Governor Not ed.
(Tekoa Blade, Republican,

CTekoa Blade, Republican,
"The worst discredited governor the
state of Washington ever had" is re-
mark attributed to member of the
house of representatives near the open
ing of the late session. The legislature
has come to a close without in the
slightest degree bringing discredit on
the governor, who has stood with the
firmness of rock between the eXtrav
agance of that body and the interests
of the taxpayers. For the sake of par
ty advantage there appeared to be a
deliberate attempt on the part of the
control to place Governor Lister in
bad light before the people, and make
him responsible for unpopular legisla-
ton. This scheme was frustrated by
a liberal use of the veto power, and the
voters of the state will doubtless know
where to place the responsibility for
what was done 'or left undone. The
governor is stronger and more popular
than ever, while but few, if any, mem
bers of either house have gained any
prestige or popularity with their con-
stituents.

Encourages Trade Extension.
Organs CommonerD

This administration will encourage
the extension of trade but it will be an
extension open to every legitimate
trader-not trade limited or restricted
to few. Other nations, too, will I'M
derstand that the United States does
not propose interference with foreign
governments or the independence OF
nations when it encourages American
capital to invest abroad. China will
breathe easier as she recognizes the
frendliness of our country and meas
ures the force of the example which
our nation sets. President Wilson
could have done nothing better calcu-
lated to promote American commerce
nothing better calculated to promote
peace and friendship between our ma
ton and the nations whose resources
await development.

An Obvious Parting Of the Ways.
(Puyallup Valley Tribune.)


Huntington Wilson, the hold-over as
sistant secretary of state, and the DEM
ocratic administration at Washington
have parted company, but why, as one
contemporary asks, should the retir-
ing Huntington impose a thousand
words to explain and impress his disa-
greement with Woodrow Wilson's for
eign policy! Saturated with Knoxism
and believing only in that diplomacy
bearing the dollar mark, there was no
reason for Huntington Wilson to ex-
pect to be in accord with the new Sec
rotary of state, nor the least occasion
to direct attention to the obvious disa-
greement. The WilsonBryan policy is
not the Taft-Knox policy.
The government at Washington is no
longer engaged in underwriting for
eign investments by Americans, or
placing itself in the attitude of sher-
if for handling delinquents. That pol,
icy lis obnoxious to the principles
upon which the government of our
people rests"

The 18th legislature just adjourned
was pretty much of failure. There
were several political factions repre-
scented and when one wasn't trying to
put another, or the governor. to the
bad politically there was a wrangle
over appropriations. The full amount
appropriated to be raised by general
taxation is approximately. $16,00O,00O,

appropriated by the last legislature.

Able, Efficient Administration.

(Uniontown Press.)
There has been sufficient time to get
an idea of the manner in which the
new president will handle the affairs
of state. He has already shown him.
self to be an able executive, giving at
tention to important matters in per-
son and letting his assistants handle
questions of routine. He has not been
precipitate in making official appoint
ments and yet he has not baked at
choosing men where vacancies made
prompt action necessary. He has
shown himself to be firm yet diplo-
matte, and his course gives promise of
an able, efficient, businesslike and sat
isfactory administration to the nation
at large.

undertaking the impossible. We re-
publish in this issue comments from
several honest Republican papers in
which the governor is given the right
full credit for holding the appropria-
tons down to a sum much smaller
than they would otherwise have been
and the legislature is rightfully given
the blame for the extravaganza. There
Is vast difference between an honest
Republican paper and a party organ.
The latter is in duty bound to uphold
it's party no matter how glazing its
sins. Certainly the lot of Republi-
can party organ has been hard one
