leaders. There was never a greater
paradox, never more vivid exposure
of our failure to organize politically
on the true issues, than the spectacle
of President Wilson having to depend
on a congressional majority the po-
litical manipulation of which is in the
hands of men like Albert Burleson.
But the fact is there, and no under
standing voter but will see these in
congruties as irrelevant and brush
them aside in order to go to the sup
port of the leader who today embod-
les so much of the hope of the world
for this and future generations.
President Wilson's daring and
courageous appeal would not have
been necessary were we in the full
manhood of our avOwed principles.
The fact is that we are still a servile
race. If it were not SO, the treacher-
Gus and mendacious mouths of
Roosevelt and his co-conspirators
would ere this have been stopped by
some such outburst of popular indig-
nation as our privileged interests
manipulated last year for the de-
struction of our labor radicals. Lodge
and Roosevelt are tolerated, even
have formidable following, not be-
cause their identity with privilege
and Imperialism goes unseen, but
precisely because they are recognized
as the spokesman of our privileged
classes, and as such command homage
and respect from some millions of
snobs, truckers, worshipers of
power, despisers of the weak and OPP
pressed, sneerers at brotherhood and
justice, swashbucklers, cheap cynics,
haters, DULLES, jackals. They mobil-
ize all the weakness and baseness
surviving in human race that has
come up slowly and painfully from
the jungle, a race that once took
bread and beatings from the same
hand, and licked the feet of their
tyrants. They mobilize also the old
tribal savagery of war. They count
on a people infatuated with the
glamor of a militarism that has re-
lieved them of ennui while it has not
yet laid on them its awful cost. They
count on the old bullying instinct
the old barbaric instinct of those
with power, whether nations or indi-
viduals, to use it ruthlessly. They
count on all these things because
they themselves are the embodiment
of these things. Their onslaught on
President Wilson raises. the curtain
on the drama that is to give our CEN
fury it's Significance. Never was
there a clearer issue between light
and darkness, between good and evil,
between the old and the new.-The
Public.

He said to the editor of this page
that just a little more activity on
the part of the progressives would
have landed Is more candidates in
Office in King county. The big han
dicap was the assumption on the
part of the workers that the crooked
politicians, having the money and
the machinery, were invnicible. The
remarkable success in spite of this
hadicap it is presumed will hearten
the friends of progress in the next
election.
Cotterill is an ex-president of the
Washington State Federation of
Labor. He has been the most con-
sistently active union men in Seattle
for the last 20 years. He knows
what the Labor Movement stands for
and its principles are dyed-in-the-
wool insofar as he is concerned.

population of Washington had been
halved, instead of doubled. there
would have been 10 advance il rents.
And just to the extent that govern
ment can move departments out of
the city, to that degree will it tend
to lower rents. In fact, if the cap
ital were to be transferred TO more
central point, to Illinois or Kansas,
there would be very pronounced
fall in Washington rents--and a cor
responding rise in the new capital.
Capitals have been moved; county
seats have been shifted; railroad sta
tons have been changed; and always
with the same result. transference
of high rents from the old place to
the new.
When the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad reached the Mississippi river
it wanted to cross at the little town
of Fulton. The landowners of Full
ton knew that was the logical place
for the road to cross, and fixed a cor
responding price for their land. The
managers of the road escaped by run
ming the road around the town, and
crossing two or three miles below
where the city of Clinton was built
Fulton is still little old town. When
Chicago was settled the merchants
sought to build north of the river,
where the land was dry. The land
owners saw their advantage, and set
the price to correspond. The mer-
chants. rather than pay it, built on
the low, muddy ground south of the
river. Scarcely a community has
been free from this experience. Wash
ington tself was victimized by the
early landowners who put such prices
on the high land in front of the Cap
itol that the city was built behind it.
The old saw about the shoemaker's
children and he blacksmith's horses
going unshod is strikingly illustrated
at the national capital. At the very
fountainhead of political wisdom, at
the place where laws are made, con-
strued, and executed one would ex-
pect to find perfect example of civil
government. 1t is not as though the
capital had been set down in Bos-
tons crooked streets, or crowded into
New York's little island. A new site
was chosen, to be laid out and man.
aged without let or hindrance from
anyone. And during all the interven-
ing years cnOgress has had absolute
control. What is the result of free
opportunity, uninterrupted author
ity for more than a hundred years?
The government is forced to go else
where for accommodations, in order
to escape the rapacious owners of the
land that it alone has made valuable.
What is the reason for this? What
strange and subtle power is it that
renders impotent the whole United
States government in the presence of
Washington landowners? Is there
man or woman at the national cap
ital, including congressman. who
does not know that the high rents
are due to the crowd" and that the
crowd is there solely because the
government is there. and would fol-
low it to any other place? Why does
the creator bow supinely before its
creature? The tenement dweller has
no redress when his rent is raised
but to move. But the government,
the embodiment of all political
power; can it do nothing in its own
city where it is in sole charge, when
its rent is raised?
Many kinds of private industry
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1918-11-29

