minded of what David Ross Locke
petroleum V. Nasbyl wrote in the
Toledo Blade of August 6, 1862, and
August 20, 1862, concerning the draft
at that time. He assumed the role of
coppcrhcadn and 'dodgern and pre-
sumed he was in sympathy with the
rebels:

the Government has institooted a
draft, and that in few weeks sum

Those who undertook to escape the
draft in the COS, in numerous cases,
crossed over the line into Canada.
Writing, iictitiously, from "Brest,"
Kanada, he said:

THE PEOPLES FORUM
TURNS ON The LIGHT

1t was with much interest that |
read the article by ''Iwan Tonoh in
The Record of recent date. The COM
ments on the Des Moines and Tacoma
ferries, AS well as the "pSlitics'i of the
two great cities lying at our north and
south doors, was of interest because
Vashon and Maury seem to be getting
the worst of 1t at this particular time.
'Iwan Tono" thinks Tacoma is not
so slow in political way. There are
two kinds of politics, one aiming to
better the moral and civic condition OF
the country and community, and the
other out for all the graft possible, no
matter who suffers. Let me cite two
instances: Seattle wanted canal from
the Sound to Lake Washington, Sc she
would have more room for manufacture
ing purposes. A very commendable
proposition in itself, but strictly Sc
attic affair and of not whit of benefit
to any other spot on earth. How did
she get itP Not by doing it herself;
but she played politics" and tapped
the U. S. pork Darrell one of the
rottenest pieces OF pork-barrel politics
ever pulled off in the United States.
On the other hand, lying back Of
Tacoma is one of the best locations for
military cncampment in the world,
recommended by the War Department
officials for years; something that the
government had to have, and should
have bought and paid for itself. But
TO get it Tacoma had to dig up two
million dollars Of its own good money.
There you have the two kinds Of poll
ties, also an Illustration of the spirit
of the two cities.
Lying at our south door, less than
two miles distant from oar shores, is
Tacoma's city limits, with its great
smelter and beautiful Point Defiance
park, with its paved streets into the
heart of the city. Recently she has
purchased a ferry which she proposes
to operate between Point Defiance and
Gig Harbor, and stands ready and
anxious to alternate its trips to Vashon
Island.
Here again comes in the spirit OF the
two cities. King county, pleading
bankruptcy, says it can not complete a
halt mile of road (which it has been
over twenty-five years in buildingl and
ferry slip to receive the ferry. At
least poverty is the excuse given why
it is not done probably an excuse
only.
Take look at the map. Not a
county dock outside OF Quartermaster
looking towards Tacoma. Did this just
happenY
A city that has built and maintained
such institutions as the stadium, Sta
dunn and Lincoln high schools, Lin
coin bridge, Point Defiance waiting
room, etc, should not be sneered at,
nor ferry connections with it un-
appreciated. ~
Pierce county has the ferry; offers
to run it to our doors at great expense
per year; costs us nothing, only a
measly piece of road and slip, tina t
will cost less than Pierce county ex-
poets to pay out every year to main
tain the ferry. And yet nothing doing.
Is there man on Vashon Island
with soul SO small and BUSINESS instinct
so dwarfed who does not feel as if a
shame is being put upon us by King
county; that we cut so little ice politi-
cally and socially in their eyes that
they cannot do this for us? If there is,
he surely is dead from the neck up.

BIC EASTERN RAILROADS
PLAN TO USE WOMEN
Will Be Employed in Place of
Men Taken for Service
in Army

NEW YORK, May MANY big
eastern railroads started making ar
rangements to employ women in place
of men called to arms by the draft.
Among the roads which are taking
these steps are the New Haven, Lehigh
Valley, Erie. New York Central. the
Pennsylvania and the Long Island.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
has not made any plans yet. but by ex-
periments already conducted on its sys-
TENS it feels sure that woman can do
the work of large number of men.
All roads made 1t plain that no men
would be displaced by women unless
actually drafted The women will be
used in departments not actually en-
gagged in physical operation or trains.
At the offices or the Lehigh Valley
road it was stated that women are now
being given preference in the hiring Of
new employees, in departments where
they are able to do the work, as the man.
agement expects many men will be call
ed to the colors within a few months
The Dehigh is alreday employing wom-
en- as car cleaners and has made some
experiments with them as train dis
patchers. The New York Central also
is employing women as car cleaners
The New Haven offices declare there
was no doubt steps would be taken to have
women take the place of rafte men.
The Long Island is preparing to employ
large number of women in clerical de-
partments. This road.ha already given
work to scores of women and the ex-
pertinent is declared to be a success
Between 800 and 400 men employees
of the Grand Trunk terminal are MEM
bers of the national guard and are mo-
mentarily expecting a summons to duty.
All are being rushed to put women in
their places. Some have already left.
and women are doing their work.
The Erie offices stated an actual fam
inc in male clerical work was already
being faced Women are being called in
wherever possible.
"They may also be used to sell tick
ets-and collect tickets also. for that
matter" said one official.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
has not taken any actual steps yet, but

This is a situation" 1t was said.
which every railroad and every indus
try must face We might as we'll get
ready I'm time"
The Pennsylvania lines east of Pitts
burg have planned to place many women
in clerical positions and will later try
them in other and more important posts.
