FARMERS OPPOSED
CUNNING PROPOSAL
Whitman Grange Resents Attempt
by Seattle Organization to Re-
duce Efficiency of State
College by Indirect
Means


asleep; neither are they to be easily
fooled. Failing in their attempts
to reduce the efficiency and stand
ard of the state college by direct
means, the enemies of the eastern
Washington institution attempted,
by cunning, innocent appearing
end by indirect means. They sought
to enlist the farmers in their cause
by appealing to the interests of the
agricultural classes. But Whitman
Pomona No. saw the joker and act
ed accordingly. At the meeting OF
the Pomona held last Friday at
Evansville the following resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted and
forwarded to Olympia, where it was
used with good effect:
Whereas, We are informed that
an effort is being made to set aside
by legislation 25 per cent of the
State college funds for dem onstra-
tional and experimental work in ag
riculture, we, the Pomona grange
of Whitman county, portest emphat-
ically against such action and as
sert our confidence in the wisdom
and discretion of the president and
board of regents of the State College
for the proper expenditure of these
funds and the administration of the
affairs of the State College.
"F A. HODGES, Master,
JAMES EMERT, Secretary"
The effort in question was in the
form of resolution. adopted by the
Seattle Merchants Exchange, and
the acceptance of its provisions by
the joint appropriations committee
of the state house and senate would
result in great hardships to the
State College, whose officials have
always been liberal in their investi-
cations of the problems of the farm
err. 1t was in full as follows:
Whereas, the state of Washington
has unlimited possibilities in the
field of agricultural and horticultur-
al developme nt, and
Whereas, there is a great deal of
investigational work needed in this
state at the present time upon prob
lens connected with the physical de-
velopment of the state, and
Whereas, the appropriations from
state funds for the purpose of phys
ical research work and agricultural
investigation have been inadequate
for the amount of investigational
work necessary. and
Whereas, the appropriations from
state funds of this state have been
far below like appropriations made
from the state funds of neighboring
states. as compared and based upon
the assessed valuation of property
in these neighboring states, and
Whereas, funds should be avail
able for investigational work in con
nection with the problems of logged
on lands, dry land farming, soils.
dairying, wheat smut and numerous
other horticultural and agricultural
Investigations,
Therefor, be it resolved, that these
facts should be brought to the at
tention of the members of the Joint
appropriations committee of the SEN
ate and house of representatives of
the legislature of the state of Wash
ington, and
Be it further resolved. that they
be asked to apportion at least 25
per cent of the biennium appropria-
ton for the State College at Pull

Sir: Too much credit cannot be given TO

There was no doubt, either, in France, Of

Grace Suicide" in France

Medicine has been celebrating upon re-
port drawn up by Professor Charles Richet
on behalf of a special committee appointed
to inquire into the problem of depopulation
in France. No decision has as yet been

Bismarck's Unpublished Memoirs

from The Springfield Republican,
Publication of the third volume Of Bis
marcks memoirs is vigorously called for by
Conrad Haussmann, South German Reichs-
tag Deputy, in a frank and interesting ar
ticle in the Berlin "Tageblstt" AS is we'll
known. the manuscript is in the hands of
publisher as "a bequest to the German peo-
pie and Herr IIaussmann says that only a
word from the Kaiser's Chancellor to Prince
Otto Won Bismarck would be needed for its
release. IN view Of the revelations from the
Petrograd archives in regard TO the secret
diplomacy Of the Kaiser in 1906 ana 1906 he
believes that it is cxpedient for William II

