N. W. The bridge at that point will make it possible for Division | *A” of the Seattle Municipal railway to run cars directly | into Ballard, instead of stopping at “Nowhere,” as at present The bridge will cost approxtmately $479,500 | Five bridges are included in the bond issue. A_ total} of $1,763,000 is involved Whatever may be the fate of the other bridge bonds, don’t fail to vote for the Ballard bridge. It’s of vital im- rtance to the success of the city railway, besides serving the usual purpose. Large Percentage Off RS. HAMILTON FISH, widow of the late New York millionaire, will have to admit that there are some things they do better (from the point of herself and her kind, any tway), at home than in Europe ; Hi Mrs. Fish, bringing home a more or less famous painting | *by one Moretto da Brescia, which her husband had not long tsince paid some $4,000 for, turned it in at an Italian customs | ‘office recently as being worth some 500 lire, or about $100) sin real money. A wise inspector, making a pretty good guess “at the picture’s value, exercised his right of pre-emption under} the Italian law and bought it for that price. The joke is on Mrs. Fish, but really it’s more than a joke. | Tt’s a little sermon to society women who persist in “tricks that are vain,” and, like Bret Harte’s Chinaman, are occasion-| ally caught. “The Man of the Hour”’ DOOR, old, pompous, fussy Carranza!

AS it accident or coincidence that just after Prexy| Hadley of Yale had given an immunity bath to the existing order, he read a list of nearly $2,000,000 donations? wo Our Diplomatic Service ! _ Senator Stone has introduced a bill for a reorganization of our) foreign service. ‘It provides that all our foreign representatives below | the rank of minister or ambassador shall be under civil service, and under the absolute control of the president. Tt is defective in not going far enough. Our ministers, ambassa- dors, consular representatives and legation officers should be men edu- cated for such service, and enlisted in it for life. They should have no more connection with politics than do the of the army and navy. 3 When the democratic party came into office, there was a general Change all along the line in our representatives at foreign courts. Republicans went out and democrats went in. i Political pressure was brought to bear for the appointment of men _ who had helped in the campaign and served the democratic party. It _ Was thought a grievous thing for republicans to hold lucrative offices _ abroad when good democrats were ready to serve. But the reasons for turning the republicans out were all related to the matter of jobs. These men were in many cases actually hostile _ to the new administration. Skilled diplomats though they may have been, they were politicians, and ready to serve abroad the policies for the promotion of which they had been appointed under the republican | administrations. Some of these policies were opposed to the princi- ples of the Wilson administration. The case of Henry Lane Wilson _ at the City of Mexico is in point. He is a skilled diplomat, but unfit- ted by his affiliations and opinions to carry out the policies of the ew administration. He had to go, no matter what his skill and expe- ce. There should be in Washington a great national university, and | in it a college of diplomacy, which would be to the foreign service of | the United States what West Point is to the army and Annapolis to the navy. Young men should be trained there for diplomacy. They should hear lectures by the American and foreign diplomats always residing in Washington. They should do work in the state and con- -s-@illar services as a part of their education. When graduated, they! _ Bhould receive appointments in the diplomatic and foreign service, | and, by promotion for merit, should finally fill all ambassadorial and consular positions of the highest grade. Our foreign service has not grown in efficiency as it should. It is lower in skill and ability than the foreign service of other nations. "This is so, because foreign nations have adopted the policy of making Aiplomacy, both political and commercial, a profession. Sir Lionel Carden, the British minister to Mexico, was under fire ‘™ short time ago, and it was hinted that he would be removed; but nobody thought for a moment that he would lose his employment. “Tt was hinted that he would be transferred to Brazil; but such men as Francis B. Loomis, Henry Lane Wilson and mony other American diplomats have been found, for various reasons, unavailable for em- ployment. 284 We never Inquire whether Funston or Fletcher is a democr: *@ republican.

The ancient Greeks meant nothing libelous when they called the man out of office an idiot, for im the classic tongue idiot merely meant private citizen or “common man” and was no reflection on a man’s mentality, But time works such wonders with words that “common man” came to mean “fool man,” a man without sense, an idiot. 4!

Lie- ten to him “Referring to the definition of Prof. Paddelford, I simply wish to confirm my positive assertion of the 16th, and must decisively conclude |by affirming that the hen ‘sits’ on her eggs and ‘sets’ them. “Moreover, as everybody in the country or city knows, there are certain hens that generally will sit on the nest merely to lay an egg and then get up and go out. Such hens are simply considered as and jcalled by the farmers, ‘layers.’ | “Another kind {s those hens that will, after the first egg, stay on it in order to lay several more eggs, and remain stationary for a much longer period in order to set (or hatch) them, These hens are uni- versally known as—and called in poultry yarde—‘setters.’” see Mattie Madii! at Monroe, sa: WOODROW GROWS ‘The new town of Woodrow, so named in honor of the president, on Ship creek, Cook inlet, is prosper- ing, with 10 houses, and more under lconstruction, according to officers of the Admiral Sampson, which has reached port from Alaska.
