Natural jog

THE real Joys of life come from the
i natural forces or things rightly used.
Artificial joys are never satisfying.
Plain, simple food gives strength and
feeling of citation and power. Foods mixed
to tickle the palate and to make one over
eat leave one with an unsatisfied and dis
tressed feeling. The JOY comes from the
pleasant sensation Of taste. Proper foods
are tasteful, when properly eaten, and
leave one with the glow of health.
The mingling Of men and women in
groups or crowds, with laughter and the
flow of wit and humor, with music and
joyous dancing, leaves an afterglow of
happiness and beautiful memory. These
are the natural outflow of the human
crowd.
The mingling of men and women in
groups and crowds and all vying with each
other to see who can make the most hide
Gus and unnatural noises, pelting each
other with dirty paper or being as near
insulting as the occasion allows, drinking
stuff that will cause an unnatural condi-
ton of the mind, cannot leave an ennobling
feeling or even real joy. These are the
artificial joys and not lasting or satisfy

This Should Be
Seattled at Once

THE question has been brought to the
i attention of the county commission
ers as to whether Ewing Colvin's APP
pointment as successor to Prosecutor
Douglas is legal.
According to those who seem to have
been fooling around with the standings OF
the laws technicalities, the old board of
county commissioners, in appointing Col
vim before Douglas resigned on January
!, exceeded their authority, as no actual
vacancy existed until after that date, and
they failed to reaffirm their action be-
tween January and January II, the day
the old board retired. And so it is legally
up to the new board to appoint a prose-
cutor they say.
Colvin says he isn't worried-that the
appointment will stand.
But it would appear that if there is any
doubt at all that it might be wise idea
to settle the thing definitely-that is, le-
gally-right now.
Colvin, as prosecutor, from now on will

CPONSORS of the plan to place an
~ amendment providing for city man
ager plan of government on the ballots at
the spring election have found it neceS-
sary TO seek an injunction to permit them
TO maintain booth for the receiving of
signatures to their petitions in the Pike
Place market.
In the past sponsors of almost every
kind of initiative or referendum move
have sought signatures to their petitions
in this spot, natural gathering place for
crowds. And there has been no opposi-
ton.
Now, suddenly, it develops that the city
manager plan booth interfereS with traf-

thrown out, with damage to the walls of
the booth.
Even if some politicians fail to recog-
nize any merit in the city manager form
of government, they should at least see TO
it that the sponsors are given ample OPP
portunity to put the question up to the
voters without heckling or other inter
ruption.

JAMES DUPEN is appointed supcrin,

y tendent of the county home by a two
to-one vote of county commissioners.
This in spite of protests 10y many per-
sons, including numbers of Seattle pas
tors, who have made visits at the home,
and of a petition signed by inmates of the
home itself.
The appointment was made while suit
against Dupen, in which former wom-
an employee of the county hospital, where
he worked, charged that Dupen attacked
her. was still pending in the courts,
Dupen ran for the office of county
commissioner from the North district at
the last election. II was in this district
that those who pull the strings were try
ing TO split up the vote among several
candidates.
Is il preSuming to wonder whether the
quick appointment of Dupen, over the
protests of many. and without making
public any derogatory charge against the
incumbent superintendent, wasn't the
payment of n political debt?
The Star doesn't believe politics should
be played in connection with an office
that so vitally concerns the health and
happiness of this countys unfortunate old
