifty years is tn every instance the man who used his life for the benefit of the public. The selfish men are not remembered when the centenary of around. England bas just honored the memory of John Bright, who fought for tree trade, for Irish freedom, for peace among the nations, and who pat his great influence at the service of Abrabam Lincoln in the dark days of the civil war.
