The Harvester Decision.

The opinions Of the United States District court
~ Minnesota dissolving the international Har-
vester Company disclose a very different state
~ facts from those which existed in the Standard
on and the Tobacco cases. In view Of the strong
dissent by Judge Sanborn it is fair TO regard the
,.ase as a border line decision involving closer
,sehnition Of the rule Of reason" than has yet
,en attempted by the Supreme Court.

BLAMES ENGLISH DIPLOMACY
Accuses American Government oil
Partially and Press of Bias.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial in Saturday
Tribune, headed american Sentiment
Toward Germany" you attempt to snow
that there is no anti-German sentiment
among the people or the press of this
country.
The editorial is written in about the
same vein as most of the articles APP
pearing in the English press and the
press in this country.
The aim is TO misrepresent the Ger
man government and the German peo-
pie by repeated statements that the
German government invited the conhict
and defied all other nations with view
of forcing the war.
If an Indian were approaching your
house, torch in hand, ready to set 1t on
fire, would you wait until he had COM
mitted the act? No, you would shoot
him down to save your home even
though your act would cause a general
uprising. That was the position Of Ger.
many.
would like to suggest to few OF
our editors and to a portion of the
American people that they read the
book Pan-Germanism," by Professor
G. Usher, Of the Washington Univer-
sity, st. Louis, and they will learn a
few facts about the German govern
ment and people and about the facts
which led up to this war and forced
Germany TO take the step she has taken.
They will learn that the war was not
entered into without hesitation and
that it was not the Kaiser's wild
militarism" which caused It. Whatever
the results may be. it is not a wild
prediction to say that future gener'
alton, studying the history of this war
written after the heat of the conflict
has passed, will learn that 1t was
mainly the diplomatic hand of England
which guided the nations into this
conflict for its ultimate benefit.
The thorn in the flesh of the English
nation, and il also pricks the flesh OF
the American people is: made in Ger

practically dictated the fate OF the
Russian Empire. During the past Rus.
sian revolution the fercest enemies or
revolutionists were the Baltic Germans.
The Car sent Baron Korff and Baron
Nolcken to shoot down the rebellious
Esthonians and Let's in 1906, because
he knew that the German officers would
not give mercy to anyone. Russia has
taken most of its bureaucratic system
and militaristic ideas from Germany.
Germany in that respect has not been
beneficial but detrimental to Russian
national evolution.
In calling Russians barbarians. the
defenders of the Kaiser should know
that Russian art and literature are Of
a most wonderful power and original
ity. Russian music and drama excel
in their sincere tendencies. The Rus
SLAMS never think that they are the
supreme of all nations as the Ger
mans do. Deutschland, Deutschland
ieber allies" is megalomaniac ex-
preston, and that seems TO be the
watchword of the defenders of the
Kaiser. But the present war will show
though it is a proof Of barbaric and
brutal, but not civilized, supremacy
whether the policy of the Kaiser is so
divine as his followers believe it to be.
On this war hangs not only the fate
Of the Kaiser and his defenders, but
that Of all European autocrats. For
that very reason all Russia is az pres
ent united into one huge. homogeneous,
living power, and there is no sign Of
any revolution, as was the case during
the japanese war All Russian people
ere conscious Of the fact that Russia
in the present crisis must and will win.

GERMAN OBSOLETE" TACTICS
The Reason for Close Formation
Charges Is Pointed Out.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We see much in the papers
about Germany's obsolete" tactics in
using the closed formation. OF one
thing we may be sure: that in TINS war
no obsolete methods will be employed
and last of all by Germany.
The open formation is for battles IN
the open and for most kinds Of lighting
except where intrenchment must be
taken at any cost in short time. Then
it simply becomes a question OF wheth-
er it is worth the price, whether the
position is worth the thousands that
must be sacrificed. Such defences can
not be rushed by open formation pc
cause overwhelming numbers cannot De
concentrated at a given point OF resist
ance except by close formation.
The japanese showed the military
world these tactics in storming the
Russian intrenchments in Manchuriai
and Germany has taken the lesson
from her former pupil in the science Of
war. CHAhLEo FbHlN'

ELECTION PLAN PUZZLES
Washington Opinions Differ A. To
Count OF Second Choice.

mpia-With the campaigns OF
most candidates for the United States
senatorship under way. serious doubt
still exists as to whether there will
be second-choice voting next Septem-
Der in the primaries for this office.
Under the Washington primary law
second-choice voting prevails in the
primaries for congressional and state
offices whenever there are four or
more candidates for one nomination.
The bill passed by congress providing
a method for the direct nomination
and election of senators says the same
procedure shall be followed in states
which have not already specially pro
vided" for nomination or election.
Under the general Interpretation OF
this act, second-choice votes would
prevail In the democratic primaries.
where there are already four candi-
dates, and possibly in the progressive
primaries.
Former Mayor Cotterill, OF Seattle.
however, it is understood, is prepared
to contend that Washington already
has legal provision for the nomina-
ton of candidates for United States
senators and that the act of congress
therefore would not apply. From the
present indications ex-Mayor Cotter-
i'll and ex-senator Turner are the lea l.
ing democratic candidates.

