WASHINGTON POSTOFFICE
HAS BIGGEST FLAG.

Amid the strains OF "The Star Spangled
Banner" which swelled from 20O throats.
the largest flag I'm the world was swung
into it's place across the court in the
postoffice department building.
The flag was unfurled ana hoisted to
the wire cable which supports II by Capt
OF the Watch James Copeland, and when
the monster banner finally was placed IN
the right position a mighty cheer rang
through the building
The banner was expressly buHt Tor the
postoffice and is OF American wool bunt-
ing Built under the army regulations az
a ratio of 10 10 10. tho flag Is 40 feet lonS
and approximately 20 feet wide The
strfpes are more than 2Iz feet wide and
each star Is more than a foot IN diameter.
Until the time this mammoth banner
was built the flag of the pension departs
ment which was sent To the Paris expo-
sition and which now hangs IN the court
of the pension department building. was
the largest that had ever been construct
cd.
Its dimensions were about % by 80 feet

MYSTERIES DON'T RULE.

The police commission is too well balanced to
permit itself to be used to club John B. Nash out
OF business for the conspicuous part he played in
the Crsty- Matthews trial .t#e r.
That case is closed, and this matter has nothing
at all to do with it," is the emphatic and sensible
view expressed by Col. Harold ]. Gross and heartily
ndorsed by Chairman William II. Luther
Both, in the exercise OF their best judgment,
have considered the charge, which is admitted that
improper pictures were exhibited in OF Nash's
amusement places Mash says without his know-
edge or consent and both have decided, in the alb
sence of Commissioner Lewis J. Pierce, that the
circumstances justify the closing of both of the
penny vaudeville places pending further investi-
cation.
They cannot speak so confidently as the organ
does of the position Mr.. Pierce will take on the
question until he has heard both sides, nor decide
offhand the important question OF rcvokng licenses
without giving man, who has so much att stake,
the fullest opportunity for explanation i'll view OF
the peculiar circumstances.
They are not weeping Extras to influence pub
lie opinion, but taking the calm, judicial view of
the case in hand; and everybody acquainted with
the commissioners is satisfied that it will be settled
on its merits, in accordance with the dictates of
even-handed justice and regardless OF any old
scores.

THE CIVIC SPIRIT.

There was a man In our town
Whose heart was filled with pride,

Now let US all combine 10 have

Lets strive for beauty, so that when
a stranger comes TO town
He'll think at once that this is where
He ought TO settle down:

The true artistic taste.
And have our city i'm the list
OF handsome cities placed"
Then someone rose to mildly say.
Lets beautfy the town
BY shutting off the smoke that from
Our fiues comes swooping down."

The city made sublime

And never mind the CRIME"

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

In the opinion of Everett w. Burdctt, counsel
for the Edison Electric company, municipal owner
ship in Europe is big failure lie has recently
been abroad and studied the manner in which vari-
Gus European cities handle public utilities; and he
says:
"Many of our people have turned in an nquir-
ing frame OF mind 10 the experiments in municipal
ownership on the other side OF the water. 1t has
been found and all OF the leading journals on the
other side will tell you, that municipal ownership
has been complete failure. The result has been
In England that the vast majority OF English towns
that have engaged in such projects find themselves
sadded with huge debt"
Mr.. Burdctt's corporation affiliations may natu-
rally have tended somewhat to prejudice his views
and, despite all that has been said and printed to
the contrary, there still seems reasonable ground
for declining TO accept unreservedly assertions that
municipal ownership in Europe has proved COM
pete failure"
The most intelligent student OF the problem
and most sincere advocate OF the principle hestaes
to assert that the average American city yet quite
ready to adopt municipal ownership i'll a sweeping
way
Nevertheless, the time is certain to come-a
condition in large measure forced by the public
service corporations Reconsideration the owner
ship OF public utilities by the people will be general ;
and it is difficult to believe that even honest
administration of city's affairs cannot as profit
ably provide electric lights as water or as success
fully supply heat and power as it disposes OF
garbage and sewage.

FOR WOMEN READERS
LITTLE GIRLS FR0CK
WITH SKELETON WAIST

So many OF the smart features of wo-
mems gowns have been appropriated TO
childrcn's frocks that in writing OF the
latter one finds little that is new to which
to give expression. Specialists in Juvenile
attire however. show no lack Of ideas IN
designing pretty dresses for girls OF sizes
from tho toddllng tor TO the growing miss.
The frock illustrated here Is built up OF
soft cream colored cloth. having the skirt
trimmed with tailored bands, scalloped
and stitched upon the front, continuing
around the bottom TO form the hem The
fulness at the waistline is laid IN sido
plaits stitched down closely.
The cver-popular skeleton model nnds
expression in the waist which hangs over
an attached belt of cloth. IL is worn over
an underblouse of embroidery. The dvid-
ed sleeves are bridged by little straps OF
cloth whose ends are secured beneath
small white silk buttons
The aim I'm dressing children OF TO-DAY
is 10 make their frocks as smart as pos
sible keeping them at the same time
well within the bounds OF simplicity. SOFT
effects are always OF first consideration,
bebc bodices being In great demand, also
the little bodices with Empire back ana
modern front. Skirts are never trimmed
elaborately and narrow frills or ribbon
lace or the dress material are usually SUI
ficient to express noval ideas of arrange

HOW TO IMPROVE
OUR BALLOT SYSTEM.

II Is announced that series OF ballot
reform bills will be presented TO the leg
islature early in the coming session by
the Election Laws Improvement associa-
ton. of which William NJ. WINS, at one
time Republican candidate for mayor OF
New York, is president
The most notable change 10 he embod-
led in the proposed amendment is the
adoption OF what is known as the Massa-
chusetts form of ballot. Upon this ballot
the names OF candidates ate"arranged AZ
phabetically under the titles OF the offices
for which they are nominated. ana no
name is allowed to appear more than once
upon the ballot. Such an arrangement or
course compels the elector 10 put marx
opposite the name of each person Tor
whom he desires 10 cast vote. There is
no such thing voting an entire TICKET
by means OF a single mark, as can ne
done under tho form now used IN New
York.
The objection TO the Massachusetts, sys-
tenn is that il increases the difficulty OF
voting straight party ticket. While VIC
do not think that any advantage should
be given 10 those who support party nom-
nations over voters who desire the elec-
tion OF Independent candidates, we see no
reason why any obstacle should be placed
in the way OF the former class OF voters
Whether the Massachusetts form OF bal
lot be adopted or not there are seVerai
arguments in favor OF the adoption OF 4
system which shall prevent the name OF
a candidate from appearing more than
once upon the ballot. II ought not To be
possible, as IL was at the last election,
for a person who had been nominated by
one of the great parties to have his name
placed on the ballot not only In the col
umn assigned 10 that party, but IN an
other separate column as the nominee OF
some independent organization. Under
the nresent system the multiplication OF
columns 10 contain the independent noml-
nations OF candidates whose names AL
ready appear in some other column en-
larges the ballot needessly and tends 10
confuse the voter.
While this general subject is under CON
sideraton by the legislature II would nc
well 20 provide that the space In which
the voter Is 10 place his mark upon the
ballot should be larger than that now
provided. so that the elector viii not DC
liable 10 have his vote rejected because
the cross happens 20 extend outside th'
voting space. Indeed. the law should pro
vide that any error In this respect shoulo
not render the ballot void unless II olear'
