A PROGRESSIVE (?)
BAR ASSOCIATION.

There is going to be a revolution in
political methods, starting with the
advent of Democratic Congress,
president, and numerous Democratic
governors and legislatures Washing
ton will have a Democratic governor,
but very much mixed legislature,
with the sO-called regular Republicans
apparently in the majority. 1t must
be remembered though that a so-called
regular Republican scarcely knows of
what his regularity consists and he
will hardly dare to fly in the face of
public opinion and oppose measures
that the people demand and will have
enacted either at the hands of the leg
islature or by their own direct method
through the initiative.
Governor Lister is man with con-
victiOns. He will assume Office with
program mapped out that will ap-
peal to the people of this state. His
own party is organizing to help him
present this program to the last num-
Der.
The people will stand behind him
regardless of party, and if there are
any old style political pettifoggers
who still think they can hoodwink the
entire population by obstruction, delay
or deceit, they are destined to receive
io1t %hot voo1lx, ;o1tc
The people who believe in progress
sive measures mean that progress
must be in the direction of greater
freedom, greater equality of OppOrtu.
Mtg for al, less public eTpense, less
useless officials. q eider publicity in
al public affairs, and above all else an
intelligent supervision of the a0hole
machinery of government by the citi-
senship.
These ideas have been endorsed by
more than two-thirds of the states
electorate but the two-thirds evidently
did not embrace majority Of the
State Bar association, which body
seems to have progressive CD ideas Of
it's own, for in the face of an over
whelming demand for fewer boards
and commissions, the association has
the unmitigated effrontery to recon-
mend and propose still another com
mission Of five, with an annual salary
roll of 1880, to say nothing of clerks

He had ordered a steak in a water

also a bill for So cents. He looked
at the steak and then at the bill. Then
he called the proprietor and told him
that he would not pay.

seaman was quickly relieved of the 81
cents.
When they were not looking his way

and put 1t in his pocket.
The lieutenant looked at the steak
again. 1t presented sadly bedrag

MANY SEALS SOLD.
Preliminary Reports OF Red Cross
Campaign Are Gratifying.

While complete returns from the
Red Cross seal sale will not be avail
able for several days, some of the pre-
liminary reports are most gratifying.
Over $1,000 was realized through the
efforts of the Tacoma school children;
Seattle apparently will reach one seal
per capita mark; Everett re-ordered
seals two days before the close of the
sale; Bellingham, Vancouver, Walla
Walla, North Yakima and Centralia
will probably sell out completely,
while several of the smaller towns
have made record Of from seven to
ten seals per capita.
The children of the state took par.
ticularly active part in the seal cam
paign this year and their enthusiasm
and energy are in a large measure
responsible for the good showing
which will undoubtedly be made. The
women's clubs of the state also gave
much valuable assistance. These are
features which encourage the Wash
ington Association for the Prevention
and Relief of tuberculosis to re-
doubled effort for the coming year.
With the children, the clubs and the
newspapers behind the work, the as
ISOLATION believes that the solution of
the tuberculosis problem in Washing.
ton is question of only few years.
The Washington Association for the
Prevention and Relief of tuberculosis
wishes all Happy New Year.

 Department.

Washington, March S.-Until there is a far better prospect of peace in Mexico than exists in Mexico at pres ent neither the federal troops on the frontier nor the United States war vessels now in Mexican waters will be withdrawn.

MT. Daniels denied emphatically any intention to withdraw the ships of war.
 In the opinion of >he War Depart ment the hope of peace in Mexico, is wholly elusive, and that the state of Americans there is still precarious
 "The Mexican baby is only asleep" said one high official today. He is likely to wake up and cry at any .ime.'l
 TheiWar Department has no actual news from the front but dispatches rom Ambassador Wilson to the JStatc Department announces that a req! evolution is likely to begin at any ime against the Huerta government the states of Sonora and Coahuila. These dispatches indicate that Huerta himself regards the situation as ser ous and is taking steps looking to heir suppression.
