Why should it not be a challenge to the Old World, where the man child is reared in order that a king may have no lack of cannon fodder when he is pleased to make war, and where the woman child is reared to be mated with the man child, and in travail bring forth soldiers for the king? The reception to be given Sunday to foreign- born residents of Seattle, who have been natura ized within the past year, has a significance which will not escape the persons honored. It will be brought home to them that they are wanted and welcomed in America. They will be made to realize what it means to be an Ameri- can, An Englishman may go to Germany, but he cannot become a German. A German may take up residence in France, but he cannot become a Frenchman. But any man, of any nationality, may come to America and be an American. We have come nearer than any other people to realizing the Brotherhood of Man. Let us, then, dignify citizenship, as did the ancient Greeks. Kings are crowned amid solemn pomp and circumstance. An American citizen has the same sovereignty as a king, even tho it be widely distributed. It should have the same sanctity. So it is meet and right that we should wel- A LITTLE BIT OF MOST ANYTHING }| MR. GREY'S HOUSEHOLD HINTS, from squeaking.

The “Americanization” movement fs nation- wide, Nearly 100 cities widely scattered will to- morrow welcome their foreign-born residents. The Star would like to see the idea extended to native-born citizens. There should be citizen- ship days for new voters when those coming of age could meet in an auditorium of some public school or other place of public assemblage, there to take the oath of allegiance, pledging them- selves to the service of community, their state, their country, and all the world beside, not alone in war, but in peace, as well. THE BANAT OF TEMEVAR CCORDING to one of her most distinguished statesmen, Roumania is “trembling to join in the most holy and just war a people ever waged,” but there’s an impediment in her con- science in the shape of the Banat of Temevar, the latter a small bite out of Southern Hungary. Roumania will fight most holily for the allies, if they'll. give her Transylvania, Bessarabia, the Banat of Temevar and an agreement that Russia shall not have Constantinople. But Russia will not give up Bessarabia, and Servia wants the Banat of Temevar. Germany offers Roumania possession of Transylvania and the Banat of Temevar. Seems as if everybody wants the Banat of Temevar, save Germany, and as it doesn’t. belong A Married Man’s Troubles YRIENDS, AND FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, IT WAS WAN BACK IN IT76 WHER OUR POREFATHERS SIGNED THE DECLARATION OF MDEPENDENCE — ‘THEY MADE UP THEIR MINDS THAT “THEY MOULD BE BOSSED BY No one — | PANSY, [WANT You To HEAR. “Thee be | FOURTH OF JULY oPetCH iM GoNG | TO DELIVER.

JUST THINKING IT a | F A majority of the warlike peoples of the world could be persuaded to join the League of Peace, it is not likely that those who re- mained outside would make much trouble,” says an Eastern peace editor, whose wisdom indicates that he’s a direct descendant of Solomon the Wise. Of course, he’s right, but just glance at the size of that “If.” It reminds us that if the Rocky mountains moved 1,000 miles eastward, there would be some change in the topography of the United States. Or, if the waters of the Great Lakes flowed the other way, the harbors of Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo would need some dredging. Or, if human nature was wholly made up of high morals, there would be a scarcity of pickpockets, big and little. It must have cracked the editorial brain-pan to think out the proposition that if all the nations were sincerely against war, there would be some peace. Facts don’t figure in cooking up such a proposition. All you have to do is to sit and think and think and think. But, mere thinking peace is the limit of some folks.

F bya NICHOLAS BROWN, 14 years old, possessing $22, 000,000 and known has arrived iq Southern California, in his private car, accompanied by ser. vants enough to make a small army and doctors and nurses enough to kill a big one Johnny is in very bad health and has always been moe or less of an invalid, and we're dead sorry for him He is one of the Browns of the famous Browns of Rhode Island, and the first thing he learned in this life was that he was one of the Browns of the famous Browns of Khode Island, Here is what they gave him: A cradle of mother-of-pearl; a cow that drank only distilled water, fed in a $100,000 clover field under the care of her own physician, and was milked by a special maid; a palatial yacht; a special cook; squabs and chickens bred especially for him; a pond in his house in which he could wade or sail boats; special valets; and always special physicians. Of course, what ails Johnny is as plain as the nose on your face—they haven't let him be a boy He's had too much care, too little dirt and real human experience. They’ve treated him so like an angel that he’s likely to fly away and be one. They worked along artistic and ethereal lines while the real boy of him has reverted to the famous Browns of Rhode Island who had to roll up their pants and dig clams for a liy- ing. They've thought that millions buy sturdiness, manhood and health, while they really buy ease, luxuries, doctors and pills, and they’ve got poor Johnny crammed full of the latter things, figuratively speaking Mother-of-pearl cradles, special cows, special servants, special doctors produce one sort of boy. Johnny is a legitimate product. You can pet to death the orneriest cactus that grows in Arizona. From cradle to date, they've been distilling and specializing the boy out of Johnny. as “the richest boy,” By Allman.
