SEATTLE, Dec l.
To TwK EnfroR: am In sympathy with
the spirit Of ycar editorial this morning,
urging that We should nasoid antagenisnls'
in eur esiarts to improve the moral tone OF
our city and eularge the opportunities OF
warkiagmen. There Is no purpose nor
thought on the part Of the Ministerial AS

Lag ami Order League, or TO insist undaiy
upon any preference A. 10 order and

10 do this. and will relax 30 i0tA Of will or
persistent effort in this direction. It's aim
Is 20 attain this through the easorcemsnt OF
axistinE laws. and II these laws are not
enough. 10 do its best 10 secure others. We
say Of these laws: they can and must Re

quire ume 10 SO this. We are ready Il nesd

the practical difficulties which the authors-
