Another hundred year precedent was knocked into a cocked hat, when a sufficient number of states of the Union voted to elect United States senators by a direct vote of the people. In many states the principle was practically in effect, but it was not obligatory, for though a candidate might have been overwhelmingly endorsed at the polls in the State of Washington for United States senator, yet the legislature could have turned him down and the election of the successful candidate would have been perfectly legal, but as it now stands every one seeking a senatorial toga must go before the voters and be elected the same as the representatives. Just why those who framed the constitution ever made it otherwise we are unable to say, but whether their intentions were for good or bad it worked bad, for it has been a good many years since a man was elected to the United States senate purely on his merits. It is safe to say that the State of Washington never elected a man to the United States purely o nhis merit, and the most of those elected to the senate were backed by some selfish interest, though some of them became very loyal to the cause of the people after they had been seated. BREAKS ALL PRECEDENT. A hundred years' precedent was broken at the opening of the extra session of Congress, when President Wilson went in person before the senate and the house of representatives, and told them what he thought the two houses should do in the way of giving the people of this country relief legislation from the burdens that have been imposed upon them by the trusts and combinations in restraint of trade. One paper puts it, the president has been democratizing the presidential office, and it well said. In the past the presidents of the United States have been altogether too exclusive with the people and it is quite time to call a halt. Such actions may suit people who bow and ape to kings and queens, but to free and easy people of a proud republic it is taking a nice thing entirely too far. The president of the United States is no more nor less than the most ordinary citizen, save and except when he is transacting his official duties, and the president should frequently have heart-to-heart talks with his fellow workers, whether they be Democrats, Republicans or any other kind of partisan. Not only should the president have heart-to-heart talks with the senators and representatives, but he should frequently have similar talks with his fellow citizens in general. Less exclusiveness on the part of the president will doubly increase the confidence the people in him. We predict a unanimous re-election of Woodrow Wilson if he continues his commonsense life in the discharge of his official duties. MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT. LAKE WHATCOM is a colossal reservoir. It is approximately twelve miles long and one mile wide. In the winter time it is supplied from the watershed adjacent with ample water to keep it at high water mark or better. Through Whatcom Creek, its outlet, millions of gallons of water flow down to the bay. This immense volume of water that goes to waste represents an extra large number of horsepower that could be utilized were it harnessed by proper machinery. Naturally, the water of the lake would be lower in the summer than in the winter. The Supreme Court has ruled, says an authority, that the city has a right to hold the water in lakes that are water supplies for cities, to the high water mark. By keeping the water of Lake Whatcom at the height allowed by SEATTLE, WASH., FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1913 law there would be ample power to develop say one thousand or twelve hundred horsepower, and of course, in the winter, the power would be unlimited. A resident of this city who has had forty-five years' experience with power plants, is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the plan to establish a municipal light plant in the city. He has personally examined the route of the necessary pipe line from the Upper Falls of Whatcom creek down to a point near Eureka Junction, where the city's plant could be located. He says it is an ideal route and an ideal site for a plant. He is now at work securing actual data to submit to the voters. Business men, wage earners, taxpayers and progressive citizens in general throughout the city are favorable to the plan, because they KNOW that CHEAP POWER and CHEAP WATER is the best ASSET a city may have and are INDUCEMENTS for prospective HOME BUILDERS, as well as MANUFACTURERS. Factories mean PAYROLLS and PAYROLLS mean WAGE EARNERS and WAGE EARNERS mean HOME BUILDERS, all of which are essential to the commercial, industrial and financial life of any city. Bellingham needs more payholls, and if the Municipal Light Plant will increase the number, let us have it.—Progressive. