Before the new board of county commissioners
take seats the first of the year, The Star wants
to recall for their benefit some facts in regard
to King countys public welfare work.
In April, 1918, embezzlements and graft in
the charity department became an open scandal,
which threatened the political future of the
county administration. An official was tried
and convicted; a housekeeping was agreed
upon.
Josiah Collins, successful business man, was
asked to take charge; he accepted on the stipu-
lation that he should be entirely free from polit-
ical strings during his incumbsncy
Mr. Collins found IL employees on the charity
department payroll, dispensing clothing fuel,
groceries, rent and shoes to the poor. He imme-
diately reduced the staff to six and later to five
persons. 1t is still five.

Dear japan.
In these latter times you have sent
large numbers OF your youth 10 the
countries OF tho white man TO DO edu-
Gated.
You have adopted tho machines,
machinery and other inventions OF
the white man for tho upbuilding OF
your manufacturing industries
You have built railroads. telegraph
and telephone lines. merchant ships.
nen-of-war, atrships. all on tho
models OF the white man.
You engaged the services OF the
white men to organize and train an
army equipped with tho munitions
Of war devised by the white man.
Your people are marvellous imlta-
tors. but have invented nothing Of
large world-importance. Your peo-
pie are shrewd and crafty. and have
said In their hearts. and sometimes
openly. that the average white man
Is fool and can be hoodwinked. We
shall seei
Now some Of your people persist
In invading n country discovered,
settled and improved by the white
man. and uniawfully appropriating
10 their own use some Of his most
fertile acres.
And now the white man has be-
come weary OF these your people fol-
lowing him about and claiming tho
right 10 share In the fruits OF his
discoveries. his improvements and
the markets which he alone created.
And we think II would be wise n
these your people would return 10
their native country and there re-
main.
Your people claim 20 be proud
people, II II not pride. but an ego
tistic self-conceit. The Justly proud
man stands dlgnifiedly aloof from
those who want not his presence. To
do otherwise would create an en-
barrassing situation--as II has.
Kindly.

Keep County Welfare Work Out of Politics

And this all at saving of more than $4,000
as compared with 1918. Graft, petty politics
and inefficiency seem to have been thoroly elm
mated.
Now, The Star Is informed, the new board Of
commissioners is proposing to replace Mr.. Col
Inns so that the county institutions can once
again be made political pawns. The Star does
not know whether Mr.. Collins wishes to con-
tinue in his present position or not but The
Star does know that somebody of his caliber
and of his firm determination TO run the de-
partment on the same basis Of efficiency, hon
esty and indifference to politics SHOULD
HEAD THAT DEPARTMENT.
The Star counsels the incoming commissioners
to think very seriously before they get away from
that policy.

fitted from the change. II and the crematory are
now operated under one joint management with

as matron Of the home. A sunroom for the old
women, a ounging room for the men, several
dormitories and other improvements were pro-
vided Much re-plumbing and overhauling was
done. The capacity of the home was increased
from 1870 to 175. This work was all accom-
plished out of the regular appropriations, with
no additional cost to the county.

stammer, answered.
