Cayton's Weekly

State Library Cayton's Weekly --- PRICE FIVE CENTS PRESTO CHANGE It was like a clap of thunder from a clear sky that the editor hereof received the news last Sunday that segregation at Camp Lewis had been instituted in its most humiliating forms. The ink on the editorial in Cayton's Weekly of the day before was hardly dry when presto change, all the good things we had said about Camp Lewis had faded away like snow in June. Bulletin No. 114 had been posted in the camp, which denied the colored soldiers the privileges and accommodation of the Y. M. C. A. building and the Hostess House and in the way of compensation for the loss of those privileges and accommodation a couple of other buildings were designated for Colored Y. M. C. A. and Colored Hostess House. To say that such an order cast a damper upon the buoyant spirits of the colored soldiers as well as the colored citizens of the Northwest is mildly putting it and while the soldiers were powerless to do or say a word in their own defense, yet the colored citizens moved immediately in the matter. S. H. Stone, president of the Seattle Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, called the executive committee together and telegraph messages were sent to the general headquarters in New York and to Emmett J. Scott of the War Department, acquainting each of the condition and appealing to them to do all within their power to have the bulletin withdrawn. The same news reached the Rev. W. D. Carter and he hurriedly assembled many of the leading colored citizens of Seattle and laid the matter before them, which body after learning what Mr. Stone had already done turned the whole investigation over to the Association. At the head of a committee consisting of Howard T. Brown, Rev. Barber, Milton Vernon, Mrs. N. J. Asberry (Tacoma) and H. R. Cayton, Mr. Stone appeared before the proper authorities at Camp Lewis and with H. R. Cayton as spokesman the grievances of the committee were laid before Col. Johnson, who, after hearing the same, gave the committee his assurance that the matter would be given his immediate attention and added, "I do not doubt but it will be satisfactorily arranged. Col. Johnson showed the committee every courtesy and so pleasant was the interview that each member of the committee left the room feeling more than hopeful that the objectionable order wuold be rescinded. That there is and will be more or less friction between the whites and the blacks of this country during the life time of those now living is quite apparent, but if the leaders of both sides will meet and go over the troubles with the same degree of fairness as did the Stone committee and Col. Johnson of Camp Lewis there will be much less difficulty in smoothing the troubled waters. JAPANESE WANT JUSTICE Before one of the industrial clubs of this city one day this week a Japanese editor of San Francisco, who speaks the English language fluently, having been educated in the United States, plead for justice and fair dealing for the Japanese subjects living in this country, the right to become citizens the same as any other foreigner, if they so desired, and the plea was just and right. In and about the City of Seattle there are about 10,000 Japanese subjects, who almost form the bone and sinew of the agricultural and horticultural pursuits that furnish Seattle with the bulk of her edibles, meat and bread excepted. They have had to rent such lands as they want at an enormous, if not absolute outrageous rental price, but despite this they furnish vegetables to the market patrons for a less sum than those who own their own lands. The Japanese have redeemed from their virgin state, lands which have been in the possession of white men since they first settled in the country, the redemption for which they had done little or nothing for almost a hundred years, but as said above these Japanese in recent years at an enormous and outrageous rental have developed these lands and increased their intrinsic values from $10 per acre to $1000 per acre and despite all this you fling into his face the offensive jeer, "you are not sufficiently human to share the civilization of the United States." Rather remarkable to say the least that the United States isc the only civilized country in the world that does not accord to the Japanese the same rights and privileges as any other foreigner and whether for this or some other cause we shall not stop here to discuss, yet this is the only civilized country that is and has been on the verge of war with Japan. There is but little doubt of the fact that if war had not broken out in Europe and Japan drawn into the same as an ally of England, Japan and the United States would now be in war and though at the present time both powers are of England, they watch