Give Us Majority Rule
Less than otic-third of tho voters of this state elected Gov. Ernest Lister,
Jemoerat. Less than one-third' elected Attorney (Jeneral Tanner, republi
can. Look over the list of state and county officials. The man who won his
electron by a clear majority of the votes of the people is rare, indeed.
In most cases, the votes were split three ways, in some eases four ways,
tine to the number of national parties striving for victory.
Under lionpartisanship, however, a clear majority will prevail in every
Case.
Under nonpaitisanship. two men are nominated in the primaries for each
pffiae—the highest two. These will then contest for the final election.
The winner will necessarily have to receive a majority of all the votes cast.
This plan, under the lionpartisanship initiative hill, is practically the
Bame that we now enjoy in the city of Taeoma. We had the old partisan sys
tem in the city and we east it off. There is no one today who wants lib to
Sleet our mayors and councilman as republicans, democrats, socialists, etc., as
©f old. In a like manner, our state and county official* should he elected on
a nonpartisan basis—AND BY A MAJORITY VOTK.
Under the present system a minority controls.
We would resi'.-. null. surest to some of our wealthy philanthropists that the time Ips about rl|»e

Very Low Grade of Patriotism
To talk about the need of preparedness, then actually to hinder Uncle
Bain's efforts at preparation has all the car marks of treachery.
Definite information baa come to The Times that certain large business
Concerns in Tacoma are "turning down cold" the requests of employes to be
permitted to attend the national guard encampment or the naval militia cruise.
In defiance of the law, big employers are reported to have discharged em
ployes, on one pretext or another, for active membership in a military organi
sation.
Our militiamen are awake and on the job. Unselfishly they are devoting
many boun of their time drilling and making their organization more effic
ient. A sense of duty well done is their reward.
The least an American employer can do is to give his encouragement to
their efforts.
Tacoma will not stand for wind hag patriotism.
I'ndor Hie circumstances, (lie complaint of the loimshorenien's union la the city council against

If the tocomi'Oteiii Mills were to remain in office long or If there MM the remotest chance that

Why Not Plant Up, loo?
While we are painting up and cleaning up next week, why not plant-up,
too?
The cleaning and painting are Important, but so is the planting. And
there is a lasting quality about the latter to give an added satisfaction.
The weather has heen unfavorable all winter and spring for planting, but
gardeners assure us that there still is time in which perennials and roses may
Be started. »

Confessions ofa Wife
DEAR Mils. s).I,U IN I
EXPOSTULATES
"Don't you think you are mak
ing a mistake, Margie?" Dear
Mrs. Selwin had come upon me as
I lay in the enclosed porch. My
thought! were far away.
"Making a mistake about what,
dear Mrs. Selwin?"
"Not about what, but whom,
dear child," she replied with a
smile.
"Look how ' charmingly that
male bluebird makes love to his
male," I said, pointing to the
trees.
"Don't you want me to talk to
you about Dick?" asked Mrs. Sel
win.
"I always want you to talk
about mi) thing you wish," I an
swered evasively.
Mrs. Selwin looked down Into
my eyes with so much loto and
understanding, and lack of that
pity I have been seeing In most
eye's, that instinctivoly I held my
arms up to her.
"Dear Mrs. Selwin, I know of
what you are thinking," I laid.
"Perhaps I am making a mistake;
I seem to have been making them
steadily ever since I married—but
just what is the particular one
you think 1 am making now?"
"Cutting yourself so completely
off from Dick."
I looked at her in surprise. "Is
not that the kindest thing I could
do to him?"
"1 don't think so."
"But I don't think you under
stand. Dick has many cares.
Must I add the burden of my
affliction to them?"
"My dear Margie, you cannot
by any possibility take away that
biinlen. Fate has taken it oufrof
your hands. You are his wife and
on are helpless. He must bear
his part as you must bear yours."
"Yes, but don't you see that If
Thin Folks Who
Want to Get Fat
Increase In Weight Ten Pounds
or More.
"I'd certainly give most any
thing to be able to fat up a few
pounds and stay that way," de
clares every excessively thin man
or woman. Such a result is not
Impossible, despite past failures.
Most thin people are vtctltnl of
nml nutrition, a condition which
prevents the fatty elements of
food from being taken up by the
blood as they are, when the pow
ers of nutrition are normal. In
stead of .setting Into the blood,
much of the fat and flesh produc
ing elements stap in the Intestines
until they pass from the body as
waste.
To correct this condition and
to produce a healthy, normal,
amount of fat, the nutritive pro
cesses must be srtlflcially sup
plied with the power which na-!
ture has denied them. This can I
probably best be accomplished by j
eating a Sargol tablet with every I
meal. Sargol Is a careful combi-'
nation of six splendid assimilative
agents. Taken with meals theyj
mix with the food to turn the sug-'
ars and starches of what you have
eaten into rich, ripe nourishment
for the tissues and blood and its j
rapid effect has been in many
cases reported remarkable. Re-;
ported gaiiiß of from ten to twen-j
ty-five pounds in a single month,
are by no means Infrequent. Yet
its action is perfectly natural and.
absolutely harmless. Sargol in
sold by Crown Drug Co., Tacoma, j
Wash., and other druggists every-j
where and every package con
tains a guarantee of weight in- j
crease of money back.
NOTE: —Sargol is recommend-1
ed only aB a flesh builder and

