A though we may not classify all

v. truthfully say that a
\ ty lirm !i..i;il of uuion exists be-
Uvivn many «;f its patrons ar.J the
pap r. a* is .shown by the eagerness
Willi which its weekly visits is greft
t dat. Mh. many expressions of eor
•i:.l ap!»ro v al it has received or. all
sides and irom far near. The
iarger proportion of these come from
women subscribers, or the ' better
-1 i : f 'of the male patron, and were
th<- editor net very level-bead«-d, he
would long ago have been overcome
with egotism and vanity.
As reference in detail will proba*
bly be made to the history of the pa
per on Saturday's banquet, which
will, of course, l»e published, we omit
a general review here. Suffice it to
say that the STANDARD has enacted
an important part in the early his
tory of the State, county and munic
ipality, as well as the part of patriot
ism in the stirring incidents of na
tional strife uud tribulation.
Trie STANDARD, we are pleased to
note, receives full recognition and
credit from its contemporaries for
being a fair, consistent and out
spoken exponent of its party creed.
It has been such without fear or fa
vor, and has never demanded pay for
any party services. In this it has
done better than it has been done
by; many a time it has carried a
weary party load, of persons who
were partisan by name only, or only
when the band-wagon was on pa
rade, without any award of the small
pickings of patronage that came
their way.
Let it be understood, therefore, if
after a much-needed rest, the editor
again engages in editorial work on
this or any ether paper, that he will
be independent enough to claim and
insist upon his just dues; that the
jug-handled-game has been supersed
ed by a policy taught by experience;
that the. legitimate profits of party
patronage will be a fair exchange for
party effort and the zealous defence of
party principle.
As intimated, the retirement is
only partial and oonditionary. The
STANDARD may pass under different
control, when, of course, it may
adopt a different policy. It will be
continued for a few weeks, to fill out
the time tif certain legal advertise
ments that require specific number of
publications to meet the requirements
of law, but unless negotiations now
under way are then completed, it
will take a resting-spell, with its
projector till such time as it may be
deemed expedient to revive it udder
favorable auspices.
Retrospection.
As showing the crudities of our
early attempt in editing the STAND
ARD we quote the introductory para
graph of the leading editorial of the
first number, published Nov. 17,
1860, headed "Ourself." which is, of
itself, an indication of the personal
ity of the 20-year youth who was es
saying man'* work, at an early age.
Just note with what redundance we
swing the ponderous pronoun " We"!
Everything was larger in these days.
Mt. Rainier higher, the Sound grand
er, the trees higher, and "Ourself"
the biggest" toad fa the puddle,"
until we had the conceit torn off by
constant hard knocks with the world.
Here is the patagraph:
We entempon the tssk of editing and
conducting a newspaper with many mis
giving as to the future. We know the
difficulties and discouragements which
must beset our path—we know the strag
gles we shall have to encounter. We ap
preciate the (act that we have voluntari
ly placed ourself in a position to invite
criticism and discussion as to our com
petency to perform the duties we hsve
assumed. But fully impressed with a
sense of the tesponsibiUty, and doubting
much whether wo will creditably sustain
ourself and our enterprise, and secure
the commendation of our kind friends
and patrons, we promise to do our very
best, and throw ourself upon the indul
gence of our readers, determined to suc
ceed if in oar power, and under any and
all circustances to merit it by manly ef
fort.
It will be readily noted that quite
a different form of expression is now
used in this paper. While it is
proper that the individuality of a
writer may enter into bis style of ad
dress, personality should be avoided.
The nearest way to approach a con
ciso style is to constantly bear in
mind that it is the paper that has
the platform and is speaking, not the
writer; when one can accustom him
self to lose sight of self, half the task
is overcome for clearness and terse
ness of expression. One oan always
draw a moral from David Copper
field's self-consciousness, while carry
ing a predominant ego in early life.
He was constantly apprehensive of
criticism; his bands in the way; his
clothes ill-fitting, and the bells
chimed continually " He-is-very
young," and the waves or the
strand and the turmoil of the street,
continually reiterated the assurance
of his youth.
A "new" editor, or rather inexpe
rienced —for some writers aro slow to
learn—may always be known by his
Belf-consciousne&s, and more by mis
use of the personal pronoun and its
variations —we, our and us—than any
other peculiarity. Misuse, because
of its unnecessity; it being facts that
should be stated instead of an invol
untarily parade of self.
Equnl Suffrage Amendment.
| The question is broached in many
I quarters regarding the time of the
taking effect of recent constitutional
amendment onferring the right of
franchise on women in the State
of Washington. This amendment
which was adopted by such a flut
tering vote at the general election
on the Bth inst. defines th • qualifica
tions of voters, but do»*s not provide
! the manner of canvassing the bal
lots and proclaiming the result. It
is repnrted our Governor has de
clared this amendment as self-acting
and does not require aDV legislative
enactment to give it force and ef
fkacy: that therefore after the votes
sn.ill have been canvassed by the!
County Auditors and returns made,
to the Secretary of State, and when j
tabulated show the mojority in favor
of the amendment, the Governor will
thereupon issue his proclamation
announcing the result, which will
give the women the same right to
vote at the elections that is conferred
upon men. This amendment found
in Chapter 18 of Laws 1909, contains
a provision defining the manner of
ascertaining "the qualifications of
voters," implying the Legislature
must first act before the amendment
shall become effective. The STAND*
A&D'S position in this respect may
rest on debatable ground, but cer
tainly there is no warrant in the on
stitution giving the Governor the
power of determining the result, else
suppose if he felt disposed, he might
declare the law to have been defeat
ed. It is safer to leave the matter
for the Legislature to adjust. The
time of the next session is near at
hand . which will declare the result
and enact laws recognizing the force
of the new amendment. Then again
the Legislature has general authority,
unless there is some constitutional
inhibition, and there being none, the
sane and proper way is to let the
matter rest until the Legislature
shall convene.
The readiness of the executive to
issue a proclamation is as notable as
his reticence when the matter was up
for discussion, showing that he is
ever ready to seize upon a plank
when he finds one afloat.
TROCBLZ BBKWINQ.— At St Louis
this week, the American Federation
of Labor is holding an important
session of world-wide significance.
Samuel Gompers is the presiding of
ficer. Heretofore he has been able
to prevent his organization from
adopting socialistic propaganda.
Now comes Victor L. Berger, the
newly elected Socialist Congressman
from Wisconsin, and renews the
fight which promises to be a battle
royal. If Gompers shall finally suc
ceed in downing Berger and his co
horts the contest is liable to be
fraught with acrimony and bitter
ness. But Berger does not propose
to stop at this point. He will en
deavor to persuade the delegates as
sembled representing the craft
unions that in order to succeed
against the manipulations of the
commercial cases these unions must
obange the base of operations and
organise on industrial lines, similar
to the Industrial Workers of the
World, which Mil prove a great
shock toKr. Gompers and his con
servative'allies, who are not'in har
mony with the precepts and methods
of this radical and* turbulent organi
sation that fights craft unions. So
cialist organisations and everything
in sight. In fact, it is the Jacobin
movement on the industrial field.
The query is why should Berger es
pouse this sew propaganda, which
has for several years fought bis Mil
waukie methods vigorously on the
platform and in their press ?
THAKKSOIVIMO. Thanksgiving
Day will be very duly observed by
all good Democrats, as tbey have
much to give thanks for. Mr. Roose
velt's New Nationalism—the concen
tration of great power, which under
the Constitution is reserved to the
people of the several States—is buried
with its auther under an avalanche
of opposing votes. For such a sig
nal favor, supreme thanks should be
given. The standpatters have been
defeated and a people's Congress,
pledged to tariff downward, has been
given power to carry out the pledge;
for this everyone, high or low, rich
or poor, should give thanks. Honest
and patriotic Republicans have helped
us Democrats to gain a great victory
to the end that equal rights to all
and special privileges to none may
be the law of the land, and for this
both will join in giving thanks.

