VALUES THREE BIG PLANTS.
Public Service Board Completing
Largest Projects Ever Handled.

The public service commission is

At the same time remarkably good

POindexter Runs True to Form.
(Chehalis Bee-Nugget.)

Miles Poindexter, seeking re-elec-
ton as senator from this state, this
time under the Republican banner, Is
running true to form. He hopes to
gather the Democratic votes because
of his past affiliation, also the Bull
Moose vote because of his mouthings
during the 1912 campaign and his
record in the senate, and the Repub-
lican vote because he has renowned
all his anti-Republican record by try
ing to crawl back into the party
which he tried to betray. For I'M
adulterated nerve and lack of politi-
cal principles. this political trimmer
and misft is entitled to the prize. Bht
unless we are poor guessers the Re-
publican party will repudiate Poin-
dexter Just as soon as the opportunity
arrives, and allow him to return to
that ouietude where he may ponder
on the policy of trying to blow not
and cold with the same breath.

STYLES Last Note a Classic.

(Prosser independence
Some see in that last note to Ger
many the foundation for declaration
of war. The term "unfriendly act"
parallels that of the Monroe Doc
trine, which has kept the Western
hemisphere free from European
shackles, and not once has brought
us into war. This note to Germany
will go down in history as one of the
famous American documents of diplo-
macy and politics. 1t has earned for
Mr.. Wilson a place in the Hall of
Fame where the real greatness of
mind is considered rather than favor
ing circumstances of public renown.
1t is sentiment that voices the
rights of every neutral in any war,
and is sentiment that will make
harder the devastation and rapine of
another Belgium. 1t is statement
that will build for world peace, and
one that gives pre-eminence to this
great nation in the forming of arti-
cles of international law that will
guarantee the world against the MUIR
ders that are legalized under the
name Of war.

WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
IN THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO

From the Washington Standard for
August 5, 1868. Vol. v. No. 80.
The new territory of Montana, in
GLIDING the Rocky Mountains above
north latitude As and the valleys of
the Yellowstone, upper Missouri and
Bo wrivers on this side, is estimated
now to contain at least $4,000 inhab-
itants, though it only began to be
settled three years ago.
1t is our painful duty to announce
one of the most sad disasters that has
occurred on the northwestern coast
for many years, in the total wreck of
the steamship Brother Jonathan"
near Crescent City on her upward
trip, and the loss of many valuable
lives. The particulars are as yet
vague. In the list of passengers on
the Inflated craft we observe the
names of DR.. A. G. Henry of this place
and Victor Smith, late of this terri
tory, whose loss will carry sorrow to
the hearts OF many relatives ana
friends in our community.
A few months ago some of the
prominent men ouf our eastern cities
purchased magnificent carriage
with span of horses and trappings
complete, to present to President
Johnson. The intended honor, how
ever, was declined by the president,
and very properly, too, we believe.
The outfit has recently been sold at
auction, the carriage netting $1,4O0,
the horses $1,000 and the harness
$435.
The legislature of Maryland has
appropriated $1,000 for a national
cemetery at Antietam. 1t is expected
that other loyal states will raise like
sums.

LANSING EXCELS BRYAN
BECAUSE HE'S THINKER
So Declares President Thwing of
Western Reserve Before Uni
versity Students.

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Aug. 6.-The imperative need of
America, of the world, of civilization
for thinkers was discussed by Presi-
dent Charles F. Thwing of Western
Reserve university before summer
students recently.
Though prefacing his statements
with a remark that he must not be
unkind, DR.. Thwing made not few
of his auditors sit straighter when he
compared the character traits of sew
eral distinguished men, finally light
ing upon the recent and the present
secretaries Of state.
"Why" he asked, "does Mr.. Lam
sing, a man practically unknown till
a few years ago, make better secre-
tary of state than Mr.. Bryan, who
has been a conspicuous figure in pub
lie life for 20 years? Simply because
he thinks. Sometimes not to think
with your feelings is primary duty.
"And thank God" he added, with
feeling, referring to President Will
son, 1--WE have down in Washington a
man who is primarily a thinker; just
a man who can reason; greater than
politician; greater than a college
president (much greater); man
who sees clearly, relating fact to
fact OF course, he is scholar in
history, in political science and in
other things, but we are most CRATE
full because he is a man who can
think"

