The Seattle Argus gives a full
page in the issue of March II to
letter addressed to the people of
Seattle by Sam Wall of Tacoma, on
the question of notwithstanding the
mountain.
The editor of the Argus, II. A.
Chadwick, himself discusses the
question on the first page.
Both circumstances draw atten-
ton again to the liberal attitude
taken by the newspapers of Seattle
towards this question and con-
firming which Mr.. Wall in his ad-
dress before the members council
of the Tacoma Commercial club
last week spoke in high praise.
Shall 1t BE Tacoma?
shall 1t be Mount Tacoma" is
the headline over both letter and
editorial. And both answer the
question tacitly in the affirma-
tive.
THE mountain is at last due to
get another name" says Mr.. Wall
to the people of Seattle, "and if
the unfortunate condition which
provoked this movement is not to
be perpetuated we must get to-
gether and talk this over man-to-
man fashion,"
1T will please me-" he says to
the editor, IF you will give me the
to relate to the people
of Seattle a little bit of history
which feel sure few of them have
ever heard, but which is quite
familiar to everybody in Tacoma. {"
Tells developments
Wall expresses the belief that
the opposition to the memorial
manifesto by the King county del
egation at Olympia does not rep
resent the feelings of the people of
Seattle toward the aboriginal
name Tacoma.

'if Houser, or any other of the
King county delegation who voted
for the memorial if he is being
crucified by any angry Seattle since
returning, or II any of the news

on the side of justice-Ts your life
In danger?' II so, we in Tacoma
will show that we are good fellows
by hating the business right here"
The Argus reaffirms its position.
Editorially it says:

COLLAPSES IN
WAITING ROOM

On his way to Tacoma with a
basket of fresh eggs, A. Hagen, a
rancher living near Brookdale,
collapsed as he entered the Brook
dale street car station Wednes-
day morning and died before aid
reached him. Apoplexy was the
cause of death. Hagen was 20
years of age.
In falling, Hagen's head struck
on a bench, and blood gushed
from his mouth and nose. Other
persons entering the station a
few moments later thought that
foul play had been committed,
and created a sensation by noti-
Tying the authorities that Hagen
had been murdered.
Deputy Coroner Buckley inves-
tigated, and brought the body to
Tacoma. Brookdale is on the
spaneway car line, near Falkland.

DEMANDS
NEW U.S..
CABINET
United Press Leased wircJ

NEW YORK, March 21.-An
immediate reorganization of the
cabinet along patriotic, non-par-
tisan lines is demanded by the
New York Times (democratic) in
an editorial declaring that only
the government itself is unprepar-
ed-"yet the government must
carry on the war"
AT such a time patriotism COM
mands that the call to duty go
forth to the country's great men !;
equally it commands them to an
swer the summons by acceptance"
says the editorial.
THE line of party fades from
view, the people are one. Men
whose experience and capacity,
whose names command confidence
should sit at the presidents coun-
Gil table. We are not ready for
the war, we are deplorably I'M
ready.
President Wilson has not yet
sent the names of his cabinet APP
pointees to the senate for confirm
alton. IL is to be assumed that, in
! accordance with usage and pre-
cedent, the designations of all his
cabinet officers have been placed
in his hands.
He has entire freedom OF
choice. The imminence of war
lays upon him the imperative duty
to consider how and where he may
strengthen his council of advisers
and executive Chiefs"

Alignment with the entente al

would be released for duty else
where, especially In the subma-

American Atlantic fleet; this
country does not at present plan

In reaching his conclusion to

fought to an end struggle fol-

Wilson about year ago declared

Rapid preparation for canning is
especially desirable for corn if a good
quality Of product is to be obtained.
The best results a be secured when
one person cuts the corn from the cob
and another fills the containers. If
it is necessary for n person to work
alone she should cut off sufficient
corn to fill jar, pour on boiling
water, add salt, place the rubbers and
caps in position, and put the jar or
container into hot water at nee. The
extra cooking which will be given to
the cans first filled will not be in
furious and a better product will be
secured than if the cut corn were al
lowed to stand until all jars were
filled.
