The Tacoma Times, which alone against the field carried Pierce county for Senator Poin- dexter, is one of Hodge’s most aggressive backers. In an recent editorial The Tacoma Times said: The Hay standpatters are getting worried about Bob Hodge, the people's candidate for governor The Hay gang img Johnny Lawrence and a few other dummies in the race flor governor and hoped that Hodge would be so busy swatting the dummies that he would overlook Hay, the putty man But) Hodge refuses to pay any attention to the dummies Hodge, as the Spokesman of the people, insists on telling things about} Hay. were robbed of their rights to say whether they wanted Taft or Roosevelt by Hay who acted on the advice of his directors, Hodge insists that the people of this state should not blame the crooked national committee for stealing the Washington dele- gates for Taft, but they should put the blame where it belongs, w M.

Yes, the gang is worried and so the standpat organs are resorting to ridieule of Bob Hodge, but Bob thrives on ridicule from the gangsters.

[Wonders of the World | | Remember the old-fashioned book we used to have when} we were kids that told us all about the seven wonders of the ancient world and gave us fancy and fanciful pictures of the same? Those ancient wonders were a useless lot of junk so far as buman happiness was concerned. The Egyptian pyramids, the hanging gardens of Babylon, the temple of Diana of esus, the Colossus of Rhodes and all the rest of them were no good to the common man. In fact, they represented his Sweat and tears. Popular Mechanics recently asked 1,000 eminent scholars and scientists of the whole world to pick out what they deemed the seven modern wonders of the world and here is the result: ” Wireless telegraph, telephones, aeroplanes, radium, anti Septics and antitoxins, spectrum analysis, X-ray. Now notice the difference. After all we do live in a better world. Instead of our modern wonders meaning suffering for someone, they are largely concerned with the relief of suffering. Instead of making vast masses unhappy, they are concerned with the well-being of the race. ‘The wireless telegraph that enabled part of the Titanic’s passengers to be succored and the antitoxin that saved one little child from a horrible death by diphtheria are worth more than all the wonders of the ancient world have ALL men may be born free and equal, but most of ‘em get married.

(Washington Correspondent of The Star.) WASHINGTON, D, C., July 31.—Attorney General Wickersham has added his influence to that of the railroads which are seeking to secure @ court review of orders made by the Interstate commerce commission He has written a letter endorsing the law recommended by Representa- tive Adamson and his democratic colleagues of the house committee on interstate commerce, which law seeks to give the railroads an appeal to the courts when the commission makes an order forbidding advances in railroad rates. the democratic leaders in the house and the republican attorney general are found acting together in the interest of big business. 8 « There {6 something refreshing in the frank way in which Senator Heyburn voices the high tariff, Tory attitude of his kind of public man. In discussing the proposed reduction on wool for carpets and clothing, Heyburn was making his usual objection, In the Congressional Record of July 24, page 10148, he makes this answer to the plea in behalf of cheaper coats for the poor man: “You talk about the poverty of the people who cannot buy coats or have carpets on their floors. They are of small consequence as com- pared with those who are actually engaged in this enterprise.” SR ree’ * Republican leader Mann and democratic leader Underwood are in accord in their declared belief that congress should pass legislation giv- ing water power companies perpetual grants to use the power developed ae “Mamma, poodle?" “No, dear; you are too little and too careless, But you may carry the baby a little way.” may carry the my little man?* friends.
