Police to Pass
Elopement Case

Police officials said today that
they would take no action as a
result of the attempt of Frank p.
Recob, 19-year-old son of Detec-
tive Price Recob. to elope Sunday
with Miss Buena Steely, age Is,
a Stadium high school student.
So far as the attempted elope-
ment is concerned, the police say
they have nothing to do. No crime
was committed, they assert.
AS for the boys father. De-
tective Recob, 1t would be hard to
punish him for the acts of his
son. said Chief Loomis today.
The boy has been in a great
deal of trouble, but we can't hold
his father responsible for that"
Young Recob admitted to the
police several months ago that he
was leader of gang of boys i'm
plicated in the theft of large
number of Tacoma automobiles,
but was released by the police be-
cause of his fathers pleas. He has
been arrested several times for
various offenses, the police say.

Let's coin a new word in talk
ing about caring for the windows
of the soul. LET'S CALL 1T
"EYEOBOGY."
And first it must be remem-
bered the important thing is to be
born with pretty eyes. II your
eyes are small, or misty pale, or
squinty, or Informed, all the care
in the world cannot make them
beautiful.
But granted that your eyes are
we'll formed, of good color and
without defect, the thing is to
take care of them, just as you
would take care of any other part
of your body. Ii nature gives you
the start, it is up to YOU to do
| the rest.
And there are two cardinal
rules that must be observed:
t. Clean living.
Clean thinking.
Nothing will take the fire and
lustre out of the eyes like UNI
wholesome or too much food; too
much drink; too late hours; too
little Sleep. too much dancing.
A healthy girl does not
have drOopy eyelids nor puffy

BELIEVE GIRL
DIED OF BUMP
while BATHING

A jagged bruise on the head of
Miss Florence G. Brown, the ac-
complished girl who was drowned
in Gravelly lake Sunday evening
lent credence today to the theory
that the girl had struck against
the bottom of the lake while div
ing, and had drowned while I'M
conscious.
Miss Brown had lived for sew
eral years with the family of for
mer Mayor w. w. Seymour. She
was an expert botanist and art
ist. Last winter she was retained
by the Great Northern railroad to
paint pictures of the flora found
in Glacier National park, and
made a distinct hit with her
clever work. The pictures are on
exhibition at the San Francisco
exposition.
The funeral will be held at
1880 Wednesday from the Buck
ley-King chapel, Rev. Frank Dyer
officiating. Interment will be at
Woodbine cemetery, Puyallup.

THE ENORMOUS EXPENSE OF A NAVY.

The admission must be made that we are too
far inland to know much about navy, but we
should still not be particularly alarmed by those
who go up and down proclaiming the feebleness
Of our naval defense and demanding an enormous
expense for its improvement
In the decade of years last past the United
States has spent 81 ,6OOOO0,OOO on its navy while
Germany has spent but 81 200 100000 and yet we
are told that our navy is infinitely inferior to the
German
We have spent more money every year and
said less about it than has been spent by any other
nation with a navy Of size corresponding TO ours
Evidently the thing to do is to find out how our
money is expended and why it is so inferior, if
that is the case and what shall be done TO get our
moneys worth.
Certainly we can have at least as large navy
as the German, if We spend as much money az
Germany, and certainly it ought to be no less eff
cient There is little higher cost in wages and
equipment to our fleet than to theirs, but that is
not enough to account for q difference of about
$40,0O0,000 year through ten year period.
II it shall result in having at the head Of the
navy permanent body Of experts who steer us
into a settled policy the same as other nations
have, it will be well to have this agitation.
We have been 80 long free from the need of q
great army and great navy that we have become
amateurish as a people and though unsurpassed
in business energy and enterprise and zeal and
power, we still bring men from civil life into tn,
cabinet and put them at the head Of our depart
ments Of defense with almost a gay indifference,
to our national needs

leans do not like the tenor of American public
sentiment as touching the present European con-
flict. they have no one to blame but themselves,
for had it not been for the m.ischevious activity
Of the German press bureau and the meddlesome
officiousness Of the agents Of the German gov
ernment there would have been no violation OF
President Wilson's advice to the American peo-
pie to hold their Judgment in abeyance and to re
frain from public discussion Of the issues involved
in the war.
The opinion of the American people Is being
irresistably formed even though few OF them dis
cuss the matter in public And this is an Amer
lean and not pro-English opinion as so many
German writers yainly imagine. II British army
had invaded Belgium, leaving devastation and
famine in its wake, and that in spite of neutrality
guarantees contained In the solemn covenants Of
"a scrap of paper" known as u treaty between
nations then just as sure as there is sense OF
Justice in the heart of the average American-plain
and unhyphenated though he be-publc senti-
ment in this country would be even stronger in
its condemnation Of Great Britain than it is of
Germany.
BY all means let Pan-Germansm organic" in
the United States Let it organize for political
purposes or otherwise and see what will happen,
The spirit Of true Amercanism is ready and it will
welcome the day when such an issue is made plain.

