Such arr the conditions under which statesmen
do Jtr,r work today that they swiftly pay the
penalty Of their mistakes and crimes and with
equal celebrity io they reap their rewards of afct-
ton ami trust when standing for the right. Pres
idrut Wilson has had the felicity during the last
few days to find loyal not only his former friends
hut also man, ot>hi, harshcSt critics. The changc
has been with them, and not with him. He las
been consistent with his past.
50 it comes about that the people of the United
States. and We believe are also justified in say
ing the great mass Of the people in the belligeront
and neutral countries. are inspired with SINGER
admiration FOR the judicial and scf-rcsrained atti-
tude which has been maintained Ivy the president
during the period of the present There is
necessity to strengthen such statement with in
sipid compliments, which no would value less
than Mr. Wilson himself. The statement remains

I'VE believe Mr. Wilson to be a statesman -
says the Christian Science Monitor, as nearly non
partisan newspaper there is in the United
States. 1--WE believe him to have been actuated in
his policy by persistent effort to obey the die
tates of principle He cannot, however, accom-
plish all he desires if he does receive the loyal
support of the country. On the other hand if he
does receive this support, it may be said of him

A BANK THAT NEEDED DISCIPLINE.

You have heard lot about the Riggs bank
case, from a certain class of newspapers which
tried to portray the Wilson administration in the
persons of McAdoo and Williams, as prosecuting
the Riggs bank at the national capital-one of the
most powerful in the United States-for personal
and not legitimate reasons newspapers which have
tried to give to this affair the same unfortunate
effect on the Wilson administration that the Bal
linger racket had on Taft but newspapers that
have been particularly silent since the United
States court in the District of Columbia ruled that
neither McAdoo nor Williams had exhibited any
personal malice toward the institution and that
that of the bank 8 allegations be stricken out
Many national banker has gone to prison for
violations Of the banking law no more serious than
those alleged by the government in defending the
suit brought against its representatives by the
Riggs bank What Secretary McAdoo and Comp
troller Williams have sought in the case of this in
stitution is to establish lawful and responsible
banking. What the officers Of the Riggs bank,
seemingly supported by the powerful National
City bank of New York, have attempted to do is
to make the issue personal and political.
1t would be well for all to remember that nno-
cent banks do not get vice presidents from the fed
eral treasury Immediately upon the receipt of
public moneys; lawfully managed banks do not
deadhead the comptroller of the currency when he
appears as borrower and banks that pretend
to observe the law do not loan one-quarter of their
capital and surplus to their own officers. This
the Riggs bank did, the government alleges, and.
having won the first bout, it seems to have made
considerable progress in the way of proving it's
charges.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
CITY OFFICIAL. PAPER
THE LOCAL LIGHT SITUATION.

With all the rag chewing that is going on
extent in the newspapers and to great extent in
street talk. citizens of Olympia are looking for
ward hopefully to an early solution which will
permit of street lights once more at night. We
have become more or less accustomed to 'gOing
home in the dark it's true but do not like it
and want no more of it than we have to have, and
this fact that We are all hoping for speedy re-
sumption of the street lights may be responsible
for the apparently settled conviction most persons
have that there are to be lights again soon.
The controversy started with the mayor by the
local company does not appear to have accom-
plished any more than such controversies usually
do and the company is just as far, if not little
farther, from obtaining contract with the city as
it has been right along Its first communication,
generating itself from any desire to charge exor
bitant rates. seemed quite fair from it's standpoint
did the mayors reply, explaining the city's
financial condition 1t appears to us, however, that
having thus stated its case the company might
better have presented formal and official commu-
nication TO the city council, stating exactly the
kind of contract it would offer the city and the
Substantial reduction" in the rates it would &C.
cept, than to have INDUCED in sarcasm and criti-
cism of those with whom it must deal to obtain
this business as it did,
Confidence that there is to be competing COM
pany in Olympia, a company which will not only
supply the city with street lights but engage in
the general commercial sale of electric light and
power, seems particularly strong among the sup
porters Of the present city administration. The
situation is expected to come to a head when the
city council July opens bids for furnishing light
and power to the city, when offers from at least
one and perhaps two or three other competing
firms are expected. The net result confidently
awaited therefore, is that the city will be able to
light its streets at great reduction in cost, and
perhaps also obtain cheaper commercial rates for
the general consumer
This, at least, is the aim of the present city
administration and, whether you like it or not,
you must admit that that administration has a
faculty Of accomplishing what it sets out to do

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
IN THIS PAPER Fifty YEARS AGO

From The Washington Standard for
June 8, 1865. Vol. v. No. 80.
The most remarkable topic of the
day is the rapidity with which the
7-3O loan is being absorbed, and it
affords a pleasing evidence of the
confidence of the people in the stabil-
ity of the government. Jay Cooke is
the government agent for the loan.
The entertainment given by the
ladies in aid of the Cascade road fund,
at the Olympic last evening, was
distinct success.
The Indians destroyed st. Mary's
telegraph station and tore down sew
eral miles of wire, on the goth inst.
We learn from the operator at this
place that communication with the
East has not yet been resumed.
Monday next is the day Of election.
For the last time we call upon the
true friends of the Union, and espe-
cially those Of Thurston county-as
this issue will scarcely reach beyond
it's boundaries-to be at the polls,
armed and equipped as the law directs
with your poll-tax receipts or. If with
out them, with the money to pay the
offlcer who will be deputized to re-
ceive them.

