COMMISSIONERS REFORM
Christianson, Brodeck and Thomp-
son Decide to Earn the Money
Paid Them by City of Everett.
CHANGE TAKES PLACE SEP
TENDER 8.

A reporter from the Commonwealth
secured imaginary interviews with Ev-
erett's three commissioners this week
and handed in the following informa-
ton:
Thompson and Christianson were
found on the corner of Colby at 11:0O
Upon being asked about the finances of
Everett, Mr.. Christianson said: "You
will have to ask Mr.. Ford or Nj Gil
man about those things-they are very
capable men and they do all the work" ,"
Upon being asked about pubhv works
Mr. Thompson said ''Why, my dear
sir, Web Hoover and the Everett con-
tractors are looking after those things.
I have turned the Oakes avenue i'm
provement over to Mr.. Ffolliott, who is
an expert in such things. You must ex-
cuse Mr.. Christianson and myself this
morning as we are busy with certain de-
tails of the Lake Stevens motor races"
Our reporter caught Mr.. Brodeck as
he was entering his car at 2:3O p. m. to
90 out for = little spin. About public
safety he said: "Our policemen's new
uniforms look nobby, do they not? The
detail of selecting the brass buttons re-
auired considerable attention. You may
ask Chief Headley or Chief Kraby about
the affairs of the police department, and
see Al Taro about the fire department
They are all capable men and have full
charge of their departments [, per-
sonally, am interested this week in not
ing the plans of the Industrial Exposi-
tion, which 1 believe will divert trade
to Everett"
The day following these interviews
the Commonwealth reporter secured the
following statement from the three com
missioners:
''Having noted in the Herald a tend
ency to criticize commission government
on the basis that We are doing absolute
ly nothing to earn our salaries, we have
formed the following plan to take effect
September 81
"Mr. Christianson will discharge Mr.
Gilman and do the work of controller
"Mr. Thompson will use his knowledge
of contracting to start improvement by
day labor.
'NIr. Brodeck will discharge Mr.. Head
ly and become chief of police.
"We wish to thank the Common
wealth for its uniform support Of our
administration and to criticize the Her
aid for the detestabIe knocking that has
made US get to work"
Notioe-The editor of the Common
wealth has a pet bull dog who tries
TO leave home with every stranger who
passes. He will bet this valuable dog
against the First National bank that
,here is not word of truth in the above
stories. The reporter of the stuff came
from "Topsy- y-Turvyville.'

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
WHEREAS, President RoosC

WHEREAS, ex-President Roosevelt
was directly asked to state his position
ON questions of vital Importance to every
American at this time and failed to avail
himself of the opportunity to put him
self fairly before the people; and,
WHEREAS, his record while president
of the United States was absolutely un-
American as the following will show:
Mr.. Roosevelt appointed a majority of
Roman Catholics to the supreme court
of the Philippines
He appointed Roman Catholic secre-
tary of education of the Philippines, and
of 3,70O Roman Catholic teachers out
of a total of 4,50O.
He appointed 20 Roman Catholic gov
ernors of provinces of the Philippines
out of total of 26.
He appointed two Roman Catholics,
Archbishop Ryan and Mr.. Bonaparte, on
the Indian commission.
The Boston Pilot (Roman Catholic
said that he appointed the full quota of
army and navy chaplains to which Ro-
man Catholics were entitled.
He appointed D. I. Murphy, Roman
Catholic, as secretary of the Panama
commission.
The Boston Pilot also gave him full
credit for the passage by congress of a
bill restoring the rations to the Roman
Catholic mission schools.
His particular protege, Geo. B. Cortel-
you, was an LIB. of the Georgetown
Jesuit university.
He appointed R. J. Wynne, Roman
Catholic, temporary postmaster general.
Mr.. Wynne's first assistant was j. J..
Howley, a Roman Catholic.
He made Gen. Davis, a Romanist gov
ernor of the Panama canal zone.
He made a Mr.. Smith, president of
the Roman Catholic institute, San Fran
cisco, collector of customs, governor
CulCl JtloJICC, lllL COuulSSlOLCl
in charge of public education in the Phil
lipines.
His private secretary, B. F. Barnes,
was graduate of Georgetown Jesuit
university.
These and many other things did Mr.
Roosevelt do. He may have been blinded
to what he was doing, but he certainly
cannot blame Mr.. Taft for following in
his footsteps on the Roman Catholic
question, for Mr.. Taft could not follow
his own tracks better than he has Mr.
in his continued, partial and
soulful favoring of Roman Catholicism.
Whatever else William has been dere-
lict in, he has been particular not to
swerve from Theodore's Romanish poll
cies.

