Editor Tacoma Tines ttssH-f
When the new form of govern
ment first began to be spoken of
by the people of Tacoma it was
the cry of everyone that now the
people shall have something to say
as to whom shall be candidates
for the office OF mayor of our city,
and take the matter out of the
hands of ward heelers and politi-
clans.
But in the light of recent
events, / fail TO see where there
is any Improvement on the old
method it seems to me the best
way would be to call map con-
vention of the people mot in the
Tacoma hotel, however), and give
the common herd chance to say
as to the man best qualified to
fill the office of mayor of our
hustling young city.
With benefit to the commune
ty and honor to himself, Mr.. Edi.
tor, I think the time has arrived
in the life of this prosperous
young city of ours, having such
and varied interests, tc
TRY and place man at the helm
of the city government who has
the true American snap and push
not some fossil who has been Q
chronic officeseeker all his life
the refuse of all parties, rag OF
every bush.
I am sorry to see the apathy and
indifference existing among the
voters of the city. They should
crawl out of their holes and reg
lister, for 1t Is well known fact
that the Indifference of the voters
is the opportunity Of the politician
/ believe this is matter in which
every voter should have a voice te
name his choice of candidates fol
mayor.
What's the matter with Allen @
Mason, the original Tacoma
booster A man who did prodig
ious work for Tacoma when she
was struggling youngster and
needed the help of just such men
although not having the pleasurs
of Mr.. Mason's acquaintance,
nevertheless admire his true
Yankee spirit of push and energy
had the pleasure Of listening
to an address delivered by Mr.. Ma
son many years ago, at the cere
mony of laying the cornerstone o.
the Chamber of Commerce build
ling, when he spoke in such, al
earnest and hopeful way of tn,
great future. In commercial way
of the City of Destiny.
am glad Mr.. Mason still live
here, to realize the most OF hi
hopeful predictions. believe 1
the matter was laid before Mr.
Mason In It's true light by a com
Imittee of our business men h,
would consent to put aside hi
own inclinations as against tn
call of his fellow citizens in thei

Editor Times,

Editor Times:
A certain afternoon paper here
In Tacoma makes great mistake
II the editor thinks that he can
fool the people by misrepresenta-
tion.
In an editorial of last evening
II is claimed that the negro who
was arrested in Cairo was guilty
OF murder and outrage OF a white
woman. That is not true; the
crime charged was purse snatch
ing. All decent papers nowadays
seek to uphold the arms of the
Law, but this publication by mis-
representation seeks to create a
sentiment that Is destructive OF
peace and not afraid to have ne
eroes assist in fighting the battles
OF the common country, and the
fact that the sheriff did not call
upon negroes until he had found
no response from the whites ought
to satisfy the most fastidious. II
IL out Of the fashion now to up
hold mobs and lynch law. The
people of Tacoma do not need any
such stuff as this afternoon paper
seeks to dish up. Race troubles
will come soon enough without
trying to feed the flames Of
prejudice by Misrepresentation OF
facts.
II the writer Of that editorial
was ever mixed up with negroes
ycu may rest assured that that wal
nothing beneficial to either part,
jn the affair.
II the press Is to be considered
the palladium 81 liberty. the pres
must uphold the right regardless
