Webster commissioners are get

the tideflat street car deal before
they are put on the shelf.
Cant we order the steel
now?" asked the mayor.
Stiles said, mo"
So he was ordered to bring in
an amendment to the bond ordi-
nance Wednesday to provide for
$4,000 bonds.
They will be 6 per cent bonds.
The city will grab $4,000 q year
out Of the light profits to pay
them off and pay interest of ST.
100. The Stone-Webster COM
pa1y will pay the city only ST.
400, SO the taxpayers will have
to dig up 300 of a subsidy to
the company on the interest
charges besides the $1,000 q
year.
This makes s5,700 a year the
people of Tacoma will pay Stone
Webster for operating on the
tideflats--and they will take al
the receipts besides.
Fine business, eh?
No wonder they want to rush
1t through quick before the peo-

MAcrs TRANrIC APPEAL.

r n view OF voting results in certain by-elecuons held
In this country recently IL is not surprising that
Norman y. Mack high apostle Of the national Dc
mocracy. has sounded warning to Democrats TO do
their duty by their party I'm the election this FALL In
the Democratic reverses in the Seventh New Jersey
Congressional district elsewhere, Mr.. Mack SEEM
ingly sees the handwriting the WALL hence his
frantic appeal TO Democrats to stand by their party
IN the emergency which confronts &C.
Mr.. Mack realizes that thirty-two United States
Senators 435 Representatives in Congress will be
elected in November. Nor is he unconscious Of the
fact that the thirty-two Senators viii be elected by
the direct the people their respective States
In fact shows clearly by his appeal his realization
that the national Democracy imminent danger of
reputation at the polls. He knows that the Ameri-
can electors are satisfied with the results which
have followed the election of Democratic President
and a Democratic Congress.
In the Senate as It exists today there 81 Demo
Gratis and 45 Republicans. in the House there 29O
Democrats 127 Republicans and is Progressyes.
Many of those Democratic Senators and Representa-
tlvos never will return The American people have
had enough them. So serious has the political sit
nation become under Wilson auspices that the Demo-
cratic national leaders fear the Republicans viii re-
gain control of both branches OF Congress.
That IS why Mr. Mack is pleading with the Democratic
to rally to the support OF the Wilson admins
tratiou.
Let Il not be forgotten that a similar plea was made
20 ue Democlauc voters IN the oeNehW Nohereeslohal
district in New Jersey They told that the de-
of the Democratic Congressional candidate there
would be looked upon by the nation insult to
President Wilson and a reputation OF his policies
And In the face OF such representations and of the
further fact that the Democratic candidate man
Of President Wilson's selection. the Republican
candidate elected by an overwhelming vote.
And IL will be this Fall in many other States and
Congressional districts in the United States. The
people tired of wisconsin and Wilsonan policies.
They tired OF party that spends most Of it's
time making warfare upon American business and
that has failed in many essential particulars to keep
ts promises TO the people. Norman B. Mack knows
those things hence his frantic April appeal for DEM
ocratic loyalty in the November election.

A CREnIrARLE PARADE.

THE parade of sunragists, held in this city Sat
urday afternoon under the auspices OF the Della
ware Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage was a
very creditahle public function. also should be
said that the respectful attitude maintained toward
the paraders by fhe many persons who turned out to
witness the march up Market street was admirable
and that the police precautions all that could be
desired.
The parade hcre was merely local feature Of
sunragist demonstration that nationwide in its
scope. 1t must be admitted however, that with the
material at hand the Delaware suffragsts made fine
showing. They cannot fail to be gratihed by It and
also by the public interest evnced in it
We asserted several days preceding the parade that
the best protection the in line would have
would be the inherent respect Of Deawareans for the
womanhood Of the State That assertion has been fully
vndcaed and 1t viii hold good whenever the self-re-
specting who are in the suffrage movement
here appear in bc functions Respect begets respect
The women respect the public the public respects
the women. Both sides showed that most stringly on
