which made Tacoma. famous-as a !
freak town, was carried around on
the shoulders of the mass of people,
so to speak, and was political god;
that is be could have any Office in the
gift of the city, he desired. But by |
the foolish, disgusting and laughahle
"anti-treat" fad, he is dead. po-

There are some mothers who con-
slider it an honor to raise their daugh-
ters without work. There are many
mothers who believe manual labor q
disgrace. No parent, in my opinion,

who make poor wives. and who furn-
ish the newspapers sensational esca-
pades with men who are not their
husbands. Any man of horses sense
and spirit, must despise woman
who despises work.
