STATE OYSTERS TO Be
SOLD At g PER SACK
Product Of Reserve Beds Will Bring
Highest Price in History.

On May II and %, l.. H. Darwin,
state fish commissioner, will open the
Mud Bay and North Bay reserves for
the sale of seed oysters at So per
sack, the highest price the state has
ever received, according to an an
nouncement made to the Olympia
Oyster Growers association.
The cold weather last winter has
reduced the oyster crop generally by
so per cent and, in some cases, has
practically exterminated more ex-
posed beds. The state beds suffered
somewhat, but were saved the gen.
eral fate by diking Seed oysters
have been sold in former years for
25 cents per sack, even though the
price of oysters to consumers was
rapidly advancing.
In addition to the oysters actually
killed by frost, many are reported
now lingering in doubtful condition
from the chill sustained. A sick oys-
ter is a precarious prospect. 1t will
be impossible to transplant oysters
from the state reserve at Oakland
simply because they are too weak
this year to bear removal, it is stated.
Commissioner Darwin also an
uounced a proposal to dyke and i'm
prove beds on the Clifton reserve on
Hoods canal where the oysters suf-
fered less last winter than elsewhere
on the Sound. The association unan-
imously indorsed this proposition.
The state has more than 100 acres
of oyster land on the canal, but
means are available this year for the
improvement of about 10 only. The
work will be undertaken shortly, but
it can afford no relief this season.
Floods and unfavorable weather
have necessitated repair work at all
state hatcheries this spring that will
cost approximately $4,000. In spite
of this handicap 15S,000,000 young
salmon were produced last year and
the fish commission estimates that
not less than 200,000,000 will be
Matched in the fish year that began
April 1.

In no irreverent sensbility does
this position arise, but rather in the
righteous impulse which would re-
buke that which now profanes a full
quarter of the surface of Gods earth
dominated by those protesting, in
mere mockery, to be followers in the
footsteps of the Man of Peace, and
which has profaned every chapter of
the story of mankind's activities since
the earliest books of the Old Testa-
ment were daubed with blood, and
carnage and evil. With malicious
persistence it threatens the profana-
ton of every realm of the world, the
world that might instead we'll enough
comprise only modernized Gardens of
Eden, and every people, the children
of God whose first purpose and de-
termination should be to obey the
divine injunction to dwell together in
peace and concord.

STATE DEMOCRATS ENDORSE WILSON AND LISTER


of the national administration in pro-
viding for the development of Alaska
by the building of the railroad from
the coast to the interior coal field
and contrast this action with the pol
icy of former administrations, the in
tent of which was to retard this de-
velopment in the alleged interest Of
posterity.
Applying the tombstone of de-
mocracy, we denounce as spurious,
dangerous and looking
many enactments of the last Republic
can legislature, and particularly
those which seek to destroy the use
and defeat the purpose of the initia-
tive, referendum and recall laws:
also the commonly designated Whit
ney election bill, with it's perversion
of the direct primary and enthrone-
ment of partisan machines, under
test oaths. party registration and the
violation of the secret ballot.
1--WE indorse the courage and en-
ergy Of Governor Ernest Lister, who
has, in the face of malicious misrep-
resentation of partisan press, held
steadfastly to his program of con-
structive and efficient management
of the business of the commonwealth.
We believe the financial plan of the
Democratic state administration to
be sound and businesslike, and that
it has already resulted in the saving
of many thousands of dollars to the
taxpayers.
Eight-hOur Laws.
1--WE commend the splendid work
of the administration in applying the
eight-hour and minimum wage laws
and encouraging the adoption of safe
ty first measures for safeguarding
workers against avoidable accidents.
"Seventy-five per cent of the wom-
en- of our state employed in gainful
occupations are now assured living
wage, and their standard of living
has been correspondingly raised to q
point in accord with the American
ideals.
when, nearly four years ago,
Governor Lister assumed office, con-
ditions in the states institutions of
higher education were disorganized
and destructive competition between
the institutions had impaired their
usefulness. BY wise changes in the
personnel of the governing boards,
these institutions have been brought
to condition which has made them
the peer of any like institutions in
the United States. Education has
been given to much large number
of students without appreciable in
crease in cost. Friendly cooperation
has replaced bitter rivalries and has
laid the foundation for making them
one great unit for raising the stand
ard of Washington citizenship.
I'VE favor revision of the state
constitution, in order that the funda-
mental law of the state may conform
to present and future conditions"

