Alexander reached Seattle Monday morning with a nger list of only 25 per cent of her capacity. Coinci- ent, came the report that the Pacific Steamship Co. had to transfer the “H. F.” from the California-Seattle to the Honolulu service. While representatives of the steamship company said was no foundation for the report, jt doesn’t require y sharp lead pencil to figure’out the length time a steamer with the Alexander's operating over- ead would be continued on a run with passenger lists Tike Monday's. Of course, this is the steamship company’s business, jut it happens also to be Seattle's business, because the ny and Seattle have mutual interests. California folks swelter during the summer. They have a little of the Pacific Northwest and of the refresh- and altogether delightful vacation days possible on na nd. sound. Phey’ve been invited to come, but recent arrivals from interior cities say they have heard of no particular on the part either of the steamship companies or sound cities. The Coast cities of California have invaded by Seattle and other Northwest cities and charms of this region have been made known to But that’s like carrying coals to Newcastle. Cali- coast cities say they have summer climate and ing that goes with it, for sale. the interior it’s very different. There they lay no claim to summer resort honors, with the excep- of some of the mountain resorts. They're willing able to come to Seattle, those California people.

The Way We “Enforce” Prohibition From an issue that was dead and buried to the livest in town and nation the “prohibition” issue jumped over night. Yesterday bootleggers and moral squads ‘were minding their business in peace, and the public was baseball. Today an astounded citizenry wakes up discover that a nation-wide poll indicates it wants it wine and beer. Suppose we decided to abolish the use of opium in America and we would enact this sort of a law: “It shall, within 18 months, be unlawful to manufac- eed sell opium in these United States, except as ‘ ter provided. “All private stocks of opium on hand when this act itegtve ial | be legally retained by private you can purchase a bed of such “All opium in bonded warehouses shall be sold only on 5 P aN a 4 gee. mit of the prohibition office, LM | oi ee : olesale druggists may withdraw opium, and retail uggists may sell opium in aatvaiee. packages on a rap = ar oe foctor’s prescription; {t need not be shown that the pa- rie oper erik fent acutely requires opium, he must only have a pre- the low price is the fact that this is a Simmons Bed.
