PLOUF, to be remarkable sort 1 the rules Confronted with the facts that boys will be and t th will, if left to themselves, turn in false alarms and start fires “to see the engines run,” Mr. Plouf takes altogether the wrong course. He should, obviously, done by means of these days. Then he should get sever: s working. A committee is a peculiar American institution, guaranteed to do nothing with the greatest expenditure of energ After that, Plouf should attend several conventions on child—or wild—life (they’re much the same thing) and offer good, hearty, soul-filling resolutions. But Plouf does none of these thir the rebel! He goes ahead, The Star story and teaches boys and girls to play, gets them playfields and assists them to work off their surplus energy. After they have done that they have no more energy to expend on fire alarms and incendiary fires. Direct action, by gosh! or sumpin’.

Everything is gs, says, The man must be a bolshevist, riiaeh and Politics women fizst entered polities they stood behind It was a matter HEN one another in admirable fashion. of sex loyalty. But now they have apparently learned the way of the politicians. The women's attitude in the present city controversy, of which Mrs. Henry Landes is the storm center, shows as divided an opinion among the sex as would be expected should a man have started the affair. Be Courteous ; HEN you have been in a strange city, you have WW ietiticne asked a stranger how to get to Main st., and have been told that you were standing on it. To thousands of people here now—our tourist friends—Se- attle is just as strange a city as Bagdad is to you, and they will, without doubt, stop you to ask you questions that seem trivial to you. Put yourself in their place, and answer as you would want to be answered under the same circumstances, remembering always that the tourists’ courteous host is YOU! Decaying Dollars INE miles out from Tacoma, on the Pacific highway, lies Washington’s senile and overgrown “Deserted Village.” . Block after block—street after street—of decaying, un- painted structures still bearing such mystic designations as “G, H. 2,” “2nd Inf. B” and “Packers’ School,” echoing hollowly where once the never-ending tramp of hobnailed shoes sounded. Acre after acre of sparse, sunbrowned herbage where thousands of horses and mules once grazed and frolicked. They call it Camp Lewis, but it’s another argument against war. A monetary argument and hence more effective. Even the addition of the citizen-soldiery of Oregon and Washington, the students, citizens’ military training corps and the National Guardsmen, with the skeletoned regu- lar army unit stationed there, makes little showing in thé vastness of the war-time cantonment. Thousands of men are lost in its rotting magnitude. Thousands of dollars are decaying into piles of lum- ber and gaping windows. It’s a pathetic aftermath of war expenditure, less convincing than the losses in lives. Are You Guilty? ARON WILLY KNOBLOCH DROSTE, of Germany, launched an International Association Against the Tyranny of Parents in New York city last week. The object of the organization is “to assist the sons of nobility and old American families to follow their talents.” There is no valid reason for so limiting the associa- tion’s objectives. Parents in general are inclined to be tyrannical at times. Check up on yourself and see how often you give the kids a bawling out just because you feel like it and think it’s your personal privilege. cath 2 Rand AES Behind the Curtain VERY organized graft ring has its central figure, the “brains” who stands behind the curtain and pulls the strings. This party always takes the bulk of the boodle and runs the least risk. Frequently he is a clever attorney, occasionally a banker, but generally a politician. The small fry sometimes get caught. They prostitute their honor and morals and take a paltry reward that usually is dissipated in riotous living. The criminals who are protected are forced to pay to the limit. They get little for themselves except free- dom from jail punishment. And when the ring is broken even this protection is withdrawn. There usually is “a goat’—a clever, unscrupulous man who holds a position similar to a foreman in an indus- trial plant. He is the connecting link who takes the col- lections. He usually gets paid handsomely—but fre- quently goes to the penitentiary. _ The real leader—the man behind the curtain—never pays the price.

Th as FROM STAR Readers All letters to The Star must have name and address, WHO'S TO BLAME? Editor The Star: In a recent issue of The Star three of our Seattle men in prominent pub- lic positions attempted to analyze the cause and remedy of the situation indicated by the murder of Robert Franks in Chicago, Would it not seem that the way in which they have handled the matter reveals to the light a condition in our own life equal even to the crime referred to? When three men like the Reverend Congregational church, and Dr. Suz- zallo, president of the University of Washington, and Professor Cole, su- perintendent of the Seattle schools, undertake to deal with such a sub- ject and ignore the Bible and fail to give the Lord Jesus Christ _ven an “honorable mention,” present Godless age? They pronounce it a case of “patho- psychology,” but that does not change it one same ugly disease that namely, 8-1.N. Whether you spell it with three or 22 letters, these three Seattle gentlemen, the two boys in | Chicago, and you and I all have it. Any one who believes the Bible knows that Jesus Christ is the only cure for this disease, because He is is the ONLY way and He is the ONLY Truth and He is the ONLY Light. The Chicago case is not a matter pastor of the Plymouth / do they not be-/ come the greatest contributors to this | jota from being | thereby | 0f “over-education,” tor the mint cannot be too well trained fn right — purposes and right things, bate FALSE EDUCATION which fs “off center” will quickly become a 2 cures to any people.

Nearly two thousand years ago'the cry was, “Away with Him? Do you 7 not catch the cry these days? “Give ~ us a ‘moral angle,’ give us tentialities,’ ance,’ give us good resolutions, give us laws, give us this and give us that, and above all give us a religion of some sort”—but not “Him"—the Christ of God. To repeat, cannot this recent Chi- cago crime be traced to the door of — al those who tear down the Bible by failing to hold up the one remedy, the one antidote the one rolution, — the one Savior, and have they not 9s become accompiices. and ~ contributors to the murder of Robert Franks? With a heart sad thru sympathy with the three families in Chictga, and just as sad because of thousands of homes in Seattle in which are shel tered young people who not only 40 not personally know the Lord Jesus Christ, but who have neither paren or teachers who are introducing them to Him, I remain, A.
