Gilman, "Nicoll & Ruth Monadnock Bids.) € jan Pacific Ide; Boston Come On, Folks; Vote! OME on, everybody! Let's go! Let's settle once and for all whether the people of Seattle and vicinity advocate a foreign policy for this na- tion that looks beyond the borders of our own countr or whether the politicians’ prating about “isolation” is correct. F The Seattle referendum on the prize-winning Bok peace lan offers an opportunity—the first chance voters have ad to tell, directly, the way they stand on this country’s dealings with Europe. : You'll find elsewhere in the paper today a ballot with a space for a “yes” and a “no” vote on the peace plan, Tf you have not already voted, cast your ballot today and mail it to The Peace Plan Editor of The Star. Let’s get this settled NOW. Good Brother Tom Liddecoat is going out from Los Angeles to tour America as an evangelist. It stirs up that old problem, “Why do evan: Relists leave home? Don’t Tempt °Em Too Much HERE’S just one danger in this announcement of Secretary Mellon's that there is a $300,000,000 sur- plus in the coffers of Uncle Sam. Hanged if we can see the wisdom of whetting up the appetite of congress that way. It’s just like staking down a nice fat sheep in the wolf lands of Arizona, Speciat Ni tatives 9 ofticn Tribune Bide office, Tremont Bldg, Ban Francie New York office, ‘The Old Guard never surrenders, but It gets down and crawls, on oc Prejudices, Old and New 'N 1797 a man was arrested for wearing one of the first silk hats, in London. He was charged with wearing a tall structure having a shiny luster apt to frighten timid ple. The magistrate considered this so menacing that bound over the dude in the sum of $2,500 not to wear his silk tile again. Seems improbable. London Daily Mail, however, digs the story from ancient records of the courts. A hundred years from now, many of the bitter prejudices and bones of contention of today will seem as ridiculous as the silk hat episode of 1797 seems to us today. They are executing bandits over in China now, but enough will be left to keep the mah Jongg business moving. Everybody down in Washington seems to be cutting into Mellon. The Responsibility of Power G. WELLS recently wrote in the American Maga- » zine, that he considered Lord Northcliffe, the mighty newspaper owner, a failure. Northcliffe rose from next to nothing, He got the power, all right. He failed, Wells argues, in not knowing what to do with the power after he got it. Power carries with it responsibilities and a code of honor as to using or abusing the power. That’s why Providence entrusts power to so few people, Giving power to some would be like sharpening a wolf’s fangs or putting a bull in a china store. Speaking of the well-known progress of selenee, it is reported that the surgeons of Sonoma (Cal.) State hospital operated on the wrong girl. The third party is beginning to realize that it has missed a nice little tour in a flivver. Drumming Up the Vote Trade 'S taking a lot more stage-setting and clacking, on the part of the political bosses, to stir up enthusiasm over the coming national elections than was the case four years ago. Each election, people seem less interested in politics than the time before. If you doubt this, consult any old man who recalls the torchlight processions and red fires of years long since. The people have already been ballyhooed into the same sideshow many times and are ready for a new act. They usually go in, expecting a new act, and find it’s the same old Dog-Faced Boy. English women, in order to gain the right to vote, are swearing that they are older than they really are, thus proving that human nature ean be changed. President Cal refuses to comment on the Ford indorsement, whereas everybody was sure he would wax garrulous and say “Whoopee!* A Banana Conference in Alaska WORLD conference on water power is to be held next summer. Naturally, you say, it will be held at some center where water power abounds. Say the Pacific Coast, which has 25,000,000 horse-power and $1,000,000,000 invested in electric development. You are wrong. It will be held in London. England runs its industry by coal and has no water power to speak of. Of course, you wouldn’t hold a banana convention in Alaska or an ice skating tournament in San Diego. London is a long way off and it costs a pretty penny to get there. The power companies can send across their staffs of lawyers and engineers and charge the costs of the junket to the consumers in rates. The advocates of public ownership will have to stay at home. Hiram Johnson is going down South to seek delegates. ( alvin Cool Sdge is going to stay in Washington. Let’s see, did the mountain come to Mahomet, or didn’t it? It didn’t. Real Adventures OW’D you like tobe Stanley Carlson, who's himself out as a human porcupine to slay wolves in Canada for government bountie: He has a cowhide suit covered with sharp spikes, w mask and spiked gloves. He invites wolves to attack him while he swings his ax. It looks safe enough, from a distance, and allur- ing. But most of us wouldn’t trade the monotonous jobs we so often grumble at. i More attractive is the new job of Allan J. Ge ocean adventurer. You'll recall he navigated a sailboat across the Atlantic in 143 days. He'll spe next two years sailing his boat alone in the Pacific where he expects to visit every French island. How-~ ever, anyone who has ever seen a real storm at sea will say: “I'll stick to my dull routine and not change pl with Allan.” Most of us are forever yearning for advéntures, What we want are the glory of thrills, not the cold and ma- terial side. Adventures involve hardships which are a “heap sight” better to read about than to experience. People don’t really want to experience adventures, They just imagine they do. Cunning fiction writers know this, so they soft-pedal the disagreeable side, For instance, it’s fine to read about the ghostly far-off mid- night tom-tom in the jungle. The picture is spoiled if the writer tells about the adventurers being devoured by mosquitoes. Even the adventurer has to pay in full for his end thri That's natural law and he can’t « rigged aces cape it. But, Mr. Coolidge, will a Ford accessory fit?
