In THE BEAUTIFUL
GARDEN OF PRAYER

You will find peace and quiet,
You will find it glorious there,
When your Master calls you to
heaven away up there.
You will meet your Maker there,
You will see the sight of glory,
You will see the Angels there,
You will hear the voice of your
Saviour,
In that church of Gods up there.
You will meet st. Paul and st.
Peter,
You will see the Prophets there,
You will find it nice and cozy,
In the Beautiful Garden of Prayer
Thanking you very much fol
your kindness, remain
Yours very truly,

Great DormitOry to Close

News reaches this office that
the dormitory at Ruston Terrace,
government project, closes its
doors at the end of the month.
The spacious building has filled
a definite need here for the many
hundreds of men who have come
to the smelter since Pearl Har-
Dor. The thing that makes the
venture such q loss to the city
of Tacoma is the tremendous
amount tied up in such a build
ing and its situation being so
hard to reach from the down
town section. These things
should have been taken into con-
sideration before construction.
Dean Hart, who has managed the
project since its opening, has
done a wonderful job, but when
so many of the men left the
smelter there was no way to
cover the fixed high cost of
maintenance. Ways are being
discussed to make some practi-
cable use for the 200 rooms as
bad as the need is for them.

PORTLAND CHURCHES

1t was a big evening, Sunday,
January Is, when Mt. Oliyet
Baptist Church had a mortgage
burning program. A big burden
some debt dating way back be-
fore the coming of the present
pastor, eight years ago, had been
difficult and discouragirg to say
the least, was paid off Decem-
Der, 1913, last month, hence the
big celebration. The three choirs,
senior, young peoples and chill
dren's, furnished special music,
augmenting striking sermon by
DR.. F. W. Starring (white) on
the subject Goods Millionairs. y
In his Introductory remarks at

Soldier Vote and Poll Tax

1t appears that some good may
come of the fight on these two
controversial matters now before
Congress, but none seems to be
of a real sound and permanent
nature, and unless a proper So
luton is found that goes fur
Their than bill, the writer
thinks the whole matter had bet
ter be dropped. When we re-
member that the first 10 Amend
ments to the Constitution, the
Bill of Rights, must always be
considered and until changed
constitutionally there will al
ways be pros and cons, of course,
the New Deal may have a way
of doing things regardless of the
constitution as in many others
that might do. Nothing short of
uniform ballot for duration seems
feasible. A. L. H.

Liberalization Move

By decisive vote, the Portland
YWCA at its annual meeting
last Tuesday night, took the first
steps toward a liberalization of
its constitution. According to the
organization rules the matter
must be voted on a second time;
if in January 1916 the revision
again passes by two-thirds vote
the Portland association will be
in accord as to statement and
purpose and basis for member
ship with the national WV and
about 80 per cent of the locals
throughout the country.
The new statement of purpose
reads "to build up a fellowship
of women and girls devoted to
the task of realizing in our COM
mon life those ideals of personal
and social living to which we are
committed by our faith as Chris
tians. In this endeavor we seek
to understand Jesus and to grow
in knowledge and love of God
The new basis of membership de-
crees that any woman over Is
who accepts this purpose may be
an electoral member of the WV
in contrast to the present basis
which necessitates membership in
a Protestant Evangelical church.
Other changes in the constitution
refer to the date of the annual
meeting and minor matters OF
administration.
The Williams Ave. committee
of management gathered for it's
inventory meeting with the newly
elected members and officers, on
January IA. Mrs. Marie Smith
presided as the new chairman,
succeeding Mrs. Julia Blanchard
Smith. Mrs. Ida McClendon is
this years secretary. Miss Irene
Walker, national WV board mem
Der, who has been assisting in
losal boarr plans for the new
recreational program, addressed
the meeting on the Importance
of the YWCA and of being a
committee chairman. Miss Ger
trude Eakin, general secretary
and Miss Dura Rice also spoke
on aspects of the work to be
done this year.

NEPSER RAPS
SPOKANE PLAN
TO GUST BAKER

Kenneth Klepser, King County
member of the Republican State
Central Committee, expressed dis
approval of the proposal, origin
ating in Spokane, to convene the
state committee for the an
nounced purpose of supplanting
Acting National Committeeman
Frederick e. Baker, with Charles
Hebbard of Spokane.
''Mr. Baker is serving as ma
tional committeeman under auth
GRITTY granted by the state COM
mittee last March," Klepser said.
AT a meeting held at the Cow
man Hotel March 6, a resolution
was adopted unanimously that
the Republican national commit
tee should be requested to take
no action in the resignation of
William j. Reed until after the
Republican state convention, and
that Reeds proxy should be held
by Baker.
ether Republican state con-
vention will be held May 81 and
any attempt to rescind the ac-
ton taken last March will tend
to stir internal friction in the
Republican party"

CASE PROPOSES

OLYMPIA - State Treasurer
Otto A. Case today said he fore
saw the need of a third political
party in the state and nation and
declared he would seriously
consider" suggestions that he
head a party in the state, as its
candidate for governor, "if GER
tain political trends continue. "
Case said marked similar
ity" between Republican and
Democratic party platforms was
likely to foster an unhealthy sit
uation, especially as regards for
eign policy and that the even
tual result of the situation
"might mean this country would
be plunged into another war.
"There is a need for third
political party" he said. 'if only
to serve as an agent of pressure
to force into light an evil condi-
ton that's likely to develop as
a result of present political
trends"

Business in cotton textile continued
stalemated today by the heavy
pressure of military orders and
other inquiries from government
agencies carrying high priority rat
ing. Only few scattered lots were
sold to civilian trade. Mills con-
tinued to await a possible upward
adjustment in textile eiling prices.
The wooden and worsted goods
market concentrated on govern
ment orders with only limited al
lotments to meet the heavy re-
placement demands from t h e
trade.
Rayon goods market was quiet
with attention centering on pros
pective large government orders
