Wright presented her husband with
bouncing baby girl last Wednesday after
noon and it was drag and draw between
the father and the grandfather, which felt
the better over the arrival of the young
miss.
It's really amusing to watch the local
Democratic campaign committee search for
victims with whom to make up Demo-
cratic ticket for the coming fall election
Despite the fact there is Democratic pres-
dent Of our country and a Democratic gov
ernor of the state Of Washington, yet Dem
ocratic voters are as scarce this year as the
proverbal hens tooth.
Segregation, so far as the colored citizens
Of this country are concerned, shows up so
often that it's enough to discourage the
strongest minds, but getting discouraged
does not help the situation. 1t is the duty
of every man and woman to be prepared to
meet it often it presents itself and
Stay it, hip and thigh.
Pending a thorough investigation Police
Officer L. M. Norton has been suspended
by the chief of police. Rumor has it that
other officers will be caught in the drag
net and thereby prove beyond a reason of
doubt that there are "crooks' on the police
force the same as "under the bed'
excepting the race pure' the slogan Of
the L. s. senators from the South, is so
ridiculous that it's ludicrous. There are
upwards of six million mixed bloods (white
and black) in the United States and the
white man is wholly responsible for them
all. Keep the race impure has been the
white mans burden ever since the first
black woman landed in the new world.
"A move has been made by an organization
whose head is in Kansas, to habeas corpus
the convicted members of the Oath Infantry
now in the federal penitentary at Leaven-
worth, Kansas, who were found guilty in
connection with the Ft Sam Houston riots
The grounds on which their proceedings are
based sound plausible and we hope they win
In the investigation Of the murder of John
Murray the sheriff's office has unearthed
a sweet nest of poecats and poisoned purps.
AS bitterly opposed as we are to lynching
or capital punishment, yet nothing but one
or both of them would seem meet and
proper for the perpetra tors of such dia-
bloical crime.
You, who have been interested in the
Negro Business Mems League of Seattle,
are requested to be on hand next Sunday
afternoon at the regular monthly meeting,
to listen to some important business that
must be disposed of at that time Fail you
not to be present
Our "Berin or Bust article in last
weeks issue hit the public just right and
"llawk the Kaiser' has been buzzed in
our ear all the week. If the Allies con-
tinue to route the enemy it will be matter
of but a very short time before it will be
"to hell with the Kaiser"
If the health conditions Of Seattle do not
improve now that the winter rains have set
in then it will be vastly different than in
the past. AS pleasant as is the fall sun
shine on Puget Sound the appearance of
Jupiter Pluvius is more than welcome just
now.
If William Gottsten is innocent of all
the crimes that are now being laid at his
cell door he is much in the condition of
old dog Tray-found in damn bad company.
In our opinion, however, Mr.. Gottstein had
finger in the pie and he had as well give

We desire to suggest to the Allies that
they begin at once to have their artisans
