Sides With Editor
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
I like very much your editorial
on Germans and Certain of Our
Narrow-Minded Patriots.
I am an American first, last
and all the time, born in the U.
S. and ready to fight for the flag
IL I see it necessary.
There is not a drop of German
blood in me, but such rot as these
so-called patriots and U. S. citi-
zens would make a German SYM
pathizer out of anybody. To my
mind this class of patriots are
more harmful to our country than
our German friends.
Why not give these boys some
of the injustice by penalty that
they would have our German citi-
Gems receive?
l would like to have answered
that letter of the U. s. Citizen
personally, but was afraid / could
not word it like a gentleman and
an American.
/ think you did it fine and give
the boys something to think
about, if they have any thing to
think with.
Thanking you in advance for
your time taken to read this,
I am a reader and subscriber
of Tacoma's best paper, The Ia
coma Times.

SLAVS START
A NEW CASE

A second case growing out of
the feud between Austrian and
South Slav organizations in Old
Town began Tuesday in Superior
Judge yesterdays court, where
the first one was thrown out
Monday because an error in the
complaint charged the offense
was committed on Jan. /, 1916,
instead of 1917.
The complaining witness in the
second case Is the same as in the
first, Nick Milicich. The defend
ant in the first case was Pete
Cerovich. In the second case
Mick Bascovich is accused of
having assaulted Milicich.
Milicich's story is that menu

Appreciation
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
Kindly publish this letter of ap-
probation, for your recent editor
ial on Germans; your fearless
handling of that un-American and
disgusting religious-political mess;
your noble work for the army post,
and, in fact, the whole tone of The
Tacoma Times.
The Times has not always in
the past been free from appeals to
class prejudice and unfair intima-
tions, and as one who realizes that
the power of the press is second to
no other influence in our country,
l cannot resist the desire to COM
ment upon the clean news and
able editorials which are now the
rule.
In the past few weeks I have
read SO many articles and editor
ials of such exceptional merit that
the thought this editor is a "brick"
and the conviction that he is a
mighty asset to the city and an
honor to his profession, is the
reason for my asking you to pub
fish this. Many others, am
sure, echo my thanks and will be
pleased to see this given promi-
nence In your paper.

TODAY'S CLEARINGS
TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair Is by far the most con-
spicuous thing about us and is
probably the most easily damaged
by bad or careless treatment. If
we are very careful in hair wash
ing, we will have virtually no hair
troubles. An especially fine
shampoo for this weather, one
that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves
and entirely removes all dandruff,
excess oil and dirt, can easily be
used at trifling expense by SIM
ply dissolving teaspoonful of
canthrox (which you can get at
any druggist's) in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough SO it is
easy to apply 1t to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head.
This chemically dissolves all i'm
purities and creates a soothing,
cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the
scalp spotlessly clean, soft and
plant, while the hair takes on the
glossy richness of natural color,
also O fluffiness which makes 1t
seem much heavier than 1t is.
After a canthrox shampoo, ar
ranging the hair is q pleasure.

Against War
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Our president has severed rela-
lions with Germany. Under the
law, as | understand 1t, IL I am
or legal age / can be called out
to take up arms whether l wish
1t or no.
1 was taught "Tho shalt not
kill" Numbering has been pc
tured to me as the most despica-
BILE act. I've been told that all
mankind agree that murder is
inherently wrong. / have believed
1t and felt it. My conscience re-
volts at taking of human life.
Why should l kill Germans
rather than Englishmen?
I've never to my knowledge
had German enemy but many
fairly good friends.
/ could not quiet my conscience
by saying l fought in self-defense.
None of my ships have been sunk
by the Germans. I'm perfectly
willing that those who have lost
goods at sea should hunt down
the culprits who sunk them and
give battle, il they like, but they
should not expect me to do their
dirty work. | would not kill to
defend property, neither mine nor
that of others.
The whole war is, at bottom,
only a question of dollars and
cents due to present world sys-
TEN of conducting trade.
Even If the majority of the peo-
pie of this country should vote
for war, I'm sure my conscience
would not consent to go to war
to kill my fellow beings. I don't
ask any of the benefits nor APP
plause which the victors may get.
Therefore, | think it only fair
that we should vote on the ques-
ton of war and IL the war prop
osition carried, let those who
voted for 1t do the fighting.

(Special to The Times,)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 20.-The fight
on the emergency clause, tackled
to the Reed-McCoy compromise
first aid bill to gag the right of
referendum by the labor organiza-
lions of the state which bitterly
opposed the measure, apparently
has brought results otday.
Organization leaders who pilot
ed the bill through the house have
backed down on the emergency
part of it, and are understood to
have agreed to see that the clause
is chopped off in the senate.
Change Attitude.
There has also been some fear
that the bill with the emergency
clause attached, might not meet
with the approval of the governor.
In fact, the legislature has been
less solicitous about the "immedi-
ate preservation of public health

