THERE'S ANOTHER DAY COMING

"Thumbs down" was the attitude of
the city council Monday evening on the
street ear ordinance The real interest
of the Stone Webster Co. and the fan
cied interests of the street car employees
put in the scale against the wishes of
the people killed the ordinance. No
surprising thing about 1.-THE council
hasn't shown that very much is to be
expected of it. Do the statesmen in
the city hall realize that they are dig
ging their own political graves and that
they turned out few more shovelfuls
of earth when they killed the street
car ordinance by unanimous voter They
appear to hold the ward improvement
clubs in supreme contempt and are
doubtless laughing in their sleeves at
the way they slipped one over on them.
They don't seem to realize that the
ward clubs came into being primarily
because the people grew tired of being
misrepresented in the city hall. He
laughs best who laughs last, Mr., Coun-
Gilman, and the voters may have cause
for laughter after the next municipal
election. Don't value those ward clubs
too lightly. It's members are remem-
bering all these councilmanic flip
flops.

Six police heads fell into the pasket

in view of the city's financial stress. 1t
Is assumed, too that the closing of the
saloons lessons the need of the quota
of men formerly employed to guard
the peace of Everett. As no written
charges were preferred against any of
the men let out, citizens are wondering
if the former policemen have cause for
action against the city and if in the
future suits at law may not be insti-
tuted to collect back pay, thereby fur
ther adding to the city's financial tale
of woes. Opinion seems to be divided
rs to the power of the police and fire
TO remove the men as was
done. Some contend that it was a di-
rect violation of the charter and of
civil service rules. while others contend
that financial emergency existed and
that the courts would uphold the city
Another cause of com
plant seems to be that the men We're
not dismissed in order of service.
The statement has been made that
there are five men still on the force
younger in point of service under the
civil service rules than any of those
let out It's pretty mix up all
around and one that is causing no end

PLAN SCHOOLS FOR OPEN AIR.

Milwaukee, Wis.,Feb. 3.-As quietly
as they secured options on the vast
property sites along the water front
which they propose to turn into park,
and sites for homes for workingmen
the socialist city fathers of Milwaukee
are now securing options on land all
over the city for the establishment of
out of door schools for the entire school
population of Milwaukee.
For Tubercular Children.
Open-air schools for tubercular school
children have been inaugurated in all
parts of the country, but if Mayor Sci
del has his way, the school building is
doomed in Milwaukee.
Education of children said Mayor
Seidel, must be allied with healthy
conditions, and that is question in
which we should all be vitally inter
ested.
|, as father, may give my child
the very best possible education, You
may neglect yours. Some day our chill
dren are bound to meet.
Influence Each Other.
IF either of the two is deficient in
health or morals or education, it must
affect the other, Hence, in order to
protect my own child against disease,
| must be concerned about the health
of your child as well.
The health problem, ii it is to be
solved, must be solved in a way that
will be easily accessible to the whole
mass of the people Only in that way
can we insure our country strong chill
dren, morally and physically, who will
grow to be strong men and women.
ITO bring about these conditions, |
hold that among the other reforms
planned our school children should re-
eeive schooling in open air and spend
less time in stutfy and unsanitary
school rooms.
"All lessons, when and where posi-,
bic, should be taught in the open air
"A child tends mo become per.
verted, physically as v, IS mentally

DOES SECRET
PACT EXIST?
Uncle Sam Seems Peculiar
ly Anxious For Continu-
alton of Rule of Presi-
dent DiaZ

1t wasn't so long ago that we have
forgotten how near the three Mexican
refugees who lay in jail in Los An
geles and TuscOn came to being turned
over to the tender mercies of President
Diaz of Mexico. Many believe that had
it not been for the storm of protest
that arose from every part of the
United States, those men would now
be rotting in Mexican dungeons, if a
worse fate had not been theirs. The
case of the Mexican refugees happened
not so long after President Taft and
President Diaz held their brotherly
chin fest on the banks of the Rio
Grande. Then along came the uprising
against the despotic rule of Diaz The
general public was left in state of
positive bewilderment by the conflict
ing press reports of the trouble. One
day the insurgents rose up and smote
the government hip and thigh and the
next day the rebellion was over, the
rebel forces crushed as before. Asso-
ciated Pres. has licked the rebel forces
every other day for the past three
months. But the cat with its proverbial
nine lives is nowhere when the Mexican
rebel forces are taken into consideration.
Late dispatches credit them with hav-
ing surrounded the city of Juarez, just
across the river from FL Paso. Now
look what happens. Associated Press
dispatches again credit our government
with seriously considering the advisa-
bilty of moving the United States
troops into Juarez to protect Ameri
can interests" There is scarcely dol
lar of American money invested in
Juarez in legitimate enterprises.
Juarez is big racing centes,
since betting on horse racing has come
under the ban of the law in so many
states, the big racing interests have
moved over to Juarez. The sport of
kings flourishes over there, and of
course, American money is heavily in
terested in that enterprise. Those are
the american interests in Juarez"
that the government would protect.
Associated Press dispatches tell us
as well of request from the Diaz
government to be allowed to move
portion of its troops across onto Amer
lean soil and then back again into Mex
leo. You see the rebels had the gov
ernment troops in hole and Uncle
Sammie was to be used to gain a geo.
graphical advantage for the Diaz troops.
Did you ever hear of the law of ma
tions that prohibits the movement of
armed troops across neutral soil i'll
time of hostility? What is the law be-
tween friends. One wonders what kind
of pact was formed between Taft and
Diaz when they clasped hands on the
International Bridge.
If the United States keeps its oar
out of this trouble Diaz is due for a
lovely licking and he knows it. Amer
lean life and American property in
Mexico should receive all the protection
this government is able to extend, but
the use of American military force to
help Diaz keep his tyrannical old gov
ernment alive will be resented by every
American with red blood in his veins.
We don't believe our government will
prostitute itself for the Diaz regime
because we don't believe our citizen
ship will stand for it.

