Listen to the outcry of Kdward Eraser, seaman, who is in a Buffalo hospital minus an aural appendage which rude enemies rf his cut off and sent in a jar of alcohol to Harry Coulby, president of a trust steamship company on the Lakes, M a warning not to be so zealous in employing nonunion men; listen to l-rai-er's indignant roar: "Let ac out of this Joint. I want that ear. and I'm going to get tt and thn fellow* who copped It from me. It belongs t.i me. t d.m't care If somebody did make Coulby a prcscut of It. It ain't hla for keeps. Thus take the original owner of the ear when apprised that it had arrived in far distant Cleveland, nicely pickled. Up t.i that time he thought it had been swept up by some street sweeping machine tir perhaps carried off by wine prowling cat. At any rate, he did not think it was being openly flaunted cither as a trophy of war or a* an exhibit of the wrath of union sympa thizers against the steamship company. Becoming sensible that the car was being treated as something apart from him, ** ebmcthing excluded from his humble personality forever, the instinct of kindred moved in him and he asserted his claim. And indeed, it appears as if the property element had been entirety overlooked in the matter. The ear was passed hud dcringiy from hand to hand and then gravely entrusted to an attorney who carried it off to Washington with much ceremony, to gi\c it to the government authorities. It was viewed not as an ear belonging to Frazer, but « an car that belonged to the human family at large. The personal interest all centered M Coulby, who had only had his ears threatened, while the man who had lost the ear was ignored. When he proclaimed his attachment for the car. F rarer was perfectly right, we believe. There is no precedent the* makes an ear the property of the chance finder, and no title rests *** him to transfer it to others: It does not even, like timber, become personality when cut It belongs inherently to the site that grew it. no matter bom far removed. It was altogether ■ k this In the name of right and justice we favor the reunion of Frazer with his aural apj»endagc; soon, at once. (Cries of 'Ear 1 ■ __*__. John K. Humphries says In John U.

To the Editor of Th* Star: It would seem as though ths present war* a good time to renew th* agitation for a separation of King county from th* city of Seattle, by th* formation of a Seattle county, the boundaries of which would be coincident with those of the city of Seattle. Th* remainder of the present county could be reorganized Into a new King county, with some smaller town, such ss Kent, for instance, as ths new county seat One good reason for this is to b* found in the prssent anomalous condition of affaire with respect to police authority In King county, both the sheriff's office and th* city police force having complete police Jurisdiction in th* city of Seattle. Th* present sheriff sauna to be acting on th* theory that he should not butt Into purely munici pal police affairs, in conflict with a settled policy of an executive who Is fresh from an election at th* hands of the people, and it would seem that th* sheriff is exactly right ie adopting this course. Most people would regard his use of police authority In th* city limits of ••attic as sn unwarranted intrusion in civic affairs. But nevertheless th* dual authority exists. Other sheriffs may and have looked at it differently. In th* past there hay* bean serious clashes between the forces of the police chief and of th* sheriff, and there will be In the future If th* remedy of county division be not applied. Chief of the reasons why there should be a division, however, I* that it should be possible by making Seattle a saparate county to save vast amounts of salary expense. Th* present dual system of government could be don* away with. Many city and county office* could be conducted under a single head. The policing of th* county oould be turned over entirely to the city police, and ths sheriffs office, with a greatly reduced staff of employe*, could devote itself wholly to the matters pertaining to the service of legal paper*. The city and county jail could be made on*. Th* city and county treas- ' urers could be made one. Th* board of county commissioners could be merged with th* city council. There would be no need of both a city and a county engineer's office. Seattle's tax** would bs spent In Seattle. At present, while Seattle pays nine-tenths of King county's tsaes, there srs three commissioners, of whom but on* is chosen from Seattle, th* other* being from the North and South country districts. Seattle is put to heavy expenss for th* building snd mam tenanee of county roads, which would be th* part of wisdom If all ef th* county were tributary to this city, which It Is not. Much of the southern portion of King county transacts all of Its business In the city of Tacoms, which It adjoins. Th*r* sre probably good arguments both in favor of and against th* scheme of county division. Politics! considerations, or th* fact thst many political job* would be abolished in this city if the change wars made, will net hsvs much weight with the taxpayers as opposing ■ Actors. I __. .M* York, San Francisco and othsr large cities hsvs adopted II * VL* "h*'n* of *n 'dsntlosl city and county. Let m* suggest that The Star a,cert.ln from th* official* of 6sn Francisco just what * ™.gV war* made possible 'nd what •»noml*a wars instituted ss ai result of th,,r. eh» 8* to this system, and thsn lay those facta before th* taxpayer* of Seattle for their consideration. ... -._■ - -.. ■..■■ If Jame* It Garfield would only say a kind word for a gentleman with a golf temperament.
