(Seattle Times.) "wenty Years Ago” column in The Times recalls that about this time in 1908, Mayor John F. Miller ordered A. V. Bouillon, Superin- tendent of Utilities, to inspect the car tracks of the system and see that the pavement was brought up to the top-note tand- ard. In those days when a stretch of pavement looked untidy or fell into disrepair municipal author descended on the old Seattle Electric Company with righteous wrath and threatened to knock it loose from its franchise. Those were the 1 days! In the year 1928 Seattle car tracks-—where there is any at all— famous ruin.

We blush when we note the eye of the casual visitor on that broken, caved- in, staggering strip of pavement that runs along all our carline theroughfares. In addition to good pavements we reap other benefits, which are now Annually we collected 2 per cent. of revenues of the street.car comuany as a fran- chise tax. We collected a substantial share of bridge maintenance and bridge construction. We made the company pay the salaries of crossing patrolmen and then we levied property tax on all loldings. And, what was more im- portadt, we had a G-cent fare with universal trangfer privileges.

R. boats but if mailed only a few days before the steamer sails for this port, the letters and papers have gone south to Seattle and have to return by way of Vancouver. We have no idea how long it takes for a let- ter to go from here to Ketchikan but if anything like long as coming this way, the is not good for business and does not say much for the progressiveness of vither that city or this Prince Rupert and Ketchikan are neighbors but they might as well be a thousand miles apart, fa mail communication is con- cerned Ketehikan as £0 as Four Pints of Moonshine and Liberty. (Dubuque, TIa., Tribune.) A Michigan woman faces a life term for hav- ing whiskey in her home. Federal officers dis- covered two quarts of moonshine in her house She had been convicted before of three felonies, all of them liquor law offenses. Fred Palm of Lansing now serving a life sentence for the possession of a pint of gin, which was his fourth and final offense We believe in the habitual criminal law, provided it is used to bring real criminals to terms But to make the possession of four pints of moonshine an offense that results in punishment equal on of law. The measure as applied in Michi- out of proportion with the punishment meted out for real crime, murder, arson, robbery. It is fanatical and defeats its own ends. It Sounds Hollow to Us. (Kansas City Star.) set any store by Kipling's asser- tion that “he travels the fastest who travels alone,” and we welcome the opposing sentiment of the Prince of Wales that “you .will not get far without the help of the women.” Only we don't why FEmnglish wemen should get all excited about it and say, as one is quoted as saying, that it is “a high compliment to women.” Our theory is that handsome {is8 as handsome does, and that faith without works is dead. It the Prince really wants to compliment the ladies why doesn’t he marry one? We never When mine is mined, it glves out; it practically ceases wealth producer.

A good many evening look like the owners had to see how little they could for the most money. A husband ought so to live that when the wreath goes up on the door the neighbors won't rush in to congratulate his wife on at last having a chance for a little peace and happiness.