taken about using It unless a gain

I can impress him with tbe idea
that all I ihall ask of him la the
material and phyaloal comfort
with which he and you have ao
generously surrounded me, it will
make it easier. lam worse than
a dead wife, Mrs. Selwin; worse
than an unfaithful wife, (or if I
were dead in time he could forget
me, and if I had been unfaithful
he could divorce me.
"Now, whenever he thinks of
me he must understand that my
greatest suffering is not for my
self, but for him, and that must
add to his troubles in spite of all
I can do to make hini feel that
he is perfectly free lo live hla
own life in the future."
1 "That la just it, dear Margie.
Dick 1b not free. He can never be
free as long as you are alive and
lying here helpless. Your as
sumption that he can throw off
all responsibility except that of
seeing that you have purely phy
sical care, shows him aa well aa
me that for some reason you have
lost faith in him."
I did not know what to say,
little book, for she had hit the
nail on the head. If I could not
hold Dick when I was well, at
tractive and active, how could I
hold hlm now?
"Still, I think I am right, my
dear Mrs. Selwin. After a man
Is tired out with the problems of
business he surely does not want
to come home to —this.
"At first ha probably will be
hurt and think J am queer to In
sist that he shall practically live
away from me, at the other end of
your beautiful big house, but aft
er a little he will be glad."
"But, my dear Margie, there is
one thing you have not taken Into
consideration. A man of Dick's
temperament needs a responsibil
ity of just this kind."
I laughed hysterically. "This
la the first time, dear Mrs. Selwin,
I have been able to find any rea
son why 1 should be afflicted In
this way, but if it Is for the stabil
lzihg of Dick's character and the
strengthening of his will perhaps
I should be content."
"That was your despair instead
of your courage talking," said
Mrs. Selwin quietly.
"I could not boar It, dear
friend," I said as I held out my
hands to her. "The only way 1
can keep from going insane Is to
cut myself off from everyone as
much as possible. If I were to
allow myself to watch for Dick's
comings and regret his goings I
would probably begin to ask more
and more of his time. You know
that most sick people are very
selfish.
"No dear 1 must constantly re
member ana try to make Dick un
derstand that he has no longer a
wife In Margie Waverly, but an
invalid who asks nothing of him
that he does not give freely."

Q. —I am a young man, and for some time my hands have
been perspiring awfully bad. This is very annoying, especially
when I go to dances, which I do nulte frequently. How can I
stop It?
A reply through the columns of your paper would be very
much appreciated. T.
A.—This formula la a good remedy for perspiring hands and
may he irrepared at home: Prewired Venetian tolo, 2 oz.; powdered
WW root, 10 <>/.; ovtde of zinc. ."5 oz.; powderod tartinir acid, 5 os.;

Q. —Please suggest a name for a girls' club. There are
four of us and we read and talk at our meetings.
E., R., L. AND C.
A.—"Conversation" is an excellent name for a club like yours.
If you would live up to it and learn to talk well you would have
reason all your lives to be glad you formed the club. If you take
up any special line of reading you could name the club fur some
author whose worka you study.
0.. —Is It true that character may be read from the color
of the eyes? ROBERTA.
A.—lt would not be a good plan to de< i.lf any iieTson's char
acter by the color of his eyes; but it is Interesting to read what the
students of physiognomy tell us about this subject.
Gray eyes are said to indicate dating, enterprise, coldness and.,
constancy.
Light bine eyes indicate delicacy ..■*<! gentleness, combined with
a romantic but submissive disposition.
Baric blue eyes betray sentiment, impatietice, conceit and a
aeneo of humor.
Light brown eyes tell of a love of ease, conscientiousness. In
tolerance and melancholy.
Dark brown eyes indicate imagination, penetration and vehem
ence.
Green eyes belong to persons of intuition and courage. *
Persons having yellow eyes are usually magnetic and shrewd
and they love luxury.
