COST OF WAR THE HUMAN COST, OF COURSE, IS THE BIGGEST ECIOUS. BUT AT THAT, YOU MAY DIN LEARNING IT HAS COST UNCLE SAM $100,000 A DAY TO KEEP THE FEW REGULARS IN| ME) PAST THREE MONTHS. SEE STORY ON PAGE VOLUME 19. SEATTLE, WASH., WEI WHEN Congressman William E. Humphrey of Seattle got up in the house of rep- resentatives the other day and brazenly denied he had anything to do with the purchase of the ‘“duck-pond”’ postoffice, he lied! Twitted by his colleagues in the house, Humphrey was probably angry enough to swear that black was white. But facts are facts, and when Humphrey declared he knew nothing of the Seat- tle postoffice deal, by which Uncle Sam got a lake for $169,500 instead of a post- office site, he deliberately lied—and he knows he lied—and his personal political organs knew he lied when they printed his statement. On August 21, 1911, Congressman Humphrey wrote a letter and signed it. It was ad- dressed to the treasury department, to the then assistant secretary of the treasury, who was a personal friend of Humphrey's. It was marked “Confidential.” FLIQUOR Mobilization of COL.“BILL” Men at American INGLIS IS | PACKED LakeBeginsToday BIG BOSS | IN SOFA Something About the Man Who Commands Second Regiment WHO AND WHAT HE 500 MEN STILL NEEDED TO BRING STATE FORCES TO WAR STRENGTH Five hundred more men are meeded to put the Washington state forces up to war strength.

He wrote further that he wanted “to see the matter go forward without delay, as I told you in our conversation.” That was Humphrey’s last letter on the subject before the “duck pond” was bought. As early as October 12, 1910, Humphrey wrote a letter to the treasury department ‘“‘concerning ugly rumors that were afloat” about the postoffice site. He asked that the matter be held in abeyance until he could see the officials personally. He had “some things to say which he could not write about,” he said in that letter. Humphrey’s own letters convict him of responsibility for the purchase of the postoffice mudhole. Humphrey is caught with the goods. AND HIS BARE- FACED LIES CANNOT SAVE HIM.
