There are plenty of chumps In common parlance a “chump” is a “soft mark.” He is one of those gullible, easily worked persons who is a fit victim for the designing. He loses money on sure-thing games. bricks. He buys wildcat mining stocks. And the worst of it is that he doesn’t realize that he is a chump. Many persons who are not usually chumps become such about election time. Then they fall into the toils of the glad hand machine politicians who want the offices.

The county commissioners, for instance, DIANA’S DIARY granted 13 saloon licenses for the little town of North Bend, and allowed all sorts of criminal excesses there, to catch a BY F. W. SCHAEF: few dive-keepers’ votes. These commissioners have gone along month after month, year after year, spending money wasteiully, recklessly, piling up an increasing debt and apparently caring little whether they ran the county into bankruptcy or not. They are totally incompetent. Yet, remember at the elections these men were around with the glad hand and got the votes necessary to put them into office. Thousands of Seattle citizens pay county taxes. Other thousands outside of the city pay such taxes. Is an increasing tax rate so pleasant that these thousands would prefer to vote at coming elections for the glad-hand men and keep on pouring money into the county treasury for them to misuse? These are serious, vital questions. Why not, for once, have a board of real business men in control of the county's affairs? Why not put into the jobs men who feel a sense of duty to the people and have a knowl- edge of the value of money? If the “glad hand” had been kept out of the board of county commissioners during the last ten years millions of dollars would have been saved and the county would have possessed today a system of good roads, instead of impassable lanes. ha! “Hugh, I haf a extinguished pettyrree, too.
