man who possessed power as many a king, greater than many a feudal baron, and as one who exer- cised the right of control over the human lives of the masses in this democracy to an extent only par allelled under serfdom.
 But that is the literal fact, it is the fact above all others that IS most pregnant with instruction. Hill is in his grave. After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. The gold he amassed, the art treasures, the friends he made, the financial ambI- tious he fulfilled trouble him no more. But the centralized power that he gathered into his hands through the fortuitous circum- stances of his life, remains after him, a legacy full of menace to the people and full of danger to demo- cracy. And this, the evil that he did, will live after him, while whatso good he did will be inter- red with his bones.

To hide this real issue with the Sunday school fable that everyone can be a Hill, just as every American child is taught the impossible fallacy that it may one day be president is only to add to the evil It serves merely to CON ceal tie truth that it is an undesir- able condition that there should be any person who held the industrial power over the masses that the ownership and control of the Great Northern conferred upon James J. Hill There are many things that have served strikingly to reveal the extraordinary powers held by sucn man as Hill and through Hill the Great Northern railroad. But the state of Washington will recall the corruption of a Judge of the Sup reme Court and the machinations of Gordon in Spokane.
 These were perhaps no worse that prevailed in the State of Ca liforna where the Union Pacific un- occasionally controlled the dicta of the Supreme Court of that state for a number of years; corrupted the Sacramento legislature and made a subsidiary corporation or the government and courts of the state of California for the Union Pacific.
 May be like Warren Hastings. when Hill recalled the ease with which judges and legislatures were converted to his tools he would say By God, when I think of it my own moderation astonishes me-. And when one does fairly review the situation and the small extent to which Hill or the Great Northern did pervert the legislatures and the courts notwithstanding the willing ness of the courts and the legisla- ture to be perverted, his modera- tion is not so discreditable.
 Yet that moderation is hardly to be noted The entire beginning of the Great Northern has been identi- fled with law juggling and legisla- tive handling which would if ever written form a history in itself Men have been known in Seattle and in other cities, professional, politicians and lobbyists, as Jim Hills men. They were alike demo- crats and republicans, and no mat ter which party was in the ascend ant Jim Hills men of one persua- sion or another were sure to be there.
 This is a reflection of the trc- mendous economic power of the railroads. It is too much power whether abused or we'll used for any one man. The best autocrat, said a Russian writer, is bad em- peror The best captain of indus try because he has power that no man should hold over the lives of others, is bad example. That power which is possible of abuse and is abused, and indeed in the nature of things must be abused, is one that is associated always with private ownership and which is the most serious argument against any such thing.
 Jim Hill will be cited now tha. he is dead as showing what man can come to who strive with all his power to succeed. What he did others can do, and therefore it behoves everyone man who possessed a power as great to apply himself with the same energy and faithful service to the end that he too may be such as Hill.
 That kind of pap is based upon air castle mathematics which takes no stock of the fact that the per centage of Hills is GO small that for all purposes of calculation in the industrial scheme they are neglig- ible.
 Jim Hill will not be cited as a

oREEK pEMoalL. ATaoN.

Though the allies have not suc- ceeded in getting Greece to take sides
 with them and to throw it's army into the conhagration which has involved nearly all Europe. they have been able to bring about a demobilization of the Creek army, or large part of it, which thus makes their position at Saloniki more secure. Whatever sympathy King Constantine may have for the central powers he has been forced to refrain from manifesting it too openly His ties of lxinship have placed him in peculiar position and even led to the abandonment of the treaty with Servia which required his country to go to the assistance of his Hneighbor in case 1t was attacked He has even done his utmost to restrain the allies in the landing of forces on his shores, but his attitude has been in marked contrast to that of a large part of his people and some of the Greek leaders
 Greece has however been dependent to a larger extent upon Great Britain If 1t was going to make decision and participate actively in the war it would be obligated to side with the ai- lies. King Constantine even looks to. them in a large degree for support At the present time not little pres sure has been brought to bear upon that country by the shutting off of it's supplies and this pacific blockade has now resulted in the Greek demobili- zation. With the Greek army only partly mobilized the allies have over- come the uncertainty which surrounds it's activity Knowing that it is not with them. the fact that it is not ready for service means that it to a certain degree cannot be against them and it's neutrality is therefore of the kind which makes the position of the all lies in that quarter more favorable.

MiR. RoosEvELT.s puTY.

