The virile Americanism of
Theodore Roosevelt should be
contagious. There are those
who scof and deride his militant
spirit, but none there are who
can successfully dispute his earn
estness of purpose. While we
are not a worshiper at the shrine
of Rooseveltism, his record for
twenty years shows he is a man
of deeds and magnetic influence.
America needs more men like
him.

Qualified Voters.


and define the rights Of women
whose husbands pay the tax on
community property. We have
a letter from County Attorney
Larson, enclosing a legal opinion
given him by Acknowledgement
Jones saying that a woman was
not entitled to vote for highway
bonds when the taxes on COM
munity property was paid by the
husband, but she could vote for
school bonds because the law ex-
plicitly says she can vote if her
husband pays the tax on commu-
nifty property.
1t i'll becomes a common lay
man to take issue with such
learned legal mind as the Attor-
ney-General of Arizona, but to
our mind the opinion is so crude,
so at variance with ordinary COM
mon sense as to be almost ridlc-
ulous. Prior to the adoption of
the amendment giving universal
suffrage to women, her right to
vote was limited to school affairs
only, the qualifications required
to be a legal voter for school
bonds being one who paid a state
or county tax, and for the pur-
pose of giving a woman her full
rights of suffrage the legislative
act defined community property
to include both the husband and
wife, and entitled both to vote
where the taxes were paid in the
name of the husband.
The law providing for voting
highway bonds was passed prior
to 1912, and the reason no spe-
cific mention was made to COM
munity property was because a
woman had no right of franchise
as a basic right, and could not
vote on any general bond propo-
sition even if she owned and was
paying tax on thousands of dol
lars worth of property. But on
the adoption of the amendment
establishing universal suffrage
this condition was changed and
the women had the basic rights
| of franchise and could vote at
any bond election if they could
qualify as a property tax payer.
1t would indeed be a strange
anomoly for the courts to hold
that a woman is legal voter at
a school bond election if her hus-
band pays taxes on community
property, thus bringing her un-
der the qualification of being a
property tax payer, and vitually
defining the meaning and appli-
cation of community property;
and then to hold, under the new
condition comforting universal
suffrage on women by the act of
1912, where they have all the
qualifications of a legal voter,
that her husband paying taxes
on community property gives her
no rights as a property tax pay
er to vote on highway bonds,
which would be in effect dia-
metrical definition Of the rights
of women arising out of commu-
nifty property interests. 1t is
such contradiction of ordinary
common sense that we are sure
no court in the land would give
such a construction to the law.
Community property as defined
in the school law was for the pur-
pose of giving to women every
right conferred on her husband,
even though he was paying the
taxes in his own name; and with
universal suffrage the same de-
.fnition will apply. Law is the
application of the principles of
common sense, which seems to
be woefully lacking in the At
'torney-Generals office at pres
ent. 1t is time the question was
put up to the courts for final de-

BEAUTIFYING COLUMBIA

Now that the grass begins to come
out on the front lawns, everybody gets
the fever for yard cleaning and bus
les himself with a lawn rake and
spade. The coming of spring would
hardly seem natural if it were not for
the rubbish fires in every street and
alley and the gardener setting out
new rosebushes and bulbs.
Judging from present indications,
Columbia is pretty sure to have its
share of wellkept lawns, as it usually
does. However, Columbia meets the
same difficulty that most small cities
have to contend with. The better
kept homes are interspersed with
poorly improved lots and shabby
yards. Although most of the homes
are as beautiful as they can be made,
the effect of the whole is somewhat
ragged. In larger cities, every dwell
er and property owner in the best
residence districts must do his part in
keeping up the appearance of the sec
tion. Such a practice might we'll be
used in Columbia.
United effort could be used to an
advantage also in cleaning out rub
bish piles and scrap heaps that often
spoil the effect of pretty homes by
lying just across the street.

OUR DUTY TO FOREIGNERS

Burning in the heart of every for
eigner in the United States is some
love for the land that gave him birth.
The German-Americans are the most
numerous of our foreign-born inhabi-
tnats. We, as native Americans, have
a duty to perform toward them. The
duty is to show friendship for these
whose hearts will be wrung by a
war with Germany.
The Illinois Stats Zeitung, Ger
man newspaper, says it is the duty
of Americans ito pardon with kindly
forbearance the unguarded, but other
wise unintentionally unfortunate, re-
marks that German-American might
be guilty of; to help erase the fear
among German-Americans that spies
surround them, ever ready to misin-
terpret innocent acts or words; to
aid in increasing the love for, and at
tachment to, the United States on the
part of citizens of German birth, and
to assist, as far as possible, to bring
back peace and contentment to the
German American element"
This plea of the Zeitung is
an American plea, because it
is for the good of America
American citizens who can feel any
proper realization of the choice that
may soon face their fellow citizens
of German blood must act in accord
ance with this plea of the Zeitung. 1t
is unfortunate that the Government
must intervene to perform an office
which the good sense of the people
should have performed. By words,
words smacking with the spirit of
American democracy, the German may
be made to turn his thoughts from
the Fatherland to the land of his adop- |
tion-America.

making Columbia a city that will earn
this title.
1t is only a matter of few hours
work and little expense. If you will
plant vines and build trellises in
your back yard and equip it with a
well-kept garden, it will add to the
beauty of your home instead of de-
tracing therefrom.

