Additional Editorial

No less authority than Edgar Allen
Poe says that the epigram is the lowest form Of
reason and literature What would he think of
political spellbinders who nightly burden the
air with political wisecracks?
Seattle women picketed the labor temple in
Seattle, Monday in protest against pcketing. On
Tuesday, women from all over the state Joined
with another group of them in demonstration at
Olympia asking Governor Martin to do some
thing about loosenng the strangle hold of organ
lied labor Oh Washington's metropolis, citing the
movement elsewhere of rural Washngtons crops.
May the women succeed in restoring the rights Of
the non-combatants and in upholding lawful and
orderly procedure in labor disputes.

This week sees the first of series of verses
by local poet, B. O. Clare. They are not pre-
tentious; just ordinary ideas expressed in a rath
er nice way. We hope you like them. They do
indicate rather exceptional ability at versifcation
on the part of the author. We like them.

We are pleased to note that White Bluffs
has and-the right kind of band, band
composed of Juveniles A local citizen, Frederick
English, donates his time, efforts, and consider
able money toward keeping this organization in
tact. Such rare, wherefore White
Bluffs is fortunate. These band boys are taught
music, and in very capable fashion, but they are
also taught their responsibility representatives
of this community when engaged at other cities.
They are taught collective decency- citizen
ship. It is true that they get some of the same
training at home and in the schools, but in those
places discipline is required Of them. LIN the band
it is suggested therefore effective in different
sense. Parents know that their boys are taking
a constructive interest in something worth WHILE
instead Of using their idle time in forming ques
tionable associations and habits. And they
know that the community will esteem these boys
for the service they render to the community
White Bluffs also has drum and bugle
corps for it's girls. The same line Of reasoning APP
plies. These organizations are planning Hal
]owe'en Ball to defray expenses which accrue for
equipment and maintenance. We bespeak for
them the hearty support Of all who are interested
in the worth while development of our youth and
of our community.
If Genius says authority, is merely the
suit of hard work. What a lot Of geniuses We'll
have here in White Bluffs!
This week marks the last installment of
"Early Days On The Columbia River" composed
of stray leaves from the diary of Ross Cox and
ranged by Rev. John Pate. This series of articles
has been of great interest to readers and is III
demand elsewhere. Rev. Pate must be compli-
mented on his work and readers must be
soed because the end of the series has arrived.
Cheer up, readers, for Rev Pate says that he will
still contribute articles of historical interest to the
Spokesman.
From until after election, politicians
will hold the spotlight. Present indications
that the national result will be i'll doubt right up to
election day. Washington is voting on Initiatives
and constitutional amendments. To vote intelli-
gently on them requires careful study. Many are
tricky, the drafters relying the carelessness of
the voter to gain their detectives. However, one
Initiative is repeater-tried and found satisfac
tory-and may be safely commended. That one
is Initiative No. ia, designed to continue the For
ty Mill Tax limitation real estate. None in
this section but knows it's value. Don't forget it.
