are either on the free list or are sub
ject to the lowest rates Of duty. A
fair measure OF the activity Of our
great national productive industries
is disclosed in the amount of these
essential importations.
To judge by the present records,
American manufacturing as a whole
is exceedingly dull-worse' even than
in the first year Of the Simmins-
Underwood tariff. There are, OF
course. exceptions that serve to prove
the rule, like the abnormal stimulus
given to. the steel business by the
demand for implements of war But
as a whole, the record is adverse,
and it is not strange that II is sub
mitted without comment by the ma
tional administration.
Western farmers whose foodstuffs
gain new and eager markets from
the war are reasonably satisfied,
but the people OF the manufacturing
states are wroth with the present
administration and its economic pol
icies-so the New York Sun discov-
ers in a nationwide political can
vass which describes President Will
son as having the smallest and
feeblest following in the New Eng
land states of the entire country. Il
Is easy 10 understand why this is so
from these Washington records Of

Children'S Talk Out Front
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES T. cR0zIER.

Our Mary Jane has got a beau,
And mamma thinks he's right.
He passes by the house each day
And then comes every night
When he goes by, she's on the porch.
And twists and we yes her hand.
l guess those are some lovers signs
That we don't understand.
Then all us kids must go 70 bed.
Be quiet as a mouse
Don't laugh or talk or make a noise
While he is in the house.
He stands IN MT Roberts store,
His name Is Willie bings,
He weighs out sugar. rice and starch.
And several other things.
And Mary Jane Just sings all day.
Whie making pies and things.
and we don't get a single taste.
They're all for Mr. Bings.
And Mary says those pfes are bats
When Willie Bings shall call,
! guess that's right he's swallowed
down
The hook and line azd all.
/ think he'll be our brother soon,
AT least II looks that way,
For pop and nom and grandmom too.

Editorial OpinioR
A PROPER DECISION.

From the Norfolk virginian Pilot.
In granting the express companies
permission to make moderate IN
crease in rates, the Interstate COM
merce Commission has apparently
consulted the public interest as wen
As the equities of the situation. since
he inauguration of the parcel post
and the placing OF the express
carriers under the control OF the
Interstate Commission, the COM
oanies are no longer in position 10
practice the extortion which they for
80 long carried to such extremes, ana
ro the great body of the people are
sodav a great deal less interested IN
express rates than they we're in other
times. With the feeling of reasona-
Bile safety against imposition engen-
5ered by the changed conditions. the
strong prejudice created by the nigh
handed methods formerly pursued by
the express carriers has largely sub
sided and the public is now disposed
TO favor treating them justly and
fairly. This is exactly as 1t should
be. The express companies, despite
The expansion Of the parcel post, per-
form a useful service and in the per-
torrance of that service they are en-
lit;ed to reap a reasonable profit.
Tie Interstate Commission is con-
Vinced after prolonged and exhaustive
Investigation that the reductions in
rates made some time ago went too
far and so has rectified the mistake
by granting slight advances. To have
done otherwise would have been to
do injustice to the express COM

IerRMANy,s MISFORTUNE.

Trom the Springfield Republican.
II is Germany's misfortune that
Us complaints are always put for
ward in a belated and inopportune
way which does not carry the effect
of sincerity. When they wished to
Justify the invasion Of Belgium, Ger
man officials brought forward
vague tale of French officers cross
ing Belgium soil in automobiles. To
Justify bonfbarding peaceful villages
with airships they met plain authen-
ticated facts with indefinite stories
Of like acts by the Allies When
they wished to use gas they prepared
the way with similar vague and i'm
probable stories OF the use of gas by
the French. When they wished to
use submarines they invited the world
to sympathize with Germany for be-
ing starved which is now known not
to be the case. Eor all these reasons
the German white book of March 26
on Russian atrocities, now put for
ward as an answer to the Bryce re-
port on the German outtages in Bel
GUM, has less effect than It would
have under other circumstances No
doubt there were grave abuses. and
II may be that in neither case has the
full truth been told, but for the tu-
quoque as a defense the world does
not specially care and once more the
German paper gives that curious ef-
feet which has appeared so often
during the war.

