The attention of many of Seattle's well known citizens was called to the editorial. They were asked whether they agreed with the opinions voiced therein. Sev«nl of them responded. Most of them indorsed The Star's statement of the Sit- uation. . . A . The important thing, however, is that this discussion of preparedness has de- veloped the fact that we all are doing a lot of thinking on the subject. Several men who did not care to set their opinions down in writing (you would be surprised if we told you who they are) dropped into tht office during the past few days to talk the matter over informally with the editor. It is interesting to know what our neighbors believe ought to be done just as interesting, we think, and probably more so, than the information from Washington, D. C., as to what our sen- ators and congressmen say on the sub- ject. The Star hopes any other of its read- ers who have ideas, pro or con, on the all-important question of whether the United States should prepare a defense, and, if so, what sort of a defense it shall be, will write us about it. Keep your letters brief, please, and to the point. Squelched One Liar A SO-CALLED "responsible citiien" having wired a United States senator that several thousand Carranza soldiers were being congregated at Agua Prieta, opposite Douglas, and were erect- ing barb-wire entanglements and digging trenches just a rifle shot from the Ameri- can town, Gen. Calles invited the sheriff of Cochise county to visit all the camps across the line an<f see for himself. The sheriff and a committee of Doug- las citizens having done so, they report that the sensational story was entirely without foundation. That there are no wire entanglements and no trenches and that the Mexican garrisons along the line are only normally strong. Gen. Calles took th« best and most sensible way of reassur- ing the Douglas people. In return, the Douglas folk* ought to brand that "respon- sible citizen" as an Ananias of the first water and convey a gentle hint that any more activities of that nature would put him in the "undesirable citizen" class. FS»MIIHfF Wf Th» aiar r.,». Mitu "? fhon# MftU MM Why Nonparti«an»hip? THF.RK never has been a momentous question in the life of this nation \hat was decided on a partisan basis. That is why all logic and reason should welcome the nonpartisan idea Today we have the great Issue of preparedness. It is the most important before the American people. It is not a question for republican- Americans to decide, or democratic- Americans. It is an unhyphenated, non- partisan issue on which Americans, with- out prefix or suffix, must declare them- selves. it was the same on the slavery ques- tion. The republican party platform upon which Abraham Lincoln was nominated and elected in 18<0. DID NOT declare for the abolition of slavery. That was accomplished as an incident of the civil war and was a nonpartisan act supported by the whole of the North?by republi- cans and democrats alike. All great movements, all great prin- ciples, are not subject to partisan limita- tions. Partisanship fetters, binds and gags. Partisanship makes men lose their per- spective and causes them to sacrifice pa- triotism and love of country for spoils and love of party power. Partisanship makes for dirty politics. There is not one city in the United States today that has adopted the nonpartisan plan which would even consider a propo- rtion to return to the old idea. We have abolished partisanship in the election of city officials in Seattle, Ta- comi, Spokane, and every large city In this state. WHY NOT ABOLISH IT IN COUNTY OFFICES AND STATE OFFICES? We ilo not consider it wise to elect our judges on a partisan basis, as re- publicans, dem>*rats, socialists, etc The judiciary is not partisan. Why should our legislative and ex- ecutive departments be more sacred and more subject to party bossism? Republicans as well as democrats are clamoring for a national nonpartisan tariff board. Why not also a nonpartisan board of county commissioners? We have a nonpartisan interstate com- merce commission. Why not a nonpartisan governor to ap- point a nonpartisan public service com- mission? Travesty, All Right THE courts are quashing those Youngs- town indictments against the steel cor- porations. * Some of the indictments are too "uncertain and indefinite"; some just quash of their own feebleness. When any corporation is punished for conspiring to keep wages low, wake us! Didn't Judge Gary, at the very start, describe those indictments as a "ridicul- ous travesty"? The State-wide N'onpartisanship league, with headquarters in Seattle, is entitled to all the help it can get from fair- minded men and women. It expects no aid from political tools and special priv- ilege corporations. Its fund to carry on this campaign is to come from its mem- bers. Its cause is worthy and membership in it should he a privilege and an honor in the struggle to emancipate this great state from party slavery.

