LET us REGISTER;
LET US VOTE

There are fully $4,000 un-
registered men and women in
King county eligible to vote.
One hundred sixty-six thousand
are registered to vote in the
spring election. OF the number
falling to place their names on
the registration rolls, where the
largest number of Negroes reside.
indicate less than one-half of
these are qualified.
Soon the city of Seattle will
buzzle with activity of candidates
and their Supporters for member
ship in the City Council. In all
probability the present members
of the City Council will succeed
themselves.
The biggest question for Seat
tie voters to determine is who is
going to be the next mayor. VIII
Seattle be a closed or open city?
VIII it be liberal or conservative?
There is no reason to suppose
that Mayor Devin will not be a
candidate to succeed himself.
We doubt the ability of any
man yet proposed to wrest from
the present mayor what he has
won.
Many men. white and black.
have stated they feel the present
police court judge is too tempera-
mental and ought to be succeeded
by a judge more stable.
Wishful thinking is of no mo-
ment. Register and vote. No
poll tax is required to vote in this
state.
Progressive ministers in this
city are already urging congre-
cations to register and vote.
Churchgoers have a civic duty to
perform and should not be heard |
after the election.
Good Morning, brother or sis
ter. Have you registered? Do 1t
now.

GIVE HIM JUSTICE, ONLY

ut made me want to get out
of the Army as fast as possible,
because l thought we were fight
ing against such stuff, not for it,"
The above quotation represents
the reaction of an American
doughboy who saw the brutal at
tack of Lieutant General George
Smith Patton on a shell-shocked
soldier in a hospital in Sicily, as
reported in Time Magazine.
Thanks to the courage of News
Commentator Drew Pearson, the
sorry behavior of Gen. Patton
was broadcast to the American
people after every effort had been
made to keep the atrocity a Sc
cret. But even though Paton's
action is now stale news" since
the atrocity took place last Au-
gust, it UNDERSTANDABLE has
arounsed as much indignation as
if it happened very recently.
The people will not be i'm
pressed that the kind of white
washing that has been given
Gen. Patton was justified, makes
no difference if he is lauded as
an indispensable" general. There
ought to be one rule for dealing
with bad actors in the armed
services and a general who makes
an attack upon even private in
the fighting forces should get the
same penalty that would be given
a private for assaulting a general.
Generals do the commanding
and cussing in the Army. 1t is
the privates, corporals and ser
geants who do the fighting and
dying. 1t is a joke to call this a
peoples war-a joke to be MAX
ing self-righteous accusations
against the Gestapo or the Fa-
scists-if Brass Hat bullying is
allowed to go unpublished. What
ever would have been done to a
private for attacking Gen. Pat
ton in the manner Gen. Patton
attacked the sick soldier in Sicily
should be the punishment melted
out to this recreant general.
Gen. Patton should not be al
lowed to get away with his mis-
deed by a mere apology for his
action--an apology that he made,
not of his own free will and ac-
cord, but because he got wise to
the fact that Gen. Eisenhower
was about to put the skids under
him if he did not make the
apology.

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND
Edwin, nine-year-old Negro
blitz orphan recently adopted in
England by company of Negro
troops, is now an honorary ser
geant in the United States Army
Edwin, meeting his foster par
ents" for the first time on a spe-
cial trip to a North Midlands
camp, received his rank recently
in colorful ceremony staged by
the American Red Cross and the
Negro soldiers who are pledged
to support him for the next five
years.
The adoption was arranged un-
der the "Stars and Stripes" plan
by which units of American
troops in England undertake to
raise 100 pounds for the adoption
and care of an English child or
phaned by the war. Edwin was
the first Negro youth adopted by
Negro soldiers.
Edwin's meeting with his par
ents" was something of a novelty
for both, the Derby Evening Tele-
graph reported. Born in England
and reared in a coastal town in
the southern part of that country,
the lad had never seen an Amer
lean Negro soldier. On the othet
hand, none of the American Ne
gro soldiers had seen a Negro
war orphan since tehir arrival
overseas.
Edwin became an orphan sey-
eral months ago when his father,
a seaman in the British emrchant
marine, was lost at sea. His
mother had died before the out
break of the war. When his
South England town was blitzed
by the Luftwaffe, Edwin was
evacuated to a foster home in
Goole with other children from
his community.
On the day of his official re-
ception by the Negro troops. Ed
win was escorted from Goole by
sergeants and two Red Cross
an American officer, two Negro
representatives. Arriving at the
camp he transferred from an au-
tomobile to jeep and went on a
tour of the camp. He was piled
with candy bars and sweets be.
fore a baseball game (his first)
was held in his honor and spe
cial cake was baked for him al
lunch. Immediately after luncl
he was rushed to a special movie
and in order to prepare him FOL
his new rank, he was given al
Army G. 1. haircut.
Edwin was then made an hon
orary sergeant of the U. S. Arm.
and his whole company of "foste
parents paraded before him. H

The December meeting of the
Glover Leaf Art Club, Tuesday
evening, at the home of Mrs. Err
nest Tanner, 315 North Tacoma
Ave, developed into a regular
Christmas party when it was de-
cided to hold no other meeting
during the month. However, the
regular routine was gone through
with. OF news value was the
report of the president, Mrs. As
berry, of the meeting of the
Presidents Council for November.
There was a speaker, school
teacher who had taught school at
Tule Lake in the japanese Amer
lean concentration camp. Besides
bringing the latest news of Tule
Lake she exhibited artificial flow
ers made of tiny sea shells. Mrs.
Tanner exhibited some of these
flowers which had been sent to
her. She read two interesting
letters from Japanese American
friends. There WAS discussion of
our colored soldier boys. A let
ter was read from Jack Tanner,
who has been transferred over
seas.
Three of the club women were
selected to sell tuberculosis seals
at the department stores-a new
gesture from that organization.
The hostess served a delicious
Christmas luncheon. The rest of
the evening was taken up with
merrymaking till the clock had
made its all-round circuit of the
/ evening.
The annual meeting will be
held at the home of Mrs. Worther
Hamilton at Salishan, in January,
1914.
