LAW or SELF PRESERVATION
MORE SACRED THAN
STATUTE.

1t looks now like the statute books
Of Texas may escape the burden of n
criminal law to compel free men to
abstain from bringing on a condition
OF financial ruin to themselves next
year. Probably there is not a man In
Texas who falls to see that the pro
duction Of cotton must be curtalled II
the priceto be realized for the staple
is to be enough to pay the expense
and yet there are supposedto be men
who will wait for the law to force
them to such curtallment.
This writer once knew negro
woman, who, while slave had been
threatened with her masters lash
to compel her to take medicine when
sick. After her emancipation, when
II was necessary to take physic she
would have somebody hold whip
ready to lash her before she could
lBwallow the dose
There are good man who have re-
lied on the austerity Of the law to
move them to action until they seem
to fear that unless placed In jeopardy
Of punishment they may not do what
they know they ought to do.
In the absence Of legal restriction
In the matter OF cotton planting ev-
cry man ought to resolve within him
self that he will raise feed stun,
hogs, poultry and other family sup
plies and content himself with few
acres OF cotton.

Governor Colquitt will call the leg
isiature together after the election
and that the newly elected represen.
tatives will be expected to respond.
Mr.. Calvin does not agree with the
Attorney General that the new legis-
lature cannot come into existence
tin January and he assured Mr., Bak-
er that nearly or quite all Of the leg

the natter. For that reason he seems
to think Governor Colqultt can call

STUDY LATIN-AMEIlI-
CAN COUNTRIES

Special study Of the countries OF
Latin-America in schools In the Unit
ed States is urged by DR.. =. p. ClaX-
ton, commissioner OF education. In Il
letter to high school principals, DR..
Claxton Declares
I'VE should teach in our schools
and colleges more Of the geography,
history, literature and life of the
Latln-American countries, and we
should offer instruction in the Span
ish and Portuguese languages to a
much larger extent than is now done.
IAN our relations with the repub-
| lies to the south OF us are bound to
become much more intimate than
they have been In the past. The com
pletion OF the Panama Canal, the
changes In commercial relatins
brought about by the war In Europe
as well as other recent events, have
served to call the attention OF the
people Of the United States to the re-
cent rapid growth and development
Of the American republics.
"These countries comprise an area
three times as great as the United
States. They are rich in minerals,
forests. water power. and wide
range Of agricultural products They
have 7O,OOO.OOO people, with gov
ernments modelled after our own.
Their foreign commerce amounts to
more than $4,000, 100000 annually
and is rapidly increasing.
THE third American city In popu-
lation is In Latin America. Another
Latin-American city has 100000
Inhabitants. Three others have APP
proxicaiely 100000 each, and FIVE
Others have each 100000 or more.
Some Of these cities rank among the
most beautiful and attractive In the
world.
These countries are making rapid
progress in elementary and second.
AIRY education and industrial educa-
tion. Several OF their universities en-
roll from 1000 to 1000 students each
The history Of their countries is in
teresting, and they possess rich and
varied literature
"a further reason for teaching
Spanish In our schools more than we
do Is that It is the language OF one
tenth Of all the people claiming pro.
lection under the American flag. as
well as OF one Of the cultured ma
lions Of Europe"

POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITS
ARE INCREASING

The war In Europe is proving
bia boon TO postal savings In this
country. From the very day HOSTILE
ties opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began to increase by
leaps and bounds and Withdrawals
foil an result quite contrary to
the predictions of many well inform

tion. saw lines of feverlsh uepositors

cations. not only among the nations
Of the earth. but with the humblest
citizens OF the land
Two important results have fol-
lowed. Thousands Of people largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to Sehd
their savings abroad. are now pa
irons OF our postal savings system
and enormous sums of actual cash
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at time
when the need for every available
dollar is pressing.
The growth Of postal savings III
the United States has been STEADY
and healthy and the system has MI
ed an important gap between the tin
can depository and the factory pay
master. On July /. when AFFAIRS were
running smoothely here and abroad
and the transmission Of money across
the Atlantic was safe and expeditions
there was approximately siS'OOo'Ooo
credit Of about 3SS,OOO deposilors'
Since then over s1O,OOO,OOO Of de-
posits have been added and the num-
Der Of depositors has increased enor-
mously. This Unprecedented gain is
the more striking when II is consid.
cred that the net gain in the last
three months IS larger than the gain
for the entire fiscal year 1914 Scores
OF offices have done more postal saw
ings business since the war has been
going on than was done by them

service. The increases are confined to
no special localities but have been
felt IN every nook and corner Of the
country New York city alone made
a gain In September Of more than
million. while Brooklyn showed
relatively big increase. Chicago re-
ported larger gain in the last
three months than for the previous
twelve months. More than 1000 new
accounts were opened during the pc
rioa. bring ing the number Of depos-
itors 10 that city up to over $1,000.
The unexpected Increase In pos

WHAT HAPPENED IN OLYMPIA AND
STATE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
From The Washington Standard For
December ~, 1880. Vol.
XXI. No. s.

