the East.
In the face of all the evidence
brought forth, who is there to
deny the necessity Of the La
Toilette civil liberty committee
receiving sufficient funds to
continue their investigating. A
large percentage of our high
way patrolmen are splendid con-
scientious men: the same is true
of the majority of employers of
the state. The finger of sus-
picion. however, is pointed at
them until such time as the
public learns who among them
are deserving of public reprisal.

SWISS GET LAST
LAUGH ON GERMANS

New Workers are amused by
reports of recent incident on
the Swiss-German frontier.
The German border patrol got
into the habit of making loud
and uncomplimentary remarks
about the allegedly unsoldierly
appearance of their Swiss coun-
terparts across the border. The
Swiss calmly ignored their jibes.
But finally the Germans collect
ed lot OF rubbish In a box and
presented it with mock courtesy
to the Swiss as a token of their
esteem.
The Swiss retorted by solemn
ly handing the Germans pack
age of their best butter-a rare
luxury in Germany-withs little
note saying: Thus each nation
gives of its best which the other
lacks"

HOROSCOPE


Benefic aspects dominate on
this first day of June. according
to astrology. The stars stimu-
late interest in progressive ideas
and constructive activities.
This is an suspicious rule for
launching new business enter
prises. Manufacturing will. be
speeded under urgent foreign
orders.
Under this CONFORMATION there
may be sudden change from
optimism regarding International
affairs to widespread anxiety.
The United States is subject,
however. to signs that seem to
presage safety from aggression.
Quarrels and misunderstand-
tngs due to egotism and a strong
inclination toward individualism
may be numerous while this rule
prevails. The tendency. espe-
cially among the young, is to-
ward extreme selfishness.
This is lucky day for plan
ming journeys. Much travel east
and west is indicated.
Although the war in Spain
has ceased the seers read for
the future of the people a pro-
tracted state of misery and even
bloodshed.
College girls should enjoy this
day which promises many prot
estatons of lasting friendship
as well as offers Of marriage.
Personal magnetism is supposed
TO be strong under this sway.
Persons whose blrthdate ii is
have the augury for a year Of
prosperity and general we'll
being. Both men and women
should be successful. Increase
Of income will be encouraging
TO many.
Children born on this day
probably will be exceedingly
bright Of mind and strong Of
body. These subjects of Gemini
may be industrious and success
ful. Their lucky color is yellow

DEMO 194O NOMINEE
NEEDS +. DIS HELP

Democratic aspirants have
reached the conclusion that the
1910 Democratic nomination
won't be worth plugged penny
unless the nominee has Mr..
Roosevelt's active support.
That's why most Democratic
conservatives are trying hard
to get back in the presidents
good graces. They evidently
value victory In 1910 above
fidelity to conservative prin-
ciples.
This is also why you read In
spired reports-slightly fantastic
to those familiar with the inside
Democratic situation-that may
be Mr.. Roosevelt would not
seriously object to Vice Presi-
dent Gamers nomination. The
Garnerites are certainly anxious
to get that idea across.

Not satisfied with these pre-
cautions. Sheriff McGrsw asked
Gov. Squire to wire the federal
authorities for detachment Of
the regular army from Vancou-
yer. He told the governor that
while the Seattle situation was
under the control, sgitators who
had promoted the Tacoma evic-
tons had come over and were
melting the people to violence.
1T will be criminal negligence
to delay asking for federal
troops" he said.
1t happened that just at
this time President Grover
Cleveland and his cabinet
were in session to hear
report of the Tacoma evic-
tons. They foresaw inter-
national complications of
serious character II lawless
evictions Of the Chinese con-
tinued and were ready to
act when Gov. Squire's re-
quest fo- federal troops
came In. An order was tele-
graphed to Fort Vancouver
and the next day Gen. Glib
hons arrived with $50 army
men and took charge of the
city.
That put an end to any i'm
mediate possibility Of disturb
ance. The mob did not have
much fear of the local militia
men and home guards but did
have a wholesome respect for
federal troops. Mass meeting Of
Seattle citizens pledged support
to the authorities. A commit
tee which included the late
Thomas Burke and Judge c. H.
Hanford had gone over the sit
uation with the heads of the
Chinese colony and it had been
agreed that they would move
out as soon as decent arrange
ments could be made. The Chi
nese were assured that as long
as they made an effort TO move
in reasonable time. they and
their property would be pro-
tected. Just how insincere were
the anti-Chinese agitators is in
dicated by their refusal to this
fair proposal. 1t appeared that
they were not so much inter-
ested in getting rid of the Chi
nese as they were in creating
disturbance in which they could
appear as leaders in the COM
munity. Only the presence Of
federal troops prevented them
from repeating the illegal acts
performed with official conniv-
ance in Tacoma.

