A Western reader urges a global strike by mothers to refuse childbearing until disarmament. The piece argues war harms women and children, calls for women to shape policy, and chides men for dominating war. It frames motherhood as a political force absent in male decision making.
The piece accuses Senator Jones of backing a substitute slum bill on Mrs. Woodrow Wilsons plan while denying defense of slums. It claims clever legislative tricks are used to cripple measures and then claim support for public approval.
A columnist describes how a president could push war through and proposes a constitutional amendment to transfer war declaration power to the people via a special election. It would punish prowar advocates and draft those who supported war, arguing for public accountability. The idea is presented as a timely check on jingoism.
Curated gag lines and light exchanges from editorials and columns including quips about shopping travel neighbors and love pledges. Brief scenes feature a desk, a trombone joke, a kitchen pudding moment, and a marriage proposal exchange for period flavor.
Two readers comment on local employment conditions in Seattle and support for sheriff Bob Hodge. Allen P. Drake from North Yakima notes workers lacking jobs amid apple harvests. William McMillan endorses Hodge after 17 years acquaintance.
