You couldn't expect to play with fire all the time and not get burned. You've been doing if ever since you took office. And heretofore you have only succeeded in scorching the people who put you in office, whose servant you are sup- posed to be—whose interests you are supposed to guard. You have stung them good and plenty at every turn. You gave them a rotten deal on that Clapp docksite grab, you misled them on the courthouse bond issue, you outraged them on the crematory contract, you scandalized them at every turn of the lane. You fooled one grand jury. They knew you were a tricky politician and that your stock in trade was “log rolling” schemes, But you hoodwinked them, particularly the foreman of that grand jury, into glossing over the shady side of your public conduct. You fooled the grand jury, but you've well nigh exhausted the patience of the public You can't fool the people all the time, you know. And nbw ygu've gone the limit in this malodorous courthouse lighting contract deal when you forced the people to pass up their own lighting plant and turn over WASH., MONDAY, DECEMBER 15 fF 19134 The SeattleStar THE ONLY PAPER IN SEATTLE THAT DARES TO PRINT THE NEWS ONE CENT U’RE NEAR THE END OF YOUR ROPE, LAFE! $4,000 worth of business a year to the private electric company.
