MUNICIPAL
DOCK GETS
BIG BOOST

The municipal dock project
got a big boost yesterday when
the municipal dock committee OF
business men went to Seattle and
got written agreement from the
Puget Sound Navigation company
that the company would move the
Indianapolis and put another
steamer, to be built later, into
the municipal dock If facilities
are furnished.
Joshua Green and Frank e.
Burns, president and general man.
ager respectively of the COM
pany, gave the committee a signed
letter which binds them to use
the dock if it is built.
Will Pay $175 Month.
The Indianapolis and Flyer
each pay the N. P. SITS a month
for dock rights. This would be
$4,000 year. In addition, all
the boats that would land there
would contribute sums in various
lesser amounts, so there would be
a permanent income which would
increase with the development of
traffic.
The Seattle company is anxious
to have the city get the dock, and
is ready to cooperate in any way.
The city has now practically
settled on the kind of bridge to
be erected there, and at the COM
mission meeting next Wednesday
a call for an election for a bond
issue to build the bridge and dock
will probably be made.
The dock will cost about $780,
600 for land and buildings, and
the bridge will cost $450,0OO. The
bridge has to be built anyway,
however, so the dock project alone
means about $350,00O.

THUS SAYETH JUDGE BURKE

Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with great, the
greatest pleasure that peek into your intellectual
faces this lovely evening and find the ntelhgent
voters of this wonderful little city so eager to learn
the great, might say the very great, t-ruut-h-s OF
stalwart republicanism.
At great personal inconvenience to myself have
consented, urged on by an overwhelming public sentl
ment to participate in this campaign. Only when
my old friend Jim HILL with tears in his eyes, grasped
me by the shoulders and looking squarely in my eyes
said: "Judge, it's up to you" did consent to sacri-
flee my personal interests and make this fight for the
good of those who built every line of track in this
state those who made your trees into good lumber
of those who have controlled your franchises your
mines, and your secretary of the interior.
have heard that one Wilson of Seattle, is also
testing this high honor with me, but and let deal
with you frankly in this matter, am advised by high
authority, might say the very highest authority,
that the big men, the leaders in industry, monopoly
and big business, do not believe Mr. Wilson will stay
htched; they know will. They fear that as in the
past the personal sefishness the greed for gain the
sordid commercalism in him may make him come
higher than he should while, ladies and gentlemen,
there can never be question as to price between
those great men and MYSELF I trust you see the
danger that lies in sending such an uncertain-quan-
tiy to represent chief industries in Washington
Then there is, of course one Pondexter but he can
be dismissed with word. He is the man who pre-
ferred to fight monopoly, rather great indus
trial leaders He fought Aldrch, and hurt Cannon's
feelings and generally tra1ed in the dust OF
righteous victory the gleeor-io-u-s flag that
sheltered Lincoln, and that now shelters Burke
We want safe, conservative, regular and properly
managed republcanism. We don't want the common
voters to dictate. We don't want great system
ried. And, most of all, must not have dear Jim
Hill fretted even for an instant
trust we in this glorius desires feel sure
we must be.
There other speakers who will doubtless enter
tain and instruct you and must close Let me add
one more thought before I leave you
Don't forget the grand old flag. Don't forget
Bunker Hill and Bull Run and Sherman's march
Don't worry about anything later than 1865. And
yemember that am safe, sane, sure and certain

(BY O. J.. b.

The result of the fall elections
will be either a step forward for
this repu bike, or relapse into the
clutches of the new aristocracy of
greed, whose only law Is its own
appetite. With the high cost of
living proved to be due to this
crew, the people are yet as dazed
and misled by their papers that
they cry: "These be our gods" F"

bluff traitor, Cannon; the sancti-
moniouS hypocrite, Rockefeller.
Locally, they get out am appeal to
Tacomans to emulate Seattle and
grab everything in sight, and the
dem take the hindmost. General
welfare, including local, is nothing
to them. Yet what has Tacoma
ever secured by such policies, and
what Is Seattle today, now that
the bubble of her fake standard is
bursting?

"Foulest, Basest Lie"
GAS far as / was concerned,
every man who visited the White
House did so openly, Hartman
as we'll as the others. / took no
money from Hartman, either Sc
cretly or openly, to buy votes or
for any other purpose. Whoever
wrote the article in question

"The statement in the Post is
not only false, but malicious; 1t
is not only a direct contradiction
of the facts, but is such that it
could only have been made by a
man who, knowing the facts, de-
liberately intended to pervert
