If it comes to a question of getting something for my waf@ which we sorely need or standing by a plan to €ollect city garbage, in which I am not vitally interested, I shall look out for my own people.” The thumbscrews have been applied to Mr. Wardall and rightly ér wrongly he has cried “ENOUGH” and has become one of the men who are willing to farm out the public health by granting to private parties a contract for the collection and disposal of city ggrbage.<in the face of opposition of the city’s health department and of his own convictions and those of the other honest men in the city council W. H. Hines, of ‘the 12th ward, and J. M. Sparkman, of the Eighth ward, imve announced their intention of following Mr. Wardall’s example, and J. ‘T. Armstrong, of the 13th ward, who also voted for the Murphy ordinance, says that he may change his vote. . he Star has no desire to speak harshly of these gentle meri. They are anxious to make good with their wards and that is a commendable aim. But they should not forget that they are representing the entire city of Seattle and not alone the people, who live in their wards. Mr. Wardall is just as much the representative of the people of Capitol Hill as he is of the people of West Seattle. These men were elected jointly conduct the business of the city and it is more important tiiat they should bear in mind the general good than the good of those of any one ward. In allowitig themselves to be coerced by Seattle's coraupt | council gang they are inviting severe criticism, They are be- coming a part of this gang, the members of which are in the council for the good they may do themselves and not the good they may do the people of this city. They are“becoming mem- | bers of a gang that is controlled wholly by its own selfish de- | sires and in which there are men now showing signs of af- fluence who before were of very moderate means. The Star knows, and every member of the council should know, that there are people in this city who are willing to spend large sums of money in order to secure the repeal of the Mur- phy ordinance and the passage of a private contract drdinance. Every man who votes for this repeal and this private contract is inviting the suspicion that he has been “seen.” Can Mr. Wardall, Mr. Sparkman, Mr. Hines and Mr. Arm- strong afford to allow themselves to become associated with as corrupt and as brazen a gang as ever attempted to control the financial affairs of this city? Public. opinion is stronger than any gang that ever con- trolled any city council, and this; with the opportunity of the recall, could very easily enable these gentlemen to get what they need for their wards and at the same time keep their hands clean. to WHAT GOES UP NEED NOT COME DOWN About a year ago the telegraph and express companies added about 20 per cent to their charges. To a complaining public they explained that prosperity had rendered the increase mecessary; wages and cost of everything had gone up, so they were obliged to adjust their charges to the increase. Since then prosperity has given place to hard times. about the increase now? Perhaps the advanced charges will be defended now on the} plea that, in hard times, the returns fall off and the revenues are all the more needed. Which comes to the argument of the lazy man who did not mend his roof in good weather because then it did not need it, and in rainy weather he could not work. | However—that 35 cents in place of the old familiar 25 cents serves to remind the voter that congress refused to grant the people a parcels post, and Mr. Overstreet’s committee declined | to hear arguments in favor of a government-owned or super-| vised telegraph system. How They are organizing societies in Seattle for the purpose of “fur thering the movement to check child marrfages in India.” This is all right, of course, in its way. But why wouldn't it be a good idea to form 4 few societies for the purpose of checking foolish marriages at home. We'll bet a hat to a hen that they don't do as much busl, hess Saturday mornings in all of India as they do in court of King county. the divorce Because of the condition of the basement in the Hinckley block, mised by them as @ storeroom, & Hanford are morally, if not legally, to blame for the difficulties encountered by the firemen tn last night's fire.
