State Powder Factory

A common sense statement of the
conditions surrounding the possible
establishment of the proposed state
powder factory has been made by Gov
ernor Lister who has recently re.
ceived copies of resolutions passed
by several oranges urging immediate
action toward using the provisional
appropriation of $4,000 made by the
last legislature.
The governor states that after hav-
ing looked into the question of the
practicability of the powder factory
himself he appointed commission to
make a further thorough investiga-
ton. He asks persons believing a
state powder factory should be estab-
lished to communicate to State Sena.
tor Ralph Metcalf, of Tacoma, and
closes with the statement:
IF the results of the investigation
show that the state can establish
powder factory, and by so doing ma
terially reduce the cost of stumping
powder, to those who desire to use it
in clearing the logged-off lands of the
state, there is no question but that
it would be of material assistance in
the proper development of the state
and ought to be done. If, on the 9th
err hand, the investigation indicates
that the state could not furnish stump.
ing powder at a material reduction
from present prices. and the construc.
ton and operation of such a plant
would be of no practical benefit in
clearing the lands, we will all agree
it would indeed be unwise to expend
the $4,000 appropriated"

Justice and the Laws Delays

The granting of new trial to Pc.
lice Lieutenant Becker of New York,
sentenced to death for participation
in the death of Herman Rosenthal,
may be fully justified by the law and
the facts, but it is travesty on justice
that should have required one year
and four months for the courts to
pass upon the case.
The long delay of the courts has
acted as preventive of justice. Lawyers
who make a specially of defending
men charged. with crime count delay
as their most valuable ally. Witnesses
disappear, sentiment dies down and
every retriar lessons the probability
of conviction.
1t is folly to denounce the court, and
worse than folly. to reason that the re-
call of decisions is the remedy. To
condemn man to death by popular
vote would be lynch law. There is
only one cure, only one defense
against those who demand that the
whole temple of justice be destroyed
and that is a revision of the law. II

In Case Of Intervention

There is growing sentiment among
the public men and the leading news
papers in favor of Intervention i'll
Mexico in case Intervention be-
comes necessary. by a concert OF
powers, including either the United
States and the Latin-American nations
of the United States or the United
States and the larger European
powers.
Some strong arguments are offered
in favor of the plan. The European
powers have larger land and financial
interests in Mexico than the United
States has and much larger than the
Latin-American nations. At the same
time joint Intervention by the United
States and Brazil, the Argentine and
Chilli, now favored by the New York
Sun, has certain great advantages. I.
might succeed in cementing these re-
publics together in a community of
interests and thus give to the Mon
roe doctrine the new trend Endorsed
by Colonel Roosevelt and emphasized
in his South American speeches.
On the other hand the United
States has never before asked other
nations to aid us in solving our prob.
lens. The Monroe doctrine imposes
obligations which in their nature sug-
gest Independent and exclusive action
by the United States and there is no
indication that the American govern
ment contemplates asking for outside
cooperation in the task of quieting
Mexico if the worst comes. President
Wilson, while insisting that he will
not be stampeded by radical speeches
in Congress or by press opinion at
home or abroad, has let it be known
that the administration is prepared to
take effective action if Intervention IS
deemed unavoidable.

The Regional Reserve Banks

No date has been fixed by the organ
ization committee at Washington for
the announcement Of the cities that
serve banks, provided for in the new
currency law, and it is not expected
that any announcement will be made
for some weeks. Reports purporting
10 give the names of the cities select

may be set down as pure guess work.
Some inquiries have been made as
TO whether the new banks would be
established in time to care for the
crop movement this year. Secretary
McAdoO has answered this question,
saying the time of completing the or
ganization is uncertain 1t is unlike
sy that it will be in season for the
crop movement, in which event the
resources of the Federal treasury
again will be placed at the disposal
Of the banks "for the protection of all
legitimate interests of the country
Moreover the operation of the Aldrich-
Vreelands act has been extended until
June 30, 1915, and 1.-THE tax upon cir
culation taken out under that measure
has been reduced to point where
bankers may resort to it with advan-
tage in case necessity should arise"
1t is encouraging to note that COM
merce and industry are not awaiting
the actual establishment of new fea-
lures of the currency act. Business
is improving rapidly and the mere
fact that provision has been made
for the issue of emergency currency
when it may be required has supplied
the element of confidence needed to
encourage trade and industry. Sec
rotary McAdoo and Secretary Hous-
ton, after their tour of the country.
have expressed themselves as highly
pleased with conditions. Secretary

