—Postmaster General Burleson
finds himself in rather an un

ciation has put up to him to de
cide the question as to whether
or not the unexpurgated edition
of the speech delivered by Rep.
Stanley Bowdle of Ohio on woman
suffrage can be permitted to cir
culate through the malls. So far
the department has not replied.
Mr. Bowdle found it necessary to
eliminate certain portions of this
speech from the Congressional
Record.
If the Postmaster General de
cides that the speech can go
through the malls, he will be in
the position of O. King the pro

remarks; If he refuses the mailing

district was abolished by the
passage of the Kenyon law a
short time ago, there was great
Interest throughout the country
In what would become of the
women driven out. Committees
were formed and charitable and
public-minded citizens rushed to
the front with plans for employ
ment and advice for the unfor
tunates. Now lt is possible to tell
exactly what did happen. There
were on the books of the police
department when the law became
operative 322 recognized profes
sional inmates of houses of pros
titution in Washington. Of these,
2"."i were traced by the police to
other houses in other nearby
cities; of the remaining 47, fif
teen accepted employment, and
the rest were lost to sight, the
supposition being that they have
piled their profession In an unof
ficial and quiet manner in the
residential districts of the city.
There are 30 cases pending in the
office of the corporation counsel
on complaints of neighbors against
dlsor/erly use of supposedly re
spectable houses.

BUSINESS MORALS
OF PIANO FIRMS
T
Silvers Contrasts Results of Faking and Honesty
Since the advent of Silvers Piano Co. into the piano business In
Tacoma nearly four years ago, piano firms have come and gone. "
Some have pretended to go, but did not. Faked up "Closing Out
Sules," "Manufacturers' Sales" In which no factory representative
has had a hand, though supposed to be "personally In charge,"
"Warehouse Sales" and what not? Every conceivable pretense and
excuse for the supposed reduction of prices have been handed out to
the public. v
Any sort of graft will thrive temporarily—will produce some ►
small results. But the steady stream of legitimate piano business is
not much disturbed by such mani pulatlon. The firm which sticks
solidly to the truth cannot but win In the long run.
Hence the success of Silvers Piano Co. All without any great
splurge or waste of newspaper space—and the piano buyer has saved
money as a result. A firm having proper business morals Is bound *
to live down the fakir, the pretender, the piano man or firm which
plays hide and seek with the public.
Hundreds of prominent homes and public institutions in nnd
about the Tacoma have by their patronage placed the stamp of ap
proval upon our prices and the business policy we pursue. Therefore
we hold steadfastly to the theory that despite any temporary advan
tages we might secure by resorting to exaggerated statements, faked
up Closing Out and Reopening Sales, etc., etc., we shall continue to
call a spade a spade, and sell legitimate pianos only, calling them by
their rightful and well known names.
