F YOU want to do something for Seattle, sit down tonight, and write a letter to your congressman, or Senator, about the round-trip railroad rate preferential which keeps 97!4 per cent of the Pacific coast tourists away from the Northwest. Tell them that Seattle and the Northwest is unitedly determined that this favoritism must cease, and that this city must get its share of the tourist trade. Tell them you expect them to do their part toward making this pfossible. Tell them it is up to THEM to show the interstate commerce commission, the national rate-making body, that sentiment in the Northwest against this preferential is OVERWHELMING, Criticism Which Is Truly Destructive | 66()PHELIA was not a young woman of good sense. If she had been, she might have saved Hamlet from madness, and her father from being murdered,” says Beatrice Forbes-Robertson, who has the part many times. : “Hamlet was fat,” says John Cowper Powys, the English literary critic who is now lecturing in this country. So we add another to our disillusionments. Long ago we had to give up seeing Shakespeare in the theatre. library interest in him. f We cannot—can any one?—visualize a fat Hamlet nor a safe and sane Ophelia. Now we are being robbed of our Teaching Humanity Part of Mother Craft PK EEPING the spirit of humanity alive in a world red with slaughter is part of the business of mother- ' craft. ‘ A cat or a dog makes a handy subject for kindly attention in many homes while for the youngsters who live in flats are the sparrows and other birds. ; The veneer of civilization seems almost transparent in the light of Europe’s gun-fire. Therefore it important that mothers should undertake the teaching of humanity as a definite object and not ve it to chance, nf treat it as a by-product of home training. owing the Old Fit | D RYAN is again urging the ratification of the agreement he made when secretary of state, to pay Co- lombia the sum of $25,000,000 for “damages” sustained by the construction of the Panama canal. It is recorded in the history of the Central American republics that at the time Panama granted the - ggaman that country had declared its independenge of Colombia and maintained it quite suc- ly. The principal nations of Europe, as well as of America, had recognized the independence of Pan- and Colombia had apparently accepted the inevitable, for she was making no armed effort to win her lost territory. Not Stokes? HERE are rumors afloat that certain persons, who happen to be relatives of county commissioners, and other officials, are going to have the inside track when the commissioners consider the matter of ‘granting a concession for the cigar stand in the new courthouse building. _ The Star believes such matters as this ought to be handled on a purely business basis. However, if sentiment is going to enter into the selection of a man to whom will go this concession, commissioners might well give thought to the claim of J. W. Stokes, a city fireman with a wife and cé children to support, who was permanently crippled in the Grand Trunk dock fire in July, 1915, trying to save the lives of two comrades.

There had been fighting, no one knew where, and a long, unlight- od train was creaking ite way out toward us, heavy with the dying and some dead. There were not enough stretcher-bearers. NEEDED MAN BADLY The officer in charge of the Red Cross station was madly searching for anything In unt- form to do a growsome night's work of unloading the train and conducting the little Ford athbu- lances to medica! civilization. 't wae my chance, but a the authorities not to let alone par ticipate in, the depressing handling of bloody and shrieking wounded, I stepped up to the officer who was pleading with a sergeant to find stretcher-bearers, “Votla mot,” I said. TELLS OF THE LOADING Somebody found me a cap and somebody elee an old uniform, and I quickly took my place on an ambulance. A long ride thru the dark and we arrived as the Rules were Ifleations of a shoestring, six feet, several inches long and nothing to speak of in width But that’s not the only record he holds. In the days before 1911, all elections were partisan, and Billy Moore held the distinction of betng the only democrat who had been elected to three important of- fices, Elected Judge at 34 In 1896, when he was but 34, Moore was elected judge of the su- pertor court, the only democrat on the King county bench at that time. In 1902, he was elected state sen- ator, the only democrat to be chosen for that office from King county that year. Both as judge and as senator, he represented what have since become known as progressive pol- icles, In the senate, he got thru the eight-hour law for public employes, the antigambling law, and was floor leader for the railroad com- mission bill. And then came another record for Billy Moore. He was elected mayor of Seattle by a majority of 15 votes, accord- ing to official returns, over John Riplinger, his republican opponent, who shortly afterward went to Honduras to raise bananas. Municipal Ownership Platform “Honest” John, the republicans called him, but Moore probably really beat him by 1,600 votes rather than 16, It was one of t! tests in the city, ran on a straight outandout Mu- nictpal Ownership Party platform. As mayor, he closed up the sa- loons at 1 o'clock each morning. They previously had been runsing all night. He put the slot machines out of business He did several and sundry other things that made a lot of folks| mighty glad and others mighty peeved at him. The nonpartisan amendment to | the city charter, which abolishes | party lines in city elections, was| drafted by George Cotterill and Billy Moore. The former mayor, judge, and} estate senator was born in Mis-| sourt, raised tn Kentucky, educat-| ed in Michigan, and came to Seat tle in 1888 When You're Well KEEP WELL Another Article In The Star's Health Campaign Boing Conducted With Co- | operation of American Medical Association > _ CRACKED DISHES 4 Eating from cracked plates and dishes, a daily habit tn quick lunch rooms and noon| hour restaurants is a dangerous menace to health.

I found myself envying the little Frenchman who carried with me, and speculating on how Mght must be his end, the foot end, for the wounded had no feet and only one leg. It must have been light. A sergeant called us sharply to the other side of the hail for the last instaliment—THE MEN WITH NO FACES, Eyes, noses and jaws carried away by fragments of shell, they made a weird array as they lay In a row, each with a queer shaped white mask where his features ought to have been. We removed them to the ambul- ances, and I watched a man with no legs on his stretcher by the roadside, who was trying to work & mechanical cigar-lighter and com- plaining that it would not “march.” We drove the rest of the night, and when the last load was taken out of the little pigeon-holes of the ambulance I fell asleep on a stretcher-bearer’s cot and dreamed of & poor devil with @ wound thru the chest that my partner had let drop.
