THE GERMAN REPLY ARRIVES.
Washington Gets Official Texts and
President Begins Consideration.

Washington.-Offi texts of Ger
many's reply to the American note on
the naval war zone and Great Bri-
tain's replies to the American notes
on the use of the American flag and
the Wilhelmina case have all ar
rived at the state department. The
German reply, delivered by the Ber-
lin foreign office few days ago to
Ambassador Gerard, had been delayed
in transmission. 1t was at once con
verted from the diplomatic code and
sent to the White House to be laid
before the president.
With the official text at hand, how.
ever the president and his advisers
viii begin formal consideration OF
Germany's reply to the warning OF
the United States against destruction
of American ships or lives in the
naval war zone about the British
isles. Generally, the tone of the Ger
man note has been regarded as very
friendly
Great Britains reply 70 the repre-
sensations on the use of the Ameri
can flag bears upon the American
view of the German reply and the
next step in the negotiations with
Berlin, for expecting Germany tc
identity American ships before at
lacking them by submarines, the
United States is anxious there shall
be no general use of the American
flag by foreign vessals. The state
department is willing to let the viii
helmina case be adjudicated by 9
prize court and thus lay the lega
foundations for other proceedings oil

MEASURES TO DIE IN CONGRESS
Poor Show for Philippine and Conser-
walton Bills to Pass

Poor Show for Philippine and conser-
walton Bills to Pass.
Washington, Feb. 21.-Congress set
out on a six-day race Monday with the
waiting array of appropriation bills.
The senate must dispose of the big
supply measures at the rate of nearly
s100, 100000 a day, if, according to
agreement among the leaders, it is 20
bring the hard-fought administration
ship bill from the conference closet on
February 81 to debate it until noon, on
March A.
Partly because of this congestion
the death of some big measures at this
congress seems certain. Among them
are the bill to give a greater measure
of self-government and promise indie
pendence to the Philippine islands and
the conservation bills, which have
been much pressed, to unlock the re
sources of the west for development.
In the house the crush of the appro
priation bills is over and that body can
work without pressure.
The plans for the ship bill in the
senate are more or less mysterious
Leaders on both sides agreed to put il
into conference until next Saturday
with the understanding that the supply
bills should be passed meantime. Its
opponents declare, it is said, that if il
is not they still have the means Of
talking it to death. That the confer
ence could make the bill acceptable tC
administration democrats, the insur
gent senators of that party and the
gressive-republicans as well ant
pass the changed bill in both houses
is looked upon as doubtful.

1t is all very well to be independent
and give first consideration to your
own interests, but just keep in mind
the fact that individual prosperity,
even existence is based upon rela-
tions existing with other people. The
millionaire as well as the pauper is a
defendant, and the larger the inter
ests which are controlled, the greater
the demand for the help Of others
There is no such thing as self-suffici
ency, except, possibly, for the most
primitive hermit and recluse. The
man who is inconsiderate in his atti
tude toward those with whom be
comes in contact is as despicable as
the mendicant who robs or Injuries his
benefactor.
It is difficult to believe that higf
ideals and'a dirty collar go together

FORM SHIPPERS IN LEAGUE.
All Marketing Organizations to Be
Presented in AppIe-Selling
Rodv

The organization of shippers
league by all existing fruit market
ing organizations of the Pacific north
west will not be completed until
April
The organization meeting will be
held in Seattle and every shipper in
the four states will be invited too par
ticipate.
The establishment of this league, to
work with the executive committee
of the northwest fruit growers coun-
Gil, is the next important step toward
placing the marketing business of the
northwest on a completely coopera-
tive basis. 1t is with this league that
the growers executive committee VIII
have all dealings.
The purpose of the cooperative
plan between the growers executive
heads and the shippers league are
outlined as follows:
TO obtain for fruit growers the
maximum amount of service in return
for the compensation paid the ship
pers by the growers.
u StCuiG lnC ouOPt4Oh Va oNCA
uniform methods for the transaction
of business between the shippers and
the grower as will furnish a fair
basis of comparison.
ITO establish such practices with
regard to the selling and marketing
of fruit as will tend to eliminate
consignment and auction sales, pre-
vent unwise and unfair competition
and in every manner stabilize the
market, and secure for the grower
the greatest possible net return fol
his product.
"In conjunction and comparison
with the shippers, to proceed as oc
casion offers by conservative ant
well-considered measures to improve
the condition affecting the production
and marketing of fruit, and especial
ly to promote the interests of the
boxed apple industry of the north
west.
ITO arrange for the collection
through the shippers of a tax, to b'
paid by the growers, not to exceed l.
cent per box on apples and pears, l.
cent per box on strawberries and IL
cent per package upon other small
fruit shipped, to provide for the cos
and expense of this organization al
such funds to be subject to disburse

who shall make periodic reports t
the board of control.

shippers for the carrying out of tn
purposes herein outlined, and TO
other purposes as the same may az

and to enforce the same; and to tina

ANYBODY CAN HAVE ONE

pEV. BILLY SUNDAY has so urgently preached
~ rip-snortng devil and red-hot hell at them
that he seems to have generated grave doubts OF
their existence in the minds of many Pacific coast
people
Among the earliest of recorded instances OF
our acquaintance with the devil is that interview
had with him by Mother Eve an incident in which,
we understand, both Rev. Sunday and his dis
tinguished challenger, Rev. Chas. Aked, have full
belief.
On this very rare occasion of personal contact,
the devil appears to have acted like gentleman,
being suave In his address, sympathetic and politely
argumentative rather than extensively insistent.
Subsequent results would seem to indicate that
Mother Ewes reception of his frendliness and adj
vice was an error that, instead of listening to his
wlles. she should have run her hatpin into him,
after the policy of Rev. Sunday; made II helliSh
hot for him, as Rev. Sunday would say; and been
able to 20 back to good old Adam without any fatal
apples In Short il is Rev. Sundays policy to
tear the mask off the devil and present him to us
in all his personal force and ugliness, as Eve saw
him not.
However no matter what the personal ap-
pearance or the degree Of active operation OF the
devil in these later times, each of us can create for

A DUBIOUS PRECEDENT

THE constitutional convention of New York has
before it proposed amendment which is an
extremely dangerous one and not deserving Of the
serious consideration ii is being given.
The proposition is to give to Spanish war
veterans preference in civil service, which is rank
class legislation and opposed to the very funda.
mentals of civil service
If the Spanish war veterans deserve recogn
ton, because they happened to be Of fighting age
in 'o8, il should come in some manner not preju

In this case it's New Yorks affair alone but
unhappily, precedents established by New York are
sometimes accepted elsewhere.

ourselves just as ugly devil and as fierce he'll
as we want and the success achieved in this direc-
ton is sometimes beyond anything that Rev. Sun
day can picture. No one need be without devil
or he'll, and the difference between the types Of
Revs Sunday and Aked is largely one OF secondary
particulars.
Some of us may require the Satanic hoofs
horns and breath of fiery birthstone, while others
get devilish thru the quieer processes Of nsnuaton
and incubation, and there cannot reasonably be
hot quarrel over the way we cast the devil out Of
