We Simply
Won't Fight

The telephone rang.
You ought to roast the repub-
lican state convention came
over the wire. 1T voted against
permitting cities to extend its
power and light advantages to
other communities and against
-
We refuse. The whole conven-
ton isn't important enough.
Ninety-nine per cent of the
population of this state did not
even know there was a state con-
vention on. The same old moss
backs who used to go to conven-
tons in olden days were there
again Thursday.
Most of the old fellows don't
know there is regular 1918
kind of war on with 1918 evolu-
tions in politics as we'll as in in
dustry and in commerce. II they
weren't afraid of the women's
votes, they'd have had a plank
against equal suffrage in their
platform.
There was a time when Louis F.
Hart, of Pierce county; DR.. Beach,
of Mason county; DIR. Carlyon, of
Thurston, and Tom Page of Kent T;
Bill Humphrey, of Seattle, and the
others of that kind, really carried
more or less weight in public af.
fairs. But now?
Why, dawgone 1t, you hear OF
'em only once every two years
when the conventions come along
and they become delegates be-
cause no one else gives a hang
whether they are or not.
Roast 'em?"
Gosh, no! Let the corpses
make merry IL they choose.

WHEN AUSTRIA VANlSnES

But with the big fight Of the
war on his hands on the western
front, the kaiser might deem 1t
advisable to promise Bohemia,
Poland and Jugo-Slavia their in
dependence, to free the Italians
and Rumanians in the dual mon
archy, to prevent continual revo-
luton at his back door and avert
the necessity for keeping badly
needed German army in the Slavic
states.

Revenge ON Karl
The next expected step is for
Germany to say to the Germans of
Austria:
We'll feed you IL you'll stand
for being annexed to the empire. "
In their dire extremity. what
else could the Austrians do but
: 1t would be a sweet revenge for
the kaiser on Emperor Karl, who
in a moment when his conscience
pricked him wrote a letter recog-
nizing the right of Alsace-Lorraine
to freedom. He's had a scolding
for it; now comes the real pun
ishment.
Slavs q Problem
The Slavic and Latin peoples of
Austria will never submit peace
fully to being seized by Germany.
They have already caused a great
deal of trouble for Vienna.
The Polish question has given
the kaiser himself many a sleep
less night, and has long been a
bone Of contention between Ber-
lin and Vienna.