THE REPUBLICAN TREND.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The results of the canvass conduct
Cd by the Washington bureau of the
New York Sun, 10 ascertain the SEN
timent Of the country IN respect to
Republican candidates for president,
are OF interest more as an indication
Of the trend OF thought and feeling
within the party than as a revela-
hon OF personal preferences; and this
notwithstanding the fact that the
trend has been apparent to intelli-
gent observers for many months.
Principles, in democracy, are al
ways more important than personali-
ties, and ii is the principles OF the
Republican party that have won its
battles and achieved its triumphs It
was an internal war OF personalities
that caused its downfall in 1912. The
foundations Of the party we're neither
disturbed nor involved until men
rather than beliefs became the over
powering issue. And in the division
which followed the differences OF
principle were more apparent than
real. Fundamentally the Progressives
were never far away from the Re-
publicans. They developed some
novel tNeCIieS OF popular anu bONeIu-
mental powers and duties which we're
distinguishing decorations Of a plat
form that retained the essential ele-
nents of Republicanism.
So IL was that when the personal
element of contention was removed
by dual defeat they began at once to
drop back into the places they had
but temporarily vacated. They had
never been. at heart, anything else
than Republicans, even in their bit
terest moods, and they did not stul-
tify themselves nor strain their con-
sciences by returning. And now. hav-
ing got together again, the party is,
naturally, somewhat disposed to con-
servatism. This tendency has been
apparent for some time and the Suns
inquiry but adds another bit Of evil
dence Of the trend. That 1t may re-
suit in the selection of a conserva-
tive candidate is quite within the
range of possibility, but that person
ality will be subordinated to principles
is as certain as the identity of the
maker Of little apples. The Republi-

F STREET TO
BE IMPROVED

A mass meeting was held last night
at the city council chambers by F
street property owners and final de-
cision was reached to pave that thor
oughfare, from Third to NICK inlay
streets, with wood planking, 20 feet
wide, and with six-foot sidewalk.
City Engineer L. D. Kelsey had
prepared estimates for both concrete
and wood planking, the latter being
for 16-foot roadway. Property own
ers, of whom the dozen present rep
resented pretty we'll the entire dis
trict affected, favored the WIDER road
way, however. A few members of the
city council were present, and at to.
morrow evenings council session it
is likely that a resolution will be in.
trcduced in accordance with the de-
els on arrived at last night, providing

0RPHEUS CLUB.
CONCERT IN MAY

The long heralded and much dis
cussed concert to be given by the Or
Smith says Welsh declares it is be
pheus club will be on May 20 at the
Grand theater. There seems little
doubt, from the viewpoint Of musi
clans and of the general music loving
public, that this will be one Of the
most important events that yet has
taken place in musical circles ol
Grays Harbor.
While most of the numbers on the
program are designed by Director S
Wetteland as male choruses or other
massed effects of the male voice
there will be solo work as we'll. Theo
Carl Johnston, Seattle tenor, who
achieved distinction year ago in the
rendition of grand operas, by anna
teurs of the Queen City, has been Sc
cured for the vocal solo work, and
Professor Diamond. a anist of Sc
attic, will furnish instrumental solos
In addition, 1t is likely that one OF
two women vocalists of Grays Harbol
will be on the program.

An unidentified man, presumably a
sailor, met his death by drowning in
the bay underneath the O.-W. bridge,
shortly after midnight. 1t is believed
that the man committed suicide, as
it would be difficult for one to fall
from the bridge, and that the un-
known's passage to the water was
from the bridge is amply proven by
testimony Of witnesses. The tragedy
occurred at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing. John Patton heard the mans
cry as he struck the water and with
others hastened to his assistance.
The body was taken from the bay by
Harry Martin. with a pike pole. with
in a few minutes. but life already
was extinct.
The remains lie at the Fissel &
Pinnick morgue in this city, un-
identified as yet. G. w. Huotari in
spected the body this morning and
declared that it was not that Of a
Finn, though others believed the dead
man to have been Of that nationality.
His garb was that of a sailor and
on his breast were tatooed the fig
ures Of four girls. The mans age
was about IS years, 1t is thought. He
was shaven smooth. had red hair and
light complexion, was about six feet
tall, weighed 1es to IT'S pounds and
was Of powerful physique.

made today by Louis H. Burnett, pres.
, ident Of the Aberdeen and Hoquiam
! Gas corporation. Within two or, at
the most, three months the new
company will call for bids for the
erection in Aberdeen of a gas plant
to cost more than $15O,OOO. While

symbol of the service, already inau-
gurated in Auburn and soon to be
given in Montesano, where construc-
tion Of plant was started last month
yet $50 cent gas" may prove to be
the better title, in the end; for the
plans of the new corporation call for
vast savings in production of gas from
wood and proportionate saving to con.
sumer.
Both residence and business Sec
ions OF ADeroeen ana HOqulam Will
be served with the new illuminant
and fuel for manufacturing plants
The sum Of 100000. approximately
will be spent in the two cities in con.
struction OF plant and equipment,
calling for the laying Of near 200
miles Of gas pipe. North and East
Aberdeen residences are to be served
and possibly those on the south side
Of the Chehalis river, as we'll.
In full operation the local plant
will employ some 80 men and its an.
nual payroll will be about $4,000.
