PLIGHT. out or bought “Tt is an office which cannot be bandied 1d the man who gets the recommendation of this to it by and sold, committee must be one who has proved his right loyal party service Thus spake R. S$, Terhune, chairman, in all the accumet lated wisdom of the King county central committee, concern ing the qualifications necessary for the man who is to hold the office of county treasurer Laughter struggles with tears in the contemplation of this pronunciamenta, from the high places. It is both amusing and saddening, and Mr, Terhune really should be careful how he plays upon the heart strings of public sentiment We fear that the “mark set by Mr. Terhune is too high, and that the men who can measure up to the requirements set by him will be few and hard to find, Had he been willing with the sanction of his central committee, to accept a man who! was merely honest, capable, just, fair, industrious, consctem tious, honorable, acceptable to the public, and competent im every respect, we would have some amall hope that the ext gency service’ We realize, as doubtless does Mr. Terhune, how despairingly few men have ever rendered “loyal party service,” and appre ciating the full significancey the high altruistic motives, the lofty patriotism, the noble sacrifice of personal time and am bition involved in “loyal party service,” we are forced to the While we admire, respect and fevere the motives which impel Mr Terhune to set the mark for the county treasurership so high, we feel that he should be made to see that this is essentially | Ov a practical age, an age of ideals reduced to the average of he humanity, and that while we should always fix our gaze on the jam to highest, brightest, purest star, that all true progress ts made | pre would be met. But this qualification of “loyal party we pause before, as if confronted by the impossible conclusion that it could not be otherwise than rare by compromise. hee And we would suggest to Mr. Terhune that he show 4] yy Willingness to compromise on “loyal party gervice” to the ex-|them. The Smearitons DO pile it looked any bets during the even i ye nant n, and H neces-|@ when they entertain, as that goes ing or we would have been crowd: tent of accepting an honest and competent man, with making a FRONT tn soctety. ed against the rail in the finfah, Me and Maggie, the domestic, I hope the Smearitons entertain sary that he overlook any dereliction shown by such a man towards furthering the interests of Jack Hawkins for wreck-| oy, master in the last campaign cession on the part of Mr. Terhune and the central committee, and he would please the people—the comrfon people—whose only desire heretofore has been to pay the salary of the county treasurer. ‘PILES OFJUNK vs. ARMS ANDLEGS) , wono’From soon wn During the quarter of a year ended June 30, 1908, there were, on our steam railroads, 2,130 collisions and de ents, | resulting in a loss to the roads of $1,617,398 in damage and rolling stock. Who pays that $1,617,398? It is charged on the books of the companies as re “wear and tear.” It is paid out of the income of the company, just like any other bills to cars It is an item of “deterioration.” Every quarter the amount is about the same, and nobody thinks of not paying for such losses. Until it is paid the divi- dends are not figured During the year ended June 30, 1908, the total number of 3,764 casualties on our steam railroads was 72,733. Of these were killed and 68,989 were injured. ‘The resulting loss to the roads was — —? Who pays—who sustains—the 3,764 deaths and the 68,989 injuries suffered on our railroads? | ‘The railroads? Except for the cost of maintaining the claim department, no. Are the doctor's bills charged against | the road along with the “wear and tear | to the rolling stock? No. Is the value widow and orphan children assessed as a regular and neces sary expense in railroading? No. Is the helplessness of the! cripple appraised and paid for along with the locomotive that | ff went through the culvert? No. Why? Is human life cheaper than wood and iron? Is blood and agony more negligible than box cars and running gear? Is it just that the lumber and the junk should be charg ed up to the loss of the stockholder, and the feet and hands of} the engineer be charged up to his wife and children? which we scorn as being ruled by a loss resuiting from the or the “deterioration” of the human life to the! In imperial Germany kaiser, who is now under fire as an err ic individual, they charge the cost of accidents to the industry which entails them And in nearly all other civilized countries they do the same Oh, we Americans have still some things to learn Next time you hear the president talking about the neces-}f} sity for a national law to compel every industry to bear the burden of its loss in injury to the employed, think of the army of 3,764 railroad engineers, firemen, brakemen, conductors,| etc., who march forth every year to certain death, Think of the |} army of 68,989 railroad employes who march forth every year|f| And then ask yourself if it is fair to charge] to certain injury | that loss to the cripples and those widows and orphans, instead of spreading it over the general cost of railroad operation did you notice that 48 hours be | While we hate to talk about present company we printed a picture of Heney's would-be assassin about fore any of our hated rivals? | If a woman ever gets on the school board it should be her first great task to see that school teachers are paid at least as much as | school janitors.