BRIGHT MOMENTS
IN GREAT LIVES

Joseph II, when kaiser of Aus
tria. was making a tour of a
very famous prison. AS was the
kingly custom, he asked many
why they were there. To the
man they all said they were
innocent-all except one fellow
who threw himself at Joseph's
feet, admitted his guilt, and
begged forgiveness. The ruler
looked at the warden, raised the
fellow up, and said: This bad
fellow is spelling all the inno-
cent ones; send him home to his
people"

WELCOMES GRAND JURY
REPORT ON COLE

Editor, The Times: The
amazing exposure of former
Chief Cole and the highway
patrol rs brought out by the
grand jury in Olympia is indeed
gratifying. Labor and individ-
uals of this state who have
been involved in labor contro-
versies of the past few years
should welcome the report.
A portion of the grand Jury's
report states;
oddly enough state patrol
men and state equipment to
transport the commodities TO
former Chief Coles ranch. would
usually follow close upon the
elimination Of labor and strike
difficulties in various localities
Of the state. The donation Of
commodities heretofore referred
10 would be donated TO the chief.
or in the common parlance Of
the patrolmen utilized for this
purpose. would be 'ehiseled" by
them at the direction Of former
Chief Cole, from some industrial
plant where the patrol had been
instrumental in quelhng labor
strife.
In this respect the jury does
not want to be put on record as
taking either the side Of capital
or labor. The jury feels that
capital was practically eoerced
for its own future protection 10

EXPECT EARLY START
ON FEDERAL BUILDING

Editor. The Times: The at
tached statement from the treas
ury department confirms COM
munication from the jefferson
Square Improvement club re-
ceived from Senator Bone to
the effect that early work is
anticipated on the new federal
building on Pacific ave.
The starting of that half
million dollar edifice to displace
the row of old shacks on our
leading thoroughfare will do
more to put pep in our people
than anything that has happened
in Tacoma since 1906.
II will be u step toward bring
ing the combined county and
city building to & more central
and more convenient location on
the Union Pacific property at
So. 18th st, and Broadway.
JAS. A. SPROULE,
Corresponding secretary.
The letter to which Mr..
Sproule refers is one under date
of May 10 from Noel A. Melick,
acting assistant director of pro-
curement, public buildings
branch of the treasury depart
ment, to Senator Bone in which
he concludes as follows:
Acceptance of the site for
the federal office building in
Tacoma was issued under date
of April rs. 1889. the location
being on the east side of Pacific
ave, extending from So. 18th
to So. 14th SITS.
In this early stage, and in
view of the volume of work en-
titled to prior consideration
which has accumulated before
the division. II is impracticable
at this time to determine when
actual construction may begin.
1T is intended to proceed with
the project however as promptly
as the progress Of the program
as whole will permit"

Gov. Squire Alarmed;
Calls Federal Troops
WHILE Gov. Watson Squire
was attempting to avert the
lawless eviction Of Chinese resi-
dents of Washington territory,
contrary forces organized an
Anti Chinese Congress, the
slogan Of which was, The
Chinks must GO"
First meeting Of the congress,
the promoters Of which were
outside agitstors from Califor-
MIA, was held in Seattle the last
of September. 1885. Though
they declared that they were
oppose to interfering with
legal rights of the Chinese. rep
resentatives of labor organiza-
tions attended the meeting of
this group organized solely for
the purpose of evicting the Chi
nese regardless Of legal or moral
rights.
Jacob Weisbsch. mayor Of
Tacoma, and one Of the radicals
among the anti-Chinese leaders,
presided. giving the meeting
semi-official sanction. The
meeting adopted series of high
sounding resolutions containing
q good many platitudes and con-
GLIDING with the blunt assertion
that the Chinese must be out
by Nov. is.
The Tacoma division of the
congress did not wait until Nov.
Is to act. On the morning of
Nov. 3, after having warned the
Chinese a couple of days before,
the roundup was started. A
committee went Systematically
through the Chinese district. BY
the middle of the afternoon sew
eral hundred Chinese with their
meagre belongings had been
taken to Lakeview, where they
were put on Northern Pacific
train bound for Portland. BY
agreement with the committee,
about 25 had been left to guard
and prepare for shipment such
merchandise as there was in the
district, but only part Of the
goods had been moved when the
buildings were burned.
Startled by the exhibition Of
mob violence after he had been
assured that the rights of the
Chinese would be protected, Gov.
Squire appealed for fed era1
troops and issued proclama-
ton warning all persons against
participating in any riot or in
citing to riot and calling upon
all law enforcement officers and
citizens generally to protect the
Chinese against assault. This
action was taken to prevent a
repetition of the Tacoma cpl
sode in Seattle, which was the
next objective of the California
agitators.
The agitation had been car
ried on in Seattle as noisily as
in Tacoma but with this diff
ference:
