WAKE UP!

Those two words epltomze one Of the most re-
zmarkable statements we have recently seen con-
corning present conditions statement by the
way from a most remarkable man, Thomas A.
Edison With swinging sweep Of the arm he
dispOses of the business lethargy of the present
tmes-''I've no patience with the thing that tries
to set us back. 1t puzzles me just little this
lazy tomorrow attitude l find reflected about
me- | don understand it in fact l don't want
to understand it, now | think of it. The less
understand it the better off I'll be- and that
applies to the rest of u.s. too all except those
ifesting the sloth. They want to wake up-they
positively need to wake up, and when we've all
walked up to the point where we're going about
our business with more energy than we displayed
before we slowed up, things here will right them
selves with rush.
GAS nation we re laying down on our job
he plunged on earnestly. 81 dom see what got
into us. This European condition is situation
that cannot change; it faces u.s. it is present
with us; but many of us just jump up and down
and cry out--we don't act There's altogether
too much 'manana about the way we re going on.
IF we re going to look out for ourselves, why
let us look out for ourselves If ever there was a
time when we should be up and doing, this is it..
We need every ounce Of activity we can put into
our business as a nation. We all have to buckle
= down to work and work harder than we ever did
We're sufficient unto ourselves-for a time, at
least-and we've got to make the most of our
opportunities.
We've got everything in this country that we
need to get along nicely with-the men, the mate
rials and the opportunities we surely must
operate all these things to then greatest advan-
.tage. We must get over the period Of sloth that
possesses us-it is not in line with the spirit Of
our national character. We are essentially an
a energetic people and we must be using that
energy to the FULL otherwise we drop back in the
race for efficient utilization of ourselves our tai
~ents and our resources"
There you are-wake up!

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO

From The Washington Standard for
January %, 1865. Vol. v. No. IL.
To the great satisfaction of the
public, as we'll, we presume, as Of
most of the members themselves, the
legislature closed it's labors on Mon
day last after session of so days.
We speak with reference to it's works
when we say no legislature since we
have been a territory has accom-
plished so little for the general good
as the one just closed.
It is now positively known that
Governor Pickering is en- route to
Washington.
A memorial, introduced by Mr..
Watson Of King county, praying the
establishment of the new postal
money order at the Olympia post
office, passed the last legislature.
We have received letter from a
resident of San Juan in which severe
charges of misconduct are made
against the American commandant of
the military post on that island.
