"CRAFT."
Seattle is the latest of American communities to make an effort to sweep its house clean of graft. The reformers have begun vigorously—not so vigorously' as in San Francisco? but perhaps with a solid bdsis of working. Women, who were very active arid, influential : oh • the side of reform in San Francisco, are more so in, Seattle, and there they have the franchise to aid them. With the support of the women, the forces opposed to graft threw out of office Mayor Jiiram Gill, who was accused of protecting the city's surveyors of vice. They elected a reform Mayor and a reform City Coun-. oil. Now they have succeeded in gaining two indictments against the late Mayor's chief of police, C. W. Wappenstein, on charges of receiving bribes for the protection of evil resorts.
