OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
GOOD FRIDAY.

Probably there is no more soul-satis-
flying service in the Christian church
that than which thousands the world
over participated intoday-the three
hour watch service of Good Friday.
One of meditation more than of ritual
1t is, one in which those of us who
follow the Saviours path to the Cross
have time to count and recount the
little of good there is in us, the null
titude of things we ought not to
have DONE"
The portals of this life are swung
back for us in this little space and we
see ourselves, poor, weak humans
threading our way down the avenues
of this world, beset with temptations
on every side, guided by that Hand
which is so close to all and yet so far
from some of us. So 1t is that through
this service we draw ourselves little
closer to 1t, we realize I'VE have left
undone those things we ought to have
done" and we return to the workaday
world replenished and refreshed.

King of Greece Assassinnted.

SALONIKI, March 18.-King George
of Greece was assassinated while walk
ing in the streets of Saloniki this af-
ternoon, the assassin firing one shot,
striking the king In the heart.
The king fell into the arms of his
aide when shot. Two soldiers ran up
on hearing the firing and helped to
support him. He was placed in a car
riage and efforts were made to stop the
bleeding, but he breathed his last on
the way to the hospital near by. The
assassin, Greek of low type who gave
the name Aleko Schinas, was immedi-
ately seized and overpowered.
Crown Prince Constantine. who was
in the field with the Grecian army,
rushed to the capital to take over the
reins of government Excitement in
the Grecian capital was intense.

THE SPECIAL TARIFF SESSION.

With the proclamation by President
Woodrow Wilson this week that Con-
gress woulG be called in special session
April Z to debate the tariff problem,
comes also the announcement by the
ways and means committee of the
house of representatives that the tariff
reductions to be made. will follow sub
stantially the bills passed by the last
Congress and vetoed by President Taft.
The committee is now finishing its
work Of drafting the proposed revi-
sions. In accordance with the Demo
cratic platform the reductions are to
be made first on the necessaries of life
while the present tariffs on luxuries
are to remain. The changes also are
to be gradual and not drastic.
For the last two years at least the
business of the country has been ad-
justing itself to the tariff changes 1t
knew we're inevitable, and today it is
going ahead rapidly and steadily, with
the reductions more imminent than
they ever were before. 1t is a good
omen. One sees in it the open &C.
acknowledgement by the business of the
country that the tariff system is wrong
and unnecessary from the economic
standpoint and that business fears not
the revision and readjustment.

Governor Lister for an economical and
affairs.
The record on the road levy bill is
plain. No attempt to doctor it or jug
gle with it can avail in fooling the
people. The governor had vetoed the
bill, as originally passed. and had noti-
fed the legislature that he would not
approve such an exorbitant levy for
good roads purposes. An attempt to
override the veto failed in the house,
which then adopted the questionable
expedient of expunging the record Of
the proceedings from the house jour-
nal.

EXTRA SESSION APRIL Z.

Only Tariff Schedules to BE Considered
Currency Reform Later.
WASHINGTON, March 21-The ex-
ira session of Congress called by Pres
ident Wilson will assemble April Z and
will begin with nothing but the tariff
revision bills before 1t. This fact was
made clear in a statement by Repre-
sentative Oscar W. Underwood, chair
man of the house committee on ways
and means.
Until tariff legislation is we'll under
way in the house no other general COM
mittees will be named and no other
legislative subjects will be considered.
The revision plan as settled upon con-
templates substantially the principal
provisions of the Democratic revision
bills that were put through both houses
in the last Congress.

Vetoes Meet General Approval.

(PaSco ProgreSS)
Governor Listers veto of the high
road tax levy will meet with general
approval. While good roads are need
ed in this state and the public funds
cannot be expended for better pur-
pose, at the present time the state has
not the equipment to build roads on a
large scale and the excessive tax levy
calls for retrenchment. The amount
of the levy as approved by the governor
is sufficient in light of all the circum-
stances.
While it is probable that Governor
Lister overstepped the bounds of Off
cial dignity by referring to certain
Legislators as "ruffians, hoodlums and
window tommies," his provocation was
great. The Republican majority in the
legislature has persistently tried to
play horse" with the governor and he
had good excuse for losing his tenn
per.

who has eaten of the dregs of life:
That Is the big, big secret of the

II they had only let me be-only
let me live as ! wanted to,

was trying to solve things.
Once again is the curtain torn back
and we are face to face with the
greatest Of al iniquities-our double
standard of morality. And always will
1t be so so long as youth pats youth on
the back and boasts and brags as the
world looks on with smile and women
shun the sister who has taken the
downward step.
Low wages may be one Of the pri-
mary causes Of vice-doubtless they
are. The love Of finery, show, frivolity,
may be another, but until the world
casts out the young men who go wrong
along with the girls, one of the most
insidious causes will remain. We must
rear our boys according to the stand
ards we demand Of our girls, ere we
can grapple and stifle the social evil.

Endorses Governors Position.
auburn Argus.)


Residents of Olympia were last week
treated to the sight of full grown men
acting like juveniles in the fight be-
tween Governor Lister and certain fac
lions of the legislature. The machin-
cry of politics is pretty deep system
to most Of us, but when men seek to
invade the privacy of the governors
home to further their own particular
schemes 1t Is time to call halt.
Whether the bill, which it is said Mrs.
Lister thrust from the porch of the
governors mansion with the toe Of her
shoe, has any merit in it or not, the
men trying to further their ends by
methods which, though not illegal, are
open to question, is another reason
why the recall of all public officials
should be on the statute books.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE,

While we still have fresh in our
minds the tactics of the legislature
just ended the Democrats of the state
of Washington must not forget that the
party's greatest duty in the next two
years is not to determine who will get
this job or that but to elect a legisla-
ture in 1914 in accord with Governor
Listers policies of economy.
This was the object uppermost in the
minds of the younger Democrats who
organized the Young Mems Democratic
League in Seattle last Saturday, and
working in conjunction with the state
central committee and the committees
of the different counties of the state,
the league will devote its energies pri-

Washington and Haines Of Idaho eX-

much hope of success.
The bill passed both legislatures by
large majorities only to be killed by
the autocratic action of two men who
set themselves up as better judges of

Organized Raid ON Taxpayer.

The ravages of Speaker Taylor and

an end. Without doubt the legisla-

susceptible to censure of any in the
history of the state, as it has been one
organized raid after another on the
taxpayers money. Surely the evolu-
ton promised so heartily by the re-

member the parties who have so gross
