during which our country has labored

asserted.
The governor predicted a repub
lican victory at the next election.
"This means that we are to be re
lieved of leadership that haa followed
unsafe policies and indulged in de
ceitful slogans," he asserted.
The democratic party, the governor
declared, has failed to live up to its
promise to reduce the cost of living.
He advocated elimination of war time
boards, commissions and bureaus In
order to reduce the cost of adminis
tration.
Definite Policies Required
"This is a time for well-defined
policies and strong men to 'enforce
them," the governor said. "No longer
shall our country be subjected to the
rule of a party that has made the
public welfare a pawn to be used to
perpetuate Itself In power." ,
The Washington state republican
central committee, in session here to
day, unanimously Indorsed the candi
dacy for the republican preaidentlal
nomination of Senator Miles Poin
dexter and selected Bellingham as the
place and April 27 as the date for the
1920 republican state convention.
Pledge inked of Solons.
The committee also adopted a reso
lution Introduced by John Stuti of
Ferry county, expressing the wish of
the committee that legislators give a
written pledge that in case Governor
Hart should decide to call a special
session to ratify the federal suffrage
amendment, no other legislation
would be taken up. State Chairman
Sam A. Walker announced that he
would shortly appoint a platform
committee of 11, to outline a tenta
tive programme for the consideration
of the regular convention platform
committee.
Principal speakers at today's ses
sion of the committee were Mrs. Sarah
Flanagan, Spokane, who pleaded for
a campaign of education in citizen
ship; Mrs. Frances M. Haskell, Pierce
county, a member of the last legisla
ture; State Senator William Bishop,
Jefferson county, representing the
farmers; John S. McMillan, San Juan
county, and J. B. Kerwin, Clarke

dramatic maybe, and Inconsistent, but
while It's being enacted it is very
real. We laugh when Simon drives
sharp bargains and exult in his good
fortunes, we hate the brother and his
wife and do not forgive them until
Simon asks us to. -
A page full of writing could not
tell of the laughter and tears In War
field's characterization, the deep un
dercurrent's, of feeling, the wholesome
comedy. In a piece so splendidly fin
ished it is impossible to single out
for recounting any especial episode or
happening. His moments with the non-
hearing band he calls in to play at
the auction, the auction itself, his
ratification tete-a-tete with the in
toxicated Mrs. Egan on the stairs, his
set-tos with his enthusiastic young
clerk, his struggle Into his evening
clothes and his moments of authority
with his butler, all are memorable,
but not more so than two dozen
others.
Admirably artistic staging and welF-
judged lighting effects add to the
picture and a sense of reality per
vades it all. .
Of the excellent cast, the flawless
characterization of Marie Bates, as
the Irish Mrs. Egan, the natural and
effective portraiture of Jennie Mos
cowitz as Mrs. Levi, the unctuous
business-like Cohen played by Harry
Rogers and tire shimmying clerk
played by Harold Waldridge are
splendid gems of characterization. A
trio of gigglinn: eirls afforded a
touch of realism. The play will round
out tne week.

Hippodrome as to popularity, with
blue ribbons going to both. The pic
ture features that excellent film
artist. Big Bill Desmond, In a new
story called "The Blue Bandana,'
which centers around the activities
of a stage robber. The hero, an east

much time and energy on a Wall

west and begins to gather strength,
he finds himself an active participant

If Constipated, Bilious,
or Headachy, take
"Cascarets"'
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, or sour, gassy stomach
always trace this to torpid liver; de
layed, fermenting food In the bowels.
Poisonous matter clogged in tbe in
testines, instead of being cast out of
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes conges
tion and that dull, throbbing, sicken
ing headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
ttomacb, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

"After listening to evidence brought
out in a hearing last night before'
Earl Smith, county coroner, the jury
of six. men exonerated L. R. Dupree
from blame In conneotion with the
fatal running down of Ciro Sepe,
track employe of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power company, at the
intersection of Broadway and Will
iams avenue Wednesday morning.
The inquest was held in the court
house.
Dupree was driving a lumber-laden
truck when he struck Sepe, who was
engaged in greasing the trolley track.
Dupree maintained that an automo
bile was parked at the corner in such
manner as to shut off the view until
he was virtually upon the track work-i
er. Though this point was disputed
the jurors seemed convinced this was
the case.
Chief witnesses at the inquest were
H. E. Jessup and Harold Roger,
both of 335 Halsey street, dental stu
dents, who saw the accident.
The jurors made a recommendation
that track greasers should be pro
tected while at work by a red flag
on the pavement. After the finding
that the "accident was unavoidable"
the verdict continued: "We, the Jury,
recommend that all track greasers
should be protected by a red flag,
placed in the vioinity of their work."
Sepe was badly crushed when a
wheel of the truck passed over him
and expired while being taken to- a
hospital. Dupree, who is an auto
truckman, lives at 154 Russell street

houses which line the main highways
throughout California and to turn
them into fruit stands where ranchers

at once by the automobile association
and steps will be made to Interest the
ranchers in the project.
At many plaoes already the children
of the ranchers may be found lining

