CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
NO. 40

I'm thinking of home and mother tonight,
As sit by my fire SO cheerful and bright
And the winds low and the pattering rain
Make yearn for the days of my childhood again.
Those days when lay meath the apple trees shade,
And thrush sang above the eggs she had laid;
Her rollicking song full of ife full of love
With the green earth beneath and the blue sky above
But the time has been long and lonely to me.
Since wandered boy, Ger meadow and lea;
At night bringing all my trouble and
To mother, for her tired shoulders to BEAR
Oh! mother, why can | not come to you still.
And drink of your love to my lonely hearts fill;
With my head pilowed close your warm, gentle breast
While you sing old song, and soothe to rest?
There's voice soothe like mothers voice can,
There's touch half the touch of her hand
There's one like mother to wipe way the tears,
No love like mothers to drown all our fears
When the winter of life brings chill to the air.
And sprinkles handful of snow in our hair,
'Ts then that the sound of the Christmas refrain
Makes us long for childhood and mother again.

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for
elief-President Wilson Di-
reefs Attention of Public to
Their Needs.

The committee OF railroad ex-
ecutives, headed by Mr.. Frank
Trumbull, representing thirty
FIVE Of the leading railroad sys-
TENS of the nation, recently pre-
sented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing
the difficulties now confronting
the railroads Of the country and
asking for the cooperation Of the
governmental authorities and the
public in supporting railroad
credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the
railroads be given additional rev.
enues.
The memorandum recites that
the European war has resulted in
general depression of business on
the American continent and in
the dislocation Of credits at home
and abroad. With revendes de-
creasing and interest rates in
creasing the transportation sys-
TENS of the country face a most
serious crisis and the memoran-
dunn is a strong presentation OF
the candle burning at both ends
and the perils that must ultimate
" attend such a confagration
when the flames meet is apparent
to ALL In their general discussion
the railroad representatives say
in part: by reason of legisla-
ton and regulation by the Fed
eral Government and the forty
eight states acting independently
of each other, as well as through
the action of a strong public opin-
ion, railroad expenses in recent
years have vastly increased. No
criticism is here made Of the gen
| eral theory of governmental regu-
lation, but on the other hand, no
ingenuity can relieve the carriers
of expenses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmit
ting the memorandum Of the rail
road presidents to the public,
characterizes it as "a lucid state
ment Of plain truth" The Pres
] ident recognizing the emergency
as extraordinary, continuing, said
in part:
"You ask me TO call the atten-
ton of the country to the imper-
alive need that railway credits
be sustained and the railroads
helped in every possible way,
whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies
and / am glad to do so because |
think the need very real"
The conference was certainly q
fortunate one for the nation and
the President is to be congratu-
lated for opening the gate to a
new world of effort in which
everyone may cooperate.
/ There are many important
problems in our complex civili-
cation that will yield to co-opera-
ton which wifi not lend them
selves to arbitrary rulings Of
commissions and financing rail
roads is one of them. The man
with the money is a factor that
cannot be eliminated from any
business transaction, and the
public is an interested party that
should always be consulted and
happily the President has invited
ali to participate in the solution
Of our railroad problems.

county OFFICIAL PAPER
Washington Standard Awarded Con-
tract For County Printing.

In competition with all the other
papers in the city, the Washington
Standard this week was awarded the
contract for the county printing by
the county commissioners, having
submitted what was considered the
lowest and best bid. The contract
starts July 1.
By obtaining this contract the
Washington Standard is able to be
of still greater service to it's many
subscribers throughout the city and
county and to offer the farmers par
ticularly what they want-the Off
cial proceedings of the county COM
missioners. In this way the farmers
of the county who have shown great
interest this spring in the conduct of
the county affairs will be able to keep
in touch with what is going on
through the official publication of the
proceedings, something they were
unable to do before because the pro-
ceedings were not published in the
paper they read.

TODAY GOOD ROADS DAY
Governor and Highway Commission.
eIs Inspect Pacific Highway.

