how the government came to be sad
died with a postoffice site under six
feet of water in the city of Seattle.
The central figure of the inquiry is
likely to be Congressman VIM. E.
Humphrey of that city. The sec'y
of the treasury on his western trip
did some viewing of postoff1ce sites,
but when he came to view the one
in Seattle, not having boat he had
to take long distance view of it.
The site was under six feet of water,
the overflow of Elliott bay, and it
was surrounded by lovely growth
of cattails. The United States bought
this site during the Taft administra-
ton, while Humphrey was congress-
man for this particular postal dis
trict, and it was presumably on Con-
gresham Humphreys recommended
ton as well as that of a site inspector
(who is now separated from the
service) that the site was purchased
for $3.50, 800. Anybody who will give
Uncle Sam half this sum for the bog

infants are taken by death before
they round out the first year of life.
Carried off without even the fighting
chance for life that the babes and
war orphans of Europe have.
Next, the children who escaped
the perils of infancy are exposed to
the attack of such communicable
and preventable diseases as diphthe-
ria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough. They, too, die be-
cause they are not given fighting
chance. ]
Then, an army of adults meet the
enemies, typhoid fever and tubercu-
losis, and thousands of them die,
