CAPABLE DIPLOMACY.

When Governor Lister got the representatives
Of the University of Washington and the State
College together last week in an agreement end
ing the fight that threatened to disrupt this legis
lature and to cause all manner of continual tur-
moil between these institutions, he achieved a
great diplomatic accomplishment which will be
of untold benefit to the state. The credit is
largly due him personally For several weeks the
leaders of the legislature and various prominent
men from all parts of the state had worked to
bring about an agreement and when failure
stared them in the face and the opposing factions
were farther apart than ever, the governor called
them into conference. Several hours deibera-
tons, guided by him, resulted in the agreement
which both the University and State College
authorities heartily approve.
The benefit to the state will be lasting. The
chickering's, the wrangling, the always threaten
ing conflict between the institutions have been
eliminated and each will be able now to forge
ahead with the confidence born of knowledge that
its best interests will be fostered and promoted
by the state, and without fear of the other The
energies Of both now will be directed to doing
those things they established to do, with every
effort expended in constructive work.

Olympia these days-our people are far more con-

growth, illustrated in our case by the two large

A PEOPLE OF ONE MIND.

No one knows what the new few weeks
alld months will mean to the United States and
whether or not we will be drawn into the tragic
world war but in the face of the foreboding pos
sibiities the remarkable unanimity with which
the American people have indorsed the action OF
the president in breaking off diplomatic relations
with Germany. is strikingly wonderful. Patient
negotiations, an earnest desire for peace, deter
mination not to be drawn into the conflict until
ell possible means to avoid it had been used,
guided this nations policy for the thirty long
months of the war to date and resulted, when the
final break came in reply to most insolent insult
and refusal to abide longer by the principles
for which this nation has always stood-ln the
the people of these United States, knowing their
president so well ardent lover Of peace
through his every act and word during those
thirty months being of one mind in supporting
him. in approving his course. They there

the United States could do was the comment Of
the German ambassador after he received his
passports, when with tears in his eyes he told
newspaper men, 81 don't care what becomes of
me now-my LIES work is ruined" During
those thirty months he, too, had strived to main
tain friendly relations between his country and
the United States, and, broad-guage man as he is,
he also saw "there was nothing else the United
States could do This is the overwhelming
sentiment of the American people, calm senti-
ment, devoid Of all jingoism, mixed with regret
that the nation across the seas compelled us to
act.
But united as they are in this sentiment, the
people Of the United States do not want war. As
whole-heartedly as they join in supporting the
presidents action in severing diplomatic rela-
tQps do they also indorse the further declaration
toward the close of his address:
We do not desire any hostile conflict
with the imperial German government. We
are the sincere friends Of the German people
and earnestly desire to remain at peace with
: Che government which speaks for them. We
shall not believe that they are hostile to us
unless and until we are obliged to believe it;

A WISE POLICY

The policy of the State College in
compromis Using on some of the points
involved in the contest with the Uni
yersity was a wise one. While the
fight in the legislature had been won
and enough votes were assured to
put through every proposition for
which the eastern Washington insti-
tuition was contending, such a course
OF action would have aroused bitter
animosties and have seriously
handicapped the friends of the col
lege in their other legislative work.
They were willing to go down the
line if necessary, but greatly appre-
ciated being relieved of that neces-
sity. The loyalty of old friends was
increased, the bitterness of old OPP
ponents diminished, and the hearty
goodwill of neutrals won by the fair
and liberal attitude of President
Holland in being willing to compro-
mise in the hour of victory.
The State College energies from
the contest stronger and more popu-
lar than ever before. While the sac
rifice of the right to give degrees in
architecture and forestry is an i'm
portant concession, it will be more
than made up by the appreciation of
the members of the legislature, and
the people of the state, earned by
granting the concession, and the far
reaching benefits resulting from an
amlcable settlement of the problem
MAD the fight gone through the
hhock-doWn and drag-out stage, it
would have been renewed two years
hence with increased bitterness. But
now, having accepted and ratified the
compromise, the University will be
IN no position to attack it's provisions
IN the future.
having demonstrated his ability
as fighter by routing the Uni
'erslty hosts, President Holland then
proved his wisdom as diplomat by
'ieldlng some of the fruits of the
victory, thereby removing the sting
oi the defeat and paving the way for
q tasting peace between the institu-

KEEP THE NOSE AND THROAT
CLEAN.

1t has been thoroughly demon
strated that several of our commune
cable diseases are transmitted by
excretions from nose and throat.
We know also that many OF these
diseases enter the system through
the nose and throat. 1t is there
fore, reasonable to believe that if
these two air passages are kept thor
oughly clean at all times that the
danger of infection will be proper
tionately lessened.
A few years ago the physician in
charge of one of our Indian reserya-
tions required the children in the
school to thoroughly cleanse their
noses, mouths and threats with a
simple antiseptic solution, known as
Thiersch's Solution. This is a very
inexpensive solution and is made in
the following manner:
Dissolve one-half teaspoonful
salicylic acid, three teaspoonfuls
boric acid in one quart of water.

started three or four children came

WORK FOR CLUB WOMEN.

immigration Commissioner Cam
innetti is planning to enlist the ser
vices OF the women's clubs in raising
the position of domestic labor to the
rightful dignity, with a view of soly-
ing the servant problem.
He is going to ask women to assist
him in fixing system which shall
make the position Of the domestic
servant one of dignity and respect.
He says he will ask the advice of
clubWomen and of housewives all
over the land before he attempts to
work out any definite plan of stand
ardiZing the various kinds of house
work. In other words he is going to
ask the women of the United States
to help him do the work which they
have neglected while taking up many
outside interests.
1t is like all the multiplicity of
clubs and societies to implant right
ideals in children while the home
influence has Waned until it has be-
come necessary to form societies to
look after the boys and girls whose
mothers are busy with their clubs.
The care of the home and the dig
nifty and sclf-respect of the domestic
worker belong to the woman of this
country to maintain. The fact that
many conyeniences and labor saving
devices have served to make the
work easier, does not excuse her from
her duty in this regard.
No servant can be expected to take
an interest and pleasure in doing the
work of a family when she see the
mother of the family holds that work
in contempt. No woman can expect
intelligent, willing workers if she sets
the example of referring to such work
as udgery-beneath her own dig
nifty. 1t is no longer necessary for
woman to toll hours and hours on
end every day to keep the average
household running smoothly, but it is
important that she hold her position
as the keeper of the keys of the home,
and remember that this is her most
noble duty.-Tacoma Ledger.
