There’s Romance in the World Yet We are all more or less sure that the days of real sport fre over, and that adventure and romance have fled the work- aday world “Yo be sure, a man dropped from an airship the other day, to test a machine he had made, He wanted to see whether or not he would be killed or saved in the operation! i And another man stayed in the machine, while it bobbed about a thousand feet in the air as the parachute-tester dropped off. Dear, dear, what a prosy world! Oh, Robin Hood, and Tom Faggus, aud Rob Roy, Boone and Kit Carson, and Grizzly Adams, and—- To be sure, Buffalo Jones went through Africa last year, Jassoing animals, and letting them go—all sorts, including lions, Just roped ‘em, and handled them as one would a colt, avhile the movitig pictare machine photographed them. And as for Dick Turpin and those gentry of the road—did you read of the taxicab robbers? Too busy? Well- Five yeggs in New York City—tight on the island of Man- hhattan, arranged matters so as to rob a bank of its cash while the same was passing through the thronged streets of Gotham fn broad day. Past roundsmen, traffic policemen and thou- sands sped the taxi, a gasoline-impelled emporium of robbery. ‘And it worked, too. The ROAD AGENTS got $25,000. The five robbers went into a saloon to divide the swag, and while doing so, in walked a little chap weighing a hun dred pounds, and five feet tall, and glaring at them through thick glasses, made them give up at the pistol’s mouth $10,000 of their $25,000.

But still he has $3,333.33. The open sea beckons! He takes ship to Havana! He becomes acquainted with a ‘senorita. And the senorita frisks him for $2,500! CARRAMBA! These, dear reader, are the actual facts of things which have occurred within the past month, in this country of ours Here’s violence, battle, love, change of fortune, everything! No illusion? Not particularly thrilling? Well, the doings of Rob Roy were no more romantic. We've got past the boy- hood of the race, that’s all. We shall never enjoy those again, stealing watermelons, nor hop-scotch. We're too mature. i romance of the future lies in other realms. The Law for Women _ The supreme court of Colorado has definitely established the duty women when approaching railroad tracks. The! duties of men may be in doubt, but the women may know ex~| actly what the law demands of them. | “A woman approaching a railway crossing of the public, highway must exercise that degree of care and circumspection an ordinary prudent woman would have exercised under the fame circumstances. She must look, and continue to look, in both directions, as well as listen, until she has reached such Proximity to the track that further care is not necessary,” says) the court in deciding recently the case of the Colorado & Southern vs. Luther.

Editor Star: I want to congratulate you for the heroic fight you have made for right. I always tell good people they ought to take The Star. One man | talked to sald he would take The Star for a year to show his appreciation of the work you have done in this election, Very respectfully, F, M. BIRD, Grocery and Real Estate, 3403 Fremont Av., City. Editor Star: In order to get INSPIRATION on the election, we opened a y Bible carelessly, and our eyes fell upon this “Behold! he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. “He made a pit and digged it and is fallen into the ditch which he made, “His mischief shall return upon his own head and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.”—Psalme vii.: 14-15-16, Nuff said. How does this fit our friend Hiram? Sincerely, 3920 Twelfth Av. N, B. W. B, GIPPLE. Seattle, March 6, 1912. Editor Star: You will, perhaps, appreciate the fact that your paper has proven an inspiration to the people, with whom rests the decision of important problems. The appeals were all made to man’s higher sense of doing. Those who worked so faithfully for this great victory deserve much credit, and by working as they did for the right, they un- doubtedly will get results in comparison to the efforts put forth, One can safely say that without such wholesome articles to buoy them up when things looked dark, they would. have been more easily ewayed. In brief, your articles have been to the public what was necessary to es- tablish absolute faith In George F. Cotterill, the man whose election was one of Seattle's largest and most desired victories, A READER, Segttle, March 6, 1912, Editor Star: A lady who appreciated your efforts in behalf of Mr. Cotteril! wishes me to send you the inclosed articles, showing her ap- prectation of your efforts in the matter.
