JUST A HINT.

The moving picture operator Of Seattle vaude-
vile theater threw the screen the other night
some pictures of the latest dreadnaught added to
the United States navy-instantly the crowd that
packed the big auditorium applauded Came then
more pictures of the vessel each drawing it's meas
ure of hand-clapping, and then views of
President Wilson, and the crowds applause was
heightened. Finally the orchestra struck up the
national anthem pictures of the president and the
flag were shown. and instantly everybody in the
theater was on his feet and the auditorium rang
with cheers.
This little incident demonstrates that the Amer

TALK TO YOUR LEGISLATORS.

The biennial legislative sessions are so familiar
to those of us who live in and around Olympia
that each becomes more or less a common place
affair and we pay but little attention to it. too
little for our good. Situated as we are we
should avail ourselves. individually and collect
lively, of our most excellent opportunity tell its
members and particularly our own representa-
tives what we believe they should do any and
all of the leading questions that come before them
for decision Not that we should organize lobby
or poster them to death in other ways-we would
defeat our purpose by making ourselves obnoxious
but that in quiet sort Of way should let
them know what we think about pending legisla-
ton, so that they will be able to form their own
opinion as to what the people want.
eve wait breathlessy for our representatives
to do what we believe to be the right thing says
an interested subscriber yet how can they rep
resent the people unless thy know what the people
want?" And the writer of that communication is
exactly right. She believes the people should
make their views known "by personal calls, let
tiers or in any way most convenient and she
certainly is right.
+. Talk to your legislators write to them-let
them know in some way your views on legislative
issues, SO that they will know what should be
done. You have the best opportunity of any
people in the state to form and guide legislative
enactments-you should not neglect it.

GETTING AT THE HEART OF IT.

When he instructed the federal trade commits
sion and the department Of agriculture the other
day to begin Immediately an investigation OF the
cause Of advancing food prices in this country,
President Wilson, with directness that is charac-
teristic of him and at the same time unique among
the expressed views on the question Of the aver
age public man, brushed aside all extraneous
phases and struck at the heart Of the problem
the question of distribution.
1T is obvious, he said, in his letter of instruc
tions to the governmental departments, ''that
there will be no sufficient incentive to enlarge pro-
duction if there does not exist an unobstructed
and economical system of distribution. Unjusti-
fable fluctuations in prices not merely demon
alizing; they inevitably deter adequate produc-
ton
From the investigation which the president SO
strongly urges, and from the study given the
problem in the various state legislatures it is to
be hoped there will come some tangible result
which will at least relieve the situation if it will
not reform it entirely.
The question is concretely before the present
Washington legislature, put forth in number Of
different proposals. all centering about the estab-
ishment Of q state marketing bureau of one kind

set of steam ploughing apparatus, in
charge of overseers, which is capable
of ploughing over an acre an hour
to a depth of IL inches. The cost is
less by considerable than by horse
and hand labor.
The New York legislature has
passed joint resolution instructing
the delegates in congress to advocate
the act granting national aid to the
Northern Pacific railroad connecting
Lake Superior to Puget Sound.
1t is stated in well-informed circles
at Washington that the president rec
ognizes it as the obligation of his
oath to submit to trial of impeach-
ment, but that he will resist suspen-
courts.

CONFIDENCE IN WILSON.

Everybody in the United States is watching
anxiously and patiently the developments in our
relations with Germany, hopeful that war can be
avoided and yet determined to uphold the honor
and integrity and rights Of the nation against
ruthless attack. Belief that participation in the
European struggle can be avoided honorably is
growing, established in q surprisingly firm conf
dence in President Wilson and his ability to guide
the policies Of the nation that by act Of its
own will it be forced into the great conflict.
SO it is that the words spoken by Secretary Of
State Lansing the other day at a banquet at the
national capital are particularly appropriate
-R with the same patience, the same for
bearance the same elaboration and care with
which he has met the previous difficulties in
our foreign affairs, the president will meet
the present crisis The nation can trust him
to act justly and honorably and fearlessly,
whatever may lie before us. In his hands the
destiny of the United States is sure-the ma
tional honor is safe.''
This appears to be the opinion of the people
,generally-it is the comment heard on all Sides
The American people are not worrying, are not
greatly stirred up, are NOT excited-they have put
their faith whole-heartedly in the nations chief
executive, confident Of his ability to lead them
safely through the crisis and yet ready to answer
his call if he is finally compelled to make it, know
ing that before he takes such he will have
exhausted every opportunity to preserve peace
that it will be the only thing left for the United
States to do

ARE WE so MODERN?

We of this modern day have prided ourselves on
our facilities of communication and the inter-
change of news within few short hours not only
between different sections of one country but be-
tween the different nations Of the world. We have
believed and frequently stated that this rapid
means of transmitting information precluded the
likelihood of serious misunderstanding again
arising, but there's mighty fine opportunity for
much thought and study when read, particu-
larly in this time when conditions demand the best
possible understanding of daily events, that Ger
many is holding Americans as hostages because of
alarming reports as to the treatment OF German
sailors and German ships in United States harbors,
and that both the imperial chancellor and the for
eign secretary believe America wants
Certainly Germany, from its actions of this
week, has demonstrated that it has received many
and various alarming reports as to the attitude
and conduct of the United States or else is acting
insanely. The former, undoubtedly, is the true
diagnosis. Its frantic efforts for the eafirmation
of treaties more than hundred and twenty-five
years old, it's admitted delay Of Ambassador
Gerard's departure, its re-imprisonment of Amer
lean sailors it had previously released, the state
ments of it's prominent officials, all indicate that
it has very mistaken idea Of what has transpired
in this country since diplomatic relations were
broken off.
1t is most regrettable situation well as a
dangerous one-false, lurid reports might lead to
some action by Germany that would plunge the
United States into the world war against its own
desires and efforts Such a development is not a
mere possibility, it is a very strong probability
unless the United States, through official chan
nels can satisfy the German government that there
is no basis whatever for any of these misleading
reports.
Meanwhile S think again about our boosted
modern methods of transmitting information

came because officials recently had been assured

indeed, in view Of the virtual unanimty with
which citizens of German descent in all parts Of
the United States have pledged their support to
