ORGANIZING CONGRESS.

The extra session of congress--the congress
which will define the nations policy with refer
ence to the international situation and which may
declare that state of war has existed for some
time between the United States and Germany
convenes next Monday. In all probability its
sessions will be the most important, the most far
reaching in effect, of any since the Spansh-A Amer
lean war, perhaps of any since Civil war days.
1t therefore becomes most important that the
routine organization of the lower house be effect
ed with the least delay and the greatest harmony,
without wrangling and without an extended fight
between the new two leading parties, which hap
pen to be of equal membership Reports from
the national capital indicate that such a course
will be taken, the Republican floor leader having
withdrawn in favor of the Democrat, Champ
Clark, and the disposition on all sides appears
to be to give the administration full control of
the house machinery.
AS matter of fact, what difference does it
make whether Democrats or Republicans organize
the house of representatives, If the United
States is going to war with Germany in defense
of fundamental rights at sea, there ought to be
but one party in all this broad domain If there
must be two parties, let one be outspokenly Amer
lean and the other plainly German. On such
division, no matter what happens we will always
know where we stand. Any other political sepa-
ration can only lead to confusion and weakness.
It is our frank opinion that it would be far
better for the nation if the house of representa-
tives be controlled at once by Republicans who
are first of all Americans than if the house should
wrangle for weeks in a narrow partisan way over
an organization which, in the last analysis, must
after all be either American or German. Let us
notify the world right at the outset that, no mat
ter what policy be adopted we are first of all
Americans standing unitedy fot what we believe
to be American principles and fundamental
axioms of humanity. Let not squabble among
ourselves, in these momentous times for mere po-
litical preference.

+ WHAT OUR FATHERS READ ABOUT
5 N THIS PAPER FIFTY YEARS AGO

From The Washington Standard fOr
Saturday Morning, March 80,
1867. Vol. VII. No. Fl.
| John Browns cabin, occupied by
him when squatter, is to be sent to
the Paris exposition.
The company of United States citi-
zens who have purchased Lower Cal
ifornia from Juarez are about to take
possession of their little tract of
land" which contains only about
46,80O square miles. Among the
citizens who have largely invested in
this enterprise are General Butler,
August Belmont, Caleb Cushing, Ben
Holiday, George Wilkes, Leonard
Jerome and Robert c. Walker.
Considerable excitement exists in
Portland and other parts of Oregon
on account of two cases of smallpox
in that city. -
We received last week from Hon.
Isaac Newton, commissioner of the
agricultural department at Washing
ton, a circular requesting suitable
specimens of the cereal productions
of the territory" for exhibition at the
Worlds Fair to begin at Paris on the
LIST of April.
The creek which separates this
place from Swantown, we are in
formed, one day this week was liter
ally thronged with porgees that had
been entrapped by the sudden ebbing
of the tide. Some of our citizens
enjoyed rare sport spearing them
with pitchforks. Several wagon
loads we're captured.
We examined a few days ago the
new residence of Mr.. J. ]. Chapman,
adjoining the public square, which is
in process of completion. 1t will be
an elegant building and an orna-
ment to the town.
Rev. A. B. Earle, popular preach
err from the Atlantic states, is Great
ing a sensation in Portland.
In view of danger in crossing the
plains, New York dispatch says,
Hancock orders that all trains be or
ganized for defense by electing cap
tains and other officers and enrolling
teamsters and employees in the COM
pany. Trains for the Platte river
routes will rendezvous at Fort Riley,
none to enter the Indian country
with less than 80 wagons and 80
armed men.

THE sYNDICALIsM VETO.

That class of our population which can perhaps
best be described the ''standpat" and the
newspapers which represent it have seen fit to
criticize Governor Lister for his veto of the syn
dicalism bill passed by the last legislature with
the design of curbing and suppressing I. w.
W.-ism. 1t is one of the most natural things in
the world for them to do SO, of course that same
class of our population, dominating them perse-
cuted witches in colonial days
The veto Of the syndicalism bill appears proper
to us, not for the reason assigned by Governor
Lister, chiefly that present laws if properly en-
forced could control such situation, but because
the remedy for the conditions which that bill
sought to handle lies not in summary and high

FILES AT STATE LIBRARY.

After repeated offers to purchase the files of
this paper had been rejected, The Washington
Standard has during the past few days acceded
to the request Of the State Library for the GUS
tody of these records for historical purposes and
the volumes of this publication since it first ap-
peared November II, 1860, are now installed in
the vault of the State Library in the Temple of
Justice
We have done this gladly because we appre-
ciate highly the particular historical value at
taching to the files Of the oldest newspaper in
the state an historical value which will grow and
grow as the years pass on. We deemed the State
Library the proper repository too, not only for
the reason that the data and information con-
tanned in the files are of primary interest to the
state for the story that it tells of it's development
from pioneer days, but because too the files will
receive the most careful attention and protection
and will be available at all times to those who de-
sire to peruse them We were fortunate in being
in position where we could be of service to the
state, and in thus turning over to it's library this
collections collection we valued so highly that
we would not put price on tive have been
actuated by desire to place at the disposal of
all history that cannot be equalled.

WHAT or THE FUTURE?

President Wilson will tell congress, probably
next Tuesday, if the organization is completed
Monday, the situation in which the United States
hnds itself today in the international turmoil and
will present to it his views as to what he and his
advisers and cabinet believe should be the policy
OF the government in dealing with it. We shall
know, then, in only two or three days, what the
future holds forth for us.
Nobody knows but the president whether he
will recommend to congress declaration of war
against Germany a declaration by congress
that in view of German depredations upon Amer
lean commerce, German ruthlessness causing the
death of many Americans and Germany's contin-
ned fragrant violations" of solemn treaty obi
cations, state of war has actually existed for
some weeks. Advanced ''hunches" of observers
of the situation indicate that his recommends
lions will take the latter course particularly in
view of his oft-repeated declaration that, so far
as ne can control the situation, the United States
shall not be the aggressor in any conflict with
Germany.
Meanwhile the week has seen steady and sweep
ing preparations for any eventuality so that when
congress declares the national policy the govern
ment will be ready to act forthwith. After cling
ing during nearly three years of the world war
to the hope and desire that we would not be
dragged into it, the United States today is gather
ing its forces for a masterful effort This time
next week we should know what course that eff
fort will take.

CONDITIONS MOST PROSPEROUS.

How great an improvement has been made in
business conditions generally in this particular
section during the past few months was most
strikingly revealed in the announcement of the
county treasurer that ninety-one and half per
cent of the personal taxes due the fifteenth of this
month were paid and that sixty-two per cent of
the real estate tax was paid by property owners
desiring to take advantage of the three per cent
rebate available at that time This is the best
record ever made by the office, the county treas
urer adds, comment which emphasizes the story
the figures themselves tell
1t takes such facts and figures as these to dem
onstrate that general business conditions
throughout this section of the country are con-
sideraby better than most of us realize. But the
revival Of the logging and lumber business and
the coming of that new industry, wooden ship
building, are pushing this section forward again
to prosperity, and The months to come will see
a continued and constant revival and doubtless
many new activities.

Somebody who has had his eye on the food stu
alton in the United States processes to see pros

for the wholesaler and the commission merchant.
The latter will lay for the ultimate consumer.
