Tremont Bide, Holier Than Thou! ND now it breaks out in Kans The ministers of Kansas City have banded to aid in the defense of one of their number, Rey, Baxter Waters, who dared in his pulpit to criticise the courts for “loose methods in dealing with criminals.” Judge Thad Landon of the circuit court haled the pastor befere him and upbraided him severely. At that, it is hardly to be expected that the free speech guaranteed us by the constitution will have a chance in the Kansas circuit court when federal judges in Toledo, 0., and New York city put such “holier than thou” notions into the heads of other judges as they have recently, Magnus Johnson, booed by the bankers because he told them the truth about (axes, now has a way to beat the heeklers, He'll boom his Views by radio. Now maybe we'll get some after-dinner speeches the Will keep the diners awake, fs Save the Museum Re EATTLE’S famous museum, housed in the old Forestry 4 building at the University, is fast deteriorating. Already the structure has been closed to the public and condemned, and many of those who have loaned collec- tions are withdrawing them. Officials are cataloging the remaining collections, get- ting ready to move them. But there are as yet no pros- pects for a suitable place to move them. Steps should be taken immediately to house the museum properly else Seattle will lose the finest collection of Specimens in the Northwest. A perturbed Individual asks one of the newspaper doctors If a person “who plays a saxophone can catch cancer.” While we are not the doctor addressed, we hasten to reply, with confidence, that he cancer, and it serves him right. Heed the Fire Siren ‘HERE have been several narrow escapes from serious accidents recently because motorists and the crews of Street cars fail to heed the warning siren of speeding fire apparatus. ) The most recent was at Union and Seventh when, after the way had been cleared for a heavy aerial truck speed- “ing down the Sevetith ave. hill, a motorman ran his street ' car straight into the path of the truck. It \ thru » a miracle that a crash was prevented. | Heavy fire apparatus, which must of necessity go § 4 speedily, cannot be stopped at street intersections with the ' Same ease that an ordinary auto can. The sirens, which are sufficiently loud to be heard blocks in advance, should be sufficient warning. | It’s the duty of every citizen to stop the minute he hears | such a siren, and to wait until the apparatus has passed.

The Weather “IWEGINNING about the time of the birth of Christ, a the world had very wet weather for several cen- turies. Then came a dry spell that lasted 600 or 700 ‘ears. Weather fluctuates in long cycles. At present it as if at least the middle latitudes of our Northern isphere are slowly passing out of a dry period that “has prevailed for the past 200 years or more. So says the authority, Dr. Willis Luther Moore, in “The New Air forld.” _ Much of our weather originates somewhere In the Far orth. So weather observations up there will be the most valuable feature of the coming airplane and dirigible - flights over the North Pole. ‘The Lodge faction of the senate evidently thinks Bok is guilty of contempt of court or something just as devilish. And contempt of court usually consists of disagreement with those in power. With Our Last Dollar T an Ohio college recently, it was reported that : sophomore men had decided not to shave during ex- _ amination week, and women students not to use cosmetics, _ the idea being that they could concentrate better if they e didn’t devote any mental effort to beauty. __ Now, that might be all right theoretically with a Hindu hermit delving into mysticism. We can’t vouch for wom- = en and the personal effect they get from beautifying. | But we believe that a shave and a haircut, in addition to stimulating self-respect, also stimulate the processes of the brain. That’s where oyr last dollar would go, if “broke.” Joining with the economic experts, Senator Caraway is predicting hard times for autumn—no, we mean Fall.

But now it seems, in old Seattle town, they’ve gone and turned {t rather upside down; for January lost its chilly snap, and Spring has sat kerplunk in Winter's lap! No longer do our little tootsies freeze; the paper says It's forty-nine degrees. But when we take a walk along the street, our winter undies suffer with tho heat; and thea, unless we travel mighty slow, we fee! as if it's eghty-nine or 80, But every rose, they tell us, hos a thorn; ana springy ‘weather makes a few forlorn. Fo: 1 imagine fuel dealers rave about the wood and coal it Its us save; while I musty answer forty times a day, “It's Candy winter weather, ain't it, hey?” And Winter shouldn't get a ‘it of praise for handing out these balmy springy days. As always, there’s a woman in the case, and Gentle Spring is in the Leap Year race; she's picked hor man and now she sets her trap—and makes a grab for Mr. Winter's lap!
