Ask for the Clroulatton Depart- m Fighting Hard Bat Fair “Through The Star I want to thank the people who stood by me. And I want to say that I harbor no animosity against ‘The Star. You folks have always wee" ‘as but you've done r fighting in the open."—Hiram C. Gill. 7 ‘That ie nint Mr, Gill said to The Star the day after election, And this newspaper considers it to be one of the finest and most sincere compliments ever paid to it. The path of an absolutely independent and honest news- paper is not the “primrose path of dalliance.” There are plenty of rocks and even boulders to be encountered and removed from that path, : But The Star, while driving straight ahead unswervingly In its plainly marked course, le ing hard and straight ~ from the shoulder, as always tried to fight fairly and squarely ‘with those men and those interests with whom it differed. The Star desires and has always made an honest effort to be broa liberal enough, even kind enough to be a ne per for all the people, to tolerate all men who are honest with them- Selves and to recognize that honest men do differ. And that is why The Star appreciates and knows the worth of an acknowledgment of “fair play” made by a candi- date for the city’s highest office, who was the choice of nearly half of Seattle. ‘ The Star led in the effort to elect Mr. Cotterill at a time when it was known the fight would be desperate, simply be- causé this newspaper sincerely beliewed that his election would be for the best interests of all the people of Seattle. And s0, after the hard won victory, it equally appreciates this state- ment made by the city’s new mayor: * “The Star has been our tower of strength throughout the and final campaign, again displaying its strength and @8 a champion and protector of the people's interests ‘against all special privilege aggressors and every vicious in- fluence. A community is — tee — an independent, for ae Sea people’s paper. May it our homes help illuminate our pathway to justice and prosperity.” [We're All Just Folks Feller citizens of Seattle, we are all just folks.” We're jonated and more or less “sot,” and we don’t always know (when we're licked. But down under the hide we've got red Blood in our veins and love in our hearts, and a modicum of —. in the place where Friend Hi says some folks store ir breakfast food.

God gave us the finest spot in the geography maps on “the Pacific coast, with a deep, still harbor, afd with high hills and pleasant valleys all around. Let's do our part. Let's ‘take it a better, a finer, a happier Seattle than it has ever been. PITTSBURG SUN, every Fed. 29, is to be edited by women.

Seattle, Wash, March 6, 1912 To the Editor: 1 wish to congratulate you the great fight mada Bnd the great victory won for a ciean city. Without your efforts, we Id have gone down to utter defeat. I hope your reward will he al r, better and cleaner Seattle and a better business for Tie Star, One. thing I seriously regret, and that is your continued fight against “Big Business.” The trouble is, you do not distinguish to your readers what you mean by “big Business,’ , Your own business would be “Pig Business” to some. Our lumber business would be “Big Business” to others. You and I know that many kinds of “Big Business” are conducted Bonestly, honorably, and are a godsend to the locality or community where located. . You do hones?, honorable employers of labor an injustice by refer- fing indiscriminately to “Big Business” without complain of. What Seattle needs is more “Big Business” of the honorable quality, and I feel you hurt the cause of the common a, when you wage an unceasing Warfare against “Big Business,” 3 t specifying the “Big Business” that is unjust to the working man. Again extending you my heartfelt congratulations, believe me, re- pectfully, CLYDE ©, CHITTENDEN, Edgewater Mill Co. Seattle, March 7, 1912. To the Editor: From a newspaper standpoint, the recent municipal @lection was The Star's fight and The Star's victory, 1 wish at this time, myself and many others, to speak a word of appreciation for the men women who, from the beginning until the end, gave their time and to Mr. Coiterill’s campaign, and more particularly Messrs, Snyder, , Morau and John#on and Miss Case, While there were a host of iid people who helped and without whom the victory could not have won, yet thuse mentionad above counted nothing dear unto ives, but from the beginning cheerfully gave themselves and theirs for the success of civic righteousness. Very truly yours, THOS. P, REVELLE. Seattle, March 7, 1912, To the Editor: Ag @ teacher, I wish to thank you for the splendid victory that you have won for the boys and girls of Seattle. I know that the teachers of the city appreciate it. Very sincerely yours, MARY A. D. BRENNAN, ’ To the Hattor: Just a hurried line to say: OUR SMILE REACHES FROM EAR TO EAR. The victory is not alone for a few men and Measures, but a victory for evolution of humanity and {ts attendant present-day democracy.
