That there are such en - tuies we all know: hut wiat all do not know is that this elitpie is unanimously in favor o: Mottman t"i nn.ye:. Will It .Mottman is friendly to the market it is strange that their meaty voi.-> > unite in singing ••Onward. Christian Soldier!" Of course they may nm know tin ir nun. They may not have an understanding with Mr. Mottman; they may hav • only a untideiici in him based on his well known knocking record that, since the market is a good thing tor p oph- as a whole, and there is no oppor tunity for Mr. Mottman to install an overall stall with its eoeomitant revenue, he would he opposed to it on gen- r i prineiph s. Agre m- tit or no agreement, understanding or no understanding, the "hunch that light the l'uhlie Market seem to think TIIEY can do better at Mottman's. Talking about argtnm nts, w • find in tin* first vers- of Mottman's first Epistle to the Olympians words as follows: "Outside ot the filing fee, I will not spend a single pennv to get the nomination or gain the election. I 1 helieve in the old fashioned doctrine that a position ot honor and trust should he gained upon an honorable basis without solicitation, combination or oilier shady un a as." Brave and noble words! •■'Honor and trust." Tims ■ words do not jingle, hut we get Mr. Mottman's view point of the ofiiee to which h • aspires. Il is "honor and trust" he is seeking. We were rash enough to impute quite a different motive to his strenuosities. We almost inti mated that he tired his ambition with his burning desire for power and pelf. The pre ponderance of evidence was strongly in favor of our position, but to make "assurance doubly sure" we beg the indulgence of til • reader while we quote a few passages from Mr. Mottman's Apocrypha. Did Mr. Mottman have "honor and trust" or his personal interests in mind when he announced His candidacy in the following language (Oct. 1912): "Owing to my large property interests * * * I finally made u;> my mind to make the sacrifice and be come a candidate for mayor of Olympia, etc." And just to show that this real estate id a coupled with city government juts out all over Mr. Mottman like a sore thumb, w • refer as far back as Dec. 12, 1910, when Mr. Mottman said in the Recorder: "Owing to the fact that lam seriously han dicapped, having to contend with a hostile city administration, who, for political reasons, is using its political power to destroy the value and usefulness of my real estate hold ings in Olympia, I have decided to sell out every piece of property that will bring the net cost or a little under actual cost." Again, Dee. 16th, same year, same paper, he again soliloquizes as follows: "The way 1 am fixed is this, I either have to fight every step in the courts to keep a hostile city administration from using its political influ ence and power to destroy the value and usefulness of my real estate holdings, or else dispose of the property and stop paying court costs and attorneys' fees." It seems as if poor George was always the victim of a huge conspiracy. Yet George became wealthy. Later, after another of his pet ideas could not penetrate the councilmanic numbskulls, be collapsed to the point where lie marked down his real es tate from actual cost to half price, and threatened to invest all his money in Tacoma after that date. His idea of a city government is that it should be a real estate ex change, with Mottinan's property listed and everybody else barred. Ilis bombastic statements as to what he will do for the people, if elected, would curdle pasteurized milk. His ideas of municipal ownership might do credit to Mud Bay Sam, but any person who has one-fourth of his thinking machine in operation will readily see that we can never have municipal ownership of anything in the Mottman way. At any rate what would be left for the municipality to own after Mottman oper ated on*the community? Save the Public Market by voting for Dr. Bridgford P.

C., Nov. 29. senator Isidor Rayner of Maryland 4led at his home here at 6:20 Monday qiorning. He had been ill for weeks with neuritis and his death had been aspected for several days. The funeral was held here Wednes day. the honorary pallbearers being chosen from members of the senate 4><l house. The ceremony was con ducted by Chaplain Pierce of the sen ate and Interment followed fn Rock Qreek cemetery. The control of the United States sen ate after March 4 may hinge on the death of Senator Rayner. The Repub lican whom it is expected Governor <|oldB borough will appoint in his place sflll hold office at least until the Mary land legislature meets in January, 1914. With Rayner's vote, the Democratic leaders counted 49, or one more than g majority of the total membership of M. In any event 48 votes, with the vote of the vice president, in case of a was looked upon as sufficient strength to assure control. Senator Curtis of Kansas says that the election of one or possibly two Bemocrats in Illinois and one in Ten nessee probably will break the tie in t(ie senate. Local Company Erecting Tnnka.

Miss Florence Hanson of S attle Hfml Thanksgiving with her aunt, BURKE FOR CABINET HEAD North Dakota'* Governor A 100 Touted for Secretary of the Interior. A united effort Is being made by North Dakota Democrats to induce President-elect Wilson to name Gov ernor John Burke, of North Dakota, secretary of the interior. The reason for selecting Governor Burke as the Northwest candidate is because of his strong personality and his distinguish ed leadership of Democracy. As an agriculturist and prominent lawyer John Burke made a canvass of North Dakoto six years ago for the office of governor and he was elected in the face of a hitherto overwhelming Re publican majority that had been char acteristic of that state since statehood. Now he bears the honor of having been three times nominated governor and he could have been three times elected had he become a candidate this fall. "So popular have the Democratic ad ministrations of Governor Burke been in North Dakota that a non-partisan organization has been started to assist us in this, the ambition of the North west to have a representative in the cabinet," says D. G. McArthur, North Dakota's state chairman. "Governor Burke has a broad knowl edge of land and land policy, being a pioneer in this great agricultural sec tion, and he is specially well informed about Alaska, vitally Important to the entire commercial welfare of the Unit ed States but which has been so in tricately involved in legislation and corporate domination that its vast re sources remain undeveloped. He is peculiarly fitted for the position of secretary of the interior, and his per sonality and wisdom in administering public affairs would greatly strengthen the administration of President Wil son." Mrs. L. A. Kibbe, wife of County Superintendent Kiobe, was this week siezed with an attack of appendicitis while in attendance at the bedside of her father-in-law at Aberdeen and had to be removed to an Aberdeen hospital for an immediate operation.

Telling again the stories of the events of that memprable day 59 years ago when the territory's first governor arrived in Olympia Thurston county pioneers joined with the State His torical last Tuesday in placing a tab let on the site where the territory's first legislature met.

Several anecdotes of the time were recounted by John Miller Murphy, assrvate editor of THE WASHINGTON STANI-AND, and F. C. Hub bell of Tacoma made another short talk.

Governor-elect Ernest Lister will make practically no changes In state offices until after the session of the legislature. Neither will he indicate the few appointments he will make to the fortunate ones until after the state canvassing board has met next month and certified to his election. This announcement was made re cently by the state's new executive In conjunction with the further declara tion: "There will be no spoils in my administration-at Olympia." Some of fices will have to be filled immediately, among which are the private secre taryship and the position of state print er, as the term of the present incum bent will expire January 7. There may be a few other positions which will become vacant by reason of resig nations or because of expiration of terms. But as a general proposition Governor-elect Lister feels that he will not make any appointments until af ter the legislature has met. "I do not desire the matter of state patronage to interfere in any way with the work of the legislature," Governor Lister explained. "I want the legisla ture to take up matters which concern the people of the state and I want the legislature to be unhindered by pat ronage entanglements whatsoever." CHILDREN'S HOME FUND.
