Feeling between the government ana

government dismissed few officers who

The Star glad to that President Short of the
State Federation of Labor and other leaders of his
type beginning to assert themselves in the Seattle
aggressive assistance of such men, and too that it
needs the sanity and stabiizing guidance that only
these leaders can give it.
In the one test within labor during the year. Presi-
dent Short and his principles ndorsed This test
at the Bellingham convention gave Mr. Short, be-
ieve, an advantage or better, opportunity which
to large extent he neglected. Had he and his type
of leaders been aggressive perhaps the present
situation could have been avoided.
The Seattle public must know that Seattle labor at
heart is not the all too arrogant thing that has posed
for it during the past year. Despite the claims and the
charges of certain papers the REAL labor movement
is not in bad with the public Only the drect-action
faction of labor is in bad.
The Star believes the people of this city as whole
will take for granted the honesty and the loyalty OF
majority of union men. The people are, however, I'M
patent-and rightly so-Over the naction OF the ma
jority and the naction and lack of aggressive
ness shown by such leaders as Mr.. Short.

For Seattle, the year 1919 has been of hysteria
"a grand time for hysterical minds - the lunatic
fringe" 1t has been period demanding adjustments
and readjustments-a period in which every organi-
zation and every institution needed careful and con-
servative Leadership and management. Hysterical
minds never adjust anything. They upset, tear down
and generally mess-up everything.
Now this hysteria has shown itself in varying de-

any other class or of any political party and it
will play false to all the people by playing the narrow,
bigOted, biased role as somebody's organ. Right or
wrong, organ newspaper MUST be for it's clique or
party. Consequently people whole seldom believe
the organ even when it is truthful.
The STAR far cliques factions parties, classes,
1t is its own boss; its own master. The Star aims to
give everybody every organization and every class
fair square deal But always The Star is to be the
sole Judge of what is fair To have it otherwise would
mean to surrender its independence right of de-
cision.
If in the long run The Stars idea or Judgment Of
what is fair is wrong biased then the general pub
lie will exact the penalty. The STAR wanting to be fair
to all men, and having no motives, no connections, no
obligations to sway it, should really be able to be fair
most of the time.
In the past we have been misudged damned and
stabbed in the back by labor just often but no
more so than by other factions. We don't expect any
thing different in the future. We hope to be RIGHT
MOST OF THE TIME but we also expect to make our
share of mistakes
1t has been fashion of Seattle papers of late pro-
mulgate platforms-to tell where they stand, and so
forth 1t has always seemed to The Star that the
readers of a paper know exactly where it stands,
where and when it wobbles where, when and why it
lies down. Therefore The Star, if wanted to, would
not expect to deceive anybody. You readers of The
Star know where it stands and Judging it by it's
ord you can Judge with certainty where it will stand
in the future.
Just so the public knows where labor stands, where
it is wrong and where it is right The public has dem
onstrated it's confidence in labor on countless oc-
casons during the past of years. Wherever and
whenever The Star has conducted campaign for the
general welfare The Star has had the support of the
general pubc-and always good part of that gen
eral public consisted of labor 1t will be so in the fu
ture The pubcs confidence in labor, built it has
been on solid foundation cannot be swept away by
ruthless unreasoning policy.
Today the public is just as ready ever to stand
with labor IF LABOR WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE
But it is up to labor, and there is where President
Shorts opportunity and duty come in.
The public is patient fair and tolerant. Also the
public is stern exactng and unrelenting The public
is unafraid It can't be brbed bunked 1t is Judge
and jury combined 1t is the court of last resort 1t
is our one big boss.

Put the Reds out Of the country,

camps as dangerous aliens are prov.

Attorney General Palmer. The
House has already passed the bill
to send them out Of the country,
but action has been delayed in The
Senate. Unless the pending bill is
passed before the peace treaty Is rat
ihed all of these undertakes will
have to be turned loose. The At
torney General is determined that
this shall not come to pass. The
bill in question provides for the de-
portation of all aliens interned dur

who violated the espionage act, the
draft law and similar laws. ANY
alien known to have made threat
against the President of the United
States is also subject to deportation,
