It is not the record for the whole month that is it'ii TATlCl we, CTO© S « "t that CJUHC so suddenly. One of the serious damages by the storm was to the new bridge being constructed on the Nesquully at the point where trie old bridge crossed 1 he river, carried away Monday, at a loss of from s2,HOft to 13,000. The new bridge built by the counties of Pierce and Thurston, and the railroad bridge a few miles above the one owned by the farmers, withstood the strain and are yet undamaged. The farmers' bridge, which was to have cost SIO,OOO. is a total loss, so far as it was built. The building will, however, probably be resumed as it is deemed a necessity by many farm ers living too far for the new county bridge. The old bridge was washed out last winter. The storm seems to have been quite general on the Sound. The big steel and wood bridge of the Oregon and Washington Rail road, near Centralia, was washeg out Monday. It was an expensive struc ture. built the past summer. Mi.ny ranches on the Chehalis are under water ind the streets of several towns flooded and people have moved to higher ground. Many plants are without power and light from failure of the electric current. NICA ANCUTTA TIMCITM.— Among the many letters of congratulation received by the STANDARD, from far and near, on having passed its fifti eth birthday, is one from Mrs. Jo sephine Pevore Johnson, of Portland, Ogn. "Josie" Devore passed her maiden days in this city, and was the daughter of Rev. J. F. Devore, the athletic devine who, having been of fered as a donation by Capt. Crosby, all the lumber he could raft from his mill at Turn water, in one day, thus secured nearly enough wooden ma terial to build the first M. E. church in this city. "Josie," an old-time friend of the STANDARD editor, writes her communication in the classic Chinook jargon, then largely in use here with the English, which we pro pose publishing with a translation, soon as we have tune to brush up our memory of the outlandish patois. She says, in English: "I write you in Chinook, after the manner that always seems natural and exclusive when writing to my genuine old time lilikum *, like yourself. Ido not want to believe that you have forgotten your siwnxh tenwn. ' Lest you forget,' I will merely suggest that I have tried to express how dis appointed I have been In the impos sibility of congratulating you in per son." In return, we say: ''Close, Josie, it Hat micotta utz: Niku tum tum qunnitum delate copti comcny ni ku tilikum. WHY NOT? —The recent article of J. C. Conine, on the subject otf finan cial legislation, caused many com ments among non-Re publicans, who feel that the big financial interests of this country are greatly favored when they can procure money to be issued by this Government based on " other securities," which may mean any old thing whether marketable or otherwise. Mr. Conine's remarks caused some of the new bills to be carefully read and the terms dis cussed. These two words are prompt ing enquiries among the inquisitive. A farmer said if the Government can issue money based on watered stocks, be thought it might more consistently issue currency to him secured on his land and cattle; give htm a chance to pay off his obliga tions or draw interest on his debts like unto the big interests. TIIE attempted black-mail of Rocke feller to the tune of $50,000 is doubt less to get a grasp on a small part ot that $29,000,000 fine that John D. "stood off' Uncle Sam on. Cheap enough, unless a thousand or two of his nephews are imbued with a simi lar motive of enforced restitution. Is Idaho lately a man was defeated for Justice of the Peace by his own wife, who received two votes to his one for that office. In the late elec tion here, a young lady "worked'* assiduously for the defeat of her brother-in-law for City Clerk. WOMKN have now been enfran chised in five States of the Union. This area jointly covers about one fifteenth the surface of the globe. THE suffrage amendment having carried, the women of our State are entitled to a joint ownership in the «ight-key. STANDARD'S BIRTHDAY it Cln-r- Fit'tv Year-of I,iff with out Mis-ing an f--ue. Grand Ovation in Recognition of that Fact Last Saturday Night Over 200 People, from all Parts of the State were Present — No More Joyful Assemblage Ever Met at the Capital of Washington —No More Cor dial Hand-Clasps have b.-en Accorded any Cilizen - No More Enthusiastic Eulogies were Ever Expressed of Mumble Endeav or to Perform a Simple Duty to Fellow Man Presentation of an Elegant Loving- Cupas a Memento—A Lfngering Goodbye Long ' Ayant the Twal," It is with considerable diffidence th.it we approach the task of giving a i •mpi'ehensive account of the ban quet given the STANDARD Saturday night, in enns-qucuee of the writer ! uving to p>.