Here is a wate famine district bound on every side by a flood. For several days now there has been no water for thousands and thousands of people except what they could get from water wagons and by other makeshift arrangements, An uncertain future is fac Will the plan to use Lake Washington water be adopted with out bad results? Will the city’s engineers be able to repair the break in the big pipes by the end of the week? These and a hundred other questions are in the minds of the people. But the same Seattle spirit that has carried this city along on the crest of the wave of success is present now : at the discomforts of the situation, and BELIEVE LY that things will be all.right again within a Ona vear ABSOLUTE few days. The ability to sce the funny, the pleasant side, has saved many a life and many a community in the world’s history. ‘And absolute confidence spells victory at your elbow. So Seattle smiles and works and plays, and applauds her men who are fighting to bend recreant waters to their will again SARAH BERNHARDT, 66, is engaged to marry a Flemish actor, Lou Tollegen, 26, according to a dispatch today from the capital of La Belle France, Reminds one of that song, “She's a young thing, and cannot leave her mother,” doesn’t it?

Mayor Dilling is right when he says city policemen are not arbiters of disputes between. street car conductors and car patrons. He is right when he declines to man the cars of the Seattle, Renton & Southern, or any other line, with policemen. It is not the duty of policemen to fight the battles of cor- porations which have outraged public sentiment until conduc- tors have to fight to enforce arbitrary and unjust rulings. Where the law is violated policemen wit! not hesitate to do their duty. “If law violations have become so frequent, owing to the out- 4 fageous Conduct of the street car corporations, that the police ~ €annot be on the ground when all of them occur, the remedy lies with the corporations themselves. The people are not going to tax themselves to double Se- attle’s police force to enable these corporations to enforce their rulings. Iiet the street car corporations play fair. Let them repeal the arbitrary transfer point order. Let them put on ENOUGH CARS TO RENDER SERVICE Let them quit running past citizens who want to ride, forcing them to wait 20 or 40 minutes for another car—all because _ they themselves jam the cars instead of running more cars. r In the meantime Mayor Dilling has no reason to establish martial law on behalf of the street car monopolies, i, © THERE is one individual who is glad of that order against taking bath, anyway.
