Main Sor tnd. 441 the Cireulatton Depa: ment The Shame of Seattle (Editorial from the Medford, Oregon, Sun.) Ts an open town a good town’ Is a city acmtmistration which winks at vice and scoffs at virtue a boon for business or a detriment? This % the question which Seattle ts attempting to decide in its coming ele tion, and indications point to an affirmative decision. Seattle is headed for a mistake as old as civilization, Because business has been less active since the open-town regime under Hil Gill, the people are rushing to the conclusion that a return to corruption nd licentiousness will bring relief, It won't, It will increase misery, lower civic self-respect, drive aes away and extend an invitation to the @eum and froth of eart! The blow to Seattle prosperity has been due to economic causes, t moral ones. She has suffered a commercial setback common to ties throughout the country, She has been reaping the whirlwind of “speculation and get-rich-quick hysteria, A return to Gill and all it Gill stands for may bring @ temporary stimulus to business, but it be only a superfielal salve to a dee: ited and devastating disease. Morality is not Only good morals, it is good business. In apite of the much-vaunted wickedness of our big cities, no big elty was ever Duilt upon flagrant disregard of the ordinary laws of human decency and terment. Large cities are not large because they are evil, but are lt because they large—the germ of dppravity flourishing most @onspicuously in the darkness of thy crowd, eg ae is riding to a fall. She is taking the short end tn a losing ‘She recalled the Gill regime because It was rotten. She now is fprarencly in the grip of the devil's philosophy, which puts the dollar we decency, and is staking her best welfare upon a line of reasouing Which is not so wicked as {t is stupid.

Does this appear reasonable: That within 60 days after such nom — insurgent spirit, over the jength and breadth of this country, will concentrate in the forur of a new national party, probably called the progressive party?

Can the avalanche of popular progressive sentiment be in any way this year?
