l'RRIDAY, AUGUST I, 1913.
BLETHEN AND THE BLACK
FLAG.
The lime is opportune for A 1*1
en J. Biel lien Lo pull down the
American llag from the top of his
editorial page in the Times and
substitute therefor the Jolly
Roger, with the crossbones and
skull.
The' black llag is the only one
under wliich it is proper for him
to pursue his piratical newspaper
career.
The American (lag is dishonor
ed and disgraced by its use in
the Times.
Just now Biel hen is seeking to
cause a recall election that will
inevitably bring about further
stagnation in business and cause
sharp distress to all of Seattle’s
merchants.
Little does he care that anoth
er recall campaign would rekin
dle the smouldering animosities
that were developed in the last
attempted recall and which would
thiss time develop into a fierce
conflagration.
Just so he can carry out his
revengeful purposes upon Cot
terill, if mailers little what else
happens.
There will rally to Ilie Times’
support quite naturally all of the
vicious elements in the city, the
advocates of license and debauch
ery who are opposed to the thing's
which are decent and clean.
We would again have a sharp
bailie with the forces of disor
der which were Anally routed, as
everybody thought for the last
time, when Wappenslein was
sent to (lie penitentiary—that
“Dear Wappy” whom the “col
O’ el” loved!
Util there would rally on the
other side, no! ujnler the Jolly
Roger with the crossbones and
skull, hul under the Hag of law
and order and true liherty—un
der Hie red, I he while and I he
blue—all of the people who are
worth calling America)! citizens,
the men and women who believe
in the protection of their homes
from vice and its hideous conse
quence's and who are determined
to make Seal lie o|ne of the best
towns in the United States, not
only ’commercially hut morally.
And then we would see which
side would win!
II is no logger a question of
Collerill. II matters little whe
ther he did or did not make a
mistake lasf Saturday in closing
up I he saloons and declaring a
sort of martial law.
It is a far wider and bigger
question. It is whether Bletheji
ism shall lie allowed to terrorize
ahd dominate this city.
Tear down the American Hag
from your editorial column, Al
den J. Biel lien, and ru'ii up Ihe
Jolly Roger!
It is the only fair way to play
tin* game.
Even the Devil will so advise
you!—Seattle Sun.
