It is small wonder, therefore, that the puncil and the street railway department should now be besieged by all sorts of petitions for car line extensions. These petitions must be given careful consideration. In the na- re of things, there will be some petitions that cannot be justified, some extensions asked that should not be allowed because of the ‘small number of people to be served in comparison with other dis- tricts. The amount that can be expended for street car improve- ents and extensions naturally must have some limit. : But, in general, the city’s policy must be, if it functions correctly, make as many extensions as possible. For, above all other con- rations in the purchase of the Puget Sound Traction system by city, the people intended better service, better transportation. past year has seen the inauguration of seve ral extensions and uch improvement in service, and Seattle has reason to congratu- te itself that it has lifted itself out of the muddle in which the peo- le of Tacoma, Spokane, Centralia, Vancouver and other Washington ties find themselves. “Listen to the Centralia Hub, for instance: it is apparent that the North Coast Power Co. will not have plain, smooth sailing in matter of raising fares. ° * The company has amply demonstrated that it is not itled to any consideration from the city in the matter of protection. Service has never worse. * * Cars have been run on schedule when it ples sed the company to run thus, rather than when'the public demanded service. Whole trips have been omitted mtly (the excuse being that this was necessary to get the cars back on schedule ) and the attitude of the management generally has been of the ‘public be damned’ ster. * * The public have been patient with the North Coast Power company. the most patient worm will turn sometime.” Street car conditions in Centralia are apparently unbearable under te ownership! In Spokane, the fares have gone to seven cents, ‘in Tacoma a 10-cent fare is sought, and in neither city is the ice to be compared with Seattle’s. In Vancouver there is fussing wrangling over street car service and franchise obligations. “It looks as tho traction systems thruout the state, as, indeed, h: the nation, fail to function properly except in a few rare And the Seattle system is one of the exceptions. grows clearer right along that a n Y | weet car system belongs under public ownership. Private owner- ip has not been able to furnish the necessary service. Public " hip is making the extensions and improvements in Seattle which for ten years had been denied it by private ownership.

(Copyright, 191%, by Vrank Crane) on of Democ A Nation of All Advertising is a bid for Friendships Tho the Trust and the Labor Union have both been abused by selfishness, and per- verted by shortsightedness and lust for power, yet the .original idea of both is Friendship. The Trust thrives because it.realizes the power of Friendly Capital; the Labor Union because it realizes the power of Friendliness among Workers. They both halt and become septic because they cannot take the next step in Friend- liness and become Friendly toward each other. There is no reason why this step should not be taken, except the innate cussedness | of man, the inertia of tradition, and the lack of vision. There is but one way to solve the Negro question; it is for the two races to cease enmity and cultivate Friendship, There is but one way to end War; it is for the nations to be Friends, We are fond of calling quarrelsomeness Human Nature. It is not. It is the slump and bankruptcy of Human Nature. For it is most Human to be Friendly. Underneath all our surface Hates and Bickerings there is growing the strong and rising power of Friendliness. Left alone, unstirred and undeluded by militarism and monarchy, the French and Germans would never have fought. It was not Human Nature, it was the evil system, the Old Order, that caused the War.
