Where the sensation tWcnty -tvc years ago this

punishment, that Of the present has revolved
around the two principal characters. Becker and
Whitman. with Mrs Becker running in and out of
the scenes as moth about fame. On the one
hand was the convicted man, once the king OF
New York S tenderloin, naughty and arrogant and
insolent when first convicted and sent to Sing
Sing; during the last few months an entirely
changed man. quiet, far more respectful of others
and more reserved On the other was the man
who had prosecuted and convicted him twice, one
of the few instances in which man is convicted
in second trial for murder, and to this man fate
gave. when he became governor, Becker's life.
The former police lieutenant went to his death
with the positive declaration from his own lips
that he was innocent and with the statement from
the governor that ono man s guilt was ever more
clearly proved Would man protest his limo
cencd in the shadow of the valley of death!
That is a question many have been asking this
week. but answer first this: Would another, alone
having the power, send man to his death if there
were the least shadow of doubt as to his guilt?
We do not think so.

AND NOW-ANOTHER YEAR.

This issue, the first in August. marks the third
anniversary of the present management of The
Washington Standard and the opening also
of that which we confidently believe. from the
local developments of the past few months will
be the most successful year of them all. 1t is not
our province or purpose now to engage in any
vocferous Boosting or to make any loud sounding
predictions to what are going to do We
have our plans we think they will work to the
Improvement of this newspaper; we propose to
carry them out and let you be the judges.
There is one thing to which we do want to call
your attention, however, if even for just
ment, and that is the most loyal and excellent
service of our staff of correspondents in many of
the communities throughout the county. They are
doing work which pleases all Of you and doing
it in such way that that feature of this news
paper has gained for it high reputation among
the weekly publishers Of the state so that
ment here is more than earned
We enter upon the years work with the
confidence as we have said, that it will be most
successful. You have given us a most hearty
measure of support during the past three years;
we trust that we will merit it still more in the
year which is before us.

ONE YEAR OF WAR.

Last Sunday saw the end of the first year OF
strife in war-ridden Europe; a year ago last
Wednesday the first blow was struck in Belgium.
Then we, as nation Of onlookers, were stunned
first and then confident that some agency in the
world, vaguely typifed by illusions to modern
civilization, would not permit leading nations to
engage long in terrible struggle, but as time has
gone on and each day has chronicled new terrors,
each day has seen the strife breaking into greater
and greater devastation the preparations always
for larger and larger operations the holocaust has
grown into such stupendous proportions, its cost
has been so fearful, that the human MIND can
hardly grasp the extent of it.
Today the end seems more distant, far more dis
tant, than it did year ago. Then most of us,
ignorant Of the game that had been played behind
the curtain in Europe for years, did not reckon
the significance of the shot which rang out IN the
Serbian capital that July day. starting the fire to
blazing in the finder of huge militaristic prepara
TONS nor could we bring ourselves to realize that
the great war itself, once started, would be con-
tinued for more than just short time. We did
not know then; now we do, and knowing what
the last year brought FORTH we hesitate as to the
future
Elsewhere in this issue is published short
resume-a fashlight thrown on the record of that
year-which you will find interesting to read
Expressed it is there the story of this past year
is visualized for us in way that enables us to
realize, vaguely at least the terrific cost of it in
men and money, the material standards with
which we have to measure it. What it will mean
to civilization, what its effect on nations, races.
peoples and governments on all the features of
our Wanted modern civilization no man
reckon-that is left for the history of later years.

FIFTY YEARS AGO-AND NOW.

There may not be any coincidence in it, but in
the issue of The Washington Standard for fifty
years ago this week, we noted the following COM
ment which would appear to apply quite as well
to the present newspaper situation in Olympia as
it did then to those at which it was directed:
cit is amusing to witness the twisting OF some
of the journals on this coast, to avoid committal
upon questions which will soon come before the
people for consideration until they can see clearly
which side is to be the popular one. Some OF
these are models of civil engineering.
1t would take more than a civil engineer to fol-
low present-day tactics, if any one even had the
inclination.

unusual opportunity to receive practical advice

HAPPY DAY AT PEARL
EAGAN HOME.

Every time we do a good deed, we
are not only better for it, but we are
happier for it, and so there were
three very happy little girls yester-
day, and their own Happiness was
the cause of great deal of happiness
to others.
Elizabeth Aiken, Mary Coney and
Dorothy Forbes, who spent part of
the day at the Pearl Eagan Home,
furnished delightful treat for the
children. A big watermelon, fifty
ice cream cones and a camera, made
the material for a day of rare pleas
ure, and the three little girls, who
carried so much happiness to others,
enjoyed the day as much as did the
children and Mrs. Eldrige, the ma
tron of the Pearl Eagan Home, who
loves all little children and has made
of the home real home, where chill
dren know some of childhood's joys.

SUMNER sAcHETs.

At no season of the year should a
woman exercise greater care in the
selection of perfumes or toilet waters
than in summer. Contrary to the US
ual belief, the hotter the weather, the
more delicate should be the perfumes.
In winter only are the sensuous,
heavy odors, suggestive Of the Orient,
endurable. And even then they are
not considered in as good taste as
the more delicate perfumes,
"A dealer who caters to exclusive
and fashionable trade says that the
really smart woman seldom or never
uses extracts in summer. Her bath
is rendered more agreeable and re-
freshing by dash of her favorite
toilet water, but her garments, trunks
and chests of drawers are perfumed
only with orris root or orris root
tinged with the most delicate of
sachet.
This is one method she uses for
pertaining her summer garments
She makes a bag of cheap lawn OF
dimity, big enough to cover the en-
tire dress, and to keep it free from
dust. Incidentally, she hangs in this
a long, narrow sachet the length OF
the dress, or fills with the powder the
padded hanger on which the dress and
bag are hung,
Bodices are laid away in drawers
lined with thin sachet pads, and the
boxes in which the summer girl keeps
her belts, ribbons, ETC., are perfumet
in the same way. Her garments are
thus permeated with a delicate odor
! less pronounced than that which fol
lows the use of extracts or toilet
waters.
