In making this suggestion The Star is aware
that the official personnel of the chamber In
cudes many men of the highest standing in the
community-men whom The Star respects and
whom the entire city respects. But under ex-
listing conditions these able, earnest men are
prevented from serving Seattle as they would
like to do. In new election some OF these men
should, and doubtless would, be reelected. But,
lacking public support, the board, as now con-
stituted, is only detriment to civic progress.
There are many functions the chamber alone
can fulfill. Its work is essentialif Seattleis to
grow. The national advertising campaign, the
tourist program, the state development work,
part,of the chambers Alaska activities, part of
its Washington, D. c., work, its Pacific North
west Products campaign-all these are con-
structive, necessary endeavors that should be
carried out in a big, broad-gauge way.
The quarter-million budget, which the
chamber has failed to raise, is really too small.
Seattle's competitors ape spending proportion
ately much larger sums. Public confidence in
the chamber must be restored, an adequate sum
raised and its wise expenditure carried on.
The Star pledges itself to support strongly in
the future, as it has in the past, every construc
tive effort the chamber undertakes. In this
campaign just closed Thea Star increased its
money subscription, and it stands ready to put
its shoulder to the wheel in other ways.
But we must have the whole community
working TOGETHER. And that can only be
procured thru new deal, new directing per-
sonnet. Mr.. Waterhouse probably never again
will have an opportunity to do so big thing for
Seattle as he has at this moment His resigna-
ton and blanket resignation of his whole
board, followed by an election democratically
conducted, would recruit the whole city for
new birth of the old Seattle spirit--a new era
of unified forward effort.
Gentlemen of the official board Of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, are
you big enough to forget your personal
feelings and step out for the good of
your city?

membership situation today is higl
These are not pleasant facts to record
But they are FACTS. Seattle must face
them.
Now, as a means of meeting the criti-
cal situation, the officers propose to dis
miss large proportion of the salaried
staff and greatly curtail the chambers
activities
That is exactly what the chamber
ought NOT to do
This is no time for slackening down in
constructive work. This is no time to
stop advancing Seattle's commercial in
terests. This is a time to go ahead, to
do community teamwork, to revive the
old-time Seattle spirit, to don the seven
league boots of progress.
And that, The Star feels today,
makes necessary a reorganization of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Not
mere dismissal of some salaried secre-
taries, but fundamental reconstruc-
ton of the whole institution. Not
slump backward, but big move for
ward.
Last winter the chamber lost the con-
llQCiiSG VI pcOplc dI large III llllS COll-
munity when it allowed itself to be used
in opposition to the public interests,
when it tried to block the plan of port
development and turn the immensely
valuable u. S. shipping board site into
private hands for private exploitation.
Then, in face of the rising tide of dis
satisfaction, as it continued its efforts in
the spring election to undermine the
Port of Seattle and hamper its develop
ment, it forfeited general public respect
entirely. It's leadership was entirely re-
pudiated by King county voters.
But that is not all The thoro canvass of the
business community that has just been complet-
ed by trustees and members has shown conclu-
sively that the chamber, as now controlled, has
also lost the confidence and the support of man
ufacturels merchants and other business men.
They refuse flatly to furnish the money for car
rying it on. The soliciting committees report a
widespread distrust of the governing group.
1t has been suggested before that MI. Water
house should resign as president. But, thru the
il-advised guidance of his friends, he hung on.
In light of the Reputation of the chamber by
the people at the polls and now by the business
men, The Star does not see how Mr.. Water
house can longer withhold his resignation. His
ardent supporters have referred to him as a
Napoleon Of business. However, Napoleon him
self could have accomplished no victories with
out the loyal support of his entire army.
But so sick child is the Seattle cham
Der today that Mr.. Warehouses; retire
ment alone will not cure the illness. The
chamber needs a complete, steln-to-
stern reorganization.
The Star believes that every officer
and trustee should resign at once and
that an election in which new group
representative of the,whole city can be
chosen ought to be held.

THE REPUBLICANS
WILL LOSE A VOTE
ELEVATION OF COOLIDGE
CUTS DOWN MAJORITY
IN THE SENATE.

The republican organization in the
senate will lose vote during the next
congress through the death of Presi-
dent Harding, a vote which many
party leaders thought might be nee
essary to save the control of that par
ty over matters of legislation.
Now that the office of vice presi-
dent is no longer filled it will be nee
essary for the senate to select from
its own membership presiding Off
Ger, who as a senator would cast his
vote on roll calls. While the vice pres
ident, as presiding officer, never par
ticipated in debate he was required by
the constitution to break any tie votes.
With the republican majority in the
senate reduced almost to the vanish
ing point and with threatened new
alignments of republican senators the
Importance of the vice presidents vote
took on new proportions.
Who will be chosen as presiding
officer of the senate cannot be fore
cast. Senator Cummins, of Iowa, was
selected by his colleagues during the
last session to preside in the absence
of Vice President Coolidge, but he
has indicated a desire to be relieved
of the duties to enable him to give
more time to his duties as chairman
of the interstate commerce commits
sion.

Am ERICANS ARE
DRINKING POISON
GET ONLY ONE PER CENT
OF REAL WHISKY. FOUR
SOURCES OF SUPPLY.

