SEATTLE ah atolly t months Bix montha $1.16 “We were too busy to take up the case during the une term, Too many important and urgent cases.” hat is the reason given by Prosecutor John F, Murphy for not taking up the complaint, filed a month ago, alleging Violation of the cight-houx law for women, He said it would come up in the October term of the courts Maybe The Wappenstein trial and.the grand jury ses sion WE “important and urgent cases.” The handling of "em very probably consumed all the brain work and time of the prosecutor's office. It may be necessary for the women of Seattle to wait at Teast four months to see the strict enforcement of the new eight hour law, and to hear a court’s opinion on the matter in a suit alleging violation of that law—a suit which is really represen tative of many other alleged violations, The women have waited long enough, heavens knows, for the passage of the law itself. They can work and wait a while longer beiore all secure complete protection But The Star would like to emphasize the fact that this suit regarding the eight-hour law question is every bit as “im- portant and urgent” as any Wappenstein trial, grand jury ses- sion or other big legal business involving the best interests of the people. And no mistake will be made by prosecutors’ offices and courts in so considering it. Rev. Louis Shreve Osborne of Newark, N. J., says, “ad- visedly and soberly”—Damn the ice and milk trusts.

Let us be humane enough to pray for cool weather on July 27, when the senate will take up the wool tariff revision. No home is safe. No institution for the care of the unfor tunate is safe. No church is safe. No school is safe. The Sys- tem extends its tentacles everywhere, to stifle, degrade, ruin. At the head of a Methodist chirrch of San Diego is Rev. Dr Guild. He preaches the rights of man and, as a citizen, fov the granting of 50-year street railway franchises to the Spree interests. The System is intriguing to end his days with his ference of the church, next September.

It is interesting to such as may be curious to know how Uncle m's sheets balance, but aside | from the mild interest that always attaches to the mere figures | that represent fabulous sums of money, most of its tables make = exceedingly dull reading for the good old summer time. There is one little table among them, however—stuck way down at the bottom of the sheet and marked merely “memoran- dum”—that commands more than mere passing attention. This is the memorandum “showing the amounts due the United States from the Pacific railroads on account of bonds issued in aid of their construction.” It runs like this: Name of Road. Principal. Interest. Total. Centrat Branch Union Pacific ................ $1,600,000 $2,047,638 $3,647,638 Memorandum? Well, rather. It reminds us, not merely that the Union Pacific owes us a little matter of three or four million dollars—that’s nothing—but it reminds us further that tatives in congress, legally robbed us of an empire, to say nothing of those gold bonds granted at the rate of trom $16,000 to $48,000 per mile of track. Memorandum? Well, we guess yes! It reminds us of the miserable scawdal of the Credit Mobilier, of how the Pacific toads grabbed those “ten alternate sections” per mile, of how » they bulldozed and tyrannized over the poor-homesteaders who heid land along their lines, and of how they side-stepped and juggled to get out of reimbursing the government for its aid. Memorandum? It is such a memorandum as we should al- ways have before us, lest we forget the financial iniquities of the days when the great transcontinental roads were built by taxing the nation for the furthering of private ends.
