THE HONOR LIST OF COWS.

Some mighty good scores were shown by cows
owned toy members Of the Thurston County Cow
Testing association in the frs, month production
test a. publ i>lrd in this newspaper last week. and
these. scores have served to awaken local dairy
ru,,ll t. detail, connected with tine producing end
uf their business ia which they had not previously
given proper attention. That. Of course. is just
what the Contrasting association is for and il
apparently j, accomplishing for IFS members what
II is designed to DO The result is greater interest
among them in It's work now than when it was
first started month ago, when they We're still
little skeptical as to whether it would really do
them any good or not.
But there's something worth thinking about in
that honor list of sXty-sjX COWS that produced
forty pounds or more Of butertat last month,
something worth thinking about when you
member that there are more than five hundred
cows receiving the Association test. One is com
PEELED to wonder and inquire what the other four
hundred and forty or more cows are dong to pay
for the feed they eating and the care they are
receivng-to wonder how many OF them are really
producing any profit for their owners. There's
the point for the owners to determine, and when
it is worked out, the dairy business in this county
will be on a much better basis, among the mem
bers of the Association at least.
When the plan for organizing such an Associa
ton was first proposed, we were told that it would
single out the ''boarders'' in herd and show it's
owner the COWS that were making money for him
and the cows that eating more than they
were producing The first month test has been
an eye-opener-the results the second month will
be awaited with much interest.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

The precedent set by the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany has been followed by the associated railways
of the country, and in this week issue publish
the first of two advertisements setting forth the
railroads side of the controversy with certain
classes of their workmen upon which the latter
are now taking strike vote.
Every resident of the country is directly and
personally interested in this situation, for trans
portation chiefly because of its distributing and
marketing features, concerns each one of us, and
any interruption of it, such nationwide strike
would cause, would injure each one Of us far more
than we may realize off-hand. Therefore the
associated railways have used excellent judgment
in putting their directly before the people of
the country in the form of these advertisements
for popular opinion after all, will have the great
est influence in determining whether there is to
be strike or not.
The alternate propositions proposed by the rail-
roads and rejected by the labor leaders seem to us
eminently fair. If the interstate commerce COM
mission has the authority, it should be the proper
tribunal for the adjustment of such dispute and
likewise tribunal disposed to be entirely just to
both sides involved. The union leaders, it seems
to us, seriously prejudice their case before the
final court-the court of public opinon-when
they reject such proposal, for the pubic is IN
10 mood now to cOuntenance high-handed tactics
from one party or the other that may be involved
in such controversy.
If there are substantial merits in the claims of
the workmen, we see no why they should
not gladly and quickly accept the interstate com
merce commission as mediator: but if their claims
are based on bluff and buster and the only argu-
ment for them is that they think they can force
the railroads into position where the latter will
have to grant their requests, then we can very

BLACK, CASS AND LISTER.

Two weeks have elapsed now since the publ
cation Of the letter which Judge W. ". Black
undoubtedly hoped and expected would kill off
Governor Lister as the Democratic candidate and
would provoke a general demand for him through
out the state as the Moses lead the party in the
state electon--two weeks in which sufficient time
has elapsed to be able to Judge whatever effect
the letter may have had DR.. Cass of Vancouver
was of course merely Judge Blacks stalking
horse, an unwilling vehicle upon which the Ever
EFT urist doubtless hoped to ride to victory at the
September primaries Judge Black was boosting
his own game, not DR.. Cass' and so in the
ton that has followed, Judge Black is the
greater sufferer.
The demand for his candidacy which the Everett
Democrat evidently expected has not materlalized,
but in its stead has come surging flow of criti-
cism from all parts of the state if the reports
reaching Olympia true, criticism which has
served practically to eliminate Judge Black as a
formidable contender for the Democratic nOmina-
ton for governor. He hurt his own case instead
of helping it, by letting himself be used by Repub-
lican politicians smoother than he, as the means
of launching against Lister the line of attack they
propose to make on him. And by giving credence
to some of the ridiculous statements he made in
his letter. he not only exhibited his own animosity
the desire for vengeance he has carried around
with him for the last four years-but he revealed
himself to his party members in his true dimen-
sions. as the kind of man willing to throw SLAM
derous mud on the other fellow in the hope that it
will rebound to his own political advancement.
And the natural result is that the party workers
generally have been frank in telling him what
they thought about it, and in letting it be known
generally that they propose to support Lister for
denomination.
We shall not go into details of Judge Blacks
letter or DR.. Cass' embellishments thereon. Gov
ernor Lister will do that when the times comes
and he will do it in such way that there will be
no installing the situation All we desire to say
at this time is that this newspaper after the expe
rences Of four years ago and two years ago, has
no use whatever for one Judge w. W. Black and
will be pleased to see him permanently retired
from the political arena.
Furthermore, if Judge Black should happen to
get the Democratic nomination for governor, The
Washington Standard will not support him in the
fall campaign, for he has qualifications what
ever for the position.

