Who can deny that at least one person loved Judas Is- cariot? That arch-traitor, whom all men today hold in execration, has at least one friend who never execrated him, one who never utterly forsook him, who never spoke ill of him or even thought ill of him, who loved him tenderly and whole-heartedly always. This one person was the mother of Iscariot. And so it may well be said truly of Nero, of Caligula, of each of these monsters whose names are now anathema among men, had at least one friend whose love followed him even i the face of the hatred of all the rest of the world. human guise was born of woman and suckled at woman's breast—was bought at the price of pangs such as no man can know and nursed with a proud joy such as only a mother can feel. Be sure that neither Iscariot nor Caligula ever drifted so far from the heart of the world as to get beyond the reach of his mother’s love. This mother love, transcending in its steadfastness all other finite love, is well worthy of more consideration and reverence than we are wont to accord it. We are wont to take this great love as a matter of course, like sunrise or the quenching rain, as something too common and matter-of-fact to be worthy of note or celebration. It is worthy of greater honor than we have given it thus far. It’s time we were thinking of the wonder of this love. It’s the nearest approach to the divine that is vouchsafed us in this world—it's time we were waking to its profound significance. For it is, indeed, profoundly significant. For truly this is the love that keeps the world in order. There is a kind of love that is supposed to “make the world go ‘round.” That saying is true, in a sense, for that love is a sort of centrifugal force. the force to balance the other and keep this whirling world from flying to flinders. Tomorrow is “Mothers’ Day.” It has been set apart as a day sacred to the celebration of this great love. You might do worse than to devote a little of that day to thinking about this love and its bearing upon yourself. At the least, you might send your own nmwother a postcard, ‘or give her an extra kiss. You could hardly do to do a great deal more. less than that. It might not hurt you take, somewhere, sometime. roller towels in public places. Makes Frisco’s other victs shake in their boots. Woman is the most interesting subject the world over, just now.

Remembering Uncle Sam’s difficulty in break-| ing up that little Mormon arrangement whereby the women did| the clinging, we risk little in guessing that China will have her troubles in tearing loose those clinging gentlemen of Thibet, and she must combat one feature that Uncle Sam didn’t have to. What a woman has is hers, be it hatpin or husband. She feels this much stronger than does a man and is more willing to fight for it. However, the Thibetan wife settles all differences between husbands by turning the disputants out into the back- yard for a fist fight, and maybe China can solve her Thibetan problem by ordering nice battles royal for families wherein poly- andry prevails OF LATE, Bob Lincofm has been having much to -say about what his father, “Old Abe,” wasn’t, but has forgotten to or one of the lions of Chicago's 400. “BERLIN ironworker named Willeck got a week in jail for laughing at a fat policeman chasing a rioter.

Correspondents should append their names and ad- dresses to communications, not for publication—uniess permission is ex- pressly given—but as an evidence of good faith. Lette not more than 200 words.) Editor of The Star: register a kick, American kick. We have «all heard that the “walking public” must be protected from autos and motorcycles, and I am sure we are all agroed that the rights of the pedestrian must and shall be pro- tected, but there is something else that should be respected, and that is the rights of the small boy, the future men of our country. Every one knows that the small boy has certain rights, without which life for him ts just one thing after an- other, and we also know that first and foremost among these is the right to play ball, What would spring be without the ball game on every vacant lot in town? Where would the Ty Cobbs, the Hans Wagners, the Chief Benders and all the warriors of the big stick come from if it were not for the ball game on the vacant lot? Stop the small boy's game of ball, and where would the big leagues find players? How could there be a world’s series and how could the American pub- Ne live through the fall without a world’s series? Knowing, then, that the small boy's game of ball ia very important to the welfare of the public, can you imagine my sur- prise when I learned that a police- man, @ big, burly policeman, had stopped a ball game yesterday at the corner of Madison and Minor? Is this fair? Should the small boy be interruptedsin the midst of the only typical American institation we have? Shall the great American game be endangered because a few matrons want an afternoon nap? Baseball is the small boy's privilege and the man’s delight. Let the.beys play ball. THOMAS W.

Many of the restaurants} and cafes are the scenes of numer. ous re-unions of the fly family and soon their cheerful song will be heard tn every kitchen in the city if every man, woman and child in Seattle will go forth tomorrow de- termined to make war on the pesky creature, if every housewife and cook will buy one of the handy little “swat brooms” and begin a} )" vigorous campaign of extermin- ation, the results will be surprising, for right now, when they are eom- paratively few, a few minutes work each day with a “swat broom” will not only greatly diminish the num of flies, but will give the swatter much-needed practice, #o that soon every swat will mean a fly. J. T, ALLENBAUGH. Editor The Star: While the “city beautiful” and “clean up Se @tle” fever is on I would like to ask what's the matter with the water wagon, the sprinkling cart? The warm season is approsching and even now the un-paved streets are thick with dust. A ride on some of the car lines in the north end of town is as bad as a trip across the Sahara desert in the midst of & mensoon. The dust stirred up by the car rolls in the end in a choking, stupifying cloud and is very disagreeable and an- noying. Surely this condition ean} be altered.
