Rainier or Tacoma

The controversy over the correct name of our H.
4O8 foot mountain has broken out anew in Seattle.
Charles T. ConOver, of the pioneers of the state
started the discussion again with letter in which he
proposed that "Tiswauk' be substituted for
Rainier. He brought forth several witnesses who
testified that this name was the historically cor
rect one.
Further in his article Mr.. Conover says:
us Tacoma as the name Of the mountain histOri-
oay correct? That is all there is to the matter and
that is all we want to know. Anything on earth to
end this hyphenated Rainier-Tacoma monstrosity.
Hyphens not in fashion and this one signifies to
the world only jealousy and is blot on the whole
Northwest
Now Sam Wall, the Tacoman who so ably has been
championing Tacoma and who urged that the
Course" of the present be lifted, comes out in
the Seattle P.-I with letter of rebuttal
He points out that ''this representative citizens
and his witnesses, in all their long discussion do not
refer to Rainier the historically correct
Nor do they manifest any interest in preference
for that name. In a word they have conceded that
point
Then he adds:
eff this does in fact state the attitude of the people
of Seattle believe it does-then it seems to me
that the controversy is at end and this hyphenat-
ed monstrosty that has stood between the people of
the two cities for a generation, embarrassing their
inter relationship and making them ridiculous before
the world may be done away with quickly and for
ever.
"Let us get rid of it, We are on common ground
now-we agree that our great mountain should not
be dedicated to the honor of the English admiral,
Rainier Let us submit the other question, then, to
the United States Geographic Board let us unite in
requesting that board to take down the name Rainier
for the reasons stated and to set up the name which
according to the nomenclature all agree should OBJ
tain in such CASEY they shall find from evidence to be
submitted Is the historically correct name. Let us
do that What do you say?"

Birth ContoL

Cynthia Grey's correspondents have been con-
Quoting redhot debate on the subject of birth
troll.
If you haven't been following it, we are sorry, for
the letters have been interesting literature
topic which is all too little discussed in print. They
have for the most part from mothers, Of both
big and little families and have touched on all mag
Unable angles of the subject
In giving space to these letters Cynthia Grey has
been bringing out ideas that the Birth Control
League of New York has been trying vanly to get
before its public.
AS means of doing it. the league recently can
vassed carefully selected list of 80 wellknown New
York woman who were mothers Of two more chill
dren All were selected for their liberal mindedness
as well as for meeting the other qualifications.
The idea to obtain from that list the signatures
of dozen representative women to the following
Statements:
l. We approved of Mrs Sanger's course in
publishing birth control articles.
2. We believe that such information should be
readily accessible.
8. We have impaired birth control informa-
ton.
4. We have practiced birth control.
Of the SO, only six women could be induced to sign
the first three articles and on three all four
of the articles
Such is the difficulty of obtaining testimony about
the private life even when it takes on vital public
significance.

Tribute

One of the finest little bouquets handed The Times
in a long while we found in a postscript of letter
from Prof. Walter L.. Davis, Of the c. p. S.. on the
subject of preparedness which was printed Saturday
in The Times.
After finishing what he had to say on national de
fense-and in the slang Of the day, it was ''mouth
ful''-he added:
Up. 81 wish to congratulate The Times on
the large amount of material its columns con-
stantly contain of an economical sociological and
political nature for the use of students This
material is especially rich along the line of the
labor problem, which may be rightly regarded as
the greatest social problem before the world to-
day, the problem of how to requite to the toiler
the lust reward of his toll"

Nonpartisanship

There never has been momentOus question in the
life OF this nation that decided a partisan
basis. That is why all logic and reason should well
come the bipartisan idea.
Today we have the great issue of preparedness 1t
is the most important before the American people.
1t is not question for republican Americans to de-
eide democratic Americans. 1t is an unhyphenat-
cd, nonpartisan issue which Americans, without
prefix or suffix, must declare themselves.
1t was the same on the slavery question.
The republican party platform which Abraham
lincoln was nominated and elected in 1860, DID NOT
declare for the abolition of slavery. That was accom-
plished as an incident Of the civil and nom
partisan act supported by the whole of the North
by republicans and democrats alike.
All great movements, all great principles, are not
subject to partisan limitations. Partsanship letters,
binds and gags.
Partisanship makes men lose their perspective and
causes them to sacrifice patriotism and love of
try for spoils and love of party power.
Partisanship makes for dirty politics. There is
not one city in the United States today that has
adopted the nonpartisan plan which would even con-
slider proposition to return to the old idea.
We have abolished partisanship in the election of
city officials in Tacoma Seattle, Spokane, and every
large city in this state

Likt all the Mongolian cities, Urga is a collection of huts and tents, which shelter the nomadic herdsmen who make up the great part of the population.
 Urga is three hundred miles south of the Trans-Siberian railway, and the machinery for the lighting plant will be transported there by means of the camels.

ARTIFICIAL HAND ID
 WORK LIKE HUMAN 0NE
Associated Pressl

MUNICH, June 8-One of the many remarkable artificial hands invented during the course of the war is one just perfected by a mechanic named Will who claims to have solved the problem of creating fingers which can be moved independently of one an- other and which will grasp an object as does the human hand
 The fingers of this artificial hand are made of slender pieces of steel, three to a finger, connected, and at tached by tiny hinges to the metal con- stituting the palm. By system of fine wires running to the elbow or the shoulder the fingers can, it is now claimed, be crooked to any desired de- gree so as to supply the power to grasp. A twist of the arm releases the grasp of the fingers on the objects they hold.
 Wills invention was made possible, it is declared, by the German Museum of Munich, one of the worlds famous technical institutions. Will conceived the idea of the hand and laid it be- fore the museum authorities, who then placed at his disposal the necessary means and assistance to perfect it.
 Now that it is completed the mu- scum has given the details to the larg- CT scientific magazines of Germany, and offers to equip free of cost any where shops or laboratories for manu- featuring the hand on large scale. The faith of the museum authorities in the invention is considered by many persons as proof of it's practicability.
