Tho Republican State Platform.

The platform adopted at Tacoma
by the Republican state convention
used up large quantity Of the Eng
lish language without really saying
very much. 1t contains the usual
platitudes that are supposed to catch
the fool vote in rather more than
the usual quantity and finds fault
with everything the Democratic party
has done or tried to do in the ma
tional and state governments.
To the thoughtful mind, the mis-
takes of the dominant party may be
many and serious and palpable, but
there Is small vOtegetting power in
pointing them out or in dwelling up
on them by the opposition party un-
less that party can in a convincing
manner demonstrate it's intention as
we'll as it's ability, if given an oppor-
tunity, to correct them. This the
platform under consideration has ut
terly failed to do.
Among the legislative enactments,
state and national, favored by the
platform, the voters will answer that
the Republican party had Is years
of absolute control in the national
government and in that of the state
and that If any wise legislation is
needed that party had had the op-
portunity to place it on the statute
books long ago. If, as they declare,
taxation in this state is a serious
handicap to its development, the vot-
or is apt to reply that the republi-
can party has had control of this
state almost continuously since state
hood was conferred, and is absolutely
responsible for every extravaganza
committed and for the wretched sys-
tenn Of taxation under which the de-
velopment Of the state halts and stag
gers.
The people of the state Of Wash
ington have broken their party fet-
ters, and will be slow to resume them
upon the mere say SO of the same
old bunch of leaders, who, reaction
airy in their hearts, deal out the
bundle Of platitudes contained in this
platform. The conclusion of the plat,
form proves abundantly the DISPOSE
ton to turn back the wheels of pOliti.
cal progress and return to the good
old days, when a republican state
convention was held for hours await
ing the arrival of railroad mag
nate to tell it whom to nominate
for governor.
Those reactionaries would publish
the political leaning of every voter,
by compelling each to announce his
or her politics when registering, thus
giving the bosses a line on their sub
iects as we'll as having tendency
to coerce employees of large concerns
which engage in politics as "a mat
ter of business" and whose influence
is usually paid for by the balance
of the community.
The primary law needs amend
ment, but not alnog restrictive lines
We should have primary ballo'
similar to that of the general cleo
ton, giving the voter an opportunit!
to assist in nominating the, to him
best man, regardless of party. Thi
is especially true of state and coun
ty officers, where the issue is a bust
ness one, not political.

Some British Sinseures.

Gladstone was born at a time when
sinecures such as those held BY Horace
Walpole still abounded. and to the end
of his life be took lenient view Of the
persons who prof1ted by them. A. G..
G. Liddell records In his diary on
March IL. 1892: "Dined with the Cob
hams. Mr.. Gladstone there.
Some one alluded to the diminution Of
sinecures. Mr.. Gladstone said that
there was nothing dishonorable in &C.
cepting a sinecure II It was recognized
BY the society IN which 1t existed and
not considered unusual or unworthy.
One Of the last sinecures, where there
was absolutely nothing to do, which
was not the case with all sinecures,
was the Office OF chief Justice in eyre
north Of the Trent It was held by
Tom Duncombe and was worth 1900
per annum."--London Spectator.

volumes of smoke. At first we could

ed over and sank. She disappeared in
less than five minutes.

Outstanding that has been reached
between this Southern leader and
General Villa appear to be pleasing
rather than otherwise to General
Carranza's supporters here, who. it is
supposed, reflect carranza's opinion in
this respect.
In general the plan now will be to
besiege Zapata and Villa. cutting
every railroad and starving them into
surrender If possible but forcing their
capitulation at that point in any way
which may become necessary.
Ysidre Fabala, Carranza's minister
of foreign affairs, who has located his
Office here. expressed the convicti1n
last night that the task of subduing
Zapata and Villa would not be nearly
so difficult as appeared He admitted
that the consequences for Mexico City
would be bad. He also admitted that
already there had been received news
that followers of Zapata had sacked
certain parts of the capital.
Just who is in control of Mexico
City is not known here by the Car
rama officials. according to Senior Fa-
bella. 1t is reported that neither Gem
eral Zapata nor General Villa is In
the city. The latter perhaps has head
quarters at Queretaro. but he may be
further south. Generals Obregon and
Blaneo are occupying strategic posi-

COMMITTEE REPORTS LONG LIST OF
ATROCITIES IN WAR SWEPT CAL|CIA

Lemberg, Galacia, Nov. 26.-(Via
Petrograd and London, 2.10 P. MA
committee appointed to investigate
conditions in Galicia reports that
there have been wholesale murders,
executions and excesses of every de-
scription in war-swept Galicia. Thou
sands of starving and homeless fami-
lies give evidence of these conditions.
The Russian population, the COM
mittce says, suffered more severely
less from natural consequences OF war
than from the cruelty of Austrian off
Gals who always suspected the loyalty
OF the Galician populace and have
acted with marked severity.
The committee reports that it es-
tablished the fact that in seven coun-
ties 25s men have been Shot or
wounded, including two priests.
Throughout Galicia. it is estimated,
10000 arrests have been made and 1000
executions have taken place.
In FIVE counties, the committee
states, its members counted 1850 burn
ed homesteads. In the county in which
Przemysl is located. there are 1926
families, WIN $500 children under five
years Of AK who are homeless.

Robbery and the sacrilege of
churches are reported and it is said
that whole families, including babies,
children and decrepit old men-in one
instance a deaf mute--haye been
thrown into prison.
Near Przemysl the committee re-
ports every village has been burned.
In the neighborhood of Jaslo 100 per-
sons in a deserted hamlet were found
to have been hanged. Most Of these
outrages are said by the committee
to have been committed by Hungari-
ans. 1t is stated that Cossacks who
were pursuing a detachment of Hun
garians found the body of one Rus
sian girl who had been crucified. 1t is
also alleged that in one field hospital
five persons, horribly mutilated, were
received. The committee reports that
all these facts have been authenticat-
ed.
The report said that the Russian
troops had ben aroused to a high pitch
OF fury against the enemy.
The members 70 the committee made
their investigations under the direction
OF its president. Count Babrinsky,
governor general of Galicia.
