expose. in Seattle, it will be just like
some paragrapher to say: 1t is a
hazard to doctor with the old gal
Linda-from reports.
Here is the way the sporting edi-

ing about an ego! I'll wager the
heading makes Baxter, sporting ed-
tor of the P.-L, laugh himself to
sleep every night.
OF course DR.. Linda Hazard will
not wish to see the list of patients,
who are dead, that she treated
published in the papers. Certainly
not. No more so than would a doc
tor of any other creed like to see Il
list of patients who he treated, but
died while his patient-printed in
the newspapers.

The P-I and Times, OF Seattle,
may have thrown their hammers into
the fire in that city when the " burn
ing of the hammer" antic took place,
all right. But if they did, they
must surely have ordered new ham,

freak episode of burning the ham

| have observed in my wanderings
over this old planet, that some en-
ployers always look at the clock with
frOwning face. when an employe
comes to work five minutes late.
But when the same employe works
an hour, perhaps longer, overtime,
for this same employer, he (the en-
ployer) never looks at the clock. lr

ployerS face you'd never suspect
that he knows what clock looks
like. Have you ever known employ
ers OF this sort?
President Taft in telling the peO-
pie OF Arizona what they cannot
have in the Constitution of their
State, becomes nothing more nor less
than q dictator. The people of Ari-

their State Constitution it's up to
them. and not President Taft, to say
how the Constitution shall be framed.
AS regards Arizona Statehood there
has been too much Taft.

If you are Democrat, Republican,
Socialist, or a member of any politi-
cal party. don't hide your light.
Show your colors; nail 'em to the
masthead. so to speak, and let every
man. woman, child and the dog,
know what political party you be-
lieve in. Don be afraid to tell anv
one who you are conversing with
your boss. your grocerymen, your
landlord, your hired man, or even
your motherin-law, what political
flag you sail under. Be man or a
mouse, as Robert Burns says.

torney on Fourth street, Saturday,
Mr.. Blank asked the lawyer for an
account. The lawyer told him out
Of friendship for him, he wouldn't
charge him cent. Old Mr.. Blank
