JUST PLAIN LIES

IT HE interests opposing the ports public belt

miSSioners at Saturdays election have deliber-
ately lied to the voters.
The Star has spiked more than one of their
lies.
TODAY THE STAR SPIKES ANOTHER.
The kept newspapers OF Seattle have been
telling their readers that belt line isn't neceS-
Sary, hcauSe all the railroad franchises on the
water front have common-uSer clause. and that
any rival railroad, or any new railroad desiring
TO gain terminal facilities here, may run It's cars
over the present tracks
good argument, is il not?
All that's wrong with il is that il is a DOWN.
RIGHT LIE.
James E. Bradford, corporation counsel for the
city, and c. j. France, counsel for the port of
Seattle, today give out the following statement:
"To the Electors of the Port of Sc
attic: We understand that in discuss
ing the Belt Line railway, which will
be voted upon by tie electors of the
Port of Seattle on December 4, 1915,
the statement has been made that all
franchises within he City of Seattle
granted by the city to the railroads
contain common-user clauses. We
have checked over all the franchises
granted by the city and find that there
are at present SO such franchises in
force. Thirty-three of these contain
no common-user clause"
The way to defeat the purpose of these in
terests that are lying to you in their efforts to
gain control of the port commission is to vote
for c. E. Remsberg and c. A. Ewald, and for all
five of the propositions submitted on the port
ballot.

PAINT THE LAWN GREEN
DIR. HAYTER WOULD CONCRETE
SURFACE AND APPLY COLOR.
Artificial Flowers Would Answer
Purpose of Fragrant Roses, and
Prove Everlasting

As Judge Teal and Commissioner
Beckett stood in the center OF the
court house lawn yesterday morning,
silently and thoughtfully gazing upon
the unsatisfactory condition OF the
greensward, representative OF The
Observer stealthily approached with
a hope of gaining some inside infor-
nation regarding the courts inten-
tions for future betterment, and dis
covered that Judge Teal is consider
ing the advisability of acting upon
Or. Hayter's suggestion relative to
keeping the lawn green throughout
the summer season. The doctor,
while discussing the matter with the
head of the governing body, recon-
mended that a concrete surface be
placed upon the square, that that sur
face be painted green, and that IN
stead of employing a man to prune
and manicure, few artificial rose
bushes be set out. This would, no
doubt, have the desired effect, but
it might be still more economical for
the court to purchase a carload of
green goggles and present pair to
each resident who is worried over the
manner in which the lawn is kept.

paper and the only thing that disturbs
him is a call three times a day to a
banquet Of mince pies and other lux
uries. 1t is a mistake. The indus
trious farmer begins work long be-
fore the sun thinks of getting up.
With his soul shrouded in gloom he
proceeds to build a fire and soften
his boots with a sledge hammer. He
then takes lantern and wades out
to the barn and feeds the hogs. 1t
is then time to feed the newly arrived
calf, which seems to delight in butt
ing a pail of milk over the tiller Of
the soil. He crawls through a barb
wire fence and digs the carrots out
of the snow, feeds the cows, cleans
the stable, gathers up the frozen
chicks, chases stray pig worth 20
cents for four miles, and does not
catch it, doctors a sick horse, freezes
his fingers, gets kicked by one-eyed
mule, and when the cleaning comes
and quietness broods over the earth,
he has a single half hour to mediate
and wonder how he will pay his tax
es. -

A peculiar characteristic about birds
is that the young Of those that build
nests in trees are blind when hatched,
are naked. unable to walk and are fed
by the parent bird. Among the wad-
ing birds the young can walk. swim
and pick up food Immediately upon
leaving the egg. With birds, as with
higher animals, the females seem to
fancy bright colors and music; hence
Mother Nature usually ornaments the
head, neck and tails of the males that
they may find mates more readily. The
male birds usually excel in music also.

A statement made to The Sheridan

an economic necessity. The fees alone

go a long way toward making a free

rope is not in sight. On the contrary
within the next few months the war
between the Allies and the Teutons
will be waged more vigorously than
at any time since hostilities began
and Great Britain and France will
make their supreme effort to conquer
Germany.
This information comes from the
highest authority. There can be no
question of its accuracy. In state
ments shortly to be made in France,
Russia, Great Britain and Italy the
world will be informed that the war
is to 20 on.
Allies Wouldn't Accept Peace.
Diplomatic representatives Of the
Allies in Washington are receiving
definite information as to the plans
Of their respective governments, and
they vouch for the statement that
any offer Of peace terms that Ger.
many would make at this time would
be rejected.
Moreover, it was learned that Pres
ident Wilson, whose good Offices GER
tainly would be used in conjunction
with an effort toward peace whether
the original steps were taken through
the Vatican, the King Of Spain or an
other neutral country, such as Swift
zerland, is convinced that the rumori
Of peace are wholly premature anC
