Over in the senate the problem is

Besides the conservation measures
already mentioned which have been
passed by the house and are awaiting

The show entitled His Doll Girl
is constructed in accordance with
the canons of the strictest school OF
musical comedy, chief ingredients be-
ing pretty girls and tuneful music.
Johnny Calvin is there with that
bubbling effervescent humor which
makes him the individually clever

has face that dimples In smiling
comarderie. She has good flexible
voice and dances with gay abandon
that quite captivates.
The action Of the comedy Is clean.
wholesome and irresistible and is In
tersperced with some fifteen interpo-
lated musical numbers which does not
include the incidental music, the
lyrics of which are in sympathy with
the action of the comedy.
A special feature of the show is
the cabaret scene and at this late date
everyone knows what cabaret
means. There Is large glittering
cafe not far from Broadway or State
street. 1t is not exceptional. There
are lots of people, lots Of light. plenty

a piano man, violin man and few
others who violate the law as to cruel

is a proprietor, smiling blond man,
plump and hospitable that trys to

In speaking of their reasons for desiring to
create this Office in Seattle, Mrs Howe said:

create This Office In Seattle, Mrs. Howe said:
At present we sorely in need of this new
Office OF defending attorney. The city and county
have large retinue of police officers, deputy sher-
ifs and prosecuting attorneys whose salaries vary
as their record of conviction ente' them to the in
heritance of office.
Anyone coming up for trial without sufficient
means Is assigned counsel by the court. The stipend
is small, and the is handled in half-hearted
listless manner In many instances, l have OBJ
served that the defendant seemed lack confidence
in the attorney assigned because of his appar
ent lack of interest
On the other hand, find the prosecutor
who is drawing regular salary, overlooking no de-
tail IN his ahort to conviction. So it would
appear that we have millions for prosecution but
not one cent for Defense
I'VE shall no doubt hear the cry that it will add
burden to the taxpayer. But is there in this world
a heart SO small as to grudge fellow man his right
to life and liberty?
The citizens are paying taxes for lavish expen-
dtures of prosecutors and deputies. Bear this in
mind also, Mr. Taxpayer The more convictions
these men secure, the more victims, naturally. The
more victims, the more guards and consequently the
salaries. 1t rather costly thing this prose-
cution of people who up in court
'ln the name of humanity, let us have a defend
ing attorney who will take the interest to get
facts to establish proof of innocence the prose-
cutor does to affirm prisoners guilty charged
The defending attorney may be of more beneficial
nature in deving down into the of crime and
finding out the reason for it..
We commend this movement on the part of
the Seattle ladies, to the women of Minnesota
as one deserving of their most earnest en-
deavor to have law enacted in this state
which will insure for the unfortunate with
out means, the same consideration and equal
chance for justice, as is accorded to the man of
wealth. We believe the thought will appeal to
most women as being move in the right direc-
ton; movement that is entirely in keeping with