Rank poison" is what agents of
the prohibition bureau of the United
States say of the "booze" being i'm
bibed by the American people.
After analysis of $4,000 samples of
so-called whisky the bureau finds that
only one per cent of it was real stuff.
The rest was poison.
The liquor supply of this, country
comes from four sources, agents say.
The first and biggest supply is known
as "moonshine," and which is made
one day and drank the next.
Distilled in thickets, fields and barns
the containers are seldom cleaned and
always have some poisonous matter
left in them, which is brewed into
the next batch.
The second source of supply is the
redistil1ed denatured alcohol, always
containing a quantity Of wood alco-
ho1. The third are smuggled goods,
and the fourth is liquor illegally with
drawn from bonded warehouses.
These two latter sources furnish the
minimum supply.

9O3 SETS OF TWINS
BORN IN GEORGIA
ALL BUT SEVEN COUNTIES IN
STATE REPORT PLURAL
BIRTHS. INTERESTING.

Nine sets of triplets and 903 sets
of twins were born in Georgia in
1922, as shown by the birth records
of the state bureau of vital statistics.
The last report of the census bureau
shows a rate for the birth registra-
ton area of III for 1920, while Geor-
gia's rate for 1922 was 1871 per 1000
births. The leading states, according
to this census report, were South Car
DINA with 1913, North Carolina with
144, Virginia AL, Minneapolis Is,
Utah II, with the other states show
ing a decline rate to as low as 3.8 in
Vermont Georgia's rate for 1922 was
49, and if the two years be compar-
ed, Georgia has the fourth highest
plural rate in the United States.
OF the twins 533 sets were white
and 800 negroes. Three sets of trip
lets were white and six negro. The
plural birth rate among the whites
was 113 and negroes 14.7 1000 births.
OF the twins $50 were boys and 874
girls, showing 1904 boys to 1000
girls, while the total birth record
shows 1858 boys to 1000 girls. OF
the triplets, IL were girls and 10 boys.
The nine sets of triplets were re-
ported from Baldwin, Campbell, Cow
eta, Fannin, Fulton, Houston, Lau
rens, Lowndes and Mitchell counties.
Twins were reported from all the
100 counties in the state except seven:
Bacon, Chattahoochee, Lee, Long,
Lumpkip, Quitman and White.

DIPLOMATS ABROAD MUST PAY HEAVILY
TO ENTERTAIN THE KINGS OF EUROPE

The pomp OF European courts has
not decreased noticeably since the
war, according to reports of American
diplomats to- the state department.
American ambassadors are continuing
their complaints of inadequate salaries
to meet the heavy drain of social en-
tertainment, and are citing postwar
troubles of entertaining royalty at
functions which equal or surpass the
gilded affairs of pre-war days in Eu-
rope.
For instance, the state dinner given
recently by George Harvey, Ameri-
can ambassador to the court of St.
James, to the British royal family
set back the American envoy some
thing over S8,000-for one dinner and
trimmings. In fact, the trimmings
constituted large part of the bill,
which contained an item of $3.50 alone
for palms and ferns given standing
room in the freplaces of the Ameri-
can embassy for the occasion.
Tradesmen holding the royal favor
have to be reckoned with in the en-
tertainment provided by American
diplomats. The caterers are virtually
chosen for the American entertainer
by the lord chamberlain of the royal
palace, no unknown or plebeian chefs
being PERMITTED to cook for or serve
the king or queen. Decorators, for

INSANITY INCREASE
is BLAMED ON AUTO
MISSOURI STATE HOSPITAL
FLOODED, WITH 80 TO IS
ADMISSIONS MONTHLY.

FULTON, Mo.-Despite the fact
that the last census figures show the
population of Missouri is decreasing
the rate of insanity is increasing by
leaps and bounds. Missouri has four
insanes hospitals and they are becom-
ing badly crowded. In the district
served by the Fulton State hospital,
which includes Kansas City, the sec
ond largest city in the state, the in
crease of insane persons has been
startling.
Ten years ago, when DR. M. 0.
Biggs took charge as superintendent
of the local hospital, there were 8o7
patients. and today there are ,444 and
news ones coming in every day. Ten
years ago 10 or IL patients were re-
ceived on an average each month,
while now the average is between So
and IS and with prospects that the
average will be increased in the next
year.
Purchases Cause Worry.
DR.. Biggs ascribes the great in
crease in insanity to the reckless pur-
chase of motor cars, which leaves
many persons in financial straits and
causes them to worry about their
debts; narcotics and moonshine. The
records and history of many OF the
patients in the last two years show
their minds were wrecked by indulg-
ence in bad liquor and drugs.

having the royal approval also must
be selected by the American host and
their word, as well as their bills, go
a long way in directing the function.
Entertainment occasionally of the
rulers of the nations to which they
are accredited is an unacceptable duty
of American diplomats, who are pro-
vided with no entertainment fund to
cover the costs of food and service.
A few are wealthy enough to bear
extraordinary expenditures for social
entertainment, but the poorer ones
say that the war has not toned down
the "class" of the required social du-
ties
The higher standing abroad of the
American dollar is said to help some
in bearing the expense, but in many
cases local tradesmen add to their

can" diplomats more than sufficient
