By mail, out of city, bee per month; 8. im the a Washington mostha of per year An Irreparable Blunder Word comes from Washington that Attorney General Daugherty is preparing for a masterly retreat at Chicago jonday. ‘ an beloved he will not ask the court to enjoin perma- nently the constitutional rights of individuals, particularly those relating to free speech, free press and assemblage. Thus would Daugherty admit his error. ing, threatening, cocksure attorney general of a week ago has calmed down under the cooling dose of ice water thrown on him in sluices from every corner of the coun- *% appily, it is not too late to remedy his mistake. Our governmental machinery, by the grace of God, and in this cular case, permits the whole thing to be gone over again, and any of Mr. Daugherty’s blunders to be cured. Suppose, however, Daugherty’s first action had been final? Suppose there were no way to remove from the injunction the clauses which Senator Borah frankly told the attorney general “are clearly violative of the consti- tution?” We may well ask, for the attorney general has one job where he can blunder irreparably. It is in the appoint- ment of federal judges. There is pending before con- ; right now a conference report creating 24 addi- : eel federal district judges to be appointed for life. If authorizes the appointment for life by the “president of these 24 federal judges, and the usual pro- cedure is followed, Attorney General Daugherty will rec- ommend men to be appointed by the president. In the light of recent events, do the people of the United States want Attorney General Daugherty to select for life 24 more federal judges? Here is a case where second thought cannot cure a blunder. The damage would _ be irreparable. greatness of our life depends on so little! In the midst of the penis incldents of ordinary days, the verse of 8 poet may suddenty reveal to us something stupendous. No solemn word has been spoken, ‘and we feel that nothing has been called forth; and yet, why has an Ineffable face beckoned to us from behind an old man's fears? Or does s vast night, starred with angels, extend over the smile of a Promises to Retire One Auto Mrs. Phebe McCleverty, who is running for county ditor, gets down to brass tacks on the economy issue ‘when she the voters that, if elected, she will turn back the Studebaker touring car now operated by the office. She points out that the auditor has virtually no public use for an automobile and remarks very wisely that on ‘the rare occasions when a machine is needed for county ‘business she can borrow one for a few hours from ‘the commissioners. A few definite promises like that will “get us much further on the road toward lower taxes than : general campaign talk that some politi- cians are making. ; Mrs. McCleverty is in many ways one of the most in- teresting figures in the county race this year. Widow of a well known Seattle service man who was killed in ‘France, she has stepped quietly into his shoes since his loss and has made good. Now she is going after public office with the same air of quiet efficiency that has marked her private career. have figures to show that a dry net alka anti ot wing of three and one-haif billion gold marks annually.

Baker, candidate for state senator in the 36th district, is running. This is quite in line with other pro- gressive measures for which she stands and for which, ‘thru a long period of years, she has stood in Seattle. Reduction of legislative appropriations, fewer laws and insistence on a more rigid law enforcement, better protec- tion for bank depositors, further curbing of the Japanese inroads, redistricting of the state to give King county more just representation and reopening of the Medical Lake industrial home—these are some of the other points she is urging at this time. Mrs. Baker is known, by name at least, to many thou- sands of Star readers, because of her long record in civic work and on behalf of progressive legislation. She was one of the original organizers of the Parent-Teacher movement and has held various offices in the organiza- tion. She was also a founder of the Campfire Girls. For two years she was president of the King County Legisla- tive Federation and during several sessions represented the women of the state at Olympia. Mrs. Baker is the mother of five children now attend- ing Queen Anne high school and the state university. Some of the cartoonists of the country, perhaps not over friendly to the party in power, have been Wkening congress during the past week to the well known Roman emperor who insiged upon rendering a violin solo while Kome burned. The comparison is unfair and inaccurate. "There is no danger of the country burning this winter; but, unless this body acts at once, there will be justification for referring to congress as fiddling while America freezes—Representative Brennan (R.), Mich. A Sheriff With a Kick in Him Nobody, as far as The Star recalls, ever attempted to _ a tin halo about the rugged brow of Matt Starwich, ing county sheriff. And an artist would have a hard time making a realistic job of it if he tried. But, nevertheless, Matt Starwich has been a capable sheriff. He has caught his quota of the crooks and run his office on a real economy basis. Besides, he’s been an entertaining sort of a sheriff; there’s more than a swagger of the old-time Western picturesqueness about Matt that makes him fit the role.