-e to a large extent as a I central ligure, in which he is no 'adept, and would much rather write | of these occasions as one of the many promoters, than as on this occasion, | the honored guest." The evening entertainment began after the assemblage had been seat ed. by the following kind introduct ory remarks by the Toastmaster, Gov. Hay: "We have gathered here to do honor to one who occupies an unique place in American journalism. The journalistic career of John Miller Murphy has no parallel in this coun try. and because of rapidly changing conditions, that career can not bodu plicated. "Just half a century ago, Mr. Murphy issued the first number of the WASHINGTON STANDARD in this city, and from that time to the present day. the STANDARD has never missed an issue. Each week, as regularly as night follows day, that paper has ap peared, never changing ownership, or location, always ou time, and al ways reflecting the keen, vigorous, wholesome personality of its pub lisher. " It is a wonderful record of faith ful, conscientious service to the pat rons of the paper as well as a monu ment to the sterling character and fine intellect of Mr. Murphy." The Governor then gave a brief bi ographical sketch of the editor. In conclusion Governor Hay said: "As a journalist, Mr. Murph.v played an important and an effective part in the building of the Pacific Northwest. He has witnessed and ably assisted in reclaiming Washing ton from the wilderness, and it is an honored privilege to acknowledge at this time and in this manner the ser vice he has rendered." Rev. Dr. R. M. Hayes, of the First Presbyterian church, this city, delivered a fervent appeal to the Great Ruler of the Universe to bless the occasion. The banquet was served by the na tive born girls and matrons of the city assisted by the domestic science students from the Olympia High school. It was strictly a Puget Sound dinner, consisting entirely of the products of this section, starting with clams and closing with pie, ap ple and pumpkin. Edwin Eells, the oldest native son in the State, was the first one called upon and delivered his speech first in Chinook and then "Boston-Man talk." His Chinook jargon kept the hall in a ripple of laughter from the start and many of the old timers re sponded during the delivery with ex clamations in Chinook. Following the address, G. Rosenthal, the pio neer merchant of this city, rose to his fefet and advancing to Mr. Eells congratulated him in Chinook, bring ing a great hand of applause from the guests. Greetings from the Oregon State Pioneers were delivered by Judge P. H. D'Arey of Portland, who gave a brief history of the early days in Washington and Oregon, and the great work done by the pioneers, and their children. The native sons through Lachlan Macleay of Seattle, sent their greet ings to the veteran editor. Mr. Himes' address was too long to IM> printed in full within our lim ited space. Although his theme was the STANDARD, it abounded in much that was reminiscent of the many things only indirectly connected with the subject, and although of in terest to themselves, are barred sim ply from the cause named. Air. Himes said: In the outset Mr. Murphy's ideal of a newspaper was high, hence the tone of the STANDARD during the half century of its life has been uni formly commendable. Every move ment that in his judgment tended towards the improvement of moral, social and educational conditions has received its hearty support. In gen eral it may be said that all who have known the STANDARD recognize it as an excellent newspaper—a credit to its editor, and a credit to its con stituency. Politically, by inheritance, natural tendency, association and habits of study and observation, Mr. Murphy is a Democrat. However, at the time he established the STANDARD, only 11 days after the momentous Presidential campaign of 1860 bad ended, and before the result of that election was known in this part of the country —there was no telegraph line to this Coast then —he declared himself to bo uncompromisingly in favor of preserving the Union, what ever the results of the election. That attitude led to his support of the Republican party during the Civil war, and on up to 1867. In the June election that year he supported Gov. Marshall F. Moore, formerly an able general in the Union army, for delegate to Congress. Since then Mr. Murphy has been an independ ent Democrat, as ready to denounce wrongdoing in his own party as in any other. While he has never sought politi cal office to any great degree, he has been called to public service to some extent —first, as public printer for one term, although another person had the credit; second, Territorial Auditor for several years; third, Quartermaster General of militia; fourth, as a member of the City Couucil for several terms and one terra as County Superintendent. While political controversies of the present day become unduly heated at times, yet the moment the conflict is over normal conditions are resumed, and all who have suffered defeat ac cept the situation gracefully, with the hope of being more successful at the next election. Not so during the ivil war period. No one can real i/." what the conditions then exist ing were except eye witnesses. The relations between the early settlers who fame to this Coast, from States north of Mason and Dixon's line and those from the Southern States fre quently became greatly strained and occasionally resulted in personal conflict. It must not he understood, however, that ail Union men came from the North and those opposed from the South. Among the stron gest supporters of the Union were men from the South, ana frequently it was found thai the most ardent advocates of secession were Northern m -n. In this trying experience Mr. Murphy lore a in mly part. He re alized that there were honest differ ences of opinion, and was therefore generally considerate of those who did not agree with his views. 