BOSSISM
HIT HARD
BY RULE
By Edgar G. Wheeler

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-Whether
or not the senate approves the
new rule to be introduced Monday
by Senator Nichols, providing for
the election of the rules commit
tee by a vote of the senator's, it
will have this effect:
1t will kill the latest at
tempt of the organization to
bury progressive legislation
in a rules committee hand
picked by a reactiOnary lieu
tenant governor.
It will mean the death of the
rule proposed by Carlson and sup
ported by the organization, which
would take legislation out of the
hands of the peoples representa-
tives and place 1t at the mercy of
a high-handed clique of would-be
special managers.
For Nichols. in his proposed
radical rule, has put the issue
clearly up to the senate, like this:
"All right" says Nichols to the
organization, I'VE will accept your
rule placing legislation at the
mercy of the rules committee .
PROVIDED THAT COMMITTEE
is CHOSEN BY THE SENATOR'S
AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
PEOPLE. and not hand-picked by
a lieutenant governor who is not
even a member OF the legislature,
and who does not represent the
wishes of the people Of the state"
1t requires two-thirds major
ity of the senate to pass a new
rule. With that issue before It.,
the senate will kill the organiza-
tons high-handed proposal.
1t may turn down the Nichols
rule, as well.
But in any event, the interests
of free legislation will have been
safeguarded. Nichols proposed
rule is a master stroke.

"WlLLINC TO DIE FOR
BIRTH CONTROL CAUSE

o their graves unnoticed and their
agonies and death unknown. Mrs.
Byrne feels that one more death
laid at the door of the government
of this state is of little conse-
quence as a life.
But If such should be her lot,
and If her strike should end in
her death, as well it may, 1t shall
at least be known that she died
because of this same law.
Women of the State of lew
York and of the nation:
To let Mrs. Byrne die will
the beginning of the end of yoh
freedom for another generation. \
Already the hand of tyranny has
throttled our every effort to OBJ
tain Justice. With you rests the
power to voice your feelings.
Birth control is practically q
new subject in the United States.
Birth control is not an attack on
the birth rate as such. It is a
scientifically Just and humane eff
fort to prevent the birth of more
children than parents can endow
with strong bodies, sound minds
and a fair chance In the battle of
life. Nothing more.
Birth control is social princi-
pie with a message to womankind,
especially to working women, al
ready entrapped as she is in the
meshes of ignorance.
This ignorance is the lot Of
working women alone. 1t is the
working man, his wife and his
family that present the problems
of this generation.
The women of wealth can and
have obtained this knowledge and
put 1t into practice, have been re-
lieved of overwhelmed maternity
and are free to experience the Joy
of life which only welcome child
hood and voluntary motherhood
can bring.

WHY NOT
NAME IT
APPLEBY?

Pierce county's great army post
at American lake should be named
Camp Appleby, in honor of Ste
phen Appleby, the man who con-
ceived the army post idea and did
most work towards achieving it.
This suggestion was made Sat
urday by Mayor Fawcett, after he
had heard reports that the name
of Gen. Stevens, first governor of
Washington. might be given the
post.
81 believe in giving the credit
where 1t is DUE" said Fawcett.
"Mr. Appleby originated the
idea of bringing a great U. S. army
post to Tacoma, and he worked
untiringly to achieve 1t. I believe
that the post should be named
after him.
"If we can't do that, let's name
It Camp Tacoma. In that way
Tacoma will get more advertising
throughout the world. We will
soon have the name of the noun
tain changed to Tacoma, and with
the camp named after the city, we
should soon be known In every
corner Of the earth.
Gov. Stevens may have been
great man, but why should we give
this honor to a person whom the
rising generation has scarcely
heard Of? Let's name the army
post in a way that will do the most
good"
Naming of the army post will
be in the hands of Maj. Gen. Bell,
who will be in charge of the
camp, 1t is reported.

Mrs. Byrne's condition was
slightly improved"
Mrs. Margaret Sanger, her sis-
ter, and leader in the birth con-
troll movement, declared, however,
that she had received confident al
information that the condition Of
Mrs. Byrne is serious. She said
she understood her sister was in
a state of coma.
Goes Without Food.
Up to the time of being forcibly
fed, Mrs. Byrne had been without
food or water for 1913 hours. Al
though very weak yesterday, her
general condition appeared good
and her determination to continue
the hunger strike was inflexible.
DR.. lrma r. Howard, in charge
of the women's ward at Black
wells island. was apprehensive
late last night and warned Com
missioner Lewis that she would
not be responsible for Mrs.
Byrne's condition If she continued
without food or water more than
few hours.
At that hour she described Mrs.
Byrne's mouth as being so dry by
lack of liquids that ''she could
hardly talk" but said her will was
still as strong as ever.
Although details of the feeding
were refused by Blackwell's is
land officials today. it was known
that the tube" method, adopted
by English physicians in forcibly
feeding militant suffrag ettes, had
been planned.

CEMETERY LOT TAX
 ORDINANCE FAVORED
Alderman Means Requests, However That Measure Go Over Until
 Nnyf MaafinU

The ordinance introduced by Alder man J. H. Means, chairman of the cemetery committee of the city coun- cil, fixing tax of $2 per lot on all cemetery lots, thus to provide fund for Identification and upkeep of the cemetery property, was given it's sec ond reading at the session last night of the city council, and at the request of Alderman Means it was allowed to remain on the calendar, to be brought up at the next meeting for it's third reading and adoption.
 MT. Means explained to the council that since the ordinance was intro duced and given it's first reading, he has been approached by many lot owners, not ono of whom made ob- jection to the ordinance, and some of whom even suggested that the tax be a little higher, that greater good might be accomplished, and that the cemetery grounds may be beautified to tho greatest extent possible. He desired to give the people even more time to deliberate, however, hence the request that the ordinance remain on the calendar another fortnight.
 S1ly CISo1llSC1 II oAh 1AAACIi h'Iu PI V pared detailed plans, showing the topography of the cemetery property each lot numbered and otherwise iden- tified. His statement showed there are 1,O27 lots in the main cemetery and 346 in the annex, total of 1878 lots, tax of $2 on each lot, therefore meaing a fund of about $2,50o, with which MT. Means said the cemetery property can be very greatly improved and beautified.
 City Collector Will Hut had pre- pared a statement of the ownership of the lots which have been sold, and this indicates quite number of the owners are unknown to the city au- thorities. Efforts will be made al once to ascertain these owners to as great an extent as possible.
