This important decision ts said to have been made as the result of conferences at Marion and Washington in which United Prees Service | the leading men and women of the country have taken part. Daily by The star Peden || Almost without exception those who have taken part in eee } these conferences have reported an overwhelming public sentiment in their respective sgctions of the country against a separate peace with Germany. \ This gauging of public sentiment is said to have largely determined the decision. Assuming that the decision in this matter of a*German peace is adhered to and that other important decisions as to administrative and legislative policy are made with equal good judgment and equal regard for public sentiment, the country has much to hope for from the new administration. Certainly it is the patriotic duty of every citizen to back up the new’administration to the limit so long as it honestly tries to find out what the majority of the people want and then pilots the ship of state according to that chart. The majority may not always be right, but in our form of government they sooner or later are bound to have their way. i Any administration, even one elected by .seven million |plurality, cannot long retain public confidence and support lif it gets very far away, very often, from the ideas and lideals of the majority of the people. te the State Enterprise — Annoctation and Publisned tne INTERESTING, TF TRUE Our esteemed contemporary, The » Teports the following: ‘The Seattle Symphony Orches we thelr stxth «ym. this evening tm Meany hall.