WAS
HUGE JOKE
St. Louis Citizens Not OPP
Observation-Disclosures
But Objected To Fake
Measure Proposed

Mayor Kressman, of st. Louis, in an
interview while in Seattle recently, at
tributed the defeat of the proposed
charter in his city to the recall prOvi
sion. He was reported to have claimed
that the recall created spirit of un-
rest and turmoil among the people and
that the solid citizens of st. Louis vot-
ed against the charter mainly because
of the recall provision. Here are the real
reasons for the defeat of the charter
The proposed charter would have con
centrated all the power of the city i'll
the hands of the mayor and a council
of fifteen members. A two-thirds ma
iorty of the council could remove the
mayor. The charter made the offices
of counsellor, treasurer, register and
marshal appointive instead of elective.
There was recall measure put in
the charter, but it -. fake, pure
and simple, as it provided that before
it could be invoked, 35 900 qualified
voters must sign the petition, and each
signature must be attested by oath.
To get $4,000 voters to sign a petit
ton and then get each to attest his
signature, would have been super
human task, and made a farce of the
measure.
Furthermore, this proposed recall
could only be invoked at the Noyem-
Der election, after the mayor had serv
ed eighteen months If he was recalled
he would continue to hold office for
six months longer until his successor
was elected at the succeeding spring
election

SUNNY JIM
IS THRIFTY
Liberal American Public
Hands Its Representa-

Perquisites

BY Clyde II. Tavenner in Wheeling
Majority.
Some of the reasons why the cost of
running the government is increasing
so fast and why it would really be
possible for Senator Aldrich to save
the people a lot of money if he would
run the government as business man
would run it are revealed in the report
of Secretary of the Senate Bennett for
the fiscal year 1910.
Vice President James S. Sherman
drew on the people for $1,000 to main
tain touring car. He kept track of
every puhcture dlting the year and
saw to it that the people stood the
damage. 1t might be presumed that
after the government had presented
the vice president with a handsome
car, the man of the sunny disposition
would at least insist upon providing
the driver Mr.. Sherman, however, not
only charged the chauffeur's salary up
to the people, but permitted the tax
payers to reimburse him for the auto
drivers railroad fare back and forth
between Washington and Utica, n. Y,
Mr.. Sherman's home town. But this
isn't all. The vice president made the
people even pay for his chauffeurs
coat and pants" (See page 7O2 of re
port.
Senator Simon Guggenheim, of Colo
RADIO, one hundred times q millionaire
and then some, has his daily newspa
pers and all the kilograms for the year
charged up to the government.
Senator William Lorrimer, of Illinois,
apparently had urgent business with a
man named Browne, of Ottawa, ILL.,, and
charged the telegram up to the people.
Lee O'Nell Browne, who was charged
with having hand in bribing legisla-
tors to vote for Lorrimer, lives at
Ottawa, ILL.,, and it is more than barely
possible that the two Brownies are one
and the same. Oh, you Illinois states
men! Senator Lorrimer also did con
siderable telegraphing to the Chicago
beef barons-at the expense of the peo-
pie. The nature of the business is not
revealed.
The report intimates that when Sena-
tor Tom Carter of Montana, escorted
the members of the irrigation commit
tee on a trip to the west to investigate
irrigation projects, the party travelled
like kings, using private diners, draw
ing rooms and tipping the porters and
attendants with lavish hand-al
ways, of course, with the peoples mon
ey. For two days side trip in three
automobiles from Casper, Wyo., to
Pathfinder Dam on Sept. Z, 1910, the
Montana senator spent $3.50 for trans
portation alone. Although no one
knows of any irrigation projects at Sc
attle, Wash, three senators and attend
ants managed to spend $$125.30 for
board and lodging" at Seattle in two
days. In the meantime their luxurious
private cars sat on siding unused.
Senator Carter must have been a good
spender. Fees and porterage and "in-
cidentals" for which no vouchers were
obtained ran into the hundreds of dol
lars.
Some of the things the senators in
Washington made the people pay for
were; Eight dozen lady scissors and
one dozen manicure scissors.

Initiative, Referendum and Recall.

House Bill No. 61, providing amend
ments to the state constitution by the
initiative, passed the house on Jan. 81
being amended to increase the number
of signers from per cent to 10 per
cent.
Those voting against this bill were
Beach, of Mason Co.; Byerly, of Cow
litz Co.; Conner, of Skagit Co.; Driss-
Ter, of Pacific Co.; Eshelman, of Spo-
kane Co.; Fisher, of Clallam Co.; Fos-
ter. of King Co.; Ghent, of King Co..

son Co.; Stephens, w. E., of Spokane
Co.; Webster, of King Co.
Absent Candy, of Spokane Co.; Me
MILAN, of Whatcom Co.; Scales, of Lew
is Co.; Shut, of Pierce Co.
This is splendid showing for the
initiative and we believe that the bill
providing for the enactment of Laws
under the initiative and referendum
(H. B. No. 159) will pass the house by
practically the same vote.
The senate has not considered these
measures, but will take them up early
this week.
