THE PRESIDENT AND PEACE.

"You need not plead with me- | am
anxious, most anxious to do all that | can
for peace. l shall earnestly endeavor to
unite official and unofficial opinion to that
end"
These are the words of President Wilson in
respect to the situation in Europe, according to
Mrs Phillip Snowden wife of member of the
British parliament, who with Nine. Rosika
Schwimmer of Hungary recently interviewed the
president to gain his support to the proposed con-
ference of neutrals to initiate peace. They are
the words of man who would stop, if he could,
and is ever ready to seize an opportunity, the
fearful carnage of the great war. And he will do
it, at the first chance.

Whatever criticism there may be of the members
Of the industrial insurance commission and their
methods Of handling that department that is JUS
tilted, and no matter how carefully they sought
to carry out their work or how well-meaning was
their administration, they will be criticized just
the same for what has taken place in their depart
ment whether there is any justification for it or
not, we submit the fact that Governor Lister has
personally taken charge of the situation cancelled
all engagements and intends to remain in charge
Of the investigation until the guilt is traced def

this fact more than justies the assertion that the

Lister would be the first man to kick out a

with one of his departments; he will be the last
man to stop searching for the industrial insurance

WILL THERE BE POLITICAL EFFECT?

The placing Of the affairs Of the local water
works company in the hands of receiver at this
particular time may have political effect and again
it may not. Olympians are to vote December IA
as to whether they favor bond issue of $4,000
to take over that property; twice before, when
10000 bond issue was proposed, they approved
it by big majorities.
The argument will be advanced, Of course, that
if private capital has not been able to handle the
local waterworks property in such way as to
make money out Of it, the municipality should not
attempt it. But this will be combatted by the
argument that private capital wantonly and lib
orally 'watered" the waterworks stocks and obli-
cations to such figure that any attempt to pay
out was doomed And so the issue will be batted
back and FORTH and the voter left to decide which
he shall choose
The fact that receiver should be appointed
just at this juncture, however, is somewhat
peculiar, nevertheless

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
FOR THURsToN coUNTY's GOOD.

Three movements under way III this county
at the present time which not only mean much for
it in an agricultural way if their possibilities are
even only partially applied but which strikingly
demonstrate that have among quite large
number of farmers who propose to throw off the
old order of things to to it that they have the
benefit of all the advanced ideas of the times
corning their business, and to unite in promoting
their own business welfare, through better stan
dards and better and more uniform products.
We REFER of course, to the campaign to raise
money among the business men of the city and the
farmers of the county with which to retain O. c.
instituted and carried forward by the farmers; to
the organization of dairymen's association, in
which the farmers again have taken the lead, and
the proposal that potato club or association be
formed, to grow and market certain quality of
potatoes under special trade name, which,
wherever heard, would indicate the best. All
three movements, as is obvious to everyone, will
push this county forward in it's reputation and
standing as progressive agricultural district the
first in general way Is applied to all forms of
farming practiced in the county; the second as
applied to the particular phase Of farming for
which many believe this district is best adapted,
dairying; and the third, to lift above the common
lsvel Of al the farming districts the spudgrowing
feature Of our agriculture which will popularize
~ particular brand and therefore give it = mar
IA Nhile others' products 50 a-begging
AppaFently tho indignation meetings, the dis
cushions and the " chewing matches" Of the last
~ months over the county expert situation,
whether for Or against that particular proposition
have served 70 awaken the progressive farmers Of
10 county 70 the things they win be able to do il
they ct together to do them, possibilities with
which they have been familiar all along but which,
tor some reason or other, they had hitherto lacked
tho required incentive TO attempt. The county
expert situation in other words, has brought them
together not only to work unitedly in respect to
II but to carry out these other possibilities.
Let spirit like that prevail among our farm
erS, let us get together and study and plan and
work to solve our mutual problems, let us give
best efforts to working out cur own salvation
unitedly, and Thurston county will be in the van
Of the agricultural procession, will be much in
evidence as the Puyallup valley or the Mt Vernon
Or Skagit valley districts
/ All we need to do is to convince ourselves that
We can, and we win.

BOXING WITH FEET POPULAR
Attempts to Introduce French style
Of Exercise Into This Country
Never Was Successful.

The form of boxing known as ia
savate," in which the feet are used
as we'll as the fists, and kicks are
as legitimate as blows, has for a long
time been a popular exercise In
French gymnasiums and schools Of
arms. In this country 1t Is practically
unknown. although attempt has been
made at various times to introduce II
here.
The first principle is that tho
whole weight of the body shall be
placed Oh one leg, and that the far

used as an adjunct to the fists, and
flies out with astonishing swiftness
and accuracy of aim.
The coup de savate" proper is the
"chasse" of the right foot, or shin

is easily avoided by raising the left
knee to the level Of the waist. For

RACING THRIvEs IN FRANCE
Horrors Of War Not Allowed to Inter.
fere With Holiday Sports
Many Race Meetings.

That the people of France are not
allowing the horrors of war to inter.
fere with few holiday pursuits, is
apparent from the stories told by
homecoming Americans.
Thomas Welsh. the well.known
trainer of thoroughbreds. who Is at
Saratoga, N. Y. after several years In
the French republic. where he trained
the horses OF Joseph e. Widener Of
Philadelphia, tells remarkable story
about sport during these stirring
times. He states that on July IA and
the Sundays following there were 240
race meetings IN France.
This Is surely remarkable when II
Is taken into consideration that It is
possible for the people over there to
show interest IN so many affairs and
have enough horses to enter them In
240 race meetings, when the country
Is being secured for animals for use
at the front.
In England, too, there has been lit.
tie diminution of public interest In
sporting events. At mammoth
sports carnival in September, $4,000
people attended despite the fact that
It rained before and while the program
was being run off.
