cane “That there should one man die ignorant who had ca- ' pacity for knowledge, this I call tragedy.” —Carlyle. From the Wedding Cloudland to ' the Divorce Pigsty Miss Violet Dove and Dr, Milo E. Hartman were mar- ried recently at Kansas City. : They wanted a “different” wedding—and they had it, They were united in the holy bonds while standing in the basket of one of the balloons which were starting in the great elimination race. As the preacher said “ man and wife! the great gasbag—we refer here to the balloon—was cut loose and shot up into cloudland. Rai At the end of a few hours, obeying the laws of gravitation, they descended, and—sad to relate—instead of alighting in — sylvan glen haunted by fays and dryads, they landed in a Og nt! ‘ many weddings are like that! It wasn’t so very “dif- ferent,” after all. They start in the unstable basket of a bal- loon, and they soar for a short time into the cloudland of ec- stasy. The clouds are beautiful, but they are much more agree- able when looked at from a distance t when used for pur- poses of ig, ae For one thing they are damp, They are also cold hey chill the warm and generous enthusiasms which thrill those standing in the basket before the word is iven, “Turn her loose!” The dampness makes the balloon Raenr. The gas of courtship leaks out. The law of gravita- tion pulls down toward earth, ate ‘And when the earth of common life is reached, so many of the poor creatures find themselves in the pigsty of the divorce court! The cloudland of the honeymoon should be a part of the life of every boy and girl. But can’t we all do something to make their landing on the common earth, where people work, more certain to be safer and cleaner? The coming down is the crisis. And the mutual confidence and trust, and the charac- ters that make trust and confidence inevitable are, after all, the things that insure against the pig-pen finale. As to Our Immigration Laws Isn't it funny how our immigration laws work? A few days ago a little 10-year-old Scotch girl came to New York with her grandmother. She was refused admission. The law says girls muSt be accompanied by their parents. Not having any parents, she could not comply with the law, so must go back to Scotland. Our great republic was protected from the possibility of harboring a pauper. While this was going on’at New York, the immigration law was working differently at another place. These other workings were first noticed at Lawrence, Mass., where, a few months ago, there was a strike of mill operatives. New faces began to appear at Lawrence. They were dark, negro-like es. There were several hundred of them. Investigation developed the fact that they are the begin- ning of a new stream of immigration, which was easily traced from Lawrence to New Bedford and from New Bedford to the Cape Verde islands. On these islands dwell a race of people who speak a dialect of Portuguese and who are de- fscendants of the early Portuguese settlers, crossed with the dark-skinned natives who were reduced to slavery by the ad- venturers who exploited the New World discoveries. These dark-skinned laborers, descendants of slaves, are cheaper than the Portuguese and 26 other alien tribes previ- ously brought to Lawrence from Southern Europe to work in the tariff-protected mills. They are cheaper and more igno- fant. They have not learned abowt such things as strikes, and they are not troubled about maintaining the high standard of living of the American workman, which is such an inspiration to the politician on the stump defending the American protec- tive tariéf system. But the immigration law? Isn't it funny how it works? Observations SUGGESTION for a nuisance ordinance: stop barking at umpty a. m. Make purps WHAT an icy shiver must have gone over those passen- pers when the Allen liner last week struck an iceberg a glancing Ww. HEE, HEE! “Josh” Billings challenges “Put-the-Clamps- on-the-Spokane-Armory-Affair” Hay to debate which of the "two is the bigger standpatter. DON’T let all this political excitement cause us to forget , the all-important Society mandate that straw hats must be shelved on September 1. . TWO attorneys in Seattle made motions to strike at the same time. Such a case, it seems, is not governed by legal rules, but by stout canes JUST so as not to be outclassed by “Josh” Billings, David Perry Rice ought to come through with some sort of challenge to Wiil E. Humphrey now. _ SEPTEMBER 7—that’s the day of the progressive party primaries. Keep the date in mind. Go to the polls then and choose the best men for each office AFTER reading about the ex-convict who reformed and became an excellent city councilman in Philadelphia, there are some people mean enough to say that maybe some other offi- cials would also make good officials after a prison term, A WEEK ago today the gentleman from Oyster Bay an- nounced that he was going to devote the whole week to resting up for the hot political battle. Three days later Colonel Teddy vhad opened the campaign in Massachusetts. A whole week evidently looked like too strenuous a rest. “LIFE is a game of cards. hearts are trumps. Some play for pleasure—then Others play for power, and clubs are trumps. Still others play for profit, when diamonds must be trumps. But we must remember that the time will come when spades will be trumps, and those spades will dig our graves.” —Father Bernard Vaughan of London, in Seattle today TAMALES CHILE CONCARNE 1411 Grd Av. he OPEN 1190 A, M §. 8.