each other like hawks and an outbreak is always in the pales of possibility. Nothing to our mind is so much responsible for these strained rela VOL. 3. NO. 12 tions than the treatment the Japanese are subjected to by the citizens of the United States. Strange to say the United States seems to have more racial problems than any other country in the world. She has had her alleged Negro problem since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, once upon a time there was a great scare of a Scandinavian problem in Minnesota and the Northwest, then the Yellow Peril of the Pacific Coast loomed up, which frightened the wits out of our citizens, then the Japanese puzzle had its round. A few Hindoos came in and the word came from the pulpit and press that the turban headed tribe might envelop the United States, and once on a time when a few Italians went South and began to farm there at once sprang pu an Italian problem and so much was said about it that war was almost precipitated over it. The Irish and Jewish problems each had their turn in the public mind. There is a Negro problem in this country because the white citizens want one. There will be no Negro problem in this country as soon as the white citizens decide that there shall be none. So long as the black man is brutalized instead of citizenized by the white man then there will be a Negro problem to wrestle with. Accord the black man all the rights and privileges that are due a citizen and the next minute he will with a leap and a bound take up the white man's burden. Despite the fact this is an English speaking nation, yet it is of a cosmopolitan composition and if the dominant class does not accept it as such from now on it will sow seeds of discord to the winds from which their progeny some day will reap a whirlwind. Americanize the human aggregation as it now stands in this country and thereby avoid future entanglements. Other nations have done it and so can this. COLORED CANDIDATES FILE Alice S. Presto and Horace R. Cayton have taken the initiative in filing for state senator and state representative in King County and if the colored voters in their respective districts do not rally to a voter to their support then all this talk of race loyalty of which so much is said is absolute rot. Its of little or no consequence whether those persons to you be persona non grata or your bosom friends their success opens the way to you and yours. Owing to the bitter fight between E. B. Palmer and George B. Lamping for state senator, Mrs. Presto has more than a passing chance of election and it behooves you to do your duty on election day. If you want to whip the devil fight him with fire and if the politicians refuse to give you recognition after election then the next time you yourself file for the office. If you want a square deal you see to it that you give a square deal. Rev. W. D. Carter left last Tuesday for St. Louis, Mo., to attend the National Baptist Convention which convenes there September 4th. He goes thither to represent the Northwest Baptist Convention of which he is the general secretary. He is one of the vice presidents of the National Convention and has since he first located in the Northwest served that body as missionary in the Northwest. He will be absent from the city for one month. ROBERT T. HODGE Wants your vote for sheriff and unless we are sadly mistaken you want to give him your vote. Bob is the poor man's friend, he is the working man's friend and in short, he is the people's friend and they should not permit themselves to be camouflaged into voting for some one who is no body's friend, except when he wants something of them. Bob Hodge for sheriff, that's all. W. M. PEASE Who seeks the nomination for representative in the next Legislature of the State of Washington, is a business man right, and if you really mean what you say in wanting some businessmen instead of so many lawyers you have a most excellent opportunity in getting one business man by electing W. M. Pease to the legislature. He has lived in the State of Washington for the past forty years and during all of that time has been engaged in business for himself. He loves the deal of fair play and if nominated and elected, all classes will get his careful consideration. He has two boys in France and wants nothing done by the coming legislature that will handicap the progress of the war. REAH WHITEHEAD Justice of the Peace for Re-Election. Republican Primaries, Sept. 10, 1918 HORACE R. CAYTON REAH WHITEHEAD HORACE R. CAYTON Candidate for the nomination of State Representative Forty-third District. Subject to Republican Primaries, Sept. 10th, 1918. Residence, 303 22nd Ave. South. Phone Beacon 1910. Seattle, Washington. ```markdown ``` WHAT A DIFFERENCE The white mother of a U. S. soldier who is