was said that the California bubble

ROOsevelt-A Winsome Fraud.
(Sedrowoolley CourierD

Teddy advises the Progressives to
hold together. What for? Until he
makes another contract with the
Democratic chiefs to elect for them
another president next year? Or
until he can make a dcker with the
Republicans to be their leader next
year? He should have added to his
advice to hold together the words,
until I can make arrangements to
minister to my own desires, for then
shall need all the dupes that l can
gather under my standards" He de-
clares that he is a most peaceable and
domestic man but in the event of a
war he and his four sons would en-
list. We believe that, for we believe
that he and his sons possess physical
courage. But they would all have
to go as officers. In that respect he
is not bit above the mongrel chiefs,
that have been raising hades in Mex
leo for three years past. Teddy is
rather a winsome fraud.

With very few exceptions, the
country has settled down to the con-
viction that the time is opportune for
taking adequate measures for the
national defense. Every day seems
to demonstrate more clearly than
ever before the absolute Imperative
ness of such a course if we are to
preserve our entity and protect our
rights. The fate of Belgium and
China is forcing upon us the convic-
ton that condition of national help
lessness is no protection against for
eign aggression, and the temper Of
the people is such that congress will
now undoubtedly feel warranted in
taking prompt measures for greater
security.

Our Own Little Town.


If you meet a man who is down in
the mouth, who thinks that his town
is all wrong; just take him aside, or
give him ride, and tell him this
quaint little song: There are fam
cier towns than our little town, there
are towns that are bigger than this !;
and the people who live in the timer
towns all the city excitement will
miss. There are things you can see
in the Weather towns that you can't
in the town that is small; and yet up
and down there is no other town like
our own little town after all. 1t may
be the street through the heart of
our town isn't long, isn't wide, isn't
straight; but the neighbors you
know in our own little town with a
welcome your coming will wait. In
the glttering street of the glittering
town, with its palace and pavement
and hall; in the midst of the throng
you will frequently long for our own
little town after all. If you live and
work and trade in our town in spite
of the fact that it's small, you'll find
that the town-our own little town
is the best kind of town after all.

Pan.American Influence.

New Haven Journal-COurier.)
The state department OF the United
States government has taken an i'm
portant step in the right direction by
inviting the representatives of the
Central and South American govern
ments to meet with officials of this
government to consider ways and
means of bringing peace to stricken
Mexico. The country will
watch with great interest the out
come of this conference, for in one
aspect of the case it is the most i'm
portant of all. If common agree
ment is reached by the conferees,
and common program adopted, a
long step will be taken in the life Of
Mexico and the life of the North
American, Central American and
South American republics.

be mighty poor policy to lose this and

Every state emp1oye must first go
to Tacoma or to Seattle to get start

the same way after every trip to
Olympia, an entirely useless 33 or
71-mile trip, whether you go to Ia
coma or Seattle. The town is away
from the main line of travel and has
very poor travel accommodations.
For the past six months the citizens

smacks of standpat Republicanism

Without question the ideal place
for the state capital would be some
point between Seattle and Tacoma
This would make the two largest
western cities easy of access by street
car and would save the state much
money in travelling expenses of its
officials alone.

Three Democrats to Win.

douglas GO. freSS.)
The prospects for Democrats to
win a sweeping victory nationally
grows brighter each day. 1t will take
a miracle and only a miracle can do
it, to keep Woodrow Wilson from
being nominated in 1915, followed
by a triumphant election. Indeed it
would be a calamity not to do so and
the people generally are looking at it
in that way and the fault finders get
but little consolation when they begin
opposing him. The people have
grasped the manner of man Woodrow
Wilson is by now and demand that he
shall stay where he is until he has
carried out the policies he inaugu-
rated by having them firmly estab-
lished as the law of the land. The
wisdom of Wilson is seen in his start
ing at the beginning of his admins
tration to put in practice the Demo-
cratic plan of constructive legislation
to counteract the destructive legisla-
ton made by the fossilized Republic
an party of vanity and inactivity. 1t
showed that Woodrow Wilson had
the courage of his convictions and
was able to interpret Alright the
democracy of the people who de-
manded a forward movement and not
a backward one.
To help in this work of construc-
tive craftsmanship Washington state
should take a part. To do that 1t
should send a man to the senate from
this state who is strong in construc-
tive legislation. A man who is a
doer and not fossil Of bygone age.
Such a man is needed from this state
to assist at Washington in pushing
forward the grand work of the DEM
ocratic party so ably promulgated by
Woodrow Wilson. IT would be of
great assistance to the nation and Of
untold benefit to the state Of Wash
ington to have a senator at Wash
ington to keep forward step with
Woodrow Wilson. And Washington
has that man in his fullness in
Stephen J. Chadwick He is thor
oughly capable and of the mental
calibre to make fitting senator and
represent the state of Washington
with a Woodrow Wilson administra-
ton.
Then to complete the chain our
state government wants to be kept i'll
line with this forward, face front
movement. Governor Lister has
headed it forward and by his good
business sense and practical ideas
has lifted the state out Of the slough
of spols politics which its former
leaders had got it into. He is clean.
practical and aggressive in we'll
doing. He is business and looks for
ward in every move. He stands
against going in debt on road build
ing and pay-as-you-go is good sound
sense and the best Of business.

