Proposes mt. Tacoma" In
Seattle National Park y

A Seattle National Park" on
"Mt. Tacoma"
This is the latest suggestion
offered to the Justice to the
Mountain committee. 1t Is en-
bodied in a letter received by
Frank b. Cole from Charles w.
Stewart, Tacoma attorney.
"My suggestion is that If neces-
sary in order to secure the active
aid of Seattle in the matter, the
park be called Seattle National
Park" and the mountain mt. Ia
coma" says Stewart.
Full Justice, of course, de-
mands that the park should be
called Mt. Tacoma National
Park However, the name Seat
tie is of Puyallup Indian origin
and distinctive of this locality.

name of the park ONT. Tacoma

Threats of a sniff TO

Threats of suit to restrain
Pierce county from paying Police
Judge Evans a salary as justice
of the peace were the latest de-
velopment today in the contro-
versy between the police Judge
and Mayor Fawcett.
Fawcett said the suit would be
started by a Mr.. Smith, a real es-
tate man of Tacoma, who will be
a candidate for state representa-
tive next fall. He did not know
the mans initials.
Judge Evans has positively re-
fused to handle civil trials in his
court, although he is justice Of
the peace" said Mayor Fawcett.

Threaten to Cut Off
Judge Evans Salary

"He sends all the civil cases to
the court house, and confines
himself to police court cases.
This Mr.. Smith tried to get a
civil case into Evans court and
the Judge refused to accept II.
II Evans is not going to act as
justice of the peace, there Is
no need of the county paying him
t125 month. The city already
has been paying him $50 as po-
lice Judge.
Smith told me he would start
a suit to enjoin the county from
paying Evans salary, on the
ground that the judgde hasn't
been working for the county, but
for the CITY,"

The Chitago Herald, in an editorial
on the m4rning of Nov. IS, bitterly
assails tho Chicago Tribune for its
attack on California and other vest
ern states The Tribune declared
these state Is voted for President Viii
son becaus se they were yellow" The
Herald terms the Tribune the
worlds most conceited" newspaper
The editorial is as follows:
The West Militant
The He raid holds no special brief
for the West. But it does for our
common country. It abhors section
aIism. That is a snake darting its
poisonous fangs at the heart of the
nation. The Herald therefore con-
siders il duty to a united people to
raise its voice in protest against a
seditious attempt to light the fires
of internal jealousy
The Herald insists that the vote of
California is entitled to the same re-
gard as to the vote of New York 1t
refuses I'd differentiate between the
people of Oregon, who stood by Mr..
Hughes. and the people of Washing
ton, who stood by Mr.. Wilson. 1t as
serts that the people of the Rocky
mountain states are as gallant, as
courageous, as any class of citizens
in the East, and more gallant, more
courageous, than the effete snobs who
find senile pleasure in bizarre func-
tions in Newport and Bar Harbor
Citizens of Whom Nation Is Proud
To say the West is yellow" is to
utter lie so grotesque that it car
ries refutation on its face. Only a
mind stee ped in ignorance and gnarled
by prejudice could conceive anything
OF the kind. The men and women
who are descendants of the home
makers, who themselves have watered
the arid desert and made it a Garden
of Eden; the men and women who
struggled and labored to make bios
som Of The Pacific coast-these are
citizens OF whom the nation we'll may
be and is proud.
If it be suggested that the West is
not progressive, consider that it has
inaugurated administrative and legis.
iative reforms many of which have
been approved and copied by the
Eastl
If it be said, as malevolently as i
has been said by the worlds mos
conceited newspaper, that the West il
too proud to fight" what about this
volunteeHs who fought so bravely il
the Civil war, and, in our own time
in Cuba and the Philippines" Wha

he compares them with the Plunder-
bund's unseating of a Governor in
Colorado, in order that the mineral
resources of Rouett County could Be
gobbled thru the cooperation of the
dishonesty seated Governor. The
following two years witnessed the ac-
complishment of the privilege seek
er's designs. The public traitor who
gained this seat frauduently handed
over to the RockefelIers an empire
of coal and other mineral bonanzas
which would have practically freed
Colorado from taxation if they had
been developed by the state itself or
leased under a business-like contract
to competitive concerns.
There is just as much at stake for
these interests in Idaho as there was
in Colorado and there is just as de-
termined purpose to grab them. It
can only be done in one way and
that is thru political control Of law
making in their interests.
| cannot believe that it will succeed
because / am firmly convinced that
most of the crooked work will be
exposed, but let no one sit serenely
confident in the thought that there
is not going 10 De ngnt. but, as
suggested above, the writer believes
that about the only thing accomplish
ed in this attempt will be some educa-
tional work which will show the Id
aho masses why certain sinister in
terests are directly concerned in state
affairs.
If candidate Hughes had been elect
ed the task would have been much
easier of accomplishment because in
fight for control of state the man
who would serve privilege would re-
ceive the indirect assistance Of the
National Government, as was so Of
ten the case under Roosevelt, Taft
and Mckinley.
These are sad days for privilege
seekers when they must look toward
Washington, D. c. without hope Of
pernicious activity on their behalf.

STEAL THE ELECTION
Some Resources Left in Idaho That Looks Good
to the Crafers
(By Marcus Day.

The Special Interests are beginning
an attempt to steal an election thru
the instrumentality of the men who
were voted down Nov. 9TH.
1t is only natural that when such
a close count develops that the op-
posing candidates who are defeated
should desire an official canvass no
one honestly blames them for this
attitude. They have right to an Of
fetal canvass. But all of the prelim-
mary statements, accusations and
rumors which are being circulated by
Republicans have the usual conven-
tional ear-marks of deliberate pur-
pose to deceive the partisan rank and
file of Republicanism into the belief
that they were swindled out of the
election. The conduct of the two
campaigns and the arguments advanc-
ed b. the opposing sides was suffi-
cient for really intelligent people to
fathom merits. The people of Idaho,
like all but one Of the Great West,
registered their veto upon Republi-
canisni's aspirations to regain power
and it IS not likely that the national
Republican leaders will attempt to
dishonesty overturn the public will
in these other Western States. But
here there are immense areas of un-
developed mineral, timber and water
power opportunities as yet under
state control and these Special Inter-
ests desire further time in seizing
the cream of them. Governor Alex
lander is against the granting of priv
ileges to either outside or local mon
opolies and the fact that he has been
elected with a legislature of the same
sympathies, makes his reelection very
undesirable to men who wish to Sc
cure for practically nothing the right
to exploit them.
There is so little difference in the
Preliminary methods adopted by Gov
ernor Alexander's opponents to mould
public opinion to their support that
one cannot help but be amused when

The Herald says NO.
Men of the West AS Sturdy as An

The Herald holds that the men and
