Tho Doomed, He Revels in'AVF YOU HAD YOUR HEAD Seattle Woman As Teaching Character Analysis Out of Trouble VOLUME 1 Their Foolish Attentions WET BILLS WOULD OPEN DOOR WIDER FOR THE GRAFTERS We dare the liquor interests to use this editorial in their California prohibition fight! Violation of the dry law in Seattle—in some spots— is no argument for the licensed saloon. It is no argunient for the two initiated bills in this State—No. 18, the hotel bill, and No. 24, the brewery bill. But it is a reflection on the law enforcement officials | of this city. Efforts of Mayor Gill to blame brewery interests for the wholesale bootlegging which the head of the mayor's dry squad rays has sprang up in the past six weeks thru the corruption of some police officers, won't fool any one. The breweries are tickled. of course, to put the prohibition law “in bad.” if they can, and one quart of whisky today cre ates more comment than a carioad in the olden days. But the situation in @ nutshell is this: The extent of the booze business in Seattic is commensurate with the graft there fs in it. Who gets the graft? The men who sell whisky and the officials who allow them to do it. The Star is as firmly convinced that from a dellat-and- " and hotel bills should be defeated on as it Ie that Mayer Gil! should send to jail the grafting protectors of boot whe are in his police department. THE PROTECTED WHISKY RING IS ROTTEN THE BEER BILLS WOULD ONLY MAKE THE SITUA. ATION WORSE. All the bootlegging that can possibly be carried on in a month in Seattle does not equal the amount sold in a day or s0 by the 300 saloons that operated bere prior to the first of the ison In all, the prohibition law in this state hae now been in operation only nine months, Yet in this ehert period, the city and the state have undergone a most astounding change for eco nomic betterment. In Seattle no such general prosperity has been enjoyed since 1909, the year of the (air. Store rooms are at a premium. There is not a vacant store “ on Second ave., or Pike st., in the business center of town. Legitimate stores have taken the place of many saloons in this district. Grocers, butchers, clothiers, credit houses generally, report a healthier condition than ever before. Men who never saved a dollar in their lives are now,doing it Bank deposits have increased enormously—savings depos- its. at that. It would be a calamity if Initiative No. 18 and No. 24 should pass at the coming election. It would be a step backward. It would not only demoralize the prohibition law, but would also be accompanied by economic disaster to the families who, for the first time, are getting on their feet. The argument that the saloon will not be returned by either of these bills is mere sophistry. The saloon will be here in another form—that's all. : Mayor Gill has been preaching against both No. 18 and No. 24. That is fine. But the mayor must act as well as preach in the pulpits It’s up to him to take the crooked bull by the horns and throw him in jail. Send a few of these grafters to jail and the bootlegging industry is dead. NAB BOOZE ON LINER AND HUNT FOR CROOKED CITY DETECTIVE a piain-clothes man.” Prosecutor Lundin and Attorney Barkwill each said Tuesday they had not yet learned the name of the detective, but were tracing the transaction. Investigators for Lundin arrested KF. J.

Lundin would not admit the ar. rests had any connection with the transaction becween the plain- clothes man and the druggists Deputy Sheriff Stewart Campbell said Tuesday that he personally destroyed the liquor consigned by the Bernheim Liquor Co,, of Loulr ville, to R.

BY W. G. SHEPHERD (The Famous American War Correspondent) I have been on every front in Europe and in every ca) except Petrograd. On the fronts I have seen the horrors war. And in the capitals I have seen the efforts of the vari fighting nations to draw the United States into the war. In war, thinking»men become. unthinking beasts. Men business, science and achievement stop their work and become mere physical units in an army: “Youths drop their life dre: and their futures. Ambitions crumble. Home and family plans are swept aside. Progress, whose figure we carve i marble to decorate our proud buildings, becomes a withe: paralyzed wreck. The blight of hate reaches into the inners most corner of every city, of every home, of every heart. WORSE THINGS THAN DEATH FALL TO THE LOP™ OF MILLIONS OF HUMAN BEING WAR, including mental and moral decay. : Into the situation which would produce these terrible changes I have seen all the nations of Europe endeavor drag the United States.

There were times when it seemed that war would be the only way out.