1 remember one ease, however, his caustic comments upon the views of a man who had been a Federal office holder under Presidents Pierce and Huchanau, drew forth several re joinders, and at length Editor Mur uhy was challenged to tight a duel. As a result the would-be duelist was informed that the " code duello ' was not recognized in this part of the country, and in addition he was so mercilessly lampooned that he with drew the challenge. The oniy serious charge brought against Mr. Murphy during the three years that I worked upon the STANDARD— IB6I-1804—was that of " being young." That was sneet ing ly flung at him continually by those who attempted to dictate his policy, and by a few of his contemporaries. Those who uudertook to measure strength with him frequently failed, and then would credit some of his editorials to older men. It is true that an occasional article appearing upon the editorial page was written by others, but Mr. Murphy's de cided views upon all questions relat ing to the attitude of the STANDARD concerning them subjected all such articles to severe pruning, often to such an extent that they were scarce ly recognizable by theirauthors. Mr. Murphy was the editor, and from his decision there was no appeal. The comment of the Pioneer and Democrat upon the lirst appearance ot the STANDARD was as follows: " The mechanical part of the paper exhibits neatness and good taste, be ing printed on new type and of good readable size, while its editorial col umns display much ability and ex perience—particularly for so young a man. We acknowledge ourself grati fied with the friendly intimations, and its pledge to continue in that happy state of mind; and we certainly at present know of no cause why we shall not remain personally friendly with its editor. That we may and will differ upon the various political topics that agitate the public mind is altogether probable but let that differ ence be characterized by justice and moderation. An open, manly oppon ent we admire." An excellent trait in Mr. Murphy's character is that of faithfulness to his friends and fidelity to all trusts reposed in him. I remember as an apprentice 1 was instructed not to give out any information regarding any transaction, business or other wise, that occurred in mv presence in the newspaper office. What took place there, even current gossip, I was taught to regard as of a strictly private nature. I do not think an instance can I*s found in his long career where Mr. Murphy's opinions, as expressed in the columns of the STANDARD, were influenced in any degree by mercenary motives. And 1 do not think he ever betrayed any confidence reposed in him in the least degree, even though by so do ing it might have rosulted in his pecuniary or politicel l>enefit. The Seattle Press club was repre sented by Francis P. Goss, its Presi dent. Mr. Goss in a few brief re marks tendered Mr. Murphy the best wishes of the Seattle newspaper boys, and presented him with an en grossed copy of their resolutions, at tested by the seal of the club. Reminiscences of the early days were given by Mrs. Mehetable H. Elder, Thomas W. Prosch, Clarence Bagley, Grant C. Angle. Nathan Ward-Fitzgerald delivered an eulogy on the work of Mr. Mur phy as the " Nestor of the Washing ton Press." Congratulatory letters were read by Albert Tozierof Portland, from all the past Presidents of the Nation al Editorial Association as well as prominent men of the country, among them being one from Hon. W. Bryan. Frank B. Cole, Albert Johnson. Frank L. Stocking and Deed 11. Mayer gave short addresses on the State press and its relation to the people of the State. The banquet was enlivened by sev eral selections sung by the Olympia Quartette consisting of Q. H. Green bank, N. W. Elwell, Curtis Egbert and Brad L. Hill. This was one of the most charming features of the evening. Here are the names attached to some of the letters of congratulation; Chas. H. Jones, Paris, France. A. B. White, Wheeling, West Vir ginia.

One of the letters of congratulation most highly prized js th?t "received from his first "boss," D. W. Craig, now living near Salem in about the 85 th year of his age. It follows: My Dear Frieud: —i am reminded by notice in the papers that the 50th anniversary of your establishment of the "Standard" at Olympia is at hand, and that the event is to be celebrated by your friends there. Time *o imperceptible vanishes away that I can hardly realize that a half a century has elapsed since on the morning of the Kth day of Juno, 18t>0 you bade me adieu, a'. Oregon City and started for the Territory of Washington, with the view of enter ing the newspaper field. Von first went to Vancouver, and 'lien to Olympia at which latter place yoti had often spoken, .vhile in my em ployment, of starting a newspaper. I well remember receiving in No vember of that year, the first num ber, which was up, in matter and form, to your ideal, and from which it lias scarcely varied in all the inter veninii years, from that time to this. If you remember, you finished your apprenticeship to the printing busi ness with me, also working for some months afterward. 1 often recur to those times, with pleasure, when we, both young, would get out the paper alone, with no superfluous hands around, and in the way. I noticed then in you, a fixedness of purpose, which your life since has manifested in an eminent degree. Your con temporary of the Orojoniitn, Mr. Henry L. Pittock. is another re marked example of the rare trait to which I have alluded illustrative of the well known adage of " the roll ing stone." 