Dear Miss Grey: In read
ing the ninth article by Prof.
Adams on why We Are at
War With Germany" it occurs
to me that about the most
common of his classified trail
tors are our American bust
ness men who used to be able
to get along very well on from
rs to 35 per cent profit; but
do not seem to be satisfied
with from 7. to 100 per cent.
Can you imagine anything
more absurd than a store that
buys potatoes at $40 deliv-
cred and sells at $3.50; gets
pork at 20 cents, and sells at
35 to so cents; beef at IA "
cents and sells from 25 to 40
cents, and then puts sign in
the window do Your Bit;
Don't Kick"
Did you ever stop to think
how many more Liberty bonds
the working man could buy IL
he were not legally robbed by
these food hogs who spend a
goodly share of these excess
profits on gas machines and
other Injuries?
The laboring people are the
ones who know what real
sacrifice means. Let Mr.. Hoo
yer protect the consumer and
you will have no trouble get
ting every Liberty loan over
subscribed.
Put those food profiteers
where they belong. They would
look good in a German in
ternment camp, making small
rocks out of big ones. l think
they are really the most eff
fective class of traitors we
have, so let's all get busy and
"Kick-Do Your Bit" That is
the only way we can bring it
home to them. H. H. ].

something good-and sometimes
bad-that never expected to

And here / am listening to
these men talk, | thought, listen
ing to speeches that never
dreamed could be formed by the
tongue of either. Donna Tenny
told me once that men Ed much
more sentiment than women, and
l believe they have. Most women
mistake sentimentality for senti-
ment.
I was really very glad that I
had overheard Dick say those
things to Jim, for it confirmed
me in my suspicious that Dick had
for some time realized the fact
that he had sold his birthright
for a mess of pottage.
Jim left here and Dick walked
out thru the grounds with him.

not help making some comparison,
which made me anxious for Dick s.
health. Jim was SO stalwart,
tsraight and alert and looked the
personification of pep" beside
poor old Dick, who was some
what bent at the shoulders and
who looked thinner than ever.

I said to myself.

A Valuable Asset

c. M. Riddell, if elected, will bring valuable
characteristic about which not great deal has yet
been said, to the mayors office. That is an uncanny
ability to get along with people.
When city attorney, for example, he was an APP
pointee of mayor under the old charter, who was
bitterly opposed by the majority group of the city
council. Yet E. |. Salmson, then president of the
council; L. L. Dohd, one of its ranking members,
and others who in the group opposing that
mayor, testify to the fairness with which they were
treated by the then city attorney His legal rulings
made without bias, they say, and his official
acts were those of man who wanted to serve the
public rather than play petty politics.
Clients of Mr.. Riddell testify that in many cases
he has dissuaaed them from litigating some case
and has brought them and their enemies together
and conciliated their differences rather than see
thin fight bitter court battles.
Tacoma has had entirely too much strife and
wranglng in its city hall and in its public life gen.
orally for it's own good. A man who can accomplish
desired aims with harmony is much to be desired.
The Times urges vote for c. M. Riddell.

s'Idlers," says Henry Ford, "caused the war
idlers of so-called royalty, who made others obey
Them and capitalistic iders, who made fortunes
and sought greater fortunes by forcing others to do
their bidding. But, work will beat them all! The
mechanism turned out by our strong, intelligent
wage eaners will triumph over the idlers.
Henry's right 1t is battle between those who
work intelligenty and those who idle brutally 1t,
moreover, is a truth set forth by one who knows.
Mr. Ford is capitalist and about near royalty
as anyone can get in our democracy. In addition,
he is doing more perhaps, than any other individual
in the country to produce mechanical war contri-
Nances.

Jim growled out something
which l did not catch, as Dick
said he had disappointed me. but
Dick continued, land now while
