The Star comes to your town and you read the news of the world, of the state and of Seattle. And because it is a Seattle paper, it takes a vast in Seattle and wants to see it the finest city in the world. And that is where can help. " Most of you come to Seattle, some every day, some once a year. You shop here, you to the theatres, you visit old friends and you transact business, Seattle wants to tt you right, wants to make you welcome. But it cannot always see the mote in own eye. | Seattle invites your criticism. From its friends—and you are all friends—every c is a boost, especially if it points out something that can be remedied. ' Are our policemen courteous to strangers? Can you read the street signs?

Are more comfort stations needed? « you ever run into “speed traps” when you drive thru town? “Seattle is earnestly trying to make you welcome when you visit us.

WILLIAM E. BARTON Ratph Waldo Emervon said that America had. produced twe great poeta, Daniel Webster and Father Taylor. As to Webster, we know what he meant Woebster wrote no verse, but he had great imagination, such as @ poet must have But who was Father Taylor? No one needed to ask that question In the @xys when Emerson was preaching in the north end of Boston. Emerson attracted the ntelleetual few, but the throng, including hosts from the aristocratic part of the city, went by his door to listen to the man who talked to sailors in the old Bethel tn North Square, . Two drunken sailors were looking for the place one night, and they tried to read the kerosenelighted sign, BETHEL. One of them spelled tt out painfully— “Ret, beat, hel, hef—" and then he cried, “That's the place?” When Jennie Lind visited America she had no doubt where to attend church tn Boston. There were men of great learning, of which Father ‘Taylor had very little, but pone of greater heart or greater native gift of eloquence When Father Taylor hy @ytng, @ friend said te him, “Father Taylor, you soon will be among the angels.” “I don't want to be among tho agnels,” replied the old man “I want to stay here, among folks! There are folks enough tm the world, and varieties enough, and we nometimes have occasion to weary of them. But one of the best things in life for all of us is the privilege which we have of living here on earth, just among folks, When Father Taylor grew old, he formed the habit of tatking te htm self as he walked along. “Why do you talk to yourself?” be was asked. “Because I enjoy talking to a sensible man! But even the privilege of talking to a sensible man, which, by the way, does not always come to the man who talks to himeelf, is not to be com pared to the value of living among and talking to folks REMARKABLE REMARKS The difference between a bucket shop ‘and an exchange ts about the se difference that did exist between a common beer jotnt with a plate glass mirror and a ma- hogany- bar saloon. — Congressman Hudspeth, of Texas, eee Every 60,000 Jews phhoed om the sof of Palestine paves the way for another 100,000—Dr. Chaim Wels ——$_$ Reporter.
