Items Coming Too Late.

During the past two weeks there have been nine envelopes of corres- pondsnce that have come in after The Star was printed-among these the items of some of our very best writers and from some of the most important points in the county. High water probably caused some of this trouble, and carelessness some of it. This always is source of deep regret and 1t is to be hoped there will be less such in the future. All items must be in not later than Wednesday morning. .- Editor

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1910-10-07

Now that it has been decided that the investigation
of the police affairs of the city of Seattle is to be with
open doors and that the chief is to be represented bv
counsel the committee should lay down the rule in the
outset that in view of the fact that the chief is
not being tried on criminal charge and that if found
guilty 1t will only mean his discharge from the public
service and not deprive him of either his life or ber-
ty that technicaes must be cut out on the part of
the attorneys. If the evidence seem to point to the
probable guilt of the official though it could not
be proven, to the satisfaction of Judge and Jury the
official should be dismissed, for such suspicious des
troys the usefulness of the official as we'll as casts obi
UNI on the administration responsible for his actions
The people must be satisfied or they will rebel and the
chief executive that does not keep his ear to the
ground to catch what the people are murmuring for
will find himself out of job at the first opportunity
the people get to register their objections to him.

Thomas D. Page brother-in-law of Miles Poindex-
ter the nominee of the Republican party for United
States SENATOR and who it has been given out is to
handle the federal patronage of Western Washington,
is again IN legal entar clements he being charged with
having taken an undue advantage of a client How
much truth there is in the allegation is hard to say at
this writing, but after listening to the mans story
Judge Ronald thought it warranted consideration by
the bar association and so j. c. Higgins was sent for
After Mr. Higgins had listened to the story, he too,
came to the conclusion that it warranted investga-
ton by the bar association, and an investigation is
therefore on tap. Tom Page is always in some kind
of ENHANCEMENT and later he is going to get
it good and hard. 1t may not be now or tomorrow,
but it is coming.

Portugal has gone Republican but it has cost the
country good many lives and the destruction of
great deal of valuable property to turn the trick
Surely this is off year for Repubicanism But in
Portugal going Republican new form of government
was born to that country and instead of kingdom
republic is in vogue King Manuel and his court have
fled and under the protection of the British
flag, while the rebels hold high carnival in the royal
palace. Everything seems to point to a similar coupe
detat being pulled off in the very near future in Spain
Both the Spanish and Portuguese governments have
been ripe for revolution for the past two years and the
spirit of rebellion has lain smodering for months only
awaiting for man of nerve to apply the torch
and off she goes. Portugal rebels have done
their stunt and those of Spain are daily if not hourly
expected to do theirs.
