Portland had an increase of 35 per cent; San Francisco of 24 per cent, and Los Angeles of only 23 per cent. Seattle, as a recreation center for the United States, is at last coming into its own. Its Mt. Rainier, its Puget Sound, its Olympic wilderness, and all its count- less other scenic beauties are becoming known. Tourists by the thousands are pouring into the Puget Sound region every year, and every year the influx is increased by leaps and bounds where other Coast recreation cities are enjoying but a small advance over their regular tourist quota, Credit for this increase belongs mainly to the Chamber of Commerce and its al- lied organizations in the Northwest, which e spent thousands of dollars in few years in advertising the attractions thruout the United 0; DOWN WITH HER RS.

She should have put her pistol up against the _ bank president and declared: “Your money or your life, and God didn’t make Adam as the Bible says He did!" A mil- lion of dollars would have rushed for- ward to go bail for her and a galaxy of lawyers, headed by Darrow, would now bod rushing across the country to defend er. “You'll do anything for love of your loved ones in trouble,” sobs the guilty, ' depraved wife and mother. Leniency? _ That love idea has got to be threshed out _ of the women, early and plenty. DOESN'T GRASP IT ALL 'T is to be feared that Gov. “Ma” Fer- 4 guson doesn’t thoroly understand the - operation of law and justice. She says, in explanation of her many pardons, that liquor laws in Texas are being enforced against the poor and for the rich. She hears rich men bragging about their stocks of liquor, while the penitentiary is over-crowded with little hip-flask men and home brewers. - “It means that justice has become a _ mockery,” deduces Mrs. Ferguson, and so "she frees many of the guilty poor. - When Mrs. Ferguson first took hold of the governorship, she frankly proclaimed that she knew nothing of statecraft and _ political chicane and little of law, but _ thought that she had a pretty reasonable p of ordinary justice. Womanlike, has sailed along, officially, in accord ‘with what she thought she knew, and now she faces impeachment, because it isn’t ordinary, but extraordinary justice that operates.

Now if you look closely it may occur to you that this isn’t altogether flattering to | the civilization that we have achieved, | Why is it that all of us wish, at times, that we had never had to grow up? Isn't it because, subconsaously, we have found that life isn’t quite the glittering, lived-happily-ever-after affair we used to think it was? For an illustration, consider those exhi- bitions of playground work that our pub- lic schools hold every so often. You find perhaps a thousand children grouped together, each neat and shining in his white track suit,. Look them over and you can find little difference. Bill the banker's son, rubs elbows with lz: the tailor’s boy, while George, the colored kid, jokes with Frank, whose father is a doctor, The youngsters have equality. And each one, very likely, is looking forward to the time when he will be a man! Fortunately, these youngsters don’t know what's ahead of them. They can’t see that life is going to rob them of that precious, care-free equality; that pudgy, good-natured Billy is going to become a dyspeptic, irritable old broker; that seri- ous little Johnnie is going to become a teacher and fret his life away in a dual war with penury and human dumbness; that Hal will be sent to the electric chair inside of 15 years; that Pe and Ralph and Ike and Bert are going to be shot to death in some flea-infested trench 10,000 miles away; that a couple of dozen more will toil for years in poverty and drudg- ery and that anotber will become rich | it | | and detested. | | Whose fault is it that these things must | | happen to these unsuspecting youngsters | | —just as they happened to all of us? No- | body’s in particular. It’s just that we have made for ourselves the kind of a world in which such things are inevitable. | And so when we say that we want to | make this a better world to live in, one of the things we mean is that it must be a world in which it is never a tragedy to grow from a boy into a man. | FOOLISH HIO plants a white cross by the road- side wherever a fatal auto accident has pecurred. | | Oddly enough, the thickest bunch of crosses is to be found along a 40-mile stretch of road that is perfdctly straight, | pert level, amply wide and well paved.
