PAGE MIR. JONAH

The strangest experience in So
years of steamboat navigation in
Puget Sound waters, came to Cap
tain VIM. P. Thornton, operator of
the Seabeck-Brinnon Ferry, re-
Gently, and we present "fish
story" comparable to the tale Of
Jonah.
Leaving the pier at Brinnon and
heading across Hood Canal, the
Captain was attracted to an unus-
ual spectacle, likened to gigan-
tic submarine drive-for in perfect
battle formation "a squadron of
seeming periscopes were cutting
the water into foam, and heading
his way. This strange scene in
reality became great school of
Black Fish, the fastest members
of the whale family-whose dorsal
fins were skimming along the sur
face toward the ferry. Turning the
boat directly into their course,
there followed an unexpected thrill
as the impact with this great
school, estimated at between 20
anad 30 in number, each ranging
from Is to 25 feet in length, oc-
CURED and is described, even by
this seasoned Captain, "as Sc
we're as hitting a mountain" For
about a minute water and spray
was sent 80 feet into the air and
the churning below, could not
have been more active with 30
spinning propellers," as these
massive creatures whipped the wa
ters in their mad escape.
After the attendant confusion,
no sight could be had of these dem
liens of the deep and it is believ-
ed that this school-so uncommon
in the canal watershed come in
from the Straits in pursuit of an
early run of Steel Head.

NATURE, SUPREME ARTIST

The art lovers go through the picture gal
leries, and they praise the great master
pieces of painting for their beautiful colors.
One of the chief merits of such paintings was
the ability of the artist to take ordinary
paint and put it on canvas in such beautiful
form that the world stands in breathless ad-
miration.
But the best of those colors are no more
beautiful than the painting that nature does
in her fields. The red of an apple, the yel-
low of lemon, the purple of grape, the
brilliant hues of autumn foliage, are as beau
tiful as the colors of the finest painter
We do not have to travel to distant art
galleries to see this superb color. 1t is found
In our back yards, along the plainest road, in
the fruit stands. If people had to pay great
sums to see beautiful scene of autumnal
color, how many of them would rush to do
it? ~=.s. 2 ~

NEW THINGS TO DISCOVER

The observance of Columbus Day, Oct
ober IL, celebrates what was probably the
greatest deed of discovery in the history OF
the world. The question may well be asked,
what is there left now for people to discover?
One great change which time has brot
has been the exploration and occupation OF
the habitable globe. Formerly the existence
of wild and unexplored territory left plenty
of opportunity for energy and ambition. If
they had business depressions back in Col
umbus' day and people had no work, they
could strike off in new country and support
themselves from the soil.
This condition prevailed in this country
to partial extent until a recent date. While
all our territory has been explored for many
years, yet there was until a comparatively re-
cent time plenty Of cheap and unused land
which people could obtain and utilize. There
was always an opportunity for pair of will
ing hands.
Today our country is not merely all dis
covered, but mostly occupied and utilized. Yet
there are plenty of things to discover right
around home. We can discover new ways to
make living, new ways to serve the people.
new methods of reducing production costs,
new applications of science to daily life, new
plans for social cooperation.
IF Christopher Columbus were alive to-
day, he would not sit around grieving because
there are no more continents to discover. He
would discover new things in daily life, and
through them win fame and fortune

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Fire Prevention Week should occasion
more than perfunctory interest. The nation
al fire loss is nearly $5O0,00O,OOo annually.
1t has been pointed out-and the idea is
worthy that fire prevention should carry
through the whole year, and that it should
not be confined to single week. This will be
admitted by everyone. But it cannot be said
that Fire Prevention Week is useless UNI
dertaking, devoid of public benefit.
A great deal of valuable publicity is CIV
en- the cause of fire prevention during these
annual observances. And there is no doubt
that, from an educational standpoint alone,
they are well worth while.
If the citizens of this state heed the
lessons of the next few days, care, common
sense and discretion may be put in operation
with mutual advantage, during the ensuing
81 weeks.

COP. TO. STRESS
PRINCIPLES FIRST

The Republican state committee
will make no compromise on prin-
ciple to elect any of its candidates.
None of the Congressional nomi-
nees will do any trading in their
own behalf nor will any secret bar
gaining be attempted for any por-
tion of the ticket.
This policy was agreed upon at
the Republican state committees
organization meeting in Seattle
last Saturday. J. N. Emerson of
Pullman was elected chairman and
Mrs. Ellis DeBruler of Seattle,
choice of the committeewomen,
was chosen vice chairman. Head
quarters are located in Seattle and
at Emerson's suggestion the party
agreed to make an aggressive cam
paign through intensive organiza-
ton, and barrage of speech-mak-
ing in all sections of the state. But
speakers will be warned to put all
their emphasis on the party's pro-
gram, explaining that the nominees
are pledged to carry it out.
81 have said from the first that
I did not wish to win at the ex-
pense of the principles involved in
this campaign" said Reno Odlin,
senatorial nominee, when he adj
dressed the committeeman. IT have
said that whether or not / am
elected is not vital to the people Of
the United States, but the preser-
walton Of the principles upon which
this government was founded and
builded to become the greatest ma
ton in the world is vital issue.
Foreign experiments threaten the
wrecking of the best system Of
government ever devised by man
and this the Republican party is
pledged to prevent. I have no fear
Of the outcome. The people will
learn that this is a fight between
q progressive forward-looking Re-
publicanism against the radical
left wing Of the Democratic party
and our ticket will be victorious.
To that end I dedicate my serv-
ices"
Congressional nominees Bert C..
Ross of Seattle, Payson Peterson
of Snohomish, and Emery Ashbury
of Tacoma, spoke in similar vein.
The meeting was exceptionally well
attended.
M. M. Moulton, state committee
man from Benton county and Mrs.
Ruth Heniken, both of Kennewick,
were present at the state conven-
ton Saturday.

