~ OV. ERNEST LISTER OF Washing
VI ton. titular head of the democratic
party OF this state. has come out for non
partisanship in state and county cleo
tons
In this connection. it is interesting to
note that the Seattle Post-Intelligeneer.
a republican organ. is also editorially
committed in behalf of statewide non
partisanship.
The following editorial. published
March Is. 1913. is one of several favoring
ronpartisanship. which appeared in the
P.-I.:
"The welter and turmoil which marked
the proceedings OF the present legisla-
ture only emphasize the retarding influ-
cnce of partisan politics in the internal
affairs OF the state.
Whatever partisans may say, there can
be no question but that party advantage
entered into all the conflicts in the legis-
lature itself and in the Legislative differ
ences with the executive No party can
plead innocence of the charge. Any dii-
ference in guilt is simply one OF degree.
made so by limited opportunity.
Nobody believes that the absence OF
party politics will result in 4 legislature
that will be unanimous on all occasions.
Difference of opinions will always exist.
But under a nonpartisan legislature.
legislators will differ as 10 the merits
OF the point at issue. instead OF aligning
themselves by reason of mutual concur
renee or opposition to the tariff. our-
.cncy reform. or some other question
with which they have nothing TO do.
"The legislator will have 10 depend on
himself and be judged according TO his
deeds and not by the prevailing senti-
ment in regard 10 national affairs.
"The present legislature has not made
a brilliant record. chiefly because repub-
lean. democrat and progressive was each
in his own way seeking for party adj
,antages. Putting the other fellow in
the hole is likely TO be an expensive OPP
Grafton which the state at large must
stand. and this exercise has occupied not
little of the costly energies OF our law
making body this year.
There is no more occasion for parti-
sanshp in Olympia. with the exception
OF the governor, than there Is for party
politics in the city hall in Seattle.
The legislative session now drawing
TO close has shown what burdensome
thing party politics Is. and how little il
contributes to our progress and welfare.
THE TIME HAS COME TO ABOL-
ISH THIS ANACHRONISM, AND
THE SOONER 1T IS DONE THE
BETTER FOR ALL CONCERNED"

Poindexter and Humphrey

RI, HE ARMY AND NAVY REGIS
i TER tells strikingly. In its cur
rent issue. the difference between SEN
Poindexter and Congressman Humphrey,
who will be candidate this fall against
Poindexter for the latter's seat in the
senate.
In an editorial the Register says:
There was nothing edifyng and moth
ing productive of practical results in the
testimony rendered 10 the house naval
committee on Monday morning. sufii-
GENTLY recorded elsewhere in this issue.
"The attack which was made upon
Rear Admiral Benson because he ex-
pressed himself freely and frankly con
corning San Francisco bay as site for
a new naval repair and shipbuilding sta
ton in preference TO Puget sound was
as unseemly as IL was unnecessary
"Sen. Poindexter OF Washington was
more discreet and sagaeious in his re-
marks than Rep. Humphrey OF that state.
in dealing with Rear Admiral Benson's
testimony OF the preceding week
"The former took the ground that II
there were 20 be enlarged naval repair
and building facilities on the west coast.
il were better. quicker. and less expen-
sive 10 develop TO the limit the existing
facilities at Bremerton than TO establish
a brand new navy yard in San Francisco
bay
This attitude was altogether dignified
and was couespondingly impressive.
while Mr.. Humphreys tactics. on the
other hand, led him into indiseretions OF
speech.
HE pictured himself az occupying
role of critic. in which he imagined him
self unfamiliar. and stated that for the
first time in his career he i'und himself
defending Puget sound: whereas. Mr.
Humphrey is consistently in the attitude
OF defending that naval station while he
is habitually. by temperament and by
choice. a critic. and as legislative as
sailant has never been able TO get very
far from personalities in his public re-
marks.
"He lived up to his record in ,hi,
respect in attempting 10 discredit the
views OF Rear Admiral Benson. as will be
seen from the quotation OF his opinion
OF that officer.
THE fact that the chief OF naval opera
tons had expressed himself with candor
as we'll as oonservatively was not over
looked by the committee and the good inn
preston that Rear Admiral Benson made
was by no means diminished by any
thing that Mr.. Humphrey sough, to
achieve BY THE VIOLENCE OF HIS
CONTRADICTIONS"

BAND SELECTED BY
 MUSIC COMMITTEE
Memoli's Band Has Been Named as Official Musical Organization.
 Other Bands to Attend

Memolis band has been selected as the official musical organization for the re- union, and a dozen or more splendid bands will be brought here to aid the local musicians to thrill the veterans and the crowds with the martial airs which feature these annual gatherings. The band of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company the Auburn band, the Boys Industrial school band, the Shriners band, and organizations from Cullman, Docena and Blocton will be selected by the music committee.
 Negotiations are now on to secure the aid of a number of other bands within the state, and it is probable that band from the Alabama National Guard will be brought here. It is the purpose of the committee to give preference to state organizations though it is not improbable that some will come from without the state. There will be fife and drum corps as well as band made up of veterans alone, it is probable The music committee is keenly alert to the impor- tance of having plenty of martial music for the reunion, and there will be enough bands to give concerts at various points around the city at frequent intervals.
 Memolis band will consist of 30 or more pieces and will be under the direction of Phil Memoli. MT. Memon is one of the best known band leaderst in the south and his organization was the of ficial band for the Alabama State Fair last year.

MEXICAN SITUATION
 ARRESTS MARKET

New York, March 12.-The sudden turn of events in Mexico last week arrested the strength and activity which marked the early dealings of the week in the stock market. Wall street seemed at first to place a fa- vorable interpretation on Washing tons decision to send troops across the border, but on more sober reflec- tion adopted cautious attitude
 There also was a revival of anxiety in connection with the controversy. over submarine warfare because of the destruction of a neutral merchantmen carrying Americans. Investors saw in these successive developments addi- tional cause for abstention from the market, and the lack of this support was reflected in the lower trend or various high class issues ta
 Home conditions offered every req son for increasing confidence, business in general showing greater activity United States Steel's February state- ment revealing the largest amount of untitled business ever shown by that corporation, bore pertinently upon the earnings for the current quarter. Dec larations of various increased divi- dends by the large copper producers with similar disbursements to holders of allied issues, offered further proof of the stable conditions in that indus try.
 Reports of equipment companies were not up to the high standards earlier in the year but with few ex. captions were far more favorable than in 1914. The adverse statements Of the American Sugar and American To- bacco companies were due to special reasons rather than reduced demand
 Weakness of German exchange, which fell to the lowest rate ever re- ported here, gave rise to further spec- ulatlon regarding economic conditions within the German empire, but the latest statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany threw no light on that situation.

Reports That Rails Are to Be Advanced in Price
 May Be Factor

New York, March 12.-The railroads continued actively in the market for equipment last week, notwithstanding the high prices prevailing for steel products. Rumors that rails were to be advanced in price may have stimu- lated the demand for standard and heavy sections for delivery in 1917. There has been no change in the base price of rails since 1902 and today they are at lower level than any other rolled steel product. Orders for 130,O00 tons were taken by the rail mills, in- cluding 10000 tons for the Southern Pacific, 45,000 tons for the Louisville and Nashville, and 5000 additional for the Southern railway.
 The car shops booked orders for 3743 cars and other roads soon are to place large orders for cars. The locomo- tive builders reported contracts for 133 engines and negotiations con- tinued in 10S locomotives.