Seattle It ThinkingBy the Editor of The Star
AWKEK ago today The Star publishedan editorial setting forth, in con-
siderable detail, its views on prepared-ness.
The attention of many of Seattle'swell known citizens was called to the
editorial. They were asked whether they
agreed with the opinions voiced therein.
Sev«nl of them responded. Most of them
indorsed The Star's statement of the Sit-
uation. . . A.
The important thing, however, is that
this discussion of preparedness has de-
veloped the fact that we all are doing a
lot of thinking on the subject.Several men who did not care to set
their opinions down in writing (youwould be surprised if we told you whothey are) dropped into tht office during
the past few days to talk the matter
over informally with the editor.It is interesting to know what our
neighbors believe ought to be done justas interesting, we think, and probablymore so, than the information fromWashington, D. C., as to what our sen-
ators and congressmen say on the sub-
ject.The Star hopes any other of its read-
ers who have ideas, pro or con, on theall-important question of whether theUnited States should prepare a defense,
and, if so, what sort of a defense it shallbe, will write us about it.
Keep your letters brief, please, and to
the point.
Squelched One Liar
A SO-CALLED "responsible citiien"having wired a United States
senator that several thousand Carranzasoldiers were being congregated at AguaPrieta, opposite Douglas, and were erect-ing barb-wire entanglements and diggingtrenches just a rifle shot from the Ameri-can town, Gen. Calles invited the sheriffof Cochise county to visit all the campsacross the line an<f see for himself.
The sheriff and a committee of Doug-las citizens having done so, they reportthat the sensational story was entirelywithout foundation. That there are nowire entanglements and no trenches andthat the Mexican garrisons along the lineare only normally strong. Gen. Calles tookth« best and most sensible way of reassur-ing the Douglas people. In return, theDouglas folk* ought to brand that "respon-sible citizen" as an Ananias of the firstwater and convey a gentle hint that anymore activities of that nature would puthim in the "undesirable citizen" class.

Why Nonparti«an»hip?
THF.RK never has been a momentousquestion in the life of this nation
\hat was decided on a partisan basis.
That is why all logic and reason should
welcome the nonpartisan ideaToday we have the great Issue of
preparedness. It is the most important
before the American people.
It is not a question for republican-Americans to decide, or democratic-Americans. It is an unhyphenated, non-
partisan issue on which Americans, with-
out prefix or suffix, must declare them-
selves.it was the same on the slavery ques-
tion.The republican party platform upon
which Abraham Lincoln was nominatedand elected in 18<0. DID NOT declarefor the abolition of slavery. That wasaccomplished as an incident of the civilwar and was a nonpartisan act supportedby the whole of the North?by republi-cans and democrats alike.
All great movements, all great prin-ciples, are not subject to partisan limita-tions. Partisanship fetters, binds and
gags.Partisanship makes men lose their per-
spective and causes them to sacrifice pa-triotism and love of country for spoils andlove of party power.
Partisanship makes for dirty politics.There is not one city in the United Statestoday that has adopted the nonpartisanplan which would even consider a propo-rtion to return to the old idea.
We have abolished partisanship in theelection of city officials in Seattle, Ta-comi, Spokane, and every large city Inthis state.
WHY NOT ABOLISH IT INCOUNTY OFFICES AND STATEOFFICES?
We ilo not consider it wise to electour judges on a partisan basis, as re-publicans, dem>*rats, socialists, etc Thejudiciary is not partisan.
Why should our legislative and ex-ecutive departments be more sacred andmore subject to party bossism?
Republicans as well as democrats areclamoring for a national nonpartisantariff board.
Why not also a nonpartisan board ofcounty commissioners?
We have a nonpartisan interstate com-merce commission.
Why not a nonpartisan governor to ap-point a nonpartisan public service com-mission?
Travesty, AllRight
THE courts are quashing those Youngs-town indictments against the steel cor-
porations. * Some of the indictments aretoo "uncertain and indefinite"; some justquash of their own feebleness.
When any corporation is punished forconspiring to keep wages low, wake us!
Didn't Judge Gary, at the very start,describe those indictments as a "ridicul-ous travesty"?
The State-wide N'onpartisanship league,with headquarters in Seattle, is entitledto all the help it can get from fair-minded men and women. It expects noaid from political tools and special priv-ilege corporations. Its fund to carry onthis campaign is to come from its mem-bers.
Its cause is worthy and membershipin it should he a privilege and an honorin the struggle to emancipate this greatstate from party slavery.

"Why. why! why!" aha cried Increacendo. "Who are you?"
Janaan't heart became lata buoy-ant aa be Helmed. Thla young

For answer to her question of

Th* young woman aroa* fromtha bench before the hlaza, pickedup tha nota. and read It In tba firelight.
