THE SEATTL ——_____ = = I30T Seventh Ave, Near ———————— MEMBER oF scHIrrs NorTuWwesT Lea Batered ax Second-Ch Matter May 8, 1999 at the Seattle, Wank. under the Act of Congress Mare © month; 3 months, $1.50 of Washington, Outsl Opportunity! All men are born with equal right to opportunity, which is not saying that all men are born equal, as doctors, philoso _— and ethnologists will corroborate. But the world has seeing, like the artist who made the accompany!g pic- ture, but one side. There are two sides to the matter of op a y, just as there are two to that sow, You've got to ive an endwise picture of sow or opportunity to get Prehensive view of the possibilities, and the world has paid attention, almost exclusively, to the side which, by birth, _ privilege or acquired strength has hogged opportunity, Its estimate of greatness, justice and equality has been based upon the doings and standings of the pigs which have ‘crowded, forced and usurped their way to a place in which they've fattened off the mother-sow, opportunity. a The porcine mother has a fine, eager, well-nourished ‘(shall we say patriotic?) progeny. But she has another side. p such an one has two sides. So has the question of equal opportunity. A view of the other side may show that the mother has “dried up” on that side and disclose a large of lean, hopeless progeny vainly struggling for places mean sustenance and growth. But times have arrived when no one-sided view contents world. We are going around to the other side to secure all equal opportunity to live and to grow. We are even some shoats that are fat and slick thru heritage and by the tail and pulling them away that there may places for those crowded out at the fountain of Reenrenity. We are demanding the perspective as well as flat surface of the picture. ‘ Seven fat little piggies happily sucking away for dear | life, enjoying, growing stronger and more powerful day by : ! Itis fine. But what of the seventy millions that don't i such opportunity? Glory be! it’s the other side of the in which men and women who love God and the race now most concerned. The individuals and the nations 4 have equal opportunity. It can no longer be the whole hog for the few, no hog for the multitude. Something more than the divine right of a Hohenzollern has fallen. Amongst ‘other things, the inhuman obsession that vast numbers of ‘men shall be born with no chances at all for any equality “Save that of the lowest degree. Judging from Mr. Hoover's program for feeding _ Europe, America’s share in the victory is going to be the plowshare—Manila Bulletin. It is charged by Seattle labor that a military censor- ' Ship has been placed on its meetings. In support of this, it has pointed to the fact that a number of military police ‘were stationed at the Hippodrome meeting yesterday to prevent soldiers from entering the hall, where it was pro- osed to organize a soldiers’ and workmen's council. 7. Censorship of any kind, except during war emergen- ‘ies, is abominable to American ideals. Of course, a sol- dier is under military discipline while he is still in the It is difficult to see, however, why he should be denied @ privilege of attending a mass meeting any more than would be denied the privilege of attending his own union Meeting, if he belonged to a union, or a Chamber of Com- “Merce meeting, if he belonged to the chamber. Evidently, there are still some people who do not ‘know the war is over. The ex-kaiser says he still has friends in America, Their address is probably Fort Leavenworth.—Detroit Free Press. : What’s Behind This? Superintendent L. B. Youngs, of the water department, has been appointed by Mayor Hanson to take charge of the city lighting department during the illness of Supt. J. D. A most unusual appointment. Surely, there are assistants in the city lighting department to whom this duty should logically have fallen. If the superintendent of public utili- ties leaves town for a day or two, does the mayor appoint the superintendent of the street department to take care of the former office? Not so you could notice it. What is the explanation, then, of the appointment of Mr. Youngs? A New York Bolshevik urged a reign of terror in which all debts should be cancelled, and, tho we stand forth as a champeen of law and order, darned if there ain't something about the first of the month that makes us look on the Bolshevik program with a lenient eye.— Dallas Times-Herald. : We've often heard that Germany's ideas of militar- ism were bred in the bone. As we get better acquaint- ed with the heads of her armies it certainly looks plaus- éble.—Manila Bulletin. Prof. Irv Fisher urges that the purchase power of the dollar be stabilized. And energized, Irv!—Wash- ington Post. Buy your thermometers now—indications are that they will be much higher next summer.—Florida Times- Umon. After the Sinn-Feiners organize their Irish repub- lice, what do they expect to do with it?—New York World. Just now the world seems to be made up of two kinds of people—heroes and zeroes.—Craig Leader. Germany's “white book” will contain a black record if the facts are put qn it.—Albany Journal. What Herb Hoover said to von den Lancken goes for that whole bunch.—Omaha Bee. These are dark days for Germany because she put out the light of truth.—Long Island City Star. Blood is thicker than propaganda.—Greenville Piedmont, Coming Home With the Yanks! | “That reminds me, Elmer, the first thing we must get, now «ince, we're back, is some insurance.” {LETTERS TO INTEREST ROBBERY Editor The Star: I would like very snuch to hear from you on a Liberty loan proposition of the fourth issue On October 15 I paid THE SEATTLE STAR—MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1919.
