Attaboy! This summer, because of Sunday’s job, you can leave here in the afternoon, have supper on a glacier and be back in time to get a good night’s sleep. Find another city in America where you can do that! Sunday's workers saved six hours of driving to every tourist coming here; six hours to every Seattleite. Good work, boys and girls! a sm Two Seattle bandits overlooked $40 in a South Side grocery store till and probably will deduct this from thelr income tax next year under “losses.” “Where,” says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “should a person who has Re money got” Have you tried Sinclair or Doheny?

Perhaps this tl is wrong but it’s a theory that appeals to the man in the street Constant postponements of the flight here do not tend to strengthen the average man’s faith in aviation. The have caused the general belief that flying is a risky busi ness, only to be attempted under ideal conditions, wit! perfect machines. Ask some of the boys who took up the “flaming coffins” in the storm of battle nine years ago about that.

No infant ever used that kind of language \ Well, What of It? iy iL, the republican state convention met Saturday at Wenatchee and the best comment we can think of is: “What of it?” The meeting was opened with prayer, on the theory that the Almighty takes a personal interest in the state repub- lican central committee—which theory we may, perhaps, be pardoned for doubting. After the Almighty had been Suitably praised, the bosses, who prefer direct methods to faith in Providence, told the delegates what.to do. The delegates did it. The power trust lobbyists—the same ones who hover around Olympia during legislative sessions—were there. They made known their wishes: to the bosses and the bosses passed the word along. That the public-owner- ship power plank was left out hardly needs telling. _ “Dangerous radicals” who have such wild dreams as pull- ing the claws of the trust and the old-fashioned stand- _ patter were properly squelched. It was the same crowd that would kill our direct pri- Mary system so they could nominate all public officials. : hed G. O. P. had a convention, but who cares, and what Optimism is exemplified by the Middle West's effort to make it appear that its kind of spring weather is worth big money. ‘The greatest curse of a spring cold is to be told by everybody you meet along Second aye. what to do for it, Mr. Bryan’s Antidote M: BRYAN comes forth with a suggestion that the i government finance the campaigns of presidential candidates. Theodore Roosevelt once advanced the same The Bryan plan embodies the announcement of the names of all candidates in a government bulletin, at the proper time, and provision for an assessment of 10 cents per voter, apportioned among the parties according to their last recorded strength, to be appropriated from the ational treasury to cover the expenses of the campaign. The idea is worth serious consideration, for it would, in a large measure, protect the integrity of all candidates against the demands of predatory interests, political grafters, and others looking for special favor or easy money. Under its operation, such repulsive conditions as have been uncovered recently in Washington would be in- frequent, if they happened at all, and that would be a large gain in the direction of honesty and the neutraliza- tion of public distrust. But the plan would not put an end to the frailties or cupidity of men, for no human plan or law can do that. Besides, while honesty is the best principle, it is not always considered the best policy in politics, and Mr. Bryan does not contemplate the abandonment of politics. We cannot entirely eradicata that sort of poison from our system. Frank Vanderlip says Wall Street, as compared with Washington, is pure and undefiled, but that looks like an unconfirmed rumor, too. General Pershing is writing a book about the world war, and perhaps he will tell us who won it. What Is the Answer? “i is reported that the United States is expending for education more money than all the other nations of the earth combined. More crime is committed in the United States than any- where else on earth and the average criminal now ig well within school age. Either we are not getting the worth of our money in education or education does not build character as it should. Is this the answer? Or what is?

Under-Secretary Ponsonby an- founces the end of secret treaty-making. Hereafter par- liament and the British people will have 21 days for dis- _ cussion of treaties before the labor government asks their fatification. Secret treaties have always been loaded with war possibilities, and if England’s labor government will back its treaty policy with a provision for popular referendum on the question of entrance into war, that government will be years ahead of any other on earth, but it will be awfully tough on profiteers everywhere.
