UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON’S VICTORY.
The victory of tho University of Washington in
the rowing classic on the Hudson is not only a pleas
ing occurrence to those of the Far West but It will
result in commercial advantage to tho Pacific Coast.
It will call the attention of a class of people 'o the
country out here where the Eastern Ocean touches
the Wi:-t that could not be reached so well in an
othir way. It will attract the interest of the youth
of the land those who think most of college sports.
What manner of country Is that which supplies the
material that can come here and beat our young men
from a half-dozen of our greatest collcgese at our
own game, they will ask.
Scrutiny will disclose that the Washington Var
sity crew which defeated the cra'ck oarsmen of the
East, and the Washington Freshmen who tied the
best they had. are really and truly Washington crews.
There was no taint anywhere. Nearly all of the men
who participated are natives of the Pacific Slope, all;
of them were reared there, and the coach is a Clani
digger, born and bread. Even their style of rowing
was conceived and developed on Hake Washington.
There will lie scrutiny of the Northwest in sources
that herctc fore have given it little thought, and It
will disclose a wonderful country that is fast growing;
from great to greater importance. it is not at all
unlikely that many capable young men who first;
thought ecriously of the Northwest because of the!
npcctacular performance cf the Varsity and Freshmen
crews of the Unlverrty of Washington will be among'
its leading citizens a decade or so hence.
LOSSES THROUGH IKKfcSPONSIBLE
I V I PROMOTERS.
The New Ye rk Times says since the war ended
the public has lost about $3,000,000,000 by invest- j
ing in fraudulent securities through irresponsible
agents. Figure available in the bankruptcy courts
show that $150,000,000 has been lest in New York;
County alone rince November, 1921 through the fail
ure of brokerage houses.
Theso ure figures that explain the desire on the
part of the people In many States for blue sky laws.
However, the best protector of the pocket book is
its pooscesor, and those who are not sure about what
they are investing In should discuss matters with their
banker of lawyer before parting with their coin.
SPECIAL ELECTIONS INCONCLUSIVE.
Chairman Hull of the Democratic National Com
mittee takes great encouragement over the circum
stances that In tho special Congressional elections
this year Republican majorities are being cut down
from the majorities given the candidates of that
party last year, which, as he says, was a year in which
the Republican , Party was not running up to tho pr j-!
vailing standards of the four years before. He calls j
to the attention that the Republican majority in the)
Second Illinois District was cut from 20,000 In 1922!
to 14,000 in April, in the Eighth Iowa District it was'
cut frem ever 7,000 in 1922 to 1,000 a few weeks ago,
and in the Third Michigan District from more than!
8,000, in a year when (he Democrats elected a Sen
ator. to 326 last week
WJiilo these, taken with municipal elections In
Chicago, Baltimore, Denver and other towns, arc
draws, they are by no means conclusive. Special
Congrc ; tonal lections usual)’ bring out a small vote,
and to knew what they indicate one would have to
know tho circumstances of each,' case. Tho Illinois
District is wholly in Chicago and the election took
place on a day when tho Democrats swept tho city.
In Iowa and Michigan the elections occurred at a
time when the farmers were busy. It is easy to as
cumo that there was a larger percentage of the
laboring votes in the towns cast than ttiere was of
tlir agricultural votes and one cannot form con
clusions in the agricultural States unless he knows
whether or not there is a swing from one party to
til3 other among tlie farmers.
CANADA RETURNING TO TWO PARTY
SYSTEM.
• It may Im tr.o mm h to fay that the overwhelming
' Conservative victory in the Ontario Provincial elec
i tlcne mark? the di.-' ppearanco of the farm party_
Progres-lve, it is officially designated—in Canada,
but the indications are plain that it is the beginning
of the end of the time party political situation In
that country. While the return to the two party con
dition may nit be Immediate, it is likely that it will'
be the final result of the defeat of the Progressives;
in Ontario, the largest and most important of the
Uc min ion Province?.
The Progressive Party has a much larger repre
i/entation In the present Canadian Parliament than
tlie Can ervitivr Party, and it controls several Prov- '
inces Including those of the Prairies. It has con- 1
trailed Ontario since the last election, but Ontario
bas had enough, and has said so.
It would ibe folly for an American who hag not ]
been on the ground to attempt to explain the com
plete turn ever In Ontario. Not only was the radical
party doles ted but the middle-ground i^ibcrul Party It
(W overltHtjked in the Iransltion, the voters going all 11
the way to the Conservative Party, which was th!rd
In that Province in the voting at the late Immi- m
general election. One thing that suggests ir m
the circumstance that seemingly third parties uo not
thrive in the English speakng countries. They rise
frequently but usually are short lived. England has
four parties now—Conservative, or Unionist, Asquith
Liberal, George Liberal and Laborite, but already
there are signs that the Liberal factions will Eoon get to
gether, and l^aborites will not long be unale >rbed
by one or the other of the major parties if we are
to Judge the future by the past VVe have often had
third parties in the United States, but they have not
continued as formidable factors for long at a time.
