The aCJnd floor was guttcd and the in

other girls are treated as we're the
Seattle girls, then all Of the other
girls in the system need to be treated
with. 1t looks as though the com
pany would at least give some ear to
the firms from which it is drawing
monthly large revenue and make
some pretense of respecting their
feelings in the matter. Mr.. Sabin
should not overlook the fact that the
men who pay the freight should at
some stage Of the game be consulted
on the amount they pay, and especi-
ally when the freight is being badly
handled.
It's a mistake on the part Of the
lapcr Il TO- organizations III putting
their noses in, an the hello girls"
had better handle the proffered aid
Of the labor unions rather gingerly
OF they will lose more than they vii
gain We are Of the opinion that the
men who spend two and often three
thirds Of their entire earnings in vile
saloons and do business three days in
a week and lie drunk the balance Of
the time, are rather poor advisers for
young ladies who are out trying to
earn an honest living for themselves
to keep from marrying such drunken
scapegraces. The young ladies had
better stick to the business men for
their support and steer aloof Of such
disturbers.
On the other hand the telephone
company would do well to mix up a
few grains of common reason with
their hotheadedness and listen to the
mutterings that it must hear in the
distance, which, if it continues to
gather strength, viii result in ruin
ing one of the finest telephone sys-
TENS in the West. An ounce of pre-
vention is worth a ton Of cure.

in the state, is badly handicapped
just now by the hallucination that
Seattle is the whole state of Wash
ington, and, consequently, that the
Republican nominee for governor
and nearly all the other state offices
must come from Seattle. The next
governor should be an Eastern Wash
ington man, and King county (Seat-
tle) should not be given more than
one place on the state ticket. Hog
gishness always deserves heroic treat
ment-and generally gets it good and
strong olville News Letter.
We are very thankful to you for
the compliment, but are compelled
to take issue with you as to our posi-
ton. King county Republicans are
not asking for but one place on the
state ticket, and that they think they
are justly entitled to, and will insist
on having that place-the governor
ship-tendered to a King county
citizen.

MIR. FRINK'S CANDIDACY.

That it was a blunder on the part
of Postmaster Stewart to write any
kind Of a political letter during a
campaign all will admit, but the let
ter disclosed nothing that was not
already known to the general public.
The mere fact that the -lntelli-
'gencer was supporting Mr.. Frink
was sufficient proof that Mr.. Frink's
candidacy met Hon. John L. Will
sons hearty approval, for does not
Mr.. Wilson own the Post-Intelli-
gencer? That proof sufficient cir
cular was nothing more or less than
wasted energy on the part Of the sap
heads who issued it. Wilson has the
right to support any man he chooses
to, just the same as any other citizen,
and it does not mean, or should not
mean, that the man he supports is
any more tied to him than he is tied
to the hundred and one other men
that support him. 1t occurs to us
Uhat MIR trink is almost as honor
able, and his word can be relied upon
as safely as that of George q. Piper.
Perhaps i'll this we are mistaken, but
we do not believe it. Frink has said
ne was tied to no senatorial kite, and
yet these circular issuers declare that
IN this he lied; if not in so many
Words, they imply as much. The
public has Senator Frink's word to
oe placed in an opposite balance to
mat of George u. Piper, which will
1t believe? Men who have lived hon
o1able lives, who have reared Chris
Ian families, and who have begun
IN the community as poor laboring
men and worked themselves up to
the head of a great industrial insti-
tuition may not be worthy of any
more public consideration in a case
Of personal veracity than the man
who spends his life in grating"
first one politician and then another,
who spends his time in haunts Of
vice and halls Of reyelry with women
Of easy virtue, but we do not believe
the public will so look at it. If hon
orableness goes for anything, such
man as Senator Frink must stand out
like a slzy-kissing mountain beside a
miserable dunghill, when placed be-
side such men. If it is not right to
be good, then everybody should be
bad.

SEATTLE'S TELEPHONE co.

A great many Of the business men
Of the city have ordered their tele-
phones taken out, owing to the fact
that the Sunset Telephone Company
did not see fit to entertain a PROPOSE
ton made to the effect that the girls
who were compelled to leave the ser
vice of the company on account of
poor pay and long hours be treated
with from a business standpoint. To
say that President Sabin was uncouth
and even rude to the business men
OF Seattle is mildly putting it, and
this is what is prompting the remov-
al of so many phones. If all of the
phones are taken out that have been
and will be ordered out during the
coming week it means nothing more
OF less than that the Sunset Tele-
phone Company will find Seattle an
expensive place to operate tele-
phone system. The company says it
cannot afford to treat with the strik-
ing girls in this city, for, if it did it
would meet the same trouble n every
other city in its system. If all the
