MY CREED.

This is my creed: To do some good,
To bear my ills without complaining
To press on as a brave man should
For honors that are worth the gain
ing;
To seek no profits where may
BY winning them bring grief to 9TH
ers,
To do some service day by day
In helping on my toiling brothers.
This is my creed: To close my eyes
To little faults of those around me;
To strive to be when each day dies
Some better than the morning found
me;
To ask for no unearned applause,
To cross no river till l reach it;
To always have a worthy cause.
To fearlessly and fairly preach it.
This is my creed: To wisely stun
The sloughs in which the foolish
wallow,
To lead where I may be the one
Whom weaker men should choose tc
follow
To keer my standards always high,
To find my task and bravely do it;
This is my creed-I wish that l
Could even live half way up to it.

SHIPPERS IN PROTEST.
Seattle Wants Reduction on East Bound
Rates to Equalize Those
Westward

SEATTLE, Wash. Oct. For the
first time on the Pacific coast, the full
membership of the interstate commerce
commission began hearings in Seattle to-
day.
The case is known as the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce Transportation
Bureau and the Tacoma Traffic associa-

way and others. The compainants ask
for a reduction in the east-bound rates
to eqEalize the rates given eastern job
bers and manufacturers on goods sent
westward.
The contention of the coast shippers
is that they should have freight rates
as low to points in Montana, Idaho and
Oregon on east-bound shipments as those
given to shippers at st. Paul, Chicago
Omaha and Kansas City on west-bound
shipments.
