schools having a flag-, and resentful

to haul it down at sunset. We applaud
when the band plays "Dixie" and choke
up over a line of Civil War veterans
moving through the streets on Decora

But are we an honestly patriotic peo
ple, in that we are zealous for the coun
try's welfare? A sincerely and unsel
fishly patriotic Nation? No.
Are w even a, grimly earnest and
determined Nation? No.
Are we even a dominant Nation, ex
pressing its will through its representa
tives? No.
Think of this last question a moment.
Does -anyone believe that the American
people, or even a majority of the Amer
ican people, are satisfied with condi
tions as they exist today? With the
Mexican situation? With our position
toward Europe and its insolent attitude
to us? With the Indian question? With
the tariff? With our Army and Navy
problem?
This is not a criticism of the present
Administration, for it is true of the
one before, and of the one before that.
3t Is a criticism of the American peo
ple. Of what avail discontent and
mouth ings? Uneasiness and unrest?
Continual bickerings and the substitut

better? "Zealous for the National wel

rather a slothful people in a. public

centred, selfish and complaining peo
ple.

will not rise en masse, be sure gpf that.

best of us, will enlist. We rather like
a fight, although our National tendency
is to balance principle against expe
diency. We defied Spain, you remem
ber, most courageously, and we have
Tiever taken any nonsense when it came
to the Barbary States, or Venezuela, or
Kan Domingo.
Patriots or sluggards which ? A liv
ing Americanism or a dead? It is not
a matter of political party. It is a
matter of a free people, whose legis
latorsexpress" the public will: or a
bound people, as in the past, slaves of
a pernicious indolence and a pernicious
activity; a people that has spent, of
its own money, $150,000,000 in 10 years
for defense, and has little or nothing
to show for it; a people that took six
days to send a handful of men over
the Mexican border in pursuit of a
bandit who had murdered American 1
citizens. A people a certain part of I
whose population In the Middle West
votes against preparedness becatise its
location makes it immune from in-
vasion. !
We are peculiarly governed. We put !
all our eggs in one basket. Once every
four years the American eagle screams
and tle dinner pail waves, and we
elect a new President. For four years
that President is our Czar. What he
does we must abide by. The result is
a one-man Government, where each in
coming ruler inherits the sins, the
weaknesses and political errors of his
predecessors. Such an unstable Govern
ment carries in its train unstable
finances, unstable foreign relations, un
Btable commerce.
PreparrdneM Made by Compromlxe.
The President's preparedness pro
gramme is not what he wants. It is a
compromise; a half-way measure be
tween what is needed, and what there
Is a chance of getting.
Perhaps Theodore Roosevelt knew
the way to handle us. He realized that
it required a crisis to rouse us. There
fore, he forced issues. If foreign na
tions failed to meet his demands he
could throw the burden on the people.
And we would probably meet it. Slowly,
of course, and at great and unnecessary
cost.
Woodrow Wilson is more conserva
tive. He does not care to bluff, as we
call it. He would like to feel, not that1
he is forcing a crisis on us, but that
he is representing us. A follower, per
haps, not a leader; like the late William
McKinley. a man who feels the National
pulse, and. just now. finds it weak! But
he Is representing us.
We Have no Korelfcn Secret Service.
With every War Office of Europe
owning drawings up to date of our
forts, our roads, our railways; with
every modern nation, except ourselves,
depending on its secret service for
every move it makes, only ignorance
can undervalue the services of secret
agents. The reason Russia met with
its early defeats, in spite of its over
whelming armies, was because its
secret service was inadequate. In spite
or the menace of Germany, it had
poor force of German spies.
Today, by its system of espionage
and counter-espionage, Germany knows
oei ore me American people do our
next move In the game that is leading
us toward war. What do we know of
Germany ? What do we know of the
secret channels through which British
and h rench and Japanese statesmen
are today carrying on the real business
of nations? Nothing.
Ci-ImIh Fared, Blind, With Kmpiy llandn.
A proper secret service in Mexico,
and today we would have the bandit.
Villa.
A proper secret service in Japan and
our Pacific Coast would be bristling
with forts.
Today we are facing a great crisis,
blind and with empty hands.
All protests against armament are
founded on one belief, a conviction that
Is fundamental. Fundamental and
erroneous. This is the belief that
America attacked will rally a a whole
to the support of the Government.
But will it? The exact answer to
this is the quest ion. Will you go ?
Not your neighbor; not your son; not
your employes. Will you go? Over
age? You can drive an ambulance or
join the commissariat in some capacity.
You can operate a searchlight to hunt
the heavens for aeroplanes or join
your local : constabulary to guard
bridges and railway lines against the
secret operations of spies.
Will you go?
That is the answer. Not. whether
you can shoot, or ride a horse, or
march so many miles a day.
Will you even try to go?
I wonder.
A certain percentage will go. And
because of our great population that .
in De no mean army. But will one
man in ten go, or offer to go? Are'
we even one-tenth patriots?
Bent Will Be .Sacrificed.
A certain number of rnen will go out
at once. Will go and be sacrificed. The
flower of England went first and died,
while the ones who held back were
slowly making up their minds and
being trained. We will sacrifice our
regular Army first and with them we
will send to death our best, bur uni
versity men, our boys of blood and
fire, our patriots.
Then, in a year or two years, we will
awaken from our sleep. But in the
meantime, what?
And here we cannot ignore the ques
tion of our foreign population and its
attitude, present and future; not neces
sarily our German population. The
German-born regiments in the Civil
War fought nobly. What of these

