EDITORIAL— a Smoke A smoky city is weuaeagal:: and’ in two ways. Tt costs the merchants thousands of dollars in damage to their stocks of goods. Tt costs the merchants of white goods, both cloth paper, thousands of dollars in loss of their materials, And smoke itself is an indication of a waste of fuel. When we see smoke pouring out of a stack it means that so much fuel is going out into the air in the form of gas, and from which no economic benefit has been derived. All this, to say nothing of extra laundry and cleaning bills to the household and the individual. and Pittsburg used to be the Smoky City. It is called that yet. But today Pittsburg is more free from smoke than Cleve- land, Cincinnati, Buffalo or nearly any soft coal burning And all this with three stee! mills practically in the down- town district. All this change in the city of Pittsburg was brought about by the smoke inspector and in a unique way. Tt was accomplished without one single arrest on the part of an offender, He appealed to the producers of atinke to check it as a saving measure—as a money saving measure. i. He demonstrated to them that smoke was the result of "too heavy and infrequent stoking. That the fire, the heat, was deadened by too heavy a hed of fuel.on top of the live coals—that the fuel was |, thus releasing the heat-producing gas unignited, passed out of the stack in the form of smoke. ‘ The smoke inspector of Pittsburg and his staff showed g tramen how to fire. ' They demonstrated to the owners of smoke offending eae the economy of two firemen where one was over- __ They urged the installation of automatic stokers in the institutions. Pittsburg smoke inspector did not say one word) t smoke nuisance, but appealed entirely to the sense} economy-—profit _ And all this seems to indicate that people can be made to be goodia great deal more easily and quickly by appealing to their selfishness than to their fear of punishment. every act of wrongdoing, every offense against pub- oth order, there is bad economy somewhere. | for every act of wrongdoing, every offense against good order, there is bad economy somewhere.

B.A) Drama Dead? No! Stage Is Fine Field for Girls With Brains, Says Actor SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 9.— Women are practically going to monopolize the speaking stage of the near future The theatre, therefore, is coming more and more to be an alluring field for the girl of brains and talent So says Arthur Byron, well known actor and star of “Tea for Three,” who is ace ing hia own verdict in guldin the destinies of his three ehildr: He is daughters Kate, 13, and Eileen, for a stage career. But Arthur, Jr, will prob ably punch cattle or pitch alfalfa, if papa Byron has his way-—being con. fined neither by a row of books nora row of footlights “He will have preparing his ® more chances at | success where he will not have to with women, and in our profession public preference ix swing. ox plained Byron The Oriental Menace The Seattle Star has taken up the fight ‘to curtail Japa- Nese immigration into this country. There are many things which point to the sanity of such a measure. If there is danger of the yellow race ever dominating this Western coast, now is the time to prevent it. The Japanese race _ Tultiplies rapidly and is very tenacious and insidious in its re and progress. If the Western coast is ever dominated the yellow race there is only a short step to its also ing a menace to the whole nation. ‘There certainly appears good reason for the apprehension in this case an ounce of prevention.is worth more than ound of cure. There can scarcely be any doubt but that co nflict will result if the present rate of immigration is aintained. The standard of living, the mode of thinking, sentiments, customs and habits of the two races are divergent and antagonistic that amalgamation would ruin if the yellow race should become dominant on coast. e Star is right in its contention that it is far better 5 prevent trouble now than it is to settle it later. The ucasian and the yellow races cannot mix without a , terrible conflict. The question now is how to prevent it. _ —Kitsap County Herald.

This is neither pleasant nor popular talk, 7 but it is true. Why not start a movement to do better work all around, and more of it? While we are swatting the profiteers and trusts, why not hand a few well-directed kicks to the loafer? Why not abolish the Saturday half-holi- day for six months, till we catch up? Why not suspend the labor laws for a period and allow a man, if he wants to, to work 10 hours instead of 8? Why cannot the American Federation of Labor declare a six-month truce, during / which no one shall strike? It would bring prices down more surely than any othe! measure, and to reduce prices does the worker as much good as to raise wages. At the end of six months we could go at cutting one another's throats again with renewed vigor.
