THE SEATTLE RIOTS.

That Mayor George w. Cotterill
made a serious blunder when he at
tempted to enforce practically martial
law in Seattle during the two closing
days Of the Potlatch, which were mar.
red by the disturbances created by the
marines and sailors from the feet In
the harbor, seems to be the general
opinion Of the most conservative OBJ
servers of the situation the mayor
sought to handle by such drastic
means.
The riots, so-called, were not riots
in the generally accepted view of that
term, according to local witnesses OF
Friday nights affairs. but rather a
business-like destruction of property
confined solely to the satisfaction of a
revenge by these means and conclud
ing when that revenge was attained

There was 10 mob tghtiug, as riots
are generally termed to be, no street

legs. no tloodsh"l Tie sailors knew
what they wanted to do and did it,
with large crowds as spectators. WheL
they got through they went away, ap-

excuses the immortality of their con

method chosen in this instance was far
from advisable.
Yet it manifests what is deplorable
our times, the hatred of one class for
another. cngendered and stimulated
it mus, be said, by the hoOdlumistic
agitators who were the victims of last
Fridays episode in Seattle. The doc
trine they preached was put into prac-
tice against themselves and they i'm
mediately appealed for protection to
those elements of our government they
had previously so bitterly attacked.
There are many lessons bound up
in this affair. 1t may be hopeless to

and that comment is truer than most

those that have appeared in the oppo

The Tribunes comment is so good

Cabinet officers usually spend their

How the vacations shall be spent is
purely matter of taste. If Mr.. Bryan
does not care to go 10 a cool mountain

desire to pay and perspire at the same

it is we'll they have decided to fuss

THE "WAR" Is OVER.

BY a big majority few more than
half of the registered voters Of the
city have favored the construction OF
the Summit lake project.
=, Yet the whole number of those who
voted in Mondays special election on
the $4,000 bond issue was less than
half of those who voted in the last
presidential election.
In other words, less than one-third
of the voters of the city-1,036 out of
some 3,20O-have committed Olympia
to the Summit lake project.
We hope they have not made mis-
take.
Ours is a government of popular
rule. theoretically, whatever the peo
pie want they are presumed to have
The people of Olympia, through q
third of their voters have said they
want the Summit lake gravity water

think unwise. They have disagreed
with us and we sincerely hope that ir

MASONS At CENTRAL|A
Olympia Lodge Of Perfection to Initiate
Large Decree Glass.

Having been granted a special dis.
pensation by the sovereign grand in
spector general, Ernest Berand Hus.
sey of Seattle, Olympia Lodge of Per-
lection, whose Jurisdiction embraces
most of Southwest Washington, will
hold special meeting In the Masonic
hall Centralia, tomorrow afternoon and
evening for the purpose Of comforting
the fourth to 14th degrees Of the An
cient and Accepted Scottish Rite upon
class of about thirty candidates.
The officers of the lodge and the men,
bers from Olympia will make the trip
by auto returning after the ceremonies
and in addition to the large number
of members of the local lodge who
live in Centralia, members are expect
ed to be present from all parts of the
Southwest. The brethren at Centralia
have promised to see that banquet
in keeping with the Importance Of the
occasion is furnished and the event
promises to be memorable one.
Judge George E. Morris is the veneer
able master of the lodge.
It is likely that a similar trip will
be arranged later on to at least one
other city in the territory Of the local
lodge to confer the same degrees, and
the lodge will also hold meeting in
Olympia for degree work the first of
September.
The chapter of Rose Croix, council
of Kadosh and the Consistory will put
on the succeeding degrees in Olympia
at convenient intervals during the fall
and the prospects are the class which
will complete the Scottish Rite degrees
here this fall will be the largest one
the local bodies have had.
The local Masonic temple was erect
ed by this branch of the fraternity,
and it is expected that material re-
duction in the indebtednesd now out.

On completion of the Consistory
work, those members who so desire

which will have a ceremonial for the
adoption of new members in Tacoma
about Thanksgiving.

WELCOMING A COLLEAGUE.

Over on the East side a new brother
has been added to those now laboring
in the Democratic journalistic field,
new and reliable source of informa-
ton where those who want to know
the truth about Democracy and its ad-
ministrations, national and state, may
know that what they read therein is
true, that it is the bare fact stripped
of all the colored garments applied by
biased newspapers of other political
faiths.
The Inland Empire News-formerly
the Hillyard News and still published
in Hillyard-should come to be an i'm
portant factor in Eastern Washington
Democracy and so we are glad to well
come 1t into the growing ranks of
Democratic newspapers in this state
and to bespeak for it a wide measure
of success.

