FRIDAY MARCH 14, 19 >, 2 months $1.60, 6 months 920°, | The Seattle star | pur Pely by The te | Puntiening Ce | Phone Main The Duty of Mayor Brown THE 2 citizens voted ag h ing the past two years, a number almost as large ter of fact the mayor's policies. That’s worth thinking about. STAR would like to call to the attention of Mayor Brown the fact that 7 1inst him in the election Tuesday. at means that while 40,740 voters indorsed Brown’s administration dur- only 4,998 fewer, as a mat- expressed themselves at the polls as being out of sympathy with The almost evenly divided vote leads The Star to this conclusion: That it is up to Mayor Brown, during his next term in the office, to be a bigger and a broader mayor than he hi in the mayoralty chair. That he owes thi been during his first two years , not only to his own loyal supporters, but to the great body of citizens, equally good, who opposed him. The Star bélieves that he can do this. in the campaign. Brown, the candidate, meant nothing to The Star. d r } hands Seattle has placed the guidance of its public means the man in wh affs for the next two years. It indorsed no candidate for mayor Brown, the mayor, To Brown, the mayor, The Star wants to express the assurance that he will have the help of this newspaper in eve he will have its stiffest opposition in eve Contemptuous WICE has the Third appellate court of California re- buked a superior court judge, one Busick, for his prejudicial handling of “criminal syndicalism” cases. Busick merrily on, despite the constitution and the Third appellate court Is it proper to ask whether Judge Busick is not in contempt of that appellate bench? goes = to life, blames Daniels for the naval oll leases, That's an alibi as his “Id know” replies to the sex committee. Those Loving Friends [f is the favorite method of the average statesman to assert that his presidential candidacy is reluctant answer to the clamorous insistence of his friends. “Vot iss a friend?” queried the long, lean and gangling Mr, Fields, once on a time, as he prodded the overstuffed anatomy of Mr. Weber with his stiffened thumb. “Yah, vot iss a friend?” piped the overstuffed Mr. Weber. “A friend,” replied the lean and gangling Mr. Fields, as he prodded the overstuffed Mr. Weber with increased vigor, “a friend iss a man yot knows you iss no goot an’ von’t say nodding about it.” And that’s where the laugh came in then, as now. Bennett, whe was McLean's man Friday, must feel highly compli- mented by the way € fied others now have ne recolicetion of what was said when he talked to them, As to the Children AMSAY MACDONALD, labor premier of England, is preparing legislation for the betterment of the chil- dren of -his country. He will endeavor to modify the labor burdens of the little ones and he will look to their schooling. Beyond that, he will seek to undo the present law that’ permits marriage among children almost as soon as they reach their teens. It is wise procedure— the wisest a government, hoping to survive, may take. The greatest problem confronting America is that hav- ing to do with children, and yet we view it lightly and measure it with more or less indifference. We are taking great chances. Ever are we placing our system of gov- ernment in jeopardy, for the misused, neglected, bur- dened, under-educated, misdirected children of today will take over our institutions on the morrow. What will they do with them? Will they change their architecture or destroy them altogether? ' Evidently Ramsay MacDonald has clearer vision than we can boast of. Teapot Dome seandal has reached a point where perfectly good G. 0. P. men are refusing to be “goats” for one another. That's probably the turning point downward for “invisible government.” It’s Overpowering E is reported that Wizard Nikolai Tesla has issued from several years of retirement with an invention that will transmit power by radio. Thunder an light- ning! Suppress it, dear Nikolai! For, added to what we're already getting by. radio, in the shape of stuttering addresses, snarled sermons and cat-fight music, it means unabridged domestic agony. . “Willie, you go to bed this instant! D’ya hear me?” But little Willie goes to his radio set, gets some of this new Nikolai power and puts Dad to bed, instead. Think, also, of its giving woman equality of paysical power with man, about the only sort of equality that she hasn’t already got the bulge on. Is there a husband reading these lines who cannot see the contumely that’s threat- ened by it? Let no he head of a house go to cheering for radio-transmitted power until he takes several far- reaching thoughts on all of its possibilities. Inventor of a truth serum wants to sell a barrel of it to the Teapot Dome committee. Let's not place the order until a few more flies haye heen caught in the tanglefoot of lies.

It was Our Daily Bread By Robert Talley ———/ ‘ASHINGTON, March 14 \ Every time the nation sits down to a meal, it costs about $16,000,000 In grocer and butcher bills It takes about $49,000,000 a day, or an average of almost 50 cents, for each man, woman and child to fill the country’s market basket. About amount tatoes, one-third of this is spent for bread, po- fruits, sugar and other food of vegetable origin. 16 other two-thirds goes for meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, lard, milk and the like The people of the States spend for food about $1.500,000,000 a month, or $18,- 000,000,000 a year, according to estimates from the department of agriculture, just published in the Scientific American. If all the eggs consumed by the nation in a single day were 9 one, they would make a monster egg, 36 feet long and 24 feet high. There are 2,500,- 000,000 eggs used in a year. Tf all the milk consumed in one day was poured into one bottle, this bottle would have to he 385 feet high and 152 feet 'in diameter. In a year's time, about 10,600,000,000 gallons. of milk are used {in one form or another, In a single day there ts con- sumed 1,095,890 pounds of cheese, 2,849,315 quarts of ice cream, 4,383,561 pounds of but- ter, and 6,849,315 eggs, accord- ing to the estimates.
