Pr oblems ital
to Seattle
EDITORIAL
EDITORIAL

THERE are two menaces in Seattle that
threaten its health and its prosperity. One
is the dumping of sewage into Lake Wash
ington; the other is the foul water of Green
lake. Both are matters that demand immed-
ate attention, and the best heads of the city
should concentrate now in determined effort
to solve both problems
The Star would much rather devote its editor
ia space to the exploitation of those things that
make this Charmed Land in fact, as well as in
name. But The Star realizes Seattle cannot re-
tain its charms without constant vigilance
1t would be much easier and more pleasant
for us to disregard unpleasant problems and
sail sereney along in this beautiful summer
weather
But when we're sick, it is up to us to obtain
proper treatment. The best treatment of the
two particular ills Seattle is stricken with right
now is publicity
The Star is going to provide that publicity,
and if it hits city officials who have been or are
lax in their duty, they will have to take the con-
sequences These two situations are too serious
to permit of indifference and procrastination.'
Two of Seattle's most beautiful home sections
and bathing beaches face real danger. Every
days delay adds nausea to the disgusting
stencil.