vided. The plan Is expected to meet
with Instant favor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Confi
dence that Europe's monetary, prob
lems will be settled satisfactorily "was
expressed today by Secretary Houston
in a review of the international
financial situation.
This country is constantly furnish
ing Europe capital with which to re
construct the 'economic life of na
tions there, said Mr. Houston, explaint
ing that advances are being made in
the same way that Europe aided this
country in time of depression in the
past, not by government loans so
much as by Indirect methods, such as
Drivate loans, eale of surplus army
equipment and the absorption of hlgn
grade investment securities offered
in markets here by European holders.
The secretary estimated that n-u
rope had received approximately $.
000.000,000 from this country since
the armistice was signed.
The position of the United States
treasury was said by the secretary to
be verv strong and on Monday th
last isii of "loan" certificates of
debtedness, about 160,000,000. will be
redeemed, leaving no outstanding
floating loan in the sense of short
term certificates requiring to be re
funded at maturity. Tax certificates
outstanding amount to $2,935,945,500,
all of which will be paid by forth
coming income and profits taxes.
Altogether, Secretary Houston failed
to agree with the pessimistic .view of
some public men, wno iorecasi a
financial crash and asserted that
while there are many difficulties stiU
to be overcome there was nothing in
the situation to be regarded as ex
tremely grave.
Cot irf Expenditure Cited.
Secretary Houston's statement fol
lows in part:
The rapid reduction of govern
ment expenditure and realization of
the surplus stocks accumulated for
war purposes nave Deen important
factors in making possible the reduc
tion of the floating debt and the
gross debt of the government in the
last five months.
'The result of the elimination of
loan certificates and the great reduc
tion in the floating debt and gross
ebt have both been contributed to
by the application to the payment of
loan certificates of an important part
of the balance In the general fund,
hlch it had been necessary to re
tain at a high figure as long as the
loan certificates were outstanding in
order to provide for these frequent
maturities and which it was possible
to reduce greatly In connection with
their retirement.
Further Borrowing Expected.
"Although the treasury will, of
course, be obliged to borrow from
time to time to meet the current de
ficit (which in January amounted to
less than !93,d00.000) in the intervals
between Income and profits tax in
stallment payments and the current
requirements of the war finance cor
poration, the -fact that the treasury
has no uncovered maturities is of im
mense importance. So long as the
treasury had certificates. of indebted
neas maturing In very large amounts
and on dates when it could only pro
vide the funds to meet them by fresh
borrowings, its position might under
certain circumstances have become
embarrassing (though it never did)
and it was consequently impossible
for the federal reserve board to ex
ert any effective control over credit.
Absorption Is Forecast.
"The position of the treasury to
day and the future of the market for
the outstanding . issues of liberty
bonds and. victory notes is very bright.
The whole color of the picture would,
of course,, be changed If congress
should embark upon new expenditures
on a large scale.
The whole problem today Is that
of giving the people time and will to
save capital sufficient to enable them
to absorb part of the war Issues
which is still owned or loaned upon
by banks and as well the flood of
securities which are being pressed
upon our markets from foreign
sources in consequence of the extreme
depression in European exchanges.
In that connection- it is interesting
to observe that the depression
high-grade investment securities in
this country at the present time is to
a very important extent the result of
heavy selling of such securities in
our markets from foreign sources.
Capital Fnrniahed Europe.
This, as Secretary Glass said in
his annual report, is one of the proc
esses which is stimulated by the very
position of the exchanges which It
tends to correct. By absorbing these
high-grade investment securities, the
American people are furnishing capi
tal to Europe at a time of Europe's
needs and are giving this help in
just the way that Europe helped
America in the period ' of America's
growth and of her own monetary
troubles.
In the days of the infancy of the
republic, In the days of our Civil, war
and of the period of reconstruction
after the Civil war, of the monetary
panics which we suffered at frequent
intervals until the establishment of
our federal reserve system, America
suffered greatly for lack of capital
nd credit and because of her de
preciated currency and, later, her In
elastic currency.
Aid to America Recalled.
In ' those -days Europe came to
America's aid, not by government
loans, not with any comprehensive I
Dlan. but by the investment of pri
vate capital upon attractive terms in
American enterprises and in the pur
chase ot American securities at bar
gain prices. Europe profited enor
mously by these lvestments, and
America profited, too, because she ob
tained the capital she needed at the
price that the capital was worth to
her. Honest and energetic business
men in both countries went to work
in their own way and solved the prob
lems on business terms.
- "Yet. in those days Europe was far
batter able to meet the relatively
small demand of America than is
America now, burdened as, she is by
government expenditures since the
beginning of the war to the aggre
gate amount of about 136.700,000,000,
to meet the stupendous demands of
Europe today.
"I am confident that the solution of
Europe's problems will be found by
the wisdom and courage of European
statesmen in facing the monetary dif
ficulties Imposed upon them by the
great war and by the enlightened,
sympathetic and friendly co-operation
of the business men and workmen o
America and Europe when peace is
restored and the hope and fear of
government interferences are re
moved." j
