And our government, tho it is seldor considered, is one of the biggest enterprises that we have The Star believes that the salaries of many public offi ers are insufficient. It believes that the council should Move carefully; that it should consider wisely; that it Should grant increases where increases are due; that EVERY city employe is entitled to a living wage. It believes that too little care is taken in appropriating large sums for projects that the appropriators understand little about and that too often a “penny-wise-and-pound- foolish” attitude is taken on such subjects as whether or not a city employe is to have enough in the house to eat. The joint committee of police and firemen which h ; been before the committee along with representatives of other departments, has prepared an excellent brief of their case, which is typical of the ease of many others. Bey: An elaborate collection of facts and figures, which has ' Mecessitated much research, shows, according to their __ brief: » “That the firemen and policemen of Seattle are entitled to a flat increase of $25 a month for all classes. This figure is a conservative estimate and would still place ‘them below a living standard. » “That the responsibility of Seattle’s firemen and police- “men is as great as that of the men in the largest citie ‘that their efficiency ranks with the highest; that their “compensation is below an American standard; and lower than the pay in other cities of the same class and that ' of many cities of less population; that their compensation in its race with the cost of living has been hopelessly outdone; and that it is unreasonable to expect them to Maintain an A-1 force on salaries that are so obviously - inadeqiate to attract the caliber of personnel necessary ‘to maintain the departments.” 7 buy up all our coal lands now in private hands “and take over control of the industry, everybody would "set up a howl which would lift the roof. They would call him socialist, communist, syndicalist, evik and worse. _ Yet David Lloyd George, former premier of Britain, leader of England’s great liberal party, advocates that the British government do that. _ Elsewhere on this page you can read about it. You will find it interesting, particularly as the recommenda- “tons come not from the labor government of Premier Ramsay MacDonald, who for many years has advocated | nationalization of mines, but from what might be called ‘the democratic party of England. For that matter, the scheme is not without supporters mong the conservative party. The Spectator, a conserva- ive organ, regrets it was the liberal party, rather than the conservative, which discovered it because “there is n ing in it which is inconsistent with conservative Read the story. See how progressive “conservative” Old Mother England is becoming. She is setting’ a pace progressive action which America, her emancipated child, will find it hard to follow. p The Worth While (“ONCLUDING an article on the idea that women are outgrowing the obsession that it is their duty to untry to bear children, Mrs. Walter Ferguson writes: “If God denies you babies, you are a martyr and to be owed with; if you have denied them to yourself, are to be pitied the more for being so short-sighted to deprive yourself of the sweetest thing that a woman in ever know.” _ _ True, and we'd like to have Mrs. Ferguson’s beautiful _ thought and popular pen on th man’s side of it. God “knows there are plenty of men who marry for other pur- " Poses than that of parentage—and there are other sor‘ men. ‘ Not long ago, the writer took an ocean trip with a man “whom he had known for a half-century. For many long years, this man had been driven by ambition, but was now retired. He had established a business successful _almost beyond precedent. His estate had arrived at $40,000,000 or more. He had buried three fine boys— half of his number of children. Fortune, distinction and _ luxuries without end were his. He was known as hard- “headed, if not hard all over, in his line of business; a Man not to be approached off-hand, or at all known without study. The two old fellows talked the past half- ‘century over to a finish, and the writer said: - “Well, you certainly have’ worked and worried, won and lost, and are now at the top. What do you thing ‘ is most worth while in this great scheme called life?” pa. “The children,” he answered, without hesitation, “My child” is the sweetest thing that a woman can ver know, Mrs. Ferguson.

Of course. It was just one more “thrill” at the ex- pense of law and justice. To the murder , Prosecutor Crowe looked real funny standing up their s eating and raving for an issue that could be purchased for money, just as everything else in their lives had been, The judge didn’t see the point and didn’t laugh. Neither did the attorneys, nor the spectators. The “thrill” in it was solely for those who didn’t believe in Divine or human justice. To laugh aloud, with the hangman’s noose before the eyes, was not insanity. It was “running true to form,” deriding law and flounting justice, God’s and man’: just as when little Bobbie Franks’ /bloody body was crowded into the drain pipe. a y HAS GENERAL BUTLER CLEANED UP PHILADELPHIA?
