In some 'states under other guises, hi some I states it comes in as the Triple Al- liance and in Oregon it appears as the Land and Labor party. What- ever its cognomen may be, it is still the same old party in principle, and advocates the same disastrous ideas that prevail in North Dakota. Undeniably this aggregation seeks to enter the political field in the state of Washington. In Seattle re- cently it appeared as the Triple Al- liance, and it may not be generally known, but organizers are now at work along these lines in Lewis coun- ty, or will be in a few days.

Don't forget the dance given at Even intelligent people seem to like the system. An English lady whom we know, who has herself spent some time in America, was telling us about her brother, who is the manager of a factory in Bffalo. She visited him and went through the factory. "The men," she said, "think he is just about right, but l I don't like your American; ideas;' they didn't even touch their hats to him when he went through." Many mptimists thought that the war would change all this, but so far as I'can see, it has not. To my mind the existence of a class system is a very serious obstacle to the pro- gress of any nation. It is a vicious circle. Ignorance and consciousness of inferiority make them accept the situation. Of course, in England to- day, it is possible for an individual to rise above his  class, and to go far, but this is a trifling mitigation, not a solution. In Americat equality of opportunity is' at least an ideal whose force all admit. Here, it has not even that status. Ob.viausly, the one solution of such a prbblem i education, aml the only I way to keep such a question from I arisifig in our conntry (there are l signs of it in the East) is more edu- I cation. J.H.

STUMPAGE FOR SALE which to "step on 'er" occasionally have gone' glimmering for this year, it is up to the County Board to put the highways in as good condition as 10ossible to withstand the heavy wear in pros)ect from a greatly increased traffic this season. Gravel and the drag in frequent use during the spring season will do much toward strengthening the roads for heavy duty. TO REVOLUTIONIZE POWER The Journal has received a con- soling letter from a gentleman in Lewis County, who tells us not to worry over the prospective loss of our power site, becats%he has in- vented a hydro-electric pbwer system which makes it possible now to har- ness and generate electric power frofn any body of water, such as rives, lakes, creeks or wells, without the need of special power sites, natural water falls or dams, and there is still enough water in Mason County t) supply the needs of its people for a lifetime. Incidentally he •requires a little financial assistance to perfect his patents and make demonstrations, in i.eturn for which he will assign an . interest in his invention. We pass on th information with the sugges- tion that there is a fortune, in the idea, which will some day revo.lution- tze power and industry.