The legislature had, when it ad-
journed today for the holidays, been
in session A days, for which service
the state will pay about $4,000. One
hundred and sixteen bills have been
introduced in the house and 20 in
the senate and eight of the house bills
and six Of the senate have passed
both branches. Add to this the pas
sage of % memorials to congress and
the appointment of vast army of
clerks who have as yet nothing to do,
and the resule of the wor kof the leg
islators will be found.
Governor Semple estimates that
the capacity of the various mills in
Washington today is about $780,
100000 feet annually, although the
actual output will only reach about
1000, 900. 900 feet.
A paragraph is going the rounds
that the first apple tree planted in
Washington territory was at Nisqual-
ly, by DR.. w. F. Tolmie, factor of
the Hudson Bay company, in 1850.
This is evidently an error, for apples
were grown on the Bush farm in this
county several years anterior to that
date.
The total eclipse of the sun last
Sunday closed the somewhat remark
able carnival OF solar and lunar eclip-
ses for the year just closing, two of
these being total and one an annular
eclipse of the sun.
An excursion Of members of the
North Dakota legislature left Bismark
on Christmas day to be gone two

and the telegraph reports they will

The street cars began running on
Main street Tuesday and add very
materially to the business appearance
of that thoroughfare. Work has been
resumed on Fourth street and by the
middle of February cars will be run
ming to the Eastside. 1t takes about
eight minutes to ride on the street
cars from Fourth to Twelfth streets,
the present termini. The average
number of passengers each way is
about half-a-dozen.
Even old "Hogem" is beginning to
revive and company will soon build
a wharf and sawmill and begin the
sale of town lots there. This site is
now better known by it's proper name
of Nisqually, but in 1870, when land
spectators were banking on the 10
cation of the Northern Pacific ter
minus at that point, it obtained the
nickname of "Hogem," doubtless
from the rapacity displayed by it's
founders, which has since been it's
accepted designations by our older
settlers.

THE ONCOMING LEGISLATURE.

In little more than two weeks the repre-
sentatves of the people of this state will gather IN
the legislative halls in this city and assume again
the solving of not merely all the ills of the body
polite but everything else Of which some two
hundred men can think, aided and abetted and
haitod and urged and threatened and cajoled by
other individuals, societies and organizations and
for three months the merry whir will be on. We
have been doing it every two years for the last
twenty-five years - and we are going to do it
again.
Into that whirlpool of scheming and log
rolling, debating, jockeying, earnest study, sin
cere intentions and and then, perhaps, regret
able motives and episodes will be plunged, accord
ing to all present indications and appearances the
''wet" and dry" fight every voter in the state
thought was settled November by majority of
more than $4,000. That, aside, Of course, from the
economy program, promises to be the big
issue of the session-and yet it may all amount to
nothing
1t is the most natural thing in the world for
man to fight for his business and livelihood until
the last hope is shattered, but when his fight
ries him again before the representatives of the
people after the people had once turned him
down, the fight loses its individual personal aspect
and becomes once more public affair. So "the
legislature treatment of the subject will be
watched" as the Mount Vernon Herald says in
a more or less threatening way, after discussing
editorally the Schmitz bill, proposed last week,
and also, the Camas Post interjects ''the ques-
ton has just been overwhelmingly settled and the
legislator who would vote to open it up again so
after it had been so decisvely settled would,
to say the least, be taking long chance upon his
return
We may expect the fun to start early, if it 10
going to start at ALL and, if it is permitted to gain
the Roadway possible, it's going to be mighty
interesting to the people on the sidelines look
ing on.

FOLLOWERS OF A STAR.

To every one there come moments of RETROSPECT
ton, brief sketches of time that paint for US the
better things of life when that which would
greater stand before us yet alluring though they
seem so far distant in the bald daylight moments
still more valuable for the days and the memories
they recall the teachings perhaps the joys at least,
of yesteryear, and for these latter glimpses into
ourselves time is conducive, no time so
.stimulatve, as the Christmas
AS we enter into its joys ourselves, as we jour
ney to church or in our own homes honor the birth
day of Him who came to us and for us more than
nineteen hundred years ago, know that thou
sands yea millions are paying the same homage
and the commonalty of praise tends to lift out
of the present for q time of peace and quiet and
inward thought. We minge with relatives,
friends and neghbors, to be true, should,
and yet we one apart from them, too, led by
little Child into a realization of those things
which mean the most to in the last analysis,
followers of the star that shone over the little
town of Bethlehem years and years and years ago.
Not consciously, perhaps but nevertheless
surely, be we minister the veriest guttersnipe,
the best of mankind or the lowest, the Christmas
spirit steals over us, the Christmas meaning seeps
into minds aud some measure, great or small
~of the Christmas love- the real Christmas, enters
or forces its way into our hearts. The huddled
men in the trenches Of poor war torn Europe will
feel it even as you and l. more likely in far
greater measure. To all Of us it comes eagerly
land plentifuly or just scantiy, but come it does
Merry Christmas!
