KATE SADIER'S REGREAT.

''1nstead Of spending what money | had
getting bond for my husband, l now sore
ly regret that l did not put it up to insure
the continuance of the DAILY CALL" rather
doggedly declared Kate Sadler in a public
address last Sunday. So strongly rooted in
the power Of the press in the advocacy of a
cause is this woman that she was willing to
see the daily paper, the organ Of the cause
she was talking, for and for which her hus-
band had been convicted Of heinous crime,
fail Nothing in our present civilization so
completely wields public opinion as the press
and though the cause may be against So
cety, as in the cause Mrs. Sadler is advocat-
ing, yet with strong publication at it's back
championing it's ideas the opponents thereof
are forced to set up and take notice. No
cause, doctrine or crusade will make much
headway preselyting unless it has strong
publication to spread it's propaganda. Every
distinct religious or political body or organ
ization in the United States has newspaper
to disseminate it's ideas. The press is the
next thing to the organization and every
true believer of the cult is not only sup
porter of the publication but likewise a
booster.
1t is cOnserYatively estimated that there
are twelve million colored persons in this
country and yet there is not weekly pa
per that is national in it's scope that is pub
lished in their interest and if there were it
would not be supported by colored persons
There are three or four weekly papers pub
lished in the interest of the colored folks
that have quite circulation, but those pub
hcations are not papers Of uplift and edu-
cation, but papers Of society personals.
Think about buying paper published in the
East or Middle West with eight pages of
personals from different communities, towns
and cities and not to exceed a half page of
editorials and nothing pertaining to indus
tries, science, literature or art Colored
publishers, like electricity travel along the
lines Of least resistance, hence they put out
publications full and overfowing with per-
sonal buncom because it makes the paper
sell better Perish the thought of a colored
man sacrificing anything in order to guar
antee the success of local publication in
his interests. No, not even to discontinuing
is subscription to one Of the daily papers
% his community, that never contains any
tim" but abuse and humiliation about color
e. f"l'-s and for which from SO to $12 per
year is paid, to subscribe for one or two
r0oer'v papers, whose stock in trade is Ne
pro hetterment. Such publications need, and
to e~iSt necessarily must have strong SUD-
port We do not, however, argue that col

POLITICAL POINTERS.

In naming Judge Kenneth Macintosh for
the vacancy on the supreme court bench
Gov. Lister has named his first Republican
to office. He has often named near Repub-
icans, but, as we remember, never Re-
pubcans. May perhaps he had a selfish
motive in doing this, but lets give him the
benefit of the doubt and say he did so be-
cause Judge Macintosh was the most avail
able man, though rock ribbed Republican,
Kenneth Macintosh has reached the goal
Of his ambition, supreme court Judge.
Years ago he took an active interest in local
politics and always succeeded because even
the followers in different political faction
than the one he trained with made no fight
on him when he himself wanted something
All factions wanted him to go to Congress,
but he always rebelled and stuck to his text,
place on the supreme bench On the su-
periOr court bench of this state he has made
most admirable judge and we have no
doubt but that he will be equally successful
in his new fields of labor.
In our opinion more suitable and well
qualified man could not have been found
for the vacancy on the King county superior
court bench than Clay Allen and Gov Lister
showed a genuine lot of good horse sense in
naming Clay Allen instead of Wilmont
Tucker Judge Allen has made a most ex-
cellent U. S. district attorney for Seattle
and in our opinion the President overlooked
a bet when he failed to promptly name him
to succeed himself.
Thomas F. Murphine has been called from
the state service to that Of the city and is
now in the harness. For a number of years
Tom has only been a near Republican, but
he has ever been faithful public servant
He was twice a member Of the legislature of
this state and though not in tune with an
overwhelming ma jority Of the members of
that body, yet they always recognized him
as a man of ability and he was given COM
mlttee assignments commensurate with his
ability and experience. He has many friends
in all political parties.
A. L. Valentine, who has been removed
from office by Mayor Hanson, has had
long run for his money There is little
doubt but that he was first named for the
position at the behest Of j. c.. Ford of the
Pacific Coast Company, and in office, we
verify believe, he served his masters WE'LL

ENGINE DRIVER
BREAKS HIS LEG
Thrilling Experience Of Young Man
Alone on the Prairie

