When the President and
The King Talked
Sincerity Emphasized
With Simple Words
Like Gettysburg Address
And Twenty-Third Psalm
Raids" Make Old Timers
Wonder
NOW that the shouting and
the tumult have ceased and
the king and queen of Great
Britain are again in their own
dominion, some very interesting
sidelights appear in retrospect.
Commentators and editorial
writers continue to remark on
the friendliness of King Ed
ward and Queen Elizabeth and
the absence of formality except
on state occasions where it was
mandatory. Under other cir
cumstances they retained the
dignity to be expected of them
but at the same time were just
two very nice and friendly per-
sons.
Among the interesting COM
ments are those concerning the
state dinner when the amenities
were exchanged by President
Roosevelt and King George. II
there were those present who
expected the president to use a
special brand of oratory created
for the occasion, they were dis
appointed. With the same lucid
and graceful style in which the
president takes the case of the
New Deal to MY friends" he
opened his state dinner speech
with these words:
"Y0ur majesties: In the life
of a nation, as I'm that of an
individual, there are occasions
that stand out in high relief.
Such an occasion Is the pres
ent one, when the entire
United States is welcoming on
its soil the King and Queen of
Great Britain, of our neigh
Dor, Canada, and OF all the
far-flung commonwealth of
nations"
The presidents concluding
words, just before the toast,
were these:
MAY this kind Of under
standing between our nations
grow closer and closer and
our friendship prosper"
The response Of King George,
conversational in character and
even more simple in language,
included this:
From Canada, which we
have just left, I bring today
warm greetings of a neighbor
and trusted friend. From
my other dOminions, from the
United Kingdom and from all
my empire 1 carry to you ex-
pressiOns of the utmost cor
diality and good will.
And 1 pray we may continue
to walk the path of friendship
in a world of peace"
In both cases the sincerity of
the words was emphasized by
their simplicity, but an eastern
commentator picked the follow
ing as an example of the most
startlingly simple expression
ever made in an official adj
dress:
THE visit which the queen

of the plan but also arises out
of the emotions from the depths
of their souls, born and bred in
a school of moral law that recog-
nizes that, after God, man loves
man most If he loves God.
The life of Christ on earth
meant to teach the brotherhood
of man as an essential to life,
and If ever there was a move
ment since the birth of Chris
tianity which better exempli-
fled the teachings of Christ, it
would be hard to find. Surely
such a one has never before been
offered for legislation in the
congress of the U. S.
The Townsend plan is Chris
tianity applied to the problems
of daily living and until one
knows the depth of feeling in
the soul for Gods kingdom, he
can never Know the strength or
the Townsend movement, for
therein lies the answer.
On the floor of the house June
1. 81 representatives of the peo-
pie voted yes on the Townsend
bill because they had pondered
the purpose of this plan and had
watched the movement grow
and had found the correct an
swer to the question of strength.
And as usual great majority
of the representatives of the
people ignored the people be-
hind the Townsend plan and
missed the count.
MAUD HANDY,
Spanaway.

TOWNSEND STRENGTH

send movement that il never
dies? Is a question often asked.
AL who are familiar with this
movement know its strength
does not come merely from the
number of paid-up members but
rather from the fixed purpose
of the patient. rugged souls who
sacrifice to keep the orgsniza-
ton steadily growing.
The ideals of the Townsend
plan are enshrined in the hearts
OF our good people; their de-
termination to put this plan
through To victory Is not only
due to intelligent understanding

GROSS INJUSTICE

Editor, The Times: I am COM
PEELED to write this article to
right what we deem a gross in
justice on the part of those re-
sponsible for the false arrest OF
one Arthur Cabell. jr., and the
unfavorable publicity that fol-
lowed. On Friday evening, June
9th. the boy was attending a high
school graduation reception Civ
en- at the colored Elks hall and
was about to depart for home
when he was arrested. placed in
Jail and released the next morn
ing without going TO trial or
charge being preferred against
him.
I have consulted the police
officials and asked them to have
your paper clarity a statement
appearing in your paper June
10. 1889. relative to the arrest.
but evidently nothing was done
about il. so / am taking this
means to right an injustice. II
is not our intention TO defend
any person who commits a
crime. Ny boy is is years Of
age and certainly knows right
from wrong, and If he was
guilty Of a law violation then
let the law take its course.

WHY THE BACK DOOR
IF NOT FOR USE:

Editor, The Times: Because
! do not know to which employee
or official of the transportation
company the inquiry should be
addressed, l am asking the ques-
ton through Pulse of the Pub
lie" What I and a great many
other residents Of Tacoma would
like to know is this: Why are
there two doors, front and rear,
on the T. r. 4 p. buses? Is
the back door just for ornamen-
tation or could it be possible
that the builders placed it there
to facilitate handling Of passen-
gers?
The other day during the rush
of late afternoon in a heavy
shower, several persons stood
in the rain while Is or 20 pass
engers left the bus through the
front door. Had they used the
back door the others would not
have had to stand SO long in
the rain and the bus would have
been under way about a minute
sooner.
In Portland, Spokane and 9TH
err places where street cars are
being replaced by buses, the
rear doors are invariably mark
ed Exit" and are opened when
the bus stops. II passenger
attempts to leave by the front
door when several are waiting
to enter. ne is told TO take the
back door. The same practice
in Tacoma would greatly facili-
tate the handling Of passengers.
II there is any reason why it
should not be done here, will
some official of the T. r. & P.
please tell what it Is?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Editor, The Times: The White
House meagre bill of fare for
royalty included "capon breast"
There is a saying, tell me what
you eat and I'll tell you what
you are"
Perhaps, the aristocratc di-
gestive apparatus is capacitated
only for the more delicate and
devitalized food. While we are
not dietary experts, we are of
the opinion rulers should have
food substantially rich in iron
and vitamins, and not food that
has been deprived Of vital ele-
ments.
1t occurs to us, anyhow, here
is food for thought.
