BENEFIT CARNIVAL
FOR WAR FUNDS

Seattle, Wash, July 28.- Seattle's
great victory carnival for the benefit
of various war funds was held this
week.
One of the big features of the cele-
bration was the "Road to Victory"
pageant presented each evening. This
was shown in the University of
Michigan open air theatre, which seats
10000 persons. Each day special at
fractions were planned in which the
sailors from the University of Wash
ngton training camp and the Bremen
ton training camp and the Bremerton
various organizations participated.
Sunday afternoon Rodeo enter
tainmcnt will be given by detach-
ments of soldiers from Camp Lewis.
Fifty per cent of the proceeds of
the affair will be given to the naval
relief and the other half will go to
provide additional emergency hos
pitfalls for shipyard workers and others
engaged in essential war Industries.

The dye stuffs industry of America
still face the problem of downing the
propaganda concerning the superior
ity" of German dyes. Type for type
American dyes are equal IN strength
shade, solubility and fastness in every
respect to the pre-war dyes. At the
start of the war there was mad
scramble for anything in the shape of
color, with the result that some cheap
colors were put on materials that de-
manded fast color. This started the
department store sing-song, ave can
not guarantee the dyes" which has
done more than anything else prob
ably to convince the American house
wife that American dyes can not be
relied upon outside of the exper-
fence of buying some of these misap-
piled dyes.
Leading American dye stuff man
ufacturers now assure the buying pub
lie that such conditions no longer ex-
list, and that American dyes are of the
best.

COLLEGE COURSES
BENEFIT THE FRUITGROWER
Popular Six-weeks Courses Start Jan.
6.-New Work Has Been
Added

Blacksmithing, made up of general
forge work and farm repairs, has
been added to the short winter courses
in mechanical engineering which here
tofore have been announced by the
College of Mechanic Arts and Engi-
neering, of the state college, the op-
ening date for which is January 9th.
The instruction in blacksmithing
will consist mainly of practical work
at the forge. The choice, use, and
care of shop tools, forge fires for diff
ferent purposes, different methods of
bending, forming and welding iron and
steel, and the dressing and tempering
of tools, will be included in the black
smithing course, which can be taken
continuously, or in conjunction with
the other mechanical and automobile
courses, all of which will be offered
during the six weeks following jan
uary 9th.
Another recent addition to the pop
ularized work in mechanics is SER
les of two weeks practical course in
steam and gasoline engines. In this
instruction, laboratory work and class
room talks will cover the different
types of machines, the principles of
operation, trouble remedies, repairs,
and methods of testing. A variety of
stationary engines, including steam,
gasoline and kerosene, will be avail
able for the use of the students.
AS now arranged, the various
courses of the winter school of me-
chanics are each two hours in length.
Students may spend two weeks on
carburetors and ignition, two weeks
on automobile engine repair work and
adjustment, two weeks on chassis re-
pair and adjustment, either two, four
or six weeks on blacksmithing, or two
weeks on steam, gas and kerosene en-
gines or two weeks on farm tractors,
combining with these courses in the
measure desired, other mechanical
work, the whole of which will not go
beyond six weeks following January
9Th.

COUNTRY FIRST

The |. w. w. motto, Loyalty to my
class above loyalty to my country" is
being adopted by too many members
of organized labor. Adherence to this
sort of policy worked America great
harm during the war, and the pos
poets are that the policy has not been
been discarded.
Loyalty to unions is admirable, so
long as those unions and their leaders
are reasonable, fair and just, and
stand for things consistent with the
constitution. But blind loyalty to un-
ions and leaders when they are plac-
ing themselves above the government
and the country is to be deplored.
Following autocracy blindly under
the theory that "the king can do no
wrong" has led nations to ruin.
Labor leaders have proved so many
times that they were in the wrong;
so many times have they defied the
government, and so many times has
their utter selfish outlook for their
own interests been exposed, regard
less of the interests of other union
members, that it seems those members
would be bit skeptical, at least.
Loyalty to the country and its in
terests should come first with every
man. The country gave each man his
opportunity, its continued prosperity
means his prosperity, so it is his plain
duty to put country first, and selfish
interests last.
Organized labor asks for a contin-
uation of price restrictions on various
commodities, but rebels against any
attempt to regulate labor prices. 1t
demands that prices be reduced, yet
firmly assures us that it will tolerate
no rerduction in wages. Consistency
is indeed a rare jewel.