The action of Colonel Roosevelt in refusing to accept the nomination from tho progressive party may cause some surprise both in and out of that party butuitpis nevertheless a sensible stand and one which will cause general sat- isfaction if he persists in that atti- tude.
 No one has spoken loudly against, or criticised more harshly the demo- cratic administration that the ex-pres- ident. He understands as well as any one else that it was made possible by the split which he caused in the re- publican party four years ago, and it is as plain as daylight that the plac- ing of a third ticket in the field this year will bring about similar re- suits, which are what he has so ve- hemently deplored and as a conscien- tious American ought not to want to see repeated,
 Prom the republican convention, if not from the primaries and state con- ventiens previously held, it has been shown that the Roosevelt candidacy did not meet with favor, and to at- tempt 60 take away the support which can hp relied upon to go to MT Hughes would simply mean the placing of the advantage with President Wilson. As an exponent of Americanism, the up- building of the country and the rigid upholding of American rights, this is eonrae which he cannot afford to talee and which he ought never to consider taking Such would simply mean the undermining of what he declares to be his sincere regard for the nations welfare. MT. Roosevelt wanted the nomination from the re- publican convention. It has been clearly demonstrated that that is something which he couldsno get, but with a strong exponent of the princi- pies Tor which he has been working nominated for the presidency the one patriotic thing for him to do IS to keep outso& the field as a cand1- v .s-a---i-. -sa V

AUTO INDUSTRY HAS PRoFITED.

While the automobile industry was undergoing steady development in this country previous to the opening of the war, and a good sized export trade. had been established. the struggle in Europe has given it one of the biggest boosts that it has ever received. There were demands across the water by the belligerents for motor cars which the factories of that country could not supply and the result has been that S165,000,000 worth of machines, parts, tires and engines were exported dur ing the first 19 months of the war. It is true that some of this business was with neutral countries, which looked to the United States when others ceased to fill export orders, but four. ffths of this increase was destined to the belligerent nations. either for the purposes of war, or to fill the other needs which local industry could not take care of because of demands in other directions.
 This war more than any other has witnessed the greatest utilization of the automobile for all kinds of uses. Not only has it been used for com mercial purposes, the transportation of supplies and troops, in the ambu- lance service and for keeping the gen. erals in touch with their forces but the armored car has been extensively used, and the Russians in their pres ent drive against the Austrians attri- bute no small part of their success to the accomplishments made possible by these cars. General GaIlieni was aided materially in the defense of Paris by the automobiles which he re- quisitioned, and the one railroad line which the French have to Verdun has been able to cope with the situation solely through the assistance which the motor cars have rendered. The automobile is invaluable in war and this country can we'll understand the prosperity which has been stimulated by the orders which have been re- ceived and filled here since August 1914.

TIE REPUBLICAN, NOMINEE.

The nomination of Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes for the presidency by the national republican convention was action in accordance with the de- mands of the people, the needs of the party and the interests of the country. From the time that his name was first mentioned it was recognized that he was the man who could do more than aayS other to bring both factions of the party together. By the fact that he was on the supreme court bench he had avoided the taking of sides in the split of 1919 and he was therefore in position to do more than any other in bringing about a reunion, whtehs is of course necessary to in sures success next November.
 'rheS selection of MT. Hughes was forecasted by the second ballot. There was no serious doubt as to where he stood upon the important questions of the day. He was, however, pre- vented by his judicial position from making 9 declaration but the moment that the honor was conferredI upon him. and he was free by resignation fromsthe supreme bench to speak, he leftsn question whatever as to where heS stands.
 His position on Americanism is } sound and sane. It is for an Ameri- capism that knows no interior motive and with a brief sentence he clears up the hyphenated problem when he de- clares for patriotism single and com plste and the toleration of no division ofs allegiance. It is to the credit of the delegates that he was chosen without greater contest His selection ise an exceptionally good choice and such as the country and party require and there is little doubt but what he w1ll succeed in bringing about the hafmQTT in the divided republican ranks which will mean his election. The ticket is further strengthened by the selection of Charles W. Fairbanks as neRainee for vice president, thus making not only combination of the highesa1 degree of excellence, but one which cannot fail to appeal to the people.

DoN,T NEeLEcT THE FEET.

The moment the warmer weather sets in we begin to feel our feet! The long walks we engaged in through the winter and early spring are no longer indulged in. Our feet are hot, tender and swollen, the corn that all Il rough the winter we have not felt, has made its unYelcoine appearance again.
 The shoes :. at fitted so we'll tper- haps just a little to tight), today it IS agony to attempt to wear them, and what we ask ourselves is the Neglect! How many women are there, if called upon to do so could remove their stockings without a blush at the unkempt state of their feet? Nails nc glected, toes distorted out of all shape and hard skin under the foot, and oft on cracks and blemishes between ttle toes.
 Ese fee, .eus re constant aaf: reg ular attention. After thoroughly wash ing them at least once a day, rub the soles of the foot over with mehylated spirit, cold strong tea. or, if your purse allows is. eau de cologne, and dust them we'll with boric powder. This helps to keep the feet cool all day and preserves the stockings very much, especially if ones feet are in. ciined to perspire freely. When dry ing the foot be very careful to wipe well between each toe
 If you suffer from really bad corns go and have them properly out, after which you can keep them yourself in good condition.

WAsHINe PlNk- sILK LlNeERlE.

