EVENTEEN years ago a woman looked over her city and s She saw the blind, the halt, the deaf and she imbecile cared for, the poor looked after, the outcast helped up. But for the crippled child there was no help. So the woman started the Children’s Orthopedic hos- ital. For.17 years the hospital. never has said* any- ing bat. “We !” to any child needing help. It never asked the child's religion or cared whether it was white, black, brown or yellow. Tn the 17, years the hospital has cared for 7,000 crip- pled children. Hundreds of lives have been saved; hun- dreds of maimed babies built up into sturdy, physically- perfect men and women. : Last year the hospital spent $93,000 in this work; contributions amounted to $89,000. The home is in debt mot very. far in debt, but still in the red. It is the first time this has happened in the 17 years. _ 4 'To keep up its record of service the hospital needs $25,- 000 in 1924. Memberships sell for from $5 to $100 a Year. For $250 a year a bed may be named by an in- dividual, a lodge or a union. The hospital has been under a heavy expense in re- Pairing its main building, which has been used for 13 Years. It has had to furnish a nurses’ home and fit up @ cottage as a measles ward. And so, for the first time, it faces a large deficit this year. If you can take a membership or endow a bed you Should do so. The hospital is not, like some institutions, constantly begging for money. But it needs money now, in its emergency, because it wants to keep on saying: "Welcome!” to every crippled child that comes to its doors. < You wouldn’t say “No!” to a crippled child who came to your door asking for help, would you? If This Nation Is to Endure (An Editorial by the Great T. R) 0 vital is this conservation question that, for the first time in our history, the chief executive officers of e States separately and of the States forming the Na- tien, have met to consider it. It is the chief material / ‘Question that confronts us, second only—and second “always—to the great fundamental question of morality. ” “We have become great in a material sense because of the lavish use of our resources, and we have just reason to be proud of our growth. y “But'the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the ‘iron, the oil and the gas are exhausted, when the soils ‘shall have been further impoverished and washed into the Streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields, and obstructing navigation. | “These questions do not relate to the next century or ‘to the next generation. One distinguishing characteristic ‘of really civilized men is foresight; we have to, as a na- tion, exercise foresight for this nation in the future; and if we do not exercise foresight, dark will be the future. | “We should exercise foresight now, as the ordinarily udent man exercises foresight in conserving and wisely ‘ing the property which contains the assurance of well- ng for himself and his children.” Editor's note: President Roosevelt said that at a conference of governors af the states at the White House on May 13, 1908. The conference was called to find ways of checking the ravages of exploiters and profiteers who were rooting like hogs in the natural resources upon which the American state had been builded. Roose yelt and his fellow conservationists found the means, public opinion. The public kept its vigil over our natural resources up to the time of the war, when an enemy from without temporarily seemed greater menace. While the guard at home was relaxed, the explolt- ets renewed their raids. They have been checked again by the ex- posures in Washington. This is the real significance of the Teapot Dome uproar. It is time to turn back to Roosevelt, to begin again where he left off, to conserve our natural resources for the good of the Nation as a whole, if the Nation {s to endure. And let’s not forget what he said about morality, A Brilliant Example ACK DEMPSEY, whose only attribute is his ability to put up a fight (*), has signed a million-dollar contract to appear in the movies. Mr. Dempsey has done no work of any value to anybody for years. __ The million-dollar contract must be highly inspirational to the working man of Seattle, looking for a chance to do some useful labor. Is it any wonder that, with this ex- ample before them, impressionable youths go off at a tangent and seek “easy money,” to land before long in prison? (*) Ina prize ring. Utter Futility Sab amounts of time and brains are devoted to futile pursuits. Republicans, meeting at Wenatchee today, go thru the _ useless motions of doing what Was done days ago for them, by their bosses. Soon, democrats will stage a similar performance. We can think of only one greater waste of time and— _ahem!—brains: Writing editorials about political con- _ ventions. Contempt of Court PEDESTRIAN has as much right to the road as an auto, a Western court of appeals rules. Tell it to the autoists down at Third and Pike and see how many of them are in contempt of court. LETTER FROM \V RIDGE MANN April 6, 1924. Dear Folks: I see they're pinching cars that cross the line with hid den booze. The cars may be a total loss, besides the fino they lose. And folks who carried hootch from yon are very prone to vow, “No booze for me today—I'm on the water wagon now!" The lesson serves them well enough; {t ought to make them pause. It’s very wrong to smuggle stuff, and violate the laws. Besides, it shows they aren't wise in where they give fee aid—the pikers ought to patronize the local Naquor trade! Of course, the Volstead Tariff Act has raised the local price. It costs a lot—nnd that's a fact—to keep the an- clent vice. But folks who thought it wasn't right before It got taboo, are drinking now because “it's quite the proper thing to do.” A So while we go around today, it gives us quite a start to hear a geezer boldly say, “I'm on the water cart!” And tho we wonder what's the cause, we well may blush to speak, “There goes & guy who keeps tho laws—but golly! He's unique!” Where the Trail Divides that of a man who, knowing Vanderlip and the Japanese Will the Investigating Banker Investigate Himself and the Orientals’ “Broad Educational Work’’? BY MILLER FREEMAN RESS dispatches from Wash ington announce that Frank A. Vanderlip has resigned as di rector of various important cor Porations and proposes to devote his attention to operating a pri- Yate bureau of investigation de. signed to ferret out and disclo corruption in various depart ments of the federal government. Conceding that Mr, Vandertip i» entirely sincere and imbued entirely by patriotism, it would be Interesting to know whether im view of the disclosures wmado before the senate Daugherty in. Yestigating committee of (h@ in trigues of Japanese interests, in- cluding charges of corruption and fraud by Mitsu! & Co., fiscal agents of the Japanese govern. ment, he will withdraw from his connection with the Japanese so- ciety, of which he has been one of the most active members. eee N the yearbook of the Japan society for 1923 a letter is reproduced, addreased to Mr. Vanderlip, then president of the Japan society, from the New York manager of Mitsul & Co., enclosing $73,891, and stating that previous contributions from Japanese sources amounted to $58,000—a total of $131,891. Mitsul’s letter specified that these sums were to be used “for edu- cational work on the broadest lines among Americans to dis- seminate a knowledge about Japan and the Japanese.” It would be very enlightening to know to just what uses Mr. Vanderlip put this money. Was any of it used to employ George W. Wickersham, former attor- ney general, who, representing himself as the chairman of the American relations committes, recently protested to the senate committes agninat the clause tn the pending immigration bill de- signed to exclude those Ineligible to citizenship? . . 1H the magazine articles prepared by Jullan Street and later issued in book form Frieda’s Follies ] 2 | ‘Wo were playing mah fongg.

