The By mall, owt $5.08, tw ee per month; # mentha, #1 Met mont Seattle Sta cw ” year oot the ata Dy carrier, etty, Punttened Patty by The tar Oe Mal Pubtioning Pre. yearn, There can be no doubt that the people of Washington, if the matter were left to ~ them, would disbar T. S. Newberry from the U, S. senate seat which he spent $200,000 _ to obtain. This being so, Senators Jones and Poindexter have just one right course ahead of ‘them when the matter comes to a vote, They must stand against Newberry, against old guard which is trying desperately to retain the Detroit millionaire in their t d vote to keep him Senator out. Jones once earned himself the disagreeable title of “Senator Wesley LORI- 1R Jones” when he stood with the reactionary crowd that would have kept the Illinois in the senate, In the case of Stephenson he got around on the side of civic and pure elections and voted to oust the Wisconsin vote-buyer. Senator Poindexter is now on his way back to this state, fearful, some of his polit- friends admit, of the outlook for next year when he must stand for re-election. well may be fearful if he carries out the intention with which Washington dis- cl say the senate old guard credits him—an intention to vote FOR Newberry. perhaps their guess is wrong. Perhaps Poindexter has no such idea. In any event will be well if every Washington citizen who sees him on the forthcoming visit brings the point that NEWBERRY SHOULD BE OUSTED. And the same goes for Senator Jones. A flood of letters on the subject might swing into line, in case he happens to be a bit off, as the old guard claims. Washington not be put in the position of indorsing election corruption. mo matter the may say about it, and be broadened to include Asia and the rest of the mankind will be weil on rt i s j t UE “F ert rag Road Opens New Beauties The Pierce county coal mining hamlet of Fairfax is rejoicing in the completion of a new highway that connects it with Tacoma, Se attle and the rest of the Sound region, Heretofore a rig-eagging branch of the Northern Pacifle railway with notoriously bad service was its only artery te the outside, Palrfax is to be congratulated, but much more so is the whole of Western Washington to be con- gratulated, For this Fairfax road the shire.

BARTON } B have bgen hear. ing mich for the last year or| more about the Pilgrim fathers. The world has heard more or| less about them for 200 years. Well, this ts) the anniversary | of the day on which they land: | ed at Plymouth Rock. It was Monday, ii, as they reckoned it, but Decem- ber 10, according to our corrected chronology, when the ehallop tied up @t the rock. Their first landing had been at what is now Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, on Saturday, No- vember 11, exactly a month before. ‘The earlier days of the intervening Month they spent in explorations on foot, while the ship's carpenter was getting the shallop ready for them to make their longer exploration December | But this day, December 21, 1620, was that on which the nose of the shallop bumped against Plymouth Rock and the first Pilgrimn set foot upon that interesting boulder which | President Harding helped to replace last summer in its original location. Parents to Blame In a Detroit court, the jodge was about to sentence a young man for larceny, The youth's mother stepped forward and, as suming probation respensibility, said, “I spoiled him as a child. 1, not he, am to blame. I should pay the penalty.” Parenthood is the most serious Tesponsibility that comes inte any- one's life, The neglected child, later @ failure or a criminal, ‘tan fre quentiy thank bis father of mother for his predicament. Even an optimist con't cc muck fun in missing a street car. It's easy to learn figures on @ windy corner. It's never too late to spend. Vast Market Awaiting Us Herein U.S. BY AMATEUR ECONOMIST A billion-dollar home market is produced every time each per. fon in the U. & epends $9.09. A little more than $30 spent on the average, and a market ie pro duced equal to our tetal foreign trade. If each person in the U. & pent 10 cents more each day than he does spend, it would give un an added continuous home market equal to our for elgn market. Five million men are out of work. If each were earning and spending $1,000 this year, it would make a market of $6,000,- 000,000 During the year they would have produced at least $4,000,- 000,000 worth of wealth, enough to pay thelr own wages and a considerable retumm @n capital employed, giving more freight, more dividends (or leas deficits) for our railroads, profits for shoe manufacturers, clothing dealers, and more demand for farm prod uct, ~ Tt looks an tho the surest way to get back a market for our goods is to develop our home market so that we may increase each person's purchasing power & little and give work to the idia. Henry Ford seems to realize that good wagen makes more business, that he can't sell a car unless the man has the money to pay for it. And ien’t this true of all business? It looks a9 tho good wages were an em. ential to the manufacturer as to the laborer, From Candies That Burn (George 11 Doran & Co.)
