Thanks to Postmaster General Hitch cock penny postnge begins to look like a near-fact instead <>f a remote possibility. A dealer in one of th*» large cities ar rested for selling milk 37 per cent water pleads that it was bin Brat offense. As a hardened f Bender he would doubtless have eliminnted the cow altogether in about ten days The Gnzrftte is indebted to the pub licity cooimitfcee of the Seattle Carnival association for a special invitation and privilege at the (JolJen I'otlatch in that city to be he'd during the week of July 17 22. The program of entertainment for the week is Full and interesting. The importance, of pure water for stock is touched on by the July Farm Journal in these words: "The mi-Jsum mer often brings much suff-ring to stock because the water supply fails or becomes low. Tains should be taken to provide an ample supply of pure water, not only because it is humane so to do, but for the more seltinb reason that the animals wiil thrive and produce much better," The importance of teaching aericul ture in the schools of the cities is receiv ing widespread attention. Toppeuish voters have just authorized a bond issue to purchase ten acres for experimental grounds and a farm in connection with the school. Superintendent Bush, of Ydkima, is working to establish con Bolidated schools and the plan of build ing teachers' cottages, so as to make them permanent residents of the com muuity, iustead of migratory individ Dais, ia growing in favor. Valla Walla county has made considerable progress in this direction The get-together sinrit in the cities of Washington is one of the most . ncour- Rging things of recent developments When strife an contention is dropped prosperity finds an easy entrance. In Tacoma, the Chamber of Commerce and the Commercial Club have consolidated. Hoth were trying to do the same line of work, each in his own way. The rivalry divided the exploitation forces of the town, doubled the expense and did not achieve the results to which the city was entitled. Now, Seattle's commercial or ganiz\tions have a similar plan in mind Over lapping is a waste of energy but the long nteady poll with the best inter ests of the city at heart is what counts. A report from Washington, I>. ('. gays that Congressman W. E. Humphrey, the oldest member In Washington's lower bouse delegation in point of service, is growing or rather—has growri—a full beard. It's durk, too, giving him a sin ister look, so much so that Speaker Champ Clark recently referred to him as 'the member from the Northwest who looko like the pirate CrtsLro." Now it is known that Clark dislikes fringed faces. And us nmny a serious word ie epoken in jest, it is just possible that Hum phrey's luxuriance may arouse the Speaker's antagonism. Tor this reason, some of his constituents are considering an appeal that he bauiHh the offending lamberkius. as it is feared the fate of some important legislation may be jeiparded, should they become more profuse. THE SERIOUS SIDE. Crowning a king m not all pageantry. Beneath the pomp and show, the glitter and glamour of such sumptuous eeenes as attended the coronation of George V of England last week, there id a business ! of deadly seriousness. The lot of the English sovereign la very different today i from that of the king of song and story. King Edward, George's father, i* said to have been at his desk at 7 o'clock each morning and his working day was a long one in which affairs of diplomacy, affairs of court etiquette, aff tire of the army aDd navy, industrial, political, colonial and personal affairs came before him in such a mass that he was declared by those most familiar with his everyday life the hardest working man in Europe. King George must keep up the pace. He gives promise of being a great ruler and the whole world wishes him success. The presence of thousands of American sightseers and curiosity seekers in Lon don is not the extent of America's deep interest in the crowning of King George, The millions who are at home realize more fully, perhaps, the real significance lebind this magnificent display. EDITOR CLARKE RETIRES. After four years and nine months faith ful and conscientious service as editor of the Colfax (iasette Charles S. Ciarke has severed his connection with this paper. On account of hi* health he has found it i necessary to seek a change. All bis life Mr. Clarke has been in the newspaper business up and down the Pacific coast ! and wherever he has been he has made a . dost of friends who appreciate his sterl : ing qualities. This week he is visitiug I bis old home at Seattle but will return ' here in a few days and will then spend a little time with Mr. Chase on the ranch. It is the sincere wish of Mr. Clarke's many Colfax friends that he will soon re gain his former good health and enjoy many years of prosperity and happiness. Mr. Clark is succeeded by Ray \V. Walter, who comes here from Ritzville, whe;e he was editor of the Journal- Time?. Anonymous letters have been circu lated through the local pcstxffice this week attacking the position of the city council in the selection of bitulithic pav ing. The letters are signed "Your Com mittee, the Tax Payer*." Timely and honest protest to any action that may seem wrong is perfectly proper and should receive serious consideration. However, by their failure to sign their names the committee has laid itself open to criticism. On the street there are two distinct opinion?. One is that the letter is fathered by one of the paving companies who were unsuccesnful bidders. The other opinion is that the protest is honest, but poor judgment was used in keeping the identity of the writers in the dark. The paving question will doubtless receive a thorough going over July 10, the date eet for hearing pro tests. The new officials of the Spokane Jc Inland, who were in this city Sunday, failed to say anything about the new d »pot. After they get their bearings we will expect something from them. $100 Reward, $100.
