Yesterday Hugo Kelley, editor of the Renton Herald, took Bob Bridget publicly to task for Bridg's' declaration that he would-*\u25a0 resign from the new port commission. "This is not your fight," said Kelley. "It is the people's fight. It is your duty to stick to your guns. If you quit, the newspapers will give you headlines on that day,and then you will be forgotten. A man will have gone down in the people's fight, but another will be raised to take his place. Now, when the enemy has apparently obtained reinforcements, is no time for a goodgeneral to talk about quitting." Bridges, who was present, did not reply.

POP'S DREAM I(?J

THE STAR is going to help "pap" and the rest of the family to realize thisyear the dream of the ideal backyard garden.

Starting tomorrow, this paper will print a series of articles that explain, minustechnical language, every difficulty facing a beginner at gardening.

Chances are food is going to be high and also scarce this year, while we arekeeping half the world from starving. The home garden is the solution.

Any man, by putting in an hour or two after work each day in the backyard,can make that small plot save him many dollars this summer.

It's a regular school, with a regular public school teacher, thechief difference between this andother public schools being that theschool children at the Orthopedicdon't go to the blackboard.

Vou see, they can't.Some of the school children

were In wheel chairs. And somewere on crutches. And some satup In bed. And some were strapped in bed so securely they couldn'tmove.

They told me at the hospital thatJulia has a chance?a fightingchance. It may be so. for they dowonderful things at the Orthopedic.

They make bent backs and crook,

ed legs straight. They repair clubfeet, so that kids can wear regularshoes and run and jump and play.They patch up in all sorts of wayslittle bodies that, through accident,

or disease, or Inherited taint, havegot out of whack.

? ? ?

I than 50 other stories, any one ofwhich I might have told.

Mending bodies Is expensive

business. The Orthopedic has 50beds. And its money is aboutgone: its resources about exhaust-ed. You see. times have been nonetoo good, and the worried businessman, thinking of retrenchment,cuts his charities In two.

And sickness does not wait for"good times."

A bed at the Orthopedic costs$250 a year.

I feel sure there is a man In thistown who remembers a little boy,now long dead, who might be man-grown today and a source of com-fort and pride to his father ifthere had been an Orthopedic hos-pital to send him to.

I SUGGEST THAT A BED ATTHE ORTHOPEDIC. NAMED AFT-ER THAT DEAD LITTLE BOY,WOUIO be a finer monumentTHAN ANY OF MARBLE, ORGRANITE. OR BRONZE

I suggest that, despite "hardtimes," there are societies in this Jtown, and churches, and orders, fwhich could afford a bed at the Or- i

thopedic. /AND I SUGGEST, FINALLY,

THAT THERE ARE CHILDRENWITH STRAIGHT. AGILE BODIESWHO WOULD BE GLAD, IFTHEY SAW THE N F ED. TOGIVE THEIR DIMES. NICKELSAND PENNIES TO THE ORTHO-PEDIC.

I am trying to emulate the exam,

pie of the ''ad" writer who so cun-, ningly engages the interest of thereader that he reads the advertise,

ment through to the end and doesnot discover until he reaches thelast paragraph that what he isreading is an advertisement.

Julia is my excuse, the "peg" onwhich I hang my advertisement.

The story of Julia is true. It Isno truer, though, or more pitiful.

OLYMPIA, March 11.?Unless the people invokethe referendum within the next 90 days, it is all offwith the people's privilege ever in the future to employthe initiative, referendum or recall.

The people's free direct primaries are also jeopard-ized, all as the result of legislative action Wednesdayevening.

In rapid succession, house and senate passed over

the governor's vetoes Senate Bills 120, 178 and 229.The first compels signers of recall petitions to go

to the registration offices, and prohibits circulation ofpetitions.

The second makes the same rule apply to initiativernd referendum petitions, and substantially means thatsigners of petitions will be required to wait hours inline in registration offices.

ERROR FOUND ININITIATIVE BILL

OLYMPIA. March 11.?With the discovery that thetitle of S. B. 178, the amend-ment to the initiative andreferendum laws, apparent-ly through clerical error, re-fers to Article 11 of the stateconstitution, instead of Ar-ticle 2, many lawyers in thehouse and senate are of theopinion the measure >s nowwholly invalid.

Attorney General Tannersays the bill is now in a ques-tionable state, but he doesnot positively declare it Isinvalidated.

The mistake was not no-ticed until this morning,when the measure was aboutto be engrossed for officialrecord.
