It has advanced tentative plans for a basis | upon which such a consolidation would be agreeable, These plans contemplate the collection of a fund ™ for fostering and promoting industries in Seattle. > The Seattle Commercial club has always stood for high principles. The club has been a strong "ally of those who have battled for the right. And The Star believes that now the Seattle Commercial club has an opportunity to do one of the biggest things in its history by consenting to such a consolida- tion as proposed, PROVIDING THE CONSOLIDATION CAN BE ARRANGED ON A PROPER BASIS, What a wonderful step, right at the outset of what all believe is going to be one of the best years | Seattle has ever had, if all the organizations which are now working, individually, for the betterment of ) our city, could join hands in an honest spirit of civic patriotism! 4 To make this possible, the chamber of commerce must give up its old fogy, standpat ideas, and Pmust agree to a more democratic plan of organization than that under which its own affairs have Ebeen conducted. The majority must rule. The little fellow must have his say as well as the big fel- How. Matters of civic interest must be threshed out in the open, where everyone can be heard. These : are fundamental. Without them no effort at getting together can succeed. The Commercial club, if its members can satisfy themselves that the proposed merger is to really process of organization, and not a process of absorption, should yield sufficiently in its attitude of ndence to make negotiations possible. And the name of this great, virile, patriotic body that is going to boost for Seattle as nobody ever boosted before, should not be “The Seattle Chamber of Commerce.” Neither should its name be “The battle Commercial Club.” To the membership of the latter club, the first name would hardly be ac- ceptable. And vice versa. Why not, if this consolidation can be put thru ON THE RIGHT BASIS, forget the past? Why pt put out of our heads all petty jealousies and quarrels?) Why not all get together—merchants, and bankers, and manufacturers, and doctors, and carpenters, and lawyers, and financiers, and working- 1 nd put a shoulder to the wheel. Why not LABOR for the advancement of our city under a name that will carry no thought of past of ecstacy and biles, hours of joy, "Such a name, for instance, as THE SEATTLE CIVIC CLUB! : — ldays of pleasure, asd perhaps HOW DOES IT SOUND?

The money was in silver coin and dollar bills. One of these angels of mercy found after she left the house that she had dropped one of her gloves. She returned to get it and upon opening the door she beheld the corpse sitting up counting the money. Can you beat it?—Houston paper. Nothing particularly remarkable about this.

I knew that when Mollie sald she was the happiest girl in the world, that by that same token I was most miserable. We were as far apart as the poles, and yet we were sep- arated only by a few years of wed- ded life. ‘And you, dear Margie, have helped me to attain this happi- ness, she whispered. “You have shown me that marriage is a royal progress in the garden of love and faith.” “My God!" I thought. “Is that how my lot has looked to the out- the evening.
