A TIME LIMIT As the parson launched into his fourthly without closing the Bible on the pulpit before him, thus indjcat- ing that the end of his sermon was not in sight, a stranger, who had slipped into a back pew shortly be- fore, began to shown signs of rest- Jessness, When the fifthly was an- nounced he leaned forward and whis- pered earnestly to a gray-haired lady in the pew ahead of him: “Pardon me, madam; but how long has he been preaching?” “I can't exactly say,” she replied; “thirty or forty years, I think.” ‘The stranger heaved a sigh. “All right, then; I'll stay; he must be near- ly done.”—Country Gentleman.

No one disputes that the country faces more difficult problems than at any time since the reconstruction period following the civil war. It is easy to deal in superlatives in connection with political affairs and changes. Campaign orators talk glibly about crimes, critical periods, etc.; mostly this is bunk. But the situation in which the country finds itself as Mr. Wilson lets go and Mr. Harding takes hold of the helm is so serious in almost every aspect that no good and much harm will come from failure to recognize it. This is no time for the counsel either of pessimism or optimism. What is needed Robert Louis Stevenson said that “intelligence and courage are the two qualities best worth a good man’s cultivation.” Thru the counsel of intelligence we should learn the causes of the present chaotic condi- tions. The counsel of courage should bring us deter- mination to remove them. Undoubtedly one of the causes of the present upset is the fact that for the past two years the most popular indoor and outdoor sport of many, if not most of us, has been president-baiting. most urgent necessi- ties of the nation have been neglected for the ghastly amusement of trying to discredit and weaken the power of the man we had elected to be the head of the government. The results have been tragic. It could not have been otherwise. The only wonder is that they have not been worse. Let there be an end of president-baiting. It cer- tainly hasn’t paid dividends during the past two years, and it won’t pay dividends during the next two. What- ever our political beliefs, let us recognize the fact that as Americans we are all in the same boat, and that it is our patriotic duty to give loyal support to the man we have elected to stand on the bridge. If there be siete omens uo wine ave teapted to copay bn bind the brutalities and insults which have been ped upon President Wilson during the past two years, let us the temptation behind us. That is water which ek eter the Gn. Let us assume that the new out of chaes and to replace depression with prosper- ity, hysteria with sanity. Let us sincerely hope that the time will not come, stand, and when it will be as clearly a duty to protest as-it now is to help. That man or woman who for the sake of advantage to the party which has just passed from power would withhold the slightest help from the new administration, unless and until it shows it- self unworthy, is a fool, and worse; he is untrue to himself and to his country. Let’s Build the Bridge HERE ARE MANY REASONS why it will be a good thing for Seattle voters to put an X apposite the Mont- lake bridge bond proposition at the polls Tuesday. The proposed bridge would span the canal at Montlake ave. at a point just south of the University campus. It is needed to take the excessive pressure off the East- lake bridge, which, even at normal times, has almost an overload of traffic, because it connects downtown Seattle with one of the most important outlying districts in the city. The new stadium—Seattle’s pride—lies just beyond the location of the proposed bridge. If you attended the Dart- mouth game last year you know how badly the bridge was needed. The Eastlake bridge was jammed and blocked, and thousands were delayed and inconvenienced. The Sand Point aviation field would also be served by the new bridge. We need that bridge. Milady Beautiful “YX TANITY of vanities; all is vanit Thus lamented the sage long centuries ago. What would he say today if told that the American woman spends $500,000,000 a year for knickknacks? Of this huge sum, which is enough to pay the cost of the entire navy program including the building of ships, $50,000,000 goes for powder for milady’s nose. The re- mainder is divided between cosmetics, perfumes, scented soaps, jewels and ostrich feathers. Milady, however, seldom stops to count the cost when it comes to the things which make her beautiful. Having once decided that a thing is desirable for that end, she sets about to get it and usually succeeds, Consequently the sensation caused by the announcement of her extravagance will be without effect. So long as women are women they will cater to their tastes and idiosyncracies and to my lady of the boudoir powder for her nose is just as indispensable to her comfort as the very food she eats. Let’s build it. THE FIRE ENGINE Moreover, | had a Pretty Tolerably Good Time my- self. For I am not too old to remember when I chased the Fire Engine So the little Lad and I we came again, and I left him with Keturah, and with his mother the daughter of Keturah. And they said, Have you two Small Boys seen the Fire Engine? And we answered and anid, We have seen it. And my grandson told about the High Seat and the Bell and the Brass Pole and the Chief Now it came to pass that night when I said my Prayers, that I spake unto Keturah, saying, Some | good things have I done this day, and some it may be not mo good, But one mighty good deed have 1| done: I let my work Go Hang for an hour while I went with the lad to ser the Fire Engine it is the Sorrow shall surety eee man to see me, ‘For he who doeth a kind deed unto a little child, Goeth it for all the long years that lie ahead of that young life, Wherefore do I say unto all men, Skimp | qnot thy deeds of kindness to any sort of man or and set him on | woman, but the good deed that lasteth longest in that seat behind the which thou alt do unto a little child And moreover, It is an Whole Lot of Fun president has the same desire we have to bring order soon or late, when that assumption will no longer | THE SEATTLE STAR AS OTHERS SEE THE WORLD Mditorials and Comments Reprinted From Various Newspapers st KME, INDEED!
