A Streetcar Rap
EDITOR THE TIMES:
In reply to Mr. Bean's advertise
ment now running in the papers
regarding the nickel that we pay
for the privilege of riding in his
(?) cars, 1 have this so say:
Carfare is something you hand
indirectly to a group of gentlemen
to manipulate the stock of a com
pany that ls paying on the Install
ment plan for the car which you
buy the privilege of entering.
The process is simple.
First, as a citizen, you vote to
elect to office a man who votes to
sell tho carfare privilege to others,
who in turn, votes to water the
stock for the benefit of certain in
siders.
Second, as a passenger, you pay
twice as much as the service Is
worth, to provide enough money
to pay Interest on the stocks and
bunds watered beyond the labor
spent on the road.
Third, you stand up while doing
it.
It's a game of uplift:
A put-up, a stand-up and a hold
up.

Nagging Mother
EDITOR THE TIMES:
For many years it has been my
custom to dine or visit at the home
of a friend and, to my dismay, 1
always found that I was glad to
get away from it after a very' short
stay.
This girl ls really a lovely girl
in many ways, but her mother has
fairly ruined her with constant
nagging and faultfinding. She
can see her daughter's faults,
never her virtues.
The girl's hair is never just
right, her face is either too shiny
or has entirely too much powder
on it; she should have worn this
dress instead of that, or these
shoes instead of those; she should
have said this or that to Mrs.
or should have said something
else.
The girl is now a nervous
wreck, horribly self-conscious.
Fearing that her mother would
not approve of her doing or say
ing a tiling, she has her mind on
herself constantly thinking out
every word or movement before
carrying it out.
Never being right in appearance
in her mother's eyes, lias caused

Culp, who stands alone in her

Use Paper
EDITOR THE TIMES:
The wonderful value of paper
for keeping one warm should be
understood by everybody.
Perhaps particularly so this
year, when clothing, coal and food
are so costly.
A year ago in our cold snap I
brought the subject up to a boot
black. He explained that he had
a family of 10, including two
i babies.
1 told him of some of the ways
that he could use newspaper for
keeping his folks warm. Several
weeks later, in the hardest part
of the winter, he rushed up to me
on the street and thanked me for
the good that he and his family
had received from using paper in
the cold weather.
Now, If everybody were to bring
this subject up now, at the very
threshold of winter, many can be
saved much suffering beyond
doubt. 1 believe every newspaper
in the country should at this time
print information on the use of
paper as a protection against cold.
Furthermore, school teachers, min
isters, settlement workers and
others could bring up the subject.
crated, and then hurried back for
more provisions and help.
A large party of men, supplied
with five days' provisions, Ktaited
Wednesday to the Nisqually. It ls
believed that the lost man and
woman, unable to find any ol.ner
way back to civilization, are fol
lowing the Little Nisqually river
down stream. This river flows
into the Nisqually several miles
down, and this stream enters a
narrow and dangerous canyon.
Near this canyon the couple is
expected to he found.

Unfairly Treated
EDITOR THE TIMES:
I want to make public through
The Times a rank piece of injus
tice to which I was subjected re
cently in Seattle.
On Dec. ill was arrested from
the Grand Central hotel, where I
was stopping, by Detectives Hub
bard and Fortner.
They told me 1 waß suspected of
robbing a woman in 1910.
1 was put through all the Ber
tlllon red tape, photographed and
measured and the rest of it, and
kept three days in the city jail.
While there I was thoroughly
"sweated."
Then I was taken to the county
jail and held throe days more.
While there I was badly mis-treat
ed by the 1. W. W. and other pris
oners in charge of the kangaroo
court. Because I did not want to
pay them $2.40, I was thrown
naked into a bathtub of water
onto my head and severely Injured.
These men acted as if they were
intoxicated.
I was injured sufficiently to be
kept two days In the hospital
ward.
Then finally they came around
and Informed me I could go, as
they had nothing against me. As
a matter of fact I was in Butte,
Mont., at the time the crime was
committed.
When I was released a consid
erable amount of my personul
possessions was missing, includ
ing a $2.f>o pocket knife, a flash
light, a comb and some other
things.
The P.-I. and Seattle Times
both printed stories making me
out to be a tough character and a
criminal.
What I want to know ls, hasn t
a law-abiding citizen any rights in
BeatUe?

Says Husband
Regards Her
As a Sister
Complaining that her "husband
regards her as a sister," Alice
Bigger filed suit for divorce
against John R. Bigger in the su
perior court Wednesday.
She says she married him when
she was 18, and as she was "young
for her age," didn't understand
what she was entering into.
She declares she "has uo love
for her husband, only sympathy,"
as he is 1 3 years older than she.
Their continual attempt to live
together, she asserts, is wearing
on her, and she can't stand it
much longer. She aßks for the
household furniture and the chil
dren, while he is to get the hone
and wagon.
Divorce suits were filed by Ly
dia Jones against Thomas Jones,
charging desertion, and by Stella
Rychecki against Nlckoly, charg
ing cruelty.
