DEMOCRATS HAVE
A BIG LOVE
FEAST

Pierce county democrats ate pie
and talked pie at their last din
ner of the season at the Tacoma
hotel at noon today when 60 of
them met.
1.-The vacant seats represent
the places of Tacoma democrats
who have already gotten appoint
ments," jocularly remarked State
Chairman Hugh Todd to Toast
master T. J. Fleetwood as several
vacant chairs were noted early In
the proceedings.
Todd declared he was not keen
for the job of dictator of appoint
ments. 81 would be glad # the
state committee would refuse to
have anything to do in the matter
of patronage and would just go
out now and start campaign to
win the congressman next year."
said Todd.
He said anyway the only rea-
son he wanted to recommend any
body was to try to strengthen the
organization

For today hypochlorite of lime
is being squirted into Green riv-
er water and then the gates will
be opened, and it will be allowed
to flow to the people without
further delay. When this is
finally done it will represent the
end of 10 years of water short

Lawson and Engineer Manley

they get back it is expected Law

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Sen-
ator Mclean of Connecticut was
the first witness today in the
'insidious lobby" hearing. He
admitted that he was interested
in the General Electric company,
but denied that he ever represent
ed anyone during the tariff bill
activities. He gave list of the
men who had conferred with him
regarding the Underwood meas
ure, but said that they had not
attempted to influence him i'm
properly.
Senator Dillingham; testified
that the only bill he ever was
personally interested in was the
increasing of salaries of senators.
He gave a long list of persons who
had written him on the tariff
question, but said that none had
proposed anything improper.
Dillingham; said that he had
seen widespread sugar advertise
ments, but had not heard of
money being used otherwise in
the sugar mems campaign. He
declared the greatest pressure
ever exerted on him in congress
seemed to be that emanating from
some source opposed to the owen
bill creating a public health
service. He said that a similar
campaign was waged against the
llingham-Burnett immigration
bill. He thought that the Round
Robin system of writing to con-
gressmen was unfair. he testified.

Wheat and cattle will go on the
free list" This announcement
was made today by Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the senate
committee following confer
ence with President Wilson dur
ing which Simmons was informed
that a downward revision of the
tariff meant revision downward.
Meats and flour are to be taken
from the free list, was another
announcement spread far and

was done, it is said, because wheat
and cattle were taxed 10 per cent.

For many years / have held
that there should be no such con-
dition as illegitimacy, and when
recently there appeared in the
Chicago papers the outlines OF a
bill for legitimatizing the chill
dren of unwed mothers l was in
stantly and deeply concerned. l
had not expected to find any leg
islator of today brave enough to
put his name to such a bill, and
my sympathy went out at once
together with an offer of add
to the Hon. Joseph Carter, the
proposer of the bill.
First, it is provided that the
act of physical union resulting in
the birth of a child shall consti-
tute a true marriage and that the
child shall take the name of the
father and be his lawful heir.
Second, that this marriage shall
hold till dissolved by the court,
and, third, that the mother sh>.,
upon the declaration of the name
of the father of the child, be-
come seized of all the rights and
privileges of wife.
Naturally such a bill provokes
violent and derisive opposition as
we'll as fervid support. 1t is, on
fits face, a humanitarian bill, a
woman's bill, but then, this is a
woman's age. 1t is child's bill,
but children are considered a
more valuable asset by certain
economists than the male liber-
tines. 1t is a radical bill, but
then radicalism is the spirit of
the age. The questions which
the promoters of his measure
must meet are simply these: Is
1t right? Is 1t just?
The discussion falls naturally
into three divisions-first of all,
how does it affect the child?
And the answer to this is, to me,
instant and conclusive. 1t is a
matter of simple justice to the
child. Nearly all men will admit,
even the libertines will admit,
that a babe should not be held
responsible for the wrong-doing
of its sire or dam. What has the
infant done that he should begin
life with a legal badge of shame
written upon his face? Has he
not the same natural right that
any other child has to fair
name and an honorable plact In
the social order? His need OF
protection is far keener and his

s. The contract which is attached
to the complain, shows that the de-
PENDANTS agreed to convey a one-half
interest in said nursery stock. and,
when read in connection with the
complaint, is sufficient to show that
such Allegations were material.
8. The complaint alleges hal the

IL. Where the complaint shows
that the defendants nav parted with
nothing of value, it is unnecessary to
allege that they have been placed in

the complaint does not show that the
defendants knew more about the value

plaintiffs.
IA. Defendants claim that no fraud
could have been inflicted upon the
plaintiffs by the making out Of an

is sufficient to justify the court in set

further allegation that defendants

Of a deed to plaintiffs land is suf-