fighting in France, was legally ejected from the premises, which she was occupying in Seattle, but she appealed to the Council of Defense, which body took it up with another of the superior court judges, which resulted in the woman being restored to her former quarters and now she is happy and content. A black mother of a U. S. soldier, who is fighting in France because she gave a white man impudence (?) was tarred and feathered and driven out of Vicksburg, Mississippi, and no one opposed the brutal and drastic order and now the poor colored woman is a wanderer from home and if still in the South afraid to make herself known. Seattle is a Republican community and the judge that restored the white woman to her home because her son was "over there," is a simon pure Republican. Vicksburg is a Democratic community and the judges and officers of the law would at the risk of their lives try to protect the colored woman now a wanderer in the wilderness despite the fact her son, too, is "over there." Southern Democracy is a disgrace to American civilization. Next Monday's parade on the streets of Seattle will show you how large the army of laborers in Seattle really is. Organized Labor is going to demand a straight dollar per hour for its employed members and the monster parade planned for next Monday is to intimidate the government into conceding its demands without any resistance. When Solomon wrote, "there is nothing new under the sun," he doubtless had just returned from watching his hundredth and one circus parade; and yet all of us religiously go to see the next parade the same as the first, to see if Solomon lied or told the truth and thus far the truth has prevailed. Reverses have come so thick and fast to the Kaiserites that one of the boys is planning to get married. Evidently he has come to the conclusion that even a wife can do him no worse than are the Allies. The faults of Special Prosecutor Reames to the contrary notwithstanding Cayton's Weekly is most decidedly of the opinion that Hulet M. Wells was deserving of prosecution and conviction for sedition and it is further of the opinion that organized labor is making a most fatal mistake in trying to bolster up a man of Wells' type. This is either a government or an incoherent aggregation of humanity, and if the former Wells has tried to disrupt it and is deserving of punishment for his vicious acts. Those doctors who find they can not make a living by legitimate practice, but have to do so by illegally prescribing liquors for their booze thirsty patients had better go to the shipyards and get a job while going is good. As yet we can not celebrate peace, but if the Allies continue to press the Germans as they have and are, the day is not far distant when the white winged dove cf peace will come soaring into camp bearing the captured crest of the Kaiser. Mayor Hanson's decision that Hagan will do no more police work under him puts Hagan up against the proposition of devising some other way in which to do the public. After reading some of the weekly publications that come our way we feel like suggesting to them to spell it "weakly" for they are weaker than CAYTON'S WEEKLY is spring water to a Kentuckian who had always depended on a distillery for his thirst quencher. The politicians of King County know a good thing when they see it, hence this magnificent number of Cayton's Weekly. On next Tuesday the public schools of the city will again undertake to teach the young minds to schoot, and the tramp, tramp of the boys and girls will seem to say to those not there, "Then come along, come along, bring your books and slates along, and don't be a fool, for Uncle Sam is rich enough to send us all to school." This is the last day of August and the most of us have seen hotter days even in Seattle than the days of August just bidding us adieu, but at that we have had a most glorious summer month. It took something like 3000 words for "Special Prosecutor" Reames to answer the simple charge, "You are camouflaging the public." It is always hard to explain away the truth. Unless the supreme court gets busy the allotted year for the firm of Gill, Hoyt & Frye to lay away from the practice of law will be passed before it will hand down its opinion. Just what the seventy-year-old stiffs expected to see at the circus parade different from what they had seen at such parades all of their lives is hard to say, but they were all in line and waited for hours to see the elephants go by. It begins to look as if Hindenberg is not dead as was reported, but we suspect he wishes now that he had died at the time the same was erroneously reported. Much of the dare-devil braggadocio still remains in Bill Kaiser, but he backed down from trouble with Spain, which must mean that he realizes he has all the troubles he