The convict labor problem is
easy of solution. Convicts should
not be farmed to private corpor-
ations to compete with free labor,
nor should there be institutions
established where goods may be
manufactured by convicts to
compete with honest manufact-
urers who do not enjoy such adj
vantages in the way of procuring
labor for nothing but room rent
and board. But there is a field
of usefulness for the convict, a
field where little competition ex-
lists, and where there is plenty
to do-the building of good state
roads. West Coast Trade.

Consumptives to be sure are in
a most pitiable condition, but
that is no reason why they should
be permitted to live in snch close
proximity to others that they
would probably put them in an
equally pitable condition as them
selves. 1t does not help a dying
person for living persons to COM
NIT suicide because he or she is
dying.

FalIacy of Caste System

A caste system must be like a
pyramid, each layer representing
a broader area than the one
which rests upon it. 1t is i'm
possible to form a lasting scheme
of caste with a superincumbence
of ten white men upon the sub
startum of one Negro. If the
Negroes We're everywhere rela-
lively as numerous as they are in
some parts of the southern states

The explosion of a gasoline
tank connected with the plant of
the Rainier Valley Record caused
the death of Mr.. Nash, one of
the proprietors of the plant, and
the serious burning of Mrs. Gill
in her attempt to extinguish the
fire that fatally burned Mr.. Nash.
After a series of trials and trib-
ulations the proprietors of the
paper got things to running
smoothly, and just as this had
been accomplished this fatal &C.

It is to be regretted that Gov.
Hughes of New York will not at
tend the fair. Not so much be-
cause his presence would be of
any general benefit to those who

himself and all curios at such
places are splendid drawing
cards, which bring in the money,

SEATTLE FLASHLIGHTS

The prospective shortage of
water in the city, which has al
ready given signs of being on us
in the very near future, is to be
deplored. This is but the first
of May and few if hardly any
of the householders have begun
to irrigate their lawns and yet
the water supply is dangerously
low in the reservoirs. Warning
the consumers against wasting
the water has little or no effect
on them, for just so long as the
water will run out of the nozzle
of the hose just so long will they
let it run on their lawns regard
less of how many are suffering
for it for drinking purposes. The
shortage seems to be on us, and
"argufying" won't help the sit
uation. If, therefore, the au-
thorities expect to prevent a
water famine they had better
make stringent rules as to the
use of water both by the meter
users and those who do not use
the meters. The man with a
meter is often more wasteful
with water than the one without
meter.
Back to his first love may be
aptly said of the board of public
works, which but a few days ago
elected R. H. Thomson, chair
man for the ensuing year. For
the past year A. V. Bouillion has
been chairman of the board, but
his dictatorship has not given
general satisfaction, and SO Mr..
Thomson was again placed at its
head, over which he presided SO
many previous years. He is by
far the ablest man in connection
with the city affairs and former
Mayor Moore was quite correct
in saying, "Mr. Thomson is the
brains Of my administration, " for
so far as Seattle is concerned he
is the brains of every administra-
ton, and this is said with no in
tention of speaking disparaging-
ly of any one else.

1t would appear that Senator
Piles, in his capacity of attorney
has had pretty rich pickirgs from
the John Sullivan estate at Seat
tie. A one-half interest in a
million dollar estate from the
standpoint of an impecunious
lawyer must have seemed like a
Godsend. Of course nobody in
Seattle, except possible COMPETE
tors for the toga, cares a hang
how Slippery Sam" came by
the money, the all important
question being, did he get it?
Yes, apparently, he did, but at
the expense of the rightful heirs.
One of these, an old man who
had come all the way from Ire

court the other day when he said:

estate, but now it appears he
wants it ALL" Well, of course.

Glen Edmunds, until recently con-

has identified himself with this new
firm as its local salesman, helping to
strengthen what is recognized as a
strong firm in the two partners whose
names make up the company firm
style.
During its first week of business in
the new garage the firm has disposed OF
four Columbia cars and has orders
booked for number of Herreshoffs
when a first carload shipment of the
latter arrives the coming week. The
Columbia purchasers were: Robert
Riddell and D. o. Caddagan, Los An
geles Columbia roadsters; j. l.. Trux-
sell, San Fernando, Columbia roadster,
and George r. Murdoch, Los Angeles,

results of it's efforts. The little car
ran up the hill, with its tonneau seats
filed, as If 1t were running on level
ground. And it then proceeded to go
through a series of gyrations that re-
quired not only power, but elasticity of
mechanism, to accomplish.
There are few moderate priced cars
that have attracted more favorable at

same Herreshoff car, and its perma-

these two cars as they have appeared
on the streets of Los Angeles during
the past week in the hands OF Hal

is acting in the capacity of demon
strator for Bireley & Young. Stone is
one of the best "stunt" drivers in Cali

of interested spectators to assemble in
different portions of the congested

Broadway to watch Stone take the
snappy little Herreshoff up Second

usual Sunday afternoon Coliseum pro-
gram. There are a number or very

Gus local riders, which will be fought
for more furiously and seriously, per-

competition.
The professionals will come together
in the fourth and eighth events on the
card of eleven races, the first a hVe-

event. This field win include DeRosier.
Derkum, Mitchell Lingenfelder ana
Samuelson, whose work in last sun

even he cares to admit.
The clubs officials will be at the va

advancing the interests of the club
and motorcyclists generally in Southern
California. 1t is expected that the at
tendance, because of this fact, will even
exceed that of previous Sundays, as the
