Short Story

/, But We scattered a carload OF
lpotaties over the Tin Can ward
when the laddies were starvin',
continued Officer O'Rourke. Sure
and I'll not artist We till the sun
turns green as Ireland!"
Eyes, yes. Mr.. O'Rourke," said
the lady, soberly. 1T Is your
duty, you know, and 1t was a clear
violation. Come on to the sta
tion."
"No!" Numbered Officer
lO'Rourke; mot for a thousand
harps av gold!"
Come on" repeated the bless
ed lady, and she wheeled the
green car about.

O'Rourke. "I'd tear me stripes off
first"
Come on" said the lady for
the third time, very firmly. II
don't mind"
NO." reiterated Offic r
IO'Rourke; mot for a deed to Tip
perary!"
But as the good lady of Del
mont st. was station bound on her
own account, at rate that threat
ened to do things to the speed reg
ulations once more, No. AZ of the
park squad had no choice but to
follow and to follow fast. AS he
went, however, he mumbled sui
lenly, swearing every greenland
gold oath he knew that he would
rather lose his right arm, and al
most running down a careless
Ipush-cart man in his abstraction.
At the station, the drowsy cap
tain reused to receive two clam
orous visitors.
I'm arrested" said the lady,
smiling bewilderingly. "How much
will it be this time, Capt. Daly?"
81 resign" announced Officer
O'Rourke, showing over his gilt
badge. 81 won't artist an angel. ("
The captain stared at his subor-
dinate in surprise, but the lady
laughed unsteady.
Tell Officer O'Rourke just how
many times I've been here for
speeding" she directed. Tell him
tell me how much this time"
''The captain grinned broadly.
II think, If you'll deposit $25,
ma'am, thereIl be no need of you
Ibothering to come back" And to
Officer O'Rourke he said: "This
is the forty-eighth time for Mrs.
Dunlap this season, Michael. She
likes it, and she's rich-she can
afford it. Don't let it worry you,
man." And he returned to Of
ficer O'Rourke gilt badge No. AZ,
park police.
AS the green car sped smoothly
away, Officer O'Rourke refasten-
ed his beloved emblem of author
ity. mo wonder she's a speeder,
he murmured. angels are Just
that bound to fly"
And Officer O'Rourke thought
again of a great cluster of pink
roses by the bed of the child of
his heart.

PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.

To the Editor of the Times:
believe something is wrong
with our public school system. l
have a boy aged nine whose arith-
metic lesson calls for knowledge
OF the multiplication tables, yet
when I ask him how much is
times he says he hasn't studied
that, yet mis- examples call for such
knowledge.
My little girl, aged seven, can't
make an ga" today. She says
they only cut paper dolls and sing
at school and sometimes the teach
er tells a story.
am certainly not the only
mother who is dissatisfied with
our public schools and l would
like to read what some other
mothers or fathers think about
the question.

SOME POETRY, TOO.

w OTlo
Above the awful earthquake
scenes
In fair Italy's sunny land,
There shines in bright, celestial
light
The worlds kind, ready, help
ing hand.
Behold the nations sending aid
To those in want and deepest
woei
And private aid is also sent
AS quickly as relief can go.
Who says the worlds great heart
is closed
To calls for help in time of
woe?
That Christianity today
Is not more strong than years
agof
The golden rule of Christ will be.
Some time the rule for all the
world.
Then wars will cease, and greed,
which kills
More than In war. to death Is
hurled.
o. may Jehovah's mighty power
Speed on that blessed happy
time,
When love. not greed. shall be the
law
In every nation, realm and
cline!
When mans sore cruelty to man
Shall cease to make the millions
mourn;
when love of neighbor as
ones self"
On Worldwide breezes shall be
borne.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR WOMEN

Editor Tacoma Times:
Dear Sir,-Concerning the g.
hour day for women: The issue
is whether women shall have the
same right as the men. Women
are regarded by many men as be-
ing inferior to the negro, who has
the right to vote. The plea of the
big employers of women and girls,
and the threats of the cannery
men to employ Cinnamon on the
grounds of competition, would be
the same argument, as we will say
a petition from a group of laun-
dry employers to work their help
13 hours per day because a certain
Chinese laundry does

THIS FROM A SOCIALIST.
Editor Times,-Our representa-
tives at Olympia are discussing an
eight-hour day law for women.
So far, good. But is it an eight
hour day that we need or are these
men on the wrong track?
/ ask all thoughtful citizens to
compare the wages of our girls
working In the department stores,
the laundries and the factories
with the cost of a decent living In
any respectable part of Tacoma.
Five dollars a week is sufficient
for the girl whose expenses are all
paid by her father and who has
nothing to buy except tickets to
the ten-cent shows, but 1t Is a diff
ferent story with the girl who
has no father to pay her bills, no
home to go to, and no one to care
for her when she Is out of work
but herself. How can we expect
a girl In these circumstances to
make a living when her labor at
ten hours a day will bring her only
about IS a week? They do 1t,
you say?
Now, gentlemen, how would
you like to have sister In Ia
coma dependent for her existence
upon the wages she might earn;
or how would you like to depart
from this earth and leave wife
and two or three daughters with
no visible means of support except
to work for the wages the girls
are at present, receiyings
Friends. II you vote at the next
election. do not be guilty of as
sisting In the election Of men who.
in discussing the labor question
with respect to women, stop at an
eight-hour day, but vote for men
who will strike deeper than that
that is vote the socialist ticket.
Yours for the social revolution.

That Richards Affair.

We have watched with consider
able interest the various articles
and replies that have found space
IN the papers over the state with
regard to that Richards affair.
All the voters of the state are
going TO keep their eyes open to
sec what kind of an answer Craw-
ford is going TO make TO the charge
Of graft preferred against him. For
answer them he must If he ever
expects %a-ything at the hands OF
the voters.
Certianly if there il nothing to
aharges Richards has made it will
be an easy matter for Crawford to
inrn on the light. but if he cen
tinues silent the people will begin
TO conclude that he is afraid to
have the light turned on.
It Is no more than right that the

believing Richards SO long as he

plete all the work laid out for this
season, and with an income OF $4,000
per month for the next three years,
