FAY M'BRID E SEES IT
Victory of Railway Bill Not
a Personal One.
GOVERNOR GIVES MANY CREDIT
He Predicts That the Republicans
Will Sweep the State ly the Larg
est Majority In the History
of the Party.
SEATTLE, Sept 12. (Special.) Gover
nor McBrlde grave his first newspaper In
terview today since' the recent Republi
can convention, which Indorsed his plan
xor an appointive railway commission.
In brief, the Governor said that In his
opinion the adoption of the platform de
claring: for an appointive commission
would result in the greatest victory this
Fall ever won by any party In the his
tory of the state. The Governor said,
moreover, that the victory he and other
advocates of the commission plank' won
In the convention was not a personal vic
tory for him; that he was not entitled to
the credit any more than were the other
friends of the Railroad Commission meas
ure. Finally, the Governor predicted that
Republicans generally throughout the
state would support the platform, and
that the members of the .Legislature, If
that body is Republican, will carry out
the platform this Winter by the enact
ment of a Railroad Commission bill in
accordance with the policy.
"In my opinion," said the Governor,
"the adoption of the plank In the state
platform declaring in favor of the crea
tion of a Railroad Commission to be ap
.polntcd by the Governor will win the
Republican party thousands of votes In
the coming election. 1 believe that be
cause of this action by the state conven
tion on "Wednesday, we will roll up this
Fall the largest majority on record In the
annals of the state. The measure will be
supported by the rank and file of the Re
publican voters throughout "Washington.
Republican doctrines enunciated in Repub
lican platforms havp always been crys
tallized Into Legislative enactments, either
state or National. The rule will bo ob
served in Washington.
"Moreover, in my opinion, the Legisla
ture, if Republican, as I feel sure It will
be, will obey the will of the party as ex
pressed ln the platform adopted by the
Tacoma convention, and will pass a bill
for the appointment of a Railroad Com
mission with all the powers such . a body
should have. The victory won by the ac
tion taken by the Tacoma convention
does not belong to one man or one set
of men. It was earned after a long and a
hard contest, by the advocates of the
measure, for which we have been fighting
since I was nominated for Lieutenant
Governor. In no sense was It a personal
vlctorj to which I can assert any claim
of credit."
RAILROADS ARE HIT HARD.
Their Lobbyists Realize" Tliey 3Iust
.Change Tliclr Methods.
TACOMA. Sept. 12. (Special. A story
of the Republican state convention just
ended, heretofore overlooked, has just
leaked out. It Illustrates the mahner
In which Senatorial politics "crept Into
that gathering, and though the scheme
failed, politicians will be interested in
the telling. At the time the Congression
al nominations were In the air, and- talk
of a'l kinds of combinations was at its
height. King was flirting with outside
counties which would turn down Cush
man, of Pierce. Of course, it was be
lieved then that King would not worry
much if Cushman went by the board,
and, incidentally, Cushman and Pierce
County were not bound up in King
County's prospects.
William Jones, formerly of Walla
Walla, one of Levi's Ankeny's strongest
opponents, and a friend of John L. Wil
8ion, with a decided Preston-McBrlde
leaning, saw an opportunity to injure
the candidacy of Ankeny before the com
ing Legislature. Jones was on the steer
ing committee of the Pierce County dele
gation. He approached a number of the
members of the delegation, or rather' the
steering committee, with a proposition
to tako up a certain prominent Walla
Walla man, who has long had Congres
sional ambitions, turn down Humphrey
and deal Ankeny a serious, blow. He
figured that the deal could go through by
throwing Cushman's strength to the
Walla .Walla candidate, even though his
home county refused to support him.
Wilson, and Preston Approved.
The proposition did not find favor with
the steering committee from Pierce and
was dropped. It Is questionable whether
it could have been made to win, but It
was a plan that friends of Wilson .and
Preston fully approved. The man in
question has heretofore strongly opposed
Ankeny in all his fights, but recently
agreed to be loyal and was expected to
go down the line 'with him. It is be
lieved he knew nothing of the proposed
action.
The convention would seem to have In
dicated a number of Important things.
Among tiiese is that railroad politics In
this state must be conducted on differ
ent lines. There Is no division of sent
iment now on the proposition that the
fight was lost through poor management
by the railroad attorneys and politicians.
It is true the railroads have not indorsed
any Senatorial candidate and their agents
are presumed to be maintaining a neutral
position. That they; were not is evi
dent, and that they lost their fight
against the commission bill for that rea
son is also evident.
Railroads Keep Hands. Off.
The railroad workers at the c6nventlon
kept their hands off the Congressional
fight. This appeared strange, at the time,
to many uninformed politicians, but the
truth of the matter Is that they were told
in unmistakable terms that they must
devote their attention solely "to the rail
road Issue. Every proposition looking
toward assistance to Congressional can
didates was turned down. Tlie rail
road workers were sent into the field to
work solely for the Interest of the roads.
And it is now understood that In the
future the railroad agents will not worry
so much with outside matters. Of course,
they will reward their friends by giving
them good support, but their own inter
ests will be protected first.