WILSON AND MEXICO.

Not daunted IN the least by the indications JnaC
the Republicans propose to attack his Mexican
policy and make it one of the chief issues in the
presidential campaign, President Wilson has &C
cepted the challenge and launched forth already
the declaration that he is willing to stake his pot-
zeal fortunes on that issue and Of continuing his
policy of avoiding war with that country, so long
as he can honorably do so. This he made the chief
point of his address to a gathering OF newspaper
men in New York City the other day, declaring
then he cared not what the verdict would be No
vember Z, so long as he was confident that his
policy would stand and win the approval of later
years.
His policy as matter of fact, has been much
misunderstood, much derided by an opposition
press, and much maligned AS clear and concise
and independent editorial exposition of it as we
have seen appeared in recent issue of the Chris
tan Science Monitor, which, commenting that
president Wilson did not permit himself to be
rushed into war with Mexico" three years ago,
goes on to say:
'He was determined that he would not be forced
into it, if by any means honorable to the nation he
could prevent it. In the carrying out of his pur
pose he has been compelled to face great deal Of
unjust and ungenerous criticism. He has had to
patient But he has held firm. He could not be
moved even by stimulated popular emotion to take
the step which he felt must be avoided until every
hope had faded.
''The stage was set for the special purpose of
influencing the chief executive. There were
otion-picture campaigns to warlike
sentiment among the people; there were prepared
ness professions; there was much waving of the
national flag, much playing Of national airs
Everything that could be invented to turn the
nation from it's natural and intense dislike of mill
tarism and all that goes with it, was brought into
play, and these were reinforced by raids on the
border and by outrages in the interior of Mexico;
but he stood his ground.
And then it adds:
Because the national guard has been mob-
lied it is assumed by the bellicose press that
Woodrow Wilson has abandoned his peace policy,
that he has reversed himself with regard to
Mexico that he is now about to plunge the nation
into with its southern neghbor. We do not
believe it, because we cannot believe that Presi-
dent Wilson misunderstands the temper Of the
thinking people of the United States We cannot
believe that he could be brought, by any pressure,
to look upon war with Mexico as an undertaking
worthy of the country"
The president, himself, still holds firm to the
resolve not to embroil this nation in war with
Mexico, and in spite of all the alarming and con-
iectural reports that from the border
and then, tending to indicate that war is imminent,
peace still prevails between the two nations, Pres
ident Wilson and the Carranza government daily
approach closer accord, and the situation becomes
more stable every day.
The president is not waiting for attacks On his
Mexican poicy--he is actively championing it.

"TITANIC" WHEAT

The department has recently been
advised by a correspondent in Cali
fornia that variety of wheat is be-
ing advertised under the name "Ti-
tanic''. The assertion is made that
it is new variety Of wheat dis
covered in England about four years
ago, and that small quantity of
seed was brought to the United States
by one of the survivors of the ILL
fated Titanic. The wheat is repre-
sented as having extremely high yield
ing power, the returns reaching as
high as 7,O0O-fold. A photograph
sent by this correspondent shows a
head Identical in appearance with 1the
widely exploited ALASKA" wheat. Five
acres of the wheat are said TO he
growing in the State Of Washington
and the seed, it is believed. will be
offered at high prices a:.er harvest.
The department has no further or
more definite information concerning
this variety, but farmers and dealers
arc cautiored to be on their guard
concerning this new exploitation.

FILTH MEANS FLIES

Flies love to feast on filth and then
get into the house and wipe their feet
on your cake or baby's bottle. Screen
your house.
1t is tr:e they are natures scaven-
gers, but they spread filth and dis
case in doing their work, and, be-
sides, it is better to be your own
scavenger by keeping clean than to
have the flies do it for you, for not
only is the fly a dangerous compan-
ion, but clean people are beginning
to suspect that those who have flies
about them are dirty housekeepers
If therefore you wish to bear re-
putation for cleanliness in your neigh
borhood be sure that your trash and
manure heaps are frequently remov-
ed and that your house is properly
screened.
