CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
WILSON'S CALL TO BUSINESS.

Preparedness was the keynote of President Will
son S annual message to the congress, but it was
not merely the preparedness of which we speak so
familiarly these days, meaning thereby merely
military preparedness, but preparedness of the
whole national business organization, prepared
ness now to win trade in the world markets, pre-
paredness which will make for greater efficiency
and adequacy in our own national business affairs
1t was national efficiency, national forwardness,
national commercial preparation for the days OF
reconstruction after the war, upon which Presi-
dent Wilson laid the greatest stress
And this emphasis was further accumulated by
his address to the business men of Ohio at the
state capital, Columbus, day so after his mes
sage had been presented to congress, when he
gave himself over more particularly to delineating
what he considers to be national preparedness in
business way and urged the merchants and man.
ufacturers who heard him to throw aside their
fears and hesitancy, assert their aggressiveness
and independence and 60 after the worlds trade.
There was no willy-nilly, wishy-washy, sweet
coated palavering in the presidents address, he
struck straight from the shoulder and struck
pontedly, told the merchants Of their mistakes of
the past rejoiced over the better methods now
employed in business, and urged them, in very
forcible words, to push this nation forward in q
business way until il occupies the place it should
occupy il the worlds commerce and for which
there = NOW tho greatest opportunity
4. s. ~ M Il thst y the presidents message
y ths business men Of the United States-wake
~ 70 the opportunities here at home, wake up to
re greater opportunities abroad and, above all,
prepare for the great reconstruction period in
Europe when american goods, American manu-
1aetures, American ways Of doing things, will, if
there has been the proper preparedness, command
the commercial world.
And 20 with all this talk Of preparedness, let us
zee i in its broadcast sense the preparedness the
president more particularly emphasized, the pre-
paredness which will lead our national commerce
forward to superior place in international trade

AGAIN THE FIRST TO LEAD A REFORM.

Following the dictates of its 1912 PLATFORM the
Democratic party is calling for primaries for the
election of delegates to its national convention in
st. Louis next June, and Chairman McCombs
directs the party organizations in such states as
do not provide system, to arrange for such pri.
maries. So, for the first time in the nations his
tory, will delegates to national party conven-
ton be chosen directly by the voters-and the
Democratic party, first to insert such plank in
its PLATFORM is likewise the first to direct that the
platform provision be carried out

The antics of the state bureau of inspection and
the state auditor in respect to the footing of the
industrial insurance department. are, to say the
least, quite amusing. Amusing when you remem-
Der that the former bureau started to check up
the department year or so ago, got "stumped"
and gave it up; amusing that now the state
auditor after not questioning for months the war
rants he issued on the order of the department,
proposes to undertake an investigation. Here
are two branches of the state government charged
with inspecting and auditing the industrial in
surance department Neither did, but they are
going to now!

After it ID all said and done, and the "ifs'' and
the ands' and~the butts" have been thrown
away, the decision Of the state supreme court up
holding the dry law and likewise the initiative
and referendum amendment was expected, except
for the fact that it was unanimous decision.
Strangely, the preliminary gossip forecasting the
decision always had it 'swet' yet we venture the
opinion that the 8 drys'' would not have been any
more surprised than the .wets, = if the decision
had been favorable to the latter. They had hopes,
Of course, but nothing more, and when they got
way Of somewhere by themselves, they more than
likely admitted to themselves that they stood no
show.
Already there is speculation as to what will be
done in the election next year. The hotel mems
BILL initiated to the legislature and automatically
referred by the referendum, is already scheduled
to be voted on next November; Seattle and Taco
ma papers carry reports that there will be other
measures, some perhaps seeking the repeal Of only
portion of the present prohibition law, some per-
haps seeking its entire repeal and substituting
new system of regulation, different from the one
hitherto used in this state and different from that
proposed in the hotel mems BILL while various
"dry" leaders assert that any "wet" measure
win be defeated by greater majority than that
with which the present prohibition bill was car
ried.
These, of course, are the merest speculations at
the present time. Washington will be one of the
sdry" states of the nation in not many more days,
and it will remain so, in our opinion, until the sit
uation is changed through the initiative or through
legislative action.

NOT AN ARGUMENT AT ALL.

The poorest, the most baseless argument in
favor Of the water bonds upon which the people
voted in the special election last Tuesday was that
one which urged the authorization of the issue
because the city had already spent ten or fifteen
thousand dollars without obtaining the plant and
would lose that much money if the people did not
authorize the expenditure of hundred and ten
thousand. One might just as well argue that, be-
cause forty or fifty thousand dollars had been
sunk in the Crescent well, hundred or two hun
dred thousand more ought to be spent on it.
The verdict Of the election, however, relegates
that argument to ancient history its astounding
absurdity is the only reason for its regeneration
here For the third time the voters of Olympia
have emphatically said they want the city to own
the waterworks we hope their wishes can now be
carried on without any further vexatious delays.