lurwis* of the Pension Roll.
Fl. Sumter was bombarded on April
12, 1861. On that date the National
pension Roll contained 10,709 names.
It i»as eighty-five years since the
Declaration of Independence; during
those eighty-five years three foreign
wars and countless Indian battles
had been fought, and in those eighty
five years the Government had paid
out in i»ensions a total of $89,886,359.
General Robert E. Lee surrendered
at Appomattox Courthouse April 9,
1863. On June 30, of that year, the
pension list contained 83,986 names.
The wounded and the widows of the
dead had not yet, of course, all had
time to tile their claims. A year
later there were on the pension rolls
the names of 126.722 men and women,
among whom 113,450,550 was that
year distributed.
On June 30, 1909, (the last fiscal
year for which exact figures are ob
tainable), forty-four years after Lee's
surrender, there were on the pension
rolls the names of 946,194 persons,
among whoiu $161,973,704 was that
year distributed. During last fiscal
year, ending June 30,1910, the roll
bore probably 940,000 names, and the
amount distributed was probably
$155,000,000. The people of the
United States are to-day paying in
pension, annually, to men and wo
men presumed to * have suffered
through a war fought out and fin
ished forty-five years ago, a sum ten
times as great as that paid out in
the year immediately following the
war.
The people of the United States
are paying out in pension every six
months more than enough to have
paid the whole pension bill of the
War of Independence. We have late
ly added a revolutionary pensioner to
the roll; we are still paying 400 pen
sions on account of the war of 18!2,
900 pensioners for the Mexican War,
4,500 pensions for Indian wars; but
to the beneficiaries from the Civil
War alone we have paid the enormous
total of $3,686,461,840—f0rty times
as much as has been paid pensioners
of all previous wars combined.
It was at the close of the war of the
States that there began the rolling
up of the pension snowball, which
has reached proportions not dreamed
of at first, which has gathered to itself
elements totally different from those
which first entered into it, and which
threatens to roll on a growing burden
and danger.
No patriotic American begrudges
the disabled soldiers or his widow a
penny of all that the Government
may give them to repay them for their
sacrifice. Care of those who have
sacrificed for the common good U one
of the traits which distinguish civil
ization from barbarism. The form
of social sacrifice most easily rec*
ognized is that of the soldier who
fights with arm* for hli country.
Whatever, may be thought of pen
sion for civil servants, or for working
men, or for mothers, inventors or
scientists (who, it may be argued,
have fought tor the common good as
truly as have officers and soldiers of
a military forees), no one denies or
wishes to deny {he military veteran
the comforts which a grateful nation
can give in his disability or bis old
age.
A Pioneer's Congratulation.
Amoug the Pioneers of Washing

