On a recent date, the conference report on the $6,000,- 0,000 war revenue bill came before that body. It is a) y voluminous report. A copy of it was in the hands of) senator and he was bound to study it. Senators Lodge, Penrose and France demanded that hole thing be read. Very good formality, said the And when the clerk began to read, the senators ted out and the clerk read the whole document to prac- ical ly empty seats. Hours wasted over nothing. Mean- ile, reconstruction isn’t reconstructing and the jobless working. en i The world will never be perfect until an amendment to the constitution guarantees the inalienable right of the busy man to crack a chnir over the head of a profes- sional loafer who consumes his time.

Peace found the Hun in need of many things, but his most urgent need is a post-graduate course in the lesson Pershing was teaching him when time was called on November 11.

Well, it wasn't Uncle Sam, it was Johnny Bull that made himself thus solid with the girls attached to the British peace mission $100 to they're buying them! I believe that the American republic as insti tuted by the fathers constitutes the finest system of government ever ordained among men and affords the machinery for the righting of grievances without resort to violence, tumult and disorder, I believe that every inequality which exists in the social and eéonomic condition of the American people is traceable to the successful demands of inter- ested classes for class legislation, and I believe, therefore, that practical equality can be obtained under our form of government by remedial legisla- tion in the interest of the American people and not in the interest of any body thereof, large or small. 1 believe there is no justification in a govern- ment, where officials are elected and laws made by the people, for a minority to threaten bloodshed and anarchy anless the majority shall submit to the will of the minority. I believe that America belongs to American citi- zens, native and naturalized, who are willing to seek redress for their grievances in orderly and constitu- tional ways, and | believe that all others should be taught, peacefully if we can and forcibly if we must, that our country is not an international boarding house nor an anarchist cafe.

The Star has no patience with any legislator who is willing to take a chance with human lives and health in order to give a few autoists a shorter road thru the Cedar river watershed. It refuses to bother with the “politicians” who are will- ing to vote for anything, however yellow and dastardly it may be, tf it has the sanction of the legislative “bosses.” It is to the others, who have some degree of open-mind- edness, that this paper addresses itself. It is they who must be impressed at the hearing tonight that there is genuine danger of typhoid epidemics in this city of 400,000 if the watershed is left without the safeguards that have heretofore protected the purity of the water. The thing in a nutshell is this: Shall Seattle’s water sup- Shall the state risk the health of hun- dreds and thousands? Or shall autoists be asked to travel an extra four or five miles over another road? There is but one answer—one honest answer. The legislators may answer it honestly. If they don’t, the fight will have only begun. If it will take an extra session and the recall of an act- ing governor, this may be safely said: THERE WILL BE NO ROAD THRU THE CEDAR RIVER WATERSHED.

The bowels find artificial aid necessary. | The stronger the physic, as old people soon learn; the greater the contraction of the bowels thereafter, and so the wise purposely avoid salt waters, pills and other harsh pur- gatives. Many have learned to place absolute reliance on the gentle but positive action of a combination of simple lewative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name \ of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It produces an agreeable movement as nearly netural and i] free as high pharmaceutical skill can make it. Thousands use it regularly, in the small dose prescribed, and keep them- selves in fine health and good cheer, and entirely free from constipation.