BOLSHEVISM

The Dutch minister at Petrograd
characterizes bolshevism as "the end
of civilization" and declares the boil
shevik principles are thigh wages for
no work, the taking of others prop
erty without punishment, and no tax

"The state of unemployment is ter
rible in Petrograd," he continued.
"The situation is one of utter exhaus-
ton. The people do not know how
they will exist from day to day. ]
never dreamed of such corruption and
tyranny and absence of all semblance
OF freedom. The future to me seems
hopeless. One thing is certain, and
that is if she is left as she is now,
Russia will be completely and utterly
ruined"

countries for equal privileges with
America in the Panama canal; or as
to our discriminatory or reciprocal
tariff arrangements with such coun-
tries as we see fit; or questions as to
the status of aliens residing in the
United States, or other naturalization
as American citizens; or the terms and
conditions of such immigration or
naturalization, is intolerable, and yet
this would necessarily be the case once
such league of nations was estab-
lished.
If it did not have power to deal with
such things there would be no use
then in its establishment, as it could
be nothing more than a mere treaty
of arbitration, with agreements with
other nations for the support of meas
ures of international law agreed upon
at The Hague convention. This is a
very different thing from an interna-
tional government with armies and
navies as proposed by its advocates
to force its DEGREES upon the United
States and the other individual units
composing the league.
l note from the propaganda gotten
cut in behalf of this league by inter
national bankers, largely of German
extraction, who care no more for the
American flag than they do for any
ether flag-certainly not as much as
they do for the German flag-that
they argue that we must trust in the
humanity and benevolence of the
league. Many people have trusted to
the humanity and benevolence of gov
ernments and warriors beyond their
control, and occasionally their trust
has been justified, but for every such
case there have been a hundred where
it was misplaced.
The only proper trust for the Amer
lean people is in themselves.
We are numerous enough with a
great enough country to see that we
ourselves act justify toward the
world, and if we do that we will have
done about all that can be expected
of us. Certainly we are not called
upon to tie ourselves up with every
little broil and controversy of the

| am opposed to it on account of the
ideas | have had since reading in child
hood the terrible struggle of our faith
ers for liberty in the revolutionary
war, the efforts of Washington, the
suffering of his barefooted soldiers at
Valley Forge, and the light to all the
world that liberty, as established by
the handful of heroic American colo
nists has been. The idea of giving it
up and of considering such a question
seriously seems almost like a dream
to me. l have still faith enough in
the love of liberty of the American
people to believe that it can not be
cone without war; in other words,
that the masses of our people will
never submit to it peaceably unless
they are uniformed of what is NOV
ing in this matter and its insidious
menace.
There have been various leagues at

past and instead of bringing peace,
they have all brought war and the

GERMAN ARROGANCE

Germany whipped and humbled does
not necessarily mean that there has
been a radical change for the better
in German character. On the con-
trary, it is said that the arrogance of
the military element is still supreme
and ridiculous considering the break
down of the military machine. These
are the men who will keep the war
spirit alive, though smoldering, and
pass it on to the next generation.

myriad tribes and races and national
tiles of the world for whom we are
not responsible and with whose per-
sonal affairs we have no interest, and
who will not thank us for intervening
in them.
Even if we suppose that the con-
trolling powers in such a league
would be wise and benevolent, what
right have we to suppose in the light
of history that they will continue to
be so? Once the authority and power
is granted, then we are helpless.