The new management of the transcon
tinental lines Is disgusted with the way
politics has been played by railroad
workers In the past, and is anxious to get
out of this practice ff possible. It Is
doubtful, however. If the time has come
when the railroads are safe In keeping
their ands off, but work toward that
end will be- undertaken now.
It would appear that Ankeny has made
good with the railroads and will have
to be given support In return for the next
session of the .Legislature. ' He delivered
every vote he could control against a
railroad commission and will expect com
pensation. But for that matter, the rail
road influences have nominated a major
ity of Ankeny men for the Legislature
where they have controlled the county
conventions and this, too, In spite of the
fact that the roads were held to be hold
ing aloof from the Senatorial fight. It
may be the railroad workers will decide
their debt has been paid In this -way.
None of Senatorial Candidates Lost. ,
Wilson scored repeatedly in the con
vention; in fact, none of the Senatorial
candidates have lost anything. Preston,
for example, gained the prestige that
follows a decided victory on platform
matters; Ankeny made himself solid with
the railroads, and Wilson played a good
all-around political game, ready to profit
from both men. Neither the railroads
nor McBrlde can And fault with him.
At the same time, he helped to nominate
a Congressman from Preston's home
county that will bo a drag upon his
strength In the Legislature, owing to the
prejudice against electing too many men
to Congress from the same locality. It
was his resolution that was telegraphed
to President Roosevelt pledging the latter
Washington's support In 190i. though an
other man was given credit, in theory,
for the promise. And Wilson, through
his control of Cushman, certainly saved
McBrlde.
Wilson Saves McBrlde In Spokane.
Speaking of this point recalls an un
published story of the Spokane conven
tion. It Is known now that McBrlde and
McGraw believed themselves beaten the
night before the convention when Wilson
suddenly appeared in their room and de
clared that if McBrlde persisted in his
fight he would go after him on the
ground that he was Interfering in lo'cal
politics. McGraw promptly calmed Wil
son by a statement that he was a Preston
man first, with Wilson as second choice.
McBrlde coincided with this explanation,
and Wilson promptly declared his hands
were off the commission fight. He left
the room and made arrangements to have
a commission resolution Introduced on
the floor of the convention, and that is
why Spokane Indorsed the commission.
Not at any time during the Tacoma con
vention did Wilson show any hostility
to McBrlde, yet he, at the same time,
received credit from the railroads
through the actions of his friends against
McBrlde's policy. And, at heart, it Is
thoroughly believed Wllsoa Is a railroad
man. '
The railroads- are not discouraged by
the outcome. They hold that nominees
for the Legislature will regard the In
structions from their county conven
tions; that men cannot be nominated and
then given a platform upon which to
stand. This Is likely to prove true and
the principal result of the platform will
be to embarrass the Republicans two
years hence when they are called upon
to explain their failure to enact legis
lation along the lines of that document.

SAY GOOD-BYE TO KAISER
AMERICA!? GENERALS QUIT SCENE
OF ARMY MANEUVERS.
Emperor Expresnc Ilimelf as Espe
cially Interested In Roosevelt, Lovr
and Andrew D. Wliltc.
BERLIN, Sep 12. Emperor William, In
saying good-bye' to Generals Corbln, Young
and Wood, today, remarked that he waa
especially Interested In three Americans.
He admired President Roosevelt unmeas
uredly. He admired hl3 versatility, cour
age, power for hard work and Insight into
the needs of his country. His Majesty
added that he watched Mayor Seth Low's
administration of New York because he
thought it important to the commercial
world that New York should be well gov
erned. The Emperor said he was also very
sorry Andrew D. White, the United States
Ambassador, was leaving his court. He
had the most cordial feeling for him per
sonally, because of the man he Is, and for
his services In fostering good will between
Germany and the United States. General
Corbln had an opportunity to. present Pres
ident Roosevelt's message about the St.
Louis Exposition, and Emperor William,
said he would see that Germany had a
good representation. "I will send you a
largo party," he added, pleasantly. His
Majesty sent some personal messages to
President Roosevelt through General Cor
bln, and asked to be remembered espe
cially to "Miss Alice," as he called Miss
Roosevelt.
i The Emperor conversed with each of the
Americans, and told them how much he
had enjoyed their visit. The farewell took
place on the field Just- after Emperor Will
iam returned from leading the cavalry
charge which concluded the maneuvers.
General Corbln and Earl Roberta both said,
In summing up their Impression of the
maneuvers, that the German Army Is the
most wonderful in the world.
"There may possibly be a difference
among military men." General Corbln said,
"as to certain details, but the army to
gether Is matchless." What pleased the
American General as much as anything
waa the spirit of the troops the love of
the private for the army.
In speaking to General Young of the pos
sibility of Prince Henry of Prussia's sec
ond visit to the United States, .Emperor
William sold Prince Henry might go next
April, when the, statue of Frederick the
Great, presented by His Majesty to the
United States, is unveiled at Washington,
although the Prince's sea duties might
prevent this. Field Marshal von Walder
see told the Americans that he hoped next
year to see them In the United States.