York Journal of Commerce. said:

ments planned by the county commits
gioners for this year, yet the city au-
ahorities, through sheer neglect, are
delaying the work.
The county commissioners stand
ready to expend $4,000 or more for
the improvement of this road. most
of which is state road money, to use
highway department must be adhered
TO. The present road leading out of
Aberdeen, and in the city limits,
climbs up hill, on IA per cent grade
and climbs down again making almost
right angle turn to do so. The state
regulations will not permit such a
grade, and in order to secure that
state money for this road, the city
council was requested early last fail
to change the route of B street
The engineer found that the road
could be Strengthened to advantage
and 2h per cent grade established,
yet no action has been taken.
Commissioner Locke has taken the
matter up with the members of the
council personally and has appeared
at the meetings, stating that the coun-
ty desired to begin this road as early
as possible in the spring, so as to
complete it before the fall rains. Bids
have been received for the work, but
OF course, no contract will be let un-
til the city provides the proper road
within its limits.
Negotiations have been had with
the owners of the lands required for
the change, but no agreement was
reached. and two weeks ago the at
torney was ordered to begin action
to condemn the land. The city at
torney, with his position Of deputy
county attorney and an extensive pri
vate practice, has not seemingly found
time, and Wednesday night was grant
ed another week in which to make
further efforts with the owners.
It is nearly a year since this road
work was proposed, it's Importance
Is conceded. yet the negligence of
the city authorities gives fair prom.
Use of preventing it entirely The
$4,000 of state money allotted to this
road will be spent this year, and, if
unable to use it on the Wishkah road
the city authorities, not the county
commissioners will be to blame if it
is diverted elsewhere.

Time For Church to
Check New Dances
Ely the Rev. DR.. CHARLES A. EATON
Pastor o. Madison Avenue Baptist
Church, New York City

THE new style of dance is a
craze, a form of nervous de-
gcneracv. 1t has been stimu-
lated, first, by UNWHOLESOME
SOCIAL CONDITIONS, and, sec
ond, by CONIMERCIALISM. Peo-
pie of all walks of life seem to have
abandoned their common sense,
their sense of self possession and in
many cases their morals. Instead
of using the dance as a modest and
beautiful means of recreation it has
degcnerated into sort of civilized
"snake dance"
DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PAR
ENTs OF OUR COUNTRY ARE
THINKING ABOUT. THEY THROW
THEIR CHILDREN TO THE cRoco.
OlLEs AS THE INDIAN MOTHERS
USED TO DO, BUT THE FORMER
ANY RELIGIOUS MO-
TIVE. THEY ARE CONSUMED By
AN ITCH FOR SOCIAL ADVANCE
AND THEY THINK THE ONLY
WAY TO GET INTO SOCIETY is
TO DANCE IN. THE PRESENT
CONDITION Is A RESULT OF A
SPIRITUAL DEGENERAcY. IT IN
TURN is THE CAUSE OF WORSE
IT Is TIME FOR
THE CHURCH., THE HOME AND
THE PRESS TO USE EVERY
LEGITIMATE MEANS AGAINST
THESE DEGRADING CONDITIONS.
THEY ARE NOTHING MORE OR
LESS THAN sENsUALirY SET TO

of addressing you regarding my CAN
didacy
For the past year | have served
as deputy treasurer under City Treas
urer r. c. Sargent. My experience
as an accountant has covered per-
iod of over ten years, which included
keeping books for large companies as
well as books in my own business
This experience has been OF great
value to me in my capacity as deputy
city treasurer.
Mr.. Sargent has seen fit to endorse
my candidacy in the following words.
given in published interview:
81 want the office to go to a man
who knows how to take care of it.
Mr. Blyth is qualified in every way
and should like to see him elected
He has been in the office for nearly
year and knows the work thorough

Mr.. Sargent has acted as city treas
urer nine years and during that time

that leaves no doubt as to the future"
All indications are that the new sys-
TEN will be inaugurated without any
disturbance of business and will oper-
ate smoothly and satisfactorily. 1t is
proof of the fundamentally sound con-
ditions of the country when it's entire
currency system can be changed with

LEGUMEs FOR THE ORCHARD.

In the valley in which the writer's
ranch is located. owing to the dry sum.
mers during which period the clean till
age system is followed. it is desirable
to sow leguminous cover crop in the
fall about the time the rainy season
sets in. This not only serves as soil
renovator. but when plowed under in
the spring adds to the soil humus. an
element in which all too many western
orchard soils are lacking. Besides this.
