experiences of yesteryears as we
read an account of the death of
Mrs. Josephine Allensworth in the
California Eagle. Amounted above
her fellows with the oil of good
cheer and sympathetic concern for
others; a revelation of tenderness
and tolerance, by sheer centripetal
force of God-given qualities she
attracted toward herself men and
women in every walk of life, seek
ing warmth and comfort from a
heart filled with love of human
ity. Her life in Helena, as was also
that of her daughters, Nella and
Eva, now Mrs. Blodgett and Mrs.
Shanks, was faithfully absorbed in
the fulfillment of exacting duties
falling to the lot of a family living
within the prescribed bounds of
Army life. Her life was indeed a
stage draped with a silver curtain,

Mathews Proves
Disappointment

From the sixth round till the end
of the tenth, fight fans booed and
left the auditorium after witness
ing very sorry main event be-
tween Allen Mathews of st. Louis
and Solly Krieger, middleweight
champion, Wednesday evening at
the Civic Auditorium.
The house was packed to the
rafters, and Mathews had tn e
crowd with him from the very first
when he made a complete monkey
out of the champion. He displayed
left hand that was beautiful to
watch, and the crowd was yelling
for a knockout, for the champion
was bleeding freely from tn e
mouth and nose, and his body red
with welts.
Then it happened, at the start
of the sixth round Mathews just
refused to fight. He went into a
shell and finally after Solly tap
ped him on the shoulder he went
down amid the loud booing of the
crowd. Like an electric shock
the vast audience murmured, He's
quit, however, a well balanced
preliminary card gave those who
attended a first class bang up show

fought the semi-windup, frankie

Letter to the Editor

During the past IS months since
he was ordained Rev. Judson
Swaney has established an en-
viable record of having made over
400 visits to sick persons in hos
pitfalls of Seattle. Those visits in
cluded persons of many races and
religious denominations.
His services also include parti-
cipation in the burial of friends
and strangers and he has joined
men and women together under
the institution of marriage. He
has ealaied the word of God into
the homes of those not able to at
tend church. He has visited the
iails. attempting to right the ways
of lawbreakers. He offered his
services to Walla Walla and Nc
Neil Island penitentiaries. So free
ly has he given of his time and
money that he now finds himself
in need of assistance. His friends
are making efforts in the form
of contributions to save his home
which has been foreclosed.
Since he has no regular pastor
ate, his friends are appealing to
the public at large. He has a seven
year old child who is motherless,
and he has lived in Seattle for
the past twenty years and has
been a taxpayer during this period.
There are countless other mercy
missions not mentioned that have
been rendered by Rev. Sancy since
he has become a disciple of God.
Rev. Swancy resides at $40 25th
Ave.
We do agree that he is worthy
of your support. Signed:

byterian Church; Mrs. Bertha Lew

Society; Rev. j. Thrasher, Local

freedom. The American people, re- gardless of party, gathered them selves together and threw off the yoke of false and destructive idea.
 Two emotions must today be mingled in the minds of thoughtful folk. First, satisfaction. Yester- days vote revived our faith in rep resentative government. It proved anew the wise observation of Lin- coin that you cannot fool all of the people all of the time, or even part of the people very long. It reaf- firmed our faith in the soundness of American institutions and the capacity of the people to govern themselves.
 Second, there comes with the satisfaction a renewed sense of re- sponsibility. Many who occupy im- portant places in political or busi- ness life have been assuring the people that if ever industry could be freed from the overhanging threat of economic heresies, it would itself begin to spend and ex- pand and remove the cancer of un- employment. Well, the heresies are being swept away, the threats are one by one being dispelled, the re- sponsibility now comes back di- rectly to industry. Its leaders must banish unemployment from Amer lea. They must put men and wom- en back to work. This is their chal- lenge and their opportunity. I for one have no doubt that their vision, courage and ingenuity will prove equal to the task"
