In our last issue we called attention
to tbe statement of Mr. Davenport
tbat all the power of tne Seattle
Times would be turned against any
backward step. In this July 2
edition Jt says in small part:
"My paper fought its damnedest

economic grounds alone. We believed that in a great seaport city
with a population of upwards of

"Home Rule League," characterizing
tbat humbug organization as it
deserves. Assuming a name that

A Bruce Gibbs discussed the "Attitude of tne Church and Sunday
School to tbe Temperance Cause."
Ot course tbey can assume only one
consistent attitude, tbat of intense
hostility to the liquor traffic. The
saloon and Sunday School are alitrp
in one respect: They both require
tbe same raw material—bova, they
differ quite materially in the finished
product they turn out. Temperance
Sunday which would regularly come
on Nov. 12, will be observed tbe first
Sunday, on the 5th, thus coming
before election.
Tbe meeting was a good one and
doubtless productive of considerable
good.

Col. Geo. Harvey, editor of tba
North American Review, away back
in 1906 urged tbe nomination of
Woodrow Wilson for president aad
was one of bis most active supporters
four years ago. He baaed his action
on Mr. Wilson's words. He baa had
a fine opportunity In tbe past three
aud one half years to discover tbe
difference between words and deed*.
Io the current number of the Review
he gives his reasons for repudiating
Wilson and supporting Hughes.
After reviewing the record of tbe
Wilson administration, he says:
"It is neither the past nor tbe
present, but the immediate future,
that should bold first place in the
minds of American citizens at tbis
critical time Whether it was the
president, the Kaiser or the good
Lord wbo kept us oat of war is of
little moment. Tbe seeming fact that
whatever iikehood there may have
been of our being drawn into the
great conflict no longer exists suffices.
ODly the most insane partisan would
venture to suggest a possibility of
either Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hughes
Inciting or inviting war.
"The two vital questions to be
answered at tbe polls one month
hence are: Whicb of tbe two great
parties is tbe better equipped and
the more likelv to render the highest
public service? and, wbich of tbe two
designated leaders is the more certain
to'preserve, protect and defend; the
constitution of the United State*?
Brushing aside all minor consideration, we find the over powering iesnee
to be:
1. Military and industrial preparedness.
2. Government by and for the
people.
3. National honor and opportunity.
"Credit for ths provision of military enlargement may fairly be apportioned to tbe united opposition
which, under the invigorating
championship of Mr. Roosevelt,
aroused a public sentiment which
Mr. Wilson could not afford to ignore.
Adequate funds have been provided
at last and the program adopted is
pronounced satisfactory. But tbe
mere appropriation of large sums of
money does not suffice. Tbe question
now ia one of celerity and efficiency
in construction.
"Could Joaepbus Daniels build a
great navy in the shortest possible
time if he would? And would be if
be could."
"We answer tbat Mr. Daniels baa
neither tbe skill nor the will to
expend effectively great sums of
money for immediate protection.
Once let bim realize November 7 tbat
be is fixed irrevocably in authority
for another four years and delay wilt

Iu tbe issue of Sunday, July 2, a oonsiderahle portion of the space was taken up in discussing tbe lies circulated by the liquor interests concerning conditions in Seattle. We bave space oniy for a few extracts, In our last issue we called attention to tbe statement of Mr. Davenport tbat all the power of tne Seattle Times would be turned against any backward step. In this July 2 edition Jt says in small part: "My paper fought its damnedest against prohibition. We fought it on economic grounds alone. We believed that in a great seaport city with a population of upwards of S30.000, prohibition would be de structive; it would bring onecoDomic disaster We believed tbat under licencing saloons we traffic about as well it could be, and wilt alone, and so we as hard a9 we could ligbt spite nt all we could do as superintendent of tbis district WOMAN'S CLUB Of Farwell Met Tuesday At Palmer Home W.

We bave bad a month of it now. "And how bas it worked out? "We already know tbat it is a great benefit morally and from an economic standpoint. Its moral benefit bas been tremendous. Seattle had 335 saloons, and we bad about 1,600 arrests a month for crimes and misdemeanors growing out of liquor drinking. In January we had only 766 arrests and sixty of those were made January 1, and w*r* the result ot "hang-overs" from the old year. The year previous there war* 2,600 arrests in the same month.

Ot course tbey can assume only one consistent attitude, tbat of intense hostility to the liquor traffic. The saloon and Sunday School are alitrp in one respect: They both require tbe same raw material—bova, they differ quite materially in the finished product they turn out. Temperance Sunday which would regularly come on Nov. 12, will be observed tbe first Sunday, on the 5th, thus coming before election.

Harvey, editor of tba North American Review, away back in 1906 urged tbe nomination of Woodrow Wilson for president aad was one of bis most active supporters four years ago. He baaed his action on Mr. Wilson's words. He baa had a fine opportunity In tbe past three aud one half years to discover tbe difference between words and deed*. Io the current number of the Review he gives his reasons for repudiating Wilson and supporting Hughes. After reviewing the record of tbe Wilson administration, he says: "It is neither the past nor tbe present, but the immediate future, that should bold first place in the minds of American citizens at tbis critical time Whether it was the president, the Kaiser or the good Lord wbo kept us oat of war is of little moment. Tbe seeming fact that whatever iikehood there may have been of our being drawn into the great conflict no longer exists suffices. ODly the most insane partisan would venture to suggest a possibility of either Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hughes Inciting or inviting war. "The two vital questions to be answered at tbe polls one month hence are: Whicb of tbe two great parties is tbe better equipped and the more likelv to render the highest public service? and, wbich of tbe two designated leaders is the more certain to'preserve, protect and defend; the constitution of the United State*? Brushing aside all minor consideration, we find the over powering iesnee to be: 1. Military and industrial preparedness. 2. Government by and for the people. 3. National honor and opportunity. "Credit for ths provision of military enlargement may fairly be apportioned to tbe united opposition which, under the invigorating championship of Mr. Roosevelt, aroused a public sentiment which Mr. Wilson could not afford to ignore. Adequate funds have been provided at last and the program adopted is pronounced satisfactory. But tbe mere appropriation of large sums of money does not suffice. Tbe question now ia one of celerity and efficiency in construction. "Could Joaepbus Daniels build a great navy in the shortest possible time if he would? And would be if be could." "We answer tbat Mr. Daniels baa neither tbe skill nor the will to expend effectively great sums of money for immediate protection.
