never any telling what may happen
to a heroine in her transition from

three acts of English environment to

The Independent puts the argu-
ment in favor of electing democrats

says:
American experience of divided

happy. A democratic President con-

with democratic congress, has never
been, even in times of peace, an eff
fectiye disposition of political forces
Waste and inefficiency have usually
resulted from it, and it is not possible
to imagine that great war in its
critical stages could be more effect
lively waged if energies and responsi-
bilities should be so distributed.

dictate Of common sense that the

majority to congress and assure to
President Wilson the support of a

ent. honestly wants to win the war

be conducive to the success of the re

WELL DONE

After nearly two years of faithful
and efficient service Mrs. e. w.
Thorpe has retired from the position
of chairman of the Pullman branch
of the American Red Cross. She
takes with her the esteem and good
will of her cO-wOrkers and the graft
tude of the community for the splen-
did work she has done. She has dis
charged the difficult duties of the Of
lice with dignity, common sense,
and tact which has resulted in the
accomplishment CT maximum results
with a minimum of friction.
Few chapters or branches of the
Red Cross have better record for
harmonious work and generous sup
port than the Pullman organization
and the credit is largely due to the
sound judgment and rare diplomacy
which the retiring president has dis
played in solving delicate problems
and smoothing out disagreements
From the start she adopted and
maintained a policy of firmness tenn
pered with tolerance and good humor
which won the respect and co-opera-
ton of the whole community.
Mrs Thorpe has done a big work
and done it well and is entitled to
the satisfaction of knowing that the
directors and members of the Pull
man branch of the Red Cross and the
people of this city deeply appreciate
the splendid service she has rem
dered and the self-sacrificing spirit
she has manifested.

A LOGICAL CONTENTION

w. K. McCroskey, democratic can
district, in recent newspaper inter
view, said
Il consider that the election of
democratic house this year Will be
construed by our allies as an en-
President Wilson, and the election of
a republican house would be consid-
cred as vote of lack of confidence. .
Some editors are trying to CON
strue the above statement as a slur
upon the patriotism OF republicans.
1t is nothing of the sort, but plain
statement of truth which eminent
republican leaders have recognized
and proclaimed in the past. For in
stance, in the campaign of 1898, in
urging the importance of electing a
republican congress, Theodore Roose-
welt said:
or not, your votes this year Will be
viewed by the nations of Europe from
one standpoint only. They will draw
no fine distinctions. A refusal to
sustain the President this year viii,
in their eyes, be read as a refusal to
sustain the war and to sustain the
efforts of our peace commission TO
secure the fruits of war
In the same campaign eX-President
Benjamin Harrison was quoted in the
Philadelphia North American as say
ing:
IF the word goes forth that the
people of the United States are stand
ing solidly behind the President, the
task of the peace commissioners Will
be easy, but if there is break in the
ranks-if the democrats score a tell
ing victory, if democratic senators
congressman and governors are elect
ed-Spain will see in it CLEAN OF
hope, she will take fresh hope, and
renewal of hostilities, more war, may
be necessary to secure to us what we
have already won"
Republican editors also then recoS
nized the folly of electing congress
not in harmony with the President
as is proved by the following quota
tons:

the four precincts of Pullman for the
nomination for the six-year term as
Judge of the state supreme court

upright Judge, and has many friends

Official figures compiled by E.
Cowen show that the cost of conduct
ing the sheriffs office in Whitman
county for 1915 was $10,255, and
for 1916 was SCOOPS. During those
same two years the cost of the sher-
ifs office in Whatcom county was
$7136 and $6732. Yet in Whatcom
county there are many logging camps
and mills manned hy much rougher
and less law-abiding class of people,
than the peaceful farmers of Whit

cost in Whatcom county g for 1916
was nearly three times greater than

figures.