REPUBLICAN PARTY
AUGUST 10. 1912.

WHEREAS, the RECORD OF PRESI-
DENT TAFT shows the following gross
ly un-American acts:
For more than ten years Taft has been
sufficiently intelligent to know that his
mission to the Vatican in 1902 was
wholly un-American, and humiliated the
United States in the eyes of all the ma
tions of the earth.
His agreement to pay the Vatican
$7,OOO,OOO for lands in the Philippines
which the priests did not own, was a
huge concession to papal graft. But
Rome got the money.
Rome afterwards put in a claim against
the United Sattes for $2,50O,OOO for
damage done church property by Unit
ed States troops in the Philippines"
This claim was unanimously turned
down by an expert commission which
included one Roman Catholic, and $780,
900 was allowed. Taft moved to double
it.
In 1907 Rome put in claim for dam
ages in Porto Rico. The Porto Rico peo-
pie said the claim was fraudulent, but
on Taft's recommendation Rome got
$4,000 and valueable real estate.
Rome claimed over $2,0O0,000 for GER
tain property in Cuba. The Cubans con-
sidered the claim a downright fraud; but
Roosevelt and Taft ordered the Cuban
people to pay to Rome $1,500,0O0 for
this property which Spain had taken
from the church 70 years ago.
William H. Taft, after the San Fran
cisco earthquake, made a plea to con-
gress for $4,000 ''to reimburse the San
Francisco liquor dealers for the liquors
destroyed" He asked for nothing for
Protestant churches or public schools
For three years in succession, while
president, Taft attended st. Patrick's
church (Jesuit) on Thanksgiving day.
Under Taft, papal military mass"
was established on the White House
grounds.
Taft jumped Pesuit, White, over the
head of Justice Harlan, Protestant, to
the position of chief justice of the Unit
ed States supreme court.
Taft made Gen. Barry educated by
the Jesuits) superintendent at West
Point Military academy.
Taft "held up" the righteous order of
Indian Commissioner Valentine, that
nuns remove all their sectarian emblems
while teaching in government-supported
Indian schools.
Taft sent special and private mes
sage to the pope by Major Archibald
Butt Qost on the Titanic).
Taft's candidacy is endorsed by Pope
Plus and by Cardinals Gibbons, Farley
and OCOnnel.
The entire papal church press favors
the candidacy of Taft.

STREET WORK IN EVERETT
is MADE MUCH HARDER
Wages of Street Commissioner
Raised While the Number of His
Workers Is Reduced and the
Pay of the Rest Is Left the
Same.
COMMISSIONERS HAVE MOTH
ING FOR WORKING CLASS.

Street work in Everett has been made
harder. The number of men has been
made smaller while the amount of work
and the wage scale remain the same.
The wages of the entire city hall gang
have been raised. The wages of the
street workers have not.
''There's the difference"
The Everett commissioners have moth
ing for the working class. Any two
cent politician with past record of
feeding at the public crib can get hear
ing, a fatherly greeting and a raise in

