from the '*po white trash'' of the South
and their lifelong TRADES against the col
ored man is the principal part Of their
religion and education. John Sharp Will
liams like Benz jamin r. Tillman, is dan
gerous demagogue and a no less public
criminal than Huerta Of Mexico. Today,

If any one got the impression from an
advertisement in this paper last week that
any one save Horace Roscoe Cayton has
anything to do with it's policy, then such
person or persons were never wrong.
Cayton's Weekly is Republican in politics
and has no intention of kicking out Of
the traces after the primaries, but before the
primary election it proposes to hand the
court house ring a whole armful of hot
stuff and you can bet your bottom dollar
your time is coming. It's costing more to
operate King County than it does Spokane,
Pierce and Multanomah (Oregon) counties
combined, which means somebody is getting
more than living salary for loafing about
that court house. purporting to be holding
clerkship and giving the taxpayers value
received for the princely salary they are
drawing down.

One of Uncle Sam s bravest Of the brave
young men fell to his death when Quentin
Roosevelt, a son of Theodore Roosevelt,
was shot in an encounter with the Huns in
an air battle last Wednesday. Of Quentin
it can be said without fear of successful
contradiction that he was chip off the old
block and all America had hoped he would
come through the bloody ordeal and return
to the land Of his birth and become as use
full to the country as has his illustrious
father His death is as lamentable as was
the death Of the late John Puroy Mitchell.
Just why Schwab and D. E. Skinner being
total strangers to each other, found it nee
essary to so lovingly embrace each other on
meeting the first time is a more or less
mooted question just now, but they did and
it strikes us very forcibly that there is a
''nigger in the wood pile.'' Skinner is
doing more government work than any 9th
er shipbuilder of the Pacific Coast. Schwab
is working for the government for one dol
lar per year Is it possible that things
have passed between these men that make
lifelong friends of them though total
strangers.
It begins to look very much like that
Bill Kaiser has been hooked and his ef-
forts for the past week to get away will
result in him wearing himself out and be
eventually drawn in. This week. s offensive
on the part of the Huns has proved an
absolutely failure, not only gained nothing,
but lost heavily. How different is this
last drive to former ones and if we read
the signs of the times correctly it means
the beginning of the end of this great
worldwide war. An offensive drive on the
part Of the Allies now seems the proper
thing.
It is highly gratifying to the citizens Of
the United States to note the splendid man
ner in which our soldiers over there are
acquitting themselves. At present the U.
S. soldiers in France number more than a
million and they are in action all down
the line and since they have been the tide
of war has turned in the Allies favor. Ap-
parently the troops of the Allies were tired
out and the same must be true of the Ger
