teeth in the mouths of public school
children.
And yet a bill providing for a
mild start in medical inspection of
children in the public schools fail
ed to make any headway in the
last Legislatures!
| imagine we shall accept final
ly the following PROPOSITIONS:
l An educated mind should be
housed in sound, healthy, vigo-
Gus body.
2 Diseased children cannot make
the proper advancement IN their
school work, therefore, the State
will save money by seeing that
! school children are sound and
healthy A healthy child can fin
nish the school course a year or
two ahead of a diseased child.
3 Most parents will have their
children treated when attention is
called to defects. Those who wall
not, should be required to do so
if they are able, and if they are
not able, the public should have
the treatment administered.
1 Public school children will
never be generally inspected for
physical defects until the law re-
quires school officials to employ
experts to do the work, but in the
meantime .......
5 Cannot enthusiastic principals,
superintendents, and board mem
bers do something by following
the example of the Homer High

medical inspection about which |

No Recall

Seattle does not want a recall
.nd in the name of common sense
and sanity the Post-Intelligencer
urges every citizen to discour age
every movement made in that dlrec-
ton.
If certain persons feel that they
have suffered by reason OF the
MAYORS action, let them settle with
the mayor privately and without IN
yolving the community in turmoil
dissension and folly.
To suggest a recall as conse-
ouence of Mayor Cotterill's mis-
take of last week is absurd; 1t is
nothing less than criminal. Mayor
Cotterill made a mistake; he made
mountain out CT a mol hill. That
is lust the mistake the recall aglta-
tors are making. Only they are
making far bigger mountain out
of a very much smaller mole hill.
To bring about a recall now is
worse than any puny declaration OF
martial law. The mayors mistake
was for a day; the mistake of the
recallers would be for weeks and
months. Business Of every kino
would suffer, and suffer seriously.
Seattle would be heralded far and
wide as a Eighty. freakish city.
with no stability of purpose.
This whole matter has gone far
enough. Mistakes have been made.
and Mayor Cotterill was not the ex-
elusive maker of them. Further
discussion. more charges and count
er charges will only serve to make
a bad matter worse. The sensible
thing to do is to drop it. add that
is what every good citizen, will do.
We of Seattle must get together
and pull together. We have the
momentous facts of 1915 staring us
in the face. The commercial SUI
premacy of the Pacific coast is
hanging in the balance. How are
we going TO win it squabbling
among ourselves about an irrita-
ting mistake and the grievances of
certain individuals and corpora
tons? The less politics we can
have. the better for US. and GER
tainly we cannot afford to leopard
ize our civic welfare to satisfy per-
sonal and private revenges.-Post-
Intelligencer.

HIS TERRIBLE EYES.
Senator Cass Could Almost Paralyze .
Man With Look.

Senator cass Could Almost ParaIyzs .
Man With Look.
Giant heads, bodies and brains
were Webster and Cass. All the
strength of granite was concentrat-
ed in these two sons. To look upon
them made the ordinary man feel
small. Wonderful eyes they pos
sessed, and men have been known
to SILVER with dread when one or
the other allowed his glance to fall
upon them. Cass could look through
a stranger in a way to make his
brain burn and his knees knock to-
gether. One searching stare seemed
to destroy all mentality and fill the
victim with paralytic emotions.
No man dared take liberties with
Cass. In 1916 the proprietor Of the
National hotel in Washington was
a man who so closely resembled the
great senator from Michigan that
he was often mistaken for him. An
old friend, returning from a jour
ney, entered the lobby and, seeing
him leaning against the desk, slip
ped up behind and hit him a terrific
whack on the shoulder, saying
cheerily and simultaneously: ssHel-
10, old man! Here / am back again.
How are you?" Senator Cass
Strengthened up his six feet three
and, turning upon the assailant his
terrible, bloodshot eyes, almost an
initiated him with look. Not a
word was spoken. That look was
ample. The stranger was SO "rat-
tied" that he could not even apollo
gise, but skunk dejectedly out Of the
hotel.
Later in the day when congress
was supposed to be in session the
stranger returned to the hotel to
shake hands with the proprietor
and tell him all about the Cass in
cident. Walking bravely up, he laid
his hand down on his friends shout
der and, without waiting for greet
ing, surprised him with: stSee here,
old fellow, you got me in deuce
Of q scrape this morning. Why, you
know, l took old Cass for you, slap
ped him on the back, nearly taking
off shoulder, and the old fool look
ed at me as if he wanted to commit
murder. The darned old lunatic,
why doesn't he stay out Of here
He knows Again the great SEN
ator from Michigan Strengthened up
his SIX feet three, again he turned
his bloodshot eyes. again he looked,
and again the victim fed. Two mis-
! takes Of that kind in one day!

Nc. Baker Marathon

Among the inviting features of
the Mt. Baker Marathon which will
take place in Bellingham August ID
Is and 16, are besides the great
mountain race itself. a 10-mile no
tor boat race, race between hy-
dro-aeroplane and motor boat, 2
Lacrosse games, 2 baseball games,
japanese exhibition single stick, In
dian war dance, canoes races, mo-
torcycle races, races between sailors
from the batrleships, and what
probably is attracting the greatest
attention of sport followers is a g.
round 90 between Monte Attell and
Percy Cove. Fourteen entries have
been thus far received for the Mt.
Baker Marathon itself; this starts
at 5 o'clock in the morning of Au-
gust Is. Practically all of the rum
ners are now in training on Mt. b.
ker and if the condition of the snow
fields continues it is believed that
last years record of 9 hours and 5
minutes will be lowered approx
mately one hour.

The grange stands pledged to assist
in the enactment Of postal express
law. At it's last annual session 1T in
dorsed the Lewis bill. and its action
has been followed by nearly II not all
Of the state oranges since. New York
with its 100000 members, Pennsyl-
vania with nearly $4,000 and Maine
with 10000 have emphatically pro-
nounced In favor Of postal express as
being the best solution Of the parcel
post problem. While the grange was
influential In getting the present parcel
post system, 1t is by no means satisfied
with It, but looks upon it as much bet
ter than none. but susceptible of much
Improvement. However. the success
Of the system SO far as it has been
tried out reflects great credit on the
good Judgment of the leaders of the
grange, who years ago foresaw that
the carriage Of parcels by post was q
thing that would be Of real benefit to
the farmer and to the people generally.
Now they take another step In advance
and predict that postal express will
be OF still greater benefit than any
system Of parcel post mail service
can be.

''Joan of Arc" at Ringlings' Circus

Ringing Brothers Circus and
newly added 100000 spectacle of
"Joan of Arc" will exhibit in Bell
ingham on August Is. The specta-
Gle in itself is an attraction that
should bring thousands of visitors
from the surrounding country. 1t
is beyond question the greatest pro-
duction of its kind ever seen in
America.
The worlds most skillful scenic

ayers were engaged to mount the
production. A stage bigger than a
hundr ed ordinary theatres was
built and made por table so that it
can be conveyed from town to town
and erected each morning in the
main tent. Thus the circus pro-
prietors have made it possible for
those who live in contributory
towns as we'll as in the large cities
to see this magnificent wordless
play with its cast of 1900 charac-
tiers. a ballet of 800 dancing girls,
a grand opera chorus of 400 voices,
600 horses and a train load of spec
