How far the Slavic spirit can push its narrow
convention OF world was signihed IN the facts
that all the states manufactures were de-
prived of their foreign technical leaders-Rus-
sian citizens for long years-who had been
chosen by the government, and so the narrow
minded Slav spirit dried up the source OF the
war necessities. And it was signihed in the

Slavic nations under the hegsmony OF Rus

Observation-Disclosures dominating the world.
His fanaticism was a sincere one. He accom-
plished in the midst of all wars misery great
things for the Slav spirit. His overtowering
personality disciplined the Russian army.
With hercuean strength he tore out the roots
Of the evil of alcoholism. He pressed on the
military leaders the highest spirit of duty. He
represented the moral force. He became the
great popular war figure, and the whole coun-
try leaned with a chlds faith on the high
pillar which was erected in the mighty power
Of Nicolai Nicolajewitsch. A fluid Of his never
resting will TRANSPORTED the soldiers. They
conquered their Unborn passivity and never
in history has the Russian army shown such
death defyng bravery and such self-conscious
zeal to be victorious.
Berlin was the hot longing, the desired goal,
Of the Grand Duke. The short distance from
the Russian border to Berlin seemed a mere
trifc to the people. They exulted with ma
tional enthusiasm in the outmsrching superb
regiments; it was the splendid youth on their
way TO Berlin.
But there came the misty autumn mornings
the deluding light Of the vast silvern looking
plans-a cruel Fata Morgana, which allured
them to the swamps OF Masuren; horrid grave
for these brave and hopeful youths, horrid
grave for the Grand Dukes gigantic promise.
He himself ragged in a swoonng fury; he be-
came the barbaric tyrant of the middle ages.
He punished with his own hands the generals
for lost battles by whipping and by sending
them to trial and to their death. He became
from popular figure the feared war god.
1t was Count White who with the keen eyes
of trained statesman perceived this wasting
of men and war material. He lifted his warm

PROTECT CHILD WORKERS

Observation-Disclosures a legisla-
ture has been induced to place child
labor law on it's statute books, the
public often assumes that its duty is
ended, says the children's bureau of
the federal department of labor, in a
report on the administration of the
child labor certificate system in Con.
necticut. The bureau says the pass
age of a child labor law is only be
ginning in the task of protecting chill
dren from overwork and exploitation,
and that the greatest task is to see
that the law is carried out. In Con
necticut a child cannot go to work
until he is IA years old, and until 16
cannot work unless he has an en-
ployment certificate. Under the Con-
necticut system the state board of
education dovetails the working of
the compulsory education law with
the child labor law. Agents of the
state board inspect conditions in the
various cities and towns. The bureau
announces that other states will be
investigated for the purpose OF dis
covering the best system of protect
ing children at work.

EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW

Bourke Cochran once found occa-
sion to inform congress that you
can't put man with $10,000,O00 in
Jail" 1t was quite a few years ago
when Cochran was in congress. Ten
million dollars is not as big a pile as
it was then.
1t is quite possible that man with
SO 100000 could be put in Jail today.
But it is exceedingly doubtful If he
could be kept there. 1t would be very
hard to hang him, unless he should
be laboring under the illusion that
he could carry his wealth with him.
No man brings anything into the world
with him and no man can take any
thing with him when he passes to
the other shore. Therefore man
with $10,O00,OO0 has a great many
strong arguments to show that he
should not be hanged.
When Harry Thaw was so insane as
to shoot Stanford White he placed
his life in jeopardy. 1t is true that
he had a million dollars and his moth
er and his sister and his uncles and
his aunts had many more millions.
But White was a man of some conse-
ouence. He was not only an architect
of great ability, but he numbered
among his friends and associates many
of New York's multi-millionaires.
They did not like the idea of crazy
Pittsburg millionaire, who had never
rendered any service to society, but
ting into their preserves. They swore
that Thaw should be hanged. But
with the aid of his lawyers and emln-
ent alienists, he established his insan-
ity. After having proved that he was
insane, the only way for him to gain
his freedom was to prove that he has
regained his sanity. This he has fin
ally done and he is now entitled to
his freedom on bail while the state
appeals the case.
All men are equal before the law
but a million dollars is more than an
equity in Persian rug.

