Washington, Aug. s.-Alone. with
his grief, Pres. Wilson sat yesterday
in the darkened death chamber with

even closer. .....
Only official duties that demanded
absolute attention were discharged.
Then he returned to the side of his
dead. From time to time his daugh-
tiers stole in and Vainly tried to COM
fort him, but he urged them to leave
him to keep his vigil alone.
The funeral of Mrs. Wilson will be

ONE MANS OPINIONS

BY N. D. COCHRAN
After the War.-Nobody knows
what the first result of the European
war will be, or what will happen to
the map of Europe when the kings
have played out their cruel game and
peace has been declared and the
spoils of war distributed.
inns, however, we know-that
practically every able-bodied man in
the countries embroiled has a gun in
MS hands. All who are alive when
the lighting is done, and kings are
sitting around the table at the peace
conference making the map over
again, fixing new boundaries and put
ting the European picture-puzzle to-
gether-al of the soldiers who 20
home alive will still have guns in
their hands.
what wonderful change there
would be on the worlds rough face if
all OF them had also reason in their
brains and clear understanding that
ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS, and
that Austrians, Russians, English
men, Frenchmen, Germans, Servians,
Belgians, ALL are brothers, with
equal natural rights to live on this
earth and be happy
If this light could come to them
If they could brush the cobwebs of
ignorance from their brains-if they
could see that God made kings no
different from peasant and never in
tended that one man should rule his
brother by divine right
l imagine there would be united
action by these brothers, and that all
the kings in Europe would quickly be
out of jobs, that the world would be-
come one glorious democracy, free
from all time to come from the hell of
war.

Out of all the mass of campaign material which is

wonder that the often confused and find good

The plain cause of all this confusion is the lack of

dsception has been pracced in politics for long that
dishonesty has be regarded by permissible

Anyone who takes this view forget that popular gov
ernmen does exist for the purpose of permitting
party candidate to rule. Popular government
lists order that the people express their wishes
And in order that they may choOse inteigently the
people are entitled to the truth.
No person can render a patriotic service in a
political campaign than to observe truhfulness all

truth were observed at all times, candidates would
be chosen accordance with the principles which they
largely contest of principles.
And popular government would be infinitely better,
and the will of the would be clearly expressed
if the great element of uncertainty to what candidates
do or do not stand for were eliminated,
The practice of simple honesty by candidates and

Message to the Northwest
(Dr. Cryus Northrop.)

am cid man now, and have seen many things
in the world have this great country that we
speak of the northwest, come, in my lifetime, to be
pcpulous and rich. The forest has fallen before the
farmers the field has bossomed and the cities have risen
to greatness If there is anything that old 80
years of age could say to people among whom he has
spent the happiest days scf his life, it is this:
We live in the most blessed country in the world
The things have accomplished only the beginning
AS the years go and always increase strength
power and wealth, must not depart from the
simple teachings of youth For the moral fundaent-
ais are the same and Interchangeable.
Here in the northwest we shall make race of men
that shall inherit the earth. Here the distant years.
when and others who have labored with me shall long
have been forgotten, there will be power in material
accomplishment, in spiritual attainment, IN wealth,
strength and moral influence the like of which the world
has not yet This firmly believe. And the people
of the northwest moving forward greater things
will accomplish all this they adhere always to the
fundamentals, and not otherwise.

Licensed.

After looking over the assessors
returns and finding 41,3O2 automo-
.F.lcs assessed for taxation in Mime
sofa, Tax Commissioner Samuel Lord
called up the Office of the secretary
of state and asked how many auto
mobile licenses were outstanding on
May 1. The number was given as 81
200.
Here is an apparent loss of 20 per
cent" said Mr.. Lord. "Of course some
cars have been scrapped and some
have been disposed Of outside the
state, but as a rule when a trade is
made the automobile owner retains
the old number for the new car
There should not be any such
shrinkage. We will see what we can
