Strictly speaking it could hardly
be called a party though for the
time being it is necessary for us to
adopt the name and follow TO some
degree the course OF a political
party.
The basic principles OF the Union
Reform party is that the govern
ment should be conducted by the
people directly without interference
Of parties, party conventions and
party platforms and party bosses.
The party seeks to obtain power
by the election Of it's candidates,
simply that it may turn that power
over to the whole people to whom
it rightly belongs When it shall
have accomplished this it will have
deprived itself, and all other po
litical parties OF power and will

GOT ONE EYE OPEN.

If the immigration law is being
faithfully enforced and there is no
evidence to the contrary, and the
assertions of the federal officials that
it is, the coming into the country
by the hundreds Of japanese coolie
laborers is sufficient evidence that
the law should be amended.
Travellers over the various rail-
way lines in the coast states state
that majority of the laborers seen
are japanese coolies. That they are
coming into the country by the
hundreds. the records of Tacoma
and other ports will show that too
many are coming is recognized by
all citizens who have the walfare

\ nation can not be made nor
marred by few weeks Of war.
When the Roetgen rays are
thrown upon the subject, old iacts
are but shown in g new light
The noble courage and bravery
OF our voulen,eers, the splendid
skill and effectiveness Of our naval
officers, the firm foundation upon
which our civilization has been
reared and our national conscious
ness and oneness. Can We believe
that war has created any OF this?
Have they not been growinga and
becoming stronger longer than any
OF us have lived? We can not
help but believing that our present
honorable standing among the
nations OF the earth is the splendid
heritage OF many years Of peace.
We have become conscious of
them only because danger has
forced us to take stock and see Just
how we stand. \ realizing sense
OF the grand work a century OF
freedom has done for the American
people, is forced upon us. Free
dom slowly broadens down from
precedant to precedant," in time
OF peace, not when war is rampant.
1t would be well for us to look at
these matters a little m ore in de-
tail. Iii is not difficult TO reco gnize
the power Of training everywhere
except in our public service, which
are still in political shackles. Ii
We want a thing we'll done, we
alw IS hunt up men who know
how to do it: our navy and the
splendid victories it has achieved,
has taught US the value OF skill,
but in the case OF our army, this
lesson has been reversed. Why?
Be:ause the war horse of politics
with his tinsel staff has lead to
death and disease the brave volun.

cried out to Abreham Lincoln.

For the same reason we now ask:

may lean? Are all tle common
ones SO grand, and all the titled

If things were as they should be
and titles and training 60 together
as would be the proper thing, it
would not be necessary to ask this
question, but even blind man
can see how the matter is and has
been going ever since the beginning

appears to one who does not look

When Fitzhue Lee suffers him

feel that Old lines of division exists

romatic drama OF the most stirring
type, founded upon historical facts

pany OF acknowledged ability.
The story which is one OF intense
interest throughout, is taken from
events which occurred on the
Franch frontier OF Spain early in
in the eighteenth century. There
amidst the wilds Of the pyrennes
and at the Regents Court in Paris
the scene is laid. The characters,
which are faithfully drawn, are
