Here is a reminder at a bargain price from New excursion Just an Instance What's the sense in talking about respect of law and courts when things like this happen: J. C. Kriess lived at Los Angeles with his wife, the latter 19 years. Along came one Claude Smith, who induced . Kriess to flee with him and enter a resort at San Diego. Kriess followed and pleaded with his wife to return to her home. ; The police arrested Kriess for pandering and put him in jail, despite all his protests. Mrs. Kriess’ testimony cleared Kriess. Then the police arrested Mrs. Kitiess for being a dependent child and now they're going to carry the question as to whether a married woman can be a dependent child through the courts. Smith? Oh thunder! Smith’s got away. There's no ques- tion as to Smith. The interest in the matter surrounds Kriess, who was perfectly innocent and got all the law could give} him, and Mrs. Kriess, who is to be put on trial for being a child. : Heaven help the innocent who fall into the clutches of present day American Justice! CHAUNCEY WRIGHT says times were twice as good in Seattle when he was in the restaurant business here 20 Years ago, as they are now, though wages were less than half} @s high as now. A restaurant meal never cost more than} two bits, and you could always pass up for a second helping. Food, you see, was plentiful, even if money was scarce. THE rich man says: “What Seattle needs is money.” Which is nonsense. Because— MONEY is not wealth. Put Jawn D. Rockefeller and) all his gold on a desert island. Let him sit on his mountain @f gold. Let him play with it, wallow in it, toss it and hear| ey clink. In a little while poor Jawn would starve to th.

Editor Star: Bob Hodge, the plain, straightforward man, pro- candidate for governor, Editor -Seattle Star: Since there bas appeared in the Seattie and Ta coma newspapers certain purported news items in regard to Thomas Grange, wherein it was reported that Thomas Grange disbanded on account of political activities and attack of C. B. Kegley on certain member of King County Grange, and since such report is wholly un- founded and there never was any such resolution offered or proposed as would indicate that there had ever been the slightest discussion of the question. And as Thom Grange had voted to meet on August 27th for the purpone of set- tling up the finances and to surren- der the charter fully one month be- fore Master Kegiey visited the grange, and Whereas, Such reports are not only doing an injustice to Master Kegley but a belittling of the peo- ple of Thomas Grange, we deem it an act of justice to record our- libelous attacks by giving Hodge | selves as saying that such report as more votes than all other candi-| published in the Seattle and Ta Made two speeches in Whatcom county last week, one at Blaine and one in Bellingham. The result of those two speeches is that the people—all except those who like a Arimmer and a tool—are for Hodge. He nailed every dirty lie and vi- cious slander that the special tn- terest press bas told, and every fair-minded, liberty-loving citizen who met or heard Hodge is now for him. Hodge took for his text at the Bellingham meeting a vicious editorial in one of the local papers, and, holding the sheet in his hand, Made the writers of the attack the object of contempt and pity of all decent men and women. We know Bob Hodge as a big, strong, honest, tender-hearted man —“aye, every inch a man”—and all the mud the crooked press has in its editorial sewers cannot harm Bob Hodge.
