Most men who own watch think
they know all about it. They have
the number fixed in their minds in
case it is stolen. They could pick
it out from fifty other watches with
their eyes shut. But how many men
know that their watch is compass
and will tell north from south as &C
curately as it will tell the time Of
day? Stanley, the explorer, did not
know it until he had CROPPED his way
through the dark continent and met
a Belgian sailor on the coast. Ev-
cry watch is compass. If you point
the hour hand to the sun che
south is exactly half waybetween the
hour hand and the figure MI OF the
dial. Suppose, for instance, it is foul
o'clock. Point the hand indicating
four to the sun and the II on the
watch is exactly south. If it is
eight o'clock point the hand indi-
eating eight to the sun and the figure
X on the dial is due south. Nc
man need get lost if he carries
watch.

MIR. Lawrence's Candidacy

receive the support of the corporation
controlled newspapers of the state. an
l Will make my campaign by appeal
ing to the thoughtful voters who de.
sire a clean business administration
of all state affairs, devoid of ma.
chine politics"
In the above statement John c.
Lawrence, who recently resigned from
the state public service commission
to become progressive republican
candidate for governor, in letter to
The Tribune, outlines the manner in
which he will make his fight for the
governorship.
MIR. Lawrence further says: ''The
newspapers that are controlled by the
corporate interests will fight me and
fight me hard. They do not want a
state administration that they cannot
direct in the interests of their rorpor-
alton clients. | believe the state gov.
eminent should be conducted rs any
other we'll regulated business, and the
office of governor should not be used
to build a political machine for any
individual or any interests. =.
Certain newspapers of this state
propose to lay out all of the politics
and then drive the voters into line TO
support candidates for public office
who will protect the big interests. "
Having subscribed to the policies
and platform OF the progressive
Republican League | am certain of a
the opposition of these interests
but l shall continue to advocate
and work for the conduct of all state
affairs in a manner that will bring
the greatest good to the greatst num-
Der of people.
Il do not believe the people will
stand for any combination of newspa-
pers and corporations. The honest ".
press of the state will mould pub
lie opinion in the future. and any a
greement tending to name state Of
ficials and national representatives to
protect those who are seeking spec
ial privileges will not be tolerated.
The voters of the state of Wash
ington are not taking orders from
any set of men or small handful of
newspapers. and in the selection of
public officials they will be guided
by what is best for the entire state. >

CAUTION.

In play recently presented in a
Muskogee theater, one of the charac-
ters says Caution is the sediment
which is found in the-cup of life, after
the draught has simmered for years
over the fires of experience" You
just bet your suspenders it is. When
young fellow starts out with the
blessed enthusiasm of youth hammer
ing at white heat through his veins
he has little use for caution, is impati.
ent of restraint. totally lacking IN
Judgment, and expects to conquer the
world and bring it whimpering and
cowed to his feet, by the mere force of
his fiery personality. and the abso-
lutte certainty that he is right and that
the right sooner or later. must win.
That's when he is twenty. But wait,
Just wait till he is forty and YOU will
see him calm. cool, cautious. listening
modestly TO the opinions of men whom
in former years he would have impa'
tiently spumed, and even following
their advice, and actually winning his
battles by doing it, where he lost them
before. That's because he has drank
the bubbles of youth and immature
enthusiasm. from the surface of the
cup Of life, and got down to the sedi-
mont of solid matter, which has been
well cooked over the fires of often bit
ter experience, and the dose has sober
ed him. He has bumped the bumps,
