Member of the Untied Press Mabed dally by The Star M tag Oo, SIXTY YEARS OF OPPORTUNITY A dispateh from Middletown, N, Y,, tells of the retire Monticello Republican o! ment from the editorship of the Maj. John Waller after an unbroken editorial career of than 60 years Think of it! more For 60 years this man has spoken to his people from the printed page. The babies whose births were in the first issue are now old or gone from earth, States, king- doms, political parties, issues, the center of population, national problems and needs—all these have changed; and through all his newspaper has had to do with public opinion, which makes and unmakes conditions, and furthers or retards the common Did he know what he was doing? Did he have courage to speak the truth always? Was he swayed by sordid considera tions against divine truth? Was the torch he upheld each week the be Or was it a false light luring voyaging minds upon rocks and shoals of error? Did he con of righteousness? inspire his readers, sometimes by direct exhortation, some times by the spirit speaking between the lines, but always to encourage in the right; or was he a blind leader of the blind, filling the ditches of futility with the goo of what once were men? He who writes this never agw a copy of the Monticello Re- publican, and therefore does not know the answer, But the country editor who serves his town for any fraction of 60 years cannot escape being of good or evil influence to his people. And so it is with all newspapers. They may speak twaddle or filth or falsehood. They may uncover the foul things of the neighborhood. They may pander to the local Mammon, They may worship in the temple of Baal all these foul altars exist in every postoffice town as in every city, Or they fight the battles of the truth, find and heroize the champions of righteousness, tear the sheep's clothing from the wolves that spoil the sheepfold, sound the trumpet for the struggle with wrong, or broaden the horizon of every mind by the manner in which they report the doings of men and the changes in things. lly shapes may The man who {nvents a set of{ Recalling the Tony Richardson undetachabdle fingers and a powder incident, it doesn't seem entirely proof eye for celebration purposes appropriate for Mr. Palmer to con can take the same haughty view | stitute himself the defender of the of life as the Wright Brothers. pr of the supreme court Seattle has made another ad-| Just as we appeared to have vance towards being the New York struck an Interesting losing streak of Gie Pacific.

Its not a bicycle, nor a motorboat, but a little of each, only the motor in this case is the agile and amusing Frenchman himeelf. If somebody rocks the boat there will be an awful splash in the Seine, where these peculiar machines are just appearing. Floats are attached to a special framework, and the gearing which makes the propetlor go around is connected by a chatn. But it is when the French land-and-water traveler gets on the boulevards that he makes hfs real hit. Then he pulls a string and the peeuliar-looking water machinery is hauled up on a level with his knees, The result is a vehicle of the most extraordinary appearance. — = ss: THE STAR EDITORIAL AND MAGAZINE PAGE NIGE LITTLE GAME OF THREE SHELLS AND ONE INCOME TAX |Here’s the Program by Which Congress Will Put to Sleep Both the Income Tax and the Much- Vaunted Corporation Tax.
