"a" ~ 7ges." This of the 14th
century:
ST.. The necessaries of life In
ordinary years, when there was
no dearth, were abundant and
cheap, and even in dear years, the
margin of wages or profits over
the bare wants of life was consid-
cradle enough to fill up the void,
even though the laborer had to
subsist for a time on some cheap
er food than wheaton bread.
Meat was plentiful. poultry found
everywhere; eggs cheapest of all.
The poorest and meanest man had
no absolute and insurmountable
impeachment put in his career, if he
would seize his opportunity and
make use of it,"
He had the eight hour workday
at that time. The professor must
surely remember that today we
have millions of man power in the
shape of machinery which the man
of the 14th century did not have.
This must be considered when
talking of prices and wages. Sure
ly some of the results Of invention
should come to the workers.

Note To NAV

Dear May: l deeply sympathize
with you and believe your story. If
you had had father to take your
part, things would have been diff
ferent. If your children are girls,
teach them good only and not to
allow any familiarity. If your
children are boys teach them they
should respect women and they
had no more rights to SOW wild
oats than girls, that they should
keep themselves equally pure as
they expect girls and women to be.
If girls would refuse to asso-
ciate with these rakes they would
have to be better men and they
would, too.
Men are called protectors of
women, then young innocent,

read in a news item that Prof.
r. M. Garrett of the University Of
Washington is credited with stat
ing that the cost of living was
relatively higher in the 14th CEN
fury than it is today, and quoted
prices and wages are quoted to
support this contention.
The $3.50 given by him as the
equivalent in money value in pur-
chasing power of the IL pence
that the carpenter received in his
day is wrong. At the present time
IL ought to be nearly double $3.50.
At the time that chart was made

money was dear. Taking the price
of wheat as an example, we are
paying more than double the price
now that wheat was selling for at
that time.
Remember the free silver argu-
ment was that wheat ought to
bring a dollar bushel? SO much
for the value of that chart at this

Prodigal Girl
EDITOR THE TINES.

EDITOR THE TINES:
| must say with you that the
story of May" is one of the most
remarkable pieces of newspaper
writing l ever read, and can not
see anything wrong to let the pub
lie know some of the dark side of
life.
AS Mrs. X. NJ. j. seems to think,
young people can learn an whole
lot from mistakes of others; that
Is, II they want to learn and take
warnings. Many, with me, have
real sympathy for May" and
THE Broken Heart and other,
who have brutes for husbands.
You parents, teach your boys to
have a clean mind in a clean body:
then we will have less of fallen
women.
Let us carefully consider the fol-
lowing lines, written by some un-
known in "The Odd Fellow Re-
view:
The PrOdigal Girl.
We all have a heart for the
prodigal boy, who was caught in
sins mad whirl, and we welcome
him back with songs of joy-but
what of the prodigal girl? For
the prodigal boy there's an open
door, and fathers bounteous
fare, and though he is wretched,
sick and poor, he is sure of well
come there. But what of the girl
who has gone astray, who has lost
In the battle with sin? Say, do
we forgive in the same sweet way
we've always forgiven him? Does
the door stand ajar, as il to say,
Come, enter, you need not fear /;
I've been open thus since you went
away, now close to the second
year," Or do we with hand of
hellish pride close and bolt the
door, and swear, while heaven
and earth abide, she will enter
here no more?"
o Christ! 1t seems we have nev-
er learned, the lesson taught in
the sand, for even yet the woman
Is spurned and stoned in a Chris
tian land. Down into the slough
we hurl her back, then turn around
with smile and welcome the boy
from the sinful track, though he
may have been more vile. We all
have a heart for the prodigal boy.

The War
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
I have been a reader OF The
Times for a number of years and
| always found it to be the cham
pion of the people whenever 1t APP
peared that their interest and
rights were assailed.
But for some unaccountable
reasons this paper pretends to
voice the opinion Of the masses
of the citizens of the state OF
Washington on the war question.
The point in question is this, there
has been and still Is daily
printed coupon in The Times ask
ing the readers to sign and mail
It to The Times, asking Senator
Jones to resign because he has
dissented on the question of armed
neutrality of the u. s. A.
Now l cannot see where any
newspaper can gather reasons or
reasonable ground to assume that
even minority. much less a ma
jority of the people of the rank
and file constituting this nation
are in favor of mixing them
selves in with this monstrous
European life and death struggle.
In my opinion Senator Jones
has only carried out his trust to
the people OF the state of Wash
ington. True patriotism can only
exist in a truly representative gov
eminent. When 1t comes to a
question of war 1t becomes neces-
sary that the people who must do
the fighting should know why they
are called to the battlefield and
what they are expected to defend
with their lives.
Now, Editor, has this country
been absolutely neutral in the
European struggle? Did the ad-
ministration and the money power
make an honest effort to stop the
slaughter of humanity on the 9TH
err side of the Atlantic ocean?
Now IL a great conflagration
sweeps over a city the first duty
OF the fire department Is, in order
to combat the destructive flames
is to extinguish the flames by
means of coal oil and gasoline, foi
that certainly will put the fire OUT
as sure as the constant supply OF
ammunition, shells. automobiles
and gasoline will stop the II. fir,

person with whom | discussed the
Impending war crisis with Ger
many that was in favor of joining
the allies as against Germany.
When l say keeps hands off this
relic of barbarism, l only voice the
sentiment of the great masses of
the peace-loving Americans who
are ready to answer the call of
arms whenever this country Is in
vaded by any enemy that has as
Its object the conquest of terri
tory.
Germany is struggling for her
very life and IL Uncle Sam were in
her position there is no doubt that
we or any other nation would do
the same. Self-defense is the first
law of nature.
If The Times would kindly print
vote coupon, say, for or against
war on a straw vote, the result L
venture to say would be over
whelmingly against war. Will
The Times dare do this?
Hoping that the editor will give
this article a place in it's valuable

He Dares Us
EDITOR THE TIMES:

My first thought upon reading
Secretary Daniels statement re-
garding voluntary censorship of
the American press was, will the
Tacoma Times and other papers OF
its type sacrifice their sensation
loving policy upon the altar of pa
triotism?
My curiosity was satisfied that
same night when read your glar-
ing headline "Shoot on Sight"
You have taken a very decided
stand for war and no doubt you
received orders from your superb
ors to do SO.
Now with the great majority Of
people action and not talk goes
over much stronger.
In order to make your argu-
ments more convincing, / for one,
would like to have you set us an
example and put your name on the
roster of one of our national guard
organizations.
You can be spared from your
line of work much better than
many other men who will have to
go in case of war.
There will be plenty of newspa-
pers to keep up the agitation.
have served two enlistments
and expect to serve another in case
of serious trouble and all that !
ask is that you and several others
who shout loud and long, because
you think you are safe. go out in
the same outfit with me.
Thank you for printing this in
the Editors Mail"

WILL REBUILD
CARR'S CABIN

Protesting that the old Carr
cabin, the first white mans home
in Tacoma, had been demolished
by the park board and not rebuilt,
a committee from the Women,s
club, composed of Mrs. G. p.
Smith, Mrs. w. Ii. Udall and Mrs.
Jacobs, appeared before the park
board Monday.
The women insisted that the
historic cabin be rebuilt. They
also asked permission to plant
rose bushes about 1t, and put a
brass tab on the door, explaining
the historic significance.
In accordance with the request,
1t was decided to rebuild the
cabin at once, placing 1t In some
important part of the park. The
ose-planting will occur May 10.
