carefully considered plea to the coun-
Gil to keep Empey on the committee
as absolutely indispensable to the
success of the project; the very state
ment by Cross that Kelsey, with
whom Empey had had bitter verbal
tilt but an hour before, joined in his
plea; the mayors passionate cry to
the audience as it filed out of the
chambers to remember that James
Empey had been one Of the most In
domitable fighters for the Wishkah
project since it's inception and that
he regarded no man on the council
as standing higher in integrity of pur-
pose;-all these things indicated that
the council is prepared once more
to pull together
Routine.
The council disposed of much rou-
tine before taking up the water pro-
ject. On Kelseys recommendation
the city attorney was instructed to
take up with the O..W. railway the
improvement of flood gates for the
sloughs in the west end, as building
of three big drainage bitches will ne
cessitate such improvement.
Resolution was adopted for the inn
provement of Hume from Washington
street to the railway tracks by a 20
foot asphalt roadway. Bids for paint
ing the Heron street and North Alb
erdeen bridges were received from
Smith & Anderson, for $685.; Leon
Buret, $495; E. G. Patterson, $425;
and Newstead & Roderick, $470. All
were referred to the street commit
tee and engineer a week. Bids were
received and referred, from the Olym-
pic Paving company and Hofley, Hegg
& company for paving West Second
from M to Washington, and for lay
ing concrete sidewalks on Terrace
avenue.
An agreement was submitted by
the city attorney between the city
and John R. Clark, under which the
city will repair the property, house
and lot of Clark, damaged in the b
street slides of last winter. The
agreement, stated Cross, was a sam
pie of what action the city probably
would take with all the damage suits
started by residents of that section,
aggregating some $4,000. AS such
it was referred to the street commit
tee a week.

PUssY.FooTING POLITICIAN

The Spokesman-Review, probably
the most able newspaper in the state,
had the following to say of the Chi
cago conventions while they were in
session last week:
Chairman George w. Perkins of the
Progressive national committee drove
to the heart of the Chicago situation
when he said that too many men there
are talking politics and patronage
1t is politics and patronage when it
ought to be patriotism and prepared
ness.
why can't we lift this thing up
out of the ruck?' asked Mr.. Perkins.
For the plain and simple reason that
Chicago is swarming with 'ruck' poll
ticians-with the old guard influences
that ditched the party four years ago,
and are now back in Chicago with
small hearts burning with petty re-
venge, and small minds bent on re-
constructing the old machine.
Chicago is overflowing with pussy
footing politicians working for large
field of 'pussy-footing' presidential
candidates. Their game is to frame
double entendre platform and put for
ward a platitudinous candidate in the
expectation Of catching in the party
dragnet next November a mixed run
of pacifists and patriots. They hope
to lure the hyphen vote away from

the other way. A sprinkling of bust.
ness men, swallowed in the immen-
sity of an assemblage of workingmen
that fairly choked the council cham
bers, listened to the proceedings. The
council felt the difference, naturally;
although this must be said: that not
one single councilman showed, by
word or action, that the temper of
his convictions had been cooled or
heated one whit by the silent or vo.
ciferous message that emenated from
that audience. Mayor Phillips put it
in a nut shell, when he declared his
conviction that his colleagues, those
with him or opposed, every last one
Of them were acting in good faith.
The arguments made by Mayor
Phillips and by Councilman Fraser
were pithy, and to the point. Vie.
land talked at more length, but went
bit too far afiield for his argu-
ments. And, II it may be said without
disparaging much excellent work hith-
erto done by Wieland, on Wednesday
night he returned to a soap box
style Of oratory that, whether judged
as an appeal to the passions of the
audience or to the reason Of his COL
leagues, must have dismally failed in
it's effect. Wieland in the past has
shown an ability to curb his propen.
sity to the soap box" mounting, so
that his relapse, which was apparent
Tuesday night as we'll as on Wednes-
day, is the more regrettable.
On the other side, plausible argu-
ments were made by every one of the
six who stood together. Each reiter-
ated his conviction that prediction
promises could be as we'll kept under
the contract as under the day labor
plan.
Unanimity In End
f., The present city council, before this
has shown capability to line up on
two pretty evenly divided sides of a
question, to fight tooth and nail for a
session or two, then, when the VIC
tory was won by either side, to pull
together as though there never had
been any differences of opinion. Ap-
parently they'll do it once more.
Scarcely had the smoke of battle
cleared, Wednesday night, when War
rem Egerer arose smilingly and mov-
ed that the adopting Of the resolu-
ton be made unanimous. That EN-
pegs was the sole dissenting vote
need not be treasured up against that
veteran and tireless worker to put
through the water system, any more
than his abrupt proffering of his resig-
nation from the right of way COM

tion that the resignation be not &C.

How serious 10 Kaiser WilheIm's do.
formity? Which arm 10 affected? Can
he, for instance, use knife and fork?
The kaiser's left arm Is considerably
shorter than the right arm. The actual
facts regarding the deformity are not
known. Poultney Bigelow, who was
the kaiser's playmate as child. writes:
LAS to the emperor's imperfect arm, it
is extraordinary that the life that has
largely left it should apparently have
been utilized in the strengthening Of
his right arm. AS fencer.. it was to
be expected that he should develop the
proficiency that characterized him at
Bonn, but it was little thought that he
would have the patience and energy
requisite to becoming an expert shot, a
good swimmer and capital oar. In
the saddle he manages to hold his reins
with his afflicted arm, in order to have
his sword arm free, and have many
times seen him ride across country
taking obstacles which some Of his
officers refused"
