dent Wilson acts, he does not
rant; he builds, he does not blast-
er.
THE Mexican situation was in
herited by the democratic party
from the administration of Presi-
dent Taft. The president has
dealt with the Mexican situation
and his policy has been the same
as that of Abraham Lincoln I'M

Full Dinner Pals.
1.-The democratic party Is proud
of the achievements of Woodrow
Wilson. He has brought pros
perity and plenty to 10000, 600
Americans. He has given work
to every willing hand in the re-
public. Every toiler has the full
dinner pail-full to overlooking

WOMEN TO ASK
SPECIAL BUREAU
in LABOR DEPT.

have not had a square
DEAL from the men i'm
charge of the investigation of
women's problems in indus
try.
The first attempt to deal with
Industrial problems of women
was made in 1911, when a wom-
ans division within the bureau
of labor statistics was estab-
lished.
Miss Marie L. Obenauer was
in charge of this work. but the
mere men in charge of the bu-
reau found SO many other uses
for the funds of the bureau, the
women's division was almost
starved out.
Last year this division re-
ceived only four per cent of the
total appropriation of $4,000
for-the bureau of labor statistics.
notwithstanding this, the
division turned out 10 per
cent of the bulletins issued
by the bureau. Miss Oben-
auer resigned, and with her
the entire staff of special
agents employed in the wom-
ems division.
The women's organizations
backing the Casey-Jones bill con-
tend that as women in industry
constitute one-fifth of all persons
industrially employed, women
are entitled to more consider
alton from the federal govern
ment.
The bill carries an appropriation
of $4,000, or practically one-fifth
of the appropriation that now
goes to the bureau of labor statis-
tics.

of him.
He is going to bring his stout
coppers down to a uniform stand
ard of weight, and demand that
they put on an appearance of
metropolitan police.
Il realize that the police de-
partment is far below standard"
explained the commissioner to-
day.
And | have only begun on my
crusade to improve 1t. Tho
changes already made are simply
preliminaries to the big improve
ments that | contemplate. The
Tacoma police look like country
constables. They have gone along
in a rut for so many years that
they don't try to put up digni-
fled or metropolitan appearance.
There's going to be some
changes"
I OF course, there are some Of
ficers on the department, hut only
some, who already have brought
themselves up to the standard set
by the commissioner.
But the number of pounds OF
surplus avordupois that will bs
shed by Tacoma policemen In the
next year is frightful TO contem-
plate.
Petit is obtaining literature
from other departments, includ-
ing some of the European police
offices. and he lis preparing

Regular drills will be enforced.
Gymnastic exercises for the
purpose of reducing weight and
making the officers athletic, will
be inaugurated.
Officers will have TO be nat
ty, neat and dignified.

provement that he IL planning.

partment IL months hence.

Rehearsing in detail the legis-
lation activity of the party and
the diplomatic policies of Presi-
dent Wilson in the last four years,
James concluded by telling the
convention that patriotism in
this world crisis should rise above
politics and that all parties should
rejoice at an opportunity to pro-
claim him the whole-hearted and
happy choice of republic of
peaceful free men,"
Proud of Achievements.
1--WE undertook the reformation
of the tariff with open minds and
clean hands, unowed, unpledged
to any interest except the public
welfare and we are proud of our
achievement in writing into law
the present Simm ons
tariff BILL" said he.
Would our republican oppo-
nents repeal the present federal
reserve law that emancipated the
credit of a nation? We took the
money control out of the hands
of this oligarchy.
1--WE are all Americans, no mat
ter whence we come. We love
our country because it makes us
free. This freedom is as much
the right of the one who comes
here as the one who is born here.
We only ask in return loyalty,
valor and love; loyalty to the flag,
valor in its defense and a love of
our free institutions.
No Rant Nor Buster.
Safe defense and preparation
for it is near now as ever before.
We must not mistake dishonor
for peace, as we can not mistake
oppression for peace. Woodrow
Wilson and the democratic party
advocate an army big enough to
make aggressors think the second
time before they strike a blow.
THE president challenged the
seeming overwhelming opposition
of congress and of his own party
and in the name of self defense
and America first, he took his
cause to the country. The re-
Spouse was immediate and over
whelming in his support. Presi-

Over-heated Masons who left
today's sessions. hopping their
brows, thought the democratic

test day could be no more heated
than what they had just left.
Delegates to the 26th annual
communication of the Order OF
Eastern Star began flocking in.
Many had difficulty in locating
suitable hotel facilities.
1t is believed the attendance at
the opening session today will
outnumber the first Masonic gath
ering. One delegate estimated
the gathering at 500. Mrs. Leila
e. Richardson will keynote the
welcome spirit. Other grand Of
ficers of the order will make an

The women will be taken for
an automobile ride this afternoon
to the Masonic home at Puyallup.

A watch was presented to retiring
Grand Master Sebastian. The

Past Grand Master Henderson.
During the last session it was
thought to hold the next meeting
of the grand lodge in Seattle In
the new Masonic temple. A form

Falkenhayn Dismissed
Because He Wanted to
Change Method of War

London, September 9.-''According to re-
ports from Germany received at Berne,"
says dispatch to the Wireless Press.
THE dismissal Of General Erich Won
Falkenhayn as chief OF the German gen
eral STAFF, was due to his suggestion of a
complete change in Germany's war plans
which Emperor William Indignantly re-
jected
Predicting the complete downfall OF
Bulgaria as the result of conveying at
tacks from the north and south and in
the end consequent interruption of COM
munications with Turkey. General Won
Falkenhayn urged that the whole Balkan
campaign be abandoned. that the eastern
line be shortened and that the occupied
territory in France be evacuated.
THE general expressed the opinion that
the transformation of German strategy
into a purely defensive Campaign on a
shorter front would paralyze the entente
allies and make it impossible for them to
crush Austro-G German resistance unless
they fought with unlimited resources and
then not foF 10 years. Persistence IN The
present plan of campaign, he said. would
lead to disaster.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg de-
nounced this advice as childish, COVE rdly
and unworthy of the Germans. Emperor
William took Won Hindenburg's view and
dismissed Won Falkenhayn."
