Taft's Farewell Fraud

Western Washington should sound an emphatic
protest against Tafs attempt to cheat the people of
their victory in Kidding the bench of Hanford by sad
ding upon them another corporation attorney a
ne-termer on the federal bench.
A protest may be unavailing. Possibly the Taft
crowd still muster enough pirates of privilege to
jam this outrage down the Threats of the people, but
surely community that has just succeeded after a
long and desperate fight, in driving from the bench
unfit man, cannot remain silent while his
place is filled by another graduate of corporation
influence.
Fortunately, the senate has been considerably
reformed since the insurgency movement started.
Nearly all Of the old Especial interests wolves who
used to haunt the halls Of congress have been driven
TO their private jungles. 1t seems probable that
Senator Poindexter with the aid of other progress
dves, both democratic and republican, can block
Tafts efforts to perpetuate this his farewell fraud
upon the people of this state.

A HOME RUN.
BY Stewart b. Stone.

Inasmuch as the Midwife Mas
cots claimed the championship Of
Simpson-co, while the Scrabble
town Stars set up the same gilt
tering claim, It was bound to re-
suit in something. Thus it was
that after weeks of. challenge the
Scrabbletown Stars, accompanied
by half their town, appeared in
Mudville to wage war on the
green diamond. Uncle Hank
Downs of Mudvflle said he had
never seen the like in all his born
days.
Young Theophilus Turner, ed
tor of the Mudville Mercury pitch
ed for his town; Daniel Hardy
cashier of the Scrabbletown de-
post bank, twirled for Scrabble
town. They were deadly rivals,
for in the grand stand sat Bessie
Wilson, belle of Midwife, who ia

while on the base lines, enthusiast

On the side lines Midwife

Scrabbletown and Scrabbletown

fights broke out, and the umpires
