MRS. w. BOGLE. Edtor-Manager

Distinguished Californians
Visiting in Portland

Sergeant anS mrs. A. H. Wall,
prominent citizens of Oakland, Cali
fornia, have been interesting visitors
in our city for the last two months
as the house guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Johnson of East 2Sth Street,
North.
Due to the fact that Mrs. (Fannie)
Wall was very much in need of a
complete rest from her various club,
civic and philanthropic duties in the
Bay City, they have spent almost the
entire time at the beautiful eighty
acre ranch and country home of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Johnson, which is
situated thirty miles from Portland
on the Venonia Highway.
Mrs. Wall, who is one of the most
prominent club women on the Pacific
Coast, is also the founder of the Fam
ME Wall Childrens' Home and Day
Nursery of Oakland, of which she is
president and a life member of the
board of directors. This home is one
of the recognized institutions of Oak
land, and cares for number of chill
dren who live there permanently, be-
sides caring for dozens of tots during
the day whose mothers are employed
during the day time, and fills a great
need. Mrs. Wall has been treasurer
of the California State Federation for
nine years, and is also an active
member of the League of Women Vo-
tiers, besides being an active church
member.
Sergeant Wall, who accompanied
his wife to Portland, is also enjoying
needed rest after twenty years in
the Civil Service, from which he has
lust recently been retired. Prior to
his work in the Civil Service, Ser
geant Wall was retired from the u.
S. Military Service after thirty years
service as Principal Musician in the
Gath Infantry Band, and at this time
is enjoying two retirement pensions.
Mrs. Wall and Mrs. Johnson are
old friends of many years standing
and after a most enjoyable visit with
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson, Sergeant and
Mrs. Wall left for home Wednesday
night aboard the steamer, Admiral
Fiske.

Jury Acquits Men of
Andrew McCrae Death

Dispatches from Montesano state
that Alvin Schlegel and r. Lougheed
were acquitted Tuesday of premedi-
tated killing of an aged Negro, An
drew McCrae. From the attempt OF
the state to prove first degree muir
der by one lone witness against the
accused two it would appear that
no great effort has been made to
ascertain the truth.
The man was a Negro; aged, poor
and friendless. The accused are well
known about Montesano with plenty
of friends. The stories of Longheed
and Pearson, his brother-in-law,
conflicted with the states witness
version.
Louis Loris claimed they had the
Negro down on the ground kicking
and beating him. They claimed the
Negro fell down and tried to get out
knife.
Well, accidents will happen to
friendless black men at times and the
law is powerless in many such cases.

Hayes Wants New
Tacoma Editor

We welcome criticism of the Ia
coma page and any suggestions tend
ing to assist us to improve same, be
1t IN relation to editorials. news
matter or advertising.
The A. l.. Hayes article of last
week does not come within the afore-
mentioned category. An incoherent
tumble of long and involved sent
onces with disassCciated ideas can
not help US much. There is nothing
in the article that is related to any
thing appearing on the Tacoma page.
1t is extremely offensive, owing
to the personal nature of its refer
ences. In our humble opinion, Mr..
Hayes has disqualified himself to
criticize his successor as Tacoma edi-
tor. He was twice Tacoma editor and
each time allowed his personal feel
ings to get the better of him and re-
signed in fit of anger. But for this
there would have been no successor.
He cried and whined to US when
we took over the Tacoma page not
to use his name in that paper nor the
name of his family under any pre-
text whatever, charging mistreat-
ment at the hands of the owner, with
which we had nothing to do.
As an editor who saw the sun and
lived in the future" he was wrong
in dropping the good work. Had he
done a little judicious knocking"
and showed us some of that "sun" he
was seeing so much of in all prob
ability he would have encouraged
some of us to stay in business and
others to begin.
As it is, he sadly admits "true,
there are no business enterprises.
AS to what outsiders think-Tacoma
was berated by outsiders before we
came to the Sound and will be berat-
ed so years hence unless she i'm
proves.
There is no question, even among
our white peoples businesses, there
is some kicking about being a tail to
Seattle's kite all the time.
Wishing for new Tacoma editor
for this page is small thing. Why
not wish for something to amount
the Enterprise or other Tacoma af-
fairs. Why not wish for a whole Ia
coma page in the Enterprise? Or
better a Tacoma newspaper? Or
some good business? Hayes article
is just a sample of the things that
we are rebuking. Personal grudge
and spite work has been and now is
the thing that holds Tacoma back.
We have always hit at this spirit in
our citizens and will continue until
we stop writing. Articles that are
about actions, things, doings of a
public nature will be welcomed, even
if they criticize US, but getting even
with this one, that one or the other
one is poor policy on part of writers,
editors or others.