ferior; the public service commission
in 1912 said, and so found that the
water from Pigeon creek number one
was continually being contaminated.
1t must not be forgotten that when
the present system was put in parts
of the city, and nearly all the sur
rounding country was virgin forest
nature in all its purity. Since then
the forest has been removed, many
a tract of land opened up, people liv-
ing on land from which water finds
its way to the present system. That
contamination must occur is beyond
question. Go if you will and examine
some of the lands above the intake
and satisfy yourself. That the pres
ent owners are trying hard to do the
best they can no one will dispute, but
the fact remains it is antiquated. and

growing city, and new and better

Third: In the matter of economy

the principle to give the least possible
service at the greatest possible pro-
fit, while a municipal owned utility
is operated on the principle of giving
the greatest service at the least cost
or at actual cost. Seattle, and Bel

for water and light in Everett is
about 100 per cent higher than in Sc

whole, is greater even than that. The
rate for light for residence in Everett
is 8.S8 cents per kilowat hour, while
in Seattle the rate is 51a cents for
the first As, and cents for all above

erett should pay these rates, and in
Seattle, where the company has com.
petition, and in Everett none, the
rates should be so much less? The
electricity used in both cities is made
at the same place and by the same
machine Some one explain.
But there are some other matters
in the expense that Everett voters
should know. In 1911 the Stone &
Webster interest leased the present
water system, among other interests
from the Everett Railway, Light &
Water company for a period of 999

have been asked to set forth some
of the facts and reasons why, If any,
Everett should vote for the bonds and
acquiring of a municipality owner wa
city are going to vote on the question
of acquiring a new source of water,
and also acquiring the ownership of
the present local system. AS this is
a matter involving the future health
of the now and future residents of
Everett; the matter of protection to
property; the part that cheap and
pure water has in the bringing of
manufactures to a locality to engage
in their business; and last but not
least the question of economy, it
would seem proper that the matter
should be considered carefully and I'M
biased before determining the ques-
ton.
| will endeavor to take these mat
tiers up in their order briefly.
First That the health and well be-
ing of the inhabitants of a community
is the most vital question to be con-
sidered, needs no argument these days
to any one, except those whose only
conception of life is to make dollars.
The City of Seattle has water that is
said to be unsurpassed, and furnished
to it's consumers so that on meter
rates for eight or nine-room houses
the monthly charge seldom exceeds so
cents per month. Seattle health as a
city is said to be the highest in the
United States, i. e., the death rate is
the lowest. Will some one tell US
why the same rate should not exist in
Everett? Second: Everett needs
ample fire protection, and in order to
do that there must be water to supply
the demand whenever needed What
would happen, with our present sys-
TEN, should a great fire break out in
the commercial part of the city, and
at the same time several large mills on
the waterfront be burning, and should
this occur during the latter part OF
August when everything is dry as
finder? Let US hope that no such con-
dition will arise until we have an ef-
ficient water system. Here we are. at
the foot hills where nature sends down
from those everlasting fields of snow
and ice as pure water, and unlimited
quantities of it, and yet we are com
PEELED to use an inferior quality of
water, pay exhobitant price for it and

The evidence goes on to state that
"the total amount of the appraisal
item being approximately $4,000"
Then the evidence goes on to state as
follows: THE amount for the com
bined apartments amounts to approx
imately $1,000 per month" Then
again it says as follows: "(C) Seat
tie district office charge. This is ap-
proximately 5000 per month" Stone
e Webster then get $1,000 per month
in Boston for general management;
$3.50 per month fro appraisment, and
5000 per month for the Seattle office,
or in all $1,450 per month, and a
stakeholder here $4,000 per annum,
and all this to be paid by the consum-
ers of water and light and patrons of
the street car line. Great business.
What are the officers and employees
here doing? Why do we have to pay
those in Boston to do all this? In
other words, what do Stone & Webster
do to earn the $1,450 per month? BY
what right does a stakeholder receive
the $4,000 per year above mentioned?
Some wise one explain.
Then is it not for the best interest
of the people of Everett to own and
operate its own water plant, and as
soon as it can own its own lighting

ties as fast as they can be acquired.