TEMPERANCE NEEDED

The eighteenth amendment came into ex-
istence because the American public believed
that no step was too drastic to outlaw the
evils that had appeared in the liquor prob
lem. Millions of thinking American citizens
who were not "dry" in the sense of believing
it crime to take drink, had seen the pow
er of the saloon appear in politics, degrading
city and state government, and had watched
intrenched interests successfully violate both
the letter and spirit of the laws that then ex-
Used to control the sale of liquor.
The eighteenth amendment was repeal
ed by this same thinking public when it be
came apparent that the evils existing before
were magnified, rather than lessened The
ends of temperance were not served, the
gangster came into his glory, and million
dollar bootleggers became as politically pow
erful as their legal predecessors had in the
old days.
Today the American people want tenn
perance. They want the liquor traffic to be
adequately controlled. They will not again
countenance any illicit alliance between gov
eminent and liquor interests. We are pass
ing thru an experimental period-and if pres
emit laws are inadequate, other and harsher
measures will be brought into play.
To promote temperance which means
the elimination of drunkenness and license
lis the duty of every citizen. It is likewise
the duty of those who make and sell liquor
lin addition, it is simply good business 80
far as they are concerned. The American
people are not fanatical either for or against
liquor per sc. They are interested in elimi-
mating abuses of the present as well as of the
past, and they intend to succeed.

THE CHANGES OF FOOTBALL

One hundred thousand boys more or less,
put on their padded football clothes about
now, and go out on the school and college
football fields to see what they can do on
bucking the line. They never worry about
any real or supposed dangers. Youth cher
ishes vision of applauding grand stands,
but it never visualizes the hospital cot or a
broken leg.
Parents watch the tussle of the grimly
gladiators in the dirt and mud. They won
der if Tom or Jack is going to emerge from
that melee with the same number of work
able arms and legs as those he took into the
fight.
If we could take 1000 football players,
and compare their physical and mental con-
dition five years from today with 1000 who
do not play this game, which crowd would
show the better physical and mental develop
ment? Probably few of those footballists
would have suffered some severe accident,
there is a remote chance that one of them
might have lost his life. But as a whole they
would be a powerful crowd physically, able
to stand the shocks and strains of life. And
they would be a healthy crowd mentally, not
much touched by the vices of the time.
1t is not probable that we could say as
much for the 100 non-players. Those that
have not gone in for any strenuous athletic
sport would include many physical weak
nesses. Many of them, as the result of the
lack Of occupation for idle time, would have
acquired harmful vices or pernicious ideas.

YOUR DOLLARS WORTH

Take dollar out of your pocket, it's yours
you can do anything you like with it. But
you can't buy dollars worth of commodities
or services. -. z'~~ . 49,.
The reason for that is that about Is
percent of your dollar has to 60 to govern
ment If you use it to buy theatre tickets,
gasoline, cigarettes, electricity, clothing or
anything else, rs percent of the COST on the
average will represent taxes.
The main reason we have allowed the tax
problem to grow so grave in this country is
that millions Of people haven't realized that
such problem exists! These are the people
who pay no taxes directly. Their incomes are
below the level touched by the income tax.
They rent homes. They do not own busi-
ness, but work for someone else. And the re-
suit is belief that those who own buis-
nesses, have larger incomes, and possess
property pay all the taxes.
There aren't enough large-income peo-
pie in the country to make a dent in meeting
the cost of government. The great bulk of
taxes are taken from the ordinary person
and they are taken indirectly. Instead of
writing the tax collector a check, most of our
citizens pay their taxes unknoWingly during
the course of daily living. Rent is higher
than it would be, because the landlord must
pay taxes. Salaries are smaller, because the
employer is heavily taxed. Food is more
costly, because the farmer, the professor, the
transporter and the final seller are all taxed.
So it goes, through everything we need and
use.
Don't be fooled Everyone pays taxes
everyone is in danger of being forced to
pay more A reduction in taxation through
less tax spending is essential.

ton results twice since the present
method of electing President and Vice
President went into effect, in 1904. In
1876 Tilden would have been elected
instead of Hayes and in 1888 Cleve-
land instead Of Benjamin Harrison.
The following Presidents received only
a plurality of the popular vote: Polk
in 1874. Taylor in 1848, Buchanan in
1856, Lincoln in 1860, Garfield in
1880, Cleveland in 1884, Cleveland in
1892, Wilson in 1912 and Wilson in
1916. In 1924 no candidate received
a majority of the electoral votes.

1924

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The fact that our Nation is spend
ing thirteen billions year in fighting
crime tells story of the activity Of
sin. There is organized crime which
makes it mighty force in the world
but the power for good is equally
powerful if exerted by those of us
who are interested in the cause of
Righteousness.
BY united effort our ancestors
though comparatively few in numbers
and unprepared for conflict, fought
for freedom, having the consciousness
that their cause was just. They we're
aroused by such patriots as Samuel
Adams and Patrick Henry, and many
sacrificed their lives and fortunes that
this country might have justice and
chance to expand.
We have had a stable government
for almost century and a half, and
have become powerful Nation with
rich resources. As loyal descendants
of those men who established our
beloved country. let us now unite
against a common foe and fight
against crime. In an article on
Crime" published June, 1882 Gen
Pershing said:
Make no mistake about this: Our
Nation is confronted by crisis as
serious as the crisis of war"
\ X
When war is being fought we do
not depend alone upon the police
force and standing Army, but citizens
are called upon to enlist and to do
their part in various ways. Therefore
in the war against crime we have our
individual duty to perform as we
unite against a common foe.