can bear just now. Since the appearance of the two column article of Reeves Aylmore in the defense of organized labor the public is wondering what office Reeves is preparing to file for. POLITICAL POT POURI Though every county office is to be refilled at the coming election in this county, yet but three Democrats have filed for places on the regular ticket, one for sheriff, one for prosecuting attorney, and one for superintendent of common school. Two years ago this county gave Woodrow Wilson and Ernest Lister, both Democrats and both elected, majorities and despite this Democracy has become such a stench in the nostrils of our citizens that but three Democrats dared to face the odium of being on a Democratic ticket. Even "Special Prosecutor" Reames with his big stick was not able to sufficiently brow beat Republicanism to give Democrats courage enough to file for office on the regular Democratic ticket and that too despite the fact that all of the federal and state official appointees are Bourbon Democrats and the most of them hail from the Southern states. How has the mighty fallen. A vote for Edward B. Palmer in the coming primary election is a vote to boost a man into office which he will use for selfish purposes. In the legislature he has always worked to give great concerns decided advantages over the ordinary citizen and his chief reason for wanting to return to the senate is to continue his selfish motives. He defeated the proposition for the state to deed to the city of Seattle the Lake Washington tide lands opposite Washington Park thereby giving to the city one of the finest park sites in the world, and he makes no bones that he will continue his opposition to the proposition if he is returned. He evidently has been moved to take this stand against the people because one of the big interests, which he represents, is opposed to it. The colored man who will vote for Palmer is a colored man only in complexion, but an ungrateful man at heart. If you think Palmer has ever been your friend ask him what colored man he has ever aided in any shape or form. In Judge John F. Main, a candidate to succeed himself on the supreme court bench, old residents of Seattle know that he has ever proven worthy of any trust imposed in him and the loyal citizens of Seattle will roll him up a majority at the polls primary day that will convince the other part of the state that the Seattleites, among whom he lived before going on the supreme bench at Olympia, still recognize in him a man of sterling worth, a judge, a scholar and a gentleman. This paper heartily endorses the candidacy of Judge Wallace Mount for supreme judge to succeed himself. He has been on the bench for a number of years and during all that time has never handed down an opinion that could not be highly commended by any true, loyal citizen. Judge Mount is a magnificent man and we trust every reader of this paper will see to it that he be given a vote at the primary election. So far as the colored citizens are concerned he has ever been their friend. The Woman's Political Alliance will hold an Alice Presto meeting September 6th, beginning at 8 p. m. at the First A. M. E. church. The meeting will be an endorsement and ratification of Mrs. Presto's candidacy for state senator. The Alliance in connection with Mrs. Presto will have others to speak. The members of the Alliance plan to make this the monster meeting of the primary campaign. The King County Colored Republican Club will hold a meeting in the basement of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church next Sunday, September 1st, at 3 o'clock p. m., at which meeting the committee sent out by the club will report to the club its findings as to the candidates the club should enlorse. You and each of you are cordially invited to be present. CAYTON'S LEGISLATIVE CANDIDACY No one who has filed for the legislature in King County is more thoroughly conversant with the workings of legislative bodies than is Horace R. Cayton, who has filed for the nomination of representative from the 43rd legislative district, he having attended every session of the Washington legislature since 1893 and was at all times in close touch with the party machinery. If Mr. Cayton is nominated and elected he will be able to begin work the first day of the session and continue to the very last. Mr. Cayton has published a paper in Seattle since 1892 and has a wide acquaintance with the leading political spirits of the state. Though always an ardent Republican yet in the primaries he has always been very independent and only supported men who seem to him best fitted for the positions. He is a heavy taxpayer and owns an apartment house located at 303 22nd South where he and his family reside. He is in full sympathy with the President's war aims.

