MR. WILSON'S
FIRST YEAR.

Woodrow Wilson was inaugurated
President Of the United States one
year ago today, and that he has full
filled the expectations of the large
majority of suffragans of the Uni
ted States who supported him goes
without saying. Backed by demo-
cratic majority in both houses of
Congress, the work of carrying out
the platform of the dominant party
has been slow but determined, and
the wisdom of the administration IS
being acknowledged in all sections.
Former President Taft, who, by a
popular vote, was called upon to va
cate the executive mansion and give
place to Mr.. Wilson, sustains his
successor in many of his policies.
There has for many years been a
strange notion among some people
that the republican party only is
capable of conducting the country
upon business principles. The abb
snrditv OF such an illusion has al
ways been apparent, while the his
tory of the past year should COM
pletely obliterate it.
The republican party Is at pres
emf at loss for an issue, as the
sympathy of a large majority OF inc
country is with the party now IN
mower. All the dismal pictures when
have at times been flashed by the
oncmics Of democracy have given
Mace to new reels, and within re"
weeks the gloomy winter will nave
nassed away. and the advent OF
snring will be accompanied by re-
newed activity in business circles
any Joy and contentment will become
more pronounced throughout the
vast domain.
We have been compelled to disa-
cree with the President on his Mex
lean policy bat have never question
cd his honest efforts to bring aoout
a solution of this dangerous sltua-
ton.

DEATH OF BISHOP Bowl ~.
Venerable Methodist iayman Passe'
Away in New Jersey.

Bishop Thomas Bowman, the o. eS
Methodist Episcopal minister IN TN:

Seminary, Williamsport, Pa, died yes

Ordained in Baltimore 60 years as0
Mr. Bowman for several years IN the
early forties served in the Baltimore
conference Of the Methodist Ep.scora
Church. He was an eloquenC preach
pr man of strong inteilearuaht!
aud eep student of the Bible.
Bishop Bowman was born n Der

nary studies, he took up his course fai

! that such movements are not sane
toned from on high.
It has often been observea, tha;
when a preacher throws his hat into
a political ring he has; all to lose ano
nothing to gain. He makes himself
cheap and loses his influence w:th
those who are averse to Introducing
questions of political economy into e.
clesiastical bodies. t
Many passages in national, state
| and municipal history 'couI5, -be pre-
duced to prove this. assertion. Even
where the church has been successful
it has exercised; buttia temporary tri-
un,ph. and the last state of certain
communities has, been worse than2the
first. sa>.. p
There is no need Of going outside
our own country for references. Phc
splits in certain churches over issues
which brought about the disruption Of
the United States over half century
ago is enough.
The aftermath of the bitterness al
that time is in evidence by existing
northern AMI southern church bodies
Although attempts have at times beer.
made to unite the great wings CT Ger
tain ecclesiastical organizations, 1oi
reasons best known to themselves,
thew remain as intact as in the Gay;
Of the civil strife. While a better
feeling nay exist than in by-gona
wears. there seems to be but little aus
position to come together.
The flames of civil war were a
tia,es fanne;i in pulpits. and preach-
ers became the allies Of po!:tlca
tricksters. While the blood Ct NIL
lions may not be calling from the
ground for vengeance, the welding o.
the cross and the sword place blotci
upon church bodies which is Still ais
cernab!e without the aid of micro
scope. 49,,
Socialism IS militant, and shouts th'
church thoughtlessly enter into ar
unholy alliance with this organiza-
ton. the cross and crown VIII Dc
found among emblems calculated Z
cause the angels to weep.
It is a true saying that politics an'
religion maketh strange beofellows
This is the experience of mdi''du"iS
and when the church has raised pol
teal banner it has found that yu!tofes
fro mall points of the c"1pz5s nav
taken roost in its camp.

The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1914-04-11

It is related that a suit was
brought before a justice against
a railroad company for the killing
of a COW. The best plaintiff could
do at the trial was to show that
the engine struck the cow as she
approached the track from the
right of way; that upon being
struck she ''kicked up her heels"
and scampered away into near
by woods, and had not since been
seen, though efforts had been
made to locate her dead body.
The justice took time to consider,
and later wrote the claim agent
of the company:
Il will have to give judgment
for plaintiff for the full amount
claimed. The evidence shows
that the engine struck the COW
and that she has not been found
since. The reasonable presump-
ton from this is that she was
either killed or forced to leave
the community"

week won a point in the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern
tax suits, involving more than
$500. 900, when railroad repre-
sentatives, during argument on
the demurrer, admitted their
original complaints were faulty.
Attorney General Tanner repre-
sented all counties except Spo-
kane, and argued that the tax
commission did not err in assess
ing railroads as going concerns,
instead of fixing the value of
their rails, spikes, etc., as sepa-
rate parts. If any mistake was
made, he said, it was be-
cause the commission failed to
value stores, newspapers, etc.,
as going concerns, but that the
difference that would be made in
railroad taxes by such assess
ents would be inconsequental.
Stevens county was one of the
five counties of the state which
demanded separate appearances
that the fight against the rail-
road tax rebate be continued, j.
A. Rockford as assistant prose-
cutting attorney for this county
appearing before the court in
Thurston county in behalf of this
county. In case the railroads
are victorious, this county will
have to pay to the state several
thousand dollars in tax moneys
which we have never received,
hence the activity on behalf of
the prosecuting attorneys office.
AS the matter now stands, the
treasurer has been instructed to
accept the tax offered by the
railways, but without losing to
this county the right of further
action to collect the balance.

In no uncertain terms three of
the five presidents of Spokane
national banks, the other two
being out of the city, express
their dissatisfaction with the dis
tribution of the federal reserve
banks, not because Spokane
failed to get one, but because
they feel political influence has
played a big part in the matter,
and that the needs of the coun-
try, especially the western coun-
try, have not been recognized.
The local bankers long ago
abandoned the hope that a fed
eral reserve bank would be es-
tablished in Spokane, but be-
lieved the west would be ade-
quately represented. Such they
claim is not the case in the ap-
portionment announced yester-
day. -Spokesman-Review.
The loss of one of the IL fed
eral reserve banks for either Sc
attic or Spokane is only one of
the many severe losses by this
state by reason of not having a
proper representation in con-
gress. This state has no repre-
sentative at the national capital
who is in full sympathy with the
administration, and until this
state wakes up sufficiently to
send some capable man to the
u. s. senate, and others to the
house, we can hardly expect to
be recognized, or to receive
many favors. According to the
press reports which have limited
at the strong influence which
George Turner has exercised in
the matter of federal appoint
ments, we imagine that even the
radically partisan opposition pa
pers will soon wake up to the
fact that it is some such a man
who must be sent to Washington
If this state ever receives any
particular notice.
Judging by the vote of Spo-
kane county at the last election,
we fail to see where Spokane has
any kick coming on what she
don't get now.

sumers will be effected by the
new democratic tariff law. This
of course doesn't amount to any
thing, but it tends to make a few
families in this section feel kindly
toward the administration which
opposes duty on necessities.
