Dexter Avenue Project Urgent
Again the Dexter ave, extension project comes before
the city council. A public hearing on this important im
provement will be lreld by the streets and sewers com
mittee Thursday afternoon. . ;
The Star has always advocated the construction of a
new arterial highway to relieve the traffic congestion on
Westlake ave. The people living north of Lake Union
are entitled to an easier means of getting to the down
town district.
Politics is largely responsible for the delay in approv
ing the Dexter ave, project. It is to be hoped that the
council will at last see the light of reason, and construct
this much-needed highway before its cost is prohibitive,

Al Lasker's Last Luxury
Al Lasker, retiring head of the U. S. shipping board,
“world's greatest salesman,” is going out _*.’f office in a
blaze of glory. In fact, Al's "swan song bids fair to
rank with the most costly peace-time luxuries ever
charged to the public purse of any people.
Froissart, that quaint chronicler of the 16th ccntury,
tells us that the wildest of all medieval royal orgies,
“The Field of the Cloth of Gold,” cost the monarchies of
Francis 1 of France and Henry VIII of England more
than a million dollars! _
Belshazzer gave a feast to a thousand of his lords, but

Belshazzar's dinner cost the taxpayers of Babylon,
Estimates now made of Al Lasker’s joy ride of the
Leviathan, which will sail from Boston June 19 for a six
days' “colorful cruise in the cerulean Caribbean,” with
600 of Al's friends on hoard, will cost the taxpayers of
the United States some $2,000,000. 3
That is two-thirds the cost of the Lincoln monument!
One way and another “Al” has been a mighty costly
Juxury to the plain people of his country. We don’t know
now much the total deficits of the shipping board have
been because we haven't discovered any two accountants
who can agree, but it runs into the hundred millions—
everybody, even Al, admits that much.
But now he is going to quit with one grand and ex
pensive final flourish. He says so, and we are bound to
take a gentleman’s word and believe him.
Let us trust that Al will not change his mind, as he
has so often done in the past. We have nothing against
Al personally, but, by George he's too blamed expensive.
Two million is a lot of jack, but as Al has himself so
often hicidly explained: “You can’t get first-class men
unless you pay 'em.” ' But if Al is going to disconnect
himself for good from the public treasury, maybe this
last two million drop in the bucket is worth it,

Everyone interested in Seattle should attend the ex

COMPANIONS
By Berton Braley
GOOD friends, whose magic fills me
With tales of every kind,
Whose cheer or pathos thrills me
And stimulates my mind;
Who lead me in my roaming
To lands beyond my ken,
Then bring me blithely homing
Again;
KEE.\' friends, who uiiko nta savor
Of wonder and romance, :
Who make my spirit braver
Amid the thrall of chance;
Who yirn of sword and saber,
Broad seas, great skies above,
Of battle, play and labor,
And love;
TRUE friends, when days are sunny
Or dark as they can be,
Who do not borrow money Z
Or drag me out to tea; :
Wise friends, who gird and arm me
Against fate's hooks and erooks,
Here's to these friends who charm me,
My books! .
