and operate the same. Since the appear
ance of the jitney in Seattle the street car
company claims that it has lost heavily on
it's investment and public sentiment being
favorable to the jitney it apparently being
impossible to drive it out, though it has been
badly hampered. The stock holders, it is ar
gued, see even worse conditions for them in
the future than in the immediate past and to
dispose Of the entire street car system and
lighting plant to the city, would mean no
further loss of money on their part. The
move on the part Of the city authorities to
throw the company in the hands of a re-
ceiver has not been discouraged by the To-
cal authorities of the company and this has
given color to the allegation. If there be
anything in this and if it should happen
to come about then Seattle would be in
municipal ownership up to it's head and
if there be any merit in the theory, it would
have to be brought out or the city would
herself soon be in bankruptcy. With the
city operating the street car system the
question is, would the jitneys be permitted
to operate as they have been, or for self
protection, would the city council force
them completely out of business? which
should be done, whether the street cars are
operated by the present, some other COM
pany the city. The jitney is an inter-
lOper and merits no consideration at the
hands Of the public

THE JITNEYS IN CLOVER

Since the mind Of man runneth not to
the contrary it has been said, cts an i'll
wind that blows no one good" and the
street car strike has proven so to the jit-
ney men. Not only those jitneys that were
already in service took fresh lease of
life, but hundreds of others went into the
business and during the few days the street
cars have been tied up, they have each
realized hundreds of dollars from the bust
ness of conveying passengers to and from
the business center Of the town. Some Of
the Ford car owners have made on an aver
age of fifty dollars per day and the big
truck operators have doubled and trebled
that amount. William Chandler the fuel
dealer at once threw one Of his big trucks
into the game and it has simply been coin
ing money for him ever since Other col
ored machine owners also went into the
business and they have done exceedingly
we'll and we are not so sure, but that they
are really glad that the car tie up hap
pened.

CHIEF ROCKINGHAM RIGHT!

In discharging policeman, who refused
to obey orders and protect the strike-break-
ers, while they are making their deliveries
for the various express companies Chief
Rockingham has done his duty and his
whole duty, and in case others assume
like attitude as did the one already dis
charged, then they too should be fired i'm
mediatey, if not sooner. An officer must
obey orders though he has to do things
that he himself thinks absolutely wrong. In
another column hereof we have taken the
same position on this strike as has the chief
of the police, that is clear the streets of
excited strikers, who sooner or later would
cause untold blood-shed, if permitted to
terrorize the streets as they had for
number of days It will be remembered
that the police last summer in the water
front strike took the same attitude as did
the man discharged by the chief last Thurs
day, and we have always suspected that the
mayor and the chief also shared in the same
attitude, and they stood silently by while
the mobs beat up and in one instance, killed
the colOred strike breakers. In taking the
oath of office as a policeman or an officer
Of the law you are no longer yourself. You
bury sentiment and your personal sympa-
thies then and there. In the performance

An officer Of the law must do his duty as
laid down by his superior and his failure
to do so should be the signal for his i'm
mediate discharge

THE PASSING SHOW

The week ending has been fraught with
strikes and rumOrs of strikes not only in
Seattle, but all over the country The street
car men of Tacoma opened the week with
general tie-up of all the lines in the city.
The company refused to recognize their
union as well as to grant other demands
and so general strike was ordered. From
the stubbOrness on the part of both en-
ployer and former employe the trouble prom
Uses to be of long duration, though the city
authorities may step into the breach and
demand a settlement for the benefit of the
patrons of the various lines.
general strike among the loggers and
single weavers has been on for the past
week and unless the same be settled in the
very near future it will involve the various
saw mills OF the state and in that case the
entire lumber industry will be paralized.
The l. w. w. all over the country have
become exceedingly active and fomenting
trouble whenever and wherever they can
and if they continue at the gate they have
been going it is only question of time
when the whole country will be gurgling
like seething kettle and condition like
unto civil war will prevail throughout the
United States
The story sent out by the Associate Press
to the effect that four German submarines
were sunk by American men of war, while
conveying the U. S. troops to France, the
same eminating from a German source,
sounds so fshy that, it was foolish to send
it out in the shape of news. Such may
have happened but the Germans themselves
would hardly have reported it.

insists that Germany fight it out if it takes
all summer and all of her men. Austria
is reported sick of the game and her people
are demanding a break away from the
Kaiser and his armies How much of the
reported German internal disturbance be
actually true is hard to say because the
news comes from an anti-German source.
Mondays report declared the Russian
soldiers had the Austrian army on the run
and that too in demoralized condition.
Seattle, like Tacoma, is now paralized
with complete street car tie up. The men
did not strike for more pay, but for a
recognition OF their union, which the COM
panys officials declare they will never do.
Sympathy eminating from the people in gen
eral seems to be with the strikers, though
that is liable to change at any minute. The
much dispised jitneys on the part Of the
traction company is in the meanwhile en-
joying financial harvest.