men have also practiced thievery
lying, and adultery from the begin
ming; by this token then shall these
continue and be approved? Courage,
real courage, is never engendered by
war or the preparations for it, nor is
any other goodly purpose that can be
named. Any man can shoulder a
gun, or pull trigger, or drop a
bomb, but it takes real man, and it
is going to take real nation of real
men, to refuse to do any of these
things. War does not develop cour-
age in man. 1t develops a spurious
and destructive imitation of courage
It develops the bulldog, the hyena,
and the jackal in man. There is not
an atom or a germ of the real finer
bravery in the entire epidemic of
war. The heralded individual deeds
of valor are only the silly, bravado-
cial caprices of the hysterical and
blood crazed. The fruits Of war are
putrid. They are rotten before they
are. garnered. They are poisonous
even when seemingly gathered be-
times. AS the stencil of the blood
sodden and body-strewn battlefield
rises to high heaven in gruesome and
solemn protest against the wanton
dissertation and destruction, so does
the miasma of the moral decadence
of war, the war that is weak despite
it's pomp, and sneaking despite it's
noisomeness, cry out to every fibre
of real manhood, Gods manhood, to
rebuke the thing, and crush it,
strangle it, and destroy it-by ignor-
ing it and it's claims, by denying it's
inevitableness, by portraying it as it
institution, and no real or essential
part of existence at all.
All the time that we are spying
out the evils of the other fellow and
enlarging upon them in way to
madden him and send the silly shiv-
ers up and down our own spine, he
will be doing the same thing with US.
While we are waiting for him to be
good-he will 60 right on-waiting
for us to be good, for human nature
is very much the same the world
over. The first nation to absolutely
and effectively defend itself against
war will be that nation which first
comes to understand the real nature
and purpose of war and bravely
turns it's back upon it and upon all
its trappings, paraphernalia and
equipment. The first nation to find
itself resting in real security and es-
tablished peace will be that nation
which first learns to do that which
Is right and leaves the consequences
to infinite wisdom.

It requires the very essence of real
courage for u people to turn from

There is absolutely no argument,
no logic, no fact, circumstance or con-
dition which warrants approval of
the science and practice of that
wholesale murder, that slaughter,
bestiality and physical and moral de-
struction called war. 1t is lack of
reason rather than the exercise of it
which prompts war. That same alb
sence of reasoning from cause to eff
feet, from the comprehension of mo-
tive to the measure of ends, from the
act itself to inevitable penalty, that
want of reasoning which makes men
commit all the other individual and
social crimes in the calendar; that
lack of reasoning which every stu
dent of criminology finds to be the
dominating characteristic in the un-
fortunate; that lack of reasoning
which spells the costly failure to un-
derstand mans reality as the Image
and likeness" of God and the highest
expression of infinite wisdom, and
who should naturally demonstrate
the love, the life and the truth of the
Creator.

Where do we find justification for
killing? Where does German real
ly find any justification for killing an
Englishman? Where does an Italian
really find any justification for kill
ing an Austrian? Where would any
of these find justification for killing
an American? Or where would an
American find any justification for
killing an Italian, or German, or an
Englishman, or anybody else? No
such justification can be found be-
cause it does not exist. Where can
any man or group of men find justifi-
cation for deliberately setting about
the slaughter. of any other man or
group of men? To this searching
query there are no answers, and
there remain now but two excuses of
the long list that once obtained,
namely, the maintenance of national
honor" and the imagined devilish ag-
gressiveness that someone else is
going to be guilty of. So-called ma
tional honor, in it's relation to war,
has been proven, since time immemo-
rial, to be nothing but strutting, ma
tional vanity, selfishness and aggran-
dizement. AS to the rest of 1t, these
words are addressed to no particular
race or class, or nation. Let us re-
member that to the other fellow we
are, each of us in turn, the other fell
low. II each rivets his gaze upon the
selfishness and the alleged evil pur-
pose of the other, each will see moth
ing but selfshness and evil purpose.
So long as, each sees the dragon of
war lurking in the corner of imagi-
nation, war will seem to be there,
and we will undoubtedly suffer from
its consequences. So long as we re-
tain any relish for the panoply, the
authority, the vainglory and the red
feathers of war, we will inevitably
suffer the penalties that go with the
Indulgence. It is true that some may
suffer or seem to suffer without APP
parently being dominated by the war
idea, but the truth is that in their
hearts they yet feel to rely upon guns
and forts and ornaments with which
to accomplish good; they have not
really learned that the sure cure for
war is brotherly love Worldwide
that the only certain preclusion of
war emanates from disavowal Of
all reliance upon or belief in the eff
cacy Of a vast evil to achieve any
good whatsoever.
