The call for the extra session of the fifty-ninth congress will compel the or ganization of the house of representa- tives three weeks earlier than it other wise would be organized, and if the de- lay in the organization of the house were all that would retard the legisla- tion that the president asks for, he would get some action inside of the three weeks before the beginning of the regular session. It is practically a foregone conclusion that your Uncle Joe" Cannon will be reelected speaker and the old officers of the fifty-eighth congress also reelected. So far as the democratic minority is concerned, there is not the shadow of a doubt that the Hon John Sharp Williams of Missis- sippi will again be the caucus nominee for speaker. which carries with it the floor leadership during the life of the fifty-ninth congress. and there could not be better selection. The record made by MT Williams as the floor lead CT in the fifty-eighth congress was an enviable one and deserves the highest consideration at the hands of the na- tional democracy.

The weakness of nations presumably strong may be concealed in time of peace, but when war tests their strength exposure is inevitable Great Britain was the first to have the inher- ent weakness of her boasted military strength exposed by war with an in ferior power in South Africa. which in it's beginning was looked upon as hav- ing naturally but one end and that a short, sharp one. Russia is the next to have her reputation as the menace to all Europe crushed like an egg shell by the little brown men of Japan It would have been infinitely better for both nations had their conditions been made known to them before mistaken confidence led them to undertake tasks which they were unfit to grapple with. This unpleasant though necessary duty has been undertaken by Lord Roberts, who with the blunt frankness of sol dier and an honest man tells his coun- trymen plainly that the army of Great Britain is unfit for war. These are times when national prestige is being put to the test. s7arn 7f fafnW ~-H

Secretary Bonaparte has decide

Secretary Bonaparte has decided that the employees at the Washington navy yard cannot be allowed the GUS tomary half holiday on Saturdays dur ing the summer months, says an ex- change. This decision. which speaks well for the usefulness of the men and of the high value which is placed upon their services. will nevertheless be a disappointment 10 many a tired worker who heretofore has been privileged tO snatch few hours from his weekly toil and put himself in respectable trim for a proper observance of the Lord s day. Meanwhile, Mr B0nsparte. who is unable to spare his men a single mo ment from their work. finds no diff culty in joining his family who are rusticating in the town of Lee. Mass. Presumably he will remain with them as long as he pleases- From this it may TessOnsbly be inferred that the presence of the secretary Of the navy is of less consequence in Washington than is the constant attendsnce Of in- dustri0us toiIers who ply their humble tasks st bench and forge. The enc mics of Mr B0naparte have declared that he would be of 10 use in the navy department. His willingness to absent himself al a time when his workmen cannot be spared from duty indicates that he considers himself very unim- po-taut parsonage

Is Harry Evans, sang What a Friend
 We Have in Jesus" with such amazing pathos and sweetness that his hearers were charmed. Mir Rockefeller, who presumably is ignorant of the fact that the devil has always enjoyed a monop- oly of good music, was touched to the heart, and cried like baby When school was dismissed he asked the young vocalist what he was doing for a living. On learning that the boy was prostituting his divine talent the oil magnate said: Cancel all contracts. I will have you educated will have your silver voice trained for better ser vice, and will support your mother while this is being done" The offer was accepted on the spot, and hence forth Master Evans, as the protege of the richest man in America, will re- ceive such musical instruction as his talent deserves. The incident. says one writer, places Mir Rockefeller in a new and better light before the world. Viewed from the common standpoint of humanity, his vast benefactions to great institutions are insignificant in comparison with his generous recogni- tion of a poor boy struggling against heavy odds. The public is quick to ap- preciate benevolence of this sort Here tofore it has looked upon Mir Rockefel- Ter as a monster with pocket to be tapped Perhaps in time it may learn to recognize him as a human being with a heart to be touched.

QOn0 TO 0COnOmlZS anu CufIdlI lu6 eA-
pense Money can now be borrowed in
large sums, well secured for from
per cent to per cent interest. When
the rate of taxation in a city is as
much as the rate of interest on money,
there is something wrong in the man
agement of the municipality. 1t is
time the people of Seattle should be-
gin to wonder what is the matter.
Water Plant.
The Republican party, under the
laws of Washington, constructed, in
this city, the Cedar River Water Sys-
tem In every platform put out by the
Republican party before and since the
construction of that system, whenever
the water system has been mentioned,
it was stated and pledged to the peo-
pie that the plant should be economic
ally administered and water furnished
to the people at the lowest possible
alton of the plant. The people should
get their water at cost. The pledge has
not been carried out. Without going
back to all of the years, it is suffi-
cient to call your attention to the facts,
that in 1904, the receipts for water
rent were $436, 6,55775; the disburse-
ment $319,87313; leaving a surplus of
$116,684.62. In 1908, on page of the
Comptrollers Annual Report under
the head of Transfers, it shows the
transfer from the water fund to the
general fund to be $115, 100000, so that
for the two years, there has been col
lected a surplus of $230,0O0.OO. That
is more than one-third as much as the
levy of taxes for the city expenses for
the year 1904.
In the case of City Savings & Loan
Association VS.. City of Topeka, 20
Wallace, 655, the Supreme Court of the
United States, in regard to the taking
of excessive taxes, says: ''To lay with
one hand the power of the government
on the property of the citizen, and with
the other hand to bestow it upon ia
vored individuals to aid private for
tunes, is none the less robbery be-
cause it is done under the form of law
and is called taxation"
To take from the citizens $230,00000
in two years in excess of the amount
the Cedar River Water System, is in
it is taken by force. The plant should

the use, d1Str1DuJ1On ana price InofoOl,
to construct, condemn and purchase,
acquire, add to, maintain and operate
cable, electric and other railways
within the corporate limits of cities
and towns for the transportation OF
freight and passengers, with full pow
er to regulate and control the use and
operation thereof, and to fix, alter.
regulate and control the fares and
rates to be charged thereon. In ad-
dition, the cities are given the right
to own their own water plants. By an
examination of the statutes, it will be
seen that the State of Washington, in
1897 took advance ground and pre-
ceded most of the other states in Sc
curing legislation so that municipal1-
ties might own and operate the public
utilities. Under the statutes OF the
state, and the charter OF the city, we
have full power and authority to give
to the people of this city all of their
public conVenienceS at cost. When we
fail to do this, we are not carrying out
the principles for which the govern
ment was formed. This municipality
was intended to be, and it should be,
government "of the people, for the
people, and by the people" We can
hardly say that, of late years at least,
it has been government "of the peo-
pie, for the people, and by the peo-
ple" On account of political rings, on
account of jobbers and political
pirates, the rights of the people have,
to a certain extent, been taken from
them. Men whom the public should
delight to honor have been false to
the people of this city, and have
schemed and worked against the in
terests of the people of the munich
pality.
There are some matters that | want
to call your particular attention to,
that are wrong and should be righted.
Taxes.
The Comptroller of this city, in his
report ending December 81, 1908, est1-
mated the amount necessary to be
levied for the year 1904, at $741, ,7O3.97,
which was necessary to be raised by
general taxation. According to the
last report of the County Auditor, the
amount of state and county taxes for
the year 1904, was $1,011, ,761.03; max
