The corrupt practices act prepared at the be-
hest of President Wilson to prevent the wholesale
buying of national elections as attempted in the
closing days of the last campaign, is now under
consideration in the senate Campaign condi-
tons and campaign methods certainly demand
the strongest reformation. This bill takes long
step forward in the right direction.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1917-01-05

Official returns show that President Wilson's
plurality of the popular vote is close to six hun
dred thousand. Except Ulysses S. Grant in 1872,
after the Greeley debacle, no president from the
foundation Of the Republic up to 1896 ever stood
elected by so great margin. Only the electoral
vote was close-what an irony on the popular
will if the electoral college had turned slightly
the other way!

The parcel post, in the opinion Of the market
ing expert Of the Washington State College, does
not offer in it's present stage Of development
opportunity for its widespread use for the mar
keting of farm products, unless the produce has
high value as compared with bulk. He does
think, however, that it offers farmers an oppor-
tunity to develop list of customers who want
fresh produce and will pay little more to get it.
His comment on the system is not surprising
nothing has yet been devised of superior attrac-
ton to the housewife than the time-honored GUS
tom of phoning to store or going to it and pick
ing out what she wants when she wants it.

uais VINO was not afraid to express
his thoughts and allowed Others the
same privilege. He believed that the
highest expediency was always right:
that the act that produced the great
est happiness was always a good act.
that enlightened self-interest was the
loftiest form of virtue, that utility
was the only test of the propriety of
an action, and that the progress of
the race was perennial, each genera
ton being wiser and better than the
generation preceding it.
He was an optimist. He believed
In the good time coming. His spirit
was OF the hopeful and upbuilding
Kind and yet, like many other good
men. he was not appreciated by his
ne1ghbors as he should have been.
I'm his loss, Olympia can mourn
one Of its leading citizens.

Scientific housecIeaning has been
as carefully worked out as scientific
warfare, but only the exceptional
woman understands its strategy.
Too many hOusekeepefs know no
more of up-to-date systems than the
common soldier in the trenches
knows of his generals plans.
One kind of housekeeping STRAIT
egist-if she has the price-fees to
Palm Beach or a matinee while her
home is being cleaned. She puts her
establishment in the hands of a
cleaning corporation. Her walls and
woodwork, rugs and pillows and dra-
peries, mattresses and bedding, attic
chests, Easements and cubby holes
are treated by a vacuum or steam
process, so thoroughly that only the
sneakiest invisible germ escapes be-
ing carried away in bag and Gre
mated.
Then other artists follow, adding
the latest decorative touch to give
that feeling Of newness without
which no kind of hOUseCIeaning is
quite satisfactory.
Domestic strategists of another
kind never clean house at all. These
are the real experts. According to
their science, a house must be kept
in perfect sanitary condition every
day in the year.
It never needs to be pulled apart
and put together again, except when
it is done over. The curtains seem
to remain forever fresh in such
home, and there is never a speck of
dust behind the piano.

habit oftener than by theory, and
one persistent habit of mind is that
man shall be reminded heavily of
hOUsecleaning just at a time when
his fancy so lightly turns to love.
But any actual relief from the an
nual spring agony is only for few
women. The many must move in
accordance with the accepted GUS
tom and do their own stretching and
reaching in the great cause of do
nestle sanitation. And as some
compensation for the ordeal, they
will emerge with better figures than
the Palm Beach refugees.
Like the LADY of leisure who
lounges through this hard season,
the woman who manages her own
vacuum cleaner and stepladder has
her own peculiarly suitable and styl-
ish costume simple and comfort
able combination of OveTalls and
shOrt-sleeved, IOw-neCked smOck or
loose waist.
But even when garbed in the COR
rect costume and mUnitiOned with
the requisite cleaning compounds,
vacuum cleaners, polishing mitts and
mOth-proof bags, a woman can still
make a fne mess of the job if she
turns her home inside out and up
side down.
It is not good sense to be a martyr
to hOUsecleaning, and no woman
need be if she will adopt three rules
laid down by domestic science teach
ers.
The first is to begin with the attic,
the last is to complete the job at the
outside cellar door, and the big rule
for every day is to~cIean one room at
a time.
This plan is adaptable to any size
and style Of house. It insUres the

The above declaration of American
labor's position in peace or in war was
agreed to at a conference of trade union
executives on March 12, at the A, F. of
L. Building, Washington.
There were present the executive
council of the A. F. of L. and 14s dele
gates named above, representing 10 ma
tional and international unions affiliated
to the A. f. of L.; the five A. F. of l..
departments and the following unaffil-
iates: Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, Order of Railway Conductors
of America, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen, Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the National
Window Glass Workers.
The conference was called by Presi-
dent Gompers, on approval by the execu-
tive council, that the trade union move
ment might voice its views on issues
now uppermost in the minds of all citi-
zens.
Prior to the conference the executive
council labored for two days and three
nights preparing what it believes repre-
sents organized labor's ideals, drafting
and redrafting it until every paragraph
was made to stand the acid test of frank
trade union assemblies.
How well the executive council per-
formed its work is shown by the fact
that the declaration stands, after hours
of discussion, just as it was presented to
the conference, without changed line,
sentiment word or comma.
THE way to avert war;" it is stated,
lis to establish constructive agencies for
justice in times of peace, and thus con-
troll for peace situations and forces that
might otherwise result in war"
These trade unionists, while abhorring
war, were not blinded by existing facts,
nor did they indulge in any illusions re-
garding the policy which property own
ers and exploiting employers employ in
time of peace or in war.
The conference unanimously declared
that while whole-hearted support will
be given our country in the event of
war, human welfare and human oppor-
tunities must not be subordinated in
any event.
Industrial justice is the right of those
living within our country" it is stated,
with this right there is associated obli-
CATION. In war time obligation takes
the form of service in defense of the re-
public against enemies.
1--WE recognize that this service may
be either military or industrial, both
equally essential for national defense.
We hold this to be incontrovertible that
the government which demands that
men and women give their labor power,
their bodies or their lives to its service,
should also demand the service, in the
interest of these human beings, of all
wealth and the products of human toll
property"
