The rail- way is thus not getting a square deal. With friendly administrators, a better showing can be made. If, instead of knockers, we have boosters in the city council to help the railway along, the fares can be lower, and that without resorting to the tax funds of the city for a single penny. The Star has been anxious to see those who have been shouting “thieves” and “fraud” start a suit to prove their assertions. They have not started it. The Star has urged those who believed there was misrep- resentation in the purchase of the street car system to go to a court of equity and attack the contract. This |has not been done. There has been nothing but talk, | talk, talk, talk!

This suit could accomplish nothing, even if it had been upheld instead of being thrown out of court. It would not have proved fraud. It, would not have proved misrepresentation. It would not have re- turned any part of the purchase money to the city. that it could not meet its legal debts, and it would thus have put Seattle on the map as a city that defaults in its payments, that repudiates its valid obligations. Notwithstanding this attempt to disrupt the city’s, credit, the statement has been printed several times that the council has blocked a suit by the 14 taxpayers which seeks relief from an “impossible contract.” Of course, such a statement is an absolute lie. It was given the lie by Stephen J. Chadwick, him- self chief counsel for the 14, when he said in open court: “Bear in mind that we are not claiming the contract is impossible of performance.” Chadwick was more candid than the publicity or- gan he represented.

It is when we lose sight of this and try to make our- selves over by some pattern that does not fit, that we make people tired. “ Individuality is the charm that attracts and holds ad- miration, Judge Landis says he pulled Senator Dial out of oblivion.
