WANTS AMERICA TO
ASSUME WORLD DUTY
DRESS PRAISING WILSON AS
GREAT LEADER.

An inspiring address, tracing the
development of American ideals
through four great crises, each OF
which produced it's great leader, was
delivered by Rt. Rev. Frederic W.
Keator. bishop of the Episcopal do
cese of Olympia, at the mass meeting
at the high school auditorium
Wednesday evening, commemorating
the anniversary Of the American con.
stitution.
Preceding the bishops address, the
large crowd present joined in com
munity sing" of patriotic airs, led by
Harrison Issacs. Judge Emmett N.
Parker of the state supreme court
presided at the gathering. The local
celebration was similar to those held
throughout the nation Wednesday
evening, and was arranged by Attor'
ney P. M. Troy.
The first of the crises cited by
Bishop Keator in his address was the
struggle of the American colonies for
liberty, leading to the revolution by
which the American people threw of
government by a foreign power and,
establishing the constitution, started
to govern themselves.
The leader in this crisis, George
Washington, the speaker character.
ICED as the greatest leader of all
times.
The second crisis was the struggle
Of the Civil war by which the union
was established and America made a
nation instead of a league Of states,
when Abraham Lincoln was the
leader.
The third, although it did hot re.
suit in war, he called the establish
ment of the square deaP' in indus
try. in which Theodore Roosevelt was
the leader.
The fourth, in which we are now
participating. started with the Span.
ish-American war of 1898, the bishop
said, when the United States entered
world affairs for the first time and
commenced to grow into them.
Finally came the great world war
and, though the American people at
first had no thought that their nation
would be drawn into it. it finally was
and the bishop expressed his own be.
lief that, though at the time, he
thought we had been too slow in 60
ing into it, he was glad now that
there had been somebody to hold the
nation back, until the people were
really ready and the nation was able
to do it's part in the conflict as quick
ly and as we'll as it did.
The bishop declared that America
had gone into the war to preserve its
own ideals and it's own democracy
and asserted that "the same destiny
that shapes our ends raised Woodrow
Wilson to be the leader of our democ
racy in this great crisis."s
He launched, then, into an earnest
appeal for the people to follow that
leader so that America would not
shirk it's task. The question at issue
now. he stated, is whether America
shall step back or shall 60 forward
assuming the responsibility of lead
ership the world has thrust upon it

Firearms were also found on the

COUNCIL REFUSES
PARK ROAD BONDS
PROMPTLY TABLES PETITION
PROPOSING THIS PLAN FOR
PAVING EAST BAY AVENUE.

The East Bay avenue paving pro
feet. considered lately at several pub
lie meetings of interested property
owners. was presented to the council
in two forms Tuesday evening. but
the one which provided for bond
issue against the entire city to pay
the whole cost of the improvement
was promptly tabled.
This method was proposed in a pc.
tition presented by 5S property own
ers of East Bay avenue, asking thai
such bond issue be submitted to q
vote of the people. presumably at the
special bridge bond election. On mo
tion of Councilman Draham, second
ed by Councilman Knox, it was laid
on the table, after very little discus
sion
The other plan, supported by the
committee which was appointed al
one of the public meetings, came be
fore the council in the form of two
petitions. one signed by 80 abutting
property owners on East Bay avenue
and the other by 6o property owners
residing elsewhere in the city.
This plan proposes that 75 per cent
of the cost of the paving shall be as.
sessed against the abutting property
and 25 per cent be assumed by the
entire city, the city also buying the
last Is per cent of the bonds issued
to pay the cost of the improvement
under the customary local improve
ment district procedure. These peti
tions were referred to the committee
on ways and means for consideration
Sentiments expressed by different
councilmen indicate that this plar
will not meet the approval of that
body. on the ground that East Bay
avenue residents are expecting the
city to bear too great share of the
cost While the councilmen might
favor assumption of 25 per cent, they
do not like the idea of having the city
also buy the last Is per cent of the
bonds issued.
AS one of the preliminary steps
toward the improvement, the council

COUNCIL RAPS ENGINEER
IN VOTING ALLEY JOBS
Stipulatcs They Shall Not Be Torn
Up Until Paving Material
Is Received.

The council INDUCED in another
1ap at City Engineer Ray Wood this
week when, in passing ordinances
calling for the paving of couple of
alleys on the Southside. 1t amended
the ordinances to stipulate that the
alleys should not be torn up until
the cement for the paving was on the
ground.
The alleys to be thus improved are
the one between Tenth and Union
from Main to Columbia streets and
the one from Third to Fourth be.
tween Columbia and Water. Ord!-
nances calling for the improvements
were passed unGer suspension of the
rules at the council meeting Tuesday
evening.
The amendment to the ordinances
was in line with the criticism direct
ed at the engineer at a previous
council meeting, over the condition
of the streets on the Westside. En-
gineer Wood stated Thursday that in
all future contracts he would include
a specification that no work was to
be done until the material to finish
the job is at hand.
Bids for the alley contracts are to
be opened at the next meeting.

WILL TRY new PLAN
At BOND ELECTION
COUNCIL DIRECTS ALL VOTING
BE DONE AT ONE POLLING
PLACE, SAVING $3.50.

Amended to provide that the voting
shall be done at one polling place in.
stead of the various precincts of the
city, to reduce the cost of the election,
the ordinance providing for special
election November on the question
of issuing $4,000 worth of bonds for
the West Fourth street bridge was
passed by the city council at its regu.
lar meeting Tuesday evening.
This was the only change made II
the ordinance as originally drafted.
which provides that, as the cts
share of the cost of constructing an
all-concrete bridge and approach. the
city shall issue not to exceed $a5 900
worth of bonds.
Holding the election at one polling
place, probably one of the Offices on
the main floor of the city hall, means
a saving of approximately $3.50 to
the city in the cost of the election,
City Clerk Hiram Dohm states. Here
tOfore it has been customary, when
special elections we're conducted, to
open polling places in each precinct
just as at general election and the
method adopted by the city in this
instance will establish a preced ert
Adoption of the plan was decd |
upon by the councilman when C..J
Clerk Hiram Dohm reported that
there are only about 425 voters now
registered and qualified to vote at the
special election. The normal regis.
tration in the city runs about 2,70O.
The great number who have neglected
to qualify will have an opportunity
to do so until October Is,
The question whether it would be
Efegaf to conduct specia; election in
this manner was taken up with the
state bureau of inspection and in
view of the fact that the city itself
expects to buy the bonds if they are
authorized, the council was advised
to try the plan.
