Mr.. Seymour has always taken
a deep interest In Tacoma's parks.
The big conservatory in Wright
park was presented by him to the
city several years ago.
Came Here i'm 80.
Mr.. Seymour came to Tacoma in
1889 and remained here until 1894
when he returned to New York. He
come back to Tacoma in 1900 and
has remained here since that time,
engaged in the investment bank
ing business.
He has been interested in pub
lie utility corporations of the state,
including gas and water systems
for smaller cities.
He was elected mayor in 1910
and served three years. During his
residence In Tacoma he has been
closely identified with all progress
sive measures for the development
of the city. He is member of the
First Congregational church.

w. w. Seymour, former mayor
of Tacoma, and candidate for park
commissioner at Tuesdays cleo
ton, wants to bring the people of
Tacoma in closer touch with the
parks.
Il think that every effort should
be made to let the people of Ia
&C M feel that the parks belong
to them, to use as often and as
much as they choose" said the ex-
mayor today.
81 would like to see a general
distribution Of plants and flowers
and trees to the people. I believe
that our park Conservatives could
supply enough plants for distri-
button SO that in a short time 1t
would make a big difference in
the appearance of the city.

on parkings, and then, IL 1t were
found that the park system could
supply the demand, they could be
given to home owners. In this
way the parks would be beautify-
ing the city in general, and doing
a very great good to the people"
Mr.. Seymour was president OF
the park board for three years, re-
81 Ding when he became mayor.
During his term on the park COM
mission, he worked hard for the
installation of recreation centers
and Fairgrounds.
During his administration pub
lie tennis courts were constructed
in Tacoma, playfield apparatus
was purchased, and work was
started on the immense playground

has not been developed because Of
lack of funds.

they can take recreation, and l am
strongly in favor of spending all

Justice With a Heart

Old time jurists would frown their dsapproval
of what Chicago Judge did the other day-but
what he did is sign that we have moved beyond
the ideas of old time jurists, as we have moved
beyond many other customs and ideas Of older
times.
This jurist bad before him man accused Of
stealing parcel post packages The verdict was
guilty. The sentence was to be Imprisonment.
But wait. The prisoner was married-and in
two months baby was to be born.
Here was where modern practice broke with
the old.
81 know you can't get ball." said the judge,
"but don't want to send you away now. If let
you go will you come back like man after your
child is born?"
81 will, - said the prisoner
1t is good to find judges Of that kind. 1t warns
one around the heart. The world is better for
that kind of justice.

Mr.. Renter, there are three
very good reasons why you should
own home.
FIRST OF all, your pocketbook
will profit by the investment. You.
Mr.. Renter, pay the profit and in
terest upon the landlords invest
ment. Figure 6 per cent interest
on your investment plus the taxes
as your rent IL you owned your
home and see how much you
would save. The proposition is
even more attractive when you
consider that land is O safe in
vestment, while other capitalistio
enterprises, for example, the Te-
nino oil wells, are not always SO
secure. You will find also that
business men always give prefer
ence in their transactions to the
man who owns a home.
Then, too. you should own q
home for social reasons. You are
now only a tenant but by buying
a home you become a resident.
The resident fills a permanent So
cial position in the community.
AS rule you renters, like Gypsies,
are a restless class of people con-
tinually moving about and are
undesirable because of your very
instability.
The third reason for owning a
home is simply the personal sat
isfaction that such ownership. af-
fords and yet 1t Is the most i'm
portant fnducement of all. Life
Is enjoyable where you can raise
a garden, keep a few chickens,
trim a lawn, and plant flowers for
yourself and family and not for
some one else. You will profit
financially and socially by own
ing home but II you are human
the paramount return from your
investment will be the inward 10y
Of owning and caring for a home.
In conclusion, let me say that
now is the time to buy. These
great industries establishing In
Tacoma are to be permanent. You
will never be able to buy cheaper
or with better prospects than now.
