PAT _ Hays, national republican chairman, has played the et y coward, like a good many others of the party Jeanie, declining the democratic chairman's challenge to make 4 league of ions a party issue. ys holds that, as : partisanship in the war would have been detestable, there should be no partisanship in the making of peace. ‘ Partisanism in declaring or prosecuting war would be ‘detestable and calamitous, and it is to be avoided, if pos-| ‘sible, in the making of peace. But— : The league matter is something more than the mak- ing of peace. It is the making of unprecedented funda- ital law for America, and we get a long way from genu- democracy when such law is made without the ex- consent of the people who are expected to obey And the power to consent or dissent seems to have as far removed as possible from the people by our titution makers. } _ Our president gets up a peace treaty and acknowledges ‘ we shall not have peace unless fundamental laws, ving our industrial, financial, and all our foreign poli- are interwoven therein. He presents this treaty, with | fundamental laws, to a senate which i practically ir- sible and irremovable. The people are bsolutely | ced to take what they’ve given, not what they ask.

Since when has it become treason or folly to make} mental laws or policies partisan issues? What great) tion have we on our federal statutes that was not! a party issue?

Seattle’s Fourth : Tomorrow ought to be the happiest Fourth of July the history of America. The world is at peace, many | the boys who went away to war are home again. And! weather man is co-operating splendidly. Plans are complete for a memorable day. Altho Seat- has not arranged for a hip-hip-hurrah, bespangled cele- | tion, a more sensible plan has been worked out. ae Every family can go to the nearest city park, picnic, speeches and music, enjoy an athletic program, and nd a day on the broad green stretches. There will be two Coast league ball games between Se- and San Francisco—one in the morning and one in| afternoon. § At night there will be a big public dance on Stewart from Fifth ave. and Westlake to First ave. : Better get the lunch ready and plan for a sensible The disposition of some statesmen to lighten the Hun’s punishment now, before the sores are healed, is a clear indication that little of the indemnity will be collected after the sores are forgotten. And Why Not? Advertising for friends! Why not? Why shouldn’t a person who comes to a strange town insert some such announcement in the daily papers as this? “My name is Sam Wallace, from Akron, 0. I am 28 years old, single, college graduate, member of _—— church and interested in athletics. I want to meet ‘some congenial folks.” No doubt there would be other people in the new town | from Akron who would be glad to meet Sam because of (their mutual acquaintances. There are also many good men and women in each town who would be glad to welcome strangers if they knew who and what they are. Of course, the advertisement could only attract ac- quaintances. If that meeting is congenial the relationship would soon grow into one of friendship. - Yes, we know there are drawbacks to such a scheme, but where is there a good idea without its occasional “back fire”? Frank A. Vanderlip has quit banking to “do useful work.” The action is commendable enough, but why knock the bankers who stay on the job? There are counter revolutions in western Hungary, the old revolution having been on the job long enough to outgrow the looting stage. Sweden and Denmark have joined Switzerland and Norway in refusal to help fasten another blockade on Germany, having in mind the obligations of a neutral and the profits of smuggling. Social unrest the world over may be attributed largely to the fact that there is no longer anything do- ing to get excited about. Crossing the river to make Americans safe on this side of the Rio Grande served to make Americans very unsafe on the other side, SenatorKnoz is afraid the league will be a super- "WHEN IN THE NECESSARY — ” (HAVE A GLASS OF DRINKING WATER REA WHEN I GET THROUGH) NEED ANY HELP?

Immediately a group of union “guards” standing outside began to murmur and one of them called out, “There goes one.” I wondered if they really knew what they were talking about. I am personally acquainted with sev eral of the supervisors and instructors in the tele phone offices. And I can't see why they should be classed as scabs as 1 suppose the girls insinuated, I know for a fact that these girls have asked time after time to be admitted to the union but they have heen refused for the reason that they were classed as officers of the telephone company Well, then, if the union n't grant them protection if they strike, the super¥isors and instructors must stick by the company. They can’t be classed as scabs when they are only performing their duty as the union expects them to. The girls who are now working do not like the position they are placed in, but they have no other resource and the strikers should not molest them. Hoping that the striking girle see the clear side of this and be sensible and at the same time hoping that they win the strike, I am, A strong union man, JACK DALTON. E N NEEDED MORE THAN MACHINES BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Religions Topics for, The Star. With each fresh advance in the field of progress there have always been those who declared that the race of men could not stand up to the speed or the strain of the new invention. Kipling’s old Scotch engineer put it this wa: “We're crepin’ on wi’ each new rig, lees weight and larger power; There'll be the loco-boiler next and thirty knots an ® | | a hour Thirty and more; what I hae seen since ocean steam began Leaves me nae doot for the machine, but what about the man?” However it may be regarding the ability of men to stand up to the test of the “machine,” it was clearly shown in the examinations of volunteers and drafted men in every country that recruited soldiers for the last big war, that millions upon millions were unfit for service because of physical and mental inability. It was bad enough to discover that so many were lacking on account of physical short-comings, but it was pathetic to find that the average mental equip: ment was so far below the standards of even ordi- nary requirements. Of, course, there was no way of standards. But the war proved that the greatest need of the world today is men. “God give us men”--is the ery not only of the poet but of the state and the church—of commerce and of industry. And the whole basis of the manhood Moral above everything else. For while science and education and physical cul ture can do great things for men, they cannot move the will—the will to do right or wrong. And man's whole future depends upon will power—net upon the power of steam or electricity or any other physical force, testing moral needed is } THE OLD GARDENER SAYS: 1 ct i It is well to remember that cutworms are as fond of dablias as they are of tomato plants. Moreover, the stems of the most valuable specimens are just as likely to be cut off as those of the more common sorts, The one safe way to obtain immunity is to place a paper collar around each plant as soon as it comes up, the paper extending three inches above ground and one inch below. Tarred paper is satis factory, and even brown paper will serve, One writer keeps a supply of tomato cans on hand, the tops and bottoms having been unsoldered, and sets them around his plants. If you have dahlias up and cut- worms are already at work, dig around the plants until you find the pests and kill them, Then set the collars in place and you will have no more trouble.

J “Miss Columbia, I've been ninking,” O* July 4 in 1776 the Declaration of Independence was passed by unanimous vote of the Second Continental Congress in session at Philadelphia. The declaration was drawn up by Thomas Jefferson, Who was only 33 years old. This remarkable manifesto, into which it has been said Jefferson “poured the soul of a continent,” was adopted as he had drawn | it, with the exception of a few unimportant changes. — In 1789, on July 4, congress passed the first pro tective tariff act, placing duties upon spirits, wines, tea, coffee and sugar. A few other imports were taxed at an average of 8% per cent. James Madizon was mainly responsible for this first tariff act. On July 4, 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne was born ‘ Salem, Mass. Hawthorne was recognized thruout r world as the greatest fiction writer that America | produced. He died at Plymouth, N, H., while on journey with President Pierce on May 18, 1864.
