Indications are that the Liberty
Loan has surpassed 5000, 900, 600 in
subscriptions by several hundred mil
lions. A compilation Of estimated
subscriptions from all districts made
public by the Treasury showed to-
tai of $4,555, 100000, but that was
admittedly an underestimate. The
number of subscribers, officials esti-
mated, will be at least 5000, 600, and
may 90 as high as 100000. Sub
scriptions Saturday, all districts re-
ported, were far and away the great

peace officer who violates the law?
Does any citizen feel proud of a
Commercial Club" which browbeats
and bulldozes the merchants of the
town?
Any citizen who does feel proud of
these two things" has slight con-
ception of shame.
Let every person who engaged in
that Beverly Park affair look into
his dictionary and see if he can find
something like this: "Shame-feeling
caused by the exposure of that which
ought to be concealed, or by the con-
ciousness of guilt" No wonder the
participants in that shameful affair
don't want to see the full particulars
in print.
And again:
Regardless of the difficulties of
the situation, the success of our Of
ficials in handling it shows the
soundness of the present policy, car
ried through without display, but
also without fear or favor"
Well, "what do you know about
that?" Carried through without
display" huh? There was no brass
band playing thrilling military airs
at Beverly Park,
If Ananaias were editing news
paper in Everett he would not be able
from experience or ability to write
anything like that And finally:
Everett is now in condition to
make a bid for some of the big in
dustries that are seeking locations
on the Sound"
All right If any man or any
company, corporation or trust comes
here to look over the field with a
view of building up an industry here
let the Tribune render him what as
sistance is within its power and use
its columns to prevent the new con-
Germ from being robbed by an ex-
tortionate real estate deal, or to pre-
vent the Commercial Club from tax
ing charge of his business as soon as
he arrives, telling him just how to
run it to suit the Club, and particu-
Iarly, that he must not employ union
labor or he will be blacklisted by the
sawdust aristocrats who run the
Commercial Club" of this town.

'The true distinction between per-
secution and punishment) is perfectly
obvious. To punish a man because he
has committed crime, is not perse-
cution. To punish man because we
infer from the nature of some doc
trine he holds or from the conduct of
other persons who hold the same doc
trine with him, that he will commit
a crime-is persecution, and is in
every case foolish and wicked"
The honorable Auberon Herbert, a
member of English parliment, has
said: "Of all the miserable, unprofit-
able, inglorious wars in the world, is
the war against words. Let men say
just what they like. -. We
have nothing to do with a mans
words, or a mans thought, except
to put against them better words and
better thoughts and so to win in the
great moral and intellectual duel that
is always going on and on which all
progress depends"
Greatest Minds in Harmony
This subject of free speech has en-
gagged the attention of the greatest
minds of history. The Free Speech
League has gathered together essays
advocating the right of untrammeled
utterance, by such men as Milton,
Spinotza, Locke, Voltaire, Robert
Hall, Lord Erskine, Bentham, Thomas
Cooper John Stewart Mill, the His
torian Lecky, and Herbert Spencer
Practically all of these men agree
that not only is the right of untram-
meled speech necessary for progress,
but also that nothing tends to pro-
woke riot and revolution so much as
the suppression Of speech.
Lord Erskine, at one time Lord
Chancellor of Great Britain, speak
ing to the point that the suppression
of ideas fosters revolution, said "Con-
straint is the natural parent of resist
ance.

The legislature is in session. Let
us hope that whatever it may do none
of its acts viii be as bad as those
past by the reactionary "bunch" of
1915.
The people are so careless about
e.actinQ their representatives that
much harm is sometimes done by the
peoples Representatives.
The voters will expeud all their
.lrplus political energies endeayor-
ing to elect high-salaried executive
officers while they pay little or no
attention to legislative candidates,
not knowing anything about their
capabilities or views, or integrity, or
anything else. This is because the
legislative candidates are given a
place low down on the ticket, while
their place should be at the top of
the ticket. Their office is most i'm
portant, for to them is given the au-
thority to make the laws which it is
the duty of other officials to execute.
The lower the grade of honesty and
intelligence in a legislative body the
better the privileged classes like it.
If the acts of the present legisla-
ture don't suit you, don't sit around
on your tail bones and howl like lone
some dogs, but hold your howl till