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP A DETRIMENT. C. C. Follmer, a well known business man of Grand Rapids, Mich., and a keen observer, has returned from a trip to the Antipodes. Australia and New Zealand have long been held up as splendid examples of municipal ownership. According to Mr. Follmer the countries are suffering because of government ownership, and the domination of government by unions. He says: "Both in New Zealand and Australia they are strong on government ownership of the railroads and other public utilities and in utility developments both countries lack that enterprise which private capital displays. New Zealand, for instance, has one railroad. Good lands accessible to the railroad are worth $200 or $300 an acre, but a few miles back the land has no value because there is no way to get the products out or supplies in. Private enterprise would build spurs and thus develop the country, but this is not the government ownership policy. The same condition obtains in Australia. In both countries organized labor is in control and this is not an encouragement for private enterprise. It is true they have compulsory arbitration to adjust disputes that may arise, but the character of the arbitration may be judged from the influence that controls the government. Australia is a great country, with an area as large as the United States, but with a population of only about five million. It has great possibilities in the way of development, but conditions are such that capital hesitates to go in and this has made development slow."—Michigan Investor. INCREASING INTEREST ON MUNICIPAL BONDS. The first claim made for public ownership is that service can be rendered cheaper, but when all proper items of expense are included—such items as a private enterprise must include if it is to live—it will not be found that there is any very great difference in the cost of supplying service between well-manager private and public supplies, while poorly managed public supplies make a worse showing than poorly managed private supplies. The subject is dealt with by Walter S. Allen in the North American Review. First of all, it must be admitted that although the accounting methods of public service companies often leave much to be desired, that certainly, in this country at least, municipal and governal accounting methods are hopelessly antiquated and as varied as the whims of officials make them. One important reason given for public ownership has been the fact that municipalities have been able to borrow money at a lower rate than companies. This has been true and is now, to a certain extent, but the rates for municipal loans and public utility bonds have been steadily approaching one another, and this process is likely to continue. The enormous municipal debts which American and English cities are running up are tending to render capital cautious; and although not only the property of the municipality but that of every individual citizen stands as security for the municipal loans, still the difficulties which would arise if a municipality VOLUME XV. NUMBER 2 should go into bankruptcy—not an unthinkable proposition—does not allure the investor. This may seem an exaggerated statement, but the United States Census Bureau reports show that between 1902 and 1908 the sixteen largest cities in the United States increased their gross debts by $646,000,000, or 71.6 per cent. This means that the gross debt of these cities for each man, woman and child living in them increased from $75.47 to $112.50. Such an increase cannot continue without a demand from investors for a higher rate of interest to compensate for the risk.—Publicity Service Magazine. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP SCORED. The man who advocates governemnt ownership of railroads in the United States before the people have shown a greater capacity to govern themselves efficiently than they have yet shown is as stupied as he is ignorant, and as reckless as he is stupid, according to Samuel O. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age-Gazette. Mr. Dunn read a paper recently at the third annual meeting of the Traffic Club of New England, at Boston. Mass.: "I am not opposed to public ownership and management of railways or any other industry simply as a matter of abstract principle," said Mr. Dunn. "But the question involved is not one of abstract principle at all. It is one of practical public expediency, and, as such, the desirability of taking the operation of our railways out of the hands of managements that compare well in efficiency with any other railway management in the world, and turning it over to a government or governments that in efficiency compare very ill with the governments of other leading countries, certainly seems extremely doubtful. When a man advocates government ownership of railways in this country we may well ask what he proposes to do before that policy is adopted to so increase the efficiency of our government as to make it in some degree fit to undertake railway management. "I cannot conceive of anything that would lead to more deplorable results for travelers, shippers and the taxpaying public than government management of railways officered, not by experts, but by politicians, manned by labor brotherhoods having enormous voting power, and directed by referendum, and that, from present indications, is what government ownership in this country would mean."—Publicity Service Magazine. REVISED VERSION "All things come to him who waits." Some one wrote thus long ago, Quoted round in divers states It is counted surely so! But if I could have my way, I should scorn this creed which numbs; I should change it round and say, "All things wait to him who comes!" I would rather dig right in, I would war with chance and see If I can not quickly win. Waiting's easy, that' a fact— Loafers like to twirl their thumbs; But achievement thus is backed— All things wait to him who comes! Waiting's for the men who fail; Winners try through storm and stress. Stubborn striving must avail In the struggle for success! 'Tis by effort strong and true That the wheel of progress hums. Therefore, friend, I say to you, All things wait to him who comes! —Chicago News.

