republicans in their September
primary and the general electorate
in the November election. In the
meantime, it behooves every voter
to search out the facts so he or
she may participate intelligently in
the task of selecting sound, orderly
state government.
It is of minor Importance, in the
judgment of this reporter, whether
the people establish a complete
Hartley government or a solid an
ti-Hartley administration. Nor
would it be calamity to put dem
ocrats in control of Olympia. But
it would be unwise and dangerous,
perhaps, to return a divided adj
ministration, half Hartley, half
anti Hartley. Continuation of the
present fractional lines might east
ly lead to revolt in the legislature,
impeachment proceedings, duel
government, etc.
This situation, mixed up and be-
wildering, is seemingly a challange
and taunt to the intelligence and
capacity Of Washingtonians to Sc
lect and maintain constitutional
government. The direct primary,
initiative, referendum and recall
centra1ize responsibility in the in
dividual citizen. Hence the neces-
sity for every voter to resolve to

Optimism, Us. Pessin,isn

The talk was of the pessimism of
the young. 81 do not understand
why" said one. "You would think
that young people would be all opti-
mism with the future before them.
You would think they'd see life as
rosy path. 1t seems to me the mid.
dle-aged man and the old have
more reason to be pessimistic They
have seen their illusions and their
enthusiasms go one by one"
Because they are middle-aged
and old is the very reason for their
optimism" said another. "They
have learned by the time they reach
mature years that nothing is so bad
as 1t seems and this is a pretty
good old world after all."-Spring-

Tea drinking is universal social
habit In Persia. One Of the social
institutions Of great attraction is
the teahouse, some Of which are
furnished quite deliberately, while
others are rude in their surround
ings Business men often make ap-
pointments here, and It is very COM.
mon for loafers to seek out these
teahouses. The common pipes, Gig.
arettes and the kalean, or water
pipe, are much used. In the water
pipe the smoke passes through the
water and is drawn into the lungs.
Lemon Juice and other fiavors are
sometimes mixed with the water.

What Napoleon Said and Wrote
BY r. A. WALKER

NJ APOLEON is man worth think
y ing about. What he said and
wrote is worth thinking about So
for the most part we are letting this
article be written by Napoleon.
On the morning of his death he
said: There is nothing terrible in
death; he has been about my pillow
for the last three. weeks and now he
Is about to. take me away forever"
There will come a time when all OF
will think about death. and if Ma.
poleOn could think pleasantly in ex
lie, we ought to be able to think
pleasantly in freedom.
'Those should possess knowledge
who aspire to assume the command
over others"
Napoleon believed in fate He said:
1T is not written on high that am
to perish by the hands of the Arabs I"
and he made his escape.
At another time he said to an oil
Ger: my friend, If that ball were
destined for you. it would be sure 10
find you, though you were to hurrcw
a hundred feet under ground"
But If Napoleon believed in fate. il
never interfered with his belief thai
he could accomplish what he set out
to do.
OF Lennes, WHO entered the army
as volunteer, and died marshal of
France, Napoleon said: ~ found him
a dwarf, and left him n giant"
Napoleon found himself a dwarf