The Herald is trying to put the soft

There is no doubt that the socialist
strength in Snohomish county is over

ease of four tickets the chances favor

DEMOCRATIC PARTY

WHEREAS, the nominee of the demo
cratic party, Mr.. Woodrow Wilson, was
asked to put himself on record and state
his position on matters now before the
American nation and ignored the request,
and,
WHEREAS, his actions show the fol-
lowing;
While governor of New Jersey he
signed the bill fostered by the Roman
Catholic hierarchy prohibiting justices of
the peace performing the marriage cere-
mony, making New Jersey the first
American state to surrender to the Rom
anish doctrine of heaven made marriages.
During the primary campaign for pres
idential delegates his Jesuit secretary
used anti-Catholic literature to the detri-
ment of such candidates as Underwood
to the profit of Wilson, which makes
Wilson subservient to the ROMAN PO-
LITICAL MACHINE
Almost the entire democratic national
is Roman Catholic and will
dictate the majority of ap-
pointments should Wilson be elected.
Governor Wilson's private secretary,
Joe Tumulty, has been nominated as
clerk of the supreme court, at $4,000
per year. He will succeed to the posi-
tion November 2, unless a strong pro-
test goes up from the true Americans
of New Jersey. Governor Wilson has
probably welcomed the chance to get rid
of this fellow, but his elevation to an
other position where he can do incalcul
able damage is wrong. He is a Knight
of Columbus, sworn to oppose this and
all other heretical governments, and
should be relegated to the rear. Hasn't
New Jersey, the home of Princeton uni
versity, got any MEN for this job? If
so, put them on the job
On April 20, Governor Wilson appoint
ed as a member of the Camden county
board of taxation from Gloucester,
Charles A. McElhone, Roman Catholic,
said to be Knight of Columbus. The
man must be indeed mentally dense or
with patriotic paresis who will
appoint Roman Catholics on boards of
taxation in this day, when entirely too
much Roman property is already free
from tax.
WHEREAS, at the recent celebration
of the anniversary of an American cardi-
nal the republican president, Taft, the
republican ex-president, Roosevelt, the
democratic speaker of the house of rep
Clark, and the democratic
chief justice of the supreme court,
White, all wed with each other in fig
prostrating themselves head
long in the dust in abject humility at
the iron-shod feet of the hierarchy of
Rome.

UNTITLED FOR HUMAN FOOD
Especial Care Should Be Exercised Ia
the Use of Either Frozen or
Dried Eggs.

Frozen and dried eggs intended for
human consumption are largely used
for cooking purposes where Inferior
cakes or making custards, omelets,
pies, etc. The traffic in eggs sold for
drying and freezing has greatly in
creased in the past few years. Strict
ly fresh marketable eggs in the shell
command a high price and there is
difficulty in meeting the demand for
them; but large quantities of question
able eggs, often bought at very low
prices, have been brought out for
cooking purposes by d1sreputable
firms, being preserved by freezing or
drying until ready for use. Some
dealers, however, manufacture a sat
isfactory product by the use of good
eggs handled under proper condi-
lions.
There Is no objection to drying or
freezing good eggs under proper san
itary conditions; in fact, there are
some advantages to be gained by pre-
serving eggs in this manner, although
the manufacturing processes devised
by man, as rule, do not improve the
quality Of natures work. Conditions
of modern life and commerce must,
however, be met, and dried eggs or
eggs in frozen condition may be
shipped long distances, and require
less space for transportation and stor-
age than do eggs in the shel9.

MORAL NOT HARD TO FIND
Probably We All Have Known People
to Whom This Chronicle Will
Have Significance.

There was a large Thomas cat that
had it's habitation in store. It was
reported to be a fine blooded animal
from family of distinguished rat de-
stroyers. The cat was a beauty and
everybody round the store took turn
at furnishing grub suited to the taste
of blooded cat
It was observed, however, that there
was no reduction of the rat or mice
store commenced to inquire into the
reason why. He first tried the cat on
rat that had been caught in a trap,
but the feline expressed no interest or
animation. He looked at the rat and
then walked away. The storekeeper
was disappointed, but not entirely die
couraged. He thought perhaps that
cats specially was mice, and as he
had mouse or two that had been
caught alive in trap, he turned them
loose in front of the cat, but it paid
no more attention to them than a
sheep would to rare done beefsteak.
Il Think said the storekeeper,
that l am onto this situation. I will
fire the next employe who gives that
cat anything to eat" For two days the
Thomas cat did good deal of bowling
and wore look of injured innocence.
He felt that he had been wronged and
was ready to start an instruction, but
as that didn't seem to get him any
where, he turned loose on the rats and
mice in a way that was surprising.
The second day after this change of
program the rats held convention to
consider what ought to be done.
When the leading orator among the
rats arose, he said: *'Fellow rats, this
is no time for talk. What we want to
do is to move. That cat hasn't any
more natural ability than he had be-
fore, but he has concluded that he
either has to hustle or starve, and I
have discovered that when cat gets
in that frame of mind his neighbor
hood is no place for rats"
Many men and women, as we'll az
cats, have never amounted to whoop
just because they never had to hustle