KLAMATH FALLS, Or., May 6.
i Special.) C. B. Crisler, elected
Mayor of this city last week, is
about 50 years of age, and is a
pioneer resident of Klamath
County. He operated a large
ranch near Fort Klamath for
many years, moving here 1 0 or
12 years ago. He then entered
the meat business, and from that
branched out into stock raising
and ranching. He has been as
sociated for several years in
ranching, and very successfully,
with Harry stilts, of this city.
Mr. Crisler also became inter
ested In the lumber business after
moving to Klamath Falls, and
now is a heavy stockholder and
president of the Kwauna Box
Company, of this city.
Poles and Slavs and Lithuanians? These
Greeks and Syrians and Italians and
Russians? Have they come in pursuit
of the ideal of liberty, or have they
come here to labor and to live by their
labor? The answer is obvious. They
will not enlist. They are not good
patriots as yet, because they have not
had time to become good Americans.
As a class they are not even good
citizens. Ou r foreign slums are in
tolerably dirty. A poor citizen cannot
be a good patriot. Our police records
prove that the vast majority of crimes
against the law and order of the
country are committed by our unas
similated foreign-born popu la t ion.

NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. May 6.
(Special.) Following is a synopsis of
the platform adopted at the tatc Re
publican convention :
"The Republican party of the state
of Washington, in convention assem
bled, affirms its faith in. and allegiance
to. the great principles of government.
social order and progressive legisla
tion for "which it has always stood.
"The results of three years of con
trol of the National and state govern
ments by the Democratic party demon
strate the necessity for a speedy re
turn of the control to a united Re
publican party. The honor of the
Nation and state, at home and abroad;
the prosperity of our citizens and the
preparedness of the Nation are in
separably linked with the success of !
the Republican party. We ask for the!
party's return to power with the firm
conviction that therewith will be
vouchsafed to the people that Individu
al state and National prosperity which
they have always enjoyed under Re
publican rule.
"We pledge ourselves to the support
of a patriotic and forward-facing
Americanism. The Republican party
stands for American principles of Gov
ern men t ; for the full rights and privi
leges of American citizenship; for the
defense of America and Americans
against attack from any quarter what
soever; for the welfare of American
business and for the protection of
American labor; for a friendly attitude
of government toward legitimate busi
ness, but above all, for those enduring
principles of National honor, of liberty,
of justice and of fidelity to National
obligations. through adherence to
which the Nation has grow n great.
Prfparedncim Iff d roratrd.
"Believing that the best guarantee of
peace is preparedness and that the
burden of such prepafedness should
be borne by all. regardless of station
in life, we favor:
"First A Navy as large and as well
equipped and manned as that of any
other nation.
"Second That half the fighting
strength of such Navy be stationed on
the Pacific Coast.
"Third A standing Army adequate
to protect our interests and maintain
our dignity on the American continent.
"Fourth Military trainng under
some plan similar to that of he tSwiss
Republic, conpulsory to all physically
Qualified males between the ages of 17
and 20 years, but calling for service
only in case of foreign invasion.
"We condemn the Democratic Admin
istration for its uncertain, inconsistent
and irresponsible interference in the
affairs of Mexico. This has led to the
loss of life and property of American
citizens not only in Mexico but on our
own soil.
"The ownership of the Panama Canal
and our complete and exclusive right of
sovereignty over it are not open to
question. We reiterate our belief in the
wisdom and justice of the act exempt
ing American coastwise ships from the
payment of tolls in the use of the
Panama Canal, and we not only con
demn the present National Administra