The American officers left Berlin to
night. General Corbln. Lieutenant-Colonel
John A. Johnston, General Young and
Lieutenant McCoy went to Dusseldorf.
Thence they will go to Paris and frdm
there to London. General Wood and Lien
tenant McCoy have started for Dresden.
Thence they will travel in Austria.
'CHINA WANTS RUSSIA TO ACT
Determination of Ciar to Remain In
Mnnchnria Not to Its Liking-.
PEKIN. Sept. 12. The Chinese Govern
ment Is disturbed at the apparent deter
mination of Russia to delay the restora
tion of Manchuria. It asserts that Rus
cia promised to evacuate Neu Chwang
and return the Manchurian section of
the Pekin-Neu Chwahg Railroad when
the Chi section of the line was returned
by Great Britain.
Members of the Imperial government
are frequently In conference with Paul
Lesisar, Russian Minister to China, and
urging upon him the fulfillment of Rus
sia's promises. The refusal of) Russia to
co-operate In restoring in the British sec
tion of JPekln the Neu Chwang Railroad
Is delaying the return of that section of
the line. .
Chu Hung Che, the member of the for
elsm board who was responsible for the'
tillcged error, as a result of which the
llkln was declared to have been abol
ished, has resigned his post because ho
has been accused of Ignorance. The Em
press Dowager has refused to accept his
resignation.
BRITAIN SET ON RECIPROCITY.
Further Extcnnlon Secured of Treat
len Pending: With America.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. To save what
ever chanco might remain of the approval
of the pending reciprocity treaties by the
next Congress, the British Government
has been steadily extending the period al
lowed for the final ratifications of each
of the treaties which have been drafted
by Mr. Kasson and are now pending on
the executive calendar of the Senate. To
day, Mr. Ralkcs, the British Charge of
the Embassy, came, to Washington from
Newport for the purpose of securing 'an
other extension of the West Indian
treaty. "He cnllcd at the State Depart
ment, and with Mr. Adee, the acting Sec
retary. of State, signed" an article amend
atory to the treaties, In the case of Ja
maica, British Guiana, Turks and Caicos
Islands, extending for six months the
period allowed for the exchange of rati
fications. The amendment wlil conse
quently carry the treaties along as pend
ing business before the Senate until next
Spring.
Mr.. Ralkes made an appointment with
Mr. Adee. acting Secretary of State, to
receive Sir Robert Bond, the Newfound
land Premier, who is now in Washington.
Sir Robert has not disguised his purpose
of taking steps to ascertain what can be
done toward the negotiation of a reol
proclty arrangement between Newfound
land and the United States.

bullder's Interest in forest-covered public
lands, which are forest-covered because
Nature furnishes the conditions of moist
ure In the soil which causes It to pro
duce trees. We have an honest, outspoken
man for President, who stands for .such
an Irrigation policy as will Increase the
homes on all the (at present) arid plain
lands on which enough water 'can be
made to reach to produce food crops,
fruit and forest trees. We need some
thousands to come out and stand for the
forest and woodland home, as well as
the irrigated farm home.
Nearly If not quite half of the Ininicq.se
Cascade reserve Is properly classified by
the Geological Surveys as woodland, and
there are numerous positions In It rich In
productive power, under a Winter cli
mate less severe than much of New Eng
land, New York and Pennsylvania. Why,
then, should It be segregated from the
highest human use? Trees conserve the
How of springs and rivers, we are told In
support of the reservation policy. Who,
Mr. Editor, has written a book in demon
stration of this claim? Common observa
tion Indicates that the pine tree on the
mountain Is nurtured by moisture from
mother earth just as Is the prune tree
of Irrigated orchards. As to the Blue
Mountains of Oregon, their valleys are
filled with homes, and there are enough
farm homes on their uplands to prove
that wherever the yellow pine grows and
the land Is not rocky, farms can be and
in time will be made. Many If not most of
the settlers located In the beautiful val
leys and upland slopes are so located be
cause they love the wooded uplands bet
ter than the open, treeless plains. We
have evidence all around us this season
that the untruthful charge raised to give
birth to this reserve policy against the
shepherd and his flock was a false cry-
Fore3t fires are "burning gold," and
precious little can be done once a woods
fire Is started In a season like this. For
est guards are as helpless as other men
under such conditions', and about all that
can be done Is to find tho careless or ma
licious originator of the fire and give him
or her just punishment.
Tho writer, being a lover of trees and
flowing streams, has nothing but good
will for all efforts to plant and preserve
timber In all states where the natural
forests have been overcut and transmuted
Into gold or other wealth, but does not
believe the citizens of the Atlantic and
Middle West States, who have failed to
maintain the grand and valuable hard
wood forests, have by their waste earned
a moral right to establish an - oppressive
policy over the timber districts of the
younger states, upon an unproved as
sumption that trees preserve or produce
springs and rivers. J; MINTO.
