Let the Truth Prevail!
We Yearn For Excitement
I
As newspapermen we yearn to have duplicated in Tacoma some of the stirring events that have
been thrilling Seattle (and in a second hand way, the rest of the state) during the last few days. Think
of the fun and the excitement of getting out papers with glaring headlines all about the "Raid on
North End Cellar," or, "Sheriff Seizes Country Club Boose Cache"! That is, of course, in the event
that any of our local aristocracy or any of our country clubs still possess caches or cellars.
The local dry committee, however, is not inclined to look with approbation on such maneuvers. Its
members reason that such raids may be fine stuff from the spectacular standpoint, but that they really
do not accomplish a great deal for the community good nor for the good of the dry law. They favor raid
ing and punishing every boot-legging establishment, but leaving homes alone. To raid homes and
clubs, they fear, might cause a wave of reaction against the law. They probably are dead right in their
.reasoning, and as friends of the dry law we concur in their wisdom.
However, if anybody is foolish enough to seize a wagonload of booze that one of our loealCroesusee
has cached, far be it from us to refrain from mentioning the fact.
HOW CONGRESS MEETS SITUATION
The strongest action proposed at Washington
In the matter of the latest butchery in Mexico is
a senate resolution, which promptly goes to the
archives of the committee on foreign relations.
That resolution, boiled down, reads:
"Preamble. Corpses of 18 butchered Ameri
cans sho wthat Carranxa cannot or will not pro
tect American lives in territory under his con
trol.
"Resolved: Unless Carranza gives and en
forces guarantees for protection of such lives,
bis failure to be demonstrated by more butcher
Health In Dollars and Cents
There are far too many people in this land of ours who can't grasp or understand a thing unless it is
put up to them in the form of dollars and cents! Therefore Dr. Irving Fisher of Yale quietly set to
. work and figured out, from government statisties,that "needless, sickness, death and fatigue" annu
ally costs this country—GUESS! » ■•
Well, the enormous sum of $1,500,000,000! (One billion and a half.) Think of it. Fifteen hundred
million dollars wasted yearly just because the most of us won't take a few minutes each day to fill ifp
our lungs with fresh air, to exercise, to heed the need of moderation in eating and to THINK about the
condition of our health. ■
Perhaps, it will sink in deeper if we pick out one disease. Take tuberculosis! Statistics show th«t»
the average cost of each death averages $8000. Well, in 1914 there were 75,000 deaths from tubercu
losis in the registration area of this country (which includes only 66 per cent of the population) so tie
money loss thus represented—REACHED THE ASTONISHING SUM OF .$(300,000,000.

A.—At the courthouse In the county seat of the county in which
*9_» girl lives.
Q.—Would you kindly advise me as soon as possible the
proper markings of an English Setter dog. or where I may find
a book on dogs? rj h.
A- —The English Setter Is a cross between the field siuntlet and
tM pointer, and should have a soft coat with a slight wave, but no
MOrl in the hair. There is a great variation in color, which is valued
aeaoi-dtim to the following scale: Black and white ticked with large
■aplaahrs. or the Blue Helton; then orange and white freckled, known
as the •oiaiute Helton"; black and white with tan markings; and
Mark and white.
Books on dogs may be obtained at the public library.
Q—l am married now over a year and in that time I have
worked about three months and saved moat of the money I
earned. So a short time ago we bought, an automobile. I paid
three-fourths or a little more than that, of the noney of which
I earned, and he paid the rest.
I want to leave him but I want the money I put into it. I
want him to buy it from me. He said he would but not cash
and I don't trust him. I am going away from this city, so how
eoold he pay me? Can I sell the machine, or could he put a

WATERING THE DESERT
The English are putting down 1500 miles of
water pipe in the desert east of Suez as part of
their plan to defend the canal.
But no one is astonished. The war has changed
the habit of our minds. We now accept as com
monplace the most extraordinary ideas which
no man ever thought of in a thousand years of
peace.
Also let me say to the wilful girl and boy: Mother knows
best. Had I taken the good advice of my mother, I would be
happy today.
Both the man and myself are trying to Uv4 a good pure
life. Have we in this failed
ONE WHO WANTS TO DO RIGHT.
A.—lt would seem that you have failed inasmuch as jrou went
so far as to declare your love for each other. Under the cirrum
stances, it would have been much wiser to nip your love in the bud.
Whether you fail in the future remains yet to be seen.
tarn presume too much. Only until this love is tested, ground
in the hard, unyielding miU of ex|»erien<e will you ever know if it
is true and everlasting. If it is true and everlasting, then It must
be a virtue rather than a sin and it will elevate yon, inak-> you
stronger and better even though the man and yon are forever sep
arated.
Whether you have sinned is not for me to judge. That question
can be answered only by your ronarience and your (Jod.
Q.—l am coming to you with my trouble, which to you
may seem a mere trifle. But Miss Grey, my heart is simply
crushed.
Up until a few weeks ago my hushafld and I have gotten
along splendidly. Then another woman entered into our lives.
Until then he had never given any woman a thought, of that
lam quite sure. But with her he seemed so different, I could
scarce help but notice every little attention he paid her- And
finally it came to words with he and I.
He had never before spoken even cross to me. But when
be got started. Miss Grey, It seemed that there was no end to
my faults and fallings. He certainly told me his true opinion
of me. And Oh—some things were so hard I could scarcely
believe it was be who uttered them. I thought his words would
surely kill me.
He has asked me to forgive him, which I did, for I could
not do otherwise, loving him as I do. He says he only had a
brotherly love for this woman. Now Miss Grey do you believe
such a love can exist between a man and a woman, especially
when they are almost total strangers?
I am having such a hard fight trying to forget It all.
Should I treat this woman the same? She was my beat friend.
Please give me your advice. I want to do the right way.
WORRIED.
A.—lf anyone who reada this has ever proved that a brotherly
love can exist between a man and woman under theee circumstance-.,
will tliey kindly come to the rescue? Tlte writer believes It impos
sible. Brotherly love would not cauee a breach, even temporary,
between husband and wife.
'!"«• ••Worried" I «oul«l say: You have proved yonrself big
enough and broad enough to forgive your liusliaad in the most trying
position. It would be a big tiling to forgive the woman, too* Be
cause you love your husband yon will naturally be quick to place
all of the blame upon her shoulders. Di.n't lose night of the fact
that it takes two to play at sach a game.
Q. —I am a widow 79 years old. I have been a widow 12
years. Have lived in this state eight years I have no lueapa
of support. Can I get a widow's pension? M. M. 8.
*—Yon are evidently thinking of the mothers' penal** Jay .
This state haa no pension for widows mm yet.
