A THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN,
Mcbride ON PERSONS AND THINGS
By A. G. MCBRIDE

visitors will bring him to his senses, and
though he will probably continue to smile,
it will be different smile that Judge Brown
produced. We have often heard it said be
ware of the chronic smiler"
When you go to the court house take
look at Cashier Grant, in the clerks office.
You will not only be struck with his good
looks, but equally SO with his bland smile
and lamb-like demeanor. You wouldn't
take him for much of fighter, would you?
and you will be astonished to know that
he was one of the leaders in the fight that
made Crawford good. Those Rainier Beach
warriors deserve a monument and some
medals, too
I deplored the apparent lack of good, we'll
seasoned material for governor in the last
issue of the Republican and since then, one
of our citizens, Mr.. W. P. Trimble, has been
named as a suitable man. I am going to
look this man over and tell you about him
later on His friends claim he is just what
we need, but I want to know for myself
Councilmen Griffths and Erickson will
please stand up and listen. Your friend,
Crawford, of the Seattle Renton and South
ern, who recently developed signs of being
good, has broke out again in new spot.
The city limits extend a number OF blocks
beyond Taylor's Mill, but Crawford has es-
tablished the fve-cent limit at that place,
and patrons living within the city limits,
but past the mill, are compelled to walk to
their homes from that place, for the reason
that he will not stop his cars at the city
line, or between there and the mill. here
are a great many people living down there
who, for the reasons stated, must walk Tor
blocks night and morning, which could be
avoided if Crawford would stop his cars at
the city line 1t will probably take an ordi-
nance and Judge Brown to get move on
him. and we urge immediate action.
Our "Teddy" does not agree with lafts
ideas of universal arbitration. At first blush,
one would think Taft was right, and on
re-hearine one knows that he is way off
wrong. Who would consent to arbitrate
orr right to enforce the Monroe Doctrine!
It is doubtful if it is worth fighting for, but
the people believe in it,
President Taft recently opened his 1917
campaign at Hamilton, Mass, in vigorous
assault on the Democrats in general, and
on Senator La Toilette, Clark and Under
wood in particular.
Not wishing to be outcome, no. llol oVc c
by a President, Our King County sherlf
opened his campaign for governor OF the
state on last Tuesday in vigorous and
well organized attack on the West Seattle
police.
How many votes these two candidates
made in their grand debut, the papers do
not state, and then from conflicting reports,
it cannot at this time be told what amount
of injury the parties attacked sustained
1t appears, however, that Sheriff Hodge
engaged in verbal warfare with his old
time enemy, Policeman Foraker, and being
worsted in this harmless combat, sought to
even up by engaging the West Seattle guar
dian of the peace in a personal encounter
The King County peace officer ordered his
speedest county automobile and with his
chauffeur for squire, this modern Don
Ouixote and Sancho Panza issued forth, as
