Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1919-03-22

state of Washington from now on will not
be looked upon so slightly as it has been
since the iniquitous Goss bill became law.
Who kills his fellow man in the state may
now stretch hemp. The Hon. Tinhorn Goss
must now feel like dirty copper cent.
Colony Kansas is catless town and prom
lses to remain So 1t gives as it's reason for
having divorced itself from the cats, the i'm
proved health conditions of the city and the
speedy departure of all of the old maids of
the clty-two most excellent justifcations
The West is said to favor Wilson s league
OF nations propaganda. Let s hope that this
is mistake or if it is not the majority can
be shown their mistake. It was us fellows
out West that reelected Wilson because che
kept us out of war; Let's not make Just
as bad break in 1920 as we did in 1916.
Of course the shipyard strikers of Seattle
were orderly and law abiding, as declared
Bob Bridges in Washington City last week,
but Bob failed to state what would have
happened in Seattle at the hands of the
shipyard strikers if there had not been
thirty thousand soldiers at Camp Lewis
ready to march to Seattle at any moment
From ten thousand population there are
but two colored students in the higher in
stitutions of the state of Washington, which
lead an influential white citizen to remark,
"When the colored people get an opportun
ity to attain the thing that will lift them
up then they suddenly discover that they
can get along without it, There should be
not less than one hundred colored students
in the higher institutions Of this state
During the winter just closing Seattle has
lost many of the men who laid the founda-
tlon for the greatness she now en- joys and
among the number the names of Thomas F..
Oakes and Frank W. Baker, both of whom
hav been laid to their final rest since the
last ssue of this paper, are to be found.
These men sowed the seed for Greater Sc
attic and then rested on their laurels to
watch her grow.
In electing w. D. Lane president of the
council it looks as if majority Of the mem
bers Of the council took advantage Of the
opportunity and kicked Mayor Hanson when
he was down. Cayton's Weekly, however,
would just as soon Lane to have been
elected as Fitzgerald, yea, it had no choice
in the matter, and using the words Of the
famous Ernest Hogan, "All coons Council
men) look alike to me- But Mayor Hanson
plead for man that would carry out his
policy and they gave him one that will bury
his policies. Such, however, are the for
tunes or war ana SICK JnOugn ne De Ole Will
have to take his medicine.
If the Allies set up the league Of nations
on the theory that Woodrow Wilson can
czar-ike say the word and the United States
will give it's unqualified approval then we
have our suspicious that they are counting
without their host. AS now understood, the
league of nations doctrine if taken to the
people for their approval would loose ten
to one Even Big Bill Taft could not save
it from ignominious defeat. This country
has awlays been constitutionally opposed to
mixing up in the quarrels of foreign coun-
tries and especially European countries, and
it will hardly digress from it's wonted GUS
tom one Woodrow Wilson to the contrary
Notwithstanding All Uncle Sam wants in
Europe now is to get out Of there
