I have always thought that mind was power and perfection, but the oth- er day, when I was standing on the railroad tracks, gazing at the + rails 4 mile or so ahead, I thought Wo myself: “My mind tells me ‘thore rails are closer together There than here; yet I know that uch ts not the case.” Later I saw an aeroplane creep- slowly acrows the sky. Why my mind tell me that the plane moving slowly, when it was very fast? Why is it that one’s mind says that iand and sky meet? I have concluded that what I have been calling mind is not mind; or else mind is not perfect. Is the imper- feetion of mortals’ minds balanced by this quotation: one mind, God's perfection, God is all, therefore perfection ts all, and our imperfect brains, not our minds, are unreal.” Can you explain this? PUZZLED. . X . EAR MADAM: Infinite mind is doubt- less perfect; finite mind is, quite evidently, far from perfect; other- Wise, it would be infinite, too. Bverybody ts entitied to as many guesses as he desires as to what this little spasm called Iife is all bout, but probably this is as good @ guess as any—that each of us | here has a chance to start toward | perfection, toward the infinite; a start toward making of our minds something less animal and weak Bs than they were. And it isn't your mind that tells | you that the railroad tracks ap- . h each other; that's a sense . It ts your mind that Rives you the truth, that tells you the tracks remain ever equidis- . tant; it is your mind that corrects the error of your eyes, and ears, and fingers; that guides and guards you, ever reinforced by ex- perience, by intuition, by that in- nate power of reason that seta us apart from the beasts, The evidence you give to convict the mind of futility is really the best evidence in the World that the mind rises superior to error. Because, even when you see the tracks merge together, still you know that they do not. Some time your mind will, per- . haps, as readily sense the relation of the planets; will shoot like a comet thru space to the seventh here and perceive infinite truth, as you today sense material truth, despite the false evidence of your senses. If there be any sense in evolu tion, any justice in created orders and laws, some such progression must be made by each of us, tho seven million years will hardly be lift some minds from ) enough to | bondage 4 Meanwhile, if the real YOU | grows day by day, loses a little of i the load of doubt, of error, of i misery that all of us were bur- | dened with at our birth, why then YOU are making progress, and that’s all any of us can hope for. Mind, soul, heart, spirit—call it what you will—the essence, the entity that’s each one of us; it it progresses, it lives; if it loafs, it be- comes warped—maybe it dies. Time enough to bother about a perfection when we have infinity to attain it; just now, if we keep moving ahead, we are doing well enough o- . F I SAY I le and tell the truth, do I lie or tell the truth? What's the answer? Can one, then, be a and tell the truth? Mar \ If 1 lie, and say that I lie, then Tam telling the truth, am I not? So, then, a lie becomes the truth. And when I say that I am lying, in tact I am telling the truth, rath- €r than lying; but that means that Teally 1 am lying, doesn’t it?

Caldwell DESIRE to say that words can |= not express my gratitude for the | confidence which the people of this leity have by their vote expressed in my integrity and sincerity, and I desire to thank the thousands of my friends, known and unknown, who! have helped me in this campaign. ‘The bitterness that has been in jected into the campaign was not of my choosing; when attacked I have fought back. I have done my best in the past to show by actions my loyalty to the government, federal, state and city, and thie has been recognized by the people of this city. I have made no promises that I Will not earnestly endeavor to ful- cn. 1 have made no deals of any kind and I shall continue this course. I have offered my services to the, city of Seattle as its chief executive and my every endeavor will be to be mayor of all the people, and I invite all citizens who desire an impartial | and representative government, free from factional domination, to join | in supporting my election as mayor | on March 2. | By James A. Duncan! SPLENDID interest mani- feated by the citizenship of Se) attle in yesterday's ef) fectually dispeis all fear that might | have arisen in anyone's mind as to danger of apathy. ‘The result was a sweeping victory for the people of Seattle and a com-| plete vindication of labor. No per- sonality has been ejther glorified or humiliated, and the outcome is most hopeful for the future of Seattie. On the whole, Mr. Fitzgerald had & good record for councilmanic serv- ice, but unfortunately for him, to- gether with the excellent citizenship behind him, he had the backing of that element which has marked ev- ery candidate for ultimate defeat In addition to this, his was largely | ‘& negative campaign, simply empha- sizing what he was against. I sincerely trust that the two weeks immediately before us will be given over to @ discussion of what! the candidates in the final race are| for. | I desire to convey my heartfelt | appreciation to those who gave such | excellent support in the primaries to | the things for which I stand, and to| Erickson and Lane, also were nomi | tlousty, that great portion of our citizenship which tendered me such a respect- ful hearing wherever I went to ad-| dress them. My utmost endeavor | between now and March 2 will be| to reach the registered voters who have not yet become acquainted with either me or the things for which I stand, with the purpose in view of being rightly understood, upon which point the decision in the coming election binges. Congratulating the citizenship of| Seattle upon the outcome of yester-| day's primaries, and with utmost confidence for the future, Iam yours for a cleaner, better and happier Seattle. By C. B. Fitzgerald | WISH to take this opportunity to expreas my sincere thanks to the voters who supported me at the) polls yesterday. | Believing, that the real issue con fronting the people of Seattle now is Just what I said it was at the be ginning of the campaign—whether | we are to have real American gov ernment or government by and for a clas#—I hope all of the people who supported me in the primary will see their way clear to support Mr. Cald-| well at the general election, March | 2, and that a city council will be chosen which will represent all of/ | the people instead of a class. | MAYOR OFFERS — CALDWELL AID One of Mayor Fitzgerald's first acts when he arrived at his office Wednesday was to proffer hia sup: port to Major Caldwell in the com- ing election. Mayor Fitzgerald dictated the fol lowing letter: “Hon. Hugh M. Caldwell, “1323 Alaska Building, Seattle, “My Dear Sir—Believing that it is very important that you and a city council which will be representative of all the people of Seattle instead of | a class be elected March 2, I wish to tender you my support.

LOTS OF BETTING | ON ELECTION DAY | Sporadic wagering on the outcome | of the mayoralty contest was evident | during the campaign, but the real betting was done Tuesday. Lots of money was wagered that Fitzgerald would lead the ticket, coupled with a prediction that Duncan would be| eliminated entirely from the list of nominees.

This wos the first coincidence brought out by the state Wednesday |in its effort td prove the two defend janta guilty by circumstantial evi dence. The witness was Policeman C. Howald:, driver of the detectives’ motor car. Howaldt testified that he stopped his car at the curb some distance from the small park overlooking Lake Washington, in which the body was found and, with a party of de- tectives, walked across the park. WENT TO HOME TO COMPARE TREADS “Did you notice a small roadway circling thru the park nearby where the body lay?” asked Deputy Prose: cutor Patterson of the witness. “Yes,” said Howaldt “Did you notice any marks in the roadway?” “Yes. I noticed fresh automobile tracks. There were tracks of two makes of tires, There were tracks of a non-skid tire and a rib-tread tie.” “On a day or two after that did) you go to the home of Harry Fritschie?” “Whs there a car in the garage) there?” “Yes, an Essex car. The tread of the tires was similar to the marks in the roadway.” Every vestige of unconcern fied from the faces of the mother and son defendants when Deputy Prosecutor Patterson revealed for the first time the remarkable chain of circum: stances by which he said he expect- ed to prove them guilty.