FerndsIe Gets Condensery

According TO the Ferndale Record
John b. Agen. the Mount Verne n
condensery man, has decided to 10
cate his new industrial enterprise
in that town. and is now stalking
out the grounds for tie condensery
buildings.
Some two months ego Mr.. Agen
made oyertures TO the Lynden Com
mercial Committee looking toward
the location of bis enterprise in
this city. TIE committee at once
TOOK up the matter and after sew
eral meetings and consultations de-
cided to aid him insofar as the Sc
curing of a sight was concerned.
Mr.. Agen gave it out that he
would invest something like $50,-
600 in buildings this year. The
committee wired him that ii would
secure IA site for him. the "dona-
ton" part of the agreemnt to de-
pend upon what kind of a site he
wanted. Mr.. Agen informed the
comittee that he would be at Lyn-
den on certain date, but that was
the last heard of him or any of his
associates.
Marked copies of the Ferndale
Record in which appeared articles
pointing to the generosity OF the
people of that town, and the
raising of money to buy q $4,000
site were sent here. This bait"
however. did not induce the c/m-
mercial committee to work over
time in going The Ferndale ehle
one better"
The commercial committee is of
the opinion that Agen never had any
intention of locating cOndensery
in Lynden, never intended aXpend
ing $4,000 here, and that III rs
much rs he stated that he prefer
red TO locate the new enterprise on
the main line of the Great Northern
railroad, bis overtures 10 Lynden
were merely strains of enchantment
to beautiful club selection to in
dlce Ferndale to come through.
Ii the report be true, that Agen
has located his cOndensery at
Ferndale his decision was probably
caused by the belief that that town
had railway connections more suit
I'd to bis purpose. Nevertheless,
Lynden will continue to remain the
social, commercial and industrial
center of the Nooksack Valley
the most prosperous and most beaut
iful town of its size in the Pacific
Northwest.

Don't MisIead the Voter
On Initiative Measures.

Thorough painstaking inyestiga-
ton of the object, merit and general
public need of the Legislative re-
forms sought through and by the
initiative petitions, is necessary If
the voter is to gain an accurate
personal knowledge of the possible
effect economic or administrative OF
the proposed measures.
There is however, one element
entering into the controversy in
vOlved in discussing the merits and
the demerits of the proposed initi-
ative measures, that is neither JUS
tifiable nor creditable. This is The
apparent utter misrepresentation
statements evidently coming from
the opponents of these meas
If any of these measures are either
vicious or impra cticable they should
be truthfully presented. Why ex-
aggerate or misrepresent. An ex-
ample of this is shown in the wild
estimates OF the cost of checking
the initiative petitions in Seattle.
These estimates were unjustly plac-
ed at from $4,000 to 100000. The
truth is finally out and Comptroller
Carroll declares the cost will be
only $3,5OO. This, on Il valuation
Of $4,000. 900, is only one-sixtieth
of mill. Say what we may, the
initiation movement Is in motive,
purpose and intent, fundamentally
honest human endeavOr for better
ment. The measures. one and all
may be crude. imperfect, impractic-
able, visionary and dangerous.
1t is the pro and con of these
conclusions the voter desires TO
know that he may use his inalien-
able right of citizenship rightly and
with discriminative intelligence.
Woe to the man who for sOrdid
gain or pecuniary advantage at
tempts to betrsy the voter. Out
with the truth. Misjnterpretation
means defeat.
Let the campaign of education
begin; take the initiative measures
one by one, analyze it's legal AS
poets; rightly interpret its object;
clearly present the facts, the dn-
colOred, unprejudicial. uHbir SID
facts. The voter will do the rest.
Misrepresentation always arouses
distrust and suspicion which paves
the way to ignominious defeat

Weak Appeal From
An Ex.Proqfessive.

The Navy Yard American, pub
lished at Bremerton takes issue
with Mr.. Prendergast, the New
Yorker who recently visited this
state in the interests of the Re-
publican party. Prendergast is the
Progressive who "faltered and
to raise thunder for the old party
We're of dismal failure.
Says the American:
The much-advertised Prender-
CAST, renegade Bull Moose, who is
NOW back in the Republican ranks,
appeared in Seattle last week, told
the people why he is no longer a
Progressive. and called upon all
Prograssives to come back with him
into the Republican fold.
Did the Progressives stampede to
follow him?
Not exactly.
Not single Progressive is yet
recorded as having been influenced
in the direction of the Republican n
party by reason of Prendergast S
visit
Prendergast's message consisted
Of statement that unless there is
an amalgation of PrOgressives and
Republicans it will be impossible 10
beat the Democrats, and On elo-
quent appeal to the Bull Moosers
10 come back into the Republican n
camp in order that the Democrats
may be beaten His appeal WAS
definite and straightforward but ii
lacked dra wing power.
The weakness of the Prendergast
appeal lies in the fact that the aver
age Progressive don't care tink-
er's continental about beating the
Democrats or any one else. The
strength of the Progressive does not
lie either in desire for revenge
nor for the spoils of office The
Progressive party has before il a
definite program of greatly needed
Legislation and governmental re-
forms. and any successful appeal for
anal ga nation made by the rapidly
dwindling Repu blican minority must
be upon a much higher basis than
the corn beef and cabbage call OF
Prendergast.