Defends Men

EDITOR THE TIMES:
May" said a mouthful in her
last, Tuesday.
Does she mean to imply that
men are all rotten, and women
HAVE to follow suit? Take II
from a man that knows men and
women, good and bad, one that
has the very pardonable fault OF
being an OPP imist in spite of his
knowledge, that no girl, nor any
woman ever falls of necessity
"out of love-" as it were.
Sometimes they sin through
folly, and that is their most par
donable fall.
A good mother doesn't do
wrong for her children's sake!
And a good girl doesn't do wrong
at all.
Men and women are all weak
we realize that as we get on in
the game of life-but we're not
so wea that we CAN'T do right,
if we set our will to do SO.
We also take exception to the
statement that there are a hun
dred fallen men to every girl that
is strayed. You know human Ms
ture is the same-fallen-in both
men and women; one sex is as
strong to resist, and as weak also,
as the other.
Talk about your male seducers
you know more than |
do; l must say my acquaintance
with such is very narrow. BUT
| do know an awful lot of young
fellows that have sold their in
nocence to female seducers.
/ think after all that / agree
with May" because l, being a
man, see more of men, and find
the usual cause of their fall in
shameless women. May" sees it
from the opposite viewpoint.
If May is a man, then she is
certainly kidding herself" Tell
her there's too much of good and
of virtue in the world to be think
ing and writing about rot.
l. B. MERRY.
Vader.
p. S.-Tell that other lady,
hoover it was, that wrote about
fallen men" Wednesday, We don't
exactly call her a liar, but we'd
lot rather hear something GOOD
about EVEN women, than such a
lot of rot and bombast about our
selves. Thank you,

EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
read Mr.. McKees letter in last
Tuesdays Times. / have asso-
ciated with working men in the
Puget Sound country for the past
10 years.
During that time have become
acquainted with men from nearly
all parts of the world and United
States. l am a workingman my
self and have discussed with them
political conditions, wars and
causes of wars, who fights in bat
ties and gets shot, who profits by
war, and who pays the bills when
war is over.
/ have read both capitalist
newspapers and labor newspapers
and have kept fairly we'll posted
as to what goes on.
! wish to say that Mr.. McKee's
letter certainly expresses the
opinion of nearly every working
man and. woman who is enlight-
ened on this war proposition.
If the newspapers would devote
as much space toward explaining
the why and wherefor of war as
they do in agitating preparedness
and getting the public worked up
to a pitch of excitement, SO that
it will stand for anything, the
world would be better off.
Down with war and cause of
war, and hats off to Mr.. Mckee,
for having the courage to speak
the thoughts of many minds.

distribution and sale of grain bags

This was shown yesterday when
the Joint public utilities, reporting
out senate bill SO, designed to
place the jitneys under the control

The jitney bill, fathered by
Senator Jesse Jones, and intend

Another measure from which
the emergency clause was stricken

Dogs

To Mr.. more Dog" will say:
Now every dog has his day, and
they do say the more dogs the
more days, and how glad we all
are when the dog days are ended
l agree with the one who OBJ
jects to more dogs in the city, al
though some dogs may keep their
masters motor cars from being
stolen, and they may also protect
a few children from harm. Dogs
have been known to do such
things.
But take IL all round, they are
generally considered more of
nuisance than anything else. If
Mr.. More Dog ever lived in a
neighborhood where few dogs
kept up a nightly concert, or even
one dog barking at his own echo
will keep a neighborhood In a
strained condition.
No one should ever be allowed
to keep a dog or dogs in city,
and | think anyone who wishes
to keep dogs Should migrate 10
the country and settle on Sec
ton of land and build 12-foot
board fence around 1t.
And here | would like to say a
few words to the grocers. 1t is
getting time for them to set their
vegetables out on the pavement.
What we want is to have them set
on high boxes.
Mr.. Health Officer, take notice,
you who think you can handle

nothing but draw your salary,
Better start your pure food in

Free Speech

EDITOR THE TINES:
"A True Blue American" wants
to know what to do with the l,
w. WIS.
Now anybody that does not
know that free speech has been
denied in this country wouldn't
know what to do with the l. w.
VS. II somebody told him. But
here goes, anyway.
Freedom of assemblage (for
discussion, freedom of speech
(for diseussion), freedom of press
tfor discussion). Give the l. w.
w. these three great rights and
the full value of his labor, then
there will be no occasion for such
a massacre as took place in Ever
EFT.
For proof of the suppression of
free speech see page SO of the
report on industrial relations.
This report was approved by the
first session of Gath congress of
the U. S. A, April Is, 1850
Violence can be prevented only
by removing the causes of vio-
lence; industrial peace can rest
only upon industrial justice.
The following piece written by
Wendell Philips is one that should
appeal to every true American:
No matter whose lips that
speak, they must be free and un-
gagged. Let us believe that the
whole truth can never do harm
to the whole of virtue; and re-
member that in order to get the
whole truth you must allow ever
man, right or wrong, freely to
utter his conscience, and to pro-
tect him in so doing. Entire, un-
shackled freedom for every mans
life. no matter what his doctrine
the safety of free discussion, no
matter how wide its range. The
community which dares not pro-
tect its humblest and most hated
member in the free utterance of
his opinions, no matter how false
or hateful, is only a gang of
slaves"
