Tonking of the Queen's hall and Royal Albert hall of London, England, sang two pleasing solos in the Methodist church Sunday night. He also entertained the Choral club Tuesday evening with a few of his beautiful selections. Mr. Rodda was invited to remain over Sunday to sing at the com munion services in the Metho dist church, but owing previous engagements in Rossland, was unable to do so. While in Col ville, Mr. Rodda was a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Acorn. Mrs. D. L. Cyr, of Spokane, is visiting her daughter Miss Marie Cyr this week. Mrs. Leßoy E.

If the other three bottle dealers do a like amount of business it would appear that the present local option law is working to good purpose.

"No .Trespassing Notices" printed on cloth, large size, clear and distinct, at the Examiner. Some Correspondence A Communication The following letter was received from a resident of the Aladdin country this week, to whom a sample copy of the Examiner had been sent; "Editor Colville Examiner-I thank you for your kindness in sending your paper. My commendation can matter little to you, but I wish to say there is much to admire in the Examiner as a publication, much to respect in its lack of vituperative nonsense, so much af fected by some papers, in expressing your political preferences. There is one thing I sought in your columns in vain to find. That is, reminders of the great prosperity we enjoyed during the last term of a democratic president. I shall be very glad to buy the Examiner which contains a reminiscent sketch of the great prosperity enjoyed when last the democrats were at the helm of state. Thanking you in advance for an explanation which explains, I am, yours sincerely, ." The explanation which explains is as follows: There was but little and scattered prosperity in this country during Cleveland's last term. Even before Cleveland was nominated, dur ing Harrison's term, business condit ions began to be very bad, getting worse each month, and the climax came (luring the years Cleveland happened to be in office.

We will Share our Profits with You Heimbach & Co. have attempted many times to show that the hard times were the result of the democratic president, but the news columns of the papers, the financial papers of the east, the trade journals, and the U. S. history itself all show that the hard times started in and as a result of the republican administration preceding Cleveland. What was the moral of this story? Well, the nation seeing its fate, turned to democracy to relieve it—and democ racy did the best it could with a shat tered business system. The country was put on its feet, and when Mc- Kinley was elected conditions were 80 much improved that it was little trouble to continue the onward march. This year the people are again at the climax of the aggressive greed of the trusts, and are again turning to de mocracy for help. And if any argu ment be needed to show that the peo ple know where to turn, look at the certainty of Wilson's election this year with eastern wagers 5 to 1 on the democrat. From a Granger. A prominent grange correspondent sent the following to the Examiner Wednesday, with request to print. The letter is on file in this office: "There are queer people in the world and in Colville, in business and in poli tics. But Mrs. Stayt, the first woman candidate for representative, is a leader when it comes to queer people in poli tics. She wants the grangers to sup port her, but will not promise them her support in questions of great interest to them. Now what is the matter with Mrs. Stayt? Does she actually think she can run things to suit her own sweet self, just because nho is a woman? Does equal suffrage give women a preference to men? No. If Mrs Stayt expects the support of the grangers, she must bow to the wish of this organization or go without its vote, and in the latter case she must bear the consequences. When she says that pledges are of no avail, as they are not observed anyway, Hhe is thereby honest enough to admit that she would not live up to this pledge should she sign it and be elected. But, these pledges become very important factors to both candidate and voter when once the recall is an established fact. For then they become an ax, laid onto the root of the tree, which in the hand of the recall will cut out every tree that brings no good fruit. So a candidate who will not sign a pledge is afraid of the ax, which shows that the tree is not sound before planting."

Page 3 that she refused to sign the pledges sent out by the grange to support cer tain grange measures, and which pledg es were signed by every other legisla tive candidate in the county. The master of the county grange has so notified each grange of the county, suggesting that it is not wise for the grange to support her. From Mill Creek. A letter from a Mill creek Granger was received by the Examiner Thurs day night. We quote a paragraph: "It may be that your stand on local politics is not to be envied. For what with the ring against you, and the Statesman-Index working overtime to be on top slinging wicked epithets at you, the position you have taken must bear the brunt of political battle in this county." Guess that's right, Brother Granger, but Red Top's shoulders are broad and what may not be envied now may in some future time be historical evidence of the manner in which the courthouse ring was killed. Why Mourn Your Condition? From a Socialist You want work, yet persist in voting yourself out of a job. You want a home, yet persist in vot ing all the homes to the rich. You want good clothing, yet persist in voting yourself and family into rags. You want good food, yet persist in voting charity soup for yourself and banquets for the idle rich. You want coal for $1 per ton (miners get 30 cents), yet persistently vote to pay coal monoplies $5. You want sugar at 2 cents (labor) cost, ljcents ), yet persistently vote to pay the sugar trust 6 cents. You want coal oil at 2 cents (labor coßt three-fifths of a cent per gallon), yet persistently vote to pay the oil mo nopoly 10 to 30 cents. Your life is full of wants, to say nothing of your needs, but you vote to satisfy the wants of the rich and do without yourself. Your condition, tne price you pay for every article, the wages you receive, in simply a matter of the voting of the majority. You vote the same ticket as the rich, and of course that's what's the matter. ___ "Doan'l Ointment cured me of Miami iimt had annoyed mi for a long time. The remilt wu« luting."—Hon. B. W.
