Puget Sounds Commercial Importance

That the State of Washington in
general and Puget Sound in partic-
ular are rapidly coming OF the front
in commercial Importance is shown
by the annual report of the SECRETARY
OF the treasury, just issued. Fig
ures do not lie and it should be a
source of pride and much satisfac-
ton to The people of this great COM
monwealth to known that the Puget
Sound collection district has taken
the high place in commercial impor-
lance that it has.
In the number of vessels entering
and clearing in the foreign trade.
Puget sound takes second place, being
exceeded only by New York, with
an excess of 8,134 to the credit of
the metropolis 1t is worthy Of note
IN this connection that the local dis
trlct has maintained this position
near the head of the list for the past
four years.
Puget Sound ranks fourth on the
list devoted to the issuance Of docu-
menus to vessels. In other words

Merry Christmas.

christmas is almost here again;
the happiest season of the year, gen.
orally speaking, for both young and
old Don't call it Xmas, as many,
probably unthinkingly, do, leaving
out the name of Christ, only to
cheaper the meaning of His birth.
Remember the significance of the
word and call the name Of this glad
some day by it's right name. 1t is
Christmas, not Xmas, and this glad
some Yuletide should be thought of
and called by it's only proper name.
q It is the islanders sincere wish that
all may prosper and thoroughly
enjoy this happy day and that the
horn of plenty may be filled to the
brim for every honest and well
meaning soul in this, our land of
prosperity and plenty.

last Chance for Republican lawmakers

As the approaching short session
of the Sixty-frst Congress will give
the Republicans a brief control of
the national legislation for three
months before the Democrats come
into power, some of the Washington
correspondents are telling of elabo-
rate schemes for taking the wind
out of Democratic sails by doing all
the necessary reforming and revising
before the Democrats take hold.
Certain editors are demanding imme-
diate Congressional action upon such
important matters as the parcels
post, the wool schedules, ship SUBJ
sidy, and currency reform. Indeed.
says the New York Commercial, if
this much-advised Congress does a
one-hundredth part of the things
that it is being urged to do during
the short life now left to it, "the
achievement will be a wonderful
one." The Providence Journal
(Ind.) sees little chance Of any such
bid for fame by these lawmakers;
it takes them Several days to settle
themselves comfortably at the Capt.
toll, and, almost before they know
ii, it is time to adjoun for the Christ
mas recess. Therefore,
Little serious business can be
anticipated before the reassembling
in January, from which time the
day of final adjournment. March 4,
is only about two months away.
"Of course Congress must pass
the ordinary appropriation bills.
These amount, roughly speaking to
a billion dollars. The government
must have the wherewithal to main
tain itself, though the heavens fall.
But beyond these routine measures it
will be difficult to enact any large
legislative schemes. The President
is said to be anxious to push through
certain conservation laws, and may
be able to do so; but it can be only
by an approach to unanimous con-
sent. There are abundant oppor-
tunities for filibustering at the pre-
sent time. The Democrats will
naturally be more aggressive than
formerly, having received their re-
cent mandate from the people; the
Republicans. on the other hand,
may be inclined to sit back and let
their record stand practically as it

Prohibitions Gains and losses.

Happily for each, both liquor and
temperance journals manage to ex-
tract comfort from the recent cleo
tons. Thus the Cincinnati National
Bulletin, in behalf of the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associ-
alton, thanks the public for its s'vote
Of confidence" while The American
Issue, the Anti Saloon League organ
published in Westernville, Ohio, de-
clares that ''in the recent battlel Of
the ballots the trenches of the Liquor
Trust are filled with the wounded,
while the columns Of the temperance
forces have not been halted as they
move forward to win greater vic
tories" While the liquor organs
point triumphantly to the fact that
no state was added to the dry"
column, the temperance papers are
equally impressed by the fact that no
prohibition state renowned the
faith and returned to the ranks Of
the '.wets.'
The issue Of state wide prohibition
was specifically before the voters in
Florida. Missouri. Oregon, Utah,
and Oklahoma. The election did
not changathe classification Of these
five states, the first four remaining
wet and Oklahoma dry. This
TACT however, considered in relation
TO the returns in other states, seems
to lend itself to more than one inter-

wifi the Women Vote

Washington is the fifth state OF
this great nation to extend the right
of suffrage to women. The success
of the amendment enfranchised more
women than ever before received
political equality at one time in this
country. The population of Wash
ington is but little less than the COM
bined population of the other four
equal suffrage states, Colorado, Ida
no, Wyoming and Utah. In Wash
ington there are 1 ,141 800 and in
the four states above mentioned
1,643, 1884. In these it is estimated
that there are 100000 enfranchised
women, approximately 100000 be
ing in Colorado. The number
of male electors in this state
is at least one-sixth the total
population, or 190,331. At the
general election in 1908 the num-
Der of votes cast for all candi-
dates for governor was 1874
The states population has increased
since that time and it may be possible
there are 100000 men who have
the right to vote. There are more
males than females in the western
states but giving a liberal allowance
for this difference, it is safe to
assume that there are 10000 women
in the state who can go to the polls
if they choose and asst their votes
as they see fit. Will all do this OF
will a great majority stay at home

ercise this right have voice in die.

question as such.
