Sena tor Hanna was not a scholar, but he was a thinker. He also embodied the fine qualities of the gentleman. But above all he was a great public servant As an employer of labor he wished to be Just to the laborer, As one Who stood, In a sense, for capital, he wished to be fair to capital. He knew well that no endeavor In the solution of the present Industrial crisis could be of permanent value unless it proved to be of benefit to "both capital and labor He was republican in politics, but he desired to use his partisan relationship for the benefit of all."

Seattle, Feb. 19. No less than 25 national guardsmen of Seattle recently offered their services to Japan In case that nation went to war with Russia, In a call upon Saburo Hlsamidzu. the Japanese consul at Seattle, that gentle man was formally notified of the fact Japanese laws do not permit foreign ers to enlist in her army or navy, and the young men were so told, but the consul notified the government of what had happened, citing it as evi dence of the good feelings cherished by Americans towards his nation. The talk of the war has been rife in the armory of Seattle's uational guard companies. In fact it has been the main topic of discussion. War fever begun to take hold and in a short time had become epidemic. Among officers and men the hope that hos tilities wouia DreaK out auickiy - was expressed each night. And coupled with this expression of hope was the wish that the speakers might get a chance to go to the front This finally resulted in action. The news that Japanese troop ships, man ned by European crews, had been taken irom me Mediterranean to tnat na tion's ports gave rise to the reports that these crews were to serve Japan In the coming war. When this report came the local national guardsmen thought they saw a good opportunity to get Into the lighting. As a result a quiet caucus among a few of the bolder spirit was held. And at this caucus It was decid ed to send an emissary to the Japan ese consul to offer enlistment, or at least to determine whether there would be a chance to get the acceptance of such an offer. The tender was received with cour tesy and with a spirit of gratification responsive to Its evidence of good feel Ing. But Saburo Hlsamidzu was com pelled to infor mhls visitors that ac ceptance would be impossible, owing to the laws of his country. He promts ed to send word to bis superiors of the fact, and to notify the caller should anything come of It Piano Tuner. For good, reliable piano work see your local tuner, Th.