We residents of the West coast have not been
so directly interested in the millions of dollars
worth of war orders placed in the East and Middle
in business conditions we all ardently DESIRE be-
cause practically none of those orders have come
our way but when it develops that in filling those
orders some United States manufacturers so far
forget the ultimate value of now establishing
high commercial reputation, in this time when we
have everything their own way, as to cheat those
who buy from them we do become interested as
members of that entire group of citizenship that
desires the words 'Made in the U. s. A." to stand
for the best there is
It is not pleasant to read reports from Paris
with reference to the alleged delinquency of Amer
lean supply contractors Even the big houses on
the American side, it is said, with one notable ex-
ception, have not been furnishing the goods con-
tracted for according to sample Two cases are
referred to that furnish parallels for those in
stances of commercial dishonesty so recently ex-
posed and so righteously condemned in Canada.
To impose shoddy upon the nations involved in
war when they are paying for god material and
good workmanship is inexcusable it is doubly rep
rehensible when this shoddy takes the form of
footwear for soldiers in the field already under
going untold hardship.
Public opinion in the United States will doubt
less be prompt to repudiate business methods not
only SO regardless Of the common decencies and
humanities but also certain to bring into disrepute
the whole commercial industry of the nation and
so battle our efforts to establish and expand our
foreign trade.

PRESIDENTS CRITICS CHANGE.

1t is most interesting and gratifying to note, in
these days of serious international problems in
which the United States finds itself that the bit
crest and most cOntemptuous journalistic critic of
President Wilson since he was elected-The New
York Sun-now says that in days of grave
national perplexity" he is regarded with respect
and trusted with sober confidence most rarely
given to president, and the giving of which is
higher honor than the presidency" Whereas for
merly it used to ridicule him either as doctri-
naire schOolmaster or as pusillanimous idealist,
the journal now rej0ices in his moderation, tran
quill courage wisdom intellectual power and steady
will. This radical reversal of opinion and open
confession of the same recalls the change of opin-
ion of Punch toward Abraham Lincoln; and is to
pelling motive, for of course it makes impossible
in the future any repetition Of such jibes and
thrusts as have been INDUCED in by the Sun.
The logic of history is that national leader
who can meet great issue in great way must be
conceded to have oftener than not shown similar
yesterday and the day before is not suddenly
transformed into dignity, virility and power on
the morrow. Consequently, in the light of his
present admitted conformity to all the severest
tests of statecraft all critics of the president espe-
cially those who have belitted his moral courage,
ridiculed his patience and compared him with
Pontius PLATE and similar unpopular characters in
history, must in justice to themselves as well as to
him, now enter on the task of reappraisal

Bad Odor, Don't

THAT certain strong smells kill dis

certain strong smells produce typhoid
tOr smallpox" says Dr. H. w. Hill Of

stables to drive away glanders. The
.strong smell OF the goat, it is believed

SYSTEMS OF ROTATION FOR SANDY SOILS

corn. either for silase or green manur-
ing purposes.
In a four-year systsm Of rotation
a gran crop may be introduced by
planting the field to corn during the
first year: rye may be seeded In be-
tween the corn rows at the time Of
the last cultivation This will be the
main crop during the following sea-
son. After the rye is harvested, soy
beans should be planted on the same
field and plowed under In the fall as
a green manuring crop. The third
and fourth years the field would be in
clover. being seeded without nurse
crop. If pasture Is needed the field
may remain In clover another year.
In Ave or six year rotation alfalfa
may be introduced by planting a Gull
tivated crop the first year; grain the
second alfalfa without nurse-crop
the third and allowing the alfalfa to
remain as long as good yields can be
secured.
In all these systems. which are sub
ject to change to suit local conditions.
the farmer should make 1t a rule to
keep the ground covered during the
winter. Consequently such crops as
rye and clover should be seeded as
much as possible. It will undoubtedly
be necessary to use more than one
rotation on each farm in order to
obtain the best results in arranging
individual fields. Manure on CONNER
cial fertilizers when applied In any
rotation are utilized to best advantage
when added to the legume crop.
