villain still pursued, even after
John McGraw had become pri-
vate citizen. However, Blethen
has repented of his sin and has
since fallen at the feet of John
H. McGraW and licked his shoes
for a small morsel of honor.
J. M. Frink, one of the most
highly respected citizens of the
whole Northwest, was declared
to be the vilest and most dast-
ardly wretch that ever, set foot
in the Northwest, was repeated
ly published by the Times, while
Mr.. Frink was a candidate for
governor on the Republican tick
ct in 1900. But as in the case of
Gov. McGraw, the editor of the
Times has seen the error of his
way and now pronounces Frink
an ideal citizen. Henry Mcbride
came in for a dose of the vile
abuse from the editor of the
Times, and for no other reason
than because he would not give
the editor of the Times the same
influence with him as Gov. Rog-
ers had done. When, however,
he wanted to use Mcbride in or
der to defeat the Republican
party, then he, Mcbride, became
an angel without wings. The
Times at the command of Alden
J. Blethen began to abuse Albert
E. Mead before he was elected
and has never held up, and all
because Mead wanted to be gov
ernor and subsequently because
Mead would not make the Times
his official organ despite the fact
it had abused him in the vilest
language when he was candidate.
He was pronounced hireling of
John L. Wilson as was the other
men. Blethen always uses this
little trump when he thinks no
other will win,
When the late Samuel G. Cos
grove was a candidate it was the
Times that abused him as a
Wilson hireing and when it was
pointed out to the editor that
Wilson's paper was supporting
Meade for governor he simply
replied, that Wilson had put both
Corgrove and Mead up and it
did not matter to him which won.
When Hay succeeded Cosgrove
as governor then the editor of
the Times opened up his walls of
wrath and is making an editorial
target of him. Despite the
fact the Times supported a Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor it
has suddenly become so solicit
Gus as to the future success of
Republican party that it is weep
ing wells Of water because Hay
is about to defeat the party. 1t
will therefore be seen from the
foregoing that Blethen's Times
has prided itself in abusing Re-
publican governors because they
refused to permit a foul mouthed
Democrat as is Editor Blethen,
to stand head of the newspaper
row so for as they are concerned,

miration of the visitors. All
this living beyond ones means is
a sham to make people believe
you are we'll to do while you are

bodily and he returned to his
humble domicile. The lodge
served him right, only they
should have followed it up with
double coat IF tar and feathers.
Uncle Sam should follow the ex-
cellent patriotic example and fire
every anarchists out of his entire
domain across the briny ocean.
The action of the labor unions
through one of it's prominent
members in trying to prevent
the erection of the Welcome Arch
on Second avenue, smacks of an
archism. Whenever an associa-
ton, be it secret or public, tries
to control everything in sight, it
is time it was relegated to
the state of inocuous desuitude.
The principle that no one should
have an opportunity to labor in
order to secure bread for his wife
and little children unless he be-
longs to a certain organization is
pernicious, un American and
should be suppressed as an enc
my to the common people. Or
ganized labor is right only when
it acts right, but when it acts
like a dog in the manger, and
tresspasses upon other peo-
pies right they shoule be Sc
verely dealt with. Judge ]. T.
Ronald evinced good, sound sense
when he dissolved the restrain
ing order and allowed the We'll
come Arch to be erected.
1t has been suggested that the
third water pipe line be installed
as soon as possible. That is a
sensible proposition. With the
two pipe lines we already have
there is none too much water to
supply the city for the present,
and the way the city is growing
and expanding in population it
will not be long till we need the
third pipe line. "a stitch in
time saves nine," Is an old say
ing, but it Is wisdom neverthe-
less. Had this truism been
needed some time ago we would
not have been waterless, and our
lawns parched, nor would the
city have had to pay thousands
of dollars-in the shape of bonus
to have had the plant installed
ahead of time.
The A. Y. P. Exposition is a
grand success. 1t is one of the
most surprising events which
has ever occurred in the United
States. But twenty years ago
Seattle was only an over grown
village, now we have a magnif-
cent city with a population of ap-
proximately 300, 900 people. Cos
thy skyscrapers have been erect
ed, each costing we'll on to
million dollars, the city has ex-
banded until it is eight miles
long, and now we have in actual
operation the finest, the best and
most costly exposition the people
ever saw. 1t absolutely aston
ishes every visitor to the exposi-
ton, and they look in profound
wonder and establishment, and
ask why and how did all this
come to pass.

