Even on the street you can show
your breeding. Try not to become
SO absorbed in conversation with
the person or persons with whom
you are walking that you do not
know others may be near who wish
to pass you. Give them room on
the sidewalk so that they are not
compelled either to push against
you or to step off the walk in order
to pass you.

Prosecutor Claims
Opponents Misleading

With his election campaign NOV
ing into faster gear this week,
Prosecuting Attorney B. Gray
Warner in speeches throughout the
county branded his principle op-
position as organized fanaticism
misleading voters with bugaboos,
exaggerations and misrepresenta-
TONS"
Promising to expose the mo-
tiyes and intrigues of special inter
ests plotting to elect a Republican
prosecuting attorney" Warner
said:
when the voters have time to
look into my record thoroughly
and without hysterical prejudice
which certain elements aim to ex-
cite, they will find that my record
i. some respects is the best in the
history of the Prosecutors office"
Warner supporters, this week
augmented by widely representa-
tive organization of small business
and professional people, pointed to
national recognition received by
Warner for outstanding accom-
plishments in OFFICE.
These include his effective cam
paign against Juvenile Crime and
Modernized Program of Rehabi-
litation. Warmers booklet and pro-
gram on Youth Crime has been in
demand in every State in the I'm
10. Nearly 100000 copies have
been distributed locally by church,
civic and other organizations.
Warner recently pioneered (for
the entire U.S.) the successful use
of finger prints in prosecuting
Habitual Criminals, saving tax
payers $500 to $4,000 in each of
such cases, greatly increasing the
number of convictions, and serving
as a great crime deterrent.

The Little World Series of the
Puget Sound League got underway
last Sunday without the usual
munching of popcorn or peanuts,
or an occasionally thrown pop bot
tie accidentally aimed at the UNI
pire.
Pacific Fruit, a new and inspir-
ed team, won the first game of the
championship series two out of
three games from the American
Colored Giants by the score of z
to 2. The Giants played good ball
despite several errors which scored
a couple of the Pacific Fruits runs
Al Aries pitching was the talk of
the game as he stopped two of the
Giants rallies, weakening a little
during the third in which the Gil
ants collected their two runs. Da-
vey Williams and Brennan King
were nipped for quite a few hits,
while Babe Wilson gathered him
self three hits for the Giants. With
one loss against them, the Giants
are out to even up the score next
Sunday and boy, oh boy! you can
bet your boots that third game will
be a jam up affair with both teams
out to play It'll the last man is out.

II. c. Agnew Desires
Seattle "Off the Spot

Declaring that Seattle, and not
just Seattle's labor unions, are ION
the spot" nationally, Henry Clay
Agnew, Republican candidate for
King County Prosecuting Attor-
ney, is making an aggressive ra-
dio-newspaper campaign for NOM
nation in the primaries on the
promise that he can correct that
situation.
"Seattle's future is too bright
fundamentally" contends Agnew,
ito permit itself to stay on the ma
TONS black list because of failure
in the Prosecutors office to cor
rect evils which are fully covered
by State Laws, some of which date
back to the first legislation enact
ed by the State in anticipation of
just such conditions"
Fearlessly declaring himself to
be against all forms of racketeer-
ing, whether labor, business, or po-
litical, Mr.. AgneW has devoted his
radio talks to specific causes for
the charge that Seattle is racket
ridden and specific promises for
the correction of these evils within
laws which have long since been
or the statute books of the State.
No law-abiding laboring- man,
business man, or public-office hold
err has anything to fear if you no.
inmate and elect me as Prosecut-
ing Attorney" states candidate
Agnew, "but I do promise that if
you will have the courage to vote
for me, will have the courage to
prosecute racketeers and restore
to national confidence, the city of
Seattle and King County"
Mr.. Agnew would bring to King
County's trials his widely recogniz-
ed experience as a trial lawyer for
the past twenty years. He prom
ises every citizen, regardless of
color or creed, a fair and impart-
ial administration, and both labor
and employer are assured of fair
play from his office if he is elected.

