Fathers Will Be Fathers
A Kansas man complains that since hi* laughter ha*
taken music lessons, at his expense, she insists upon playing
only classical stuff. When he comes home tired and asks tor
a little tune he gets nothing but musical gymnastics.
The whole feminine part of the community, he thinks,
is in a conspiracy to uplift him, and he doesn t want to be
uplifted.
It is just like father to make a complaint like tliat. Father
never did take kindly to culture He sits disconsolate in the
draughty kitchen, while daughter's Browning circle meets in
the front room.
It is mother's idea entirely that he put on an uncomfort
able collar in the evening and hear a missionary lecture on
Borneo. _ .
Father's taste for music stops short at Suwance River,
and he knows almost nothing about the minor poets and the
pre-Rapaelites.
His art ideas are derived from the illustrated Sunday
supplement. He will not *it in a I.ouis X\ I chair. He carcs
not a whit for the pottery of the ancient Chaldeans.
Shirtsleeves and carpet slippers arc his conception of cor
rect evening dress for gentlemen.
There is little hope that anything permanent can ever
be done for father. When the millennium comes he will still
be found reading his newspaper, smoking up the window cur
tains, impeding the advance of culture —and paying the bills.
ACTRESS HELEN COLLIER says matrimony'* too
stupid for her; chicken raising suits her better, so she buys a
Pasadena ranch Hens may he less stupid than but
if Helen hungers for Al excitement, she should try raising
goats. They're "way ahead of Pasadena husbands.
ITS ONLY the coward, the craven who feels himself
vanquished by fair means, who resorts to fouling tactics and
hitting below the belt. That's why the Mandpat gangsters,
afraid to meet "Bob'* Hodge in open battle on state issues,
are shooting poisoned bullets at him from the back.
The Call of the Mother Land
Here's to the Greeks and Bulgarians and Servians and
Montenegrins of Seattle and the Northwest.
Good red blood flows through their veins, and they have
the right kind of hearts and brain*.
By hundreds they are giving tip prosperous business and
steady work, and answering the call of their mother country
in the war with Turkey They are going about it very
quietly and calmly, and without ostentation—just the way.
in fact, WE believe WE would do in like circumstances
War is an awlul thing, but the old world hasn't quite
outgrown it. And if this nation ever has to endure it again,
we can be sure that the new citizens from the "old countries
will be as ready to fight for their adopted land as they are
to help their mother country in her time ol need.
Observations
SAN FRANCISCO has 180/300 more male than female
residents, speaking of humans, not of fleas.
TEDDY, Grandpa Stephenson and Loriraer might make
a nucleus for an organization of gentlemen who didn t know
they were being "put over."
THERE is really no limit to the meanness of some peo
ple. For example, there are those who venture the opinion
that respect for the dead will keep Taft in greater safety
than a regiment oi soldiers.

The Editor's Mail
Editor The Star: Last Thursday
evening 1 heard ex-Senator Files
address an audience in Arcade hall
This was his argument In favor of
sending Wm. K. Humphrey back to
congress;
Mr. Humphrey has now been In

length of time, he would, sconer or
later, by reason of death or retire

receive the appointment of chair
man of the appropriation commit
tee. In this eyent Seattle and the
suite of Washington could get any
thing desired, not only In the way
of appropriations, but also in favors
granted by the heads of the differ
ent state departments, because
these departments would lie de
pendent upon the appropriation
committee for their annual allow

to refuse anything to the state of
Washington, for fea'r of causing the
