comes of vital Importance to us
that we vote for a mac for mayor
who knows what to do and how to
do it. We should vote for a man
who is capable, honest, fair in all
things, and perhaps, above all else,
man who keeps his promises.
The mayor should be man who
represents all the people and not a
special group.
True, the Mayor does not serve
alone in the most responsible posi-
ton. The Councilmen constitute
the legislative branch of the gov
eminent, and make the laws which
the mayor is charged with admin
istering and executing. The Coun-
Gil confirms the appointments of
the Mayor, and thus is jointly re-
sponsible for fair administration of
the laws which the body enacts.
The councilmen should be men of
capacity and integrity, and their
purpose should be to serve all the
people and not a select group.
This brief consideration of city
problems brings us to the question:
Why we should not re-elect our
present mayor for another term at
81, 800 per year. First, During the
years 1884 and 1885 the Masonic
Grand Lodge of Washington held
its annual conventions in Seattle.
Mayor Smith was invited to well
come the City's guests, on each oc-
casion, but he flagrantly ignored
the invitation and gave no excuse
for his apparently intentional
slight. (Of course, the Masons who
came to the city were colored).
Second, In laying off men in the
different departments, including
the Street Department, the Park
Department, the Building Depart
ment, and the Library, our group
was called on to give us the first
men to be laid off, and the largest
percentage of men-by far, to be
put out on the street Third, Num-
bers of our group took the exam
nation under civil service for the
position Of janitor, typist, cooks,
clerks, several positions being OPP
en-. Some of these men were ex-
service men with good records,
others had followed the vocations
all their mature lives. Not one
passed high enough to get a call
to the payroll of the city! Just
what qualifications does one have
to possess to pass the examination
for a janitor, if he has followed the
work all his life-and yet happens
to be colored?
Fourth, The yurlber Of men en-
ployed at the comfort stations OPP
Grated by the city has been cut
frol4l seven to three and one-half,
and ,the smaller number working
eleven hours per day--with no re-
lief during the lunch hour. But,
on the other side, those employed
in comfort stations work only eight
hours per day, as provided in the

city laws. The City Charter and
the State law both provide for the
eight-hour day in city positions.
So it should not be difficult for
us lG see the necessity of awaken
ing to the need of an impartial Ci-
vii Service Commission named by
the Mayor, of course. And, it is
important to us as citizens Of the
community that we vote not for
the retention of the present mayor,
but for a man who will see to it
that only fair and capable men be
given the control of the several de-
partments, and that the persons
named to the Civil Service Com
mission shall be broad-minded and
courageous, determined to enforce
the laws alike against or in favor
of every citizen, with no drawing
of the color line.
BY all means let's go to the polls
next Tuesday and vote for our own
interests and the welfare of Seat
tie in the years to come.

You will be amazed at the surprisingly low cost of remodeing your home and installing few modern, up-to-date improvements which will add greatly to the appearance of that home. There are so many things which can be inexpensively done that it is worth the time of every home own CT to investigate the remodeling possibilities of his or her home. And, of course, the usual in- provements such as new roofs, repainting, inter- for decorating, new floors, new porches, etc., are well worth the sincere consideration of local home owners at this time. Our experienced estimators are at your disposal. They will gladly give sug- gestions to assist you in planning the repairs or improvements you would like for your home. It obligates you in manner to talk your particular problem over with them.

No definite date was given, however, and by the time the pro- ject is resumed the men will have been out of work four weeks.
 In connection with local WPA activities, it was stated at the de- partment of welfare this morning members of the stan had been sending qualified men to jobs on the WPA. In all there will be 100 place. ments made. Twelve women had been assibned to the local sewing project,
