Native Sons and Sunsets One queer thing right after another seems to be hap- pening in this Ford boom, which is rattling right along ipparently without anybody at the steering wheel. Study of the figures in the national poll, just concluded by Collier’s Weekly, shows that—with only one exception —he is putting all the “native sons” in the shade in their home states. In Alabama, Ford led Underwood, 1,257 to 982. In Ohio, Ford ran ahead of both Harding and Cox with §,548 votes to their 4,364 and 2,260, respectively, In Idaho, Ford licked Bill Borah, 67 to 34, In Wisconsin, Ford had 1,954 votes to 1,498 for Follette. In California, faced by Ford had 4,808 votes to 3, Adoo and 728 for Hoove In New York, Ford los hind Harding, who had 6, nd Gov. Al Smith McAdoo, who used to liv New York before he California, polled only 977 in New York. Gov. Smith is the only prospective candidate that Ford so far has failed to beat in the candidate's home state. Looks like some of the “native sons” are suffering a bad eclipse.

Henry Ford can’t play golf well enough to be president, Keeping Seattle’s Eye Blacked The Star has spoken before of the manner in which a local newspaper’s rabid and unfair anti-public ownership campaign, long continued, has injured Seattle. Today's mail brings one more of a series of tangible evi- dences of this harm. It is in the form of the “Investment Bulletin,” published by Henry L. Doherty & Co., 60 Wall st., New York. This little organ circulates widely among bond dealers, bankers, financial hous Under the heading, “The Seattle Situation,” the Seattle afternoon paper, period has been knocking it it quotes which over a protracted ome town, as follows: nt ownership in Seattle has been 23 Lack of 4 politicians—the ha: tles—have increased the bad results of In King county the estimated value of tax-exempt property is $188,014.18. This ts approximately one-fourth of the value of all the Property tn the county. In that impressive total are many millions that should not be there. They represent the value of public utilities which should be paying taxes into the publio treasury. The editorial, of course, was written with the motive of influencing local affairs. Seattle people knew it to be untruthful, biased and misleading and made due allow- ances. But the investing public which reads Doherty's bulletin is not in position to make similar allowances. Those people will accept the statement at much nearer its face value. They will see in it only a damaging slur on Seattle’s condition and a reason why, in investing funds, th should steer clear of this community. 1 and town-operated utili: ble failure.

The end of the dictatorship of the world by men is in sight. The day is not far off when the women’s party, of which I am presi- dent, will be strong enough to impose any measure it May choose. All of which leads to an expression of concern and s pathy for the “dictatorship of the proletariat” in Russia, the Messrs. Lenin and Trotsky. They had talked and planned that way themselves, and now Mrs. Belmont and her sisters are going to crowd them off the big job. Well, the king is dead.

Why We Stay on Sand Bars A small steamship from Bergen, Norway, goes thru the . Welland canal and up the Great Lakes. In the bay at Superior, Wis., the ship grounds on a sand bar. Four hours later a tug comes alongside and inquires what’s wrong. The Norwegian captain s he’s waiting for flood tide to float his ship off the ba Being told there’s no tide in the Great Lakes, he refuses aid and announces determinedly that there must be a tide and that he’ll wait until it shows up. In politics often, and in our personal affairs frequently, most of us have about the same attitude. That’s why we remain on the sand bars, Bartenders should make good umpires.