ALI Set To Go

In an ideal picnic grounds, with
a program of sports which should
delight everyone, a list of prizes
which should make every event
worth your competition, and other
features of arrangements and de-
tails complete, the first annual pic
mic and barbecue of Lewis Ford
Post No. 289, VIEW, on Monday,
August 90, bids fair to be the best
event of the season.
The program of sports in charge
of the recreational directors, Roy
Harvey, Ralph Jones and William
Hyatt, will run off the various ev-
ents and keep the crowd busy dur
ing the afternoon. Local business
men have contributed fine group
of prizes, and everyone is invited
to participate.
Roy Sheffield will act as Master
of Ceremonies during the evening,
and will stage some special fea-
lures of entertainment to the de-
light of everyone. Refreshments
are in charge of Comm. A. R. Ba-
ker, who promises an ample sup
ply of Southern Barbecue, coffee,
hot dogs, and many good things to
go with them.
Nothing should keep you away
from this grand affair. You'll miss
good time if you don't come on
Monday, August 20, to Cottonwood
Grove, on Maple Valley Highway,
just one-half mile from Renton.
Admission is only fifty cents.
Lest we forget, Lewis Ford Post
has members that have served in
all wars of the United States since
the Sioux Campaign that ended
with the capture of Sitting Bull.
Others have served in two or three
wars. We are now engaged in a
war greater than all those of the
past, viz: To protect our nation
from outside subversive agrees
sion, to better living conditions,
and to help the youth of our coun-
try to find their rightful places,
religiously, economically, and So
cially.

In Missouri there IS little town
of about $500 people by the name
of st. Mary's. There exists there
an understanding between the Ne
groes and the whites, that the for
mer are to live outside the limits
of the town, and are to come into
the town during certain hours on
ly on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Such condition in an American
city is a disgrace to an honest ira
dition of equality, but even more
than that, it is stain on a min
GRITTY that allows itself to be vic
timized and acquiesces therein.
In Germany, at least, the Jews
can give a valid reason for not
striking back. OF course there are
those among us who feel that the
German Jews should militantly
fight for equality by force of arms,
but even if they do not and bide
their time, at least they can excuse
themselves by the fact that their
plight has continued only since
1888, and by the further fact that
an attack upon the status quo will
result in either death or imprison-
ment in concentration camp.
But in America the Negro finds
himself in far different category.
In the first place he has been held
in an inferior position for over $50
years, and in the second place, we
are not governed by dictatorship,
ad an attack upon governmental
authorities, especially under the
current liberal and friendly admin
istration, is not, ipso facto, high
treason.
There is no excuse for a spine
less acquiescence. 1 have just come
back from the South, and in the
States of Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi, I have seen with my
own eyes the most abysmal kind of
racial discrimination that can ex-
list anywhere. The condition in
America today presents a great
living challenge to a thinking
Negro who wants to look at the
sky instead of the ground.

Realizing that every home own
er in the County is vitality interest
ed in taxes on the various proper
ties in Seattle and King County,
Geo. w. Blanchard has offered
himself as a candidate for County
Assessor
The purpose of the office of AS
SCISSOR IS to equalize the assessed
valuation of all taxable property.
This is vitality important to every
man, woman and child in the coun-
ty, as upon the honesty and ability
of this office depends the valuation
of your property and consequently
the amount of your taxes. 1t is
apparent that the selection of AS
SCISSOR should command your most
strict attention and interest.
Blanchard is one of the best
known citizens of King County.
Ills l1lOlSdlluS VI CllLluSldoIiC ouP
porters express the staunch belief
that his election would bring a
wealth of practical business exper-
fence and a wide knowledge of
realty and personal property va
lues to the assessorship.
They point to his exceptional re-
cord of over 80 years as a business
man, fraternal leader and a pub
lic-spirited citizen of King County
as indicative of his honesty and
ability. Although Blanchard has
never held public office, his vast
popularity and reputation for eff
cheney is well attested to by the
fact that two years ago as the Re-
publican nominee for state auditor
he polled $4,000 votes in King
County alone.