An official inspection of the Pacific
H 'ghway, from the British Columbia
boundary on the north to the Oregon
line on the south, by Governor Lister
and the other members of the state
highway commission, will be the fea-
ture of the celebration of Good Roads
day in this state, Friday OF this week.
The first plan was for the governor
to make the entire trip from Blaine
to Vancouver. This proving almost a
physical impossibility, at his sugges-
ton the plan was changed. Govern
or Lister started from Blaine at
o'clock this morning and will make
the trip as far as Olympia. At the
same hour State Auditor Clausen and
State Treasurer Meath, also Irpfnhera
of the state highway commission,
started from Olympia to make the
trip to Vancouver.
Ten minute stops at principal towns
en- route were planned for both par
ties and shorter stops were made to
watch the work of parties of farmers,
automobilists and business men who
planned to be busy along the right Of
way with split log drags and other
road improving implements.

NEW HAVEN'S STORY
IS TOLD BY MELLEN
AMAZING TALE or "HIGH FL
NAM Il" REVEALED BY
FORMER PRESIDENT,

! WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20
The story of absolute domination by
the late ]. Pierpont Morgan in the af-
fairs Of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad system-of the
spending of millions in awed and ig-
norant silence at the command of the
| Ial1-powerful financial ruler-was told
to the interstate commerce commits
sion this week by Charles s. Mellenr
| former president of the railroad and
at one time president of the Northern
Pacific.
1t was the most extraordinary
chapter yet unfolded in the commits
sion's inquiry into the alleged exploit
tation of the great New England rail-
road and disappearance of fortunes
from its treasury through. acquisition
at extravagant prices of subsidiary
properties.
Hearers Listen Eagerly.
Members of the commission, coun-
sci and spectators fairly hung upon
every word of Mr. Mellen, as his story
animation by Chief Counsel Folk
Everybody listened with amazement.
as he related how he had stood in
awe of Mr.. Morgan because of his
comprehensive grasp OF financial
matters; how he had consulted Theo-
dore Roosevelt, then president of the
United States, regarding the purchase
of the Boston & Maine railroad; how
he had prevented the late E. H. Har--
riman from acquiring the Boston e.
Maine by getting it himself for the
New Haven and how he had dealt
with the late Police Inspector Thomas
r. Byrnes, of New York, to obtain
The Westchester stock held by per-
sons whom he assumed to be connect
ed with Tammany hall.
AS he did when on the stand last
week, Mr.. Mellen gave his testimony
with apparent willingness. answering
questions readily and concisely-that
is, every question except one. He did
try to avoid telling about the time
when Mr.. Morgan humiliated him by
brusquely refusing to give him in
formation concerning the Westches-
ter transaction, to which he thought
as president of the New Haven, he
was entitled.

CITY CLERK GETS BUSY
Holmes Tells Council How City Ex-
penses Must be Reduced.

Because he says he is the only city
official under bond who could be held
responsible for deficiencies. City Clerk
Holmes notified the city council We'd
nesday evening that beginning Thurs
day he would pay no city li1hting
bills without formal court order; that
the police force must be cut from four
to three men; that the firemen must
do the work of the city hall janitor;
that the bridge tender must 60 and
his work be done by the police de-
partment; that the street department
must be cut from l. to six men; that
the engineering department must be
discontinued as soon as the amount
on hand-$714-is spent; that the
city park expenses must be cut to the
salary of one caretaker and the neces-
sary feed for the animals. and that
he will pay no bills not approved by
himself.
This action is taken as the result of
the supreme court decision limiting
the levy in third-class cities to 10
mills. The council has taken no def
mite action aside from cutting of the
lights, but will meet Friday night for
further consideration Of the situation.
The municipal affairs and taxation
committees Of the Chamber Of Com
merce presented a communication to
the council recommending practically
the same reductions as ordered by the
city clerk, but urging some compro-
mise between the city and the Olym-
pia Light & Power company on the
lighting question. SO the city would
not be thrown into darkness.