tion for its direct violation of its plat
form regarding free tolls, but we vig
orously condemn the Democratic party
for its cowardly surrender of American
sovereignty over this great waterway.
Tariff Law Vrxed.
"We favor an expert tariff commis
sion authorized to recommend tariffs
which will protect American labor and
develop American industries. Pending
the creation of such commission, we
favor the immediate enactment of a
protective tariff law based on these
principles.
"We favor a sound and adequate sys
tem of rural credits, the promotion of
agricultural knowledge, a more effi
cient and cheaper system of marketing I
farm products, and better facilities for,
transportation by land and water, in
cluding good roads.
W e favor measures for the encour
agement of shipbuilding and for the
creation of an adequate merchant ma
rine. "We condemn the Democratic Admin
istration for driving American mer
chantmen from the Pacific Ocean.
"We favor a radical modification of
the so-called seamen's act. to the end
that our shipping business shall not
be needlessly handicapped or ham
pered. "We indorse the principle of National
women's suffrage, and we favor the ex
tension of the right of franchise to
women.
"We request the next Legislature to
submit to the people of the state the
question of calling a constitutional con
vention. Wage Arbitration Commended.
"We favor arbitration in industrial
disputes where questions of wages or
hours of service are involved. Kspe
cially should this apply where public
service corporations are parties to the
disputes. The Republican party re-
erts its steadfast opposition to the
child labor evil, and pledges itself to
further remedy the same, both by state
and National legislation.
We condemn the Democratic Gov
ernor of the state for vetoing bills
which were intended to purify election
and prevent frauds in direct legislation.
to which the highest court of the state
has called specific attention.
"We recommend to the electors of
the state that they sustain by their
vote the action of the Legislature on
the above-referred bills.
"In the administration of the busi
ness of the state, a Democratic Gov
ernor has demonstrated his unfitness
as an executive. The records of ex
penditures disprove his claims of econ
omies. His inattention to his executive
duties, due to his attendance on social
and political functions, make him di
rectly responsible for the inefficient.
careless and criminal methods pursued
in his industrial insurance department.
His appointments of the Industrial In
surance Commissioners, the Agricul
tural Commissioner and late Highway
Commissioner and a superintendent of
the Boys Training School demonstrate
a lack of ability to select competent
men to manage state departments.

and alternates and one Presidential
elector each. When the afternoon ces

secure representation on "the big four,"
which represented, in the original plans,

Insurgents Are Overwhelmed.
This move threatened either Scott C
Hone, of Seattle, or E. A. Sims, of Port
Townsend. and, although the Bone-Sims
forces have -not been closely allied
heretofore, they united to fight a com
mon danger. The Fifth District re
fused to swing in line for their brother

only 130 votes, with 602 against them,

After district delegates had been de

man placed in nomination for delegMte-at-large,
National Committeeman Per
kins asked for the floor and made the
totally .unexpected announcement that
to establish the precedent that the
state chairman aLways should be made
a member of the delegation to the Na
tional convention, he asked leave to re
tire In favor of Sir. Hartson. He was
greeted by marked applause.
"That will, besides, settle the ques
, tion of division of delegates between
Kastern and Western Washington," Mr.
Perkins reminded the convention, "be
cause Mr. Hartson originally was ap
pointed to office from Spokane and
should be held to preserve a legal resi
dence there."
State Chairman Accept.
Mr. Hartson accepted the nomination
and Charles P. Lund, of Spokane, fol-
owed with his motion for the indorse
ment by the convention of Mr. Perkins
for re-election as National Committee
man by the delegation to Chicago.
