FAC SIMILE, FRONT PAGE, THE TACOMA LEDGER

It is more widely quoted than any other daily on the Pacific Coast, for it has something: to say, and the faculty of saying it. The editorial writer treats topics connected with the news of the day, and indulges in few abstruse theses. His work is for the most part not for the scholarly few, but for the plain multitude. The Ledger believes in dealing with the practical things. It endeavors to maintain a high moral tone, and to advocate always that which is best for the family, the community and society. By constancy in this course it has caused itself to be respected.
