The bulk of municipal Public serivee corpoartions. No other field offers such harvests to corruption can be traced almost directly to the the boodler or gives the willing victim such an opportunity to recoup himself, with rich interest, at the expense of the people. It was a street railway bribe that brought down the rotten structure of munic ipal vice in St. Louis. It \s the gas ring that holds Philadelphia in thralldom Restrictive legisiation, like the ertes of socialism from a stock- laden presa, have been powerless to stem the tide In vain have the paid shouters pointed out that by some particular method of figur. ing they could prove municipal ownership a failure. The answer has been found in practically every city experiment that better service was obtained at a lower cost. It is now past the experiment staze. It Burope did not prove enough, America has ber own examples Seattle has a municipal light plant, and other cities are preparing to follow the example. Chicago, having proven the light question, ts get ting ready to settle the bad street car service in the same manner That the people are tired of paying dividends on wa: stock ts further shown by the municipal ownership movement in New York, Baltimore, Milwaukee and many smaller places. Detroit knows, for her light plant is one of her proudest achieve ments. Working people are recognizing the direct importance of the Movement to their cause. It means the ment of a system of shorter hours and better wages, appying to thousands of their co- workers, and this, in turn, strengthens their cause by example. rs That seventeen-story sky-scraper on the corner of Second avenue and Columbia street, which The Star told about in Thursday's issue, will be the tallest building ever erected in the Northwest.

PRE EEEERE RH see ete a * - - * * - * The secret of having a house shine after the spring cleaning lies in having plenty of dry, clean towels, lots of clean water and plenty of soap (in the right place) Water will not clean a bit of wood work when the water itself is dirtier than the wood. Keep t water clean, throw out often and get fresh. W is cheap; don’t use it after it is dirty. The following formul a makes a good kitchen soap: Three pounds of unslaked lime, mixed with six pounds of washing soda. Pour over all four gallons of bolling water. Set aside until clear, drain off and stir in six pounds of clean fat. Boll, stirring almost constantly, until it begins to hard- en. While it is boiling add two gallons of cold water which has been poured on the alkaline mixture after draining off the four gallans. This must also be clear before it is poured off. Add gradually when the mixture {s botling hard. Try the soap by pouring a little on ® plate.
