Z 8 Girls Want
Seattle Youth

(By United Press Leased Wire.C
SEATTLE, Oct. Fifteen
Philadelphia girls have written to
Jerry G.. Hille, young Seattle
business man, and they all say
they are just dying to come out to
Puget Sound and marry Jerry. But
Jerry says it's all a joke. Some
friend of Hille wrote a letter ask
ing for bride and signed Hille's
name to the letter. This was sent
to the chief of police in Philadel-
phia, who gave it to the newspa-
perS.

FINE PROFIT IN
CITY DOCK

No wonder the private dock
companies fought so hard against
the municipal dock project. The
business is a bonanza.
Supt. Halls August report
shows receipts of $1,95S.73 and
expenses but $761.70. This leaves
$1,19S.03 profit for the month.
One hundred and twenty thous-
and dollars is invested in the dock,
and the interest amounts to $6,-
$50, or about $500 a month. The
dock, therefore, is clearing up
over 5000 a month. Not at all
bad.
When the new dock is built 1t
is expected it will show even
greater revenues.

BUDDAHISNf.

1t must be said of Buddhism, how
ever, that it has left one indelible
mark all over India, China and the
East and that is the teaching of gem
tleness and kindness to one another
and to animals. Buddha taught that
life is but a prolonged endeavor to
escape from suffering, and that,
therefore, to cause others to suffer
is the unforgivable sin. By medita-
ton a man is to lose the sense of the
painfulness of life, and to earn some
mitigation, from the cycle through
which he must pass before reaching
Nirvana, where all rebirth ends at last
and one loses consciousness forever.
This creed is pure agnosticism, hold
ing that mans own acts alone make
up the tale of his faith.
Agnosticism everywhere throws a
man back upon himself, and every
where and always produces one of
two results. 1t makes men, as in IN
dia and China, pessimists-hopeless
helpless and without ambitions for
either their souls or their bodies; or
it makes men colossal egoists who
worship themselves. Nothing can ue
more portentous of evil to the race
than our agnostic democracies of the
west, which are putting man on ped
estal and waving the incense of eight
hours work. old-age pensions, no con-
scription, vote for each adult, state
support, and so on, before him.
1t was a moving spectacle, for ex-
ample, to all students of the ethnn
religions when Mr.. Keir Hardie, as
the exponent of western agnosticism
or man as his own god, came out to
India to preach this dostrine to the
Buddhist impregnated Indians, steep
ed in pessimism. They Immediately
dubbed him the king Of the Coolies"
and could not wrench their imagina-
tions to see how a man of no caste
could be worth initiating or follow
ing. The first flash of a picture that
will some day be a terrible conflict
between the yellow and the White
was revealed when the man who
cared everything for man and met
the men who care nothing for man,
and neither understood the other in
the least.-From Religion and Cas- e
in India" by Price Collier, in the
March Scribner.

WHY SUCH y TREATY.

In return for the administrations
support OF san Francisco for the Pa
mama exposition the people of Cali
fornia, or at least some of them, have
uaded off their right to object to the
admission of Japanese coolies to this
country. What will be the outcome
OF this bargain?
Since Japan has assumed an obli-
cation of honor to keep her laborers
at home it will require some time to
test the new treaty. 1t is evident
though that the new arrangement
bodies trouble for the Pacific coast,
No doubt the Japs will flock to this
country in greater numbers than in
the past. They will tend to drive the
American laborer from the construc-
ton camps and will enter into COM
petition with white men in other lines
of activity. They are already doing
this to a dangerous extent in Califor-
mia. White men cannot compete with
Japanese because the latter have a
standard of living that permits them
to exist at but slight expense.
Why is the Taft administration so
favorable to the admission of the
Japanese coolies that the president
was willing to trade his influence in
Locating the Panama exposition in
order to tie the hands of the Califor-
mans? Is the president afraid of the
mikado and wishes to await the COM
pletion of the big canal before fac
ing this issue in a firm and manly
way? Or has he listened to the plea
of railway magnates and others who
desire to secure cheap labor from
the orient?

SUMMER AFTERNOON.

CA Poem by Edith Wharton in the
March Scribner.)
Not all the wasteful beauty of the
year
Heaped in the scale of one consul
mate hour
Shall this outweigh: the curve of
quiet air
That held, as in the green sun-fluted
light
OF sea-caves qulvering in tidal lull,
Those tranced towers and long un-
ruined walls,
Moat-girdled from the worlds dis
solving touch,
The rook-flights lessening over eve
ming woods,
And, down the unfrequented grassy
slopes,
The shadows of old oaks contempla-
tive
Reaching behind them like the
thoughts of age.
High overhead hund the long Sussex
ridge,
Sun-cintured, as a beakers rim of
gold
Curves round its green concavity;
and slow
Across the upper pastures of the
sky
The clouds moved white before the
herding airs
That in the hollow, by the moated
walls,
Stirred not one sleeping lily from its
sleep.
Deeper the hush fell; more remote
the earth
Fled onward with the flight of cloud
and sun,
And cities strung upon the flashing
reel
OF nights and days. We knew no more
of these
Than the grey towers redoubling in
the moat
The image of bygone strength
transformed
To beauty's endless uses; and like
them
we felt the touch of that renewing
power
That turns the landmarks of mans
ruined toll
To high star-haunted reservoirs of
peace.
And with that sense there came the
deeper sense
OF moments that between the beats
of time,
May thus inspire in some transcend
ent air
The plentitude of being.

phase of the situation that l should
like to have seen mentioned at the
get together meeting. The relation or
the renter to the so-much-talked-o of
progress of Umatilla county. The
question is frequently asked of the
farmers union people, why don't
you do things? Why don't you take
part in the public enterprises that
are being exploited The district
fair, for instance, etc. Mr.. Smythe
said in his address, put your society
on a sound financial footing. Mr.
Gwinn cites us to the large number
of rich farmers in the vicinity.
The fact is that the wheat fields of
this county are passing into the hands
Of the renter almost entirely Every
year he is squeezed a little tighter.
For instance, he gets permanently
located, so he thinks, at least. Some
one comes along and raises the rent
on him. He moves on to the next
place that he can get or tries some
other locality
There is little chance for perma-
nent improvement under these con-
ditions for either the country or the
renter. He is little more than chat
tel, a mere pawn to be moved about
the board, or rather the wheat fields
Of the country. He couldn't do
things if he could afford it. He is
not fixed in one place long enough.
He is not identified with the best in
terests of the locality in which he
lives.
The Farmers Union in this partic-
ular region is mainly composed of
these men. They are making half
hearted effort to protect their own
interests, and that's about all. The
rich retired farmer, as rule, mas
no particular interest in our move
ments. In other places where condi-
tions are different, the union is do
ing things. And are making them
selves a power in the land. The ques-
ton is, are we drifting towards con-
ditions that exist and have existed In
ireland so long? And II so, what Is
the remedy. This is no personal
complaint, but facts that concern
| your country and your city more than
they do Yours truly,
L. d. EATON, a Renter.
