CHRISTMAS ISSUE OF THE SAT
URDAY MAIL.
a Wee Adv.

The Christmas number of the Mail
was a worthy effort of Juvenile edit
ors and journalistic canvassers. Any
active boy or girl of eighteen or TWEEN
ty could have performed a similar
task. 1t represents the work of an
apprentice in thought and that or
mule in physical labor The advertis-
ers got the worth of their money, the
readers get nothing. The extensive
space devoted to the Times shows it
to be an adjunct of that paper, as the
Argus is to the P.-I It's commonplace
contributions range from Gov. Rogers
down to one of the most notorious di-
vorcees" on Puget Sound. This adds
notOriety, but not responsibility to the
paper. This young aspirant in his
journalistic ambitions, dressed in a
white chOker, looks as if he had just
jumped out of a bandboX in a milli
merry store, from amongst the women;
the tone and makeup of his paper is
womanish, and it's moral fOrmalities
bear the indelible stamp of effeminate
ideals. In support of this assertion
we will do the lad justice, unless Ian
guage fails to describe extravagant
pretentions associated with inferior
ability. In this vast bulk of paper
with its numerous ads, we fail to
find a single advertisement pertain
ing to breweries, wine dealers or sa-
looms. The words beer or wine do not
appear in the whole of its forty pages
and this editor shakes hands with
himself no doubt for presenting a
clean paper, based upon a total disre-
gard of one of the principal indus
tries in the state.
A clean paper? First we notice the
quack doctors ad. in more than one
place with glaring headlines, which is
too common for our moral or physical
health; it reads, Diseases of Women,
Ladies' Specialists etc. Second, A
whole column from the divorce mill.
These advertisements of the quack
doctor and the Divorce Mill' repre-
sent more filth and more crime than
all the saloons and bawdy houses in
the state put together.
A whole page is devoted to what is
enormously of feloniously called
Washington Women" and the first
Christmas mockery on this page be-
gins with: Jesus Our King" A
crowd of women who boast of their
undomesticated ambitions and de-
sires for mans prerogatives are not
very close to Jesus" The Chinook
names of two of these notorious wom-
ems club provOkes mirth. The Hiyu
Wawa Club" and the "Cultus Club"
The ass-jenny ass blew the flute by
accident when these Chinook" names
were selected. Hiyu Wawa is certain
ly a womanish trait, as it means lots
of jaw" And the word "Cultus"
means useless" OF the fifty-ive
"woman's clubs in this state, with
their pretentious names, the two
Chinook names" are the most consis
tent for "woman's clubs. Consistency
is a jewel, no matter where it appears,
but "mockery" and sophistry is cor
rupting wherever it appears.
We have to much respect for
Washington Women"-not the club
women however-to charge them with
serving the devil under the banner of
Christ. If a gang of mannish wom-
en- should presume to call them
selves Washington Men" they would
become the laughing stock of the
whole commonwealth, as they should
be. Upon what equitable grounds,
then. do a few demoralizing club hunt
ers call themselves Washington
Women" We notice the ad. of one
hotel which sayes that: it is close to
the churches and has no bar, and yet
the moral landlord of this hotel with
NO BAR had to answer in court the
other day for buncoing a man out of
$4,000 in poker game. There's moth
ing like running a clean paper"
