NORTHWEST Telegraph News scmurre ane MEMBER OF THR LEAGUE OF NEW Bervice of the United Frese Association Raniered at the postotfics, Seattle, Wnah., ae second ‘clase matter, Published by The Star Publishing Company every evening exeept Sunday JUST BECAUSE Many years ago when people thought there were “gentle and men, a gentleman enjoyed the privilege of wearing a sword at his side, suspended fr Of course, the who worked with his hands, wasn't permitted sword men” a belt common man, to w ar a One reason for that was that the “gentleman” wouldn't have any advantage over the common man {ff all men wore swords, and might get In serious trovble when he abused the common man. Anyhow, tn order t the gentleman's sword belt might not slip ddwn and get awry, the tailor sewed two buttons on the back of his coat; and those buttons held the sword belt in postition Many years have passed since the days when gentlemen wore knee breeches, satin coats with skirty talls to ‘em and pretty swords dang ling at thelr sides. But nobody has ever had the courage to take those two buttons off the back of long-tailed coats. And although we don't recognize “gentlemen” by birth nowadays, and men don't wear swords, the but tons to hold the belt up are still there, Nobody knows why the tailor sews those buttons there now. The tallor himself doesn’t know, About ail he knows is that he never saw a coat without them; and It was the ne way with hie father before him, That is just one little f{llustration of what slaves to habit and/ custom all of us a We do things their hers did party ticket or There isn't one pcause our fathers did nging to a church awyer in a hundred who has enough ortginality to think out a new legal precedent; and there isn't one judge in a hun dred who {sn’'t a slave to precedents established years and yeare ago. And many of these judicial pre nts are about as sensible as those, buttons on the back of a long-tatled coat . Last year the people of Ohfo amended their constitution. One of the amendments granted home rule to cities. The supreme court has just decided, by a tie vote, that the amendment doesn't operate auto matically, and that the cities can’t have home rule except by legtslative| enactment Why have a state constitution at all?" asks Mayor Brand Whit lock, of Toledo. “Constitutions were all right when all power came from the king, and he granted certain power to the people through & written constitution. But when the people of the state are the source of all power, why should they fetter themselves with a constitution? If they had no constftution, then no court could declare unconstite tional a law enacted by the legislature or the people themselves.” The answer {s that states always have had constitutions, and hence always will have them—just like those buttons on your long-tailed coat. Constitutions have been used to fetter the people, just as franchises have been used to rob the people. And some people have got so tired of seeing Big Business skin the public by beating it over the head with its own constitution that they would like to see one state burn up its darned old constitution and worry along without one. Then the people could enact any law wanted, and judges couldn’t repeal the law by judicial decision. OUR STRONGEST DEFENSE Secretary Bryan does well to flay unceasingly the dishonest manu facture of war sentiment by those who seek a profit out of war scares. In most wars greed is the exciting cause and the victims men, women and children who would have no hand tn the profit One of the most hopeful signa of the times ts the growing unwill- ingness of workingmen to be stood up in rows facing each other in order to shoot each other when between them there is no quarrel A hundred years ago no workingman anywhere would have thougmt | of resisting an order from the sovereign to march to the front, regard- less of the merit of the sovereign'’s contention, and pump the subjects of the opposing ruler full of lead, treatment. Today, over large areaa in Europe, the bonds of tnternational fra- ternity among workers are so strong as to make doubtful how far a war order, based on greed or aggression, would be observed by the men who would have to be relied upon to do the shooting. The patriotism of the workers is not less than formerly, but thelr intelligence {s increasing. They are coming to feel that If they must supply the targets they should have something to say about starting the fracas. Peaee offers abundant scope for the fullest exercise of the war. ike spirit. Persons who enjoy fighting can make war on disease, poverty, on {gnorance, on vice, on the various fils which bedevil hu manity and@ obstruct the improvement of human welfare. And they may do so with the knowledge that, in proportion as their belligerency is efficient, they are benefactors, not scourges, of the race. This is peculiarly true in the United States. We need, of course, a military establishment to do necessary policing in emergencies. But our greatest insurance is not In soldiers or battleships, but in the intel- ligence, welfare and virtue of the people. in building these up we construct defenses which no enemy can surmount. It's up to the people now to put the final quietus on the Harbor Island real estate graft d “frenzied finance” scheme. The port com mission has done its share. The people must now vote to transfer $3,000,000 to the East waterway. This requires a three-fifths vote. If that vote fs not forthcoming, the Harbor Island deal, !nvolving $5,000,000, continues in effect. The Ayers crowd are mustering their forces and will present a solid front—they need only 40 per cent of the vote on June 17. Do you get the point? Register, if you haven't done so already, and vote on June 17 for the East waterway. We note that the bride at a high-toned ‘Frisco wedding was “a deautiful girl of an intense artistic temperament.” That's the sort that | let mother wash the dishes and do the laundry. Some girls are cursed with beauty, and some with {ntense temperament. A combination of these two curses 1s to be avoided at the altar.
