"Mjoht Hawai-"

I have lived my life. and / face the end.
But that other life l might have led
Where lay the road, and who was its
friend,
And what was the goal when the years
were fed?
Where lay the road? Did 1 miss the turn ?
The friend unknown? Our greetings un-
said?
And the goa %unsought? Shall I never
learn
What was that life I might have led?
AS the springs last look for one dear day
From skies autumnal on earth may
bend,
So lures me that other life-but, nay!
! have lived my life, and l face the end.

Believes PatroImen Should Watcl,
Each Other and Report TO the
Chief--MayOr Wants Efficiency of
the Department Increased as Much
as Possible.

Patrolmen Darius w. Bell and
Frank Wilhelm who were recently
suspended from the police force on
charges of direlectiOn of duty, will
not retire from the department as
they had first Intended As soon as
their period of suspension Is up, they
will resume their duties on the force.
"They won't get rid of us so easy
as they anticipated" remarked one of
the patrolmen today. Patrolman
Wilhelm had rendered his resigna-
ticn to Chief Klinefeter to take effect
April 1st. When he was suspended
the mayor informed him that he
could not resign until after the term
of suspension had elapsed. Now
Wilhelm has decided not to resign
at all. Wilhelm will return to the
force within a few days, while Bell
Will get back early next month.
Since the suspended patrolmen have
decided to remain on the force, there
will be but little change in the de-
partment. 1t is likely that officer
Slagle will resign in short time to
take up his duties in his machine
shop on Mill street.
There seems to be some doubt as tc
whether Patrolmen Bell and Wilhelm
were legally suspended The officers
believe that they will be able to col
lect at least part pay for the period
of their lay off. The mayor. how
ever, Is confident that the men can
not collect for the time when they
were not working and claims that h'
has never been the least bit worried
over the possibility of having to pay

W. ong, and who want to see this
city of homes with a clean, honor
able government, our men stand
back with no seeming interest.
Mr.. Editor, this is not only
cowardly, but ungallant, and be-
fore men allow themselves to be-
come so lax In the affairs of gov
eminent. They should give the
women a chance to protect them
selves, and children. Do these
'dilatory men know that the work
ers of evil will be sure to register
and vote? And do they know
that a great necessity may come
for the votes of our best citizens
before another chance to register,
when they will be in line with
lunatics, idiots, criminals, and
women? We appeal to our pro-
tectors CD to protect us. If you
have steered the ship into shallow
water, or among dangerous reefs,
my brothers, is it manly to forsake
it while women and children are
on board without even an oar in

"BWANA TUMBO'
BONNET

If there's to be a "chantecler"
hat, the Times suggests the DIVA
ma Tumbo" bonnet.
Why not?
Here's Col. Roosevelt coming
home with a record of about TO-
900 trophies of his hunting expe-
dition to Africa. Count EN-
10000. And at most there's only
100 fowls in that chantecler barn
lyard thing.
A reporter for the Times visited
a lot of millinery shops to boost
the editors "Bwana Tumbo" bon
net bunch, and found all the con-
tractors who build skyscrapers for
milady very enthusiastic. They
said that a hippo superstructure
on a structure of braid and straw
need not be either too heavy for
wear or topheavy either. A lion
or rhino or any other animal for
millinery purposes may be made
of very light material.
They admitted that the "Bwana
Tumbo" bonnet would be rather
striking.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-03-14
Tacoma, March 10, 1910.

To the Editor of the Times:
j noticed a letter in today's
Times from S. L. Fall, in which
he says: THE trusts are what the
politicians of both parties claim to
be the chief issue today. If they
should smash the trusts, who
would be benefited? These patri-
OTIS says the tariff is the cause of
their existence and must be re-
duced. Let these apostles of low
tariff and trusts look at England s
great prosperity under this condi-
ton. Any student of current
events knows that England's mass
Sc, especially in the great cities,
are on the verge of starvation. 4"
Then he goes on to say, what
folly for the great statesmen to
try to bamboozle the common
people with such tommyrot!"
l think if Mr.. Fall had consid-
cred little he would have con-
cluded that England could not
reasonably be compared with
America in this respect. To cut a
long story short, America can feed
herself, England cannot; America
can clothe herself, England can
not. In other words, England is
dependent. See the point?
Then there's another question
that appeals to the average mind
how is it the English retailer can
sell American trust goods cheaper
than the wholesaler can buy 1t
here? There's no two ways about
it, England must have cheap food,
and the country that fails to sup
ply that would soon be back
number in the English market
and the trusts know it.
1t goes without saying that
America is we'll equipped by nature
to keep up the high tariff wall,
but don't you think we will have
to alter the Lords prayer pretty
soon and put it something like
this, 1--WE trust the trust will give
us our daily bread? When a
corporation gets the money mania
there's going to be something do
ing. But, then, suppose we
mustn't be too hard on them
they have to make a living.
Yours respectfully,
A READER.
