D. Lane's resolution, declaring for a ive-cent fare, would be perfectly all right if it were not ttherwise belied by his attitude towards the municipal vailway. Mere assertion that he is for the five-cent fare will not %¢ swallowed by the public so easily, knowing, as it must, hat Lane is one of the group of wilful men who are -hrowing every obstacle in the path of the system's making yood on a nickel fare. The way to maintain a five-cent fare is to permit the municipal railway system to effect such economies and such improvements as will insure that rate, How has Lane and the others of his mind met this proposition ? Can they say, in good conscience, that they have tried to make the municipal railway a success? tan they say, truthfully, that they now are trying to do so? Can. they, for instance, show why streets having no car tracks should be paved with funds obtained thru taxation and assessment, while streets, which have tracks, should be paved at the cost of the municipal railway, in part, at least? Can Lane answer that honestly, squarely, and without any political equivocation? We know very well that the city made the street car company pay for paving between tracks. But that is nc reason why the municipal railway should have to follov suit. We made the company pay it for the same reasor that we made the company pay 2 per cent of its gros receipts. The private company was using public propert for the conduct of its business. We therefore charged i so much rent, as it were. In the case of the municipal railway, the public is usin its own property. Councilman Lane knows that. Anc Councilman Erickson knows that. And Councilman Boltoi knows that. And Councilman Moore certainly knows it. When the municipal railway was purchased, the city agreed to maintain such ‘fares as would’ insure the compan) its principal and interest. Now, after Lane and his col leagues have done what they could to make the street ca fares higher, he comes into the council chamber with : five-cent resolution. It cannot be done, and Lane knows it as the lawyers say. “As we gather about the family board today let us remember the houseless and homeless and unbefriended.” ' She Goes It Alone Evidently the modern woman, especially the professional or wage earning woman, desires restriction and habitual ion as little as her brother. le have gone along for years believing that the we liked rules of conduct, liked to be herded in the straight and narrow way, preferred to personally be con- ducted in the way they should go. But when the woman has a chance to mind her own busi- ness and live her own life, she apparently does it as whole heartedly tions as her brother. The international convention of women physicians sat ly upon the suggestion that it go on record as oppos- e use of tobacco by women. The convention consi: ered that it was not in place for it to determine or dictate the habits of individuals, and in this it acted precisely as a masculine gathering of professional men would have. per- . The newest women’s hotels have no chaperons, no rigid rules, no 10 6’clock curfew. Some of the largest hotels of this sort, even managed by church organizations, leave the question of personal habits and pleasures entirely to the guests. system of a few years ‘ago. A woman jury descended in wrath on a judge recently because he told an erring wife to return to her husband, or go to jail. “No woman should be forced to live with a man she doesn’t love, whether he’s her husband or not,” cried one juror. a And when the wife chose jail rather than another tryout with friend husband, another juror said: “I admire her spunk.” The old idea was that a woman jury would always give the woman the worst of it; that idea died about the first time a woman jury functioned. The new woman is as eager for personal freedom, and the right of self expression, and cares no more for inane formalities, for “nice conduct,” than the man. Just how this is all going to work out when they get married is something a tempestuous future wi)! disclose. If the headlines concerning the running amuck of pert of the country get your goat, reflect how great a ’ oh of the country hasn't yet gone crazy and calm your- self. | Perils of Mars | Professor David Todd believes that the people of Mars are superior to the people of this earth because they have i greater difficulties to contend with. f There is no rainfall on their planet. Canals must convey i from the polar ice-caps all the water needed for agriculture and to support life of any sort. _ Mars will dry up in time, and its inhabitants perish. (All the while assuming that these inhabitants exist.) Pioneer connditions in the United States bred a splendid xe of Americans. They had to fight against odds ta keep alive. A new kind of odds and fresh obstacles are piling up before the modern American. . The individual's problems are more pressing than ever before. He is in no danger of being pierced by an arrow on his way to church, but it is almost as painful te pay i the 1919 price for a pair of shoes, for example. So we should be acquiring strength of mind and soul; we should be improving as the of life’s demands. It may be, therefore, that all the uncomfortable happen- ings of these days are true blessings. * Senaor McNary says the present sugar famine condi- tions are psychological. That's encouraging, Now per- haps he will show us a way to sweeten coffee with psy- chology. When the government announces that it will use drastic measures, everybody shudders. That means another conference, “Man must, for the most part, give thanks for his life vather than for the field thru which it flows.” “Our whole life should speak forth our thankfulness,” Lane does not present his resolution “with ciean hands,” ; __ A somewhat striking change from the close herding! tlt of the very harshness | THE SEATTLE STAR EVERETT TRUE “MR, TROE, HAVG _ Met MY You | | campe. are wash x | influenza infection was found to be There are two general methods of cleansing the eating utensils in) the army—one by which the dishes | the} in boiling water, other by the “old line method” in| | and as unmindful of the narrow minded conven-| which each soldier washes, his own kit in water which is never bolling, and may be merely lukewarm, and which has previously been used by mradens, hiss The resu! lative te reported 1 It of an investigation bout 66,000 troops have iawue of he American Public Health. | Where the * ne method” was } used, groups of about 200 men used jeommon water which boiling, but }the number | | At Camp from these two # test These fin: emphanized tween the among the training ach the men w but had the! ing water, N Decem ability In Francie Xa ary, who w dled follower of Mercator, a died, He w with a geniu was+the in projection fc and charts published = h his In 1 | Louis de ldied.
