NCLE SAM has just issued a new postage stamp, picturing San Fran- cisco’s well-known “Golden Gate’—there- by proving the old adage that Washington may have been first in peace and war, but it was California who stepped out in the publicity sweepstakes. If ’Frisco can advertise her harbor mouth and Niagara Falls can pour down the face of a 25-cent sticker and the Statue of Liberty can ighten a 15-cent stamp and $2, $1 and 50-cent stamps can bear the pictures of the national capitol, the Lincoln memorial and the Arlington amphitheater, why not a Pacific North- west postage stamp? We are spending millions to advertis our Northwest. Why cannot the North- west benefit from the immense advertis- ing value that would result if a picture of Mt. Rainier cr Puget Sound or any one of a dozen of our nationally-known attrac- tions were used as an engraving for one of our stamp issues. If other parts of the country are en- titled to it, we in’ the Northwest should also be. A Massachusetts prisoner pleads for two years more in jail. Come West, young man!

On Elev ated Plan Editor The & Regarding the. elevated atreet car xystem Since coming here three months ago and having to rely on street cars for transporta tion, I have fully realized the need of @ speedy elevated rail road for Seattle, and most heart ily Indorse the proposition so ably outlined by Mr. Wm. Pitt ‘Trimble on your front page. Some changes would appear advisable Jater on. My sugges diagram of the tion would be to construct the elevation of dirt from Denny hill, leaving an elevated line thru the center of the tract and then tunnel thr Queen Anno hill to the north side to give quick transportation to” that district Kiveryone knows that once an elevated line is built of dirt, it Is there to stay, Seattle is fortunate to have that material at hand for the purpose. The people of Denny hill havo been pleading for over 20 years to have it moved. The Northern Pacifico R. R. elevated their tracks thru Spo: kane years ago, making it of dirt and rock, The Milwaukes R. KR, did the same when they built there, buying up the stores, hotels, hospital, city hall and other buildings and crossed the Spokane river with that great concrete bridge at Mon. roe street, This did away with all grade crossings and the great expense caused by accidents ax well as speeding up trains when going thru tho city, I have been in and out of Seattle for 38 years, and hope to see her craw) out of provin. cialism and get on the map where she rightfully belongs. R. WALLIS, 2022 Boren ava, . On Mrs, Editor The Star Wor a long while 1 have been puzzled at tho presence on the editorial page of The Star of the printed ravings of a Mra, Walter Werguson Ferguson What ia the idea? Why do you pollute thin dignified page Which, but for this flaw, Ja the best conducted and most inter esting of any newspaper in the country? It is Inconcelvable that there can be any editoial reader who fy not disgusted when he reads the vindletive and sometimes im. hecile product of her pen Mra, Ferguson's articles reek ! with nex antagonism inconsistent and contradictory literary merit in them, and it is evident they are written by a person of a low mental plane. Surely your wom en readers do not enjoy reading such stuff, so why waste space? A few months ago sho wrote an article denouncing the age- old belief that the husband should be the head of the house- hold. She stated that the mas- tership of the house should be shared equally by the husband and wife, A week ago she burst forth with another article nas vitriolic as the first but—shades of the changeable spirit of wom- an-—it scathingly condemns the man of today for being so meek and spineless as not to seize hold of the throne that naturally belonged to him and make him- self the lord and master of his household. Yes, Mr. Editor, women have a right, perhaps, to change their minds whenever they choose, but please have Mr, Fixit or somebody make them stop do: ing it on your editorial page.
