Not Politics.
But Progress!
EDITORIAL

This newspaper championed the cause of port
commission.
When the fight was bitterest, it fought hard and
long to help make the port actually.
1t is interested in seeing the port attain the
success which it deserves. 1t believes that interest
is far more important and vital than the success
failure of any political candidate.
That is why The Star decries such move as Prose-
cutor Colvn made Saturday when he declared
II will make decision with reference to prosecu-
ton in the port matter until after election"
State examiners checking the port books, found that
some Of the commission members had been buying
supplies thru the port purchasing agent, and that
some of the port money thus used had not been paid
back for months.
The attorney general helpless to act himself turned
this report over to Prosecutor Colvn with a
mendation that he begin action against Commissioners
Lampng and Lincoln.
But the prosecutor is dallying
IF proceed against Lamping, ! must proceed
against Lincoln" he says. 81 won't do that until
Lincoln now in the Orient has chance to first come
and see me-"
The Star believes that IF MR.. CoLvIN HAS SUI
FICIENT EVIDENCE to proceed against these men,
that he should act AT ONCE.
Politics should not interfere. There is no more
reason that Mr.. Colvn should be seen by Mr.. Lin
coin than that he should be by others he is called
upon to prosecute.
The fact that they are public officials should not
interfere.
With the port as run by the three port commits
sioners, almost closed corporation it is vital that
the ethics and integrity of those in charge must be
always above even the cloud of suspicion.
If these commissioners guilty of unethca
or illegal practice it is up to Prosecutor Covin to
clear their names NOW If he has sufficient evidence
not insist that they be retained in office until after
election"
1t isn't the election that is.mportant It's the sue
cess of the port.

Meisnest, graduate manager, Associ-
ated Students, University of Washing
ington.
In this great pageant, which was
produced successfully in Seattle in
1921 and 1922, more than 10000 per-
sons will take part There will be a
seated chorus of 1000 voices; stage
chorus of 300 members and 5000 9th
ers will take part in the scenes. These
are in addition to the principal play
ers for the speaking parts.
The pageant will be staged in the
