Those same people that put their names oF Foape recall meio, thoughtless of the expense to whic’ they are putting on their own shoul- ders and their neighbors at the same time. Any legal voter should know an expense it means to our city treasury. That means you Workingmen and woren. - 1 am sure that there will be a @reat many recallers regret ever putting their signatures on that pe- tition. I believe the recall law is good if used properly, We should not a@buse a good thing. Protect our privilege. Respectfully, ERNEST PETERSEN, Van Asselt, Wash.

Dear Editor: Now that the day Of the straw ballot is past can we Sot turn our energies to the settling Of important questions for our pres- fdent-clec For instance, let us se a suitable cabine' For sec- fetary of state, W. J. Bryan, whose ability and wide experience in pub- Ne affairs and as leader of a great democracy, make him an {deal chief adviser for the president. For at- torney general, Louis Brandeis, Whose outspoken stand in favor of Justice and fair dealing for poor, equally with rich, is surety that with him there would be no com- Promise with special interests. For @ecretary of the interior, Eugene V. Debs, whose well-known position before the public makes certain, as far as the business of his depart- mont has to do with the welfare of the whole people, that the people's best interests will be faithfully perience and sterling honesty to fill that important position. For secre- tary of commerce and labox Sam- uel Gompers, whose nation-wide ex- perience In connection with labor problems, as labor's representative and chosen leader, would be of im- menae value to that bureau, For sec- retary of agriculture, F. D. Coburn, at present secretary of the depart- ment of agriculture of Kansas, prob- ably the best qualified man for the work in the country. For secretary of the treasury, Josoph Fels of Phil- adelphia, who, having acquired a large fortune im the manufacturing business, Is spending great sums in advancing the cause of direct legis lation, and in exposing the injustice and fraud of the protective tariff. Now for the war and navy depart- ments, suppose we make a change, bringing both under one manage- ment, and placing in which Gen. Goethals, whose splendid achieve- the construction of the Panama canal entities him to first consideration where a man of abil- ity as executive and engineer is needed. And, instead of having the army and navy perform thetr pres- ent worse-than-useless functions, let them be organized for the pur- pose of reclaiming, throogh irriga- tion, drainage and the clearing of logged-off land, the vast areas of now useless land. A fraction of the wealth and energy that have been spent on the useless trappings of militarism would have made the lower Missis- sippi valley secure from the terrible lows of life and property caused by floods in recent years; d also gone far toward the completion of a modern system of harbors and waterways for our principal sea- port towns, BE.

We have been telling you from time to time that this reorganized store has been and is grow- ing faster than any other department store in Seattle. There are good reasons for it—we are merchandising right-—-we are neither hoodwinking our patrons, nor handing out buncombs to the buying public—the sincere, truthful words of our advertising message have caught and held the popular confidence of the people—we are selling merchandise of well-known merit at prices that are getting new customers for us every day, be- sides holding the old ones that have tried us out. THIS SALE HAS BEEN FORCED UPON US By our department managers, who have been be- sieging us day after day for more room, as our present quarters are taxed to the limit. During the past two months we have been receiving from foreign steamers landing at Seattle and from the trans-continental railroads hundreds of cases of holiday goods, and they are not nearly all in yet. With so little available space we don't know where we can put them ‘unless we rent additional stor- age outside, You all know rents are rents in Seattle, and that to rent space without selling space increases the cost of our merchandise, so in- stead of renting more storage space we have de- cided to give our customers a GREAT BENEFIT BY REDUCING ‘PRICES AND REDUCING STOCKS IN THE WAY OF A GREAT ROOM-MAKING SALE That will bring us new business—new faces and friends to this fast-growing store. Besides we will simply be giving to our patrons what we would otherwise be paying for additional storage space. DO YOU CATCH THE POINT?