H. NORDHOFF Vice-President and General Manager Bon Marche. W. E. Schrecker, who was a star witness for the state in the former trial of Jacob Furth and other Se- attle bankers, when put on the witness stand one day this week refused to say one word about the case, thus taking advantage of his constitutional rights. If Mr. Schrecker is really protecting his own rights he is to be commended, but if he knows anything that is erim- inal on the part of Mr. Furth in connection with the failure of that bank, or any one else, he should tell the court all about it, but it is the opinion of this paper he knows nothing that would incriminate Jacob Furth only with persons who are desirous of seeing him convicted, whether guilty o rinnocent. F. A. McDonald may be Seattle’s next postmaster, but if he is, it will be after he has made the fight of his life for the same. The state compact between Todd and Pattison has been rent asunder and the presi- dent seems to have no desire to be drawn into the scramble for office, and so he will take his abided time in naming a successor to George F. Russell. It is a safe bet that Woodrow Wilson will be much nearer a Republican at the expiration of his four year term than he will be a Democrat and in the opinion of the writer he will be re-elected by Republicans taking the lead in his interest. EY George W. Boggs, a former treasurer of Taco- ma, who was sent to the state penitentiary for a num- ber of years for defaulting, is now accused in Port- land, Oregon, of issuing bad checks with malicious in- tent. It’s hard to break the habit. J. A. Falconer, one of the Progressive representa- tives from Washington, is said to have announced his intention of making a fight for the United States sen- ate to succeed Wesley L. Jones. Alex Falconer is probably drunk over past success and is going to give up a reasonably sure thing to get into a very uncer- tain fight. He may be able to defeat Jones, but The Seattle Republican seriously doubts it. FRANK MeDERMOTT President of the Bon Marche. Perhaps never in the history of the United States has a mercantile establishment grown as rapidly as has the Bon Marche of Seattle. Twenty years ago it was operated by its founder, Mr. Nord- hoff in that part of the city known as Belltown with a couple of clerks. Even then it showed signs of push and pluck and hundreds of persons walked rca i ZO ae STA aE Sa THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Dan E. Lesh, a former state senator from Yakima county has been a visitor in the city for the past week. In the past Mr. Lesh always argued‘ ‘‘good times and Republican doctrines were synonymous and Democ- racy was the harbinger of distress and dogmas,’’ but he now thinks Wilson Democracy means an era of pros- perity of the kind the country has never before en- joyed. He is not exactly a Demoeratie convert, but he is no longer a disciple of the kind of a protective tariff that has permitted the trusts to fatten at the expense of the people, Sam H. Nichols, one of the states most peculiar political characters is dead. ‘‘Peculiar political char- 4) F % , NS ri SAM H. NICHOLS acter’’ is said advisedly, for he managed to ‘‘beef’’ himself into some kind of political job the most of the time he lived in the state, and he had similar suc- to the north end to get a bargain from the Bon Marche. It subsequently moved to its present loca- tion and since that time it has grown by leaps and bounds until it is now the largest retail mercantile establishment west of the Missouri River. It is now far too large for its present location and its ener- getic, as well as enterprising proprietors have just i a aU NL rH cess in. Minnesota. He was a political protege of A. S. Taylor, who was permitted at a state conven- tion by the John L, Wilson faction of the Republican party to nominate him without opposition for sec- retary of state. He was renominated by the direct primary vote, but by that time the Wilson faction had turned against him and exposed his official career, which was rather corrupt, and he resigned to avoid prosecution. Gen. G. W. Tibbetts, who for the past six years has been superintendent of the Old Soldiers’ Home at Orting. is said to be ready and willing to retire at the pleasure of the governor, and as soon as relieved he will return to his former home at Issaquah and again enter the general mercantile business. Gen. Tibbetts was named for the position by Gov. Albert E. Mead and was strongly endorsed by the late John Lock- wood Wilson, with whom he was always on the closest personal relations. He probably will never again seek political honors. He has given the home one of the best, if not the very best, administrations it has ever had. D. E, Dugdale has been given a tip that his team is going to win the penant the coming season through the cellar door route instead of through the chimney. The fans watched his players last Sunday and 7,000 of them voted Dug’s Giants mere pigmies. They played a school boys’ game from beginning to end, and if Dug had have taken the bunch of them one by one across his knees and spanked them until stand- ing would have been more pleasant than sitting, he would have done them a favor. To be sure the American Giants put up a good game, but the Seattle Giants put up such a poor game that the former lost all interest in the game. Mr. Dugdale, your team “ain’t worth shucks.’’ A. G. McBride is a great fighter in the courts and seldom ever goes down for the count, but not long since closed a deal for a whole block of property, a block north of its present location and will erect there- on a seven story building, which will make the Bon Marché favorably compare with Chicago’s most mam- moth mercantile emporiums.