1t is usual in this country to
wait until a person is under the
sod in some convenient cemetery
before good words are'ssspoken of
his acts and character. If per-
son is doing his duty as a citizen
and neighbor why not tell it
to his face. Do you know that
much of the cloudiness and gloom
in this life would be taken away
if this excellent course was pur-
sued by every one. There are
very few persons who do not re-
ceive fattery as a welcome guest,
while the fatterer may not aim
it as q. vanity. When a person
does a kind act, why not encour-
age him by your approval? 1t
would be stimulus to him and
an incentive to continue in kind
acts and good works. 1t 10 only
when persons do extraordinary
acts that we applaud them. Why
not do it in a smaller way every
day, and thus create a perpetual
sunshine.

The first power the people had
for energy to propel machinery
was water power : then many
years ago an acute observer no.
ticed the lid of the teakettle raise
by the effect of the steam, and
from thence was evolved the
power from steam, which power
has prevailed all over the en-
lightened nations. But now
new energy is becoming in vogue
which is most powerful of all
powers and is as plentiful as the
air we breathe. Electricity is
just beginning to be installed as
as THE power and 1t will soon be-
come universal. Already our
street cars are propelled by it,
and our transcontinental trains
are run by it, besides any amount
of machinery. Being far cheap
err it will soon take the place Of
steam. Not only will it be the
power but our homes and Offices
will be heated with it and our
forests will be somewhat con-
served.

This Puget Sound country Is
most peculiar. Practically we
have no thunder and lightning,
no cyclones, or toronadoes, no
hail storms, no severe, cold win
try weather, no hot sultry sum-
mers; no poisonous snakes, no
poisonous bugs and no anarchists.
All diseases are milder in this
locality than elsewhere owing to
the mildness of the climate,
healthy atmosphere and pure
cool water. Seattle and Puget
Sound has all of these advant-
ages and more; it is being popu-
lated with good, sturdy, honest,
law-abiding citizens. There can
be no better people or surround
ings found anywhere than in this
Puget Sound country.

The letting of city contracts
for paving streets, cement side
walks, ETC., has not been let by
the city authorities according to
Hoyle. AS it is now an estimate
of the cost is made before the
contract is let, and that estimate
is always much higher than the
actua! cost, and the surplus after
the contract is paid goes into the
city treasury Tor somewhere else)
and the AUDITING land owner
pays much more than the actual
figured cost. This is a radio
al wrong which the people should
have corrected. The actual cost
of the improvement should be as
certained and people assessed ac-
cordingly. Why does not the
city transacts it's business in a
business like manner? No pri-
vate corporation would do bust
ness in that careless and improp-
er way.

NEED MORE STORM SEWERS.
Apparent That City Waterways Are
Inadequate in Emergency.

Consideration is being given the
proposition to increase all storm sew
ers in the business portion of the mu
nicipality and the inadeQuacy OF
the present service is brought to the
minds of the municipal council today,
because of the heavy downfall OF
water last night.
The question of a new sewer be-
tween Kansas avenue and Jackson
among other things, is brought to
their attention because of fhe water
which finds it's way into the celIacs of
different business places, and it IS
possible that some action may be TAX
en- shortly.
Because of the low area between
Jackson and Van Buren, streets the
drain from Kansas avenua on the
east ard Harrison en- the west, is ire
mendous so that with a heavy rain
the full supply of water flows to the
large sewer in the alley between Van
Buren, and Jackson streets
This same sewer also carries the
water from Tenth street to the river,
and the volume is SO immense that
after a big rain like last night, the
water which is unable to flow into the
outlet quick enough, with the result
that from IL to Is inches flows across
the street and down the alley, imped-
ing the progress of pedestrians.
1t has been suggested and it is pos
sible that a larger outlet will be pre-
pared at the foot of the sewer, allow
ing the water volume to exit into the
river with greater rapidity.

Co.operation in England.

The vitality of the cooperative
movement in England, which took its
rise many years ago in a small way
at Rochda1e, continues undiminished
The growth of the movement is
shown strikingly by the fact that while

$7S2,2e5 at profit of $43,949, in
zoos there were 112 such societies,
doing a business of $2O.510,O00 at a

last five years there has been a de-
cline in the number of societies from
