Expresses His Regret
Over Auto Accident
RI the Editor of The Palladium.

To the Editor of The Palladium.
Dear Sir-Through the columns OF
your paper l want to express my sim
cere regret as to the automobile accl.
dent which resulted in the injury OF
Rosemary Jenkins While l feel that
l am in no way responsible for this
most regrettable accident, yet ! feel
that it is due the public that l make
some statement. I was running at
a moderate rate of speed and not at
a rapid rate as rumored. The little
eirl came running across the street
and ran directly in front of my ma
chine before could stop it. The wit
nesses who saw this accident, so far as
l know, all agree that it was not my
fault but was pure accident and IN
avoidable, and the prosecuting attor-
new has also investigated the matter
and finds that the above statement 1s
true. Sincerely yours,
RAYMOND JONES.

FINNISH REVOLT WAS
 KAISER'S DREAM

CHICAGO: Germany did what it could to bring about revolution in Finland years before the present worlds war, according to Professor Wm. H.

 "I recall Professor Euckert, pro- lessor of idealistic philosophy, who was doing things which no honest man would do," said the professor. "I remember him as he was teaching at Jena. I asked him if he had many students there and he said:
 Mot so many Germans. It is small place, but we have a great deal to do with the Films"

 FUTURE, FTNANCIER SAYS

CENTRALIA: We have all the things necessary to make Washing ton @ bigger and better state, and an intelligent advertising plan will bring satisfactory results in a largely in creased agricultural and urban popu- lation," asserted H. c. Sampson, man. ager of the Lincoln Trust company, of Spokane, in speaking here last night at the meeting of the Washing ton Association of Commercial Or ganization Secretaries.
 "The first step in the progress is for us in the State of Washington to have faith in ourselves for thereby will the other fellow soon have faith in us," he continued. The topic of MT. Sampson's speech was "Adver- tising the State of Washington. " Advertising and development go to- gether," he said.
 "The legislature should back a movement by the commercial clubs to send men through the Middle West and East giving illustrated lectures on Washington" Mir. Sampson assert ed. Men also should be sent to the mills and factories to tell of the raw material and resources to be had in Washington. Northwestern capital should also be interested in the Northwest" he declared.