1 would like to Imj with you 011 the anniversary occasion, but that is out of the question. lam neither too old nor to infirm, but my affairs won't allow my leaving home. Please ac cept my congratulations on the inter esting event, together with my sin cere wishes for a long life to you of continued prosperity and happiness. Very truly your friend. D. W. CitAiu. Booxville, N. Y., Nov. 10, 'lO. Dear Sir: Accept greetings from a brother editor in New York State up on having complete fifty years in the editorial chair. Can realize what you have done in that time for the better ment of the great human family. Such a history as you could write would be of greatest interest to the newspaper fraternity. Surely your experiences have been many and varied, watching the growth of our common country and also that land where flows the Oregon. May you live many years to enjoy the fruits of the labors and may your shadow never grow less. Assuring you of my best wishes and with sincere greetings upon your fiftieth anniver eary as editor, I am, Fraternally yours, G. A. WILI.ARI), Editor Boonville Herald. SANTA CLARA, Cal., Nov. 4, 1910. Mr. Albert Tozier, Past President National Editorial Association, 293 East 54th street, Portland, OgD. DEAR BROTHER TOZIER: I thank you for the kind invitation to the semi-centennial anniversary celebration in honor of Mr. John Miller Murphy, and regret exceed ingly that the great distance that separates us from the.scene of this celebration makes it impractical for me to attend. Not only would I delight to have part of the honor to be shown Mr. Murphy, but I would be proud to know and meet a man whose journal istic record is ono in ten thousand. This record speaks for itself. I need not be told that Mr. Murphy is a man of splendid character and at tainments, for only the highest at tributes of the man and journalist would have sustained hiin in so long and arduous a career, and brought him at this time the honors his fel low citizens and co-workers are now about to bestow upon hiiu. Pray give him and the members of the Washington Press Association my cordial and respectful greetings. Sincerely yours, J. P. BAUMOARTNER, President of the National Editorial Association. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 8, 1910. Mr. Alber Tozier, Portland, Ogn. MY DEAR MR. TOZIER: Please present my compliments to Mr. John Miller Murphy, publisher of the WASHINGTON STANDARD, and convey to hiin my congratulations upon having reachod the golden an niversary io his journalistic career. I hope he may be spared many years to give his readers the benefit of his long and ripe experience. Very truly yours, W. J. BRYAN. Another letter Irora Mrs. Mary Mills Huntington, of "The Dalles," Oregon, expresses " the most sincere regret" in not being able to extend congratulations in person. She writes: "I cannot imagine you any older than when we used to sing in the choir of the Blue Ribbon League in Champion of the Red Cross hall. What good times we used to have, but that was nearly thirty years ago, and I now have children oldor than I was at that time. How I wish I could see you all again." • » • After the presentation of a beauti* ful Loving Cup from the editorial and Pioneer Associations and the Olympia Commercial Club—the pre sentation speech being gracefully done by Mrs. Edyth T. Weatherred, the editor, on a rising call said: While I realize that to be last I I must necessarily be brief, there are some few points not touched upon by others in the life of the STANDARD and its editor that I think are of eno-jgh interest to be mentioned here. One of these is suggested by a re mark of Harvey W. Scot t some years ago, in talking of the relative prog ress of the Oregonian and the STAND ARD. He seemed to think that real progress was shown in the many page edition more than continuity of publication, but he seemed to have devoted more attention to results than the causes that had produced them. The success of a big paper must result from environment and opportunity, united with a full com prehension of methods and persist ence in applying them. The oppor tunity presented the Oregouiau was the civil war. The enterprise and sagacity of Henry L. Pittock, its pub isher, succeeding T. J. Dryer and others, in its management, en abled him to obtain the Associated Press franchise, and give the only news service existing north of Sacra mento. This made the Oregonian an absolute necessity to the whole people. UFL to that time it had been a "country weekly," of four-page [Conclusion on next page.] Tick Republicans are, figuratively speaking, "moving heavens and earth" to have Frank H. Rudkin, who now. holds the lucrative and ex ceedingly enjoyable position of Su preme Justice of the Washington Su preme Court, appointed a Federal Judge for the Eastern part of the State, in order to advance some other i>ap-sucker to the vacancy and thus move the whole line one notch farther upward. It is surprising with what exact precision the machine wheel revolves. " More offices, more offices!" is the slogan constantly kept in view, and the conductor sel dom goes outside the "ring" for ma terial. One would think the rank and file would get tired of waiting their turn in the line of preferment, for which all have such an inordi nate liking. Si'Ekdv ani> Exact Ji.stick.— Doc tor Ilawley Crippen was hanged, Wednesday, for the murder of his wife. Belle Elmore. His reported confession was denied. His trial lasted only four days. Had it taken place in Washington, it would have required double that time to select a jury. The fat man Taft did hit the nail on the head once, when he said, the administration of our criminal law is a disgrace to our civilization. It is not the purpose of our institu tions that our courts should be the cities of refuge for criminals. Fot'R women have been elected to the Colorado House of Representa tives. Mrs. Louisa N.
