President's Ride About City A Queen Anne hill citizen writes The Star protesting Against the route that has been arranged for President Harding's ride about the city. He says that the course thas been laid out so that the president will miss the West Queen Anne boulevard and Highland Drive, from P which one of the most magnificent views in the country fis obtainable, in order that he may be taken past the Mresidence of a certain self-seeking Seattleite, } “This is an outrage on Seattle,” writes the Queen Anne hill man. “The president is denied the view of Sound, *ha>hor, Clympics—the finest in the world and one Se- battle is justly proud of—that Blank's vanity may be gratified and his importance magnified. This should tbe changed.” > If the complaint is well founded, the route should be | changed.

On Dealing in Dukes 4 The duke of Manchester is writing his life-story. He Ptells of his visit to this country and of being the guest Of the late Senator Tabor, of Colorado. After whisky and Soda and a good cigar, Tabor said to him, “Now, Duke, What will you take in cash to be my son-in-law?” ‘ Right down to business, you see. The duke turned down tHe original proposition, and a Tater one, doubling the first, not because he was not for Sale, but because he was not disposed to select the hard- "headed old Colorado miner as his purchaser. Sometimes ven dukes are finicky about that sort of thing. ' Tabor’s proposition, frank and straightforward and Sinesslike, need cause no surprise. It was like Tabor. knew there had been numerous large deals in a mediocre quality of dukes about that time, and, having the money and a pretty daughter, he saw no good reason iy he should not make a bid for the marketable speci- men before his eyes at the moment. Really, there was #no good reason why he shouldn't. Being a plain, blunt ‘man and unacquainted with the little refinements of sleek | dealing, he got right down to brass tacks without ado. | But the duke remained on the market until he finally - Bucceeded in grabbing off another American heire: _ whose father would not have given a nickel a dozen for ‘)dukes. It was a safe play, however. When he got no !i paternal blessing fit to print and less gold, at his wed- ding, the duke knew that, in due time, his wife would “inherit millions, and he could wait until then for his | ase price. He waited more or less contentedly and | ie won. The duke market is not so active as it was in the old, glad days when American millionaires were more easy. They have come to know that it is quite impossible to buy a duke without paying the price in grief and gold, “cash or deferred instailments. At Fairbanks, President Harding had reached a point further north 3 than any other president, say the correspondents. Bosh! President Taft Ey ‘went up Salt river to within two miles of the North Pole. Oldest street car in the world is only 35. You never would guess it by _ looking at ours.

Folks are asking that. And justly, too. To a ‘few earnest democrats, their party may differ fom the republicans. It may be more liberal, more a party of protest. But to the politicians today in power, the party, “be it democratic or republican, is merely a vehicle of power. it is time for one party or the other to change that. » Chances that the republican party will do it are almost "ynil. Chances that the democrats will do it are not much W better. But they are a little better and that is more than nothing.
