City Comptroller Boutwell,, of Sc
attic. seems, from Seattle papers, to
imagine himself the whole of the
Queen City.
Will some statatician in Washing
ton. D. c., kindly tell the public the
date OF year wherein the Lorimer
bribery case will end?

Seattle has more commerce, more
manufacturing, more railroads, more
population than any other city in
the Pacific Northwest" says the r.
L. And more pimps and harlots
scattered within its limits than any
other city in the Pacific Northwest,
to boot.

An Eastern paper says Taft can
not be stampeded from the political
race. Certainly not; not on your
tintype; no, sir! He is tied to the
snubbing-post, inside of the Repub-
lican standpat" corral, and it
would be political strangulation for
him should he attempt it.

The San Francisco undertaken who
had to pay 81 800 for calling a man a
thief, seems to have been overcliarged. !"
P.I.
Well, what of it? The undertaken
has probably accumulated fortune
in overcharging g for "silver handles.
etc., and now he has to swallow some
OF his own medicine, so to speak.
A Seattle paper says: During
the past three months the State
banks of Washington added nearly
$40, 100000 to their resources. No
evidence OF dull times in that"
From the hundreds OF broke men
swarming in Seattle and Spokane it
appears they have not yet received
their dividend from the $40, ,OOO, 900.
Ii man does not hold your views
either politically or religiously, you
should not think for second that he
is what you are so quick to term q
fool. Remember he has just the
same right to his opinion, on any
subject. as you, and you must allow
his opinions to bear the same weight
OF honesty and sincerity that you
duly accord your own.
All frequentprs OF gambling
houses lose money. There was never
one yet who won, and kept winning.
All must lose out in the long run.
(Nick Carter hopes that young men
will remember this fact.)" And some
parents want to thrash their boy for
reading a Nick Carter weekly! Can
you find any better advice for your
boy than that in your Bible? II so,
I'm from Missouri" You'll have to

The RI Of the 18th inst. had
an editorial headed: Reject the
Crouch and Knocker!" and amongst
other things in the editorial, it says:
Seattle has had good city admin
istration this past year." From
reading the same paper a few months
ago, one would think the only ad-
ministration during the past year
was rotten to the core. But listen:
In the sane issue of the P.-L.. that
of Jan. 18th, in the same column as
the one mentioned above. appears an
editorial headed: Cowardice in
Council. In this editorial relating
to the city's ADMINISTRATION of af-
fairs, is found the following: 1T
(Seattle) needs q Council made up
OF men who will transact the city's
business in businesslike way-men
who have convictions that will stay
put. And this need-this growing
need-should be kept in mind in
the choice of Councilmen at the com.
ing election" If Seattle, as the r.
1. declares in the first editorial 10
question, has had a good city ad.
ministration the past year, why
does it complain OF Cowardice in
Council in the second editorial
quoted from in this article? In the
first editorial the Councilmen OF Se-
attic are heros; in the second they
are nothing but towards, and that
paper wants the voters to elect Coun-
cilmen other than those now holding
positions in the Council of Seattle.
Consistency, thou art Jewell"
indeed-in the editorial columns of
my newspaper, the Seattle Post
Intellt0eacer!"
