Sidelights ON n College Education.

The sad news comes from the uni
versity of Michigan to the effect that
the star pitcher of the team has lost
serious share of his effectiveness re-
Gently through paying too much atten-
tion to his studies. He has been taken
in hand in time by the baseball coach
of the university and it is believed
that he can be reclaimed before 1t is
too late.
Lister Made Friends I'm Bellingham.
(Bellingham Sentinel.)
Governor Lister made hosts of
friends while in Bellingham last Fri
day. He proved himself to be broad
minded, liberal and conscientious man.
just such a man as the state needs as
it executive head. He is man from
the crown of his head to the soles of
his feet. Governor Lister has ideas
of progression, and he fearlessly
states them, telling the people that
selfishness must be obliterated in or
der to obtain results. He is promising
to be one of the best governors the
state ever had, regardless of politics.
He is big, little man who knows no"
to work out the problem of success,
and he is no ways backward in lend
ing his voice to the general public.
When in the interest of the state, he
throws politics to the four winds and
works for the greatest good to the
greatest Number. He is a success as
a governor and gentleman by ma
ture--the two combined will make him
a power behind the throne for doing
good to the whole people. We take our
hat off to Governor Lister, not as a
politician, but as the head of the af-
fairs of the state of Washington.

Weyerhauscr and the Standpatters.
(Friday Harbor Journal.)
Weyerhauser, the great lumber king,
says that the lumber industry does
not need the tariff and the business
can easily and quickly adjust itself to
conditions without the tariff. II that
is fact, and he ought to know. where
do the standpat congressman get of
at, who have been hollering their
heads off for the tariff on lumber? 1t
looks like the big operator had stuck
"a pin into their campaign balloon.
Why Not q Dads Days
Monroe itor-Transcript)
We have just observed Mothers day
and throughout the length and breadth
of the land white carnations have
shown the love and appreciation AMI
reverence of the mother love and care
and devotion. 1t Is very pretty GUS
tom, but some of these days there is
going to be established another such
annual observance and it will be in
behalf of Dad.
Home wouldn't be much without
Mother, but then Dad has got to be
recognized also. He has to hustle for
the living and when he falls down in
his duties the home atmosphere is also
pretty poor. At least the good and vir-
tuous Dad should be rewarded with "a
celebration in his honor. He stands q
lot and when he behaves himself he is
entitled to credit. It's fine to honor
Mother-it is in keeping with the rec
ignition given women in other ways
in this country, which is the one ma
ton on earth that places her on a ped
estal-but don't forget Dad.
