THE WALL Is BROiNEN.

Naturally THE WASHINGTON STAND
ARD is highly gratified over the passage
of the Lemon-Foshay franchise in its
amended form Wednesday night, be.
cause that act of the council fulfills
the STANDARDS contention throughout
the fight that Olympia should not
block the entrance of capital but
should welcome it.
We are glad that the financial forces
behind Mr.. Foshay will have an op-
portunity to invest here. We believe
the mere fact that Olympia has given
them that opportunity will be potent
factor in the citys constant develop
ment, for it will show the investing
world that when a man or set of men
want to invest money in Olympia
Olympia will let them do it.
Any enmities that may have been
aroused during the long fight for this
franchise will, we sincerely hope, be
now dissipated. Opposing interests
must clash at times, from the very ma.
ture of things, but the city that goes
ahead properly is the city whose resi-.
dents and business men are big enough
and broad enough to unite for con-.
mon progress, after the clash is over

MONROE BOARD TO GO
seattle Report Says Governor Lister
Has Asked for designations.

That Governor Ernest Lister has ask
ed for the designations of the members
of the board of managers of the Mon
roe reformatory and will turn over the
affairs of that institution to new
body on which the members of the
board of control will hold the balance
of power, is report given currency in
Seattle. Inasmuch as the three mem
bers of the board of control will con-
stitute a majority of the membership
on the reformatory board, Governor
Lister will do by indirection what he
could not do by Observation-Disclosures
the private board of managers for the
reformatory.
While there has been no official an
nouncement that the reformatory
change is to be made Immediately
news of the move has leaked through
sources that cannot be questioned. 1t
probably will be followed within q
short time by a formal announcement
that the old board members have vol
UNFAIRLY retired and that the executive
has worked out his new system of man
agement.
| The Monroe reformatory and its
board Of managers is legacy from the
Mead administration. During success
sive legislative sessions the board has
been strong enough to defeat all eff
forts to place the institution under thu
state board of control, but Governor
Lister believes he has solved that prob
lem.

THE NATTER OF RATES.

Every Notwithstanding editors, for
most editors are mortal is prone to
make mistakes. General Hazard Stew
ems, president of the Olympia Light &
Power company, in communication
published elsewhere in this issue, has
hit upon what he believes to have been
a mistake by the editor of THE WASH
INGToN STANDARD.
The franchise fight is over. The
STANDARD would prefer to drop any and
all of the questions raised in the con-
troversy and to treat all that has hap
pened as closed incident. But when
the editorial opinions of the STANDARD
are called in question as in this in
stance final word must be said.
Throughout his communication Cen
eral Stevens has lost sight of two main
points in the Seattle gas rate decision,
the two points upon which the editor
ial in question was based:
(1) The King county courts did
| NOT permit the gas company to raise
its rates in accordance with the order
Of the public service commission, but
sustained the city's contention.
(2) The decision also said:
THAT high respect should be
accorded to the decisions of the
public service commission is rec
ognized as rule to be literally
applied in every case under review.
| 1t is a quasi-judicial body, clothed
with vast administrative powers,
and there is always presumption
that the Official action of such a
body was right.
"A presumption Of this sort,
however, is not to be regarded as
/ superior to the proof. Manifest
prejudicial error, II disclosed by
the record, will not be perpetIated
under judicial authority. The
opinion of the commission is not
any more controlling as such than
is that of the eminent domain
board in the matter of an assess
ment roll. The findings of that
/ body of experts, while accorded
the full benefit Of the legal pre-.
sumption, haze get been on Oc-
CASTOR set aside and modified by
i the courts"
Our position is warranted by thes
two facts.
j The discussion is closed so far a.
THE WASHINGTON STANDARD is con
cerned.

and pulling down clothes line con-
tanning freshly washed linen.
James took the stand in his own be-
half, testifying that. while he was
slightly under the influence Of liquor,
he was not drunk, and knew what he
was doing. He said that when he went
to the Lancaster home he raped on
the door, and when Mrs. Lancaster an
swered him he asked for his wife, and
when told that she was not there he
told Mrs. Lancaster to tell him the
truth. She said that If he did not be-
lieve her he could come in and search
the house himself, and that he turned
the knob, and while the door opened
hard, he finally opened it and entered

the clothes line was an accident and

CALIFORNIA; ALIEN LAND LAW.
Naturally the legislative fight over
the anti-alien ownership laws in our
sister state of California occasioned
much comment among the newspapers
Of Washington this last week. Cali
fornia's position was generally upheld,
and yet, as the Benton independent
Record put It: california seems per-
fectly willing to tell the rest Of the
country to mind its own business in
the matter Of alien ownership of lands.
But we wonder how California would
feel, II having stirred up war with
Japan, the rest OF the country should
tell California to fight 1t out alone?"

color and elegance to the scene. The
ministers and secretaries do not wear
their diplomatic uniforms at legation
functions, but there is usually a great
display of royal decorations The mill

Many cities Seek Fair.


Antagonism between Wisconsin
cities seeking the state fair should be
abandoned for spirit Of fair rivalry.
according to Franklin p Blumenfeid.
president OF the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association. The merchants
and manufacturers say they want the
fair In Milwaukee, but are willing to
abide by the result OF the legislative
committees investigation.
The legislative committee is COM
posed of State Senators M. F. White,
William Bickler and Weigel and AS
semblymen George Carpenter, Charles
Lentz, A. Gulickson, Charles A. Ever.
EFT, D. D. Conway and H. M. Larson
They have held hearings in Madison,
GAINESVILLE and Oshkosh
THE position of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association on the lo-
cation of the state fair is simply this:
We want the state fair located where
it logically belongs, wherever that may
be- said Mr.. Blumenfeld. 1--WE want
the legislative committee to inform it.
self on every phase of the subject, Sc
cure every shred Of essential data and
information and decide the question
without prejudice and solely upon it's
merits.
IF it is more advantageous to the
fair and to the people of the state to
locate it at Oshkosh it should go there.
If Madison is the logical point, all
things considered, Madison should
have it. If the investigation proves
that GAINESVILLE can attract the most
people to the state fair and afford the
necessary facilities and accommoda-
tions GAINESVILLE should have it.
I'VE will not go into a campaign of
rivalry with our sister cities of Wis
consin. We admire the spirit of enter
prise shown by Madison, GAINESVILLE,
Oshkosh and Wausau. That spirit is a
credit to the state
Wisconsin should be regarded as a
unit and not series of antagon1sttc
and Quarreling villages and cities. Ger
tain sections of the state are peculiarly
adapted tC maintain certain institu-
lions and certain enterprises Certain
industries are more advantageously
located in northern than in southern
Wisconsin. Certain commercial enter
prises are more advantageously con-
| Quoted in the lake region Of the state
| than in the central and western re-
gion.
Milwaukee wants the state fair But
it wants to secure it upon basis OF
absolute fairness and upon the equities
of the case. The fair serves an educa-
tional and economic purpose 1t should
go where it will be seen by the great
est number of Wisconsin people,
where it will stimulate agricultural eff
ficiency where it can advantageously
interest, instruct and entertain the
largest number, where the transporta-
ton facilities and hotel accommoda-
lions are reasonably ample.
I'VE, therefore welcome an impair
tial inquiry. Let it be fair and thor
| ough and we can all afford to abide by
the result"