RAWSON who has resided in Seattle for the past thirty years has always been an indical citizen and has always been for all men up. He is candidate for the nomination of representative in Congress at the hands of the Republican party and has the following platform: A PATRIOTISM THAT— 1st—Demands and upholds the best interests of America at all times, be we at peace or at war; 2nd—That holds the life and liberty of our citizens as the most sacred of all of the treasures we have to guard; 3rd—That calls for Americans for America, and a national policy so equitable and so just to all, and so fully M. American, that it can successfully meet open discussion from city or country, from house-top to gutter; 4th—That demands the abolition of the Kaiser and Kaiserism and the conditions which generate war, that our peace shall be a permanent peace; 5th—That demands such a change in the Federal Constitution that only those who must pay the price of war with their lives shall have the right to declare war, and that by direct vote: 6th—That we demand the plcaing of our foreign and domestic commerce open to all of our citizens under provisions of general law and such as will encourage and promote it: 7th-That women shall have the right of suffrage in the United States. (Paid Advertisement) Fred C. Brown, Republican candidate for Prosecuting Attorney of King County, was born in Pennsylvania forty-one years ago. His father was a veteran of the Civil War. He is married and has two daughters, one of whom is in the Government War Service at Washington, D. C. Resident of Seattle for twenty-nine years. He has had nine years of active practice of law and six years judicial experience. While on bench he disposed of 25,000 civil and 6,000 criminal cases. He says: If elected, I shall make it my policy and purpose to co-operate with the National Government in every practical way in conducting the war and vigorously prosecute those that in any way attempt to obstruct its successful termination. I shall not show leniency to the man or men who willfully and with evil intentions violate the law. More attention will be paid to the enforcement of the laws of criminal conspiracy to raise the price of food; the destroying of perishable articles in order to maintain an unreasonable price to the consumer; the food adulterator or those who knowingly imperil life and health by selling impure or deleterious food. I regard these as the most pernicious forms of crime because they illegally use the vital necessities of life to achieve private gain, and they should be dealt with vigorously. The unfortunate or the person who unintentionally violates the law should not be treated as an habitual criminal. In dealing with law violation, reason and expert knowledge should be used, the same as in all other phases of human conduct and affairs. The mental capacity, intentions, general mkae-up and character of the offender should be considered. There is not much to a man except his mind, and it is this mental capacity or attitude that is the great problem in dealing with human nature. Self respect and the better impulses should not be crushed or degraded, thus starting the offender on the downward path. So far as practicable, the punishment should be individualized. This view is affirmed by all the ablest living scientists, physicians and psychologists. It is the newer and better method. Excessive Bail and Fair Trials—The fixing of excessive bail for the sole purpose of holding men in jail before trial is a vicious practice and will be discontinued. It is an indirect way of depriving men of their liberty and rights. I will co operate with the court in fixing a proper bail in all offenses. The Innocent—It is as much the duty of the Prosecuting Attorney to protect the innocent from false arrest or from being placed upon trial on insufficient evidence as it is his duty to prosecute the guilty. I will make it my chief aim to send all criminals to the penitentiary and at all times protect the innocent from unjust prosecution. Liquor Laws—I always have and will stand for a rigorous enforcement of the liquor laws, and believe that the maximum penalty should be imposed upon those found guilty. Deputies—If elected I will select deputies because of their ability, experience and character. CRAWFORD E. WHITE Crawford E. White, candidate for Superior Court Judge, was born in Missouri. He graduated from the law school of the University of Missouri taking the degree of L. L. B., practicing law in his native state for a short time, he moved to Montana, went to work in the Gallitain Valley and in the Homestake tunnel on the Northern Pacific Railroad, locating in Butte, Montana. He served two terms as deputy county attorney of Silver Bow County, declining a third term, ```markdown ``` CAYTON'S WEEKLY 1974 moving to Seattle. He has served over four years as deputy prosecuting attorney in this county. He was instructor of athletics in the Y. M. C. A. at Sedalia, Missouri, and during his college career played football and was physical director in charge of all university athletics. Mr. White has always been a fearless prosecutor, while deputy county attorney of Silver Bow County, Montana, among other duties, and during all of such deputyship, he relentlessly prosecuted the divekeepers and procurers and importers of women for immoral purposes. The lack of interest displayed by peace officers in his campaign against these procurers and exploiters of women, led him to take the matter up with the Departmnet of Justice at Washington, D. C., and the federal authorities promptly detailed Special Agent H. D. Ebey (now inspector in charge of Chinese emigration at Chicago) to assist him. The result was the conviction of some fourteen of the leaders in this traffic, notable amongst these being Charles Charlier and Pete Von Derbourough (alias Little Pete) the former receiving a sentence of four years and a fine of $2500.00, and the latter four years in the penitentiary at Deer Lodge, Montana, and a fine of $500.00. This campaign resulted in an investigation of the police department and a grand jury was called. While deputy prosecutor he has prosecuted successfully several cases of more than usual public interest among which may be noted cases of false registration, and cases of misbranding canned goods and selling decomposed food stuffs. In one case forty head of beef cattle had been stored in a warehouse until the meat had become unfit for human food. Mr. White obtained an order of court to destroy the same after a hearing; at another time twenty-two wagon loads of food-stuff in cans and packages, while in transit had become unfit for human food. Mr. White prosecuted this case and obtained an order from the court to destroy the same. Many prosecutions were successfully conducted against the sale of impure milk, many cases of criminal assault against women and children were prosecuted by Mr. White.

