A NOISY CITY
lseattle Post-IntellIgencerl

While conversation between human beings is still possible times in the business district or Seattle there are many moments of the day when the din of car and general street traffic Is so great that the deaf and dumb language is the only relia ble method of communication. Seattle is one Of the making most of the noise to be bssfully sat with their efforts, obvious to the effect on nervous citizenry. -
 A suffering citizen has written the Postlntel- gencer a letter of protest, and urges the organza ton of society for the prevention Of useless noises Quoting from his letter:
 There is nothing like Seattle noise in
 even the largest cities of the country. The
 worst offenders are the motorcycle and auto
 bile drivers: cut-outs wide horns
 screeching and nosy street combine to
 bring us frightful sleepess nights and high
 tension days In most downtown offices tele
 phone communication is impossible when
 window is open. Why is not the law regard
 ing the of cutouts enforced?
 One of the reasons why nosy Is that practically is trying to prevent t This young and ebullent community is "up on s toes attend ing Co business, very much in hurry and intent on results rather than on means. Noise costs nothing and is regarded having bearing on the earning of a dollar hence the issue is neglected. There is question that it ravels the community nerves and is really deterrent in the daily routine of business
 There is a field for the activities of a society 10 prevent unnecessary noises There is probably no good reason why a street car crossing a rail inter- section should be allowed to create a din like a carload Of tin dropping in rock quarry. There Is no good why automobile or motorcycle should be allowed create succession or eXplOS- ions that rival the bombardment of Verdun.
 The depressing volume of this daily cannonadng could be decreased if somebody made 1t a business to attend to it. eW hopefully call for volunteers perhaps the police department will respond.

NOT HUGHES SHAME

If tho telegraphic story that comes from the Hughes special train at Louisville which says that Candidate Hughes was confronted with packed au- dience at Nashville. and hissed and hootcd, is true. the shame is Nashyilles and not that of the the Republican candidate for President While there seems to be growing belief that Mir Hughes has not been conducting altogether dignfed states manlike campaign against the administration Ameri- cans should not forget for a single minute that he is the candidate of Of the historic Amcrcar poli tcal parties which contains practically half Of the American people for the highest office in the land and Is the leader and spokesman of that party that he is a former Governor Of the greatest American State and Justice of the greatest American court and has otherwise been highly honored by his eountrymen He is entitled to respectful hearing from those who have the opportunity and desire to attend his meetings. B there are those who resent his course. and do not care to hear what ne may have to say. they should refrain from attending his meetings.

TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
 BY BUYING AT HOME

There is far more money made through commun- ity development than through individual earnings. More men become wellto-do because the town in which they live and the surrounding country grows larger than in any other way One Of the best ways in the world to aid your town to grow larger and richer is to patronze home institutions. The larger the volume Of local business becomes the greater the local payrons will become. The who buys at home therefore contributing to the growth of the town
 The man who takes an interest in his town its progress the growth and improvement of its public institutions and that Of it's stores and factories its newspapers and all Of its necessities and conyen. iencies is good citizen and he is aiding himself

ric woman who marries good fellow often has a bad time ot it.
 One of the most unpopular men iu the world is tho Fellow who IS too popular with himself
 m. boss is usually such an cd Togy that he can. understand that the lad who can roll cigarette wi.h enc hand and ru7 15 balls at peel is his most use,Jl employee.
 The reason why a married man lnaycr saves anything when he gets S5 per week raise in salary is be- cause his wife immediately sees to it that the household expenses in- crease S7 per week.
 A girl should never try to get out of hammock in a hurry when there are men around unless she is wearing her best stockings.
 A wealthy woman often spends a lot of time doing things for the poor because she knows that her husband spends lot of his time doing things to them.
 Many a father who never had any education has to support a son who knows ten times as much as his father does.
 When we look into a mirror we imagine that we are seeing our selves as others see us. But we are not.
 The reason why there is so much trouble in the world is because a woman believes everything a man says before she marries him and won't believe anything he says after she marries him.
 A man has chance to get away and do something. But what is a nice girl going to do when there are men around and chigger starts boring a hole just north of her knee.
 It doesn't hurt to be honest once in a while. The truth of the matter is that a pretty man spends as much time in front of the mirror as does a pretty girl
 Why is 1t that they never organ ize any societies for the prevention of things that you don't want to do?

Says the New York Sun:
 'Presldent Wilson is hurt to find that a conviction has spread that he is willing to sacrifice the principle of arbi- traton for the sake of settling the dispute between the railways and their trainmen forthwith. Mr. Wilson denies that he is sacrificing arbitration. He says that he favors compulsory settlement of such dis putes in the future, but pleads that 1t is too late to enforce arbitration in the present controversy The President said nothing of the sort He sai he had power Co compel arbitration, and this. ur fortunately was and is strictly true The Sun shout beware of garbling and prevarcaton.