THE RISING GENERATION OF BANDITS.

1t is very likely that the day Of the bandit gang
in Oklahoma has passed forever due to the eff
cient work that was done years ago by the deputy
United States marshals, but there is another gem
Grafton coming on that should be wiped out be-
fore it reaches the gang stage
Too many banks are being robbed in Oklahoma
and too many men are being endangered by these
despersdoes who work in isolsted places While
il is true that there are bank robberies elsewhere
they are not 30 frequent as in this state. The
country banker can never feel that he is safe
from a raid while the present conditions prevail
Usually the bank rObberes are the work Of one
or two men. II is not known that they belong to
any organized gang as did the Daltons and Doolins
but they are fast coming to that point Oklahoma
has had enough of that kind pf advertising in
the past and should not tolerate II again, for the
sake Of it's reputation if for no other reason
There was time, il will be remembered, when
tho travelling public avoided Oklahoma on account
Of the gangs that infested It. The reputation Of
the territory was bad and il was years before that
reputation was wiped out. The present bank rob-
bers are not holding up trains now hut they may
progress along that line in the near future
There are many who think the suggestion made
few days ago by William NJ righmsn, former
deputy marshal sheriff aud later chief Of police,
is one that will wipe out the rising generation OF
outlaws Tlghmsn suggested that the Legislature
establish rangers TO do the work and he believes
that the people OF the state would approve such
a move.

MORE ABOUT THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN

shortly after the beginning Of the great war
in Europe, President Wilson issued proclamation
of neutrality. Subsequently he saw fiji 10 issue
another proclamation In which he urged that the
American people to refrain from public discussion
OF the issues involved in the war The real Amer
lean people-that is, those whose Americansm is
not hyphenated and prefxed in such q way as to
invariably suggest divided allegiance in which
America is always second-,accepted President
Wilson's injunction in good faith and have abided
by il in spirit as we'll as letter
Not so with Pan-Germanisn in the United
States however The German press bureau has
been constantly busy, though there has never been
any apparent effort on the part of the allies to in
fluenoe public opinion in the United States. In
deed there has been veritsble flood of enlghten-
ment upon the innocence and justice Of Germany q
cause In the form Of books pamphlets, magazine
and review articles and addresses by Munsterberg,
Dernberg and other German protSgionists in
America
Even Count Won Bemstorf, the ambassador
from the court OF the kaiser has seen fit 10 medde
in matters Of American public policy more per
haps than foreign diplomat has dared attempt in
America since Citizen Genet of the French direc-
tcire became so offcious during the adminstra.
ton Of President Washington.
And now comes Herman Ridder of the New
York Staats-Zetung urging that the Germans and
the people Of German descent in the United States
should Organize" He does not say for what pur.
pose he would have them organize, but plainly Il
y meant as threat Of political unity on the part

rights upon the alien who seeks naturalization.

REDUCING NUMBER OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS

Bills have been introduced into the state leg
slature having for their purpose the abolition Of
certain boards aud the substitution Of boards
composed of certain state officers therefor These
include the state board Of affairs the state board
OF prison control and the state board of education
There are many arguments in favor Of the
proposition Such policy would undoubtedly
be in the interest Of economy and it might prove
TO be not less efficient Another argument in ia
v0r Of the proposition is that the imposition of
such ex-officiO duties upon certain elected officers
might lead to more careful discrimination in the
nomination and election of men to fill such Offices
There 10 another state board which might well
be dispensed with, namely the state board Of sg-
rlcuture. An appointve commissioner Of agri-
culture could administer the affairs Of the state
agricultural department far more efficiently than
has been done by the board thus far and the jurs-
diction in matters of agricultural education should
he consolidated with those Of the other state edu-
eatiOna institutions in one department The anoma-
lous conditions brought about by virtually sup
porting two sources Of administration in sducs-
tional affairs has led to lot of needless expense
and it is time that such a situation should be
cured.
Unfortunately there are constitutional limits-
tions in the way for the organic instrument con-
tains provisions for the creation of the board of

sion Of all state schools Of agriculture The con-

subsequent experience it is evident that boards of

culisrly adapted to the performance Of the func-
tions of public administrator in matters per