VANDERLIP seems to be only one of a long list of prominent men induced by one Influence or another to cham- pion the Japanese cause. Bank- ers, business men, ministers, minstonartes, commercial organ. zations, newspapers, civic soc!- otiea, all are used and played upon Iike the strings of a harp, to sult the purposes of the Jap. anese. Just now all these forces are concentrated on the federal government tn a desperate effort to defeat the exclusion clause of the immigration bill. Japan is making a great blunder tn attempting to dictate to the United States government or to meddle with the delibera- tions of congress tn Its legitimate business of framing a bill which shall say who shall be allowed to come and live among us.

Consider Your Mouth HENEVER Uttle Johnny became too talkative, Mr, Mann of Any- town would refer to him as “too mouthy.” However, Mr. Mann was a bit talk- ative himself, So Johnny, like his father, camo to associate the mouth with talking, and with nothing else. Now talking is not, and never was, tho primary function of the mouth. Long before men conversed, they ate. Food must tarry and be worked over before it starts on its journey to the stomach, If the tongue were shown under a magnifying glass it would be found to have. “taste buds,” by which the various pleasant flavors are tested. And there should be good, sound teeth for the proper mastication, Then enters saliva which, when giv. en a proper chance to act, brinks important chemical changes, Thus the starch of bread 1s changed to a Kind of sugar called maltose. Food containing starch needs an abundant overflow of the salivary glands, and must remain in tho mouth sufficlently long to give the saliva a chance to freely mingle with each portion of it. The work of digesting food de- pends largely upon the preparation given by the mouth, The moral is obvious: USE YOUR MOUTH FOR SOMBPTHING Bh.

Stocks at Boston haye dropped to 73,000,000 pounds as compared with 86,000,000 pounds a year ago and 140,000,000 two years ago. Last year the United States consumed 770,000,000 pounds of wool. The Pacific Northwest produces 17% of the nation’s crop with only 14% of the country’s sheep. Here the average fleece weighs 8.4 pounds while the United States average is 7.8 pounds. With low stocks and heavy demand wool growers of the Pacific Northwest are in an especially favored position to bring a flow of new money into this section of the country.
