This is good and wholesome doc
trine. 1t is what our fathers fought
for in the Revolution, and we, today,
praise them for it. We would, today,
do the same No man should be
forced to pay to support a government
that he has no right to say anything
about the manner that it shall be gov
erned. Yet we are doing that very
thing. We are refusing to give our
women the right to vote, but we say
you must pay taxes to support the gov
eminent If she must pay taxes, it
is unfair to say she shall not vote
But you say it will keep her from
home too much. Look on the streets
of your cities any day and you will
see them full of women, shopping, Wis
iting, going to the theatre or clubs,
and you say nothing of it. Will it take
them any longer to go and vote than
to go to the theatre or club? Again,
you say it will throw her in company
with the hoodlum element. Will that
be done any more than at any other
time on the streets? Again, you say
they cannot be soldiers. Deborah one
of the greatest generals the world ever
knew. was a woman. Joan of Arc, an
other great general, was a woman.
Among the greatest writer's are wom-
en-. In every kind of business they
are as successful as are the men.
They are just as honest, just as far
seeing, Just as good and just as bad,
Just as truthful and just as unthruth-
full as man. Then if they are equal in
all that they have been tried in as
man, why should they not vote? Away
back in the early 70s an Irishman was
asked if he was in favor of Negro stuff
rage. "Yis, an l am" he said, "A
mayer is just as mooch right to suffer
as anybuddy" So with the women;
they have just as much right as any
body. The true and undying prin-
ciples of Republican government are
equal and unalterable right to all its
citizens.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1909.

1t is marvellous that people of that
magnitude would not do something
in keeping near to progress, but they
seem to imbibe the old doctrine of
the Democratic party of the United
States to let well enough alone-lay
dormant and, Micawber-lilke, wait for
something to turn up. China, how
ever, is just awakening, and the pros
pect is that she will take on. new
enterprises and forge to the front.
The Chinaman is the most ingenious
and apt scholar in the world and can
initiate any invention to a tee. Look
out for the Chinese a quarter of =
century from now.

That the Puget Sound country is
ahead of any other portion of the
United States for scenery cannot be
denied. The whole Puget Sound is,
in fact, one grand panorama of the
most beautiful natural landscape the
eye can see or that the mind can
picture. The grand bodies of water,
the ripping streams, the fertile val
leys, the lofty hills, the beautiful
hooks and corners fringed with the
beautiful flowers and evergreens,
greet the eye with exquisite pleasure
and fill the soul with admiration.
Macadam roads are all that lack to
make this the most desirable summer
resort either in this or in foreign
countries.

Many things to the Board of Public
Works that would be very advan-

The celebrated attorney Heney, who
has been SO strenuously prosecuting
the big thieves in San Francisco, is
candidate for the position of Prose
cutting Attorney. We don't know what
his politics are; they may be Demo
cratic, Republican or Prohibition; that
matters not. Mr.. Heney should be
elected. No man has been so siren
uous and accomplished SO much as he

1t is evident that the Salvation
Army is retrograding. Years ago the
masses of the people looked upon it
with much favor and sought to en-
courage it financially as much as
possible, and it is true that it was
doing much good for fallen humanity
1t sought to reach persons which the
church would not, and was charitable
to a fault in feeding the hungry and
clothing the naked; but now things
seem to be different The main OBJ
ject appears to be to obtain the money,
which they proceed to do in almost
any way it can be procured. 1t has
been stated that two-thirds of the
money they collect is spent in keep
ing the officers in good style and well
groomed, and the other small portion
for the deserving poor. 1t is a fact
that the leaders go very well dressed
and you can see them taking sump-
tuous meals at first-class restaurants
and seemingly enjoy themselves as
do millionaires. If they obtain the
support of the people they must turn
over new leaf

There is a move on foot to establish
a summer home for the President of
the United States somewhere in the
Northwest. This would be an excel
lent move and one which would be
fully approved by all the people
Every summer the authorities at .
Washington have vacation, and
usually an extended one, too, on
account of the almost unbearable hot
weather there A summer home at
the city of Seattle would remedy the
matter most completely, for we have
no extremely sultry or hot weather
here and the people sleep nights with
blanket or two over them. Then the
President could have any sort of eli
mate he would wish, from a pleasant
summer day on the level or up to
the snowclad mountains in two
hours ride And the President who
enjoyed hunting would be in clover.
1t will be long step toward justice
when honesty, integrity and brains
shall be recognized above the almighty
dollar You can see it anywhere and
everywhere in the Northern states
that whenever any person occupying
high office or position visits city,
the men of wealth surround him and
overwhelm him with exclusiveness
from brains, talent and education. The
despised 400 are always to the fore,
putting on an air of sanctity and au-
thority which make person blush
who is at all familiar with their inner
life. A person having few thousand
dollars, ill-gotten perhaps, ignorant
and characterless, is 1T, while the
person of sense, character and learn
ing is a nonentity. We saw an ex-
hibition of this senseless stunt in 4
Seattle last week. "Falsus in una,
falsus in omnibus"
