• The celebration of Armistice Day occurred Thursday,
marking the second anniversary of the day America as
well as the Allied World breathed a sigh of relief and
CLOSE 'LOCAL E.XPRESS OFFICE
! •
W. B. Staniford of the Amercian
Railway Express Co., was in town
Friday in the attempt to tind some
lone to take the local agency who
had sufficient room to store the num-
erous bulky packages received here.
Because of delay in removing ship-
lments the present qualers were too
small.
1 No one being found who couhl and
would take the agency the office was
closed on November 5th. Hereafter
all express matter will be delivered
either by the Tacoma or Olympia
office. Express notices can be deliv-
ered either to the purser of the boat
for Tacoma or stage drivers for
Olympia. While it is a considerable

more of our boys would be sacrificed in the great slaugh- the only service possible at this time.
WILL ASK ACT TO JAIL
THE BOOTLEGGERS.
The state legislature, which c0n:
venes in January, will be asked to
enact a more drastis prohibition law
despite the fact that the federal stat-
ute's are designed to make all states
bone dry.
Donald A. McDonald, federal pro-
'hibition director for this state, has
taken the initiative in the movement,
and he has announced that the legis-
lature will be reque,sted to pas a
law that will send to jail every per-
son convicted of liquor selling. Mc-
i Donahl has enlisted the aid of George
D. Conger, of Seattle, secretary of
the state Anti-Saloon lea.gue, and
Fred Shoemaker, commlssmner of
public safety, in the movement.
"As British Columbia voted wet, a

:for the future.
Armistice Day will grow with future organization
and encouragement for the young men who have fought
the country's battles in the near past and are to carry
on the work of their fathers for the future. With such
a baptism of service the country will be safe in their
hands.
One of the first great problems to be £aced by the
new administration is that of immigration, and the
sooner the open door is pushed to the narrowing point
the better for the country. Other first issues are tariff,
taxes and a working agreement with our allies.

'! : READY FOR ADJUSTMENTS
The ordinary citizen needs no particular credit for
his foresight in preparing for the change in conditions
sure to follow the era of inflation in all things the country
over. Doubtless such have 'prepared for more settled
conditions when a dollar will bring a full dollar of return,
whether in labor or needful supplies. While there may
• be some unfair things to follow in the wake of readjust-
ments it is hopeful to feel'that the country is in the hands
of an administration, every department of which will be
on the job and co-operating to make conditions for all
as equitable as possible, and that the interests of the
public as ultimate consumer will have full share of atten-
tmn. If nature takes its course in the form of' supply
and demand and without artificial stimulant, things will
not go far wrong nor long wrong.

According to the'final figures ttie electoral college
has been placed at 404 Republican, leaving but 127, the
Southern chain of state, for Cox. The Senate is Repub-
lican by 19 and the House by 151, the latter rather more
majority: than the Republicans care for. It assures,
however,, that the: Republican program will be carried
out, and the country hopes that the new administration
will prove equal to the heavy task ahead of keeping the
balance as well as the peace an d prosperity of the people.
While Mason County gave the Repu)lican electors
997 votes, the Democrats 383 and the Farmer-Laborites
351, the voters did not forget the other divisions on the
ba"lot. The straight Socialists found 25 supporters, the
Prohibitionists 19 and the Socialist-Labor candidate re-
ceived but four votes in the county•

THE BEST WAY OUT
In spite of what little Mason County could do to
boost for the Carlyon referendum, and incidentally boost
f,r its best interest, the measure was swamped over the
state. We are not particularly concerned whether a
ccaent trust was behind the bill oran asphalt trust put-
ting up the funds to fight it, but we are Concerned over
the fact that Mason County is bound for a quarter-mil-
lion dollars to hard finish its highway, and must look to
its representative to find the way out.
According to late returns from North Dakota Gov.
Fraz.;er, the Nonpartisan candidate for re-election, had
nosed out his Democratic opponent, O'Connor, and also
Ladd, candidate for senator, won out With the returns
