After the fashion of poets, he was something of a seer. He was ahead of his time. He saw the needs of the world and gave expression to them, long before the multitude caught up with him. He is often of obscurity, but this criticism can certainly not be applied to these lines n and California papers and ranchers in the country accused “Keep the young generations in hail And bequeath them no tumbled house.” Long before the progressive before the battle cry of “human rights as a rights” was heard in America and England ! was preaching the doctrine that we have no excuse to culti vate the present at the expense of the future; that we have no right to indulge our own sweet fancies and let posterity foot the bill. On the contrary, he bade us always remember the young §enerations to come; he bade us put the house in order; he movement was in being, long} property English p. besought us to try to make the world a little better place than|change is a yrost we found it. And that is the essence and the soul of the great altruistic Movement which is syeeping the world today and which for want of a better term we call “progressivism.” Observations THIS is the season when all cafe ing for the succulent Dungeness crab inhabitants begin hunt with knife and fork VICE PRESIDENT SHERMAN is reportex dition today.

NOW that they've gotten to the bottom of the Roosevelt campaign expenses and have discovered that it cost $141,000, it would be mighty interesting reading to have published what it cost Cousin Bill to get the G.

Ha! I think I can safely Published the most forcible editor. | Say that I have read every article jais and head-liners (front page) of which you were capable, in advo- cacy of judictal recall. In your ar. ticles you invariably placed special stress and emphasis upon the point that the judicial recall is the very core and kernel, the crux, of all the various issues brought forth in the present national campaign. You have again and again made it doubly plain that beside the judicial recall you considered all other is sues of even less than secondary importance. Wilson, the democratic candidate| for president, has repeatedly stated in terms that cannot possibly be mistaken, that he is wholly and ab- solutely and unalterably opposed to the judicial recall. A few evenings ago The Star had Occasion to publish some election Predictions of Gilson Gardner's, which was, as a matter of course, perfectly proper and all right to publish simply a: litical news. But what, in the name of ali the gods at once, was the oc- casion of featuring the Wilsonian Predictions, even more glaringly Prominent than you would the ac- tual results of the morning after November Now, then: You expect, of course, and rightly, that every true progressive will support your pet local candidate, “Bob” Hodge, for) governor. That is just exactly what a half dozen or more of my progressive friends and myself (all Nifelong republicans) had intended doing. But in all common sense and de. cency, and from the standpoint of & square deal (the progressives’ motto), do you think it a matter of Ted-hot encouragement to an earn. ont and loyal progressive to have a Wlison partisan flaunt a copy of The Star of September 25 in his face with the jeering exclama- tion: “There you are! e what Your Star says now!” Mind you, the average, unthinking reader often goes no farther than your lines!
