The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-03-03

William H. Murphy, who has been a member of
the city council for the past eleven years. has always
worked in the interest of the payers and at all
times for the building up of the city, and heng one of
the eighteen nominees for the city council he should
be elected of the nine councilmen In the pr-
mares he did not get many votes as Others who
were nominated but it is the concensus of opinion
now that the voters have had time to reflect that
sad mistake made and that Murphy, for his good
work for the city during his occupancy of the office of
councilman was deserving of as large vote as any
other candidate running 1t is fact that he is largely
responsible for the north end of the city getting i'm
provements that it has, which have developed it more
rapidly than any other section Of the city, For years
after he was elected to the council he was the only
councilman north of Lake Union and he worked for
the north end without ceasng.

Altogether too many persons in the United States
looking for government after they have grown
old and decrept and all because they have followed
some kind of work in which the government is to
extent interested and if you please, vitaly The
bill pending before the Washington legislature to
grant life pension to the school teachers, who have
served a number of years in that capacity should
be defeated and killed hard that the proposers of
such bill should likewise be politically killed and be-
yond the hope of resurrection The school teacher is
paid liberal salary for the work he or she does as
teacher and if the earnings of school teacher be
conservatvey invested it will be sufficient to maintain
said teacher after he she becomes too old to teach
Why not pension the chronic office holder and every
other kind of public parasite that thinks he would like
to make living by not exerting him or herself? One
3 as deserving as the other.

If the bill that has been passed by the house of
representatives of the Washington legislature the
gauntlet of the senate and the executive department.
will be unlawful for police judges and justices of
the peace to abuse prisoners at the bar aer they have
been found guilty Some of the representatives must
be police conrt lawyers and have heard their clients
verely reprimanded at the bar which is not right
and yet lower court judges always seem called upon
administer such tongue lash justice to those unfor
unates.

Seattle's grand jury is still grinding away, and so
far the general public is concerned it is either dong
nothing ping up indictments high that it
will take a of deputy sherffs two months &c
serve them ALL and the witnesses to the same. The
grand jury is to be congratulated for not reporting it's
daily work to the newspapers. Many witnesses are
being summoned before the body of inqustors, and
Judging from the who call on the body each day
it would that wide scope of affairs is being
gone over.

When the United States senate voted to indefinitely
postpone the bill giving the people the right to elect
United States senators by popular vote it did just
what the people expected the present members of the
senate would do, but time is coming when similar
bill will pass the senate and be signed by the pres-
dent with eagerness, because the people all the
country demand it. The old stand pat guard is dying
hard but there doubt of the fact that it is dying
and the sooner the better

1t has been recently brought out in the affairs of
the city that the superintendent of the ncnerator is
paid 1925 per month to burn the garbage of the city,
To the average business that almost astound
ing price to pay for that work. If the salary of that
superintendent was cut to 500 per month 1t would
then seem he was getting more than he is actually
worth The peoples money is voted away like spring
water and some halt should be called in that line.

Again Seattle has been turned down in the way of
recognition the bench of the state the
cancy created by the resignation of Judge Rudkin has
been filled by the governor appointing 0. G. Ellis
True enough the place rendered Harold Preston,
which he declined but there plenty of other Seat
ale attorneys deserving of the place, and in view of
the fact that Seattle furnishes one-fourth of all the
cases the supreme court has before it from time to
time, it does seem that she is entitled to than
one place the bench. But there is of crying
over split milk, it not done, and whatever is, is

Months ago The Seattle Republican took the posi-
ton that if the legislature would muster out the
tire National Guard of the state the tax payers would
be delighted The legislative committee that has been
investigating the affairs of the guard has recommend
ed that Col. George B. Lampng, Col. Otto Case Col.
Matt H. Gormey Col. William Inglis, Major E. G.
Grggs and Major Howard Darlington be retired from
the service and it arrived at such conclusion after
finding those officers had keptup contiual warfare
in the guard. Careless bookkeeping is also reported
and graft on the part of of the officials is also
limited.

From the Chronicle at Olympia it is learned that
unusually large run of smelts is found in the bay
that point and many tons taken by the local fish
and shipped to the larger cities. From the
price that the customers have to pay for TEEN in the
local markets of Seattle it would that there is
scarcity of them in the local markets of Seattle
and no over-suppy, but it matters not how many
sent in rather than cheaper the price the dealers will
dump them back into the bay

KEEP SHOULDERS STRAIGHT.

Comparatively few people have really evenly balanced shoulders there may not be much difference ac- cording to the casual observer, but dressmaker or tailor will make no secret of the fault. Of course, pad- ding is resorted to, but this does not always remedy the fault. The worse the deformity the more patient and persistent effort is required. Because the right shoulder dips just trifle, do not ignore the fact, for middle age will find the trouble to have progressed considerably. Take your place in stiff backed chair and practice raising and lowering the higher shoulder for 20 to 30 times a day. In fact, practice this exercise whenever the occasion will permit. Keep the back erect against the back of the chair, and you will soon see an improvement.

The South Pittsburg Hustler and
Mr.. H. r. Gillian are passing some
interesting reading about the pixies.
Our sizing up of the situation is about
this: The pixies we're built honestly
enough until the money got low, and
then anything was good enough The
first miles laid we're laid according to
specifications and where drained prop
erly have not broken through. OF
course the upper surface wore off ex-
posing the broken rock. This was
caused by the wearing of travel, auto.
mobiles doing the most of the wear,
and the action of the elements, wind
and rain taking off surface equally as
fast. Even where the surface of road
was constructed of ridge gravel instead
of crushed lime rock, ordinary travel
did not break through until hickory
wagons, lumber wagons and log wag-
ons got busy in the very worst of
weather, and the places first to break
through were where the drainage was
log wagon with three big logs on it,
on piece of road that is really float
ing on mud 1t will break through.
One thing we are willing to concede
is that too much money was spent in
engineering and changing location of
roads. The mistake was to allow the
pixies to remain uncared for. In
France man is placed on a section of
pike to keep it mended, who goes over
it each day making repairs, and all
the money coming to the roads from
road tax along each pike should have
been spent on it in this way. The on
ly way to keep the pixies is to have
them repaired. They will wear out
like anything else.
