Spokesman has been unable to have
railroad officials confirm this rumor,
information indicates that daily SER
vice will be established in the hear
future.
II daily service is not established,
the railroad has been asked to
change the train days on account Of
the produce shipped out on Friday
arriving in Seattle too late for the
Saturday market. 1t is doubtful,
however, if this arrangement would
meet with the approval Of the people
generally, as the mail contracts are
so arranged now to give daily ser
vice, one day on the boat and one day
on the train and any change would
cause this to be disarranged.

The escape of Jack Gillies. con-
victed looter of the Industrial In
surance commission funds, from
the county Jail at Olympia, remains
mystery, so far as catching Gill
lies is concerned. although the es-
cape was no mystery, in fact it was
so simple that the Olympia and Sc
attic papers do not hesitate to hint
very broadly that officials in charge
of the flimsy Olympia Jail made
the escape easy. The Jail was left
with no one in charge all of the
night on which Gillies and another
prisoner got away, and they had
eight hours start before the escape
was discovered in the morning. A
modest reward of $3.50 for Gillies'
capture has been offered.

THE QUALITY OE PATRIOTISM.

Most anyone. If asked to define
patriotism, would say II was love Of
country which is correct. But it is
much more than that, or rather n
true love of country involves "A wider
range of duties and sentiments. II
is not hard to bc patriotic when an
enemy threatens To attack our ma
ton and the call is made for men
to take up arms in it's defense. The
patriotism that is genuine and worth
while is constant purpose, both in
war and peace, both in prosperity
us patriotism becomes only high
sounding word to juggle with, while
selfish pursuit of the elusive dollar
than upon the general welfare of
the whole people Grasping selfish
ness is often fatal to our highest inn
pulses, not because we mean to be
dsloyal, but because the whole bent
and purpose of our mind is en-
crossed with the question of what
there is in IT for us our forcfathers
sacrificed wealth. comfort, business
family ties and even life itself that
this great republic might be born.
The spirit of 20 calls on us to he
ready to do rs much, II needed We
are all more ready To do heroic
deeds than we are to live steadily
from day to day on patriotic prin-
Ciplos. There is a Elamor about Civ
ing up life for ones country that is
not present in the daily ploddnE of
ordinary life. The duty OF the Amer
lean citizen is an every day affair,
not something laid away for special
occasions.
But still our sentimental regard
for patriotism is SO great that we
are easily led to follow its imita-
ton. instead of the real thing The
flamboyant and noisy sentiment
which we call making the eagle
scream" is often fraud. an appeal
to the passions Of lowbrows, spoils-
men and Erafters. II is the weapon
of the dcmagoguc, deception with
which to hide his unpatriotic pur-
poses Then there is the naughty
brand, the kind that struts around

tories, or trying to, he is going to find
things very uncomfortable at home.
There is, of course, always the chance
that sooner or later he may find a
weak spot in the allied defense and
execute Il coup that will compel his
enemies to do something more than
sit tight and hold a line of trenches.
The Germans are resourceful and no
logic of events nor cunningness OF
strategy can insure that they will be
defeated until the fact is accomp-
lished They are a long ways from
being whipped yet, and as long as
they are able to fight there is always
a chance that they may come out vic
tors, inspite of the well-laid plans Of
the allies.

Back to the Main Track.
My Tulsa is wonderful city. 1t
has none of these new tangled city
commissions, or city managers, but is
run altogether on the old town meet
ing plan, as n few friends get to-
gether and decide what the policy
shall be until they change their minds.
True 1t has been unanimously agreed
to observe most of the city ordi-
nances, just for the sake of harmony,
but we live our own life and thank
God every once in a while for
freedom. If we forget this wise and
worthy exercise of the spirit, we are
thankful, anyhow. A few good friends
and the assurance of three good hots
a day, what more does any man need
to make him happy?
Especially when for just a trifling
cost people far and wide are breaking
their backs and tumbling all over one
another to provide service? My Tulsa
has newspaper all it's own, and this
takes more time and attention than
any OF the other necessities, because
although 1t consists of but single
column, few minutes every day are
required to edit it. Lots of folks seem
to like II and 1t is published every day
in the big Tulsa World. This shows
how important my Tulsa is.
Aside from the paper all other en-
terprises are delegated to others. There
is splendid jitney system kept up and
only costs about 20 cents day at
most. Servants have stores of ali de-
scriptions for our convenience, the
stock in some of them running into
many thousands of dollars, and IL
costs us but few dollars per year.
even though we wear stout sizes ali
through. My Tulsa has street rail-
road system, owned and operated by ,
more senses than one
ana they Keep It in very fair shape.
even If they did electrocute the con-
ductors. 1t costs but a trifle, say 20
cents a week to have all these ad-
vantages in my Tulsa.
