Be Sure to Vote

The polls remain open till 8 p. m. You have plenty of
time to vote. With the aid of voting machines in nearly
every precinct, the voting process is cut down to a mini
mum of time. AS an American citizen, your duty today,
If you are registered. must not be neglected.
This city must be steered safely, for the benefit of
the majority of the people, in true American fashion.
This is a government where the ballot rules, there
fore, let not your ballot go to waste.
Three councilmen, who have given this city service
thru many years, are up for reelection.
G. b. Fitzgerald, councilman since 1914, head Of the
finance committee, has been eminently fair in his service.
Possessed OF vigor, strength and ability, he is entitled to
denomination and reelection.
William Hickman Moore has been mayor of Seattle,
judge of the superior court, and state senator before he
was elected to the council. His qualifications are well
known.
r. II. Thomson, councilman for the past three years,
is an expert engineer. AS city engineer for 10 years, he
achieved national reputation.

ably IN the hope that 81. Peter 1CiH mistake him for

Too Much Politics

The next congress. if let alone. will do more investi-
eating than legislating. There are national problems that
are crying for solution. but there is no indication that con-
gTess is giving any thought TO the subject. They are con-
tent with a policy of drift.
Almost any republican or anti-Wilson democratic poll
tician will tell you with enthusiasm that at last they are
going to be in a position to investigate this. that and the
other thing. Bill Jones once worked a week in a shipyard
and says there is something wrong at such and such a
plant Let's investigated 81 Splevins was in France as a
"Y' worker. He says our boys were simply sacrificed at
st. Mihiel. Let's investigated This is no exaggeration.
Among the things that will probably come under in
vestigation in the next congress are the following:
Various angles of the war game in France as conducted
by American commanders.
Ammunition making.
Ordnance manufacture.
Housing projects.
War risk bureau.
Army promotions.
There is believed to be meat in this for the presiden-
tial campaign. If a fishing expedition can be organized,
there is chance the American people will be led into think
ing about extravaganza and waste. The president and his
party can be piloried. An appeal can be made TO all
dissatisfied elements.
And it's safel You don't ALLEVIATE any interests.
On the other hand, to tackle the great domestic prob
lens is fraught with campaign danger. For instance, here
are the things that are pressing for solution:
The future Of railroad management.
The future of the ships the nation owns.
The labor disputes problem.
The predoninance the five big packers have in the
American food world.
A decent tax schedule that will place the burden Of
paying for the war-by retirement Of bonds-where it be-
longs: On the shoulders of those best able to pay, rather
than those least able to dodge.

the selection. Often they choose with

worrying too much over ultra-fashion-

in the fur world only too willingly ad-
nit that the value of the skin and its
careful manipulation are the primary
essentials for a successful garment

selling particular furS they do not rec

Three things are important In select

looking skin; secondly, select a beeon-

ton. Il is especially important in the
