Phone Main 0400 Gambling Joints Running Wide Open! Who Is Getting the Graft? ing ii i in Seattle. The police ki it and have known it for weeks and monthhs—AND SOMEBODY IS GETTING SOME RICH GRAFT OUT OF IT. , a deg ay be abr alien a well svbelde Velie wep, They are still running. Policemen on the beats couldn’t miss these places. They know they are there. Sergeants of police know of them, and higher officials know of them. It is no secret in the police department. But they have not been closed up. WHY? Gambling conditions in Seattle today are worse than they have been in years.’ Chief Lang's statement that there is less gambling now than ever before is ridiculous. There is absolutely no excuse for public gambling. It is ruinous to private families and to the city in general. It is ruinous financially—except to those who run the games and those It is ruinous morally. who get graft for police protection. Unless: somebody is getting graft, these gambling joints couldn’t run a day with police knowledge. But they are running. IF NEEDED HE war department, in view of menacing con- ditions, is starting an inquiry to ascertain from the various arms manufacturers what supplies, if any, their European contracts will leave for the use of Uncle Sam in case of need—which milk and water method may be constitutional but unsafe. A little autocracy would come in handy. Every gun and every pound of war material that any pri vate plant in this country can turn out, belongs to the government, contract or no contract, IF IT BI NEEDED. Tell em so, Uncle Sam! AN IRONY JOKE W HEN twins were born to Dr. J. L. Marks, of Lake Park, la., friends got together and pre- sented him with an iron cross, as a joke. By golly! we don’t see the joke. It should have been two iron crosses, without any ha-ha sentiment in either of them. Two more mouths to feed! However, maybe Mrs. Marks is going to do the feeding for a time.

Which black SCOTT SOME DIPLOMAT [F THE result of Gen, Scott's little heart-to-heart chat with Villa in El Paso, Tuesday, is to be accepted a criterion, then the Pan-American alliance has chosen wisely in selecting him as its agent in bringing the fighting Mexican factions to terms, General Scott's diplomacy appears to be most effective. TEXAS A BULWARK FIT as wasn't for the memories of '36, we would feel considerable uneasiness regarding the Fexas situation, But it is quite likely Texas can take care of herself, even if Gen. Funston can only rake up an army of 12,000 men for border service. For long years it has been an open secret that the Mexicans are possessed of the belief that they can whip the United States without difficulty, if only Texas was not in the way. That feeling can't be wiped out in a day. San Jacinto has not been forgotten, by any means. !A Married Man’s Troubles NES Tom, AND | PUT ' TT RIGHT Back IN YouR DRAWER wHEeRe 1} FOUND IT_— oR ~ WELEN, Dip You WINDOW SILL Look on THe KiTcheN SHELF -OR ON THE SOMEBODY ELSE’S HOUND ARRANZA expels the Brazilian minister and declines to recognize the Guatemalan envoy.