TOUCHING ON THE WAR If the Sunday joy-riding be cut out not less than eight million gallons of gasoline will be saved every Sunday or 448,000,000 in the course of a year, which amount would help some in the successful prosecution of the war. And to think five years ago there was little if hardly any of that waste. If joy-riding interferes with the prosecution of the war cut out the joy-riding for the period of the war. If every family with a lot would raise as many vegetables thereon as can be done by intensified farming there would be less financial strain among the worknigmen and more food could be sent to starving Europe. There are no more persons in the world to feed than before the war began, yea not near so many, but it takes more to feed them, owing to the fact so many are taken from the farms, and then a great deal of it is lost on the waters. desires to succeed himself on the bench of the Superior Court of King County and to that he has filed for the nonpartisan primary election. He was appointed to the position a few months ago and has made a most admirable judicial. Prior to going on the bench 1930 he for five years had been U S district attorney in Seattle and be it said to his everlasting credit a fairer or more able legal advisor Uncle Sam never had in this community. When he tendered his resignation President Wilson wrote a most excellent letter of regrets. No man on the bench has made so many friends on so short a time as Judge Allen. a graduate of the University of Washington and a man whose life is known to the residents of King county by reason of the fact that he has been closely identified with the progress of King County since he became active in business life, is a candidate to succeed himself as a justice of the peace in and for Seattle Precinct. Judge Wright first became justice of the peace by reason of appointment by the county commissioners in 1913. Judge Wright has been very active during his terms as justice of the peace in moulding and shaping such laws as would aid in the discharge of business and in giving every litigant a fair opportunity to be heard and have the facts of his case properly presented. Among these have been the provision now a part of our statutes authorizing a justice of the peace to open up defaults, a matter which of- (Paid Advertisement) CLAY ALLEN (Paid Advertisement) JOHN B. WRIGHT tentimes means everything to a litigant who under the old system might have been an hour late in reporting to the court. A further step in the interests of common fairness was secured PETER H. HARRIS when through his effort there was secured a law which prohibited the allowing of five dollars attorney's fees as costs in suits in which there was involved less than five dollars, thus making impossible suits on petty claims and running up exorbitant costs. One of the innovations which has come about under Judge Wright has been the establishment of his night court. At the time of the establishment there was and could be no motive other than to aid and assist litigants by saving their time in matters of controversy. This has proven of great benefit to the business man who does not have to leave his business to attend a hearing on some matter of controversy and has proven of inestimable value to the laboring man who does not have to lose his time and consequently his wages in order to be presnet at a trial. While the motive was purely one of assistance to his fellow men yet the establishment of the court has shown consequences more far-reaching than any conceived by Judge Wright or his friends or those whom he desired to accommodate. It has saved the time of men needed in the shipyards and in useful and necessary industry and has become during these days one of the most effective war measures now in operation in the entire judicial system of King County.