Roosevelt seems to have gone war
crazy. His speech at San Francisco
reads more like the rawlings of a mad
man than the deliberate utterances
of q former president. After such an
outbreak the thinking people have
still greater reason to thank God for
Wilson. The mouthpieces
Of the big trusts that would make
untold millions out of war scare
are also pounding on their tomtoms
and trying to start national ghost
dance. Even should any country
have a desire to make war on the
United States it is not in position
to do so now, and after the big war
is over. regardless Of who wins, 1t
will not be in a financial position to
start any kind of trouble for num-

Wilson Will Keep Out of War.
tSnOhOmiSh Tribune


Personally, our opinion is that
wilson is not going to lead this coun-
try into war. This belief is based
upon his reluctance to interfere in
Mexico, when the country as a whole
seemed to favor such action. So
greatly has public sentiment changed
since the horrors of war have been
seen in Europe that it is difficult even
now to realize that only few months
ago many clamored for war in Mex
leo and bitterly condemned the pres
ident for his policy of "watchful
waiting; but is is a fact that the
public felt far differently about war
then. Another reason, besides the
presidents actions in the past, that
we believe he will keep us out of war
is because Senator Kern, one of the
men closest to Wilson, went on rec
ord in a public statement not long
ago that he could assure the country
of one thing-that Wilson would not
involve us in war. Retaliatory meas
ures may be taken against Germany
and England if they continue to vio-
late the rights of the United States,
but that a declaration of war will
ensue we do not believe. England
does not want war with us, Germany
does not want war with us, and we
do not want war with them. Under
such circumstances it is inconceiv-
able that war shall come.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Events of Interest from the
Seat of Government.
BY j. e. JONES.
Safety on Land and Sea.

The great Chicago tragedy is re-
garded in Washington as proof posi-
tive of the wisdom of such legislation
as has been enacted in the LaFollette
seaman's lay, the provisions of which
have been fought by some steamboat
interests, particularly of the Pacific
Coast, including the officials of the
company which owned the Eastland.
1t having been frequently demon
strated that the steamboat companies
think more of large passenger list
than of human life, it is perfectly
natural that the federal government
should take hand in regulating con-
ditions. The LaFollette law does not
become effective until November, and
while in it's operation it will meet
but partially the conditions that have
made possible the Chicago tragedy,
yet those familiar with its provisions
declare that it is a step in the right
direction. Some of the American
steamship companies, in order to
show their contempt for the legisla-
ton Of congress, have announced
their intention of sailing under Chi
nese and other flags instead of the
Stars and Stripes.
1t does not take long memory to
recall that the railroads were about
as foolish as the steamboat compa-
MES, when the forces of sensible pub
lie opinion demanded a change in
their fossilized methods. The rail-
road officials pulled and threatened,
scolded-and finally wept. Mean
while congress and the state legisla-
lures, freed of their political domi-
nation, settled down and evolved SEN
sible methods to make these institu-
tons work in harmony with the bal
ance of the industrial and CONNER
cial scheme of the country.
After a few years number of the
railroad presidents woke up to the
fact that the public actually had
rights that ought to be respected, and
some of them got into the game and
helped inaugurate sensible safety de-
vices and equal rates to all. But it
took lot of logging to make them
see the light, just as it is going to
require a revulsion of public opinion
against reckless steamboat manage
ment to force some of the pig-headed
plutocrats in the business to a reali-
cation that the interests and safety
of the public must come first and
that the law of the government is
going to be operated in such a way
as to force safety first

Ford Suits" and "Jitney Shirts"
How comfortable your people
look" is comment one hears every
day from visitors to Washington.
The national capital has become ia
nous for many things, including its
magnificent public buildings, it's
handsome residences, it's wealth of
shade trees and plants, it's select So
ciety of intelligent men and women,
its shore line skirting the Potomac
river, its unexce!led speedway and
drives-to say nothing of the per-
formances of it's political sets. Wash
ington is also justly celebrated on ac-
count of it's hot summers, and
although the weather man has been
particularly considerate in the dis
tribution of comfortable breezes dur
ing 1915, it has gradually percolated
through the official and semi-official
minds of the inhabitants that the city
has all the vaporous smells of the
tropics and is in the competitive class
with Yuma and San Antonio.
All great national questions are
brought to Washington to be settled,
and congress not being in session, the
people who have remained at the seat
of government have turned to the
matter of their personal comfort and
have solved the question of what to
wear by adopting Palm Beach and
other light colored garments. 1t has
