SEATTLE'S SHAME

Seattle, to its shame and disgrace, aas been put under the ban by the commanding officer at Camp Lewis.
 Officers and men when off duty are forbidden to visit this city, save by special permission.
 Failure to hold vice in check, if not 10 eradicate it, is responsible for this quarantine. Maj. Gen. Greene, in the action taken, gives damaging proof of his lack of confi- tence in the efforts to date Co clean u0 the city. He flatyl Ryes that such efforts are nil.
 Interest, fear or lnetficiency," he says, in these reproachful words, have stopped the police force from doing It's full duty in the prmeises; and so, tired of waiting for Seat tls to accomplish something defin- ite In the way Of a vice crusade" he is forced to put the city un- der the ban.
 His action is harsh. It gives Seattle the blackest of black eyes. It sdYertises the municipality's looseness to the world. Coming up- on the heels of scandals of the past, 1t is a body blow to Seattle and nurtful in the extreme. It brings the blush of shame to every decent citizen. It drags the city's name into the mire. It discredits the sense of loyalty toward the sol diery Of this patriotic community. It negatives to m extent and for the moment the magnificent work Seattle has done and Is doing, and so gloriOusly, in so many fine causes appertaining to lhe war. It's ill-effects, the shame and dis grace In the train Of such an odious quarantine, cannot be overstated pr oYer-estimated The odium Is un- escap1ble.
 Harsh? Yes, a very harsh action. It bespesks militarism and is at tuned to the military way of doing things. A municipality may De trfled with, an electorate treated as Jest, law defied and the courts mOcked. but not the military au- thor1iies in time Of war.
 Harrh as it Is, costly as the ugly lesson must be, the Post-In- telligeneer cannot in conscience call it an unjustiiiable action. It does not even express surprise. Amaze nent 1t has none whatever. In view of fair warning given and manifest patience shown surprise might well bs felt had this harsh action not been taken.
 Balntedly establishing a quaran- tine of Its own after tardily dis covering the need therefor and ex- posing infection most menacing toI public welfare, but otherwise al- lowing vice to run its rampant way and giving constant evidence of of ficiRl la1ity or inefficiency, well may Seattle have expected to be put under the ban.
 Truth to tell, 1t invited 1t. What is Seattle going to do about 1t? Certainly there is much to do and at once. A cleaned-up city Is impossible without q cleaned up police department. A clean rity Is not to be had at the hands pt ruling authorities who obviously

HoovER's COIN TO GET xoU

TO REVIEW new CROP
PLANTS And RESULTS
Professor Churchill 10 Discuss I'm.
portant Agricultural Work Before
PoIyteehnies..

The topic of the meeting Of the
Polytechnic society this evening is
A Review Of Some Crop Plants
Introduced by the u. s. Department
of Agriculture, which will be dis
cussed by Prof. o. o. Churchill.
During the entire history of
cultivated plants two lines of
development have been followed;
namely, the improvement Of plants
already under cultivation, and the
introduction of new plants.
The results of selection and cross
fertilization Of plants has been a
most interesting work which at times
produces striking results, but few
ideas make a stronger appeal to the
Imagination than that Of the intro
duction Of an entirely new plant
which may have a strong influence
upon the agriculture of the future.
Even IL only a small number of
those introduced prove of exceptional
value, such notable examples as the
potato, corn and alfalfa which are Of
comparatively recent date, show
what possibilities such work has.
Sudan grass, while not so well adapt
ed to the northern states, is a recent
introduction which has given large
returns. The work of the depart
ment of agriculture in searching for
and developing such plants is one of
its important fields of activity and a
review OF such seems especially fit-
ting at this time when agricultural
production is under unusual strain.

Duties of Local Committee.
Touching on the duties Of the local
fuel administration and the local
committee which he has appointed,
1t Is in their power to gather infor-
nation regarding the supply of fuel
in their several communities, to
ascertain the fuel needs OF the COM
munity with special regard to points
OF immediate need; to investigate
carefully and report at once on
prices at which each size and quail
ity Of coal is sold; to ascertain gross
margin charges by each dealer ana
whether excessive and when called
upon to investigate the status Of
contracts between jobbers or oper-
ators and industrial plants, especial
ly where suchc ~ontracts call for de-
livery at prices below the Presidents
price with a view to insuring prompt
deliveries under these contracts.
