which is an increase Of wages over what
the same class Of mechanics got two years
ago or in 1916, of 100 per cent and yet
that same shipyard mechanic insists on his
landlord raising his rent just 25 per cent
over what it was in 1916. In other words
if he was paying $12 per month for
steam heated apartment in 1916, which was
the current price, he says that the rent OF
the same apartment now should only be
$16 per month. Fuel and other apartment
house necessities, be it remembered, have
increased 100 per cent and yet the rent
must only be increased 25 per cent Who
argues thusly is too silly to answer. The
apartment that rented for $12 in 1916 should
now rent for $50 if the owner of the property
is expected to net per cent per annum on
his investment In 1916 there was not an
apartment house in Seattle that net
ting per cent per annum on the invest
ment and even today there is perhaps not
one in the city that is netting I per cent
per annum on the investment. AS an
operator of an apartment house we would
gladly accept 7 per cent per annum net
on our investment and let the other fellow
take the leavings. But, as said above, Or
ganized labor wants it's profiteering to be
made permanent but wants the other fel
lows cut out. It's another case of "God
bless me and my wife, my son John and his
wife, us four and no more, and to hell
with all the rest.

SOME SICKLY SENTIMENT

Whoever was responsible for the fight
which the daily press made for the nomina-
tion Of Mrs. Beals for justice Of the peace
Of Seattle, ought to seek employment with
Barnum' s aggregation as being past master
at humbugging the public One Cynthia
Gray in the Star claimed that Mrs. Beals
was supporting the families Of her husband
and two brothers who are over there, when
in fact there was not a word of truth in
the statement Frank and Johnny Carroll,
Mrs Beals' brothers, are brave boys and all
Seattle is proud of them and will do them
great honor if they ever return, but they
each get upwards of 5000 per month and
their wives and children are looked after
by our government, and to leave the i'm
preston that Mrs. Beals is caring for the
three families on $3.50 per month is so
ridiculous that it is absolutely rotten. Ir-
respective of who is cover there, ;" one seek
ing public office should be supported from
meritorious standpoint and not from a
deceiving sympathetic standpoint. If one
does not merit thing then he or she
should not get it.

WANT TO BE CITIZENS

Thousands of war workers from China
and Japan are being employed in France
under contract ''for the war;" but there
is another clause in that contract which
says, "be it understood that if these war
workers desire to remain in France after the
war they are not to be molested. In other
words the Orientals are making it possible
to remain in Europe after the cruel war
is all over and perhaps sooner or later as
simulate with the natives in whatever Euro
pean country they find themselves when
peace is declared. We have since the
breaking out of the war maintained that
the present conflict was the end of the
white mans supremacy and that a race
conglomeration would follow peace. The
Latin countries are already made up of
mixture of bloods and with the Orientals
there in great numbers and shortage of
men, it is fair to presume that hybred
race will show up in a few years after the
war.

DROP THE HYPHEN

Since Uncle Sam s entire into the Euro
pean war the Europeans and their descend
ants in the United States have dropped their
hyphenated suffxes and instead of Irish
Americans and the like all Of them have
voted that in the future to be just plain
Americans, but the black man and his des-
cendants still insist on holding on to the
hyphenated suffx and label themselves Afro
Americans or Negroes thus making them
the only foreigners now fighting for the
flag lover there" | want to see the black
Americans, like the Eurpeaons, become plain
Americans and if there be any disposition
on the part Of the white Americans to deny
them that right then fight for their rights.
The black men of this country are as loyal
and patriotic as are the white men and are
giving as good account Of themselves over
there as the white men despite the fact they
know that their brothers and sisters at home
are being as shamefully mistreated by the
Huns of the South as are the Belgians by
the Huns Of Germany. Think about col
ored American soldier striking terror into
the hearts thoe Germans in battle and yet
knowing of his mother being stripped before
thousands Of Mississippi roughnecks, tarred,
feathered and then driven out of town, and
that soldier yielding his last drop of blood
to protect the flag and you have some
slight idea of what it costs a black man to
be patriotic What man has more right to be
a full-fedged American than such a black
man. The above is not an exact quotation
of Mrs. Nettie j. Asberry of Tacoma, but
is in substance and to us it seems to hit
the nail squarely on the head.

EVERYBODY

Don't waste-time, money, food or any
thing Remember that every dollar spent
unnecessarily takes somebody's time, some
body's labor, somebody's materials which
Uncle Sam can use. 1t makes no difference
how much money you have in your pockets.
It IS not the price that counts. There IS
just so much of everything useful-food,
cloth, leather and metals, just to mention
few items-and Uncle Sam needs it all.
Put your spare money into Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps. You will be help
ing the Government to help the boys at the
front-and you II be better off later on.
Stick to your job. Shifting at this time
dislocates industry, wastes time and money
and does you harm in the long run. Only
when Uncle Sam calls have you the moral
right to throw over the task in hand Don't
slack and don't get extravagant because
you are earning more than formerly. Re-
member the man Over There. Uncle Sam
can't keep him supplied as he should be
with food, ammunition and equipment if you
are not more economical than ever.

NOT A VIGILANT COMMITTEE

The vigilance of the members of the Ma
tional Association for the Advancement of
Colored People in protecting the rights Of
the colored Americans is so commendable
that they should go to the head for par
excellent work, but to my mind there is more
to do than to walk around with chip on
your shoulder looking for trouble to serve
the colored man best. If the black man is
advanced in the good things in life there
will not be so much call for fighting for his
social and political rights. Hundreds and
perhaps thousands Of colored families have
recently come to Seattle as to most every
other city of any size in the North, East
and West and if the Association would do
it's whole duty it would use it's influence
with these people to get homes, 60 into
business and seek gainful occupations and
thus become good citizens in name and ma
ture It's not nearly so hard for good

citizen to get his rights here or anywhere
else as it is for an undesirable citizen. The
advancement Of the colored citizens to my
mind has for it's object their advancement
mentally and morally and only in the manly
art when it is absolutely necessary briefly
remarks the Rev. Barber, pastor Of the Grace
Presbyterian Church Of this city, to which
we say amen During the life of Cayton
Weekly it has hammered away on this idea
and it welcomes so able convert to the
cause Ninety per cent of the colored fam
lies are able to own a home and if they do
not it's due to slothfulness and it's the I'M
qualified duty of the Seattle branch of the
National Association to make some effort
to quicken their interest in getting a home
while getting is good.

President Wilson Will Not Stand
for Actions of False Officials in

Every federal official holding position of any consequence

to go large by United States Marshal Roy Jones although
the United States commissioner advised him that his bond
had been approved and that Mann was to be taken into
custody United States Attorney McCear has told people
Boise there frameup against Manu. and is all ID
foolshness' thereby showing his (NcClears) sympathy.
Marns confession itself and the adavs of many reputable
citizens of Idaho show that Mann arrested solely because
of his reasonable utterances and actions.
Why was he allowed to at large? Why is the United
States district attorney of Idaho interested in this traitor
John Smead deputy u S. district attorney for Idaho
insulting in his toward government witnesses in the
Mann case including Mr. Crambett whose Frank gave
his life for his country France Smead talked about poll
tics. Great God What manner of man is it who will mix
politics in such case? There will be day of reckoning
when take my in the u S. senate if not before will
demand investigation of these federal officials in Idaho al
though the indications that President Wilson will inst
investigation before can be seated and punish these
false officials Notwithstanding any senatorial influence that
may be exerted in their behalf