have been taken over by the govern
ment, while others have been regu-
rated, Or even suspended. Prices of
war materials have been limited, men
have been shifted arbitrarily, every
thing and anything necessary to the
winning of the war has been done,
except to- interfere with. profiteering
landlords. Why the distinction? If
the government can set the price on
hundreds of millions of bushels of
wheat to send to Europe why can it
not fix the rent of q Washington
building? Oh, if it had rather get at
the landlord indirectly, why not in
woke the power that has shifted men
from non-essential to essential indus
tries, and transfer the non-essential
residents in Washington to other
places? Washington is full of people
who serve no useful purpose in being
there. Why not instead Of moving
departments out of the city send
away enough of the idlers to make
the landlords glad to get the govern
ment employees?
What spectacle the whole thing
presents. Alice in Wonderland found
nothing half so topsyturvy as the ten
ant and landlord relations in Wash
ington. Here is a model city laid out
by the government for the sole use
of the government; and congress still
governs and maintains it; yet that
government is driven to find room
outside. Had the government retained
title to the lands in the District of
Columbia, as Australia holds title to
the land for it's new capital, ground
rents of the city would now support
the local government without any
other taxes. And were congress now
to remove all taxes from buildings
and lay them upon land values, there
would soon be ample accommodation
for all and at reasonable rentals

MOONEY SENTENCE COMMITTED.

The death sentence against Thos.
Mooney of San Francisco has been
committed to life Imprisonment by
the governor of California.
The action of the California exec
utive does not change matters. be-
cause it is apparent on the face of the
pardon that it was not given in good
faith. Governor Stephens attempts
to justify his action by Incorporating
in his decision a letter written by
Alexander Berkman. the anarchist.
The governor does not mention
that federal Investigators, through
use of the dictagraph in City Attor-
hey Fickert's private Office, have Sc
cured evidence of the frame-up
against Mooney, incidentally show
ing jury-bribing and corruption in
the handling of other cases by the
district attorney.
The demands of organized labor
are based upon the exposures of per-
jury by witnesses and unbelievable
officials of the district attorneys
Office.
Governor Stephens bNes his deci-
SIGN upon the theory that Moneys
reputation is somewhat shady and
that he ought to go to Jail on general
principles.
John B. Densmore, directed the in
vestigation of Fickert and other ad-
ninistrative officials in San Francis
CO. He said in Seattle Wednesday
that his report on alleged conditions
there does not make any specific
charge against Fickert in the case
against Thomas Mooney, as that had
been disposed of before his probe
began.
Densmore does charge, however,
that Fickert and his assistants tried
to frame" woman witness in the
case against MONEYS wife during
her trial for murder, growing out of
the bomb outrages. Virtually all of
the more important information
gathered by Densmore was obtained
by means of dictaphones placed in
the Office of Fickert and others men
toned in the report.
Describing some of the mechanics
Of his investigation, Densmore said
the man who placed the dictaphone
in Fickert's Office succeeded in his
task in spite of locks and heavy
guard.
Zone of my assistants placed the
almost under Fickert's
nose, and at time when the district
attorney was in his office. He didn't
know when we put it In or took 1t
out. A new style of dictaphone. in
vented by one of our men. who is an
electrical wizard, was used. The re-
ceiving end of the instrument was in
our Office, nearly a mile away. We
used, however, about three miles of
wire.
1.-The instrument we employed Is
much the same as that used in the
trenches in France, in wireless teleg-
raphy, end all conversations between
Fickert and his assistants, as we'll as
the man who did his jury-fixing for
him, were distinctly heard by gov
eminent agents. All such converse
tions were taken down in detail and
are contained in my report.
Eat that Fickert was only the tool
ct Judge Henshaw. The judge fur
nished the brains and Fickert carried
out what he wanted done"
The Densmore report is now being
published in the Seattle Daily Record,
beginning in the issue Of November
9th.

THE SOLDIERS CHANGES

Great as the danger and large as the losses in the ag- gregate, the individual soldier has plenty of chances of com ing home out of the war un- scathed, or at least not badly injured.
 Based on the mortality sta tistics of the allied armies, a soldiers chances are as fol- lows:
 Twenty-nine chances of coming home to one chance of being killed.
 Forty-nine chances of re covering from wounds to one chance of dying from them.
 One chance in 800 of losinp a limb.
 Will live five years longer because of physical training is freer from disease in the Army than in civil life, and has better medical care at the front than at home.

SOLDIER INSURANCE.

Secretary McAdoo has call ed upon all local draft boards to acquaint drafted men with the provisions of the soldier insurance law and to urge ev- cry drafted man to take out this insurance. The boards have been furnished with lit erature to aid them in this ed ucational work.
 The law affording insur- ance to our fighting forces has well been called the most just and humane provision ever made by a nation for it's sol diers and sailors. The Gov ernment and the American people recognize the justice of affording this protection to the men who risk their lives for their country and to their families and dependents at home. It is only just to them selves and to their families and dependents that our fight ing men avail themselves of this opportunity.
 Every American enlisting should take out this insurance and cary with him into dan ger the heartening knowledge that whatever happens, him self and his dependents are protected by his Government.
