BRYANS PEACE PLAN
Final Feature Submitted This Week
20 Nations Accept.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-The third
and final feature of Secretary of State
Bryans peace plan, submitted to the
20 nations which have accepted his
plan in principle, was announced this
week as follows:
This government is prepared to con-
slider the question of maintaining the
status quo as to military and naval
preparations during the period of in
vestigation if the contracting nation
desires to include this, and the govern
ment suggests tentatively that the par
ties agrees that there shall be no
change in the military and naval pro-
gram during the period of investiga-
ton unless danger to one of the con-
tracing parties from a third party
compels a change in said program, in
which case the party feeling itself men,
aced by third power shall confiden-
TALLY communicate the matter in writ
ing to the other contracting party, and
it shall thereupon be released from the
obligation not to change its military
or naval program, and this release will
at the same time operate as a release
of the other contracting parties.
This protects each party from the
other in the ordinary cases and yet pro.
vides freedom of action in emergen-
cies."
The proposals previously announced
provide for an international commits
sion of five members, one from each
contracting country to be chosen by
the government, one to be chosen by
each of the contracting countries from
some other country and the fifth to be
agreed upon by the two contracting
governments. One year is suggested as
a proper time for the investigation of
the subject under dispute.
The 20 nations which have accepted
the principle Of the peace proposal in
the order named are: Italy, Great
Britain, France, Brazil, Sweden, Nor
way, Peru, Russia, Austria Hungary,
Netherlands, Japan, Germany, Bolivia,
Argentine Republic, China, Dominican
Republic, Hayti, Spain, Portugal and
Belgium.

Gems In Verse
WITH A SONG IN HIS BREAST.

Where the weak by the stronger
are crowded
He bravely keeps up the good fight.
Hedged round by relentless conditions,
With needs that will give him no rest,
He clings to the fairest ambitions
And tolls with a song in his breast.
He strives and is free from resentment
For others whose ventures have paid
And are searching for splendid content
ment
Away from the channels of trade.
His task as he puts his hand to 1t
Is never begun in dismay.
But he gladly endeavors to do 1t
A little bit better each day.
He is pitied sometimes by his brothers
Whom Fortune has deigned to make
glad.
But he wastes no time envying others
Because Of the luck they have had.
With faith in the Master above him
And hope that ne'er falters nor swerves
He Is cheered by their gladness who love
him
And is loyal to those whom he serves.
Let others whom luck has attended
Look down with contempt II they will
Ambitions unyielding and splendid
Are ceaselessly urging him still.
With Joy in the strength he is given
To daily accomplish his best
He lags not with those who are driven,
But tolls with a song In his breast

never having inherited any political
principles at all, ma6e up their own.
What they wanted was clean. ell
cient governor. They cared nothing
about the party label he bore
Accordingly they turned to Lister
by the thousand. They got out nom
partisan circulars signed by women of
all parties, asking support for Lister.
They held great mass meetings where
prominent citizens who thought more
of efficiency than of party labels urged
Listers merits. Never have we any
where attended political meeting that
for earnestness, cleanness and high
tone equaled those Lister meetings. All
reference to scandals in the other par
ties was taboo. Mr. Listers sole plea
was that of efficiency, independence,

could not have been more dgniiied or
cleaner.

the entire state of Washington, not one
newspaper backed Lister. But the
women never faltered. By the same
methods they had employed to elect
other desirable men, they got voters
into line for Lister When the final

state of Washington
Throughout the ticket the same

can, was elected state superintendent

in Washington, rising grade by grade
from position as teacher in country
school. In 1908 she was elected SUPER
intendent of Walla Walla county, and
her administration was so efficient that
after her reelection in 1910 she was a
b
intendency in 1912. Mrs. Helen j.
Scott of Tacoma, who had long been
active in civic affairs, was chosen as a
presidential elector on the Progressive
ticket, thus being one of the three
women chosen last fall as presidential
electors. These were the first women
ever elected to this Office. DR.. Nena
Jolidon Croake of Tacoma was elected
to the legislature on the Progressive
ticket, and Mrs. Frances c. AXtell Of

ture on the Republican ticket. Agnes

MEX|C0'S WAR DAMAGE
GENERAL UPRISING DEPRESSES
THE PRICE OF LANDS IN ALL
STATES OF UNION.

The civil warfare that has Scourged
the Republic of Mexico for a year or
more shows its awful effects more and
more each day in the continually in
crcasing cost of the necessities of life.
Meal costs four times its normal cost.
Meats are twice as high and corn has
advanced to three times its average
price.
Vegetables are higher than ever known
before and every article of food not only
is high in price, but is scarce and hard
to get at any price in many parts of the
republic.
This is entirely due to the neglect of
agrarian pursuits.
Mexico's resources, in the main are
three in number and come in the order
named.
Mining. cattle raising. farming.
Up until the time of the breaking out
of the MaderO revolution. the people
were gradually awakening to the need
for more farming and better farming.
to the fact that they should have a little
piece of land for themselves on which to
raise the necessities of life.
But now that the laborer has laid
down the hoe and the scythe and has
taken up the sabre and the gun, the fer
tile lands of Mexico are crying out for
some one to come to them and dig for
the treasure that lies i'll every square
inch.
The lands have gone down and the
prices of food have gone up.
The greatest war damage the country
has suffered comes from the loss of un-
used lands.
Every man should have a little piece
Of land for himself.
He who owns a piece Of land however
small. is far ahad Of the man who owns
none at all.
Where is Victoria Addition located?
1t is Just across CemetariO Resaca at
the end of 18th and 14th streets. 1t is
high. dry and level. Big force of men
are now clearing the streets.
