Mrs. w. p. Harper, now a member of the school board,
is entitled to reelection.
An able, conscientious woman, she has given excellent
service. Her viewpoint. moreover, is attuned to present
day conditions. Her vote has been recorded in favor of
equal pay for equal service.
Happily, her opponent, w. j. Santmver, engineer of
the Seattle Electric Co, is also in favor of this principle.
SO there is really no controversy between them on at least
this issue.
All things considered, Mrs. w. p. Harper is entitled
to reelection because of her undisputed qualifications for
the position, and because her experience on the board this
year will make her more valuable TO the public next year.
For the three year term, Henry King, a local business
man, has no opposition. Mr.. King is a forward-looking
citizen, and should Mrs. Harper be elected, there would then
be three progressives on the board-Judge Winsor, Mrs.
Harper and Mr.. King-as opposed to the two members, T..
Shorrock and Nathan Eckstein, who have opposed equal
pay for teachers, regardless of sex.

are not.
As a rule. we want to be. not where we are, but some

1t is an irresistible force.
But it needn't make you or your neighbor do anything