Pink has proven itself so much more durable than pale blue that the latter is now rarely seen among the shades of wash silks used for the more intimate garments in which my lady of luxury loves to clothe her. self. Even pink will fade after re- peated washings, by uns4dlful hands, ard it does not pay to trust expen- sive nighties and combinations to ir- reverent treatment by the family wash1ady unless one has money enough to replenish frequently.
 There is no reason, however, that one should not select pink silk. for under proper care it holds it's color ezceIently, and if it does not, the color may be restored by soaking a sheet of pink tissue paper in the water used for washing the pink ear- ments. The dye from the paper re- stores the delicate pink tint to tEle silk immediately, and the tissue paper Is so inexpensive that 1t is not a costly process.
 White silk undergarments, like the pink. should never be boiled, and pre- feraIbly should be washed separately from the rest of the wash Use cold water and a pure white soap, rinse also fin cold water and iron at once. With tiais treatment the silk will keen a snowy whiteness for long time, and even if it me1lows after long us- age. it wiIl.turn to a rich creamy white and not 10 the ugly yellow. shade aa-

WHITE SHADES.

Tlere is something particularly at tractive about window shades in white. In general effect the exterior of the house thus gives almost the appearance obtained by the use of white glass curtains without shades; an ideal condition that is not prac- tica'ble by everyone, more's the pity But white shades will help to give the same effect Inside the house, much the same thing may be said, with the addition of another joyful fact, namely, that white shaes inter fere less with the color schemes of various rooms. A green shade or a tan shade. used all over the house, is, quite frequently, a jarring color note in some of the rooms.
 As a rule, one can get used to a lighter room, for it cannot be denied that white shades do let in more light. But when a darker room is a necessity, and if inside draw curtains are not feasible, double faced shades may be used, having the white side turned toward the room, the coIored side toward the street.

fund was set apart for specific pur- pose and not to be drawn upon to pay floating indebtedness. In Auditor ties of the city for year ending May Is, 1916, he states old notes paid $34,- 500. I am at a loss to know from what source came this amount unless from an overestimate of receipts from temporary loans and the amount actually loaned. That is to say, if $90, 1000 was the estimate and only $60,- 900 borrowed, together with the in- creased receipts from gas, electricity and water, may possibly explain it. But why this $54,5 floating indebted ness, when the departments are sup posed to keep within their appropria- tions? I trust one or both members of the finance committee may be pres ent at the city meeting and throw some light on this style of fnancier- ing.

 Mir. Editor: In the estimated ex- penses of the city for the year ending May IT, 1917, as prepared by the democratic finance committee, there appears the following items, viz: Fi- nancial department special promissory note 5 per cent, dated Dec. 24 1912, $10, 900; ,promissory note 5 per cent. dated April 30. 1914, s10,00 Would it not have been good business to have presented this indebtedness to the taxpayers in the budgets of 1913-14 and 15 as temporary loans, and let them dispose of them as they saw fit :? On these notes we will have paid before any adjustment can be made, approximately $3,o00 in interest Now in their estimated receipts they say: From general sinking fund to pay notes of Dec. 24, 1912 and April 30, 1914. May I ask are they the ones to say how these notes are to be paid. I have always supposed the sinking

A LACE CURTAIN PROTECTION.

This cen De avy'teG by placing a small tack at earh side of the window and tying piece of white cord from one tack across to the other This will keep the curtains clean.
 When a person sits near the win dew he may be bothered by the cur tain blowing against him. Now, # another piece of string is placed ex- actly whera the first piece was, and the curtain is placed between the two, it will be kept there, and both difficulties will be solved.

FouLARD GOWNS.

The majority of foulard gowns con- sist of a mixture of this fabric with another plain material, such as durable weave of chiffon cloth or silk Voile.
 The woman who has become wearied of chiffon because it has been made into thousands of expen- Sive gowns this season, may prefer the voile- This cloth of dliffon has not gone out of fashion, by any means; it is still used for the most ex- pensive summer gowns. but voile is newer.
 It does not seem to be possible to have foulard gown without a touch of organdy: the continued reign of this fabric is astonishing the dress makers, and 1t shows no sign of de- crease. It is not only used for col lar and cuffs, but in combination with all kinds of silks in the afternoon and even in evening gowns. It is con- sidered the very smart thing to be added to taffeta frocks for the street.
 An especially good black taffeta gown has the entire top part Of tue bodice and the sleeves made of white crgandy, with a small bow of black taffeta in front of the collar and a wristlet of the same holding in the full white sleeves. There are two bands of organdy going around fife figure, introduced into the black skirt

TO REPAIR SCREENS

The neatest way to mend screen is to cut piece of wire netting about three inches larger than the hole. Re- move the wires around the edge of the patch for half an inch or more, like drawing away the threads from a piece of linen Bend the resulting prongs at right angles and fit the patch in place with the wire ends sticking through the screen. Press the patch flat against the larger sur face; then on the other side press the ends back to their original position. This secures the patch.
