Ministers
Approve
Cleanup

The forces responsible for the
cleanup of Market at. were ap-
proved, and Chief of Police
Loomis theoretically disapproved,
by resolution of the Ministerial
association yesterday.
Prosecutor Remain, who has
moved In such effective manner
that the entire street is now
clean, was specifically named in
the resolution of approval.
1t was Chief Loomis, who
when the Times first started the
fight of d st., remarked that
there was no vice in the city, and
he would give $40 to any man
who could prove there was.
Despite the fact that several
admitted houses of prostitution
have been closed since that, under
the red-light law, there Is no
record of the chiefs losing HIS

clared in talk that the city and

GOD BLESS
HIM 1.-THE
PRESIDENT

President Wilson stood last night in Philadel-
phia before audience of several thousand and
women who, significantly enough, represented near
ly all the nations of earth
1t was strangely fitting that he should be intro
duced by mayor whose speech was in broken for
eign accent.
And that mayor an American Of the non-hyphen-
ated sort, struck the note of high occasion when his
introduction was the simple statement
Il present to yOu-God bless hm-the president"
Woodrow Wilson was worthy of the tremendous
responsibility he carried His message to the wait
ing thousands and the waiting millions beyond was
sublime utterance. 1t rose in lofty dealism far
above the war-engendered passion of the day.
Listen, for instance, to these excerpts:
allegiance to great IDEAL great
body Of principles to great hope Of the human
1t thing love the
another thing to dedicate yourself the place which
for the personal capital

Reading these sentiments, the sentiments that
place the interests of humanity first oin and We
believe the entire American people join, in Mayor

weeks ago the street was opened,

street car company must pay halt

that reason the Il. X. & p. for
years refused to ask permission to
cross from 9th to 29th streets,
on Tacoma avenue. II would have
had to pay for the privilege.

Bean today offered an amended
franchise to the council. BY this
ordinance he would route all
south-going cars up Jefferson ave-
nue. to Tacoma avenue, across the
new filled-in street to Delin street
and thence south to Spanaway,
Puyallup and South Tacoma.
II the new route Is allowed,
only Interurban, Pacific avenue,

The council listened apatheti-
cally to Beans request, and then
suggested that It take the propo-
sition up later at o committee

PHILADELPHIA, May II.
"There is such thing as a
man being too proud to fight
There Is such a thing as ma
ton being SO right that It
does not have to convince
others by force that it is
right"
With these words last night.
President Wilson indicated that
the course of the United States in
the Lusitania will not lead--t this
country into the bloody European
war. While his remarks were
cheered with a tnmult of APP
plause, the president coolly de-
veloped his theme that in the
present instance there is no call
for America to put its case to the
test of arms.
Not once by specific statement
did the president refer to the
Lusitania disaster. But the $500
naturalized citizens whom he was
addressing--and the 1850 9TH
ers who crowded into the meeting
early caught the drift of his
general remarks.
When he was finished. there
was a tremendous ovation.
A few of the remarks he made
which were taken to indicate that
lis decision in the present crisis
would be for peace were:
"The example of America
must be special example.
The example of America
must be the example, not
merely of peace because IL
will not fight, but of peace Z

No Raise
In Taxes
By Gym

The high school committee in
charge Of the campaign to obtain
a $4,000 gymnasium for the Sta
dunn high school came back eff
fectively today at the claim that
the new structure would raise
taxes next year, as claimed by At
torney j. T. Lyle of the Taxpay-
ers' association.
They had statements from
School Directors Hendley and
Gray, as follows:
Director Gray-"The talk
that a new building will
raise tayes for next year is
bosh. We have the money.
1t Is just a question as to
when we shall spend 1t. I
will lay n wager 10 to 1 that
the new structure won't raise
taxes one cent"
Director Hendley-"Direc-
tor Gray is just right. The
whole matter is whether we
shall spend the money this
year or next year, for we
have the money on hand
now"
Before a campaign by few
men was launched, the board had
July planned to build the gymna-
stun. Now the members want to
know what public sentiment is.
The high school boys who are
pushing their petitions say that
this sentiment is rapidly swinging
their way.
