s. 1T GOOD THAT TACOMA BE KNOWN AS "WIDE OPEN"

WHY ARE LOS ANGELES AND PORTLAND
COUNTED AS THE Give TOWNS AND WHY
ARE SAN FRANCISCO AND SEATTLE RE-
FERRED TO AS HAVING A HARD TIME OF TT?
San Francisco and Seattle are known as 'wide
open i'm other words, these two places are
hot beds of corruption of every sort.
When the present reform administration of Los
Angeles was in the throes of it's campaign, an at
tempt was made to establish the impression that a
closed town would cause the grass to grow on the
main streets of the city.
There was genuine surprise for those who ac-
cepted this contention. Los Angeles is bee hive Of
industry at the present time.
Statistics might prove that money diverted into
the channels of vice in Seattle and San Francisco is
causing the protest which has arisen in those cities.
Frisco is in horrible state of corruption and count
less thousands Of dollars go into the vice Golfers
nightly.

LISBON, Oct. THE republic
of Portugal was virtually recog-
nized today by the foreign diplo-
matte corps stationed here. The
various ministers, headed by Sir
Francis Villiers, of Great Britain,
called upon the provisional for
eign minister, DIR. Machado, ten
dered their respects and received
assurances of the new administra-
tion that the rights of foreigners
in Portugal would be respected.
1t was announced that the de-
posed king Manuel, the queen
mother Amelie, Dowager Maria
Pia and Manuel's uncle, the duke
OF Oporto, would be exiled, but
their personal property rights
would be respected. This is an
unexpected concession by the re-
publicans. The United Press to-
day obtained the first connected
account of the mexements of the
royal family from the beginning
of the revolution.
King Manuel at first wanted to
stay in Lisbon and fight, but his
advisers forced him to flee.
When the Necessidades palace be-
gan to crumble under the shells
of the republican-manned war
ships and forts, Manuel left the
building by means of secret exit,
and went to Mafra, north of Lis
bon. Queen Amelie and Dowager
Queen Maria Pia, then at Cintra,
Joined Manuel at Mafra. The duke
of Oporto remained in hiding un-
til Thursday, when he boarded
the royal yacht Amelie and sailed
to Ericeira, near Mafra. Manuel
and the others, guarded by the
students of the Mafra military
school, went to Ericeira. On the
way the young king wept con-
stantly and threatened repeatedly
to return. He was dissuaded from
his purpose, and his mother and
the party boarded the royal yacht.
The little craft sailed at 4
O'Clock Thursday afternoon and
reached Gibraltar at IL o'clock
last night.
Today they were the guests of
Sir Francis Forester Walker, gov
ernor of Gibraltar.

The gasoline schooner Kate and

SERVICE
BUSINESS
FUNNY

The civil service board is get
ting to be almost as big a joke as
the civil service section of the
charter itself. The board appar-
emily is taking itself seriously. and
Is going ahead with schemes to
make great department of the
city government that win in time
be an expensive luxury with a po-
litical machine of its own if the
commission stands for the
schemes.
But the commission apparently
is not enthusiastic. And the city
attorney has practically knocked
the props from under the whole
board with his legal opinions.
Yesterday he punched the ordi-
nance framed by the commission
so full of holes that its makers
will not recognize it. The board
had framed UP an ordinance 1t
expected the commission to pass
which would IL it held make the
civil service board bigger than the
whole commission and supersede
the state laws in the bargain.
The thing was such a farce and
showed such an utter lack of ap-
probation of the situation on the
part of the civil service board that
the commission turned 1t down
fiat and the city attorney showed
the thing up in a ridiculous light.
Eleven different sections of the
boards ordinance were shown py
the city attorney to be either
against the statutes, superfiuous,
extravagant in their provisions or
useless.
This whole civil service muddle
Is getting to be funny.
The action of the court in hold
ing, as the charter plainly pro-
yides, that commissioner may
discharge an employe any time,
makes all attempts at civil service
futile and the schemes of the cfvrg
service board to try to get around
the law cause a smile on the part
of the commissioner every time
the matter comes up.

Fong is we'll known in Chinese

schools for several years.
Local Chinese who are loyal to
the emperor are greatly worried
lest repetition of the attempted
assassination of Prince Tsai Hsun
be repeated on board the steamer
Chiyo Maru. 1t was rumored
about Chinatown that four men
were on board the liner for that
purpose. Officials of the steam
ship company were notified short
B before the boat sailed, and pre-
cautions against any such attempt
are being taken on board.
Fong is a member of the Young

Says Woman Should
Pop the Question

(By United Press Leased Wfre.)
SEATTLE, Oct. Tt is wom-
ans prerogative to pop the ques-
ton" This is the opinion of AL
fred H. Brown, who delivered a
lecture before an audience of for
ty-seven people here last night.
He said: "Woman's little sphere
is the big sphere of the universe.
Man simply gains the nutrition
for the race, and woman is the
means of propagation of the race.
Therefore, since woman performs
the greater function, she should
have the free right of choice.
Bernard Shaw tells us that wom-
an will propose anyway, even IL
she has to chase a man all over
Europe and into the Pyrennes
mountains. 1t ought to be SO.
It's the cosmic principle"

THE PRINCE called off the fun that day
And sent the Russian bear away.
Mufhes had made him climb tree
And sit on stool and drink come tea
And hold the trainer on his paw,
As cute a child as you ever saw.
The other laughed at the little Jap
When he was tossed like fellows cap
And caught again like 2 rubber ball
And never once let slip or fall.
And Dutchy. too had fun to spare
When he was chased by hat Russian bear
And lodged about from place to place
Till he tired out bruin in the race
The Prince said bruin had enough
When he finished playing blind-man s-buf1
And with eyes bound tight had passed hat
And found the place where each one sat
And got some pennies and some gold
AS much as the trainers hands would hold.
THE man and daughter and the bear
Went off at once to the country fair
And the little girls as they said goodbye
Had show of tears in every eye
For Domino in his princey way
Said, I'VE II miss your fun we go today;
The camp will move at 6 tonight
And disappear clear out Of sight
For day or two in valleys deep
Till Muffes has some hours to sleep
And have time and he has rest
To solve problem; about a guest;
A little boy who went to stay
With grandmamma some miles away
And lost himself in an hour or so
And who can't be found either high or low.
1 have message from his dad
Which says if l will find the lad
He'll send at once a note of thanks
Containing checks on dozen banks;
SO we are off for the work today
And must get busy right away
He then gave orders the camp to pack
And at six o'clock the whip went crack
And Dinkey's load moved on ahead
As he with NIuffes the procession led.
THE PRINCE just hid that camp that night
In a deep ravine clear out of sight

And Captain Dinkey could own state
And have a golden dish or plate
A mile across and heaped up high
With watermelons to the sky;
And he and Muffies could travel far
In stately auto or Pullman car
And see the country east and west
And answer every child S request
And visit all both rich and poor
And then cross o 'er the sea and tour
The countries old and change perhaps
Some little kingdoms on the maps z.
And buy one out complete with gold
And fill it full as it could hold
With boys and girls and jolly play
And make it sunshine every day;
And Domino be Prince or King
And he and Mufhes rule the thing.
These are some of the dreams he had