The situation in Canada has been similar to that
in the United States.
Puilding costs have advanced four per cent, since
the middle of May according to New York engineer
ing papers. The Increase cost is due to advancing
wugos and material prices.
Now—one, two, three, and off In the fight for self
government!
Neglected Factor
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Many employers as well as others Interested in
business trends who see in the current labor shortage
a factor likely to impede continued business activity
have not taken Into account one of the mitigating
influences. Immigration in now at low ebb; six weeks
hence a very marked change in the situation will
doubtless be perceptible.
We arc now at the fag end of the “immigration
year." which like the fiscal year closes June 30. The
fluotas of the nations upon which we depend chiefly
for our new labor supplies are accordingly filled. On
July 1, however, the bars will be lowered and with
out any question whatever the high wage3 and
favorable employment conditions now obtaining here
will attract thous.ands of immigrants during the re
maining summer months.
In view of the fact that the peak demand for
labor almost invariably is felt in the summer months
it might be worth while to change the immigration
year to correspond with the calendar year or in any
event to correspond more closely with employment
opportunities in the United States. If the bulk of the I
immigration were to arrive between March and ,
November, for Instance, in years when the quotas
arc likely to be filled, recession In the winter months!
would net embarrass industry to the same extent !
as recession falling in April, May and June and the!
new arrivals would find conditions much more favor-1
able to immediate and profitable employment.
Certainly the exhaustion of quotas just at the!
season when labor could most readily find employ
ment is net to be defended. If friends of the present
restriction law make the most of their opportunity
they will alter it to make the months of favorable
employment conditions and those of heavy immigra
tion more nearly coincident thun they now are.
Greece and Turkey.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
Greece and Turkey never can keep peace between :
themselves for very long. They are always either j
fighting, coming out of a fight, or getting ready to
go into one. In a single-handed contest Greece is I
almost invariably beaten, but losing or winning makes]
little difference to either Greek or Turk. The Turk1
has reduced warfare to such a fine art that he can
metaphorically fight the enemy with one hand while
using the other to till the field or gather in the crops.]
lie can wage war for longer periods and on less money \
than any other man on earth. Give him coffee and!
cigarettes and the meal can wait until ho hab finished
a battle. The Greek must be fed, but he can fight on
very little.
At this istage it looks as though they may clash -
at any moment. Turkey emboldened by the tedious
delay at Lausanne, says that Greece must either pay
Indemnities or fight. Greece says that she. will light
rather than pay any indemnity. The Allies are look
ing on, and it is just possible that some of them are
really hoping for a conflict. They would not let
Turkey go too far into the territory of the Greeks,
and if the latter can put up a good fight It (will
materially help in compelling the Angora government
to come to torms at Lausanne.
White Eelephant.
(Philadelphia Bulletin.)
If Congrers, by refusing a subsidy, imagined that
itwas through with applications for Treasury aid to
the American merchant marine other than for the
operation and maintenance of the existing Govern
ment fleet, it will be disillusioned when it receives
from the Shipping Board a request for $34,000,000
for the construction of two new trans-Atlantic liners
to go on the run with the Leviathan.
The board has a good case. Unsurpassed ship as
It is, the Leviathan alone cannot function for a
whole fleet, and If Its service cannot be supple
mented by that of other vessels, comparable in comfort
and equipment, if not in size, to the flag ship, patron
age of the Government trans-Atlantic line will be
spotty, heavy when the trip back or forth can be made
on the Leviathan, light when the other vessels are
too far outclassed by foreign rivals.
It is, as the board contends, real economy to spend
$13,000,000 apiece on new lines rather than two
thirds of that mm on the Agamemnon and the Mt.
Vernon, which need reconditioning. Opponents of
Government aid have largely overlooked the fact that
the life of a ship is comparatively short and that In
a few years the existing tonnage, sometimes viewed
as a permanent war legacy, will have to be renewed
if America intends real competition on the seas. At
present these replacements as well as operation and
maintenance costs will have to be defrayed out of the
public treasury.
If you notice a cheerful smile on the face of
the Ultimate Consumer, it is because he has just
read the announcement by the Tariff Commission
that It will be ready next month to begin to investi
gate tlie duties on wall pickets and paint-brush
handles.—(New York Poet.)

About tlie only thing that the lives
of great men remind most of us

Most of the knocking people do
can be traced to sour grapes.
When a man guesses a woman's
age he makes his guess at least
10 years under what he really thinks
her age is. H\*t when another wo
man guesses It she adds ahout 10 or
20 years.
Men may never pay much atten
tion to dangerous curves—unless they
are on a pretty girl.
When a girl says her face is her
fortune It would be a breach of
etiquette to ask her if Bhe made
her own fortune.
About the last thing that seems
to Interest a young man in love is
whether the girl has the qualifica
tions for making a good wife—or
good biscuits.
Women are queer. When one of
them meets another woman with
whom she has had a fuss she'll
kiss her as sweet as can be. But
she never kisses her husband when
