TLE STAR a SPATE That best portion of a good man’s life— His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and love. —Wordsworth, People Do Honor Upright judge Hanford went out of his way the other day in Ta- coma to warn Judge Cushman, the new federal judge, against the “maligners.” “You will always be subject to criticisms of those whom you are called upon to de- cide against,” said Hanford. : Facts right here in Washington brand Hanford’s uncalled-for statement as false. George Donworth was on the federal bench over two years, yet during all that time not a breath of sus- picion was raised against ‘was made against him. Judge Rudkin has been on the federal bench for over a year and he has heard nothing but praise for his conduct and his decisions. ; The people do respect and honor an upright and honest judge, just as they despise a corrupt judge. If a judge fair and honest judge to the people, the people will be more than fair and just in return. BY REPUDIATING Hanford’s decision in the Olsson} case, ‘Taft has put the judge in an awful predicament Clearly, after this slap on the wrist, Hanford can’t stand for the good | natured president. Most certainly he can’t support either} Wilson or Roosevelt, the progressives, and probably he's not a follower of Debs. Apparently the only course left for his honor is to vote for the prohibition party's candidate. } “Atmosphere” atmos There is a school of philosophy which teaches that “ , is the phere”—the influence of association and environmen most potent element in the shaping of one's life. , “Atmosphere” in this sense is a condition of thought Thought makes it what it is, and thought alone can change it If other people have the power to make an atmosphere that can influence you, why can't you make it for yourself? You can, for we all have that-power. But few realize it. You can, if you will, make an atmosphere for yourself that] will force others to feel it, and through it demand and bring out the highest and best in yourself and those about you In doing this your environment and conditions will soon be bent to your touch. F ‘Any one who would succeed must learn to realize this power of right-directed thought. ; Failure comes from doubt and fear and discouragement. Success comes from confidence and courage. Thought creates either atmosphere. A FEW days ago a woman wrote a letter to The Star, complaining that she could only find one restaurant in town where smoking was prohibited. A spirited discussion in re- ly has followed. Do YOU think no smoking should be al- Br in most public places? A New One Com New York editors are patriotically trying to dissuade women from adopting the proposed Robespierre styles from Paris. q We don't know what a Robespierre gown looks like, but} swe do know that in Robespierre’s time the French woman wasn’t half dressed, physically or morally speaking.
