Dm letter came to The Star yesterday. We in the office just sort of felt as though we'd like to have you folk* see it. Because it's a mighty big satisfaction to us to know that our efforts do not go
unappreciated. This letter is written on the stationery of Ironside A Co., Inc., general insurance, 207-208 American Bank building, E. H. Boyd, secretary. It follows:
"The Seattle Star -Gentlemen: Kindly have your boy leave me The Star at our office and collect for same here. The Star seems to have the knack of getting on the right side of life, and besides
desiring the news, i wish to give my moral support so that you may know that your effort to aid the rank and file of mankind is appreciated. Yours truly, E. H. BOYD."

REPLY OF CONQ. HUMPHREY
While brutal Cossacks in American uniforms are pitilessly riding
down weak women and innocent children in blood-soaked I rinidad,
ruthlessly cutting, slashing, and shooting them down; while monstrous
onslaughts are made daily upon defenseless workmen who have the
temerity to buck big moneyed interests; while soldiers are ordered to
shoot and kill men because they are fighting for a bread and butter ex
istence: while kind-hearted, whole-souled Mother Jones is kept in mili
tary captivity like the worst of animals; while the country is shocked by
the brutality, inhumanity, bloodshed and barbarism which hold reign
in one of our states, Congressman William E. Humphrey, of Seattle, com
placently strokes his beard, draws his government salary, eats his sump
tuous meals, promenades along the boulevards, feasts at banquets, and, en
tirely self-satisfied, declares: "I should worry."
A few weeks ago, socialists at Anacortes sent a letter of protest to
W. E. Humphrey, congressman from this district, in regard to the out
rages committed in the copper regions, and asked for a congressional in
vestigation.
After acknowledging receipt of the letter and resolutions, the "states
man" from Seattle has sent this reply to Miss Emma Sager of Anacortes:
"IT IS MY JUDGMENT THAT THERE HAS BEEN EN
TIRELY TOO MUCH OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE IN THIS
MATTER ALREADY."

Jochmann, the Tailor,
in New Location
E. A. Jochmann, the well known tailor, has
removed from 500 Union St. to 1612 First Av.
To introduce his new location, Mr. Jochmann is
now conducting a vigorous cut price sale on high
class Suitings, (or both ladies and gentlemen.
For instance, he quotes $75.00 suits at $35.00,
and $50.00 and $60.00 suits at $30.00. His se
lection of patterns and fabrics is complete, and
comprises the newest things for the coming sea
son. Many Seattle ladies will undoubtedly ap
preciate this opportunity to buy their new Spring
Suits at such a marked saving from regular
prices. Full details will be found in the large
display ad which appears on page 3 in today's
Star.
