A degenerate named Sargent was
sentenced to nine months in the
penitentiary by Judge Mason Irwin
of the Superior Court at Aberdeen,
for selling obscene pictures. Too
bad Judge Irwin could not by law
have sentenced Sargent to ninety
and-nine years Imprisonment. and
while about it have hung the party
who purchased them.

Gee! If this keeps up there will
not lie enough people left in Thurs
ton county to make a parade for
Hay, should he by some chance or
other become candidate for Governor

Here is q verse have clipped from
the South Tacoma Press. l sincerely
hope every Prohi and white ribbon
worker in the world will paste it in
their scrap-books. 1t is as full of
truth as an egg is OF meat. Here it
is:
The Dry Voter.
There was man in our town
And he was wOndrOus wise;
He went up to the polls one day
And voted with the drys,
And when he found that they had won
He danced dozen jigs;
The day the law went into force
lie opened two blind pigs.

l don't say, mark you, L. E. RAIDER
OF Seattle, should have starved him
self to death. Nothing of the sort.

soner" was entitled to fast" it
seems to me. if he so desired. He,
from my standpoint, had the per-
sonal right to fast though it caused
his death, perhaps, just as much as
you or have the right to summon
the service Of q physician of the old
school of medicine. Christ healed
by the laying an Of hands. Christ
tasted, too. RAIDER, in my opinion,
was well within his rights as free
born American to place himself un-
der the care OF doctor whom he be-
lieved would help him to regain his
health, whether said doctor belonged
to new or old school.
A policeman in Seattle named
Hoag had to be served with a court
order before he would contribute
any financial support to his wife
(knowing she may soon be blind and
his little daughter. four years old.
The policeman earns $98. 80 o month.
The Judge said to him:
"You will pay into the registry of
this court $25 q month, $40 OF which will
90 to your vile and the rest for support
of your child, and il you do not do this
promptly you will become . boarder OF
the King county Jail until you will obey
this order"
This Seattle polioeman Is fine
specimen Of man who is supposed
to see that the laws Of the State and
city are obeyed. He should be dis
charged from the police department
of the Queen City. He is no man
not even what bis name would spell
if the letter "a" was omitted there.
from.
Now that Seattle has called halt
in its gigantic improvements, 1t will,
of course, be advertised over all the
country as o degeneratirg city
starting to decay, industrially, as it
were. However, tits noticeable at
this time. the Queen City is to have
a horseshoe plant which will be
turning out horseshoes three months
hence. The owners OF the concern
should be happy and delighted with
business prospects ahead Of them.
Seattle people will buy horseshoes
nr "aOod luok"-those who favor
the city proceeding with improve
ments as mapped out. and those who
consider the curtailment the best
thing that ever happened to Seattle
and who wish it to continue. Peo-
pie in that city holding both opin-
ions, will certainly buy horseshoes in
order to see their wishes "Aourish
like q green hay tree" The pro-
meters of the horseshoe plant at Sc
attic are to be. indeed. congratulated.
