SIGN OF THE TIMES
“God help the rich! the poor can
jog,” is the motto of the political
jeewees, economic pollywogs and
lemmy-reps of the Territory.
‘Let us understand each other : I
im not of the army of vicious idlers
svhc rail at those who by industry
md frugality have become rich. I
miy regret that their honest pros
perity is the exception to the rule, j
There is a third of a century of |
hqrd work behind me, and while
not a man of wealth, my income
is -sufficient for my wants. Now
what are you, that look into your
leather spectacles and see only the
rose pictures painted there by the
aristocrats? In ninety-and-nine
cases out of a hundred you are a
pitiful hanger-on to the bedrabbled
skirts of a pseudo-respectibility,
echoing parrot-like; ideas of the
plutoccrat, and condemning the
hcnest workingman who cannot
conceal his poverty. It is by the
aid of such as you that the pluto
cracy retains its power to despoil
the people. It makes of you a
cat’s-paw to rake the chestnuts out
of the coals, and despises you, as a
matter of course. * * * When the
working people are able to fairly
live, they are conservative, patriotic
and constitute the strength of the
state, but when, toil as you may,
save as they can, while the wealth
created by their labor goes to the
enrichment of others, they become
dissatisfied and dangerous. If the
ruling class divide and subdue
them, the degenerate into spiritless
lazzaroni; but if the people triumph
in the struggle, then woe to those
who have reaped where they have
not sown and gathered where they
have not strewn.”— Brann, The
Iconoclast.
THE HATCHERY BUNK
The supply of salmon is not be
ing depleted by the present rate cf
catch. In fact, with 17 State hat
chevies, and seven federal hatcherie3
in the State, operated scientifically,
the run is being built up year by
year in quantity and qualify. For
instance the Willapa hatchery has
in its rearing ponds over a million
young Chinooks and almost half a
million Silversides. Extra large ap
propriations have been made lately
to build up a run on the Willapa
river, where fishing would be pro
hibited under the new initiative
No person here should sign a bill
which would threaten the prosperity
of this county and the State of
Washington as a whole. Finally,
the bill is purely a selfish proposi
tion, backed primarily by the gill
nntters of the Skagit river, which is
favored in the measure.”—Chinook
Oh°erver, Chinook, Washington.
“The State through its hatcheries
frcm 1900 up to and including
March had hatched and liberated
steelhead fry from a total in excess
of 2,875,000,000 eggs taken at the
various sections of the state where
the hatcheries are located.” We
were just recently asked why the
steelhead trout do not increase. In
view of the records of the hatcheries
of Alaska, the enormous quantities
of eggs they have “hatched” and
otherwise destroyed, it i3 not to be
wondered that when 2,875,000,000
eggs are taken that the specie does
not multiply.
Even the great Herbert in an
article for the Izaak Walton League
admits of the failure of the hatch
ery system yet the Washington
State Fisheries board and the Bu
reau of Fisheries still pass out
hatchery bunkum. Using the same
figures should one start to hatch
chickens they would have an enor
mous output and bring in consider
able wealth but somehow the anal
ogy never seems to work out and
In spite of the hatcheries we do
have salmon and steelhead return.
Yes, IN SPITE OF THEM.
IMPORTANT TRAPSITE
The government has full control
ar.d ownership of Sand Island at
the mouth of the Columbia River
a short distance from Astoria. This
was a deceision handed down by
ihe Federal Court, Portland, Or.,
giving the government the right to
regulate and issue permits for the
fishing rights of the island not only
of the highland but also of the
tideland.
This decision was entered in the
case of U. S. and Barbey vs Colum
bia River Packer’s Association and
ice State Land Board to establish
.he right of the government to con
trol the islands and the lack of
authority on the part of the State
to issue fishing license for the use
of the island. Defendants based
their defense on the fact that after
the island had been ceded by the
9tate to the government in 1864,
Congress had never expressly or by
implication accepted the grant nor
recognized it, therefore It was not
effective.
The case has been pending in
the courts since 1926 and establishes
certain principles of ownership In
tide lands and also of the highland
that may be far reaching if once
given say in other sections.
A LONG STRIKE
The longest strike in the coal
fields of this or any other country
has been registered by the union
miners of the bituminous fields of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir
ginia. A year ago the first of April
they called the strike and more
tliM 100,000 miners left their pits
refusing to return. They are just
rs determined to stay out today as
they were when they walked out
of the mines. The anniversary ol
thi3 strike was marked by the clos
ing down of 700 additional mines
in Illinois and Indiana throwing
out over 80,000 miners.
Besieds being of record the long
st strike in the history of the coal
industry, this is one of the dirtiest,
Tflost unhuman strikes in the his
tory of the United States. The in
vestigations of the conditions in tho
Pennsylvania coal fields by the
Senate Investigation Committee dis

HEALTH TALK
KEEP CLEAN—INSIDE
Outgo is more important than in
come so far as the body is concern
ed. One can keep well while fast
ing, but not when the bowels fail
in their functions. The waste of
the body must be kept moving or
illness will ensue.
A failure of the bowels is a fail
ure of nerve supply to the muscles
of the bowels. Chiropractic spinai
adjustments, by removing spinal ir
ritation and pressure on these
nerves, secure the return of norm
al bowel action.
A Prominent Cleveland Journalist
Writes—
“For many years my bowels were
irregular, resulting in auto-intoxl
cation and general debility. Pills
lost their power. Physical culture
was without satisfactory results. I
was obliged to use a syringe regu
larly Then I went to a chiropract
or. After he had given me ad
justments for a short time my bow
els began to move normally and
have been normal ever since.