Elisabeth Mackintosh—is still with
us, residing in Seattle. -Her marked
intellectual ability and exceedingly
fine character have made their im
press on Western Washington. She
has the distinction of having been an
officer of the Legislature of Washing
ton during the session of 1869 and of
being the frit woman, in ' the kittory of
the world, to serve a* am nficer of a
legislative: body, and in her doing so
received the cordial approbation of
all the members. She being a very
able and earnest advocate of "equal
suffrage." wrote to h?r long-time
friend. P..D. Mqore of this city, the
following highly priied Jetter of con
gratulation on the victory achieved
at the recent election. Mr. Moore
has the honor of having delivered, in
1862, the first address in defence of
Equal Suffrage, made in this com
monwealth.

MT DIM Ma. Meoas:
Convalescing somewhat from the

gratulate you Bpon at least seeing the
results of your •' long and persistent
championship of the cause of justice
and equal rights. Through evil report
and good report yon have stood nobly
for the right, and on my own behalf, as
j well as that of all good women, I thank
you from the bottom of my heart for
what yoa have done for the cause of
eqaal suffrage. You deserve a crown of
glory here and hereafter, with harps
thrown in. I csn hardly realise that
Eaoal Suffrage In. Washington is an es
tablished fact. It s'eym# too good to be

—The power plant at Electron.

the Treasurer of Pierce county lor
$188,107.74 delinquent taxes, and the
employees of the company, acting
under orders from headquarters, bar
ricaded the room where the switch
board was located, which has pre
vented the deputies from shutting off

SEATTLE is talking of erecting a 42

"Yankee Mood" Near Extinction.
That is what Prof. A. B. Hart, of
Harvard college, an authority on nu
merous subjects concerning sociolog
ical conditions, says. He arrives at
this conclusion from comparison of
the numerous class histories of that
institution and facts gleaned from
the U. S. censuses. He finds that
Yankee blood, or pur 6 English stock
as he prefers to call it, is rapidly dy
ing out and that the normal increase
of population from the birth rate is
falling off. He cites the class of
1871. with ten of the eleven members
married and the fathers of 71 child
ren. The class of 1880, his own, had
170 graduates, and there are not as
many as 170 children of that number
of graduates. He uses these classes
for illustration not because they are
university people, but because these
grades are representative men of the
ordinary community.
The professor attributes this evi
dent race suicide to high prices for
subsistence and exaggerated social
conditions, departing from the simple
life of our forefathers, that is becom
ing gradually eliminated from our
social methods of living. The love
element seems to be a secondary con
dition when it is closely aligned with
high prices of food and wearing ap
parel, as well as every necessity that
conduces to ease and comfort. Men
and women marry late, or do not
marry at all, or adopt questionable
means of limiting offspring, so that
the Yankee element have less than
one-fifth as many children as when
the country was first settled. In
creased immigration, mostly of large
families may somewhat disturb the
ratio, but the costs of living and pro
viding a higher education that is
now deemed more essential, are the
elements most at fault in fortigniting
American citizenship. But then,
Prof. Hart notes that inasmuch as
these families became Americanized
they adopt the prevailing habit and
cease to bring forth their usual num
ber of descendants, making the final
result still more difficult to predict.

TBB POLK.—One of the most absurd
ly amusing sights possible, is to see
somebody diligently patting himself
on the back for some commonplace
K;t which be construes as a mark of
special merit. It is now the Perkins
pre*s that is constantly fumbling its
funny-bone for having refrained from
abuse of its political opponents dur
ing the late campaign, claiming not
only credit for the act but the result
as well, by this course. If the pole
cat method is thus frankly admitted
to have been so ineffective, it had
probably better bear in mind that
like the old army musket, the kick
was more to be dreaded for actual
results than the ounce ball.
