HOW WE GET "GOOSE PONDS''
IF you read our articles on how millions could l)e
" saved and a better army maintained by reduc
ing the 59 army posts to eight departments, you
probably said it would be a good scheme. Cer
tainly it would seem that the whole country
would be for a measure that saved much money
and gave greater efficiency. Hut, not so. f ifty
nine members of congress, owing their political
lives to "pork," defeat the will of the people.
How? This way:
The 59 go to the other hundreds in congress
and say: "Vote for our pork and we will vote tor
your tariff on steel, wool, lemons, or for an ap
propriation for harbor improvements in your
'Goose Pond.'"
This may not be the language, but it is the
process by which the few defeat the many, by
which all of us are made to spend our money waste
fully to boost business at 59 different points, by
which the republic is defeated In getting what it
wants.
Look at the "Goose Pond" Congressman Hum
phrey got out of the "pork barrel" for Seattle's
new postoffice site.

MOTHER'S REMARKABLE, TOO
VI KY likely Mrs. Winifred Stoner's "Ten Com
mandments of Natural Education," which
appeared in Ihe Star Friday, have worked all
right in respect of the thundering fine child she's
got reared as far as i \ years of age, but it's a fair
guess that the child itself is an exception among
children. *
Here's Commandment No. 8 that'* got us
flurried: "Thou shaft always answer thy child's
questions."
There is a certain child we know—boy, aged 5
—who daily asks J,660 the tirst hour he's awake,
and keeps it up until 7:lo p. m. and we are wilt
ing to wager a large sum that neither, Mrs. Stoner
nor anybody else can truthfully and correctly an
swer 7S per cent of his questions. It seems to be
his life-work to get a natural education by asking
questions and he has got his parents taking up their
life-work again in trying to find the answers.
There's only one port of refuge from a child who is
getting a natural education that way and that is
to fall back on "I don't know," which is no answer.
It Mrs. Stoner is raising an unusually remark
able child thru strict adherence to her "Ten Com

CONGRATULATIONS, SPOKANE!
THAT the reactionaries, flushed by victory in the
I astern states, mistake the signs if they think'
the same condition prevails in the West, is indi
cated by the victory in Spokane last week of the
Spokane Press.
Fighting practically single-handed, the Press,
a sister paper in the Scripps league of The Seattle
Star, succeeded in electing two of the three city
commissioners up for election. More important
than that, the people also defeated several reac
tionary amendments to the city charter.
Congratulations to the Press, and, better yet,
congratulations to the free, progressive spirit evi
denced by the people of Spokane.

IT IS A THING TO WATCH
A MOST important hearing is that of the court
martial, at San Francisco, of Lieut.-Col.
Cioodier, judge advocate of the Western depart
ment of the United States army, in which the
aviation corps is involved. It is important in that
it is one of the few instances in which "pull" and
"graft" arc being brought into the clear light, and
because, before more hundreds of millions are in
vested in army and navy, a whole lot of dirty linen
in these services should be washed and ironed.
The testimony at San Francisco already dis
closes graft and that men engaged in the extra
hazardous business of aviation have been promoted
or demoted as a matter of favoritism.
Intelligent men will not go into the navy or
army when their careers and lives are at the mercy
of "pull."
