SEATTLE SETS PEACE EXAMpLE.

r. oRMER PRESIDENT TAFT once got in awfully bad
when viewing the scenic wonders Of Washington
state, by referring to mountain in the presence
of some Tacoma folks as mt. RAINIER
In Tacoma they don't call it that-they call it mt
Tacoma.
Years ago, when Seattle and Tacoma were about of
size the two cities scrapped glorously the
Of that mountain Seattle the fastest and argued
the loudes SO the nation whole adopted the name
"Rainier-except on diplomatic and rare occasions.
Tacoma, however, is closer to the hill than Seattle is
and has given up her demand for the name mt
Tacoma"
Now, Seattle, having become an undsputod metropolis
is getting magnanimous, and talking OF letting Tacoma
have its way-the Seattle Star even publishes four
column front page editorial advocating settlement Of
the dispute Tacoma's terms.
Seattle is setting good example to a warning world
But will Former President Taft ever dare return to
Washington?

States Need Is More Business And
Less Politics.
The State of Maryland is worthy of
being saved from its pigmy politicians
who can see nothing but office and
patronage for a Governor to confer or
a Legislature to consider; which re-
spends to no public demand unless its
pressure threatens defeat and the loss
of ofliceand patronage; which discoun-
tenances brains in public life for fear
of the power which brains naturally
takes to itself, and which therefore
denies to the State the services of its
hes. men. We need in this State less
politics and more business.
