priations should run from "A prospective twenty
billion dollars this year to fifty billions next year
But DO the figures for this year equal twenty
billion dollars including loans to allies? What
reason can the senator have for even suggesting
more than double that next years posi-
hiGtv? Is he or is congress staggered by the
eight billion dollars that they cannot guess within
two three times that where the govern
ment stands to costs of a few months
ahead?
This is an admission of extraordinary and in
excusable confusion. Figures running wild in
congress, and congress tries to itself by
saying that it is the department estimates that
running wild. 1t is no excuse. Those esti-
mates always have run wild, but where they used
to run wild in millions it is now in billions
President Taft made an effort to have congress
institute budget system Of co-ordinated and
unified department estimates. He failed. Presi-
dent Wilson tried and congress again baked.
Instead of public admission of confusion and
guesswork in billions, is it not about time for
members like Mr.. Martin to demand instant &C
ton on budget system which shall coordinate
the estimates as they come to congress and unity
their treatment in congress?

CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS

Though he has passed Thurston county by and
none of his clan has appeared here, the conscien-
tious objector, right or wrong the designa-
ton may be, has stirred up some little disturb
ance in other sections of the country To be
serious about it, those who ask exemption from
military service on the ground of conscientious
objections" to warfare are raising difficult prob
lem for Uncle Sam. The government wants to be
fair to them, but they make it almost impossible
to work out any fair solution.
They object to fighting, because they dsap-
prove of force as means of settling controver
sizes. The government thereupon suggests that
they enter the national service not fighters, but
as handlers of army supplies back of the lines.
But they object to that. The government then
suggests that they engage in the work of mercy,
as hospital assistants, and they will have none of
that.
The war department, in final effort to meet
them on common ground, asks them to 60 to the
war zone to perform the last and most sacred
rites of civilized humanity the burial of the dead
If there is any branch of war service that should
be acceptable to sincere Christian pacifst, it
should be that. But the conscientious objectors
refuse sections work.
The conclusion is inevitable that most Of these
approximations gentlemen are not conscen-
tious at allthat they re too cowardly to fight,
too lazy to work, or too callous to heed the call
Of suffering and dying humanity, or too selfish
to play their due part in great necessary ma
tional enterprise of which they joint benef-
ciaries'with everybody else. If they really
conscientious they would be filed with shame at
the thought Of making their neighbors and fell
lows fight, toll, suffer and die for their benefit.
As President Suzzallo of the University of
Washington said the other day, '.The conscien-
tious objector is often a coward who is translat-
ing his cowardice into intellectual language

WHY WE ARE AT WAR

Germany has forced America, as it has forced
practically the entire world, to defend itself by
arms. We are fighting this war because Germany
made war upon us. We are essentially a peaceful
nation; we have no lust for conquest, no desire
for annexation of territory; we defending
ourselves against Germany because the Imperial
German government entered upon a program
which meant che destruction of all American in
stitutions.
When we finally recognized that Germany was
waging war upon us we had seen more than 225
Americans, among them many women and chill
dren, killed by German submarines, hospital
ships sunk and unfortifed towns bombed and
bombarded. Medals had been struck in honor Of
the sinking Of the Lusitania. German officials
had treated the United States, neutral nation,
- an enemy. Strikes were organized in this
country, plants were blown up, pro-German pub
liOations were founded and subsidized, and hatred
Of America was systematically sought to be in
euleated among our foreign-born inhabitants.
Every effort was made to involve US in trouble
With Japan and Mexico Our repeated protests
were met with promises and explanations which
we're little better than insults.
The Imperial German government finally pro-
claimed the unrestricted destruction Of neutral
sAips upon the high seas. It was the notification
to the United States that our people were no
longer sovereign, and that if they would sail the
seaa il safety we must conform to conditions laid
down By government that defed international
law, humanity, and elemental morality.
81 "A policy Of terrorism has been systematically
applied By the Imperial German government
since the outbreak Of the European war. Treat
ies that stood in the way of German militaristic
plans have been disregarded, women and children
have been treated with Undesirable brutality,
the nohlest works Of art have been destroyed,
prisoners have been abused and maltreated and
civilian populations massacred and deported.
This is why America has gone into this war in
defense Of American honor and American rights.
To have done anything else would have been to
surrender orr sovereignty, and we would have
been forced in the end to fight conscienceless
and rapacious military autocracy--an autocracy
which Is in this war avowedy for indemnities, ag-
grandiSement, and the control Of the world, an
autocracy which former Ambassador Gerard de-
clares boastfully asserted, 1--WE will make Amer
lea pay for this war" Our success means that
our children and our children's children will be
able to enjoy peace.
Buy Liberty Bond get behind the govern
ment, and shorten this war. This is our fight.
Our men are giving their lives; we are only asked
to lend our money. There should be at least one
Liberty Bond in every home. There is no better
test Of our Americanism.

