While one cannot help admiring Mr. McGraw for his public- spirit, for his progressive genius, for his single-eyed attitude to Seattl eventful greatness, taking all things into sideration it is very hard to reconcile his present range of thought with his for record For just now Mr. McGraw is standing in his own shadow @ustriously rolling boulders tn Seattle's path of progress As president of the chamber of commerce he has come out flat- footed in opposition to the organtzation of the new Seattle commercial clab, We can conceive of no other reason for bis position that that of devotion to an honored tradition which supposedly sheds a hato about a well-established, conservative, time-honored body like the chamber of commerce, of which he Is the active head. ‘We fear that Mr. McGraw with a feeling of self satisfaction over laurels earned in the past, has not kept pace with the times; that he fe allowing the chamber of commerce to retrograde into the niche of Venerable but useless institutions Progress and advancement are the shibboleth of the hour for Se- attle as well as for any other community.

So there is no time for any one, not even President the chamber of commeres, to stand in its way. ‘The Star wants it understood that it lays the responsibility for the actions of the chamber of commerce upon the shoulders of its president, Mr. McGraw, And with that understanding, it would Ike to ask Mr. McGraw the following personal questions “What has the chamber of commerce done im the past two years toward realizing a greater Seattle? “What is the chamber of commerce doing today end?" “What plans has the chamber of commerce for tomorrow?" “What, for a specific example, is the chamber doing toward up- Ddallding our navy yard at Bremerton?” “Wha. is it now doing toward bringing new industries to this elty?” “What bas it done toward encouraging the Milwaukee and the Chicago & Northwestern railroads to make thelr terminals in this eity?” Everyone knows that eventually these roads must come to Paget sound. It is the direction of their natural growth; it ts the line of least resintance, and they are the railroads most nearly within our If Mr, MeGraw will answer these questions fairly and squarely, ‘The Star will give his reply the most conspicuous publicity, for the simple reason that if he has any reasonable defense for his attitude, the public should know it.