ordinating plan which our government is
so strongly supporting?
We owe it TO our allies TO declare that
their enemies are our enemies. But we
owe il even more to our own interests.
We must do everything possible to protect
the troops we send across the Atlantic.
That is a matter of self-defence. The
government has been too slow In recog-
nizing the peril of the uninterned enemy
alien. German spies and agents abound
here. We had done very little up to a
day or two ago 10 interfere with their
freedom of action. Now we arc begin
ming to shut off their access to our water
fronts and military zones and to intern
them. Within six months, possibly an
uninterned male German will be rarity
in anv great centre of military prepare
tion.
But what childike faith we should
exhibit if we should intern all the adult
male Germans now at large and should
continue to grant the liberty of our ports
and war zones to Austrians and Hungar-
ians. who are Just as subject to orders
from Berlin as the Germans are and
lust as eager to bomb our ships and war
materials factories, to disclose to the
enemy sailing dates and preparations and
to conduct a general guerilla warfare
on our overseas communications!
In military matters the proper motto
is Thorough" No guerilla ought to be
allowed to operate in our rear merely
because some Congressman still cling to
the belief that it is practicable to carry
on war with Germany while remaining
nominally at peace with Germany's allies.
Many of those Congressman thought last
spring that we could meet the German
menace sufficiently by announcing a pol
lev of EARNED neutrality"
1t is time for Congress to put aside all
illusions as to the real status Of Ger
many's allies. They are our enemies.
They have long been our enemies. Let
us treat them as such, primarily as a
matter of self-protection, and secondarily
as a confirmation of our desire and pur-
pose to secure closer Allied cooperation
on the European front.

Race Prejudice and the War

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: That was a splendid editorial in to-
days Tribune. There is great need of big
drive for teaching Americans to see the folly
of their injustice to their fellow Americans
of color. And they are Americans, as the
history of the United States will show. Yes,
from the very beginning Their past treat
ment has taught every ignorant foreigner to
despise the colored people. To-day in New
York coored officer could not be served in
a first class restaurant, could not obtain
lodgings in first class hotel, could not
occupy an orchestra seat t tho Metropoli-
tan or any other first class theatre. All Off
GERS of the United States army are gentle
men. What does the United States navy
offer to the colored man? Nothing Yet in
past wars he has given his life and blood in
many naval battle.
In civil life il is the same. Let refined,
well dressed colored men or women try to
enter any Of the places ! have mentioned,
and notwithstanding tho law covering this
very case. there will be ways and means
found to prevent their enjoying the finer
things Of life that their education and money
should give them.
With the !. W. W. tho pacifsts, the So.
cialists all working for the colored mans
vote and support il is high time real Ameri-
cans woke up. The colorcd man may wake
first.
To-day there arc no truer. drawer Ameri-
cans than the colored race. Keep them so.

We know that we at war with Germany
because the President has told us so, and
VIC have contributed a few billion dollars %
orr surplus wealth and have sent. perhaps.
a half million men abroad 10 fight for
France and TO make democracy safe"
What we do not realize is that Germany IS
at war with US In spite of all the evidence
that makes it plain, do not seem TO know
that there are a million or more of men
right here in New York City who would not
hesitate to commit any imaginable atrocity
that may be required of them, individually
or collectively, by the government at Berlin.
Shall We wait till the Kaiser has bombardea
New York, as he has London, before We take
such measures of precaution as he would
take were Germany in such position as We
are? II is true that ne Is not ready 10 do
that, but does any one doubt that he is max
ing preparations, or that he will do t if the
time comes wnen he shall be ready
What measures, then. should we take :
That is much easier TO answer than II Is 10
say what we dare take. ! speak advisedy
when I say that the government at Washing
ton would probably not dare to do what
ought TO be done
In the first place, every man In the United
States who is open TO the suspicion Of being
German sympathizer should be put under
arrest to-day. The burden of proof should
lie on him 10 disprovc the charge, not on
the government to prove il. If the charge
should he proved, he should be treated ex-
actly as Germany treats traitors. If Z.
should not be proved and still not be dis
proved. he should be interned for the dura-
ton of the war, or, at the very least. he
should be deported
Does the government dare TO take such
steps, or must it wait? The day will come
when it will have to take them. J. II.