Some day some one may change the
old saying but until they do there is
no better way of expressing 1t than by
repeating, "in union there is strength"
That applies not only to nation but
to city and not only periodically but
in business way as well.
We are perambulating around in the
dictionary to this extent merely as
foreword to a repetition Of former
that we wish it were posi-.
BILE to weld together the various busl-
ness interests of the city in more
concerted action for the advancement
of the city. We express that wish
with the full realization of all the
Chamber Of Commerce is doing and
with a desire to aid its work in every
way.
Today the. different business inter
|ests of the city. working in little
groups--factions, they might be styled
are each individually laboring to
promote Olympia's growth. They are
working, too, but to how much better
advantage might it be done If all
were working together on the plans Of
each! How much more the united &C.
ton Of all these groups might mean
to the city's advancement!
Think 1t over. The Chamber of
Commerce has served to unite some of
these groups in considerable SEM
blance of united action, but not as
much as it might. Some there are
who do not belong, but these are very
few, for practically all Of the progress
sive business interests of the city meet
there on something Of common
ground. The point we are trying to
make is, however, that in spite Of this
representation, the Chamber Of Com
merce is not leading as we'll as 1t might
in concerted action for the fruition
of the ideas of these various groups
hut the groups themselves individually
are working out their own plans and
10 some extent at cross purposes.
A strong, dominating character can
weld these various groups together
can break down the fancied barriers
of conflicting business interests and
old political differences and unite on
this one point at least-the progress
Of the city-those who today are work
ing for it's advancement under the dis
advantage of disconnected action.
Olympia today is just at a point
where such a union could be made
We would like to see 1t done.

It was for the purpose of readjusting the scale paid ioaders and runners The present rate is II cents pei ton to runners and '52 1-2 cents a ton to loaders. Finney announced to- night that the rate paid the loaders
 in this district would probably be cu, so that the rate paid runners can be increased He refused to state w..Af amount would be taken from the loaders, and added to wages of the runners.

Washington, Sept 29 General re- vision of the details of the admin istration currency bill to insure the carrying out of the purposes of the measure was recommended to the senate ban.4ng and currency com mittee today by Samuel Untermyer of New York. Many of the changes proposed by Mr. Untermyer went to vital points of the bill
 Crittcising the bills definition oi commercial paper on which cur rency would be issued as loose and unrestricted" Mr. Untermyer de,lar- ed lines should be strictly drawn to allow the issue of currency only on commercial paper representing the purchase or sale of d commodity which would enter into commerce He recommended allowing the pro posed regional reserve banks to re. discount d wider range of paper than would be eligible as a basis for eur rency.
 Mir. Untermyer also recommended altering the plan of organizing the proposed regional reserve banks. He would give the national banks ninety days in which to subscribe the capi tai and deposits for the regiona, banks, and. if it was not forthcoming, would throw the stock books open 10 public subscription closely restrict ing the powers Of the subscribers in controlling the bank This plan, he said. would tend to force the banks to enter the system
 The bill, as at present framed, Mr. Untermyer declared, gave the banks themselves too much power in .he or sanitation and control of the propo5 ed new system. He recommended that the proposed advisory council of bankers, as an adjunct to the fed cral reserve board be abolished ane that :he government be given closer powers of regulation and removal ov CT regional reserve directors electel by the banks He urged, however that the banks be given flat profit of six per cent on their inyestmen in the regional banks and that tn, government be given all profits above that figure
 The right of the regional banks tt en.er the open market in competition with the membet banks is absolute ly necessary, he said in order tha the regional banks might control ant maintain the rate of discount Whicl the bill gives them the right to fix with scheme advanced by Senator' Reed, Hitchcock and Bristow undei which the government would issue currency directly to tha indiyidua banks on their assets up to - pet cent of their capital stock with ; provision for 50 per cent gold re serve. This plan, he said would b' inelastic and impracticable
 With the end of tariff legislation in sight the senate committee ha. settled down to continue detaiet hearings on the currency bill, whicl will cover several weeks The com mittee has been unable to agree ol any limit for the hearings
