The Star showed very plainly that the line from the road house to the morgue is as straight as the line from sin to damnation, The Seattle paper has the right sort of courage to speak out as it does.” Tt is not te ade ” written by a man whose whol the pity of it and the horror of it } t 1 s ver the country r, the official organ of the archdio wing comment any credit to this newspaper that this men nditions the Hi Gill of Seattle rather to remind us all that the the tion is w But which made this tragedy are conditions that group of politicians want to obtain all over the city the conditions that Mayor Pat McCarthy is promising to bring to San Francisco Of the cost in bl of and beckons taught, It ! and tears and d mor and shame @ city where license rules and vice flaunts its face these are tan not be told too the territ yral lessons this editoria ften For City Comptroller The recent history of the city comptroller's office, we take it, has impressed upon the mind of the voter the necessity of hav {ng a fit man for that place. Enough has happened to serve as a lesson for some time to come, in the excitement surrounding the contest for a higher office, the importance of the lesser may be overlooked. William J. Bothwell is a republican candidate for the nomi- nation for this office, and it is in furtherance of bis candidacy that The Star now speaks, for Mr, Bothwell is imbued with the fdeas that The Star believes to be for the best interests of the city and for the safeguarding of the people’s interests. The city tomptroller’s office is an important unit in the ring machinations which have proved so costly in the past; the office has much to do with city contractors, and city contractors have much to do with city money. Its strategic importance to the ring is thus manifest Mr. Bothwell’s opposition to the city hall ring is the lead ing issue of his campaign, and is worthy of the support of every taxpayer. He has aligned himself squarely with those who are striving for honesty and decency in city government and is in Open opposition to those who would have it otherwise That he has the technical qualifications for the duties of this Office is shown by his clear and concise exposition of the merits of the serial bond issue. Since Mr. Bothwell began this agita- tion, the finance committee of the city council has made beste} to recommend its submission to the votes of the people at the coming election, this tardy recommendation being, in nautical) terms, for the purpose of taking the wind out of Mr. Bothwell’s sails. To those who give the subject thought, it will be considered as an unwilling testimonial to Mr. Bothwell’s ability and addi- tional proof that Seattle needs his services. but there is always danger that The i4<carrot steak, surrounded | M.
