tice that she has oldened. True. she
has somewhat expanded in body as
well as in spirit, and we caught a
glimpse of silver thread or two
just below her hatbrim, but her eyes
are as bright as ever, and she is
prettier than many sixteen-year-
old. We expect the reason for this
is partly that Miss Josie" is welded
to art and hasn't had any provoking
man to take care of all these years.
Miss Josie has been for some time a
resident of Palm Beach, and besides
being an artist has been much inter-
ested in sociological questions. She
was one of the most diligent suffra-
gets in the state and one whom we
can testify is amply competent to
WELD the ballot. Miss Indy came
here to visit the industrial school. We
were glad to see her, and hope she

Some of the Stars friends have
been poking fun at it because it did
not announce that still was recently
found i'm a house belonging to Lou
Green We did not know the house
belonged to Lou until several days
after the distiller had been tried. And
you can bet that Lou didn't know
there was any still there until the Of
ficers found it. We took the report
from the sheriff's Office and the coun-
ty judge, who simply informed us of
the mans arrest, what for and the re-
suit of the trial That is al they ever
tell unless we ask more questions.
Probably our critics will notice we
don't give the names of the landlords

though, we don't think any moonshiner

out several miles northwest of town,

son should be obvious to all people old
enough to vote. As long as man
pays his rent, his landlord is not likely
to go into his house, unless requested
Fact is. landlord has no more right
in a tenants house than any other
man, as long as the tenant pays his
rent and makes no disturbance. Lou
Green hasn't been in the least mercen-
airy about this. moonshine business.
The rent of that one small house
meant little to him. If he had known
his tenant had a still, he would have
notified the officers pronto. And he
would not have cared If his ownership
had been published. If the Star ever.

a house we'll known to be disorderly,

justice to good and law-abiding

Question What do / think of the
senatorial investigation Of the pro-
|jected SIS, 100000 campaign fund ?
you ask me.
Answer From the standpoint of
the defendants it is less like an inyes-
litigation than it is like contest for
the presidency of the Ananias Club.
@. Will Harding comply with Cox's
demand to express himself on the
|slush-fund scandal?
A. Although it is against Senator
Harding's policy to express himself
Iabout anything that has happened
within the memory Of the oldest in
Ihabitant, he stated his views, in a
way, on this subject in speech to a
delegation of his colored brethren
when he told them citizenship is
based on what one gives" boys, get
the money!
@. VIII Harding come off the
porch?
Al. Whether he does or not, he'll
have to come off the perch.
@. What do think of Harding,s
protection theories
A. After a careful perusal of the
criminal code, ! think any protection
policy viii be popular with some OF
THE witnesses in the sIush-fund inves.
litigation
@. VIII the republican committee
be able to gather in all the cream
list?
A. That win depend upon whether
the "boys" can get there ahead of Bill
Barnes cat.

A dispatch from Los Angeles says
that Southern negroes may go in
large number into Southern Califor-
MIA to displace Asiatics. We think
the move viii be good for both the
negroes and California. 1t win be a
good thing for the negroes. and we
think the Californians viii prefer
them to Asiatics as worImen. The
negro is not as good a workman as a
Chinee or Jap. but 500 times out of
a thousand he is 100 per cent Ameri-
can. and what money he makes he
doesn't save to take across the Pa
Ecifc, but spends on the spot. We see
some papers and hear some people
talking about the desirability of ASH
attic labor. We are inocuIating our
selves with leprosy i'm admitting Ash
atics to America, and it viii be very
much better to go to war with them
than allow it to continue. Exclusion
of the Asiatics from America is a
policy on which Southern people and
the people of the Pacific should get
right together. It's their race prob
lem and is more difficult than
