Not in Pharisaic spirit, but in humility and in joy, let us thank God that we are not as other people! The greatest thing in the world is to be a civilized man, ia one of the enlightened nations of the world, this year of grace 1912, The Montenegrin women this month have seen their men shot down by Turkish bullets, and have forsaken nursing y Turkey this month have had strangers, have suf to man guns. The women of the veils torn from their faces by fered the shame of flight through public streets, no longer protected by the terrible power of the Sublime Porte, but reduced to meré wisps of womanhood, drifting toward Asia like dry leaves before the blasts of war. and Christian women this month have seen their children burned in Turk-kindled flames, and have slain themselves for very horror and dread of the woes that come to women in Oriental war, Russi Aa Inportent Election On Monday next the annual port election will be held Depending, as Seattle does, to a large extent, on its har- bor development for its future commercial supremacy, this election deserves important consideration at the hands of the people. The term of the new commissioner will be three years, The period thus covered will embrace the all-important completion of the Panama canal and all that it means to the Pacific coast and Puget sound. What Seattle is to do to scize upon the opportunities of the Panama canal for its advancement, is to be done immediately. The port com- mission is taxed with the greatest development work in that direction. The port commissioners are charged with tremen- dous responsibilities, And the people of Seattle owe it to themselves to elect the right sort of commissioners. Go to the polls Monday and vote. . ° ° Sentimental Lie Nailed “Unele Joe Cannon leaves the house with the love and respect of friend and foe alike.” This is the report that is gaing the rounds of the senti- mental organs.

EDITOR’S MAIL Editor The Star: We read in history of the brutal race from which we sprang and the evolution through which we became civilized But when we come to Investigate our prisons, courts, and officers of the peace, it looks as though we were retrogressing toward the Dark Age. Where is our humanity? Where is our civiligation? If there are humane societies, let them (go into our prisons and take notice of the savage treatment that the prison- ers undergo! It is awful, unjusti- fiable, aud malicious. Gov. West of Oregon has set a good example of prison manage- ment. It bas proved a success.
