Half the world is busy
fighting the other half.
Hatred and malice to-
ward one another is spread
ing through Europe as poi
son spreads through the hui

whitening, destroying.
The United States has
kept out of the trouble so
far. But millions of this
country's inhabitants have

And when one has kinS-
men, even distant kinSmen,
killing or being killed in
the trenches, it is hard to
control the feelings, to be
neutral-to refrain from
singing the hymn of hate
to refrain from feeling Bit

your kinsmen are fighting.
This is the time then to

"A Great Opportunity

TLEAR across the continent, the board
~ OF regents carried their search for a fit
ting head for the University OF Washington.
Today it is announced that the man for the
place is DR.. Henry Suzallo, professor OF phil
osophy OF Columbia university.
1t has been over year since the search
began Several noted educators turned down
the offer of the regents, for one reason or
another
In at least one case, the reason was other
than pecuniary
An impression has got around that the
presidency OF the University OF Washington
was encountered by strings too numerous to
attract big and independent men.
Let us hope this impression Is wrong
In the selection OF DR.. Suzallo, may we ex-
Npect big, broad-minded man. alive to the
progressive, enterprising, forward march OF
this state in thought, industry and the better
medt OF humanity.
The University OF Washington has grown
wonderfully. in spite OF a woeful lack OF real
leadership. and by a wholly too subservient
subordination to the petty politicians in state
legislatures.
II DIR. Suzallo is the big man we hope he
is. he will be big enough to break The shaekles
10 narrow-minded and partisan politics and
narrow its sphere OF real accomplishments
The university should be made wholly indie
pendent of politics, and to Dr. Suzallo we
extend the heartiest welcome, and, open
minded, we wish him that success which will
make the University OF Washington the great,

D ACK EAST. the journalistic political
- sharps figure out that Sen. Poindcxter
returned to the republican party. with some
pleasant little formality, upon the advice OF
Mr. Roosevelt and that Mr.. Roosevelt him
self is ready to make peace with his old POI
litical associates. if the latter will conform
to some OF his views concerning party re-
forms.
1t would startle nobody to see Mr.. Roose-
welt again, OF, by and for the republican
party, even as capdidate for the presidential
nomination of the republican party.
II the party can't be purified from without
why shouldn't it be purified from Within
Less than three years ago. some four mil
lions OF republicans indicated that the re-
publican party should be purified.
The election OF Wilson and the come back
OF men like Pcnrose and Cannon not being
indicative OF publication OF the republican
party the natural, proper and logical thing
seems TO be to get right in and clean up
from the inside.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

NEW ORLEANS. June 27.-The trad
ing of the week was against values in
the cotton market Selling was stimu-
lated by favorable crop and weather
accounts and by expectations Of bearish
bureau reports this coming week, while
the first July notices caused much
liquidation OF long cotton. The close
was net loss of 81 to % points
Easier spot markets and increased Of
ferings helped to work against the
price of futures. and the bearish belief
was that pressure to sell spot cotton
in the interior was induced by first
hand knowledge of favorable crop
development.
Steadying influences were constant
covering Of short cotton and the heavy
spot sales In Liverpool, the large mill
takings and the comparatively large
decrease in the visible supply. This
week the trade will be mainly occu-
pied with the government reports
Thursday on condition and acreage.
Sentiment seems more bcarish than
bullish In regard to the coming reports.
The majority of traders look for condi-
ton figures at least as high as last
