Many Candidates Too “The republican party of the state of Washington is em ed by too many candidates for governor. Clark Savidge, one of the finest officers the state has ever had and assured from the start of general statewide support, out of the race when the track became crowded With candidates. We still have with us the former lieu- tenant governor, now governor, but his reception’ at the state convention’ at Bellingham certainly does not savoi of wide or popular support. | “There is Senator Coman of Spokane, John Gellatly of Wenatchee, our old militant friend Col. Roland H. Hartley of Everett, Col. George Lamping of Seattle and others In receptive mood. The line-up is to tt satisfaction of they . isan league, the triple alliance and radicals of every sort. With a crowded field like the above, republicans are more than likely to wake up the morning after the pri-| maries to find our radical friends have carried the primary. | The situation is, to say the least, menacing.

She, too, believes husbands and wives live separately and only meet upon appointments. Of course, both Miss Hurst and Miss Nesbit are pro-| women, capable of earning their own living, ana! t possibly even amassing enough of a fortune to take care of their old age. independence of man, is not at hand. _ But even if women were on an economic par with men, |} there would be a disparity when motherhood approached. } In that period, her economic equality would disappear—and so it is hardly conceivable that woman will be absolutely on an economic parity with the “stronger” sex. Yet, granting that the absolutely economic equality can be obtained at some future date, it is to be doubted if the Hurst-Nesbit matrimonial theories will become universal. Mankind has gone thru many experiences, but the mar- state and family life have been the one great in- * stitution that has survived all sorts of other changes. There is no substitute for family life. In the meantime, whatever the future may have in store for us, we know that the newfangled matrimonial ideas will not take a very strong hold in Seattle for some time— at least not until we have a good many more apartment houses and homes. Even as it is, we are short of dwelling Places. We certainly ~an’t vote to double the demand. The quickest way to bring gasoline down is to use a 1920 model walking stick. Mother Love The other day the news wires ceased clicking off the market reports, the baseball scores, the latest developments in politics and a myriad of other items long enough to send out a little story that read about like this: NASHVILLE, Tenn—-A mother's efforts for 17 years culminated in success today when Governor Roberts granted a pardon to Jesse W. Jones, ‘who was serving a life term in the penitentiary for murder, committed in 1903. Ever since her son was imprisoned, Mrs. Jones had made untiring ef- forte for his release, despite innumerable reverses large number of petitions and made many appeals to Tennessee's governors during the past 17 years. Seventeen years! Wonder if there is another person in the whole world who would have waged the long and weary - battle for the man behind the prison bars? Our scrap books are full of beautiful tributes to mother love in poetry and prose. Many of them were written by the most gifted authors in the annals of literature and the most famous men that history records. - Can any of them, couched in*their flowery language and enhanced by the: poet’s subtle art, pay a higher tribute to mother love than the little news story out of Nashville? a it be a reminder to you that Sunday is Mother's y- “Traffic chiefs visit Seattle,” says headline.
