So Tom Kensey is a Phohibitionlst
now.is he? That's pretty hard on the
Prohibtionists, but it must be re-
lief to the Republicans,
Tacoma isn't guilty. I know Iaco-
ma. If the census enumeratois llnu
11G.O00persons there we'd be wiling y
there We'd rather expect there ia
Their about 125,OOO.
Why?
BECAUSE We know Tacoma business
men. They are the most conservative
bucnh on the Pacific coast Take such
menas Hyde and Thorne and Perkins
and Mccormick and Jones and Mason
and Pritchard and GGriggs and nun
bred more We could name. They male
Tacoma. Tacoma is theirs. Most vi
them were there when Tacoma boom
burst 20 years ago. They saw city
of Is 0oOdw,ndle to $4,000 1t most
broke them. but they were not the sor
to stay broke. They may have been
boomers before then. They never hav
been since. Conservative? Those Eel
lows count their cash three times dali
ly and then deduct 331-3 per cent from
the total for fear they have over est
imatd it. Once the Polk directory PEG
ple estimated the towns population
and submitted advance proofs to the
papers tor editorial review. There wa
a pow-wow of powers. The announce
ment was never made. The directory
people had to cut that figure.
Oh yes, there are boomers in Ia
coma, ut they get mighty little help
from the powers of the city. If the
original builders hadn't had the giz-
card scared out of them 20 years ago
Tacoma would havebeen larger than 5
attic. AS It is, it isn't any larger
than it is, but is isn't the least bit
smaller either.
I'd Just as much expect to find som
old maid tanlpering with census en-
umerdtor to record her older than she
is as t. find TacOIna-oh, rats Taco

Budget and the first issue nnder nj
management shows a big improvement
How il INST grovel the cooks soul
to see unframed hands burning the
meat or serving it UNDERGONE, putting
lnlpy gravey on the table or apple pie
with dough for crust. He postpones
groans to give receipts andtastes thru
the night in memory of the resulting
connections. Oh, | guess the cook
worries must be equal to mine when
he's sick.
Come to think of it, | believe
cooks occupation resembles that of
an editor considerably. He is minis
tering to the necessities, the wants
and the pleasures of his fellow men,
Sois editor. When his patrons ar
pleased and heartily contented he is
happy When they leave the table
hungr, his heart is wrung. So the ed
itor is happyor sorrowful according to
how his viands set ON thestomachs Of
his readers.
When tie cook is sick, he knows
someone else can prepar something to
eat known,too that it may bea con-
glomerate mass Of dough and schorch
particles-a mess to stop the cravings
of hunger perhaps, but not one to ma
his patrons look forward to the next.
I'm sick | guess most of you know
and writing comes awfully hard even
"a isck editor but the call of the col
umns is ringing in my ears. Other
people when they are sick may take
their bitter medicin, groan with pain
and long for the open sunshine, but
the editor, we'll, l must swallow my.
doses, true, but | use my pain signs
scribble about the blessed sunshine on
the fair earth and in the fair soul.
And when | have finished am so tired
so worn out body and soul that | for
get my ownadvice ito smile | neg
lect to exercise the JOY of cheerful
words4 and unheed of doing by 9TH
ers as would have them do by me-.
| frown, scold and / grumble. /
even write bitter things. Instead of
welcoming sunshine / long for the
shades of night.
That would be awful If 1t were true
but it isn't. l feel that 1t is but
/ can dispose Of it by logic. Anyone
of anv trade or profession has as har
harder. Take cook for instance.
Anybody can fill newspapers COL
umns three times over every week.
The trick is to fill the columns with
Just those things that will make the
