selves. In no way can the good sense,
past training and general character of
people be judged as by their behavior
in the theater.
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy
will visit France and sleep in Ma
poleon's bed. The King should visit
Seattle and sleep in the bed that Presi-
dent Roosevelt used, at the Washing
ton Hotel, then be interviewed by Sc
attic papers as to which he preferred
most. We will wager that the bed
in the Washington Hotel would be
his choice, according to the Seattle
papers, anyway.
"Jack London" the novelist and
short story writer, has made up" with
his wife, and once more "Love finds
the way" 'Tis we'll. A man who can
write such delightful stories, should
not be estranged from his wife. Per.
haps Jack" while in Alaska, heard
and listened to the Call of the Wild"
too much for his. own good. But, nev.
ertheless, we are glad that his family
trouble has been settled.
While we do not believe in lynch
ing, as rule, we must confess that at
times it is the proper thing to do.
When a negro, whether an oily. black
or a coffee-colored fiend, rapes white
girl, no time should be lost by honest
and virtuous citizens, be they black or
white. Judge Lynch is preferable. In
early days, when the State was Ter
ritory, we had to have the services
of Mr.. Lynch, and he was very effec.
tive in doing good.
William Beals, an aeronaut. was
killed in San Francisco few days ago
by falling from the parachute on a
hard pavement in Golden Gate Park.
The most strange thing about the &C.
cident was, that Miss Heney, aged
II, was riding on an electric Car at
the time OF the ascension of Beals.
She leaned far out OF the car window
to get better view of the parachute
descent and her head struck an elec.
trio mast with such force that death
soon followed.
The pastor of the German Evan
gelical church of Davenport, this
State, who prayed to God to remove
from Earth his wife, and who thought
God was too slow in answering his
prayer, attempted to do the work him
self, was arrested and restrained by an
order OF the court from returning
home, surely does not believe the bib
lical proverb that "All things come to
him who waits" This fellows name
is Rev. George Hoff. He should be in
the penitentiary at hard work.
The wife OF q Seattle money-lender
has applied for divorce. Her hus-
band is worth SIS 900 and allows her
only $40 month to purchase food for
family of four. She says it is i'm.
possible. This couple has been mar
ried twenty years. The wife, it seems
has been quite long time finding this
out, but what surprises us the most is
that, after living in Seattle so long,
she possessed the strength to ar
rive at lawyers Office, as breakfast
food is all she could possibly have
bought for that family to exist on
with the $40 month.
To show his opinion as to gambling
Mayor Humes of Seattle said claim
that any man who says, in order to
get votes, that he will suppress gam
bling and prostitution, that he is a
hypocrite. Ever since it was said,
And they parted my raiment among
them and for my clothing they cast
lots, or something like that, there has
been gambling. And ever since il was
said, Let that one who is without sin
cast the first stone,' there has been
prostitution" and can Tom Humes
succeed where st. Paul and St. Peter
failed? Out upon it. 'Tis unworthy
the age.
