A few church members and a

Has He Been True.
The question before the people
now (and the common people
know this, trust MOI is not wheth-
or or not Mr.. Seymour is a better
man morally or a more competent
man mentally than Mayor Fawcett,
the question is:-has this man
Fawcett betrayed the people who
elected him to office? Has he
shown such incompetency or lack
of moral stamina as to warrant
his. expulsion from office at the
very beginning of his term and
thus have his reputation besmirch-
ed wherever a newspaper Is read
in our country? What facts have
his detractors set forth as suffic-
lent cause to destroy a mans re-
putation as IL 1t were Of no more
consequence than the snuffing out
of candle?
Mr.. Seymour was a citizen of
Tacoma a year ago. Why did not
his friends whose needs seem all of
a sudden SO great, bring him for
ward then and herald his good
qualities? To have elected him
then would have meant disgrace to
Inc candidate. His election now
lmeans an effort to disgrace man
who has done more for the COM
mon people of Tacoma in six
months than the old bunch could
accomplish in 10 years or ever
would accomplish unless they had
a change of heart.
:. Recall Cause.
Mr. Seymour knows as we'll as
the most common man or woman
among us that the mayors recall
is the result of the anti-treating
ordinance, and Mr.. Seymour ad-
mits that the enforcement of this
law would be worth ten years of
his life, yet he is willing to bind
himself to the enemies of this or
dinance to disgrace the father of
lit. If Mr.. Seymour had his white

QUEENS TALLER
THAN KINGS

With two exceptions the
queens of all the European
countries are said to be taller
than their husbands. Queen
Helen is more than a head
taller than the king Of Italy,
Queen Victoria is more than
half a head taller than Alton
so of Spain. The czar looks
small beside the czarina. The
German empress is a trifle
taller than the kaiser, and
for that reason always sits
when their photographs are
taken together. King George
of England is shorter than
Queen Mary. The two excep-
lions are the queen of Nor
way and the new queen of
the Belgians.

live up to the anti-treating law
or he will have to meet recall.
The Times did not favor the law.
1t printed both sides of the ques-
ton 1t gave every man a chance
to speak his little piece for or
against the law but the people
voted for it and the man who sue
ceeds Fawcett will have to enforce
the law or the people will know
about it.
1t Is not often that one paper
will say what we are now saying
about another. Few papers have
the courage to praise another but
in this instance the Progressive
Democrat is only giving credit
where credit is due.

Editor Times:
The real cause of the violent
opposition to Mayor Fawcett on
the part of one of our dailies is
his municipal ownership ideas.
Mayor Fawcett is right about the
city owning our telephone and
street car systems, and engaging In
other municipal enterprises, and
our people should not be misled
at this critical time by the wiles
and intrigues of the secret corpo-
ration influence back of the op-
position to him. Mr.. Seymour is
not advocating these advanced
ideas, and therefore should be de-
this line, and not one who must
be pushed.
Not only public service corpora
tons should be owned by the
City, but why not Industries, ten
ements, and even certain lines Of
commercial enterprises. There
will certainly be steel mills in this
section in the course of few
years. 1t would DO vastly better
for the cities of this section to
build and operate their own steel
mills than for them to wait on
the steel trust to build them and
reap the enormous profits to be
made out of the steel industry in
this section. Tacoma should issue
bonds and build a $1,000,000 steel
mill now. That it would make
handsome profit is beyond any
reasonable doubt, and the dis
bursements of the enormous wage
roll would benefit every other in
dustry in Tacoma. This wage dis
bursement would continue for all
time. There is really no reason
why the people of city should
not combine to create an industry
to give themselves employment.
Mr.. Fawcett has shown himself
eager to advance the city's posi-
ton at every opportunity, has
made no false steps, and because
the Bell Telephone company and
other corporations are seeking his
downfall with a candidate who
appeals especially to the women
voters, it is the duty of the men
and women voters to be on their
guard that the city's welfare is
not sacrificed.

THE TIMES.
The Tacoma Times has done
more for Tacoma than any one
thing in Tacoma. 1t has done
more to expose corruption and
make politicians be square thar
any other agency. Mounts would
never have resigned as superin
visor of roads had it not been fol
the Times. The politicians hate
the Times as the "old nick" does
hold water. The big interests
would give thousands of dollars to
have the Times out of Tacoma. An
honest daily paper in Tacoma car
be source of more good than any
other institution. The Times fills
the bill in that respect.
Backing Mayor Fawcett by
showing up the interests against
the municipal dock the Times gave
to Tacoma one of the best insti
tutions that the city ever owned
Backing up the Green river pro-
position by the Times will give Ia
coma the finest water in the
Northwest. Backing up the power
plant by the Times will make Ia.
coma the cheapest place for cleo
tric power in the country.
The Times may say some nasty
things about some people. II
may expose a lot of corruption that
ioes not look good in print but
it is a paper like the Times that
will cause the evil doer to fear
the law and the officers of the
law to enforce it.
The saloon men hope to beat
A. ". Fawcett, they hope to be
able to evade the anti-treating law

day but they had better pull their
fight from Fawcett. 1t matters

Commissioner Edwards on the job. The collectors of ashes and gar
bage thought they could defy the municipality, imperil the public
health by leaving the ctys wastes ungathered. and gain their point
by sssaulting the men that took their places. Little time was needed
TO show them they were mistaken.
Now their allies, the teamsters engaged by sub-contrsctors to
remove the snowfall, presume to punish the city authorities for
putting down the ashcan wal by striking. They are trying again
to imperl the public health and inconvenience traffic. To quote the
words of the union official who ordered them out, Having already
spent over half a million of the city's money in the employment OF
strikebreakers to take the places of the striking sanitary teamsters,
We now want the Mayor to burn come more barrels of the chys money

punishment. Public opinion will support him when be confronts the

city can worry along for a while even il the snow is piled but not
removed. As Mr.. Edwards says, let it melt. Warmer weather is in
sight, and smaller cities would pay no attention to a snowfall no
greater than this. Better have the city inexperienced than have
it abdnate to teamsters-whose strike will inconvenience themselves
more than anybody else. ,sj. a.,
