THAT TERRIBLE CLOUD
Tomorrow if the Seattle st k -. nvrv
their -threat, the whole Sp.r - i . . if
thrown into disorder. The na k ■ . ,j
portance of such a state cann setu
red and much less estimated in <rs a;'
cents. Aside from the material i ... city
and the business men; there is the morale side
that appears to he about rev. , f.... ; : »to dis
card. If we look back just a fe
say, during the last Libert;,
Cross drive; reports told us that everybody in
Seatth- had Ms shoulder t. ll.c wheel doing his
best to support the common < ••• v : ;
the same people today at each
to speak, is too much for u un. ■ v
a distance.
Some say that a few agits a ;
That is impossible if we • ; cr
intelligence of the present day ’
cannot lead the many into f u: here i
an impelling reason to make era; ka fight
ing for our country.
We have watched closely the
that gigantic struggle the !r ' Tver . T , ;.T
thus far we have been unable t ; H ; v:
sufficient reason to account for : mina
tion on either side, and we w7on
about time for rational bein; ; to i 'hoi
right to live in peace. Surely the malcontents
and profiteered cannot be in the jns'vky.
THE RIGHT THING
It has been the policy of t v Tv;,. States,
ever since its birth, to for t; r :
migration. It has been expected ■; 1
migrants would become eiti
been realized; but the alien vv * >•
of citizenship has met a welcf-e. n sis
case it has been supposed that 1 - ■ -
to better his condition, or for ;re similarly .
good reason, and that ho vvr * a*
least a friendly spirit toward th<
admitted him and gave him t!
“Uncle Sam. is rich enough to i . e aM a
farm" fairly represents the T • ee -ng'
award immigrants.
Hut there is such a variety of aliens coming I
'at . ; his country that makes it difficult to keep
cut those who come here for the purpose of I
destroying our government and wrecking cur
in dilutions, because they do not announce their
purpose as through a megaphone. Hut again,
it is not impossible to deport them when their
purpose has been manifested; like those who
were brought before the court at this recent j
.term. The courts are convicting them right !
dong and sentencing them to either heavy fines !
imprisonment. But niether one or both is!
We do not want them here even as;
-o ,'icts. If the law does not make deporta
lion easy of execution in all such cases, it
hculd be amended until it dees. Send them
back where they come from.
A TWO-SIDED JOKE
Tallin- our cue from an innocent reader, yes
n'l'cby ,- j commented on the ordinance recent
e tod by our council in reference to the
< f new off the walks. In substance, we
i that the shoveling of snow did not include
ice. That was our mistake. The ordinance spe
< 'fkalL says “snow and ice” and of course the
he , ; on us, for we should have locked up the
-t■ mr.ent and not merely taking another’s]
suggestion. Next time we shall make sure on
what ground we are tramping, because to make
a framer of a law appear ridiculous is the last
thing in the world we wish to do. This is the
first side of the joke—on us. The other side
constitute briefly in encumbering our statute
books with laws and not enforcing them. For
r:h if the necessity for spending little ener
gy in making the public walks safe has ever
been F'SLT, it was last Monday when we unce
remoniously at down heavily on the icy walk.
,Yc wonder if this side of the joke is on us
■ ; cm the walk or on the city authorities
: rrt enforcing the ordinance. Have your
hcice. Meanwhile, someone is peeved at the
uncalled for comment and we are all broken
•- ; - our fail; which accounts for our carrying
i cushion along these slippery mornings.
v few days ago the commissioner of labor
