When King Meets
The most powerful - king that France ever had
once convulsed Europe with a war because some ob
scure printers in Amsterdam published a pamphlet
which he didn't like, r . . , t .
HB So it wasn't a wholly new thought which Alphon-
the .sprightly king of Spain, uttered to his min
§|iter|the other day when, ;as they were j watching a
perfecting press in a MadricTnewspaper shop throw-
out "the drops of ink which make millions
Jthink," he said: '■-.'- -r-l .''-, . ■'- :"• ••> / ryX:ii .
"All, these are-the machines for roasting poli
ticians!" "?.y> *"■."'-■"':■'. ■ •'■ "■■-'"■'■ *
Just the same, that visit of the king of Spam to
the office of Imparcial had in it a lot of symbolic
S significance. i Much more significant than the visits
which kings ; usually make to ; kings. For in that
smelly print shop Alphbnso stood before the throne
of the real sovereign of today.
But it's also significant that the same age which
has almost made mince meat of the divine right of
the flesh-and-blood kings iis beginning to show its ,
teeth rather ominously toward the usurpations of the I
newer type of sovereign, the printing press. ,
With all his power, Alhponso cannot, by a wave
of his hand, as could so many of his predecessors, de
cree the chopping off of an offending subject's head
or plunge his country, as did Louis XIV of France,
into the miseries of wars conceived in his own or a
royal mistress' pique.
And by the same token the editor who swings his
power as a despot and not as a servant is coming in-
similar repudiation. Only the other day, to cite
a timely illustration, a nail was driven into the eof-
J*in of I journalistic absolutism when the supreme
court of the United States ruled that congress had
the power to make newspapers disclose who owned
and | controlled them, how far they circulated and
to brand ;so that all eyes might see the advertise
ments which many of. them formerly sneaked
through in the guise of "pure reading matter."
We said the press at which Alphonso marveled
was the real sovereign of today. That needs qualifi
(jation. It is sovereign only as it expresses and
''serves the common will and hope of the people.
« BUT LET IT TRY TO DICTATE OR DECEIVE
AND ITS TENURE OF POWER BECOMES, WE
ARE GLAD TO SAY, INCREASINGLY UNCER
TAIN. ■vv^r,
It was a good thing for those two kings to get
better acquainted and it would be well if they and
their ilk elsewhere should meet to compare notes
oftener. Both are on shaky thrones. Both will need
tfo be < pretty careful how they handle the power in
vested in them if they are to negotiate in safety the
whirlpool rapids of democracy's swirling advance
during the next 25 years.
A New : Era II
;^The; World's Christian Citizenship conference is
on this week at Portland, next week the National
_Oharities : and Correction congress will assemble at
Seattle, and the following week the World's Chris
tian Endeavor convention will meet at Los Angeles.
The coast is. certainly getting some great moral
aspiration on this the anniversary months of the
nation's birth. , "
But the dominant note of all these conventions is
the same—a more faithful application of moral prin
ciples to political action; the gearing up to the gov
ernment of the power of a Christian civilization.
The zeal with which the great moral and political
problems of the nation are being tackled is the re
markable thing of the year. It indicates that the
nation is on the eve of a great political revolution in
which morals will be the dominant note, such as the
passed through in the sixties when the ques
tion of | slavery was shaking the very foundations
of the government. ,
At the home of Mrs. J. Q. Mason last night prom
inent sociological workers pointed out that even the
| financial success of the nation and of a community
depends on a proper adjustment of moral conditions.
commercial clubs and boards of trade must be
gin to work for moral uplift if they would garner new
|citizens""and pile up prosperity, it was declared.
ll|»This is rather a radical departure from the old idea.
It has been the accepted status that civic and booster
organizations must'wink at anything that will bring
anybody to town any time and get him to loosen from
his dollar, no matter by what means.
The fact of the matter is that the masses of the
people in the years past have been better than their
governments. But their virtue got no expression hi
government •because of the misrepresentation of pol
iticians. Now that the power of the politicians is
waning and the J people are coming into their own
they are beginninglto discuss ways and means for
putting their morality into action.
Things look mighty good for the people of this
country in the near future. ;^ .

Keep women away from the polls
For the sake of their lily-white souls.
Forever forbid them to roam
For the sake of the washtubs at home,
Let 'em tend to the clothes and the grub,
Let 'em dust, let 'em bake, let 'em scrub,
Let 'em raise up the girls and the boys.
Let 'em share all your troubles and joys,
But we beg, with a sob in our throat,
Don't give 'em, don't give 'em the vote,
For they might interfere if you please,
With the three great political "B's,"
Whose graft we'd be sorry to lose —
Breweries, Brothels and Booze!
Keep women away fro m the polls.
They vex and they trouble our souls,
The home is their foreordained place
■Which they deck with their beauty and graces
If you go and you give 'em the vote
They'll start to get after our goat
In a wholly undignified way,
Which ain't like a lady, we say.
So we beg, with a sob in the throat,
JDon't give 'em, don't give 'em the vote.
They'd never give comfort or ease
To the three great political "B's"
Whose graft we'd be sorry to lose.
Breweries, Brothels and Booze!

The 1912 Pendleton Round-Up

houses and it is evident that
these pictures are proving popu

wonderfully clear considering the
difficulties under which they

Thomas' New Play.
The offering at the Tacoma the
ater Saturday night is John Ma
son in Augustus Thomas' remark
able play, "As a Man Thinks."
Mr. Thomas is profoundly in sym
pathy with the science that
teaches us that man is what he
thinks, and in his new play the
author makos it most vital for
his characters, swayed by igentle
old Dr. Seelig, to tihlnk properly.
At the Tacoma theater next
Sunday and Monday nights, Lew
Fields' all-star "Hanky Panky"
will hold the boards.
This jumble of jollification con
tains the names of many of vau
deville's headliners on its roster.
Max Rogers and Christine Niel
son being about the only two who
have not, as yet, succumbed to the
lure of the mighty dollar which
has been potent in winning so
many converts to the vaudeville
standard.
"Montgomery and Moore," Har

Clay Smith are among the better
known vaudevillians now incor
porated in the Lew Fields' mon

The Great
Summer Drink
Is beer. Good, wholesome beer. Every
where you go you will will find good,
wholesome people enjoying it.
The reason is not hard to find, for good
beer quenches the thirst more successfully
than any other manufactured beverage.
That is the first requisite of a hot weather
drink. And besides, there is something
"substantial" about it that does not obtain
in other drinks. .^
That is because it has "body"—a good food
foundation.
