THE SEATTLE STAR _ “Wiohang ‘ath FHWRSF LAG ull Teased wire mews « per having f Ansoctations. The desire of appearing to be wise often prevents our being so.—La Rochefoucauld. Would you be a billionaire? It’s easy. All you f billionaires, if John D. Rockefeller k on the morning Christ was born, at a e of $1,400 a day, and had kept steadily at it, working 300 days a year, from that day to this, he wouldn’t be any richer than he is now. Still on the delectable subject of great wealth, let us remark that there are in these United States— One billionaire. Six thousand millionaires. Forty-five million people living in rented houses, Speaking o' e to wor! had and . Eleven million, two hundred fifty thousand living in mortgaged homes. 3 Well, what are you g ‘cing to do about it? |s eing America First Baby Franz Sohes was dying. His parents were steerage passengers with him on a great liner. They were bringing Baby Franz to America, the land of liberty, that he might become free, perhaps rich, possibly great. But he sick ned in the stecrage, and the ship’s surgeon gave no hope. The little fellow must die—free only of the wide spaces of parental love—rich only in the treasures of parental ambition—great only as KING of a mother’s heart But Immigrant Sohes could not let Baby Franz die with no knowledge of America. Like Moses, the child who was to s away from them must see the Land of Promise. 50, as Fire island light loomed into view, Sohes took Baby Franz to the rail and held him aloft. Whether or not the last flicker of the heavy lids yielded him a view of America we may not know; but the father and mother drew from the expression of the glazing eyes the pitiful comfort that the ch id HAD SEEN AMERICA! And afterwards? Afterwards Sohes went ashore to be hustled and derided as & “wop,” a “hunk,” a bit of the scum of the earth. Nobody taught him our language. Nobody tried to make him happy here. The vaunted liberty he aspired to and loved in advance turned into the false liberty of taking a job at wages which we him only a mere living—and tMat he had in Europe Bohes went into the saloon, the ward meeting, learned graft and police tyranny and industrial tyranny, and perhaps anarchy —all this in America, to which he directed the dying eyes of his child as a thing to make his death something honorable What SPLENDID equipment for citizenship did Sohes ess! And what SMALL CHANCE for these qualities to develop! Brethren, these things ought not so to be! LIFE is energy. Human labor-power human energy Therefore, when a workingman is looking for a job, he is simply trying to sell himself—in sections. And the average wage of the American workingman is less than $700 a year By the same token—— If Billionaire Rockefeller draws down 6 per cent annually, his income is $60,000,000 a year, or $200,000 for every week day. Question: Is the human energy of Jawn D. worth so much? is A Cure for Tuberculosis Consumptives are a hopeful class of individuals, and no donbt they will be thrilled with the promise for them held out by the research workers at Johns Hopkins University at Balti- more. And if, as is stated, rabbits inoculated with tuber- culosis have been cured by an anti-toxin there discovered, there is good ground for hoping that the dread white plague has at fast met in science a foe which will rout it from its field of death and misery. Hope for consumptives! A cure for tuberculosis! It is the thing which medicine has long sought in vain, and which it were the grossest cruelty to announce without the best of rea- sons. For to announce a cure, and then fail of producing it, would lift thousands of unfortunates to the heaven of bliss only to cast them down again to the hell of despair. It is to be noted that the doctors have not announced a eure. But it is stated on what seems to be good authority that one of the various anti-toxins against tuberculosis which are being experimented with at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere has shown wonderfully hopeful results in the treatment of infected rabbits. One rabbit was inoculated six months ago, and then was given the anti-toxin. It seemed to get well. It took on weight. Its appetite improved. Then it died, and the doctors thought they had @giled-again. But a post-mortem showed no tuberculosis. The animal had evidently been cured, and then died of other causes. Other rabbits were inoculated with enough germs to kill them, if untreated, in a few days. They were given the anti- toxin, and are all in excellent condition. Evidently the anti-toxin has killed the tubercles. Let us hope that this promise will come to full fruition, and the greatest plague of modern times be eradicated. It would be the greatest of all the triumphs of medical science. It would iift a burden of dread from the souls of millions. Primaries Tomorrow The regular primaries for the nomination of candidates on the democratic, republican and socialist tickets will be held to- morrow. Also voters will have the opportunity to select the candidates on the non-partisan judiciary ticket for the Novem- ber election. Eighteen candidates for the superior court bench will be nominated and from these nine will be elected in No- vember. The character and the caliber of a majority of the men offering themsel for these positions on the bench are far above the average and there should be no excuse for the nom- ination of an unfit man In the republican primary, the withdrawal of the progres- sives gives the leading candidates their nominations by default. Hay for governor has no serious opposition within his party The same is true of Humphrey for congress. Possibly 1,000 votes will be enough to nominate either of these men. In the democratic primary, on the other hand, there will be a sharp contest among the candidates for governor, and this may tend to draw many votes from the republican ticket. The socialists have put up only one candidate for each position, and consequently a few votes will serve to nominate them. The polls will be open from 11 a. m. until 8 p. m. to TOO Kh tk SEASIDE “Lucile,” said the haughty lady. “Yes, madam?” said the maid. pa “Look we Bes the window and see if any other lady is using ie ocean, not, I may take a bawth.”—Lou , i pe oulsville Courter.

De Wolf Hopper settied back in a chair in hie dressing room at the Moore, with « smile on his face, \He had just left the stage after making his famous curtain speech in anewer to the third recall at the conclusion of the first act. The ap- plause of the hungry audience could still be heard. Reaching for his old German pipe and lighting it, he said! “Yes, they like It, they always doj that's why we all enjoy this revival of [the Gilbert & Guilliv operas. verywhere we go the people are the same way. a seome that after 60 much light opera and “girl shows for the tired business man” the peo ple are ready to hear some real big A happy family. ‘ousy, such ae you so often read of, |ls unknown among us.

With nine principals of extraornt- nary merit and a good-2inging. well- trained chorus of 50, the company presented the old and ever popular “Mikado,” Among the principals De Wolt| Hopper stands out the most promi- nent. The big comedian was seen! at his best in the part of the Lord/ High Executioner who “hated to| kill anything.” Always a tireless/ worker he put forth every effort last night and had the audience con- vulsed a great part of the time. ugone Cowles was heard to ad-) vantage as the Lord High Every-| thing Else, His stature and voice were especially suited for the part. Many regrets were heard because the Mikado, played by George Mo- Farlane, did not make bis appear- ance earlier in the play. During the short time he was on the stage though he won the house with his) i work and rich voice. Arthur Ajdridge sang the tenor) role of Naki-Poo very pleasingly.) Pish Tush, as played by Arthur) Cunningham, was a source of de) light. The beautifal soprano of) Blanche Duffield trilled above the chorus in the dainty part of Yum) Yum. Kato Condon made a humor. ous Katisha. The company will) play the Mikado again tonight. To- morrow night they will present) “The Pirates of Penzance.” } FOREMOST ARTISTS | TO APPEAR FOR MUSICAL CLUB Plans made by the Ladies’ Mu sical club of Seattle for the winter seasn of 1912-13 include concerts and recitals by some of the fore- most artists of the United States.
