The ONLY defense of the Pacific
Coast States is a navy that could

The people of Washington, Ore

On This Rock
We Stand
\ URING the war the favorite in
door pastime of fireside war


riors was to denounce the
Hearst papers as pro-German and
anti-British.
At the present time the favorite
indoor pastime of the same kind OF
patriots is to denounce the Hearst
papers as pro-Irish and anti-British.
We do not know how the mental
processes of these fireside warriors
and statesmen move, their wonders
to perform. We have often thought
it would be amusing and instructive
to take one of their heads apart and
see what is in them, or rather what
isn't in them.
The Hearst papers are ALWAYS
and ONLY pro-American.
The Hearst papers do not hate
England or the English people.
The Hearst papers hate English
interference with our American at
fairs, English diplomatic intrigue,
English alliances, English propa-
ganda, English espionage.
None of these things has any
place in our national life.
Whoever applauds these things is
not good American.
Whoever invites foreign interior
ence in our affairs is not loyal cit
iZen.
Whoever advocates a union OF
America with England or any other
country is a misguided citizen, a
dangerous citizen and a mighty poor
specimen of independent American
manhood.
We wish every people in the
world we'll. We would have them
if we could-all be as happy and
comfortable as our own people. We
would be glad to see them all live
in peace and security.
BUT WE ARE UNALTERABLY
OPPOSED TO ANY POLITICAL
ALLIANCE WITH ANY OF THEM
any political PARTNERSHIP
with nations less honest, less peace
full, less prosperous, less safe and
less solvent than our own.
That's our doctrine.
1t is a good doctrine.
1t is an American doctrine
We get it from Washington.
We get it from jefferson.
We get it from Lincoln.
We get it from the traditions of a
most glorious past, from a history
so splendid that the heart thrills at
each new reading; from every good
and wise American who ever had a
part in making our America the
wonder and envy of times present
and of the ages that are to come.
It is the doctrine that is a religion
with us-a creed.
We live to defend it.
We would not be at all unwilling
to die for it, if that small sacrifice
was necessary to its continuance.
And we do not doubt that we and
the millions of Americans like our
selves are able to defend and will
defend and maintain this true Amer
lean doctrine against the wiles of
foreign influence and the mean and
base intrigue of domestic traitors
to the traditions of the past, and
then hand it down unimpaired to
our sons sons to defend and main
tain, as long as the Republic stands
on it's mighty foundations four
square to every storm Of fate and

Let Washington
Police Alone

Members of the Cabinet, Members
- of the Congress, and all other Coz
eminent officials, Gentlemen:
I'VE realize that the United States
" contributes about forty per
cent of the revenue neces-
sary to run the District of Columbia.
We realize that you, as temporary
residents, are interested in its af-
fairs, and wish to see it's municipal
government efficiently operated.
Therefore, we are inclined to be
very kindly in our feelings toward
you when we find you using your
official influence to direct appoint
ments to office of District officials,
But
In the past three months some
twenty Senators, as many mem
bers of the House, at least one Cabi
net officer and a small legion of
other Government officials have as
"sumed to "advise" the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia
on their appointment of new head
of the Washington Police Force.
Many of these estimable gentlemen,
earnestly striving to obtain for the
District of Columbia the very best
possible officials, have even car
ried their songs of praise-for some
fifteen different candidates-to the
White House.
Gentlemen, we thank you for your
very kindly interest in the Police
Force of Washington. 1t is delight
full to realize that so many promi-
nent persons are earnestly working
to obtain an efficient leader for the
force, But
The Commissioners Of the District
of Columbia were appointed by the
President to run District affairs.
They were not appointed to be the
mouthpieces for, or the agents of,
members of Congress or other Off
Gals of the Federal Government.
The Commissioners have studied the
Police Force for more than a year,
and under the present administra-
ton many progressive steps have
been taken, with few errors of judy
ment on the part of the Commits
sioners. We believe that the Com
missioners know more about the
needs of the Police Force, and who
should be appointed head of that
force, than a Congressman from the
Gulf of Mexico, New England or the
Pacific Coast.
The people of the District have
every confidence in their Commits
sioners, despite the fact that they
had no hand in the selection of these
officials. Each of the Commission
ers has shown himself a successful
man in private life, prior to taking
public office. They have shown they
can conduct successful business
without advice from Legislators.
We believe that they are fully
qualified to conduct the business of
the District of Columbia, INCLUD-
ING THE POLICE FORCE AND
THE SELECTION OF A POLICE
CHIEF, better than any or all OF
their well-intentione advisers.
In other words, gentlemen, if you
we're to ask us what you could do
most to increase the efficiency of
the Washington Police Force, We,
the people of Washington, would an
swer, in a mighty chorus:

BRITISH CHAMPIONS
MENACE GOLF OPEN
Duncan and Mitchell Would
Join Vardon, Braid, Taylor
and Herd at SkOkie.
BY KERR N. PETRIE.

With Harry Vardon. James Braid, j.
II. Taylor and Sandy Herd all slated
to apepar in this years national open
championship it would be a pity not to
make a regular party Of II. This evil
IDENTIFY Is the thought in the mind of
George Duncan and of Abe Mitchell. and
at this stage the prospect looks very
rosy indeed that all six Britons will ap-
pear at Skoke.
The word has been around now for
several weeks concerning the intentions
of the first four mentioned veterans.
1t might be urged that ths report adding
Duncan and Mitchell to the list of IN
vaders Is too good to be true only foe
the fact that Duncan himself is author
ity for the statement. Apparently last
years invaders do not like the way
matters broke for them in the open at
Washington not to mention the result
of the British open at st. Andrews,
which left the proud title in the hands
of Jock Hutchson and the second
money prize in the pocket of Tom Ker-
rigan of Siwanoy.
Duncan has written John G. Ander..
son. under whose wing both he and Abe
Mitchell were last year, stating that he
would like nothing better than another
tilt at the American open championship.
which this time is to be played at
Skokie. A second letter dispatched by
the same mail has been received by the
writer In this the Hanger Hill star
reiterates the desire of himself and
Mitchell TO play at Skokie And" says
Duncan. in conclusion, ''it is quite on
the cards that Abe and I will play"
Such an addition to the invading team
would bring into the field at Skokie no
less than six former holders of the Brit
ish open crown. 1t is even possible that
the total of honors men may be raised
to seven by that time, which would be
the case were Mitchell, Hagen or Barnes
t. lead the cavalcade at Sandwich
Mitchell so far Is the only one of the
half dozen prospective invaders who has
not won the British open. Abe, how
ever, has been n frequent winner Of the
Neacs Of the World tournament, which
Is the British equivalent OF the Amer
lean professional championship.
Duncan draws rather q gloomy picture
of British golf for the coming year
Golf this side is dead as mutton" he
says. adding, ~ ii. Taylor is bewaiiing
the fact that all our good players are
beating it for your side. leaving us moth
ing wherewith to repel the invading
Americans"
According to Duncan. too. the larger
ball is again being pushed to the fore.
not by Taylor. but by a. G. NJ. Croome.
Supporting Croome. George says, are
several "big noises" in Britain who have
had their day. Because OF this they
don't seem to care what others have to
play with.
"a bigger ball forsooth 20 exclalms
Duncan. rs not the hole small enough
with the present ball? I say it is. Any
way. / thin. Croome & Co. will be un-
lucky"
opinion in the United States will crys-
tallize against the attempt of Croome
and his followers to restore the larger
ball to the game. His wish Is that they
be asked 10 leave the game alone. "As
II stands it is all right" he declares.
