And it is this same Mr. Vanderveer who, a few days ago, pulled from a drawer in his desk a copy of The Seattle Star and marked several articles therein, volunteering the informa tion, as he did so, that he “didn't like those kind of stories.” But The Star has no quarrel with Mr. Vanderveer. It was/ his duty to investigate thoroughly the charge of Mr. Shank and to prosecute the editor of The Star if he considered him guilty of criminal libel. The fact that Mr. Vanderveer “didn't like”| the article complained of by Mr, Shank is of no importance to The Star. The Star feels thoroughly capable of conducting} its own affairs, and the editor af The Star will determine what} shal! or shall not appear in the columns of The Star. Mr. Van-| derveer takes himself altogether too seriously. | For the information of Mr. Vanderveer, Mr. Shank, Mr.| Howe and ali others who may be interested, The Star desires/ to say that it will continue from day to day to print the truth, | no matter whom it affects.
