If you have a friend in the Hast, with a little capital and the knack of raising chickens, tell him about the op- portunities near Seattle. There is plenty of room for more egg producers and, with a little horse sense, failure is almost impossible. A growing market is here. The demand, at present, is greater than the supply, “Oh, Hellas,” said King George, as he slammed the palace door and slipped out of Greece. Everybody's Newspaper Ro NING thru the afternoon's mail, we came a letter today that gave us a real jolt of joy. In it a reader referred to The Star as “Everybody's Newspaper.” And that meant a lot to us. It hit squarely the thing we've been striving to accomplish. We've wanted to make The Star something more than a collection of news stories and pictures that you found on your front porch or your news stand in the evening. We've wanted to make it a real, live, breathing, interesting friend to you —to everybody. At times we've tried to visualize what The Star ought to look like, could it, with the aid of some magic wand, be turned into a human being. And we decided that the man who best typified in looks and personality the kind ae person we'd like The Star to be was Teddy Roose- velt. The Star, we decided, should wear continually, like Teddy, a broad, good-natured smile. It should be jolly, It should be courageous. It should be human, and a good family man. It should be colorful—picturesque. And, when the need arose, it should, like Teddy, have the force of character to grit its teeth and plunge headlong into a fight, no matter what the odds. We like to think The Star that way. have you think of it that way. We're going to keep it just as human, just as kind, just as red-blooded and colorful, as we can. When we see good deeds done, we're going to praise them. When . We find knavery and crookedness, we're going to ex- pose it. We want The. Star to reflect the spirit of Seattle. want it to be an open forum in which the people of attle can argue the pros and cons of every civic question. Just as The Star, seeking a cure for the traffic tragedy at present, has invited ideas from all its readers, so will it invite the ideas of all on other Seattle problems as they arise. We want to make it truly across And we'd like to We erybody’s Newspaper.” Now that Gen. Wood's son has admitted making $800,000 playing Wall Street from the Philippines, the tax collectors are sharpening their pen- ceils. And they're broad-minded enough not to quibble about how he came by the money. Dispels Criticism NO happening In recent years will tend more to re- - store confidence in the responsiveness to the wishes he people of the federal courts than the recent de- cision here in the telephone rate case by Federal Judge E. E. Cushman. The history of telephone litigation between company and communities thruout the nation has been one of suc- cessive victories for the telephone monopoly. Even the phone company has boasted of this in literature advertis- ing new bond issues. Judge Cushman, an employe of the telephone company before his elevation to the bench, rendered an opinion that has met with approval of the lay public as well as with lawyers of the state who are well versed in the legal angles of the case. Much criticism attached to Judge Cushman several months ago when he granted the phone company an in- junction preventing interference by the state department of public works in a contemplated te jump. But his ruling this week, dismissing the phone com- pany’s action; has dispelled much of that criticism. The way for Judge Cushman’s ruling -was paved largely by ‘the clear method in which Corporation Council Kennedy and Assistant Attorney General Clifford pre- sented the case. One or two cities excepted, American municipalities are living beyond their incomes, the census bureau reports. Citles are quite likely to follow the example set by their residents. Going Back Far Enough R. HRDLICKA, celebrated anthropologist of the Na- tional museum, sweeps all the discussion off the ta- ble. He tells the As: ion for Advancement of Sci- ence that the re! lationship of the ape of today to man is probably that of “cousin,” and adds: “If we went far enough back, however, beth probably would be found to have had their origin in the state of a simple, double molecule.” ape should cheer up, ng thru life bur anyway. If he is fated to ed with cousinship to man, in as good standing the billy goat, the buzzard the Gila monster and such, which, like man, had their origin, if we go back far enough, in the double-barreled molecule. What's pride of ancestry as between cousins? LETER FROM ~~ V RWWGE MANN Jan. 4, 1924 Dear Folk the THE HN-m> WHOSE MOVE 1ST Now ? Go T,cau! Goi, Hit SEATTL ESTAR By Golly!

We inquired whether there wasn't something we could do to help. "Yew," said Leonard, “there ‘s Tam going to write an editorial, and I'd ike to see it printed." We aighed in relief, had feared that perhaps might be on the verge of losing one of our best copy-chasers. “All right, Leonard,” we sald, “If it's worth printing, we'll print it.” And here it is, folks, just as Leonard wrote it.

We wore off” eating candy—and it looks like all the sweetshop windows in town are conspiring against us. We pledged ourselves not to lose our tempers—and everybody seems to be more vexing than ever before. We promised ourselves that we were going to church every Sunday—and oh! how we do hate to get up when the mercury is down to 20 de- grees! We were going to save five dollars out of every’ payday and put it in the bank—and were there ever so many bills to pay and so many things to buy, and so little money with which to do either? Just remember, tho, that the first 30 days are the hardest, and that if you can stand by your guns until your new habits begin to develop backbone, you will be the better off for the effort. || Frieda’s Follies | A THOUGHT | SOME w We others, know AT LEAST in matrimony I HAVE been LONG enough THIS WOMAN married the son AND THEN the father.