Judge Brinker has many friends among the colored voters, who he hopes will not overlook him at the coming pri- mary election. (Paid Advertisement) VICTOR ZEDNICK HELPING THE RED CROSS Se ae ee ee Are you helping the Red Cross? Do you belong to any of the war workers’ clubs? If you don’t you really ought to join one of them, or at least do what you can to help the Red Cross supply our boys with their various needs. Perhaps you will argue that you don’t want to work unless.you are sure that your work will be given to some Colored Sammy. Well, if you feel that way about it you really ought to change your ideas on the subject. We can’t afford to argue over small points just now, because while we are wasting our time arguing, the boches will be gaining ground daily. Our ob- ject is to save the man power of the country as far as possible, to keep our men, regardless of color or creed, warm, well fed and in good spirits. It is just as right to save a white sol- dier as it is to save a black one in this war, and vice-versa. When the war ‘s over, if prejudice hasn’t entirely vanished, there will be plenty of time and opportunity to get rid of it, and speedily too. But just now it will take a united effort on the part of all of our men and women, black and white, yellow, red and brown, to win a complete victory—and we can’t be satisfied with anything less than abso- lute victory. And just as we shall conquer Germany as a nation, so as a race, wili the Black Man conquer pre- judice. It isn’t too early to begin on winter supplies for the soldiers, because it takes some time to make a sweater or a helmet, especially if you can only work on it a little while each day. The English women have found a substitute for the knitted sweater. It is the “glove waistcon:,” which is made of waste material—ciscurded kil gleves-- and is therefore much cheaper to make than the knitted sweater.

Washington vealed many things to us that mignt otherwise have gone unrealized. Among these is the urgent demand for trained soldiers—men who can _ en- dure the hardships of the army life which we all have read something about, and the training does not mean merely the expert handling of guns and the general service of military tactics, but the very fundamental necessity, that is required of our soldiers is phy- sical fitness. To be a soldier he must be physically fit,—his vital organs, the heart, lungs, liver, stomach and kid- neys must be in good condition to give him the stamina necessary for the hardships of a soldier’s life. The question naturally arises— “What shall we do?” There must be a universal awakening and there is,— we note the wonderful improvement in the physique of the school children and even in some adults because of the patriotic spirit of preparedness is daily becoming contagious, because of our country’s call for patriotic men to de- fend it. Teachers of physical educa- tion realize that a man is a handicap to the army if he is physically unable to stand the new life and they are planing dai'y for a universal propa- ganda of physical preparedness, not on'y for military duty but for the pub- lic generally. Modern living and working condit- ions are partly responsible for most physical unfitness. The congested city life has con- taminated the air with dust and smoke which is bad for our lungs, hous- ing conditions have shut out the sun- light and a healthful walk of a mile or so is a'most an impossibility over the concrete walks. The inability to eat wholesome food at all times is also a big problem of city life, but among all of these problems the sedentary life—the inactive life should be given a large consideration. Machinery is fast taking the place of muscular or man power which was used years ago by our forefathers, who developed for us a strong, sturdy race which it is our patriotic duty to maintain as far as possible. Fortunately the average city and totwn with its great health problem is striving to meet the conditions of this drain on our system by providing recreation and amusement parks, free public baths and bathing beaches for the public, with trained directors in charge and such places should be crowded daily. Mankind is a social being and since activity is the law of life, it is im- perative that he should enjoy whole- some games of various kinds, with his friends in the parks for the sake of health and amusement. We often hear of persons who would like to take some kind of physical training but they think that they are too weak to do so,—to those I say if you are so constitutionally weak as that your family physician should be consulted at once and if one tells him of his interest in physical development, in all probability the doctor will ad- vise and direct him as to the best method of procedure. Physical Directors of Y, M. C. A.s, parks and playgrounds have proven themselves to be very competent in teaching mass play and athletics as well as giving individual instruction in body building and corrective exercise according to the direction of a physi- cian, Many business houses have em- ployed a physical instructor to give a few minutes calisthenics drill to their employees daily and also to organize pi india canis Oke tbe we atewank ae CAYTON’S WEEKLY (Paid Advertisement) a | W. M. PEASE Candidate for State Representative 47th District fat to normal and builds the under de- veloped parts to normal and thereby causes all of our organs to do their share of the body’s work. It develops co-ordination in move- ments and especially does it show in walking, which is one of the simplest and most helpful forms of exercise. Walking makes one breathe deeply, creates a thirst for water drinking, takes one out into the open and cer- tainly develops a normal appetite for food. Hiking clubs and parties can testify to this fact. Exercise helps us to combat disease as well as to per- form our work more efficiently. Persons holding clerical positions are not very active while at work and are often discovered on examination to have hollow chests, soft flabby bod- ily tissue, shortness of breath and na- turally little endurance. In such cases the proper kind of muscular exercise will help. Those that need physical exercise most seem to get the least attention. A chain is no stronger than its weak- est link, and a race is not stronger than its weakest member. Are we going to allow our boys and girls to stop school because of some prevent- able weakness,—must they suffer from lack of exercise? No! Ten thousand times, no! Let us rather do what Uncle Sam is doing, have mass ath- letics in all our schools, colleges, clubs, business houses, factories, shops, etc. Democratic athletics if you please, and when such a program of universal training has been experienced there will be no need of fearing ayn kind of a crisis, personal, civic, national or international.—Half Century Maga- zine.

