Manners vs.. Kindness.

What are good manners? Many deii-
nitions have been given from time to
time, but one of the best is the sort
of manners which are guided by kind
ness and consideration for others. II
you keep this in mind you need not
be afraid of criticism. II you let
your actions be guided by motives OF
kindness, il you consider others before
yourself, you are bound to do the
right thing-which is the kind thing
at the right time. OF course there arc
various forms In social usage which
can only be acquired by association
with refined persons, but II this 10
denied one, the seeker after good man
ners cannot go very far astray II he
or she remembers to let kindness and
consideration rule. In these days when
the average person Is "out for him
self" when selfshness Is the predomi-
nant note OF social and business inter-
course, the man or woman who thinks
OF others and acts according 10 their
wishes will soon be marked for q
kindness OF manner which cannot be
equaled by those who have been
called to higher places In life.

Pointing out that the various city
departments had exceeded their
allowances by more than $4,000 dur
ing the first six months of the year,
leaving balance for the remaining
months of about $4,000, excluding
$4,000 temporarily advanced to the
city water department., Mayor Geo. A.
Mottman, in a formal statement to
the council Wednesday night, de-
clared that "the strictest economy is
imperative in our city AFFAIRS

proceedings depriving the city of

said sum is to be repaid into the gen
eral fund as soon as the city is in
charge of the waterworks."
Then, after stating that "the strict
est economy is imperative" the
mayor, including in his statement a
of the city's finances,
closed by saying: II respectfully
urge the chairmen of the different
standing committees of the city to see
to it that the different city depart

Track Decision Expected Soon.

Superior Judge John r. Mitchell
is expected to file in day or two his
decision in the controversy between
the city and Olympia Light 4 Power
company as to which should lower its
South Main street tracks to the grade,
and also on the city's suit to compel
the company to pave between its
tracks in the new Improvement dis
trict On East Fourth street. The
controversy between the city and the
company was temporarily enlivened
during the last week when sombody
connected with the city tore up a
spur track the company had laid on
South Main street. The company i'm
medately got an injunction against
the city and the city replied by getting
an injunction against the company,
both effective until the franchise de-
cisions are given.

COUNCIL ORDERS STREET
LIGHTS ON NEXT MONTH
Adopts Resolution Without Discus.
sion and Without Stipulation
as to Price.

without any discussion and with
out specifying the length of time in
volved or the price to be paid, the
city council this week adopted reso-
luton directing the Olympia Light &
Power company to turn Olympia's s
street lights on again September l
and to continue furnishing the serv-
ice until notified to discontinue. The
lights have been off since March II
and in the meantime there has been
a controversy between the city and
company as to the terms of a new
contract.
When asked Thursday what action
the company would take, Manager
l.. b. Faulkner declined to state until
he had received an official copy of the
resolution, which is published under
CITY Legal Notices" on another page
of this issue. The company might
pursue several courses: refuse to turn
on the lights without definite con-
tract from the city; furnish the lights
on the old contract basis and price, or
furnish them on the new terms it re-
Gently offered, which it says are 40
per cent lower.
The city officials would make no
comment on the passage of the resolu
ton, other than Mayor Mottman's
statement that it has no significance
other than that we will have lights
on the streets, but it is understood
that negotiations with both this
company and Wilbur B. Foshay for
several years contract will be con-
tinued. The adoption of the resolu-
ton followed the publication over
Manager Faulkner's signature of a
budget in which he contended the
city might spend $1,000 year for
lights if it wanted to, which brought
a hot reply from Mayor Mottman.

ROOSEVELT SAYS he WILL

Colonel Not Going Back to Republic.
ans-POindexter Sees No
Third Party.

Following the clarion call issued
last week by Victor Murdoch of Kan
sas, chairman of the Progressive ma
tional committee, which he closed by
saying: "The Progressive party will
60 on with it's fight straight out and
flatfooted," Colonel Roosevelt, who
reached his home in Oyster Bay, N.
j., Monday, after his Pacific Coast
trip issued a statement placing him.
self on record as not intending to re-
turn to the Republican fold and dis
cussed the announcement Of some of
the Progressive party leaders in New
York state that they intended to en-
roll with the Republican party this
year.
Col. Roosevelt's statement follows:
"As regards the Progressives who
have announced their intention of en-
rolling as Republicans in this state
have nothing to say. except l think it
has been fine of them to have made
the great fight they have made during
the past three years for Progressive
principles, and am sure they are act

now take and with the purpose of
doing what they regard as most USE

would be an impossibility for me my
self to take that step. ! shall enroll
as Progressive, and if any man in
this state asks my advice / shall ad-
,, wise him also to enroll as a Progress
sive."
Miles PoindeXter, the lone Bull
Moose senator in the last congress
who now wants the senatorial nomi-
nation in this state on the Republican
ticket, apparently did not have a tip
as to what the Coolnel was going to
say, for on the same day he issued. a
statement in Tacoma in which he
said:
"In my opinion there will be no
national Progressive ticket in the
field in 1916. The alignment will be
much the same as in 1910"
Miles apparently guessed wrong.