LIGHT SYSTEM
 AND FISH DOCK
 ACTION DELAYED
Council Postpones Vital Questions for Another Week; New Sites Are
 Proposed.

No action was taken at the coun Gil meeting last night regarding the lighting question, nor on the con tract with the Treadwell Company which had been signed by Mayor Val entine, acting under authority grant ed at special meeting of the coun ciI.
 J Hellenthal. attorney for the Treadwell Company appeared ant stated that he had been informed that the council wished to ratify the action and presented a resolution tC that effect for them to pass. The council voted to lay the matter ov CT for one week to allow further time to investigate.
 MT Hellenthal said that he did not think any further action was nee essary to make the contract legal but that he wished some action ta ken. The Treadwell Company does not wish to be put in the position of being used as club to hold over the heads of the present light com pany." he said
 We have no quarrel with the light company. We were asked by mem bers of the Merchants Protective As sociation to present proposition and we did 50. The council voted tc accept it and we merely want tc know if the council will stand by its word. We can sell our power in other places and. while the contract with the city is binding on the city we are not going to sue the city if they do not stand by it.
 Investigation Time Passed
 If the council wanted to investi gate they should have taken the time before accepting the prQposi tion at all. Now we. want to know whether the word of this council is good or not If they do not want to take further action. we want them to pass resolution to the effect that we are free to withdraw at any time before other action is taken. That will leave us free to act with other parties as we see fit. We don't want any one-sided contract"
 J. H. King and Gunnar Blomgren stated on behalf of the council that it was not their desire to use the Treadwell Company's offer as club over anybody's head but that the councilmen merely wished time to make little investigation of costs and not jump into the thing without knowing what they were doing.
 Councilman King moved that a committee of three be appointed to hire competent man to make plans and estimate the cost of distribut- ing system, hut he was declared out

First Fatality in 97OO Bouts.

One of the few fatalities ever re corded in the Australian ring oc- cured last month when a youngster named Syd. Loranie, boxing in the bantamweight class with the anna teurs, collapsed and died after re- ceiving a blow on the head. He did not revive and died a few min utes after falling to the floor It developed at the post-mortem that the unfortunate lad had an unus- ually thin skull and in striking the floor caused a rupture of a blood vessel. It might be said that this is the first fatality out of 970C contests in the three big Australian boxing centers.

Harnden Fails To Win Crowd.

MlltOn f1arnQen, lHe WOTlu champion light weight wrestler, failed to wrest the welterweight championship from Walter Miller of St. Paul, in their match at Bell ingham recently. The two men went for two hours without either getting a fall and the match was given to Miller on points. Dr. Les lie Clough, of Multnomah Club, of Portland, acted as referee.
 The two wrestlers weighed: Harn den, 140R and Miller 144A When they went on the mat Miller looked far bigger than Harnden and from the beginning to the finish he was the aggressor. The toe hold was barred at the beginning of the match, both wrestlers agreeing to submit the question of it's use to the spectators, who promptly shout ed their disapproval
 Miller repeatedly obtained dan gerous holds on his lighter oppon- ent, but Harnden always managed to slide out. Harnden also ob- tained number of holds on Miller but he never seemed to have the weight or strength to put his shoulders on the mat Miller used his head hold many times in get ting Harnden off his feet. At the end of the two hours of wrestling the two men were on their feet trying for holds. Both appeared strong, Harnden, if anything, be- ing stronger than at the end of the first hour In the last fifteen minutes of wrestling Miller showed wonderful speed and kept Harnden busy avoiding a fall

 Fish Question Up The street committee of the city council last night reported unfavor' ably against the purchase of the Mann property for $1O,0O0 for the purpose of building fishing boat floats and the matter was again given to the committee for further inyestiga. tion.
 The committee reported that the property. which it was proposed to purchase was 203 feet on the water front with a depth of 90 feet, which would allow for the building of one float, but left no room for ware. house space. The committee also reported that it would be necessary to spend $9.100 the first year. which outlay for the property which would be secured to the city. Henry Shattuck was present and offered the city piece adjoining that already offered, that would give the city the necessary storage space and on Franklin street for an additional $2,500
 The council seemed disposed to make the additional purchase and in ;tructed the committee to investigate further and report at the next meet ing.
