Bank Commissioner Sawyer has
the right idea, He says there will
be no more soft snaps in bank re-
ceiverships; he will put his assist
ants in charge and save the deposit
tors the salary of receiver when
a bank is in difficulty. The abb
lene State bank receivers salary
was over $4,000 and all this could
have been saved by following Saw
yer's sensible plan.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THOU SHALT NOT KILL"

Editor Day Book:-Read this over
and see if it says in any way except
Christian way. Does it say it is all
right to kill Servians if they do not
belong to the Catholic Church; or
Russians if they insist on worship
ping, God according to their own die
tates; or German because all are not
members of the Catholic Church; or
English because they worship as King
George says; or Austrians because
the majority follow the Roman
Catholic faith; or Belgians because
some choose to be Socialists; or
Mexicans because they wish their in
dependence?
Don't it qualify killing" in any
way-even to the killing of innocent
sheep, cattle and hogs, much less
men?
Does this one verse of compassion
for all living things discriminate in
favor of kings, emperors, presidents
or just common people when it states
':Thou shalt not kill?"
Is;it any more a crime for an igno=
rant negro filled with animus to STAY
five or six persons with an axe and
set fire to the house than for six
nations at the zenith of civilization,
arts, sciences, inventions, manufac-
turing and commercial supremacy to
declare war on each other?
Is there God so silly as to favor
one system of killing as against an
other simply because the killers ask
his aid?
Thou shalt not kill" applies alike
to those human hyenas, ghouls who
prey upon the weak and suffering
wives and children by buying up all
provisions in sight and holding same
until they get their price, causing
some to die of starvation.
When person is dead does it mat
ter whether they were killed with
cannon ball, bullet, saber, sword,
dagger fagots, poison, drawn or

earth" tells their congregations on

then on Monday ask God to aid in the

PEACE
Editor Day Book
While the heavens are at peace r.
And Ethera breathes ease,
Man on earth defiIed and sore
Breeds the brood of waste and war.
According to history, revolutions
rise where man forgets that he is
human and war is started where that
same man turns naughty.
my peace 1 give unto you; peace ]
leave with you," once Jesus said, but
the world will not have peace, neither
is it disposed to give us peace. The
greatest virtue of man is not his
learning, but the blessings of peace
that insure prosperity" e.. a..r..
Instead of the heads of the denom-
nations at London, Rome and Rus
STA crying for success to our arms,
they may take lesson from the man
who parted from his beloved with
these words: Let me breathe a
prayer to you as the Hindoos do, may
the peace of Allah abide with you"
Peace on earth is only possible
through peace of God, and they who
attempt to gain it by any inventions
of man seeks it in vain, for God made
man perfect, but man has made unto
himself many inventions of imperfec-
ton he now attempts to eradicate
through war. ..-.--
1 created thee a noble vine, how
art thou become an abomination and
strange plant unto me.
Yea, to atone and end all groan,
just stand alone and mind thine own.
Thence comes release; turns pain to
ease, while God will give thee peace,
peace, peace.-John.

INDUSTRIAL
INSURANCE
State Labor Commissioner
And Insurance Committee
Seeking the Best

OLYMPIA, Feb. 23.-In an effort
to decrease the accident rate the
industrial insurance commission and
Labor Commissioner E. w. Olson are
cooperating in organization of. mill
and factory workers for their own
protection.
In each mill safety committee"
of three workers will be organized,
to which the other employees will be
asked to report any defects in mach
inery or other dangerous conditions
likely to lead to accidents. The CON-
mittee also will investigate conditions
on its own iniative and suggest
needed changes.
The two departments of the state
will also issue booklet that will con.
tain safety suggestions, directions. for
furnishing first aid" treatment 10
accident victims and instructions to
be followed in obtaining compensa-
ton. The two departments also have
arranged a number of warning pla.
cards that will be posted around
dangerous machinery.
Although the industrial insurance
act compensates injured workmen,
the desire of the department is to
prevent accidents so far as this is
possible. A considerable increase in
the number of accidents is shown by
the second annual report of the in.
dustrial insurance commission. The
experience of Germany, under work
mems compensation laws, also shows
an increase in the accident rate.
Statistics compiled by the corlmis-
sion show that less than 8 per cent
of all accidents are attributed to
faulty machinery or lack of mechan-
ical safeguards. The factory inspec-
tors are working to eliminate even
this small percentage of accidents.
but the commission and the labor
commission feel that greatest head
way may be made in organizing the
workmen for their own protection.
Gratifying evidences of cooperation
between the workers and the employ
ers along this line already are being
received. A. Fl. Garrison, secretary
of the United Metal Trades Associa-
ton of the Pacific coast, has taken
the matter up with employers in the
metal industry with the result that
number of the safety committees
already have been appointed and are
at work. Organization of the lumber
mill and other woodworking estab-
lishments will be attempted next.

RAILROAD ACTIVITY.
New Railway map Of Northern Paci.
fic shows a new branch line
possible Grays Harbor.

A new map showing the Northern
Pacific system just received here con-
veys an important bit of news by
showing a proposed line from Kelso
to this city by the way of South Bend
and Raymond. This cutoff has been
built on paper for long period, but
not until yesterday was it given out
officially by the Northern Pacific COM
pany that it was included in the plans
of railroad construction.
The latest map of the Northern
Pacific is unquestionably the best
ever issued by railroad company.
for it not only portrays the exact
route of the system across the conti-
nent, but also furnishes a perfect
map of the country traversed. 1t
shows the Burlington route and as
another feature shows the territory
traversed by the Canadian Northern
and Grand Trunk Pacific railroads.
Officials of the company declare
that the marking on the map of the
proposed line to Kelso is a sure in
dication of an early start on the con-
struction of that line, and this will
be good news to Harborites. The HO.
quiam Commercial Club gathered data
last year on business to develop for
such line.

johnson Talks in New York
Representative Albert Johnson of
the Tacoma district, who is in such
favor as an orator that he is obliged
to turn down many invitations to
speak which the pressing demands of
his Office will not permit him to ac
cept, took advantage of the fact that
today is a national holiday in Wash
ington, D. c., and went over to New
York, where he was the principal
speaker at large meeting of men,
bers of the Junior Order of Mechan-
les and allied patriotic societies in
Masonic hall, Brooklyn, this afternoon.
In addition to dwelling upon the in.
spring lessons to be learned from the
life of George Washington Mr.. John
son spoke on immigration and natural
ization and other live problems of the
present day. Mr.. Johnson is receiv.
ing numerous invitations to address
republican "get-together" meetings. 1t
is generally recognized that he makes
very happy address on these occas.
ions and one that has tendency to
bring former opponents together in
amicable political relations.

HULET GETS JUDGMENT.
Decision Of superior court may set
pace for numerous suits against
City of Aberdeen.

MONTESANO, Feb. 23-In the
matter of the suit for damages by H.
E. Hulet against the City of Aberdeen,
Judge Sheeks has rendered decis-
ion awarding Hulet damages in the
sum of $1.75O. 1t is said here in
legal circles that this decision stands
to bleed the City of Aberdeen Of more
than 100000.
The case involved the improvement
of what is known as Terrace Heights,
in Aberdeen, and unless reversed by
the supreme court, bids fair to mulct
the city for quite sum, as a number
of similar cases are said to be
pending.
