Star was an early advocate of m a time when the city imi ipal owned its own water plan own » & gas company in this city was overcharging (he ple to the tune of er thousand feet, The Star, then a new per with a smal! circulation, took up the cudgels in behalf of the People and advocated the construction of a municipal plant, provid @2 that some private company would not furnish $1 gas After a long and hard fight the gas monopoly was broken, a new Ompany was born and gas cut to $1.25 and then to $1. Although the new company subseq ly became part and parcel of the old foncern, the price of gas was perma lowered The Star gained its first general public support in that t But the people were not quite ready to own and of gas Works, They were content to allow a new company to cut the pre Yailing rate for gas. Soon after the gas fight was finished The Star began to advo @ate the city engineer's plan for the construction of a municipal @lectric plant, clearty ywing th that the private companies Operating im this city were charging excessive prices for current Other newspay The scheme pr Fesult was the creation of the Cedar Menting the excellent water plant. Bo far as the people of Seattle @fal ownership of public utilities they have good. There is yet another step to be taken ‘The city must own its street railways. Whether it will > bie to accomplish this desirable end in the Bear future or not is a matter yet to be determined ‘The indications multiply that the day ts approaching. Exist- Yang franchises may stand in the way, but public sentiment is becom- tng more and more favorable to public ownership. ‘There are many who believe that the initial move should be Zaken on Second av., where the city now has a fine opportunity to Feserve the privilege to establish, as soon as convenient, a muni- Gipal street car line on the busiest thoroughfare of the city, and @hus test under favorable conditions the municipal operation of a Tocal street railway. The city should by al) means insist upon the continuation of Mhe joint user clause in the Second ay. franchise asked for by the Beattle Electric company. A Cure for Wife-Beaters screetly silent s worth to the people, howev river electric plant have progressed towards gen found the results to be Tn spite of a recent decision of a learned Scotch magistrate that B man may lawfully beat his wife, it is not generally regarded as Bice conduct. Céerts in this country frown upon it. And when President Roosevett last winter urged congress to establish the whipping-post for wifebenters, popular feeling was back of his proposition. ‘The wife-beater may have the law on his side in Scotland, but “he has a hard road to travel in this country. ‘The average American citizen would punch his head; om woman would stick a bat pin in him or scrateh his eyes out; ‘Police court sends him to the workhouse. Bat all these methods appear too mild to the gentle ladies who @ominated the recent debate of the New York Legisiative league. ‘These tender-hearted reformers had met for the purpose of con- Gemning the hanging of women. But somehow they drifted to talking “about wife-beaters and what ought to be done with them. “Though { am a Christian, | would kill a husband who me!” declared ona ‘This warmed things up—as It should. The gentle-souled reform- @rs forgot all about saving women from hanging and warmly in- @orsed the killing of men. “A woman who kills a husband who has beaten her,” argued one, “should be tried by a jury of her peers, and these should be women ‘who have been beaten by their husbands.” Another cried: “It is just as important to shoot a brutal man as a mad dog!” “It Is a woman's rig her.” So the poor condemned woman on the scaffold was left with the Pope about her neck while a war of extermination was declared upon the wife-beater. Tt might be expected that there will be a sudden flow of gore. Bat it must be remembered that the strong-minded and strong- women of a legislative league are not the women whose hus- beat them. These gentle women's husbands are probably at Thome taking care of the babies, or poodles, and trembling at every Sound which may indicate the wife’s return to the domain The busbands of such women are not wife-beaters. Maybe in game cases they are lucky not to be beaten themselves It is to be noted that the gentle women had no word of con- @emnation for the woman who beats her husband. It would baye been only fair had these women decreed that the Wife-beater should at least bave an equal chance with the husband- THE CREPE VEIL A few weeks ago Vinson Walsh, son of Mr. and Mrs, Thos, Walsh, @f New York, was killed in an automobile accident In the same accident the boy's sister was seriously Injured For days her lite hung by a thread and any hint of her brother's fate meant death to her.