A young man named Mitchell. who
was driving a breaking engine south
west Of Miller four or five miles, had
a serious accident last Friday. While
HIS partner. Leonard, was absent, Mr..
Mitchell was driving his engine alone.
In reversing, his foot was caught in
a wheel and his leg was broken at the
ankle. He started to crawl to his auto
several rods away, but decided that he
could not make 1t. He then pulled
himself back onto his engine, and
drove 1t to the auto, which is a small
white How he started 1t and
then got into the car is a mystery
kown only to himself. But he did and
drove the a to DR.. Wallis Office In

remain for a time to heal his wound.

London that an extreme penetration
of two miles has been made.
The villages of Namptel and Nouv-
ron Vingre have been captured and
the French have reached the southern
edge OF the ravine at Audigncourt,
which is between Namptel and Nouv-
ron-vingre.
Since the situation along the Aisne
and the vesle and Picardy has seemed
to be approaching a deadlock, indicat-
ing a return to the old trench warfare
Of the first two years of the war, an
attack on the sector between the Aisne
and the Disc has been expected. This
sector is vital to the German positions
on both sides of 1t. II il should be
broken, the whole German defensive
scheme would be thrown out of joint.
Foch's Tactics
The success attained by the French
appears to point to a possibility OF
Marshal Foch breaking the enemy's
resistance by a flank attack instead Of
direct assault against the strong po-
sitions now held by the Germans be-
tween Scissors and Rheims and be-
tween the Disc and the Ancre
Along the Picardy battle front there
have been local actions in which 400
prisoners were taken by the French.
London reports that the French have
captured st. Mard and Beauvraignes,
near Roye, thus increasing the peril
OF that bastion of the German line
west Of the Somme.
Further north the British have pene-
trated the German positions near Ar
ras.
German attacks in Flanders have
been repulsed. In the Merville Sec
tor the British have made a new adj
vance, probably following. the Ger
mans, who have been retiring in this
part of the Lys salient for the last
week.
On The italian Front
Austrian efforts to regain the region
in the lower Piave, taken last week by
the Italian. have failed. In a counter
attack the Italians drove the enemy
back and took thirty-three prisoners.
In the mountain region the artillery .s
active.
The ridge captured by the British
yesterday. where the Germans counter
attacked last night and this morning
is now safely in British hands.

LIFE OF U-BOAT MEN
GUIDO FICTION
German Sub Oflcer Recognized I'm A
New York Saloon

Washington, Aug. 19.-Information
furnished by officers of vessels attack
ed by German submarines aleng the
American coast has strengthened the
belief held by several experienced Of
ficials here that the enemy raiders
have had communication with persons
on shore. and may wen have landed
members of their crews I'm an effort
to secure reliable information. The
navy department officially refused to-
night to endorse this belief, tho adj
hitting the possibility.
Positive claim that he met an Of
ficer from the submarine that sank
the schooner o. b. Jennings in a New
York saloon Is made by the first officer
OF that vessel, according to a story
reaching the department. The recog-
milton between the American and Ger
man is said to have been instantaneous
the latter making his escape when the
American appealed to a brother Of
ficer accompanying him for confirma-
ton of his belief.
Close Touch With Shore
other instances have been heard,
not so well substantiated. OF the dis
covery Of evidence that German sub
marines have been in close touch with
the shore. One story along this line
was that the captain OF a coast-wise
vessel, being ordered to the subma-
rine with his papers, was ~astounded
10 sec on the desk of the German COM
mander copies of New York dailies of
the same date.
Only One Sub nc Work
From authoritative sources 1t was
learned today that there is no rea-
son to believe that three submarines
have been operating on the Aemerican
coasts, at three separate points. Two
of these have recently ceased operat-
ing either because their stores have
become exhausted or as q result OF
damage received In contact with the
patrol fleets.
The German admiralty now has in
commission between 100 and 1870 sub
marines while the total number de-
stroyed by the allies has passed the
200 mark, according to'the most relia-
bic information available here.
Communication between the raiders
and the mainland is possible at scores
ef places along the Atlantic shore,
naval officials believe, because OF the
irr~egularity OF the coast at certain
points.
