BONDS ARE KILLED
 BY SEATTLE VOTERS

SEATTLE. March 1.-The cleo ton yesterday for the choice of three city counclimen to serve three year terms resulted in victory for Robert B. Hesketh, Warren D. Lane and Oli- yer T. Erickson. All the bond pro- posals, including those for a muni- cipal market, belt line railroad to be constructed and operated by tho port commission, arterial highways and a bridge, were defeated by large majorities. The three men elected to the council favored the market and belt line bonds, and the three men beaten opposed the bonds. Heskcth and Erickson are members of the present council Hesketh, is widely known as a labor union leader, and Erickson as an allocate of municipal ownership and the single tax on land values. Lane ran as municipal ownership candidate. c. Allen Dale, a member of the present council and opposed to municipal ownership, fin ished in last place, behind Byron Phelps and William M. Calhoun. who were fourth and fifth in the race.

appears to have done effective work; and we need have no fear that the elaborate intelligence systems of tho
 European nations, of which much O.
 favorable nature has been said ana written since the war broke out, arc superior to or more resourceful than cur own. In fact, the American se- cret service department is credited with being one of the most efficient in the world because of it's splendid nr- ganization and the ingenuity that comes to it as an American trait.
 Some times their work is a li:;'c raw and crude as in the case Of bre h. ing into von Igle's desk and secll in , his private correspondence. aid the robbery of tine German consul's rooms in Mexico, but it is effective in the main. and that counts as much as any one feature of secret service.
 The timely discovery of the Ger man proposal to Mexico may nave prevented the evolution of a well lad scheme in Mexico, though there is little likelihood that the Japanese end of the plot would have. materialized. By being forewarned as to our south ern neighbor we are forearmed. and we may expect to see slump in the German propaganda below the Rio Grande.
 But just how the plot was disco"- cred and by whom. and who translat- ed the untranslatable cipher will Ie- main one of those mysteries in the same class as why the government chose Anchorage for the railroad ter minal, or why it is apple blossom time in Normandy.

LEAK" ON GERMAN PLOT.

 Where was the "leak," and how did the American secret service oper atives carry out their plans for get ting a copy-presumably photograph ic-of the secret German instructions from the foreign secretary at Berlin to the German minister at Mexico City? If one loves mystery and is facile at deductions and in effecting pro cesses of elimination, the opportuni- ties for solving the great Associated Press mystery are unlimited; and probably one solution will be as good as another, for the details of the dis covery will never become known 10 an agonized public.
 It appears certain that the plot was "discovered' on American soil by the Associated Press, at the request of somebody. but who is the some body? Zimmerman himself profess ed ignorance and was profoundly talk en by surprise that the instructions were intercepted, particularly so be- cause they were written in code that is absolutely undecipherable. Ger many knows nothing of the leak; and is breathlessly waiting for some one to furnish the key to an explanation of the affair.

OUR KIND OF A MAN.


 By JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY. Copyright 1887, 1898, by James Whitcomb
 Rileyl "HE kind of a man for you and me!
 He faces the world unflinchingly
 And smites as long as the wrong
 With knuckled faith and force
 like fists. He lives the life he is preaching of And loves where most is the need of love; His voice is clear to the deaf mans ears, And his face sublime through the blind
 mans tears. The light shines out where the clouds
 were dim, And the widows prayer goes up for him; The latch is clicked at the hovel door And the sick man sees the sun once more, And out OCT the barren fields he sees Springing blossoms and waving trees. Feeling as only the dying may That Gods own servant has come that
 way,
 Smoothing the path as it still winds cn Through the golden gate where his loved
 have gone. The kind of man for me and you! However little of worth we do He credits full and abides in trust That time will teach us how more is just. He walks abroad and he meets all kinds Of querulous and uneasy minds. And, sylnpathizing he shares the pain Of the doubts that rack us, heart and
 brain,
 And, knowing this, as we grasp his hanj, We are surely coming to understand He looks on sin with pitying eyes Fen as the Lord, since Paradise. Else should we read, Though our sins
 should glow AS scarlet, they shall be white as snow? And, feeling still, with grief half glad, That the bad are as good as the good are
 bad.
 He strikes straight out for the right
 and he Is the kind of a man for you and me!
