AWAKENS THE MAYOR , Mayor Miller's sudden realization of the iniquity of the “For Men Only” encouraging promises of municipal reform that has emanated shows that infest the city is one of the most from the executive office in many a day. These “shows” made their appearance in Seattle a few weeks before » opening of the exposition, and since that date have been conducted with glaring signs and blatant music on the principal streets of the city. Early in their career The Star called the attention of the city authorities and the public gen erally to their nefarious existence, but evidently his honor was, as At that time it was generally understood, and this understanding has med, that these the exposition and gather in the nickels and ustal, too busy to take any official notice of them since been confir “shows” had it fixed to run during the life o dimes of the prurient visitors to the fair. But it now appears that this belief was all wrong, On the coatrary, the mayor modestly admits that he has been fretting and chafing over their existence since carly in June. His offi cial peace has been sorely disturbed and his official conscience has cried out for a reformation. June, July, August and Septem ber have all been pushed back into the past, and all these months the mayor has been carefully watching the progress through the council of an ordinance that would prohibit these shows Step by step he has followed it through the maze of municipal legislation until it became lost in the depths of some committee room. In the meantime, naturally, the “shows” continued to do a rushing business with the strangers within our gates and Mayor THE STAR—WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 153, 1909, j Started at the Bottom in Their Efforts to Learn All the Details, and in the End Succeeded. BY HARRY G. FARMER, The kite is really the father of the flying machine, A kite with a a8 engine aboard ts, in fact, what has solved the problem Tt was the hope of talking a ride in a big cloth kite-a hope which many a boy has echertehed in his heart—that set the Wright brothers to experimenting with what be- came, seven years later, the first successful fying machine. “Lot's build a kite strong and light enough, and with enough sur- face to lift a man,” said Orville to Wilbur “About 5600 square feet of surface ought to be enough to lift a man. Anyway, we ean soon find by trying how big the kite should be, We will make the kite some thing like the Hargreave box kite, with top and bottom surfaces. Then 1 will get in between, and you take the rope and run with the kite.” This was the plan as proposed by the younger brother, Wilbur said: FIRST STAGE, AT TOP ON SECOND STAGE, ON RIGHT, W THE “GLIDER” AT KITTY HAW Miller bore his sorrow and disappointment in silence. But now, when the exposition has still three days to run, patience has ceased to be a mayoralty virtue. No longer will delay be tol- erated, and the voice of his honor is heard reverberating in the corridors of the city hall, demanding in stentorian wrath, “Where is that ordinance?” Se determined is the search for that ancient and missing ordinance that the mayor cannot answer any letters or spend any time investigating the various grafts that are daily called to his attention. The ordinance will be found and passed—the mayor is determined on that—but by that time the “For Men Only” men will have folded their suggestive signs, boxed their mechanical pianos, crated their alluring lithographs and silently stolen away. Of course, the fact that without the exposition these “shows” couldn’t make enough in a month to pay rent for a week, will not mitigate in the least against the reformative value of the mayor's intense moral activity. _What the exposition really need-) Mr. Crane's swift fate clearly ed, in view of recent events, was a demonstrates that the art of ling ttle. | Mr. Bryan says that Taft didn't/ tariff bill, Isn't it! @mough that Mr. Aldrich kuows ali_ ie Maybe when Mayor Miller de termines “How oid is Jobany?” he will find time to reply to Ole Han son.
