What | “POETS ARE BORN, NOT MADE” BY DR. WILLIAM E. BARTON Seattle’s Black Eye | Let’s Tell the World at Large This City | Is Far From Crippled IN THE COLUMN ON THIS PAGE wherein The Star daily republishes important editorial views of | important newspapers, you will find today a quota- -|{tion from our neighbor, The Tacoma News-Tribune. | The Star suggests that you read it and consider it. | Since the middle of December this city has suffered | from one of the strangest epidemics of jumping pes- -||\simism that ever plagued an American community. | Calamity howlers have put on a dervish show, crying, “Woe! Woe!” when there was no woe. Lugubrious | literature has filled certain of our public prints, and a | blue fog emanated from the city hall until many be- came convinced that everything in town was going to ‘the demnition bowwows. WHY? Darned if we know! : For eleven weeks by the calendar we've been trying ‘to figure what it was all about. So far we have been able to discover merely that it seems to be all about | nothing. * * *® * oR ® a 8 & "THERE IS A POLITICAL ANGLE toit. There seems to be a determined effort to prove, in some manner, that municipal ownership (of our street car \lines) is a failure. That explains the viciously un- | truthful attacks being made on the street car system— | which, you will note by The News-Tribune’s editorial —has reached the New York Times, the leading New York organ of high finance, in the form of an inter- view with Seattle’s'mayor. There also has been a puzzling and persistent at- |tempt to hook up the prosperity of Seattle with the ambitions of certain political gentlemen, now out of work, who want good jobs. Even the Chamber of | Commerce has been induced to lend this attempt a icertain degree of seriousness. It is dangerous stuff. Our advice to the Chamber of Commerce—to all chambers of commerce—is to keep out of politics. * 8 *® * 8 & * * &® ‘THE SEATTLE .POST-INTELLIGENCER, with which we frequently disagree, hit it right in these words: “Some portion of the public mind rune to the effect that Seattle must have political favors, artificial stimulation, in trade matters, or it will dwindle as a commercial center, It bs fortunate for us that the idea does not appear to generally hold the stage If Seattle, with all its endowment of natural resources and powition, | cannet work out its maximum development without the ald and consent of politicians, if the city’s prosperity is to depend upon traffic in patronage and be predicated on personal gain, it will deserve to lose out, * * * “Seattle’s great future does not depend upon clique or personal aggtandizement or stunts ‘in the pastime of polities; and the day is at hand when complete demonstration of this fact will be spread before un.” And that’s the truth. The politicians who seek to convince the ¢ity that unless they get good government jobs civic enter- prise will die, are doing aah harm, and prob- ably doing themselves little g For that sort of ar- gument brings its own refutation. * * # * 8 & = 8 * 'S UP TO SEATTLE to tell the country that the black eye which now decorates our community countenance is merely the incidental gift of an ob- streperous local clique. Seattle’s eye may be black- ened, but its bones are unbroken, its heart action is ; good, the wounds of 1919 are healed, there’s no totter | as welcoming and its handclasps just as hearty as they used to be. In a little while its black eye will have been forgot- ten, and then everybody’s going to laugh. Drudgery, a Fine Art } OMEN HATE DRUDGERY. Deep down in their souls they rebel against it as only women can. What is drudgery? The unloved task, that is all. Many a woman bound by circumstances to the daily round of sweeping and dishwashing frets and chafes within Hee until she loses sight of the really great things \of life. She doesn’t realize it, but all the while she is working |with her feelings instead of her hands. Most of her unhappiness is the result of taking the wrong attitude toward the things that must be done; of putting the emphasis on the wrong place. There is no task that may not be uplifted by the mental attitude in which we approach it; no useful part of the world’s work that will not yield to a persistent spirit of optimism and the concentration of our best thought and effort to rob it of its power to enslave us. Even drudgery may ‘become a fine art if we bring to it something from the world we love; something of the same spirit with which we approach the things that give us pleasure; something of the realization of the great truth that no needful task is without its compensation.

The epectacular lecturing tour of its former mayor, Ole Haneon, | and the magazine articles which he published afterward clinched this conviction tn certain circles in the Bart. After hearing Ole Hanson tell how he put down the desperate uprising in the “Don't know where” days of Seattle, the Bastern business man took a firmer hold of his investment | |doliars than he had before and did mot permit them to amble Puget Soundward Just an the evil effects of thie advertising were beginning to wear away, Seattle unfortunately started another campaign, this time to repu- | diate the street car contract. Without entering into a discussion of whether Seattle was gold-bricked or not by purchasing the car lines, a contract lv a contract, and the attempt of certain newspavers and) interests to repudiate this agreement and their despairing wail that) “Seattle's back in against the wall” have been discusned from coast to coast. As a consequence Seattle's troubles are providing the whole coun-| try with something to talk about. Various articles in Wastern publica. tions convey the impreasion that the Puget Sound seaport ts in a very bad way indeed. “Seattle's Sad Plight" ty the headline the New York Times gives ite articis, which consists principally of an interview with the mayor of Seattle relative fo the tangled mens of street car negotia tions, From the Interview the writer draws the conclusion that “Seattle! stands at the door of bankruptcy unless she ts able to cancel or rewrite her car line contract.” A short time ago there appeared in the Chicago Tribune, and later tn the Literary Digest, a “business barometer” in the form of a map of the| United Stateay showing the whole gtate of Washington shaded tn black to indicate “bustness bad." This wax based on reports from Seattle and drew a protest from Spokane and Tacoma. As @ matter of fact the situation In Seattle bas been grossly exagger. ated. That city ts a long way from the rocks. The present advertixing campaign emphasising this fact is for that reason all the more welcome It may help to undo the harm which the other campaigns did.