climber Land Farmers"

Some of the lands in the govern
ment forests have as much as $4,000
worth of timber on a single quarter
section. and the pressure on Wash
ington to have these lands reclaimed
for settlement" is as strong as in
the Olden days when the opening of
a large tract of public land was
usually followed by a new crop of
process of putting their "stool pig
cons" on the land. However, the old
game does not work as easily as for
merly, since Uncle Sam is becoming
more particular about his settlers.
Some 100000 acres of government
lands have been opened to settlement
within the past decade, but Secretary
Lane, who knows a pine tree from a
corn stalk and can tell whether the
land is more desirable for tree farm
ing than agricultural purposes, has
withdrawn 100000 acres of land
and will likely subject another couple
of million acres to the same treat
ment. OF course, the timber land
specialists will be disappointed.
"National Preparedness"
The campaign for national pre-
paredness" is being carried on at
Washington with all the enthusiasm
attendant upon revival meetings. The
Hudson Maxim set of motion pic
lures. arranged by the Vitagraph
company, were exhibited at the Army
and Navy National Press Clubs, be-
fore going into the regular picture
house. Some of the enterprising
newspaper men of the capital have
arranged a league to exploit national
preparedness" and nearly all the
pencil MASTERS are specializing on the
subject. If writer's and words can
protect the country against invasion,
the Washington correspondents will
make America bomb proof.
The Puzzling Carranza.
In view of the fact that the Car
rama government has maintained
sort of lobby in Washington. the at
titude of the "first chief" in Mexico
City in issuing defs to the admins
tration of the United States is rather
puzzling. AS matter OF home con-
sumption an ant-American senti-
ment appears to be popular, but
when Carranza's representatives have
shown their hands in Washington 1t
has usually indicated desire to
secure the support of President Will
son and his advisers. There is every
difference in the world between Car
rama talking for publication, ana
the Carranza on the q. t.
When You Have Fleas. GOrgasiZe!

Mullins That Mother Used to Make.

Uncle Sans food experts declare
that the old-fashioned stone-ground
meal is superior to the new-fangled
stuff that comes out of the mills a
ton at a clip. The old meal pre-
served the rich, oily flavor that made
mullins, hoecake and pone famous.
The reason why roller mill meal has
become almost universal is because
it will keep much longer than the
stone-ground meal.
Bad hammered Congressman.
Congressman Frank Buchanan of
Illinois requisitioned the president
to receive a delegation of men to tell
him how'to shape his foreign policy.
Secretary Tumulty politely replied
that the president had no time to
give to such engagement during the
short break he had made in his vaca-
ton period by coming to Washing
ton. Whereupon Buchanan wrote a
|saucy letter saying that President
Wilson had had time to receive the
interests of big business, but turned
down delegation of representatives
of labor. The evidences are that the
delegation were closer to being
representatives of Representative
Buchanan than anyone else.
Buchanan is unfortunate in having
exhibited his bad manners in trying
to break into the White House dur
ing dog days. since thereby he has
run aground of Eye pencil pushers'
who are so disengaged that we have
time to resent any trough stuff
being pulled on the president of the
United States.
Express Companies Lose Choice
Graft.
Just why the United States gov
eminent should operate a system SUI
perior to the jitneyized express COM
panies and at the same time pay these
express companies for transporting
money from one point to another
ought to be characterized as "mys-
terry" since Boss Plat, former
president of one of the companies,
has been dead for years. and his COM
pany expired later on as a result of
the parcel post buzz saw. The gov
eminent will henceforth carry it's
own mail, depriving the express COM
panies of nearly a half million dol
lars of business. For 25 years the
government paid 20 cents thousand
dollars for shipments between Wash
ington and Philadelphia, and the
rate varied to $50 per thousand
dollars on shipments to San Fran
cisco.
One by one the little plums that
ripened year after year are dropping
onto the cold, cruel ground for the
last time. and Uncle Sam is finding
1t cheaper to carry packages for him
self and the public than to build up
lists of millionaires to thicken the
"Who's Who" book.
