RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRESS

We speak confidently of ''the people, coming into
their own. We glad in the depths of our hearts
that the shadows of old despotsm and hereditary
monarchies and castles lifting from the world;
that have found that electing represent atives''
who imposed upon trust, who repudiated their
pledges who constituted themselves masters instead
of servants and who could not be removed without
exhaustive impeachment proceedings, has been but
slightly better than "divine right of kings
But democracy means responsibility, personal
aertness, activity, study Candidates must be pedg
ed to good measures against bad ones; punish
ment must be swift and certain for office holders who
betray their trusts The tools OF the initiative, refer
endum recall the direct primary, and forth, must
be easy of and applied in the light of intelligence
How, then, without the ''fourth estate are the
people to into their own without disaster? The
newspapers must gather the news not pile up parti-
and biased reports. The newspapers must pre-
sent sides fairly give undoctored figures, suppress
detail averse to their own theories favor wrong
in high places, cease to be "party organs" and be-
come watch-towers of the public in wider, higher,
truer sense than ever before.

TACOMA'S CITY ATTORNEY,
FORMERLY SUPREME COURT
JUDGE, TALKS ON THE DE-
LAYS OF THE LAW, AND OF
AN ATTEMPT TO BE MADE
TO BETTER THEM.

Mrs. Kvalshaug was acquitted
of numbering her husband after
she had admitted guilt and had
cost the county $4,000.
Judge Dunworth dismissed a
white SLAYER on a technically after
he had declared from the bench
the man was guilty and he had to
be rearrested and the expense of a

tailed.

and colld not make them them

These and similar instances of
daily occurrences have caused d
growing sentiment that there Is
something wrong in the courts.
The sentiment Is taking shape in
the demand for the judicial recall.

They're Calling Him the John
A. Johnson of Washington

SEATTLE, July 1.-THE
John A. Johnson of Washington. A."
That's the way he was referred
to at a Seattle city council meet
ing recently. The applause and
cheers proved that the title had
stuck.
He's a fighter, is Erickson. His
fighting record in Seattle Is I'M
furnished.
He's Independent, to boot. The
Washington constitution prohibits
public officials from riding on
passes. The city charter permits
the use of passes. The state con-
stitution provides no penalty for
accepting passes, so many Seattle
public officials have been in the
habit of ignoring the state law.
When the Seattle street railway
company sent the customary pass
to Erickson, after he became
councilman, Erickson promptly
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1911-07-12

sent 1t back with a mighty curt
note.
That's Erickson. With him a
thing is right or wrong. And some
technical legal construction does
not make a wrong thing right.
Like Johnson of Minnesota, Err
ickson started life as a farmer boy
in the Gopher state. He is a car
penter by trade and Single
Taxer.
Democrats are predicting a DEM
ocratic landslide in the next Wash
ington election. Erickson polled
sc, 1000 votes when he was elected
to the council. And the man who
can poll 10000 votes in Seattle
is good political timber.
And it's the governors chair
they're thinking of, these Wash
ington democrats when they refer
to Erickson, the John A. johnson

 It has been known that Princess Kenia AleXandrovna Gelitzin. beautiful and delicate woman, is now, by order of her husband, Prince Ga1itzin on a march of HOO miles from kurgan, in Siberia, to Moscow. The returning convoy of con victs, of which her highness is part, con- sists of some 400 persons-inen, women and children. They expect to cover the long and weary route in about three months. l
 This Princess, who used to bathe in champagne and asses milk. must live oh coarse black bread and buckwheat soup, and, except when the marching party passes a river. cannot even aspire to wash her face and hands. Her nights, form erly spent in palaces, she has to spend in wayside prisons en route to Moscow hor- rible dens, in which 40 square feet afford sleeping room for 15o grown persons, not counting the children.
