TWO WEEKS

THIS is the season of the year when man takes
his vacation.
He hies him off to woods and lakes in search
of recreation.
He pulls an oar meath scorching sun; his
hands and neck he scorcheS
His bed is hard, his room is hot as ~ torches.
The poison ivy swells his hands, the sunburn
peelS his shoulders.
He eats canned beef and milk condensed and
biscuit hard as boulders.
He builds a fire down on the beach and sits
and chokeS and Strangles.
Mosquito, chigger and the flea for his shrink
ing flesh hold wranges.
Two weeks of torture he endureS, then HES
him back to store.
And works for so dismal weeks to do IL all
once more.

THE suffragiss are entirely right in pronounc-

new constitution-"We, the people" etc-a lie.

WE USED to sing song ending, That's the
" way the money goes; pop goes the weasel"
Just now, when Seattle taxpayers are turn
ing TO the city council with appeals for economy,
The Star again directs attention to the office OF
corporation counsel, where an array of deputies,
chief clerks and stenographers is pouring the oil
on the city's legal machinery.
Counsel Bradford has three deputies and
police prosecutor at $3.50 month; one at $500
month; two at SlS5 month; a chief clerk at si7o
a month"; claim agent at $50 a month, and three
law clerks at SIPS, $3.50 and Si55 month, re-
spectively This is supplemented by staff OF
stenographerS.
Quite an expensive institution. The Star told
the other day how this staff is devotng only part
of its time to earning these salaries and how the
rest of its time goes to the seeking OF private law
practice and the collection of private fees.
When The Star revealed what was going on,
some of the councilmen said they'd look into II.
Well, gentlemen, you have had time to look into
it, NOW STOP 1T.
II this legal talent is not receiving from the
city compensation commensurate with lis brains,
The Star believes the best of the staff should be
retained, their salaries raised so they would devote
all their time to the citys busneSs-and the others
dropped.
The city would have the satisfaction, anyway,
of knowing it wasn't paying for something it
wasn't getting.
