SINCLAIR'S TRUE CHARACTER.
The Press has no desire to humili
ate any one through ita oolu mu and
la not In the habit of diggin • up bur
ied akeletona unleaa it becomes neces
aary in the diaoharge of our duty to
the public, and when It cornea to
thia we do it without fear or favor.
Daring the progreae of the preaeut
campaign the county attorney wrote
a letter to the board of county com
mlaalonera aaking for the appoint
nient of a deputy in hia office. The
board compiled with bla request and
it waa understood that the aiueoure
would go to Bartlett Sinclair. The
whole proceeding was looked upon a*
4 political more for the purpose of
ailencing Sinclair's opposition to the
political machine,—state and couuty
—at the ex|ieuse of the people. The
Press objected to thia method of
squandering the people's money, and
in order to show the true character of
the tnau the republican politicians
were attempting to placate lit public j
expeuse wo wore compelled to refer
to hia Philippine record, stating that
be had been removed from office us
treasurer of Rizal province for alleg-'
«d embezzlement of public funds.
Sinclair and hia advisers thought Itj
would be a good political move to
have u» arrested for crlmiual libel,
and Couuty Attorney WLilia became
so enthused over the proposition that
he could not conatin himself, and
gave the fact oat that our arrest was
to take plaoe. Others of the republi
can leaders advised against the move,
Imt the deaire to "get eveu with
Scott" consumed Sinclair and his
firienda and the plunge Into political
suicide was made. We were arrested
for telling the truth and exposing po
litic it rottenness that has become a
stench In the noatrila of honest peo
ple regardless of party. Sinclair
proclaimed hia inuooeuoe and assum
ed an air of injured character. In
his smooth way he told how he had
been maligned and lied about by the
Press. This, together with the fact
that we had been arrested for alleged
criminal libel made it necessary for
ua to prove our charges or stand con
victed before the publlo as a wrecker
of character and a liar. To show that
we are neither wo publish lu this is
sue of the Press an official letter
from the war department showing
Sinclair's true character in a worse
light tltau we had dared to place It.
The evldeuce is so complete aud con
vincing that the political effect of our
arreet la to the discredit of the re
publican rlug and we appeal to our
friends throughout the couuty, to
those who have kuowu ua for the (suit
fifteen years, to the people for whom
the Press has battled these many
years to stand by us iu thia tight for
better county government, morality
and lower taxes by voting the demo
oratio ticket, which is composed of!
dean meu pledged to honest govern
went and economy. Let ua join
hands and have a house cleaning that
will be of lasting benefit.
The Press will tight the people's
battles and all we ask ia assistance to
accomplish th(i needed reforms.
Are ,£ you with us in our tight
agaiuet the Binclair of polities?

HOW THEY GOT AHEAD
OF THE OLD FOLKS
(Original.)
Miss Julia VVardwell had breakfasted
and was attending to her canary wheu
the postman arrived and left a letter
for her.
"Good gracious!" she exclaimed.
"Mamma 'to be married.' 'Sorry she
can't come home quits as early as ex
pected.' 'Mr. Arbuckle'. 'Hopes I'll
not be naughty about It* What in tin
world am 1 to do? I can't get used to
a strange man in the house. I'll"—
A maid entered and handed her u
card on which was written, "Henry
Durand Arbuckle,"
"Well, I declare," the girl went on
with her soliloquy, after telling the
maid to say that she would be down
soon, "this la 'disaatsr following fast
and following faster.' I hardly leurn
that I am to have a stepfather wheu I
am called to face him. I wonder If
mamma has gone and made a silly of
herself by taking a young man. She
always disliked old ones. So I suppose
she's got a boy. Heighol I wish I bad
some one to marry myself."
She prinked a little before the gins*
and then went down into the drawing
room. A handsome young man of twen
ty-five arose as she entered. He looked
rather enitmrrnssed and stammered a
few Incoherent sentences.
"Beg purdon. Mm. Arbuckle— 1 mean
Miss—no, Mm. Wardwell, for calling
so early. I have but a few hours in
the city, and''—
"You are quite excusable, Mr. Ar
buckle. I received a letter this morn
ing"—
"So did 1. Quite charmed, I assure
you, to find so young a person. I
feared"—
"Aud I am quite surprised In you."
