really are, however. John Mitchell in a
fNw words sums up the wants Of the
people when he says:
The American workman wants an
eight-hour day. He wants half holi-
day on Saturday. He wants Sunday
of rest and recreation He wants a
home. He wants comfortable surround
ings. He wants an income sufficient to
clothe his family and feed them. He
wants to educate his children. And
aside from that he wants an income
which, with reasonable frugality, will
be enough to provide, for maintaining
him in sickness and old age"
There is nothing very awful about
that, is there? Nothing that any fair
minded man could deny is right and
just. Accidentally the most avari-
cious employer of labor admits it's all
right but when the power of organiza
tion is invoked to bring these things
about, he finds his toes tramped on and
let's out yell about the arrogant de-
mands of labor"

true piety and reverence the Christian

creep into fraternal SOCIETIES, yet we
freely acknowledge the uplifting power

form of human activity since the world

so while the world stands. We would
be ignorant, indeed, to condemn the
whole human race because a part of it

FIREMEN FOUND
POWDER MINE

Two hundred pounds of powder
piled up in the shack used as a
blacksmith shop at the west end of
the Sprague street trestle was
found last night by the fire depart
ment, which responded to a call
caused by broken trolley wire
which killed the horse of a farmer.
The blacksmith shop is on a
line with the sidewalk and is in an
extremely dangerous position
where the powder might be ex-
ploded should runaway team
crash into the building. The mat
ter was reported to Commissioner
Witherspoon this morning by
Chief Myers of the fire depart
ment.
The commissioner will take up
the matter at once and see to it
that the violation of the city or
dinance is stopped at once. The
ordinance places the maximum
amount of dynamite which may be
kept in one place within the city
at 20 pounds. No arrest has been
ordered, but future violations will
result in arrests.

YOU JUST WATCH
THE NORWEGIAN

On proof of loss Hanson proposes
to hire the attorneys to bring a
thousand or SO suits against the
stockholders Of The Meadows un-
der the gambling act, which will
permit of the recovery of twice
the sum lost. This, Ole thinks, will
keep The Meadows people, so busy
for a little time that they will be
tickled to death to let his bill go
through. emergency clause and
all.
"You just watch the Norwe-
gian,' was the defiant advice
hurled at the senate when they
chopped his emergency clause
out, and now he's ready to put a
stick of legislative dynamite under
anything that gets in his way.
The suit proposition was con.
ceiyed in about two minutes after
Ole was stung. What he has &C
complished in the time since in the
way of foreboding fates for the op.
position is quite beyond conjecture.
Whatever he does it will be some
thing spectacular.

RUTH MAY LOSE
OLYMPLA CAPITOL

member he has CALLED the pro-
gressive members on the floor be-
yond endurance and they are about
to retaliate.
If Olympia should ever be in
danger of losing the capitol by rea-
son of Ruth's activities, he would
be retired to private life so sud-
denly that it would blister him.
Olympia minus the capitol would
be a sorry spectacle, and none
know it better than the residents
of Thurston county.
When the bill to appoint this
commission is sent in it will be
notice to Thurston county that
Senator Ruth has to be good. Ruth
will either experience a change of
heart or make a fight for it, and
If he fights it will be not only for
his political life, but the financial
life of Olympia.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 4.-Ole Hanson
is off the reservation and running
amuck. Entirely reckless of politi-
cal consequences he has q half
dozen schemes for bringing the
senate to time and incidentally get
back at the trace track people.
Hanson as chairman of the house
committee on banks served notice
on one or two senators interested
in banks to look out for him, and
they voted to bring his bill back
from the judiciary committee The
senate rules requiring a two thirds
vote on the emergency clause beat
Ole out, but Ole is never short of
resources. His latest plan is to
bring suit against the King Coun-
ty Fair association to have its
charter revoked on the ground
that it is an admitted nuisance
and operating in violation of law.
After this is started he proposes
to advertise in the papers of the
state for the names of people who
have lost money at The Meadows.

CLEANING UP THE
DIRTY SPOTS

Joseph Scheika, proprietor of the
Welcome saloon, near Bernard
street on Riverside avenue, was
taken in custody, together with
Maggie Miers, by Detective Pear
son last night on charge of va
grancy. The saloon keeper is
charged with having allowed dis
solute women to loiter about his
place of business, and the Miers
woman is a sample.
Nels Swanson, who a few
months ago paid a heavy fine to
the county after a conviction of
vagrancy in having conducted a
disorderly house, was again ar
rested last night by Detective Lis
ter on a similar charge. Dollie Ber-
lin and Ruth Linde, inmates of the
place, were also taken to the sta
ton on suspicion.

OPTION BILL
SCORES

OLYMPIA, Feb. 4.-The local
option bill of the Anti-Saloon
league won a victory in the house
this morning when Planners local
option bill was turned down by a
vote Of So to So. The house judi
ciary committee, to which was re-
ferred all local option bills, made
three reports this morning. A ma
jority report signed by eight men,
bers sent back the FalconerMc-
Masters bill without recommenda-
ton.
Palmer's bill excluding incor-
porated towns and cities from the
county unit plan came back with
Recommendation for passage sign
ed by five members. The remain
ing two members wanted the bill
excluding cities of the first class
only from county unit plan.
Both houses took no action in
the squabble over the race track
bill of yesterday. The status of
the bill is now as it has been pass
ed by the house with the ener-
gency clause and by the senate
without the clause. The probabili-
ties are that both houses will dead
lock over this clause.

WRANGLE OVER PILOTS

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 4.-The Port
land bill to abolish compulsory
pilotage consumed the time of the
house all forenoon. The present
system Of pilotage is champione0
by McCue. The bill was favorably
reported by a committee on COM
merce after full hearing. 1t under
takes to place the management of
shipping entering the Columbia
river on the same basis as Puget
Sound shipping.
The house passed a bill provid-
ing at least $500 for each school
district in the state. 1t will pass
the senate. In the senate new bills
were introduced for publishing SUI
preme court reports and to regu-
late long distance telephones.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 4.-To take the
capitol from Olympia and set it
down on spot on Puget sound be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma is the
program OF a coterie Of senate and
house members. 1t Is quite likely
that within a few days a bill will
be introduced in either house in
structing the governor to appoint a
commission for the purpose of
studying the question of selecting
a site and reporting at the next
session of the legislature.
The new capitol city, according
to the gentlemen behind this plan,
will be in a district of itself, SINH
lar to the District of Columbia, and
will have that form of government.
This will take the capitol out Of
politics.
Different persons in the past
have advanced many reasons for
the removal of the capitol from
Olympia, and the actions of Presi-
dent Ruth of the senate, member
from Thurston county, has crystal
lied this animosity towards Olym.
pia to the point of definite action.
1t is also part of the general
scheme if this plan is adopted to
work to bring all the state institu-
lions to this new district, including
penitentiary, reform schools, in
sane asylums. This, however, is
only tentative feature. The main
object appears to be to teach
Thurston county and Olympia a
lesson. The threat to remove the
capitol from Olympia has always
been a club over the men who rep
resent ThurstOn county, but none
has ever reached the obnoxious
pre- eminence of Senator Ruth.
Ruth organized the senate, and Or
ganized against some of his
friends. He played Indian" and
has continued these tactics, trying
to block at every step local option,
the race track bill and all progress
sive measures. AS the presiding
