"America For Americans"
SEATTLE'S .SHAME
Seattle, to its shame and disgrace,
0.** been put under the ban by the
commanding officer *t Camp Lewis.
Officers and men yhen off duty
•re forbidden to visit this city, save
by special permission.
Failure to hold vice iu check, if
aoc to eradicate it, is responsible
for this quarantine. Maj. Geu.
Qreene, in the action taken, gives
damaging proof of his lack of confi
dence in the efforts to date to
clean un the city. He flatyl avers
that such efforts are nil.
"Interest, fear or inefficiency,'"
he says, in these reproachful words,
have stopped the police force from
doing its full duty in the prmeisee;
and so, "tired of waiting for Seat
tle to accomplish something defin
ite la the -way of a vice crusade,"
he is forced to put the city un
der the ban.
His action is harsh. It ^ives
Seattle the blackest of black eyes.
It advertises the municipality's
looseness to the -world. Coming up
ou the heels of scandals of the
B^st, it is a body blow to Seattle
and nurtful in the extreme. It
brings the blush of shame to every
decent citizen. It drags the city's
uame into the mire. It discredits
the sense of loyalty toward the sol
diery of this patriotic community.
It negatives to an extent and for
the moment the magnificent work
Seattle has done and is doing, and
so gloriously, in so many fine
causes appertaining to the war.
Its ill-effects, the shame and dis
grace in the train o£ such an. odious
quarantine, cannot be overstated »r
Over-estimated. The odium is un
eseanafcle.
Harsh? Yes, a very Iiarsh. action.
It besoeaks militarism and is at
tuned to the military way of doing
things. A municipality may oe
trifled 'with, an electorate treated
aa a Jes', law defied and the courts
mocked, but not the military au
thorises In time of war.
Harsli as it is, costly as the
ugly lessoa must be, the Post-In
telllgeacer cannot in conscience rail
It an unjustifiable action. It does
not area express surprise. Amaze
ment It has none whatever. In view
o£ faly warning riven and manifest
patienco shown surprise might well
be felt had this harsh action not
beea taker..
Belatedly establishing a quaran
tine of Its own after tardily dis
covering the need therefor amd ex
posing infectioa most menacing to
pubila welfare, but otherwise al
lowing vice to run its rampant way
And Riving coas'ant evidence of of
ficial laxity or Inefficiency, •we'l
day Seattle have expected to be
put under the ban.
Truth to fell, it invited It.
' What Is Seattle going to do
about It? Certainly there is much
to do and at once. A cleaned-up
citj Is impossible without a tleaned
up police department. A clean
city !# not to be had at the hands
rnltD£ authorities Jfho obviously
HOOVER'S GOIV TO GET 1'OU
Bi Mable T. Clapp
The darned old hoover pledge bus
come to our house to stay;
To frown our breakfast bacon down,
and 'ake our Bteak away;
It oana our morning waffles, and
our sausage, too, it eeems.
And dilates on the succulence of
com, and spuds, and beans.
So skimp the sugar in your cake au<]
leare the butter out,
Or Hooker's goin' to get you iX you
Don't
Watch
Out!
Oh, gone now are the good old days
of iiot cakes thickly spread;
And meatless, wheatless, hopelees
days are reigning In their stead;
And gone the days of fat rib roasts,
aud two-inch T-bone ateaks,
And doughnuts plump and golden
brown, the kind that mother
makes.
And when it comes to pie and cake,
just learn to cut It out,
Or Hoover's goin' to get you if you
Don't
I Watch
Out!
So spread your buckwheats sparing
ly, and peel your tat era thin;
Audi tighten up your belt a notch
and don't forget to errin.
And if sometimes, your whole soul
yearns for Bhortcaka high and
■wide.
And biscuits drenched with honey
a*id chicken, butter fried.
Remember then that Kaiser Bill
Is *tiort on 6a.ii re kraut.
And Hoover's goin' to get him if
we'll
All
Help
Out!
The German crown prince, while
having a nice little chat with his
father, 6&id:
"Father who started the war?"
"I Snow," said the father play
fully, "but I won't tell."
"Did cousin George start it?"
persisted the youth.
"No," said papa.
"Did Francis Joeeph?"
"No," said the old man.
"Well, who did then?"
"I'll tell you son. You remembei
Teddy Roosevelt came out of Cen
tral Africa and called on us sev
eral years ago and I showed him
Gu magnificent army; I showed
him our great and glorious aavy;
I showed him the Zeppe and the
submarines and the gafl fca^s, and
Teddy, greatly impressed, mapped nu
on the back and said, 'Bill, my boy,
you can lick the world.' And like
a d d fool, I believed him."
HERSH KIJ. ISLAND DE
SERTED THIS WINTER
Nome,—Hershell Island, away u]
off the Canadian Arctic coast, near
the Alaskan boundary, vhich Shears
ago was the winter station and
rendezvous of whaling boats, wi 1
be deserted this winter, according
to reports reaching here, according
to reports reaching here, on ac
count of the gradual decline of the
fur catch.
Alexander Allen, a Herahell 16
land trader, known all over tha Arc
tic cbuntrv, is said to have left the
Island and was believed to be the
last man to leave. None of the
traders realized much on their
catch of last winter, it Is believed.
Poverty In Chin*.
A wealthy Chinese money leader to
Manchuria was convicted of making
false declarations regarding robberies
of Ilia caravans by Mongolian bandits.
Ells conscience troubled him to such
an extent that he offered to contribute
an annual sum of $7C0 for tbe><cettaf of
the poor. This money was made tbe
basis of a fuad for feediug tbe help
less at Kougchuilug.
Manchuria is terribly poor, despite
the mineral and agricultural riches ex
tracted from Its soli and rocks, all of
which products are shipped abroad.
There are probably thousands of In
dustrious natives unable by unremit
ting toil to ecrn more than a meager
tiring. When to their natural difficul
ties are added tbe ravages of bandits
and the eviLs of misgovenimont, such
as prevail in many parts of China, ab
ject poverty aud starvation must be
the lot of people who in the beat of
times are only half fed.—East and
West News.
do not sense the meaning of a clean
city, There is work lor the coun
ty prosecutor; work for the district
attornev; work or the Minute Men;
.work for the civic and bu*inees
bodies, and, above all, immediate
»nd urgent work for a grand jury
to do.
And there is yet work for the
bar association.
It Is up to Seattle to act and a«t
unitedly to remove thig damnable
stain, and restore the city's fair
name. The Job (KVnnot be post
poned. And the time to get at the
job Is noyr—today.
All other business can wait. —

Time has strengthened the evi

Has proven the result lasting.
The proof of merit is convincing.

Jose, Calif., say6: "I was taken
»ith a terrible pain iu niy back,
i lf I stooped, lifted or made a
misstep, darting paing shot thru
my kidneys causing the worst kind
of suliering. 1 got a box of Doan'a
Kidne.v Pills, being told they were
the best medicine to be had for
paits ill the back and other kid
ney trouble. They removed the
pain and distress and X have never
had a return of the complaint."
(Statement given October 23,
1912.)
THE RESULTS LASTED
On May 22, 1916 Mr. Bauer said:
"My cure has proven to be a per
manent one. I never stop praising
Doan'a Kidney Pills."
