Member of United Press. Published Daily by The Star Publishing Co, Botered at Seattle, Wash, postottion as eecond-ciaas matter, THE CUP THAT IS CLEAN OUTSIDE BUT FULL OF EXTORTION AND EXCESS INSIDE John D, Rockefeller, the world’s richest man, haa just given to the University of Chicago $10,000,000. Andrew Carnegie has transferred to a board of trustees $10,000, 000 in 5 per cent first mortgage bonds, the revenue of which will be used “to hasten the abolition of International war” and establish a lasting world peace, In this connection it shouldbe remembered that the concern from which the pious founder of the University of Chicago de- rived the aforesaid $10,000,000 Is perhaps the moat tniquitous as well as the most powerful in the world, Also that there has never been peace, or anything distantly resembling peace, in the great stee! mills at Homestead, from which the smug donor of the peace fund derived his great fortune. With this passing reference to the manifold tniquities of the Standard Oll Co, and to the dreadfal annals of the Homestead mills, we go on to present the following comment on the benefac tions above mentioned, as passed years*ago, by a young carpenter of Nazareth, called Jesus, Yor unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!” for ye de Your widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers; there fore shall ye receive the greater damnation. “Woe unto you, seribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint, and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weight fer matters of law, judgment, merey and faith; these ought ye to have done, dnd not to leave the others undone, “Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel! “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, Dut within are full of dead men’s bones and of all uncleanness, “Rven so ye also outwardly appear righteously unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers! the damnation of hell? WIDE-EYED, NOT WILD-EYED Once upon a time (and this is NOT a fairy tale) the wise pol- fticians waxed and grew fat in Oregon, as tn every other state of the Union, largely by gravely pointitg out that ft is Impossible for the people to vote intolligently on laws; that they needed a legislature advised by Xeen lawyers to do the deciding on the wisdom of meas ures, for them. Some places the wise politicians are stil! saying the same thing and still waxing and growing fatter thereby. In Oregon—well, in Oregon the people just recently got for themselves a law protecting the workingman, a real, effective, hu- mane employers’ lability law—a law giving justice for whom justice fs Intended—-for the many aa wel! as the few, ALL THIS, MIND YOU, WITHOUT THE AID OF A LEGISLATURE ADVISED BY KE LAWYERS. ASA MATTER OF FACT, OREGON HAD BEEN TRYING, BEFORE THIS, TO SQUEEZE JUST SUCH A LAW OUT OF ITS LEGISLATURE FOR FORTY YEARS Now, the Oregon folks didn’t kick up much of a fuss when they ‘went out and did for themselves what their legislatures wouldn't do. And when, before and after the law became law, the wise politicians and the trained legal minds of corporation lawyers, branded the Measure as dangerous, visionary, wild-eyed poppy-cock, and a lot of other things not so nice, the Oregon folks weren't a bit disturbed. There's a reason for that. It's this: Oregon voters had their eyes open. They saw exactly where they were going. They saw clearly that their new law was none of those things the trained lawyers sald of it-that it w: nd ia JUST GOOD, OLD-FASHIONED COMMON-SENSE VOICI COMMON-SENSE SENTIMENT FOR COMMON-SENSE JUSTICE, They were widecyed, not wild-eyed, those people of Oregon. And, best and broadest of all in their new employers’ liability law, is the demonstration of the tendency of the American voter (for Ore- on voters are just average) to move In the direction of common sense when the shackles preventing free movement (such shackles How can ye escape If You See a Man Walking Down the Street Bareheaded, Don't Kid Him or Sympa- thize With Him — He's Doing It on Purpose. Have you goné in for the “no! hat" fad yet? Most fads are ox pensive, but here is one that you can take up and still keep tobacco money in your clothes. How this hatiess fad can gain a foothold without producing a lot of sneeaing, wheestng, coughing followers |s somewhat of a mystery to most of ua who even catch cold from setting the milk jars out on the back stoop unless we take the precaution to protect the roof of our pilot house with some sort of covering Another pecullar feature about this fad is that a large percentage of the persons who go in for it are well enough fixed financlally to af ford a flock of new hata every morning should they care for them The ferry boat which leaves the Woat Seattle slip every morning about 9:80 carries along a passen: ger who stands on the front deck with hat In hand until the boat has | reached the Seattle side of the har bor, Through the coldest days of} winter, when the other passeng are crowding around the radiator! inside the boat, this gentleman calmly stands outside and lets the | breese blow through bis pompadour with evident relish, } Renton boasts of a no-hat faddist, | who walks to and from work cach | }day with never a thought of wear-| ing a hat.
