\ Sue Stone & Webster, or Else Subside! That’s the Message of Judge Ronald’s Decision for Our Camouflaging Mayor “TUT UP OR SHUT UP!” In the parlance of the street, Judge Ronald’s street car decision Wednesday means just that. Political shysters, calamity howlers and persons of uncertain motive in this street railway controversy must either come out in the open now or be silent. Back-handed, indirect methods, calculated to stab the street cars in the back, while the smile of Judas ee the stabbers’ lips, won’t go. a hurled into Seattle’s ears by the ay peer ag professed one thing while trying to do another, could not fool Judge Ronald. .

The court has challenged his methods as incapable of making out a case. For the recent suit of 14 “taxpayers” was the may- or’s suit. It grew out of the mayor's grand jury report, by the mayor’s agent, who uncovered nothing, and tried to put the “nothing” over. ‘The attémpt showed its own weakness by its continual shifting of ground. Caldwell insinuated corruption in the street car deal and got himself elected. id Later he took possession of the grand jury sessions and got that body to report that, altho there was no corruption, there was probably fraud and misreprésentation in the making of the contract of purchase.

Take before the courts all the evidence that may be ac- cumulated to show that junk was saddled on the city by deception, and ask the courts to fix a fair price for the junk or relieve city entirely of its unjust burden. The whole city will he! If there is no such belief—if you have not the nerve to make a point of that issue—then, in the name of fairness and honesty, quit jabbering, quit insinuating, quit lying. You've got to do it, Mr. Caldwell. The court has smash your last effort to “hit below the belt.” In all these attacks on\ the street railways, HONESTY has lagged behind until, by force of elimination, it is all that is left for you to use. It is ALL THAT IS LEFT, Mr. Caldwell.