Somt months ago he took it into his head that C. A. Pryor should not go to state prison, and though he has been under sentence for two years, yet so far as Mr. McBride knew, he was still in the county jail. Wanting to consult him as to his case, he called at the county jail to see his man only to learn that Pryor was doing time at Monroe. He not only had double fits, but one fit after another, until he had completely exhausted his supply of legal fits. Prior is back in the county jail none the worse from his experience, while McBride shakes his head knowingly. Charles S. Reed, who has been in the employee of the state since the McBride administration, leaves within a few days for Stillwater, Minnesota, to become the superintendent of the state prison. Charley Reed has had wonderful success in his prison work and if he continues to progress in the future as rapidly as he has in the past it is only a matter of a very short time before he will enjoy an international reputation on prison reform. The unfortunate who wants to atone for the past is always given the glad hand by Mr. Reed. George Edward Adams is to go back to prison and get good again. For years before his first visit it took every friend he had to work over-time to keep him out of prison, and in spite of them he broke in. After a few years of cleansing and purifying he was set free and thought to be completely absolved from the evil spirit, but not so, for he laid plans while feigning absolution that soon blasted his future and now George is looked upon as a habitual criminal. Men of his turn of mind just can not be good, and the world is better off with them under lock and key. It should be no surprise if, after serving his seven years and is released, that he commit some crime a few weeks after being set free. Ortis Hamilton is said to be making good since his release from prison. So far as the general public is concerned his whereabouts is unknown, and he is being treated as though he had never fallen from grace. Hamilton seemingly is not a criminal at heart and with the aid of sympathetic friends in a few months he himself will have forgotten his bitter ex- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN perience. The man or woman who sins and suffers and then makes good should be held in the same high esteem as if he or she had never fallen at all. He took his medicine like a man and saw the error of his way and profited by his experience. Would that George Edward Adams could have been similarly touched by Him who doeth all things well. There can be little doubt but that he has been most happy who has, throughout life, thought himself to be so; for, of all feelings, that of happiness is most naturally influenced by the sentiment of one's mind. A man may think himself a Solomon in wisdom, a Socrates in philosophy, a Solon in discernment, and yet be a half-wit. He may consider himself in strength the equal of Hercules, of Samson, or of Sandow the Great, and yet he puny of fiber, with a deltoid like a bantam hen and a serratus magnus like the muscle of a katydid. He may esteem himself in art the peer of Raphael, of Corregio or of Murillo, and, in fact be not able to surpass a vulgar daub. He may even consider himself wealthy, only to find, when he launches into a greater world, tha this slender purse, so satisfactory in Salt Creek, Ark., is a mere molehill in Newport or on Wall Street. But in the matter of happiness his judgment is supreme. If he thinks himself as happy as any man who ever lived, he is, and no man can gainsay him. The reason for this is not far to seek nor difficult to find. Wisdom, health, ability and kindred things to be desired are only partially under the control of one's thought, but the measure of a man's happiness is entirely in his own mind. One is wise, or strong, or talented, in comparison with others. He is happy in and of himself. His peace of mind is not to be reckoned by any outside standards. It is strictl yan internal matter, and, as such, it is entirely and absolutely within his own control. He may be poor in purse, sickly in body, destitute of friends, mediocre in talent; yet if he does but possess the will to be happy, no hunger, or rags, or ill health can interfere with the decree of his mind. Thus it is that men have sung psalms in prison, jested over a cruse of oil and spoken cheerily within sound of the hammer at a sheriff's sale. Thus it is that a poor invalid, prostrate upon her back for 40 years, has been known to radiate sunshine throughout an entire city, or an unlettered blacksmith has bound a thousand neighbors to him with fetters of good will more strong than any he has ever shaped of brass, and thus it is that a merry shoemaker gets from life and gives to it more than a sour millionaire.—Harlan Read. SEATTLE THEATRE "The Ne'er Do Well." Of interest to local theatre-goers is Rex Beach's plat "The Ne'er Do Well," which will be the offering at the Seattle Theatre for one week commencing Monday night, April 14. This play is sure of a hearty welcome here. It is doubtful if any local lover of romance has not read the story, for it has had a sale as large as that of "David Harum." This enormous popularity did not come about by chance. Mr. Beach has given us one of the most charming love stories that American literature can boast of; his hero is a type of American manhood that should live in popularity for all time. The play has been dramatized from the novel by the master of American playwrights, Chris Klein, and he succeeded in preserving the value of the original story, making the play one of the most successful that has ever been produced in this country. It pleased New York and Chicago tremendously, running over a year in each city.
