nam OF THR BUY SEATTLE MADE GOODS. THAT'S A GOOD INVESTMENI Bonds for the People ID you note that, in the Poindexter proposition for de velopment of Alaska, Uncle Sam is given @ chance to juterest the small investor? Bonds are to be issued in denominations of $20. This means that every person who saves $20 a month, ) ora year, can become a stockholder in a great national com y¥ without the slightest risk of loss and with a dividend Piatarest) coming regularly, without fail It is something in the way of a departure, and may signify the initiative in a tremendous change in national finan tial policy. F Heretofore, Uncle Sam has relied upon borrowing money through bonds, from the banks and other concentrations 0! capital, and even offered special inducements to attract the loans, : Under this proposed plan, Uncle goes right to the people Since banks are creatures of Uncle's creation and subsist on the people's money, it is remarkable that he has not done this long ago, but he is fast awakening to the fact that he can do his own business better and more safely than the con-| cerns to whom he has been relegating it. No bank has sounder security than U. S. bonds, but we have recently seen an attack on U. S. bonds by private capital organized in Wall st. in which valuation of certain 2 per| fent bonds was lowered. | This was possible because a clique held the greater part | of the bonds. | They held them simply because they were issued in Jarge denomination and only organizations could buy them. | Such things would not be possible if the bonds were held | by the people at large, for, you know, bonds are merely the people’s promise to pay, and people do not lower their own fredit. Some municipalities have already tried this plan of issu- fng bonds of low denomination : People are learning that a bond which all the property in| a@ community backs is the safest investment on earth, | Communities don’t “bust,” nobody runs away with a com- munity and the directors and stockholders in a community are the people themselves. But there is another good feature about this new prop osition. It brings the people and their government closer together. The fellow with a $20 U. S. bond is going to feel | that he is a part of the U. S. and he is apt to take a higher thinking-part in what the U. S. does. | It tends toward a stronger democracy. | WE NOW rise to remark that the street speakers are grievously | tm error when they charge Judge Humphries with a desire to monopo | Wize speech.

Hut if old President Monroe had ever dreamed a thing like the tango was coming out of South America, he never would have written the Monroe doctrine, elther words or music. Brazil gives us coffee, Peru gives us Lima beans and Mexico gives us hades, But they never did anything to us like Argentina when she let loose that hoof-toaser. If the elty gink should flee to some mountain recess, he will find that the tango has preceded him. The sturdy mountaineers are risk- Sla Bent to let a parrot talk to its heart's content? John D. Rockefeller at 75 NCLE JOHN D., chipper as a boy on his Forest Hill links at 75, has, a eulogist announces, made, for research hospitals, education and “the general od of mankind,” do- mations which now approximate $145,000,000. It’s nice of him, spite of all the folks say—don’t you honestly think so? For he might, you know, have stuck it in some secret hole in the ground, where it wouldn't have done him, us or anybody a bit of good. Or, were he the bold, scheming, wilfully bad man that some folks think he is, he might have spent it sending poisoned candy through the mails or abducting little children. _ If one man is to have $145,000,000, with something over for his rainy day, we guess he couldn't do much better with it than Uncle John has done. If you think he could, we wish you'd write and tell us how. For a lot of fellows have superfluous for- tunes which are beginning to be uncomfortable and it might do them good to let them know improved ways of getting rid of the burden. Besides, feeling sore at John D. is neither fair nor effec- ‘Rive. John is as he is because he is built that way, It’s our fault quite as much as his—we think rather more than his— that he has been permitted to assess so many of us so much as he has until the wad got too big for him to carry and he had to scatter some of it back among the poor devils whose industry, patience and docility made its collection by him possible. With it all he’s not any happier than you or us. Bet fyou he’s not half as happy as we are; and at that we don’t/ wish him any ill luck. | AND NOW is the time of the year to Impress upon the council that Beattie ought not to be stingy with its band concerts In the public parks. Now is the time to look out for next summer. A Peril Brought Home HE recent death of two rich leaders of society in New York in an automobile collision with a fast train on an unguarded grade crossing on Long Island promises to have more effect toward abolishing such death traps than scores of humbler killings, of which the world has heard little For a tragedy in their own circle brings home to the directors of our railroads the peril in the operation of swift trains at grades across busily traveled intersecting highways Yet life was not more sweet to S. Osgood Pell and William Laimbeer, multimillionaire brokers, than to Mike O'Toole, hodcarrier, and Felix Levinsky, pack peddler, run down by the iron horse quite as ruthlessly some months before. And while Pell and Laimbeer will be mourned in their fine homes no doubt as keenly as O'Toole and Levinsky in humbler abodes, there will be this difference: In the fine homes the visitation of the angel of death will not take from any inmate a crust of bread, but in the humbler abodes, to sorrow will be added the frightful problem of non-support for the wives and orphaned children. Yes, life is sweet; all life. Therefore let’s be more care- ful how we protect it. LONDON TIMES says: “What is potent to the least observant is that women wear almost nothing under their owns, even in daytime.” With editors posted like that, it’s no wonder that London women go to jail singing hymns of joy. THAT NEW JERSEY judge has reduced the sentence of Pat Quinlan, I..W. W. leader, from a year to 10 days. Says he put on the heavy sentence “to demonstrate the majesty of the law.” The majesty that has to be cuffed into a majestic attitude must be pretty wobbly majesty. “KEEP THE Bench clean and so it wants the bar associations to select the judges. believe that that old cleaner is full of punctures.” WE DEMAND direct cable confirmation of the report that a London suffragette hit Lioyd-George’s hat with a brick.
