E SEATTLE STAR a had el ee yan oe bavi fal tenes = =5 Es Aen OF © per mon. up to Pablisning This Wonderful Period There never was such a wonderful period! We never before knew #0 much or could do so much. We never experienced an age of equal womfort. No part of yesterday was as glorious as this hour, A mere hundred years ago even a scinetiat thought the atmos phere was simply space—that gas was only a smell. The first microbe hadn't disclosed his identity. Metahnikoff’s announcement of battling hosts in every drop of hu man blood would have earned him a padded cell. The best iumination George Washington could secure came from tallow dips, lighted by striking a spark from flint and steel, Every plece of fabric was woven by hand, The only horse-power was four-legged and wore a tall, : The steam boat was still building on the ways of Fulton's brafn, and the wheels of the steam engine had moved only tn Stephenson's e os took Benjamin Franklin two weeks to send a letter from Boston an t a reply from Baltimore. ° ibrabam Lincoln's angular frame never reposed In a Pullman berth.

Almost every dream of the past is a reality today. The magic cities and the fairy kingdoms of your grandmother aren't half so wonderful as the world in which you live. The wizards, elves, pixies, gnomes and djins of legend, gether, never did as much in all their historied years: as wi plished in the last decade. Plan It Early, Woodrow Eugene Debs, whose party seems to be about the only making heavy gains, says: radical tariff revision, Big Business will be heard from in a way to make the democratic congress and admin istration hesitate. If the democrats persist in their efforts, the same interests will precipitate a panic which will paralyze the country and discredit the democracy.” hire are others than professed socialists who look upon the future as does Mr. Debs and the first duty of the triumphant democracy is to study out plans by which to meet the political revenge of Big | Business and render it ineffectual as regards national prosperity, for “certain it is that the democracy must a radical tariff reforms if would stultify itself before the wor' Ht would not tied ranle of 1907 was cleverly engincered by the money in behalf of Big Business, Uncle Sam relieved the pinch on cred- ore and banks all the country, by taking millions over to Mr, "s New York shop and permitting him to loan it out at very Interest.