RUNNING WILD WITH FIGURES

Congress passed an -billion-dolla urgent
deficiency bill for the army and navy the other
day That is staggering amount of money, an
unrealizable amount to most of us. As much the
largest amount ever carried by legislative ap-
preparation bill in this or any other country it is
calculated to do lot of staggering here and
abroad, and, in due time especially in Germany
But the immediate effects conferred particularly
upon the majority senate leader, Mr. Martin of
Virginia, who expressed concern lest war appro-

OUR PURPOSES

The purposes of the United States in this
war are known to the whole world, to every
people to whom the truth has been permitted
to come. We seek no material advantage of
any kind. We believe that the intolerable
wrongs done in this war by the furious and
brutal power of the Imperial German Govern
ment ought to be repaired, but not at the ex-
pense of the sovereignty Of any people-rather
a vindication of the sovereignty both of those
that are weak and those that are strong.
Peace must be based upon justice
and fairness and the common rights of man.

Employees of the local shipyards have rejected
the opportunities of their Seattle brethren and
have decided to stand pat on the agreement they
made last summer. That is the way to do bust

that these union men followed that course, as un-
doubtedly it will be mighty good thing for
them.

the possibility of peace on high moral grounds
the National Liberal party of Germany, which

formally announces that there can be no peace
without indemnities. As it was Prussian lust for

war, we may be sure it will not end until that ap-

GOV. Philip SEEKS
APPOiNT|VE POWER
Believes Best interests of State
Demand Naming Husting's
Successor.
WOULD SELECT STRONG MAN
No Time for a Partisan Election, and
State bought Not to Be Put to
the Cost of Special
Election.

Madison.-The position of Gov E. L.
Phillip on the senatorial situation arts
ing from the sudden death of United
States Senator Paul O. Husting was
revealed in a statement which he has
just issued.
Governor Philip reiterated his state
ment that he would not be a candi-
date.
Must Stand by Wilson.
He said the man who succeeds Sen
atOr Husting must stand with the ma
tiOnal government and that he will not
consider a partisan politician.
"InsOmuch as the term of service of
the new senator, in any event, will be
less than a year, the people may save
the cost in money and avoid the tur-
moil and bitterness that would be in
jected into such an election at this
time If the legislature will authorize
the governor to fill this temporary
place by appointment" says Philips
statement.
II propose to call a special session
of the legislature in the near future
for such legislation as is necessary to
meet the war emergencies, and l shall
include recommendation in the call
asking for authority to fill the va
cancy that exists now in the office of
United States senator by appointment.
Wants Best Man for Job.
"In order to forestall the argument
that will be made that I have some
political advantage in mind, either for
myself or some friend, l will say that
If it is my privilege to make an ap-
pointment I shall select the strongest
man in the state whom I can induce
to take the office He will be man
who will stand with the national gov
eminent in our present crisis and not
a rank partisan politician.
Not Candidate Himself.
personal friends have expressed
the wish and political enemies have
expressed the fear, that I might be a
candidate in case an election were
held, or as has been suggested by
few nervous politicians, that [ might
by legerdemain place myself in the Of
flee If the place is filled by appoint
ment In reply to all such statements
I wish to say that I am not candi-
date for the office of United States
senator and do not wish the position
for myself. The people elected me
governor of this state and propose to
serve out the term for which they
elected me- Furthermore, it is my
Judgment that I may render the peo-
pie a service during the balance of
my term that they need, and the priv
ilege of which I do not wish to foregO,"
the governor concluded.
