That's a mighty big thing, the
merger of the three largest bank
ing institutions in Seattle. With
deposits of $25, 900, ZOO and a
capitalization of $4,000, 900 the

population of Seattle and its in
creased Importance as a fnan-
cial center necessitate larger fl
nancial institutions" Of course
the economical side of the mer-

ton there being a great saving
in a managerial way. If better
services to the public are rem
dered, then the consolidation
readily commends itself to the
business interests of the North

Harvey w Scott

The death Of Colonel Harvey w
Scott, editor-in-chief and principal
owner OF the Portland Oregonian.
strikes one Of the strong forces from
the field of American journalism. He
belonged to that school of newspaper
men whose faith was strong in the
virtue and power of a sane. conserv-
alive and untrammeled press and he
nodded the Oregonian along those
lines, making it a potent factor in up
building and developing tas physical
resources Of Oregon and the Pacific
slope.
His was a virile, vigorous, dominant
personality, which was felt through
his paper. So far as his influence ex-
tended it was exerted against extreme
radicalism in politics and business
alike. He was student of men and
events, and weighed both in the bal
ance of the past as well as the future
a rule of practice which enabled him
generally to arrive at the truth and
the proper estimate Of commercial
social and political reforms, which in
the last few years. fitted SO fast
across his vision. His influence
through his newspaper was felt far
outside the boundaries Of his OWL
state; his kind of journalism has been
instrumental in counteracting the
baleful tendencies of that newer spur
ious variety which has done SO much
harm In the last decade and more.
Colonel Scott was q PIONEER in th'
far west, He knew the country, iti
people and their problems, and he
gave the best there was in him to al
of these. His life was spent contin
uousIy in journalism, save few years
in political office at Portland. He wal

Hoops and Hobbies.

Woman has had as much difficulty
in striking a medium between the ex-

nently locating the waist line. Some
years ago the proper molds Of fashion
In skirts were the hoops, while today
they are the hobbies. The whole
tnut of style has been run, from
ore extreme to the other. and yet, SO
far as the uninitiated can discern, our
fair ones are no nearer the happy me-
dunn than were their mothers and
grandmothers thirty and fifty years

The Danger Point.

Speaking OF the constitutional
amendment which is submitted for an
expression Of the voters Of Nebraska
this year, the Lincoln Journal says:
This amendment will be adopted or re-
jected not At the election. bat At the pri-
mary. Under the system Of amending
the state constitution BY party action
e IL virtually impossible to adopt an
amendment unless the primary authorizes
all straight votes" TO be counted IN Its
favor This constitutional item is one,
therefore. that the public-spirited citizen
cannot afford to slight.
Although technically wrong, the
Journal is correct as to practical re-
suits inasmuch as the vote on the
amendment at the primary will deter
mine it's fate in the election more GER
talnly than the vote on a candidates
seeking nomination. For adopting
constitutional amendments we have,
to all intents and purposes, substi-
tuted the primary for the election,
and in 80 doing substituted minority
for majority rule. II only three votes
were cast In each party column on the
constitutional amendment as printed
on the primary ballot and two of them
were for and one against, it would
carry the amendment in the election
Just as surely and as safely as would

ticipating in the primary. The con-
stitution Of Nebraska, which is the
fundamental law of the state, can be
changed under our new system OF
straight party ballots almost as easily
as an ordinary statute or city ordi-
nance, and much more easily than we
can vote bonds or modify a franchise
to use our streets.
The question which this condition
suggests is, II we get the initiative
and referendum, will we have the
straight party ticket scheme incor-
porated into it7

Spain and the Vatican could come
to q speedier settlement of their issue
If the Carlist pretender to the throne,
Don Jaime. were out Of their way. He
is apparently obstructing progress to-
ward an adjustment without making
the least headway for his own cause.
His cause has very little TO it and It
would seem that the Vatican were ex-
ceedingly wise in declining to accept
his aid or influence toward creating a
revolt and uprising against the king.
The Vatican, moreover, has been dis
playing a very adroit hand in the later
diplomatic intercourse with Spain, un-
questionably gaining popular favor by
its emphatic disapproval OF every SEM
blance of physical disorder. 1t has
required some. very firm influence to
stay the passion of the zealots and so
long as this can be done, both by Spain
and the church, the world may hope
for a proper settlement Of the diff
eulties.
Repealed at Rome by the Vatican,
and in Spain by his own partisans in
his revolutionary plans. Don Jaime is
not likely now to WELD any potent in
fiuence in the controversy. but he is
quite likely to bring to an ignominious
end his own selfish ambition to sup
plant Alfonso on the throne and re-
install the old CariIst regime in the
ancient kingdom, and such an outcome
must be considered in the light OF an
ultimate victory for the better ele-
ments which. We may believe. are but
working out the destiny OF the govern
ment into a stronger and freer people,
nearer the goal of a republic. Rep
