The Compholer's Lament.

The fortunate posscssor Of an unemascuatcd
copy of the annual report of the Comptroller Of
the Currency for the year 1914 had better preserve
it as jealousy the scientist guards his only
specimen of the twelve-hinged isogeothermaI Men
now living will the day when it will be scarccr
than a copy Of the ne-hundred-and-s eventy-
ninth edition of the Agricultural Departments
Horse Book, prescribing an antidote for bolts in
the domesticated equine. For the Comptroller's
report this year establishes a new and sentimental
school in governmental literature. 1t touches
lightly upon the operations of what once was an
important Office in the Treasury Department, but
bares wildly to the sympathetic reader the anguish
of the Comptroller caused by uncomplimentary
articles in the newspapers, inspired, he complains
by the heads of certain banking institutions. How
they managed thus to influence the press is not dis
closed, nor is the reason for their antagonism,
less it be that the Comptroller in cooperation with
the Secretary of the Treasury, succeeded in crush
ing out infamy which he discovered upon taking
Office, an infamy fostered by previous administra-
tons and consisting of a courtesy accorded the
woman representative Of certain banking institu-
ton, which gave her desk room and the means of
obtaining, seated instead of standing information
to which the banking interests employing her were
entitled by law. Ihls, however, would seem to be
a far removed explanation of any hostility to the
Comptroller in view of the fact that the Secretary
of the Treasury claimed full credit in the news
papers for banishing the womans desk, few
weeks after he assumed Office. The Comptroller's
report does, however, suggest another reason for
unfavorable newspaper comment upon his admins
tration, by reference to Treasury deposit of
81, 100000 with a certain trust company in which
the Comptroller's brother was a director, during
financial crisis-a proceeding which, the Comptrol-
Ter emphasizes, strictly within the law, But
will tender hearted public regard these proceed
ings as explaining, much less ustfying cruel news
paper comments upon the Comptroller's admins
tration, inspired by the banking interests? Prob
ably not; they will wait, more or less patiently,
for some further explanation of the coarse criti-
cism directed at the gentle Comptroller.
Such wailing is unique in an annual report
from an administrative department of the govern
ment, and those persons who would prefer that
the space had been devoted to further details of
the hopes and achievements of the Office will be
pardoned for the suspicion that the rule of pifie
has invaded the Treasury DepaytrfenA

husband to support her? And most such
women have a mother or others more or

On account of war, Swiss cheese makers have
found it impossible to market the seasons crop
and have been compelled to store it in the ripen-
ing caves. Time is such important factor in
the proper development of this casein decacy that
the failure to find quick market will contribute
greatly to the quality of the product By the time
the war embargo is removed it may prove to be
an excellent substitute for the toothsome Linn
burger, the manufacture of which has been sadly
nterfered with by the German invasion of

The attitude Of the militants toward the war
the theme of some questioning. Miss Ken
ney justified it the ground Of loyalty to country.
They would devote themselves to relief work till
the end of the war and then, if their claims were
not recognized, they would return to militancy.
| wondered how much patience England would
have with them, in the exhaustion that must follow
such struggle and in the distractions of recuper
ating. Would the English politicians be grateful
to the militants for practical service? Or would
they remain in the old attitude of obstinacy?
Miss Kenney evidently had much more to say
than she could say in one lecture. But she said
enough to give clear idea of the power of the
most curious uprising in history uprising that
in itself expressed something of the amazing in
congruity in our modern social and political life.
After hearing her no one could have dismissed her
and her associates with the contemptuous English
phrase, "the wild women" She made plain that
the militant movement was the result of careful
planning and determined purpose 1t stood for
something deeper than sensational and transient
insurgency. Behind it there a force which, in
spite of its wlful violation of convention and law
had in it something elemental and irresistible,
kind of spirituality. "The wild women" of today
were plainly destined to become the heroines of
tomorrow. Their very fury had in Il the sense of
outrage that could come only from the conscious
ness of gross injustice.

Joe Bonds, the husky light
heavyweight of Tacoma, came
back" in excellent manner last
night, when he earned a decision
over Frank Farmer. the Kapow-
sin lad, after four sIashing
rounds of boxing at the Moose
hall. Bonds boxed better than
at any previous exhibition. He
landed twice as many good blows
as Farmer and maintained the
aggressive throughout, with
Frank hanging on in clinches
whenever he could get a grip.
Fight fans favored Farmer. and
received the decision ungracious-
ly.
Casey Jones and Joe Swain
fought to a draw in one of the
most MISUNDERSTANDING boxing
matches staged in Tacoma. Swafn
was knocked out in the first
round. but the gong saved him at
the eighth count. During the
rest of the bout he fought game
ly, bleeding from the eye. nose
and mouth. Jones bled profuse-
ly, and both men were lathered
with blood from their heads to
their waists. The other matches
were well handled.
