IS PEACE OPENING AHEAD?

The conciliatory attitudes adopted during the
last few days by both Germany and Great Britain
in the diplomatic controversies in which the
United States has been engaged with them during
recent months has suggested in some quarters the
hope that the way to peace was slowly being
opened. Perhaps the wish is father to the
thought; perhaps, though, from the forward steps
the United States has already succeeded in per-
suading these nations to take will come it's oppor-
tunity to lead the way to peace and quiet in war
maddened Europe.
Personally we are more than glad to see that
those influential German officials who seek to keep
the friendship Of the United States have won
their point in mapping out Germany's future
policy toward this nation during the rest of the
war. Matters were reaching too closely to the
breaking point when this change in front was an
nounced. Misconceived ideas Of the views of the
American people doubtless had much to do with
Germany's former apparent disregard of those
rights for which this nation contended, rights that
humanity demands and supports. Now that off
cial Germany apparently has been set Alright we
hope and trust that the relations between the two
countries, too often at critical point will con-
tinue to grow more cordial.
Unfortunately, we fear, hopeof peace in Europe
is far-fetched hope which, though treasured, is
remote of fulfllment. Over there is being waged
fight to the finish, fight that had been threat
enng for years and one that it may take years
to end

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
ARMAMENT NOT A DAYS AFFAIR.

Whether or not the United States is to develop
a great armament on sea and land would seem to
be question capable of being determined with
all the care that would bring the answer to any
other proposal of "A radical change of policy and

alertness that the stoutest advocate of IA great
venture might reasonably ask.

tary Of War Lindey NJ. Garrison is committed by
word and deed to the measuring Of the problem

to be the mark of the armamentsts and he has
tackled the problem fundamentally and already
made public features of his plans. Secre-
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels is the object of
acclaims of approval for having set about gather

ton and the other means he has used to arrive at
the best solution of the question from the stand
point of the navy These are the two departments
in which must be prepared the proposals to
gress, which is the one constitutional tribunal for
the settlement of the matter
Why, then, the Impotence that the advocates
of big armament seem upable to restrain in their

concern? And is congress, whose session is
at hand, too numbering body to settle the issue?
If these provisions of a republican government
are ample for dealing with the problem, is there
need or occasion for stampeding either the admin

With no enemy at the gates, with none that

is it would seem, opportunity for deliberation by
the American people on the question of whether

forth, and the same examination made Of it that

affects the people, at least within the bounds of

can see no ground for apprehension that there
will be failure to meet the issue. If it is senti-

doubtful claim to superiority in sentiment that

DO TRIPLES ANNOY YOU?

What blessed thing it is that we can forget!
Today's troubles look large, but a week hence
they will be forgotten and buried out of sight.
One writer had this in mind when he said:
If you would keep book and daily put down
the things that worry you and see what becomes
of them, it would benefit you. You allow thing
to annoy you. just you allow a fly to settle
you and plague you, and you lose your temper and
you justify yourself by being thrown off your
balance by which you do not trace out.
But if you could see what it was that threw You
off your balance before breakfast and put it
down in little book, and follow it up and follow
it out, and ascertain what becomes of it. you
would see what a fool you were.'
The art of forgetting is a blessed art, but the
art of overlooking is quite as important. And if
We should take time to write down the origin
progress and outcome of few of our troubles it
would make ashamed of the fuss we make
over them that we should be glad to drop such
things and bury Them at once in eternal forget,
fitness.
Life is too short to be out in petty wor
ries, frettings, hatreds and vexatons Forget

1t is estimated that not less than
10000 bales of hops will be gathered
this year from the fields lying be-
tween Tacoma and the Snoqualmie.
The state convention of Democratic
clubs, held at Tacoma on the 9th
ult., was attended by representative
men from all parts of the state and
great enthusiasm prevailed. Henry
Drum was elected president; c. H.
Warner vice president, George Hazz-

The Masons contemplate the cree
ton of a $4,000 building on their lot
opposite The Olympia, next season. 1t
probably will be built of stone.
A project is on foot for securing a
large painting of Olympia for exhibi-
ton at the Spokane Falls fair in Oc-
tober. 1t is proposed to make the
picture about 25 by 80 feet in size, so
as to utilize it for an extra drop cur

served the purpose of showing our
Eastern friends what a desirable place
Olympia is for the state capital.
The Port Townsen Southern pro-
poses to make the transfer from mar
row to broad guage on the Olympia
Tenino road next Sunday. They pro-
pose to put on enough men to accom-
plish the job in one day. This speedy
movement will be in marked contrast
with the building of the road few
years ago, when it's progress largely
depended upon the frequency of pic
mic parties. For the benefit of new
corners we state that almost the whole
road-bed was prepared for the ties by
the individual labor of our citizens.
