On With the Probe! IXPOSURE some weeks ago by The Star of the con- NRection of George W. Wickersham, former attorney ®eneral, and the Mitsui corporation—the Japanese “in- i Visible government”—appears to be bearing fruit in the q capital. And it appears that our own invisible govern- ment not only is a rank traitor to America but a ravenous From the Wickersham charges has come a probe prov- that not only does the invisible government filch l¢ domain and buy public officials, but it sells our avia- tion secrets to a potential enemy, And the next war will = be decided in the air. There are some people who decry the Washington in- ¥estigations as tiresome and destructive of popular con- in our government. There are merchants who “honestly believe that the disclosures are hurting business. To all such, a word. The aerial defenses of our government and of our busi- mess have been bartered away to Japan by the invisible ment at Washington. It is natural to suspect that nerican business men have been similarly betrayed sold out in respect of America’s advantages in war try and construction of submarines. Is it or is it to know the full peril? When a man’s house robbed or his throat is to be cut, is it well that yw what protection he can rely upon and is it well e know what servant of his house is abetting the or cutthroats? e invisible government is traitor as well as thief. ith the probe! Cut out every black sheep from the and slaughter him! He is a danger to the nation especiaiiy to American business success. 4 fs ° 2! zg ae eel if women do have more sense than men, says the Sage of Seattle, you never see a man wearing a shirt he can’t button Uh Why Not Be Reasonable? \ACOMA, which is very anxious to change Mount Rai- nier’s name to “Mount Tacoma,” might easily win % Tittle support if she showed a willing spirit to open the’ park to tourists. Her attitude in refusing to open the morthwest entrance, via the White river, lends color to “the charge that she is trying to “hog” the park as a ‘Tacoma attraction. The park belongs to everybody—Ghetto residents back New York, Back Bay millionaires in Boston and South slum dwellers in Chicago.

What do we care what ‘the Russian thinks, as long as he’s got the money or the dit? _ Hughes’ attitude is hurting Seattle, because most Amer- iean exports to Russia would pass thru here; shipping ‘would grow enormously; factories would be established.

LETTER FROM AYVRIDGE MANN April 3, Dear Folks: I go to dinners round about, where men of business meet. 1 hear @ lot of fellows spout while standing on their feet. The public speaking game, I think, Is quite an easy job—it isn’t hard for any Bink to speak before a mob. And while they talk I often dream, to pass the time away. My thoughts, in fluent fancy, teem with things I'd like to say. They'd Marvel at my flow, of words, tho ease with which they come—it ~ they could hear, these other birds would seem inane and dumb! But, bingo! When I hear them say they'd like to hear from ME, my fluent speeches fade away, my brain appears to flée. No ver- tebrae are in my back, when I get off my seat—I get a sudden, dread attack of ultrafrigid fect! I strive to talk; my voice Is weak; I gurgle like a dub. 1 start my speech with just a squeak, and end it with a blub. From end to end there never was a saving factor found—for in betw Just a buzz of syncopated sound. afd But then—ah, then! When I go home and go to Wed at night, o speech is running thru my head that’s witty, wise and bright. And so I've found the only way to do my speaking jobe—t'll merely go to bed and sway !maginary mobs! TURSUDAY AWVKIL DO YOU BELIEVE IN LUCK? was a baby in the cradle, A matter of chance? {to explain.
