NOT OF OUR MAKING.
“II the l nited States has no more to do with the world’s
agonies than to look on as a spectator and profit by the in
creased trade, these warring nations will lose their sons, but
the l nited States will lost* its own soul,” said' Rev. John Mac
kay, principal of the Presbyterian Theological institute of Van
couver, B. before 4,000 persons in the Stadium Sunday
evening.
Like most other persons, we fear, Rev. Mr. Mackay is ru
man. We also fear lie is in error. Otherwise how could lie as
sume that the United States is gloatingly taking profits while
European sons are killing each other.
Inasmuch as Rev. Mr. Mackay is not the only man who
has made similar statements it might he well to reassert several
well known facts.
The United States did not start the war.
The United States offered its services as a mediator to all
parties, hut was refused.
The l nited States lias done nothing to prolong tin* Euro
pean war.
This country has sold, and is still selling, munitions of war
to 1h(‘ allies, and would sell them to the central powers if it
could he done. This is being done in accord with the adminis
tration’s interpretation of neutrality. Whatever may he the
feeling of a few—and we do not believe that we have any right
to interpret their feelings—the great majority of the people of
this country gladly would give up whatever prosperity they
may enjoy to see peace restored. Much has been said of the
American’s greed for money; much of it is false. *
“The United States might be justified in maintaining in
ternational neutrality, but no man or nation can maintain
moral neutrality. 1 nless righteousness and peace is put first
pjib lu* mi m»rmnn<»r»♦ nnano * ’ \f »•
1 I 1 --- --- —■ *. •
There were some of us at one time who thought we should
enter the conflict; others who didn’t. We have maintained
international neutrality. We suppose that practically every
man, woman and child in this country lias made up his mind,
one way or the other, on tin- moral issue.
Can tin- administration take a moral stand hostile to any
of the belligerents without actually breaking international neu
trality? Would not the diplomatic expression of disapproval
actually bring about a state of war? Would it not be an act of
warf
But the United States is a separate country. The war is
not of her making. Opposing sides are powerful and able to
take care of themselves.
Unfortunately, like all others who are near a fight, we art
aware of it. We can not help but know what is going on. And
st> because we are big and healthy we are blamed because we
are not weakening ourselves. We hope the war will soon be
over, but again we reiterate, it is not of our making.—Tacoma
News.
--:o:
The high tide of ammunition trade has passed, and big
eastern concerns have begun to lay off men in large numbers.
Tin- allies are now able to produce more nearly all that they
need. Tin- Dupont Company of Delaware has dropped 3,000
men and the Westinghouse company has dismissed' several
thousand men. What this country needs is a steadying force.
It wants a prosperity dependent not upon the temporary woes
of a neighbor, but upon a substantial home demand and a last
ing foreign trade. How shall we get those two things?
-:o:
Nominee Hunghes says he has been charged with a non
constructive bent of mind in his campaigning because he has
been attacking in a destructive way some of the acts of his op
ponents in Washington. To destroy an evil thing, even with
no suggestion of a substitute, often is a desirable purpose.
There are many wrongs for which he do not need substitutions.
Seattle has passed an ordinance which among other nega
tions provides that liquor cannot be carried to cafes by indi
viduals and there consumed. That is a reasonable ordinance,
intended to eliminate a growing custom that makes enforce
ment of the prohibition law very difficult.
--—-— ;o
It is easy to see a clever democratic scheme behind the at
tempt to force a vote in congress on the constitutional amend
mend for woman suffrage. With that out of the way the
Democrats would escape a serious stumbling block in the
campaign.
-.u.
Admiral von Tirpitz says that the development of Ger
manism after the war depends upon whether the empire and
not England can predominate in Flanders, and that depends
upon the allies’ ability to knock the German line into flinders.
-;0:
There may be fewer arrests of children in child labor
states, as Senator Overman asserts, but his statistics give no
figures on arrest of child development in those states.
---:o:
Transcontinental tours are of as much value in educating
candidates as to the greatness of the country as they are in
showing the country the greatness of the candidate.
-:o:
Life of the British parliament is being renewed so often
t1 • at it will soon outrival the most tenacious feline. Indeed, it
m ill be more like a tiger than the traditional lion.
-:o:
Every little clash between Japanese and Chinese soldiers
brings that much closer the cataclysm that is certain to shake
the Orient at no distant day.
-to:
Nominee Hughes’ bitter opposition to the ’’pork barrel”
has for its background the most extravagant congress the na
tion has known.
-:o:
Indications show that Germany is preparing for peace
with as much thoroughness ami energy as she prepared for
war.

According to announcements re
ceived on the recent boats from Seat
tle, President H. F. Alexander plan.'
a complete reorganization of the of
ficers of the Admiral line, effective
the first of next month, os a result of
its recent acquisition of the steamers
Harvard and Yale. With the charter
ing of the Yale and Harvard for the
company’s new San Francisco-South
ern California service, changes became
necessary because of the increase in
business to be handled.
The company’s freight and passen
ger departments, heretofore, operat
ed by one staff, is to be separated
hereafter, with K. G. McMicken, of
San Francisco, as general passenger
agent, and C. E. Flye, of Seattle, as
general freight agent. Flye hereto
fore has been head of both depart
ments, but with the Harvard and Yale
added to the fleet, the business of
each department will require undivid
ed attention.
McMicken will make his headquar
ters at San Francisco while Flye will
continue to make his headquarters :
in Seattle. McMicken formerly was
connected with the old Northwestern
Steamship Company in Seattle and
with the American Trading & Trans
portation Company. In recent years 1
he has been general passenger agent
of the North Pacific Steamship Com
pany of San Francisco.
Alexander also announced the ap
pointment of William Hannah, well
known as turbine expert of the Hn- '
ion Iron Works, to the new office of 1
superintending engineer in San Fran
cisco for the Admiral line. The Yale .
and Harvard are turbiners.
Capt. E. L. McNoble, for six years
superintendent of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company in Seattle, also
was appointed marine superintendent
of the Pai ific-Alaska Navigation Com
pany, the Admiral line, with head
quarters in San Francisco. The ap
pointment is effective September 1.
Captain McNoble will have charge
of the operation of the steamers Yale
*nd Harvard, recently chartered by
he l’acific-Alaska Navigation Corn
>any. He has been assistant superin
endent of the Great Northern Pacific
Steamship Company at San Francisco.
Capt. McNoble is one of the most
videly known steamship men on this
:oast.

Advertising
Not an Expense
ADVERTISING IS AN
INVESTMENT
Not An Expense, and Should Be Treated as Such,
Because It has been the habit of
some merchants to look upon It as an
expense, A WRONG VIEW HAS
BEEN GAINED. Perhaps the miscon
ception arose from the fact that In
bookkeeping It has been the habit to
charge advertising to expense.
ADVERTISING PRODUCES NEW
BUSINESS — It SWELLS THE VOL
UME OF BUSINESS AND PROFIT—
THEREFORE IT IS AN INVEST
MENT.
Only the man who looks upon ad
vertising as an expense, who la afraid
of it, prejudiced against It, loses
money In advertising.
THE MAN WHO TREATS ADVER
TISING AS AN INVESTMENT AND
GIVES IT THE ATTENTION AN IN
VESTMENT REQUIRES — KNOWS
THAT EVERY DOLLAR RIGHTLY
INVESTED IN THIS DIRECTION
YIELDS COMPOUND INTEREST —
AND MORE.
