Her brown eyes had go #lints in them Her hair, « bronze brown, was rolled back from her face and con fined in a becoming Juliette cap made of bronze braid and tiny peart beads, Her complexion had lost some of the freshness of youth, but still retained its cole in cheeks and ips. Her gown was of laven der charmeuse, made somewhat fuller than is the fashion of today Hits of ce were placed upon the gown as garniture and softly fell away from the slightly low neck and elbow sleeves Mra.

Very true. So far as merely physical phenomena are concerned most. of us may have schooled ourselves to dis- unite them wholly from coming cvents. But as regards those things which spring from the inner consciousness, the intui- tions, the perceptions, the aspirations, the agination, which, if strong enough, is capable of creating and peopling a realm wholly outside of the little life we live—“Ay, there's the rub.” It is then we agree with Hamlet: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, ‘Than are dreamt of in your philosophy!” Who will undertake to span the gulf stretching out a shoreless void between the revelations of science and the incomprehensible mysteries of life itself? It is upon that debatable ground that superstition retains 8 foothold, and, like the ivy clinging round old walls, defies every attempt to uproot it. Observations THESE are bargain days in pardons for criminals who ¢an show political pull. CAN'T blame the Northern Pacific much. You'd take $250,000 worth of land for $i, too, even if you did have to take the gift from Hay’s standpat regents. THREE hundred thousand dollars is available for the construction of the city car line, and Division A will soon be under construction. Seattle will be leading on the coast with a publicly-owned street railway line. NEW YORK has decided on swift and sure justice. It took a long, long time to settle one Harry Thaw’s case. But the case of Charles F. Becker, gambler’s pal and police lieutenant, was decided in two short weeks. and his sentence to the electric chair followed right after the verdict. THE issue is becoming clearer every day: Kick the po- litical bosses out of politics, the bosses who want putty Gov. Hay and don't want the initiative, referendum and other Progressive measures, and who don't want “Bob” Hodge. “TRIMMER” HUMPHREY vows that never again will he put down in writing, as he did in the Blaine postoffice case, that he will obey the mandates of the county chair- man, the political boss, rather than meet the request of 95 per cent of the community, “Experience counts.” THE Wall Street Journal innocently told\the truth about the standpat administration in this State, not stopping to weigh the matter from a political standpoint. Now the Hay Gangsters are furious for it clearly shows up why they are 80 desperately attempting to keep the putty governor in office for another term. THE “New York,” world’s biggest battleship, was launched yesterday. She will carry ten 14-inch guns, and a crew of 1,000. Her cost is over $12,000,000, Twelve million dollars would take hundreds of families starving and dying in the slums of the huge cities and place them on the smil- ing lands of the west.

The cry ts coming to us every | day about the discomfort of the) open cara, but there are few wh have nerve efough to get in and try to better it. The men who have to work on those cars are even more exposed than the passengers, and I know of more than one case of pneu- monia that has been contracted from an all-night run on an open car in the rain and cold. What we need is 4 general protest from the people, and it must be agitated through the paper's print. Will you help us? Thanking you very much in advance, I remain yours very sin- corel, A CAR MAN, Editor The Star: I wish to say a word in support of Judge Black for supreme judge, The bench must be filled from among the lawyers, and it is grow- ing increasingly diffieult to supply the bench with disinterested and fn- corruptible judges, When valuable rights or property interests are im dispute, there is nothing more essential to the per- petuation of our institutions than that the judiciary remove Itself far from the zone of evil influences which seem ever present, prompting biased judicial action, thus forming a cloud of suspicion obscuring the glittering light of judicial disinter- estedness and bringing the courts into disrepute. Of couhse, that unhappy condition could be rendered impossible by de- cisions wholly disinterested and un- biased. The people are primarily reapon- sible for electing judges who wear the hideous mask of selfishness and deceit. It is that which has given life to the recall movement through- out the land, which movement will go forward unless the courts dofft the mask. With Judge Black, bias, prejudice and dishonesty on the bench for po- litical preferment, or otherwise, is impossible, JOHN W, WHITMAN, Olympia, Wash., Oct. 29. 1912.
