He bitterly denounced what he termed ‘soap box” or presidential pri- an “open avenue for fraud and violence” unless properly sate guarded. Discussing the recall of judges, to which he is unaiterably opposed, President Taft made a di- rect slap at Col. Theodore Roose velt, asserting the recall of the ji» diciary would never do, adding that it was impossible for alt the people te directly participate im the func- tions of government.

Why The Star is the only paper in Seattle that has its press room open at any time? Why it invites the merchants of Se- attle to investigate its circulation claims? Why it guarantees its circulation in its ad- vertising contracts? Why it asks no favors of anyone, but gives a square deal and re- sults to everyone? Why, certainly, there’s a reason, viz.: The fact that it guarantees and has a Daily PAID circulation in excess of 40,000 Advertising in The Star pulls results be- cause its readers read ads and believe in the policy of co-operation and patronize the merchants who advertise in The Star. Their patronage can be secured in no other way. Everybody in Seattle reads The Star.
