BECKER NEXT

FATE stacked the cards on Becker. The trialjudge in his case was elevated to the court of

appeals, which denied his petition, and now hislast hope lies in the clemency ot a governor, who,while district attorney, convicted him.

\u25a0V raw deal by luck, perhaps, but it looks morelike retribution. Becker, as a police officer, wasmerciless. He was an advocate of the infamousthird degree system and an expre>sed believer incapital punishment.

He has alwavs demanded that the law exactits full pound of "flesh?a life for a life, no moreor less.

In cold blood and with calm deliberation heplotted the death of the gambler Rosenthal.

Me took his chances against the law as allcriminals do, only he had the temerity to attemptto make that law his shield.

His crime came home, as sooner or later,crime generally does.

VP TO CARRANZA

Till: Mexican situation to date is thus:The Villa-Zapata faction offers to Ret to-

gether with the Carranzaists and work out a planfor peace, if possible.

Carranza says "war to a finish."For further starvation, looting and anarchy

in Mexico, Carranza is responsible. If Carranzafails to put down these calamities within reason-

able time, he should be advised to quit.

THE FRIGHTFUL TOLLrpill: war in Europe is nearly one year «»IJ. Let'sJ- pause ami reckon the cost, not in dollars and

cents, tor that is too stupendous a task, nor in suf-fering, tor that also is beyond computation.

Hut we may reckon the total, with consider-able accuracy, of those heart-rending bulletinswhich all the belligerents issue with sickening regu-larity?the lists of "dead or missing."

England has issued an official list to May U,showing her losses at 264,178 men, practically one-third of all the forces she has had engaged. Thefigures, tho enormous, are insignificant comparedwith the whole.

The following are estimates of course, butbased on fairly reliable information. They includekilled and missing-?captives, and wounded, allthat have been incapacitated for duty:

Great Britain 265,000Germany 3,500,000France 1,500,000Auatria 1,500,000Ruaaia 5,000,000Italy, Belgium,

Turkey, etc 750,000

Total 12,515,000

These figures, tho startling, are conservative.The total lighting strength of the six greatest na-tions at war, including reserves and unorganizedforces, was approximately 48,000,000 men when

the war began. Thus, in less than 12 months, 2Sper cent of all were incapacitated.

Truly, war, as it is fought today, exacts afrightful toll.

A PROUD RECORD"CM.EVEN members of the house of representatives\u25a0*- J from King county signed the argumentagainst the referendum on the port bill. On theofficial records at Olympia it is stated that theargument is theirs.

In so doing, these 11 branded themselvesliars as well as traitors to the best interests of thecounty.

Their treachery has been recorded in theirvotes for the iniquitous port bill. And now theyadd a lie to that shameful record. Hor the argu-ment against the referendum was prepared andfiled at the request of the "dock owners' trust" ofSeattle.

The "dock owners' trust," seeking to cripplethe right of the people to control their own waterfront, didn't have the courage to stand sponsor torthe fight against the referendum on the port bill.So they got 11 boot-licking legislators whom theyowned to do the "dirty work" for them.

AND THESE 11 WERE SUPPOSED TOHAVE BEEN "REPRESENTATIVES" OF THEPEOPLE!

IT WAS the falling bark of the Ru-*ians that madeNapoleon tire<l Kuo*ian» who won't stand up and lighth\e to ftplit another day.

STILL MORE FOOD

SPIiAkINf i of wheat, you have never thoughtmuch of Texas as a wheat growing state,

have you? Too far south, etc.From Amarillo, Texas, up in the Panhandle

section ?Staked Plains country?for long yearsrated as an arid desert, come tidings of an eighthundred thousand acre harvest. A bumper cropis in sight and near twenty million gold dollarswill pour into the Amarillo territory.

LOOKS AS if the < rar neglected to prepare enoughpowder for a war of thi* «i*e.

SEEMS AS if Kngland's aristocracy can eithersubscribe to the new five-billion loan or ha\e it* incometax raised.

TESTIMONY SHOWS that the I.u«itania wasunder-coaled, had an undisciplined crew and no precau-tions were taken. Maybe we ought to have a law re-quiring public notice of the exact condition of every ;passenger ship before her sailing.