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS

Last Monday the county officers
elected in November were sworn in.
The officers reelected enter upon
their duties with the endorsement by
the people of the manner in which
they performed their duties during
the two years just past. The new
ones are the Sheriff, the Treasurer,
the Assessor, the Superintendent of
School and one County Commissioner.
Of these the Sheriff enters upon
his duties with a delicate situation
confronting him, inherited, as it were,
from his predecessor. The latter al
lowed an unofficial civic organization
to NEEDLE with and control the af-
fairs Of his office in its own interests
and to the dehiment of all other in
terests, business and social, in Sno-
homish county.
The people have confidence in the
new Sheriff, believing him to be de-
termined to administer his office i'm
partially and in accord with the law.
No good citizen could ask more.
The other new officers as well as
those reelected have no such burden
some heritage.
The journal wishes them all a pros
porous administration, so conducted
that the people will say to each at
the conclusion of his term, "Well
done, thou good and faithful servant"

GRANDILOQUENT BLAST
OF TRIBUNE'S BAZOO

Under the caption Everett is on
Earth Again Industrially" the Tri-
bune of the 5th inst. breaks forth
with some cline stuff" 1t says:
"Everett's waterfront, these days,
reveals a condition which is highly
complimentary to the officials of
Snohomish county and the city Of
Everett. Notwithstanding the pres
ence of a picket line, both morning
and evening, visit to that indus
trial area shows an army of well paid
and seemingly contented workmen
coming and going at will without in
reference of picketers or any one
else"
The peace officials of Snohomish
county very naturally receive the
credit for the present peaceful con-
dition on Everett's waterfront from
the Tribune, the organ of the gang
which is responsible for the dis
turbed conditions and reign of terror
which ruled in Everett in the last
three months But there are think
ing people in this town who know
that the peaceful condition just anti
dating the Tribune's editorial were
due to the efforts of trade unionists
and their leaders through their eff
forts to interest state and national
authorities in Eyerett's behalf and
the efforts Of business and profess
sional men to bring about peace
which was broken by the Everett
Commercial Club and the mill-owner
bosses Of that organization. The
Tribune further says:
When one ronsiders the lawlessness
ness that has been perpetrated in
Everett within the last few months,
and all the trials that have harassed
our social and business life, this con-
dition must certainly be pleasing to
every law-abiding and decent person
in the country"

1916 BABY WEEK
WAS A SUCCESS
(From U. S. Dept. of Labor
Children's Bureau)

1916 was Baby Year. That was
settled once for all by the two thous-
and and more communities scattered
over every State in the Union which
observed the first nationwide Baby
Week. Forty seven of the so cities
with more than 100000 population,
and 700 villages and rural communi-
ties with less than $500 population
had Baby-Weeks.
The 1917 Baby Week bids fair to
be an even bigger, more worth while
celebration than last years, but 1916
will keep the distinction of being the
year when each community's provi-
sion for the welfare of its Babies was
generally recognized as a serious civ
ic responsibility.
The Children's Bureau at Wash
ington has already received numer-
Gus inquiries concerning the 1917
Baby Week, and the Bureau is MAX
ing the following suggestions:
Have your Baby Week from the LIST
to the 9Th of May if possible. This
date has been agreed upon by the
Bureau and the General Federation
of Women's Clubs as the time best
adapted to the varing conditions of
different States.
Remember the older babies. AS
one woman stated it:
1t requires only II months for a
baby to become 1 year old and no
longer subject to the hazards of Gin
FAINT mortality" but there are still
many risks for him to encounter; he
is still absolutely helpless, although
increasingly charming, and his par
ents are as eager to keep him well
and happy, as DESTROYS of sound adj
vice, as they were last year. Open
out the 1917 Baby Week to include
all children still at home with their
mothers.
Remember the mothers. Well
cared for, healthy mothers are nee
essary for the health and happiness
Of their babies. Find out what your
community is doing to ensure to
every mother skilled advice and ade-
Quate care before her baby is born
and during her confinement, and give
the Importance Of protecting the mo-
Their a prominent place in the educa-
tional work Of the campaign.
And one word to communities
where infantile paralysis has been
epidemic: Mothers should be urged
to leave the baby at home during
Baby Week. Any feature of the
campaign involving the bringing to-
gether Of the mothers Of babies must
of course be omitted, but such fea-
lures are not essential to the interest
and success of a campaign Any
Baby Week will afford an excellent
opportunity for giving information
as to the proper physical training of
children with paralized muscles.
The Children's Bureau has a bulle-
tin Of suggestions for Baby Week
campaigns which may be had upon
request, and it is now preparing a
revised edition describing the inter
esting new features reported from
the 1916 campaigns.
