The Japanese flag has been hoisted there. Nobody is looking If war were upon us this minute, it think this is war talk, It isn’t for wouldn't be any time to talk about getting ready ; right now it would only be time to hustle and make the best of things.

Here they are Ore more fact. Pratas is a natural naval base, Another fact them just outside Japan's front yard. tact Still another Japan 1,000 miles nearer the Philippines, it also puts her just that much nearer our poorly protected Pacific coast It is very simple, the way Japan got Pratas island, It was through the Treaty of Paris, which said that the United States had posse fied the 20th parallel as the northern boundary. 60 miles north of what we own. It dicu't It was a barren waste, with a lot of sand and squawking sea birds. several fi be transiormed into a magnificent coaling base and refitting station Now perhaps Japan is going to use Pratas island as a place to breed sea-birds. And perhaps she isn't But here is the long and short of it, and the common sense of it and the point of it: Imdoesn't make any difference why Japan grabbed Pratas Island. It doesn’t make any difference, either, why Japan keeps on turning out battleships as fast as she can, and stealing the plans of every one of our fortifications she can get her hands on At any rate, probably she won't, for some time, anyway. But Japan is preparing. Japan is getting ready for what ever conits. Our wiseacres in Washington profess to keep an eye on the armed strength of the world. W hy? Not because we intend to fight the world, but because ordinary prudence tells us that we must be able to take care of ourselves if any- does break loose. wery step Japan takes towards the Philippines and Seattle is like somebody ringing a dinner bell and saying, “If you're ay) > wash your face and hands, you'd better get at it.” ow near do you think Japan ought to be allowe: before we thoronghtly fortify our Pacific coast? FENDERS ON STREET CARS Of what use are the fender company? There is not « single modern fender in use in the city of Seattle. Cars on all of the lines operated by the Seattle Mlectric company are equipped with fenders that are no longer used in eastern cities. Most of them are dilapidated and absolutely worth- lees. Practically all of the cars that operate on Second and First avs. have fenders that are in bad condition and are carried so bigh that the body of an average-sixed man will pass underneath with out difficulty. It has been stated by a number of witnesses to the killing of J. A. Westberg that the fender passed over his body and acted as a deathtyap rather than a safety appliance. Even the old Renton line has better fenders on {ts cars than the ones in use by the Seattle Blectrie company. The Seattle Ren ton & Southern makes a special fender in its shops for use on its electric line. Last summer two instances occurred in which this fen der was tho means of saving the lives of pedestrians. In the eastern cities the style of fender used by the Seattle Electric company has been replaced by a modern fender that has some claim to being a safeguard. Why should Seattle be so far behind in this respect? ——= OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE IVERETT, THE LAWN LOOKS GREAT SCOTT?

One trouble with all of us is that we exaggerate the importance of our ow inions as to the regulation the universe. It ts this exaggerated ego that makes most of us such bitter and up compromising partisans tn politics, religion and other relations of life. We attach so much importance to what we think that we are not just to the fellow who docen't think as we do.
