The tenth annual August
Housskeepers' sale of the Wo.
mans store was inaugurated
on Tuesday, and as will be seen
from the large advertisement in
this issue, many big bargains are
offered in blankets, sheets, pillow
cases. curtains, draperies, table
linens, towels, mating and rugs
This is one of the big trade events
that housekeepers look forward
to, September first is only two
weeks off and as many people
move about that time. this sal
will afford them an opportunity
OF buying such household goods
as they will need at a big savin.
in price. The sale should attract
more interest than usual as it is
claimed that the war in Europe
is going to cause a shortage OF
merchandise in all lines and that
prices will be much higher

issue of the Commercial; you vii

"lt's a SAD Story, Mates"

Never before has the United States
sunk so low in it's relations with
other countries" laments the Hon.
Curtis Guild of Boston. we are the
joke of the chancellories of the world.
We have touched the nadir of hum.
lation." This is serious. When the
Hon. Curtis Guild begins to talk
about the "nadir of humiliation" you
may know that he is about as full
of woe and dire forebodings as are
Congressman Johnson and Humph-
ries and Minority Leader Mann and
Uncle Joe Cannon and Fire Alarm
Foraker, all OF whom are fioundering
in the slough of political despond and
refusing TO be comforted so long as

We're not Mr.. Guild and his as.
sociate Jeremiahs so obsessed with
their selfmade griefs they might dis
cover that the nations foreign re-
lations are not so hopelessly poor
after all. About the time Mr.. Guild
was voicing his humiliation, the Bri-
fish warshps were aiding the United
States in rescuing Americans in Mex
leo; g. German diplomat was defying

Mexico; Japan was turning back
Huerta's emissaries who were trying

representatives, ar Washington and

tine, Brazil and Chilli were rendering
their good Offices and mediation pro.

Mexico and Annexation.

Annexation seems to be the first
thought that occurs to some Amer
leans every time we have little dip
lomatic difference with neighboring
country We had very considerable
body of otherwise safe and sane cit
liens clamoring for several years for
the annexation of Cuba. despite the
determination of a majority of our
people that our duty in Cuba should
end with the restoration of peace and
the establishment of stable govern
ment. Champ Clark threatened to
have Canada annexed simply because
the Canadians refused to accept our
reciprocity proposition. Now there is
a Glamour for the annexation Of
Mexico.
Colonel Henry Watterson, editor Of
the Louisville Courier-Journal. is for
getting into action at once and driv-
ing the Mexicans into the ocean.
The Chicago Tribune demands the
enlistment OF an army of 100000
men and the immediate subjugation
of Mexico, removing the Rio Grande
boundary and extending our empire
to the Panama canal. The Chicago
Inter.Ocean calmly announces that
our flag has been raised on Mexican
soil and can never r., lowered. And
William Randolph Hearst is likely to
secede from the union if We fail to
adopt his plans tor the annexation

Of Mexico without further delay.
Senator Borah Of Idaho, whose
faculty for getting outside the traces
amounts TO positive genius, declares
that the United States have an utter
incapacity for minding our own bust
ness and leaving the internal con-
Germs of other governments to their
own people" He fairly weeps when
he thinks OF President Wilson's
course in sending troops to Vera
Cruz. He declares that it would be
national calamity for this country
10 acquire Mexico and yet, he insists,
our flag is on Mexican soil and it will
never come down; that we are en-
gagged in an enterprise that means
the taking OF every foot of land be-
tween the Rio Grande and Panama;
that if we war against the united
people of Mexico. as he says we must
expect to do We shall be in the cOun-
try so long as 70 forget the habit of
coming out
That sounds somewhat complicated,
even after you have taken it home
and tried it en- your piano, but that
is the way Senator Borah feels about
it. That is the way he feels about
most things relating to our country
and the flag He has coaxed, or
coached himself into the belief that
the American nation is the sport of
Manifest Destiny and her course must
be shaped by the Logic of Events
II Manifest Destiny wishes a war on
us that will mean fighting for gen.
Grafton and national disgrace for all
time to come. all We can do is to &C.
cept 1t, drink the bitter cup to its
dregs and wait for the next number
on the program.
Senator BOrah and the rest OF his
school, who get patriotic only when
the boys are fighting at the front,
should be honest with themselves and
the people, for a change. II they
favor annexation of Mexico, they
should come out frankly and advo
cate it, instead OF talking about Mani.
fest Destiny. Most of these flag.
ce-raised-shall-never be lowered"
patriots are trying to embarrass the
administration in it's handling of the
exceedingly trying situation in Mex
leo.

The Blow Stag0ers.

Our esteemed, If beclouded, friend,
Major Patton, of the HoQuiam Wash
ingtonian, is growing crouch that
does not betoken well for the climatic
influence of Hoquiam. Far be from
US to cast the slightest aspersion
upon the climate of our dearly be-
loved little sister to the west, but
some influence or other has turned
the erstwhile boosting major into one
of those pesimistic pests that society
tolerates-and pities.
With those few remarks, we will
proceed to name the cause of our dis
pleasure with the major. In recent
issue he gives vent to the following
lament, and, as if the prelude was
not sufficiently discouraging, he
brings in our old friend Blagen to
substantiate the fact that the "starv-
ing hordes" (The condition is Of the
Washingtonians making, not ours)
in the United States are facing a
blow in the face that means price
of -four and meat that will permit
the average man to eat both twice
a week without shuddering when he
passes his grocer or butcher
Here is the wall: Note it closely.
The people of Washington state
are probably harder hit by demo-
cratic legislation than are those
of any other portion Of the
United States. The removal of
the tariff on farm products has
administered a blow to our ag.
riculturists which they will find it
hard to Withstand. Crops promise
to be large, but prices may be
vastly disappointing.
As for the lumberman Of Wes-
tern Washington, free trade and
canal tolls bid fair to put him out
of business altogether. Mr.. N.
]. Blagen, of the Grays Harbor
Lumber company, recently stated
in a letter to Congressman John
son, that the best prospective
freight rate he could get on lum-
Der to be carried to Eastern
points through the canal, by coast
wise vessels, was s13. while the
Balfour.Guthrie company were
offering to carry lumber from
British Columbia for 81 thous-
and feet. A differential of IS a
thousand is bound to initiate
against the industry in this Sec
ton.
You will observe that when we are
properly looted by finding our food
supplies within reach we are going
to have a deluge of lumber The
last section of the majors wall is
not entitled to serious consideration.
To begin with the Panama Canal
tolls per thousand feet of lumber
have not yet been determined, yet
we are told that it gives British
Columbia "a differental of Sc per
thousand Feet" Somebody was jolly
ing the major, and it will require
evidence to convince the Herald that
N. J. Blagen was the guilty person
