Kempster of the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Co. tells the city to go to a warm climate. Kempster is very blunt about it. Evidently he doesn’t > read the advertisements his publicity agents write, for his > way of talking is altogether different from the suave, sweet- "toned, love-the-people conversation peddied in those ads. = The city has asked for common user privileges at the King st. loop and over the West Spokane bridge, over which the Lake Burien line is to be operated. _ Kempster’s written reply yesterday is that the company will give the city nothing—absolutely nothing, reasonable "of unreasonable, unless the franchise specifically provides | for it. ' Kempster’s tone is curt and dictatorial, He says the city has no right to common user on the King st. loop. He won't consider that. And even where the city has the of common user without any question, Kempster makes in that he will demand as high a compensation as pos- for the privilege. Kempster does not want to meet the city half way. We always did have a hunch, Kempster, that those glib press agents of yours were out-and-out liars. The Chicken Age YH, you chicken!” : That's what somebody shouted at Mrs. Joe Know- ‘tend while she was making a speech to advocate Joe’s cam- for the California senatorship, and it caused the lady remark: “If the club women would push forward their younger, ier ones—the ones who would probably be called ‘chick- '—they’d get what they want.” Mrs. Knowland’s idea is that if a matured, not to say | homely, woman mounts a soap box to shout logic or politics, men will pass her by uninterested, whereas, if it’s a young and comely woman who is doing the shouting, the men will juse, forgetting their lunch, home and country and things that. To put the thing more expressively, a hen is a hen, a chicken is something else However, Mrs. Knowland should be after that U. S. sen- ftorship for herself, and not for Joe. In cheerful acceptance ithe term “chicken,” Mrs. Joe shows that she’s progressive up to date and there’s no bucking against her advice to mone save “chickens” on guard when you want some- » while Joe is as reactionary as a pair of cowhide boots. he Woman of the Future GERMAN professor, a bachelor, we bet, says the woman of the future will be cold of feet, flat of ure, wrinkled and bald Glad he puts it so far away.