"I think I shall love you very much.
My mother died when I was but four
yearn old, and I have no remembrance
of her."
Miss Wardwell looked surprised.
"His mother!"
"1 remember my father," she replied,
"and I'm quite sure no other man can
take his place, but''—
"You will not object to the love of a
•on?"
Miss Wardwell paused again. "The
love of n son! Is mamma to marry a
lunatic?"
Meauwhlle Mlsa Wardwell bad tak
en a seat on a sofa, and Mr. Arbuckle,
who had taken a chair, got up and sat
down beside her.
"You have no Idea," he oaid, "how
charmed I am lu finding so agreeable
a young person. I'm sure we shall get
on famously. You will find me dutiful,
obedient, loving."
"And I," she replied, "am equally
pleased. Just liefore you called I made
up my mind that I couldn't endure''—
"Same here. We have both felt
alike. How delightful to have dissat
isfaction turued to pleasure! Oh
mother, let us"—
"Mother!" she exclaimed, drawing
back. "What do you mean?"
"I mean that father couldn't have
chosen a more satisfactory stepmother
for me."
"Stepmother! Why, I'm to be your
stepdaughter."
"What do you take me for?"
"Mainum's new husband that is to
be."
"Are you not Mrs. Wardwell Y*
"I am Miss Julia Wardwell. Do 1
look old enough to tie your step
mother?"
"Thia is very aatoulshlng. 1 sup
posed I was calllug on father's Ann
cee."
"And 1 supposed you were my moth
er*s fiance."
"rather wrote me that Mrs. Ward
well would arrive In the city yester
day and, as 1 was passing through
asked me to call on her."
"I have just received a letter from
mamma saying that she has been dc
layed. 1 supposed she had chosen u
young umn. 8he has never liked old
"Well, well! Upon my .wont! Autl
you're not to he my stepmother after
•nr
"I should say not! And you're not
to be my stepfather, and I'm to have
on old rnau in the houael I'm dtsnp
pointed."
"And I'm to have an old woman for
a stepmother."
*T ahull not live with them."
"Nor I."
"I shall take apartments aud live
alone, with a maid and other serv
ants."
"You can't do that."
"Why notr
"You're too young—and pretty."
"Oh. dear! I'm disgusted."
"8o am I. I shall go Into bachelor
quarters."
"Why will parents make themselves
happy by making their children miser
abler
"It's very selfish of them."
"They've had tbolr Sing and should
defer to their offspring."
"I'd like to get ahead of the gov
ernor It would serve him right"
"l'd marry a clown to get eve* with
mamma."
"I wouldn't mind helping yon out"
Mlsa Wardwell turned away bei
bead. Her stepfather that was to
have been moved closer.
"Do you know when our parents ar»
to be married?" he asked.
"On the 1st of July, mother says
Your father has business la England
la that month, and they are to sail as
soon aa married."
"Veor well. We'll beat them by twe
weeks."
"Father's a fool."
"So is mother."
•Tlwy'll quarrel."
Kisses hero interfered, and the din

HARRIET B. LEE.
Politicians Guessing.
Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 24.—Politi
cians are asking, if Governor Mead
has returned to his former alliance
with B. D. Crocker and Senator Levi
Ankney, what effect it will have on
the present office holders under the
state administration.
H. A. Fairchild, chairman of the
state railroad commission, is non per
sona grata at the Ankeny ringside.
So is James H. Davis of the hoard of
control. Will their resignations be
usked?
Will Mrs. Charles Hermann reaji
pear as matron of the insane asylum
at Steilacoom? And what minor
officials at the state penitentiary will
be displaced? How far will the gov
ernor go to show his loalty to the An
keney machine?
The selection of Matthew Piles a*
Kincaid's successor on the board of
control was not pleasing to Senator
Piles because, as politicians under
stand it, the senator warned to land
Thomas Paine in some convenient
state office. Governor Mead acted
on his own initiative, once be was
started, and it does not appear that
Senator Piles had an opportunity to
present Paine for the place.
J. W. Burst was arrested and fined
810 and oust this mornnig for drunk
and disorderly conduct. The fine
was imposed by Justice Chamberliu.