Who knows? John Ward a negro of Goldsboro, N. C., has thirteen of his eighteen sons in the Ninth and Tenth United States cavalry, while his seventeen daughters are busy with war work. The facts are vouched for by Sheriff R. H. Ed- wards, of Wayne county of which Goldsboro is the county seat. Ward also probably holds the record for quadruplets, says Sheriff Edwards, who gives the record thus:— Ward was born April 21, 1856 at Goldsboro. He was married three times and his last wife is now living. His first wife bore him fifteen child- ren, four at one time twice, three at one time twice, one at a time once. His second wife bore him two at one time twice, three at one time once and five one at a time. His present wife has bore him eight, one at a time. His first wife lived six years and three weeks after marriage, his second wife eight years and six months. The num- ber of boys is—By first wife eight; by second wife, five, and by third wife five. Ofthose now in the service seven are by the first wife, five by the sec- ond and one by the present wife. An- other son has served in thecavalry, but is now living at Wilson, N. C who seeks the Republican nomination of constable for the Seattle district and who resides at 1908 Atlantic St., is a substantial property holder and has lived in Seattle for a number of years. He is well and favorably known and if nominated and elected will serve his constituents worthily and well.

THE BOY NEXT DOOR ‘There used to be a boy next door Whom often I have longed to throt- tle; I’ve wished a thousand times and more That he had died while “on the bot- tle”! Oft in the past it has been hard For me to check my inclination, When he had cluttered up our yard, To hand him heavy castigation. With freckles on his tilted nose And ears that far in space protruded, He was not one, as heaven knows, To whom I in my prayers alluded. Derisively he showed his tongue And scorned the warnings which I gave him, But now I list myself among The ones who pray the Lord to save him. How vividly I can recall Him at the window, making faces; I used to think that in him all The impish traits had lurking places. He stole the green fruit from my trese, Not caring how it might affect him; Today he’s fighting overseas, And may the God of Hosts protect him! From childhood into youth he passed, And then my little garden flourished; But still his friendship was not classed Among the treasures which I nour- ished. f. He tortured first a slide trombone, And next he tried a squeaky fiddle; His voice took on a raucous tone That used to rasp me down the mid- dle. How soldierly our lad appeared when with his comrades he depart- ed! I wonder if he knew I cheered, Or guessed that I was heavy-hearted. If I had damned him heretofore I now retract ecah foul aspersion; God bles sthe boy who lived next door, And used to be my pet aversion! —S. E.

Among the entrtaining bits that the traveler noticed in his study of Japanese advertising are these: “Goods dispatched expeditiously as a canon-bal.” “Parcels done up with such loving as a wife bestows upon her husband.” “The print of our books is clear as crystal; the matter charming as a singing girl.” “Customers are treated as politely as by rival steamship companies.” “Our silks and satins are as smooth as a lady’s cheeks and colored like the rainbow.” It ought to be posisble to get adver- tisements read in Japan without scat- tring them around next to “pure read- ing matter.’—Dayton News.
