That, under all the circumstances, any man could con template such a thing as Mecker says he intends to do must be beyond the understanding of the normal human being. If in the heart of this old man there is not sufficient love for these dumb animals—the oxen who drew him by day and the faithful dog that watched over him by night—to at least per mit them to live their natural lives, then we have all been mis taken in our estimate of Ezra Meeker, We have been applaud ing the feat of one unworthy of our applause. We have been wasting our time on someone undeserving. The Star has no apologies to offer for its interest in the oxen and this dog. It pleads guilty to a sympathy with them, &@ sympathy almost as great as we might have for a human being in the same predicament—a sympathy greater than we could possibly have for any human being, no matter what his predicament, who would do what Ezra Meeker says he intends to do. OUR PROMISES TO BALLARD ‘The refusal of the finance committee of the city council to favorably consider Armstrong's bill providing for a sub treasury office in Ballard, is unfortunate and unfair to the peo ple of Ballard. During the final annexation campaign, at the close of which Ballard voted to become a part of Greater Seattle, the people of that suburb were promised, in the event of annexation, a branch of the city treasurer's office. The promise was sin cerely made and the residents of Ballard believed that it would be kept. It matters not that West Seattle and other suburbs may Immediately cry for like treatment if this branch treasury of- fice is established at Ballard. Ballard was promised the office ‘and her people are entitled to it. A moral obligation rests upon the council to carry out this pre-annexation pledge THE VALUE OF A SMILE Statisticians accurately measure the wealth of the mines and of the farms, and even of the seas and the air—billions upon billions! But there are no figures vast enough to express the value to mankind of so small and simple a thing as a smile. It is a material world. We value as riches only the ma- terial things we can grasp and hold in our hands. And, yet, the real treasures of life, that give to all these outward things their meaning, are of the heart. Material riches? Why, but for so “intangible” a thing as sunlight, the whole material universe were black nothingness ; but for “intangible” heat, not the smallest atom of earth could exist; but for “intangible” colors and fragrance, the fairest, aweetest flower were but a weed; but for the ight and warmth and fragrance of a smile, the most periectly formed human face were only a lifeless cast. It would be very interesting and highly instructive if one could compute the value of the part which the smile has played in the part of humanity. But, like the ray of sunshine that comes from the boundless heart of universal Love, it is free nothing—and so cannot be relatively valued, And, like the sun shine again, it gilds with glory all it falls upon, and so is limit less in value. Impossible as is this computation, there are few of us who’ ‘intangible’ ~it costs of a THE STAR-+SATURDAY, JULY 25, richer sweetness, them before throwing them out And now they say when we catch a lot of Mies we must f Isn't it awful, the dangera we @ threatened with and that our grandparents know not of The steam roller, used first at Chicago and later at Denver, han beon returned to Chicago for the use of Magineer Hearst when the independence party holds {ts national convention, oer ~ ~~ Some of us women have a habit nying our@lves things that} we want just because we do want them, Just as kittens play with mice, #0 we play with our happiness.
