Editor The star: In writing
this | am not only voiclng my own

Your paper prints all OF the
news that the other Seattle papers

others.
Your war reports are fair aud

In Everett True we find a sound
moral that Is true TO everyday life.

faults which appear in our own

FIGHTS FOR UNDER DOG

Editor The Star: We have read
The Star for more than ten years
and We like II for several reasons.
First. because II is always work.
Ing for better conditions and try
ing to do the greatest good for the
greatest number Of people.
Second. because II puts ND
good fight for the under dog. The
Star sometimes makes mistakes
because II is human. which is an
other reason we like IT,
The editorials are humane and
far-reaching.
Cynthia Grey Is a grand woman,
and her column cannot help bene-
fitting every one who reads II.
The Confessions OF Wife" are
interesting and helpful. especially
10 those Just setting sail on the sea
of matrimony.
We miss Berton Braley. and we
sure enjoy Diana, Oscar and
Adolph and Everett True.
The only thing we don't Ike
about The Star Is the fact that II
Is only printed six times a week.

Editor The Star: am a con.

paper very well. but there is some.
thing about all the Seattle papers

medicine ads. hair dyes, fake cloth.
