As for the republicans, their pres
ent position is the exact negation Of
the attitude OF Abraham Lincoln and
men Of Lincoln's days. Lincoln de
elared that the people were masters
over both congress ana the courts,
not, as he phrased it, to destroy the
constitution. but to overthrow those
who perverted the constitution We
stand for the right Of the people to
have their well-determined wish be-
come part Of the fundamental law Of
the land, without permitting either
court legislature or executive to de-
bar them from this right.

statement addressed TO the Ameri-

yenustiano Carranza. governor Of the
Mexican state Of Coahuili and leader
Of the so-called constitutionalists, de-
tending the position says:
Il desire that the American people
shall form their own judgment Of the
justice Of the attitude Of the govern

part OF the people of several others.
After s5 years Of the dictatorship
Of General Porfirio Diaz the Mexican
people broke the power Of General
Diaz and elevated to the presidency
Francisco /. Madero. chief in the den.-
ocratic effort against Porfirian dicta-
torship.
The elements of the old govern
ment, not conforming to the new re-
gime, attempted three times, by
means Of revolutions. to destroy the
power Of Senior Madero. but the ma
ton was with him. and al the force
of his enemies was futile.

GENERATOR COMING
 LEFT. THE EAST
Shipped to Power Company for Use in Solomon Basin--PeIton
 Wheel Also Shipped.

President Temple and super intendent Quinn are happy over the news received by them this morning that the generator for the power plant in Solomon basin had been shipped from the East June ith and that the PeltOn wheel company had s hipped the wheel June 17th. The contract with the machinery company called for delivery early in June and it's non-arrival has worried the officials of the company. The electric company is now under lease from 'Mrst Alfred B. lles, using the Solomon basin power plant on the beach, erected by Mr. Hes six years ago and the contract cX- pires July list, and the pipe line will be surrendered at that time to Hes and the auxiliary plant in town will be used until the new Solomon basin plant can be equipped. Should the equipment arrive in time the company will not resort to the use of the steam plant, but will generate power from the basin.

We are unable to find MaikOpin in the Encyclopedia, nor does the dispatch give any reason why the monks should desire to wear Trousers. We always thought the monks had the best in the land to live upon and received all the wine needed to keep them feeling fine, but if the Russians. are shortchanging the brethren we hope the boys without pants win Fthe strike. The member of the Russian church recently recall ed from Ellamar received a few barrels of wine each season and never lacked his trousers nor failed of plenty to eat, so why should the monks in Maikopin, wherever that is, do without?

MIR. Dun is not hippant correspondent Nor
does he strive for literary effect. He plunges
abuptly and prosaicaly into the matter upper
most in his mind, thus:
THE first six months of 1918, as compared
with the same period of 1912, show improve
ment in general business conditions in Seattle
The splendid crop prospects and the anticipated
large catch Of sockeye salmon Puget Sound
warrant the belief that the balance of the year
will be equally as favorable"
He adds: THE bank clearings show an in
crease of $3l ,975,l32 for the halfyear, and
there is also substantial increase in postoffice
receipts and bsilding permits. Reports received
from manufacturers jobbers and principal retail
ers in Seattle show that out of As lines of trade
AZ show an increase and three decreases"

MIR. Dun is prying person. There isn't much
going in business and financial circles any.
where that Mr. Dun can't find out about. It's
good thing. too, for every in a while MIR.
Dun writes report which sums up concisely
the results and conclusions of his pryng.
MIR. Dun has been pryng into conditions in
Seattle and the Northwest. And now he has
written about them. He calls his report
trade review" One thing about Mr. Dun is
that he is mercilessy frank. He calls a spade
. spade, a loss a loss.
Knowing MIR. Dun's brutal honesty, we sort
of hated to read his review. The emotions one
experiences prior to reading MIR. Dun's letters
are similar to those endured before opening
telegram from home. You always wonder, be-
fore opening the telegram from home, If your
partner has absconded or your wife run away
with handsomer man.
With trepidation opened Mr.. Dun's letter,
ran apprenhensive eye over its contents
and uttered loud cries of JOY!
