police judge and fined. Adam and Eve,
nor the world, knew of such a thing as
false modesty
1t is of course true that bathing
suits or costumes should be worn, but
just how much suit or costumes should
be worn should be left entirely to the
discretion of the wearer. The women
who dress in the latest fashion today
cannot be told from the women of the
streets in our large cities. The bath
ing suit and the clothes question
should be relegated to its proper place,
to the inclination of the wearer.

Newspaper business on the Olympic

Judge from the fact that the Port An

field. A. A. Smith, of the Tribune
Times; Brother HaZeltine of the South
Bend Journal; Grant C. Angle of the
Mason County Times; and Dan Bush
of the Chehalis Bee-Nugget, together
with the editor of the Courier, are
about all the oldtime newspaper men
of this state still in the businessmen

West a Fair Minded Governor.
(Auburn Argus.)
The action by Governor Oswald West
of Oregon, in directing the attorney
general of the state to bring charges
for the removal of the sheriff of Coos
county on the grounds that he did not
attempt to protect Socialists from mob
violence at Bandon, Oregon, is but an
other example of the fair mindedness
for which that executive has gained a
considerable reputation.
Regardless of his political opinions.
every citizen of the United States is
entitled to enjoy life, liberty and hap
piness and these cannot be taken from
him without due process Of law. OF
course there are times when the law
moves slowly and justice is melted out
without appeal to the court but in the
majority of cases the judgment of a
mob, melted by dissension Of opinion,
is far from being right.
Wilson and Congress-.
- (Chesaw News)
Some of the precedent lovers are
still worrying over President Wilson's
determination to adopt his own meth
DDS in dealing with Congress. Here
tofore presidents have waited until
Congress acted and then, by veto or
appeal to the press and people, placed
the blame and evaded the RESPONSE
bility. President Wilson has adopted
a new plan. The president has let it
be known that he will wander over
into the congressional halls whenever
Congress shows signs of laughing at
his demands, and will get up before
the members and call out in very
personal way: Congressman Jones,
what are your reasons for obstructing
the wishes of our constituents" CT
course this Is very irregular, ond "cff
FORM" and shocks the dignity of Con-
gress, which dignity is a moss-grown
thing. But the people do not much
mind informality when it is on their
side, and If President Wilson asks Con-
gress embarrassing questions not Tor
his personal satisfaction, but on behalf
of the people he has pledged himself
to serve, does anybody doubt which
party to the controversy will receive
the support of the people?
