great corporations, and those Judges
almost invariably uphold the ra-
pacity and oppression which we
suffer at the hands of the cor
porations. The laws that congress
pass, do not amount to any more
than the laws of the Russian
Douma, where they are aimed at
corporate abuses, and yet we ri
dicule the Douma. And that is
what is making socialists and in

We looked in vain for mention of
the congratulations sent by Senator
La Toilette to Uncle Ike upon the
8Ist anniversary of the latter S
birthday. Probably he forgot to
do so in the great stress of business.
The editorial in the Milwaukee
Free Press issue Of June IS, on
Isaac Stephenson was exceedingly
good and truthful. The writer has
been acquainted with Senator
Stephenson for thirty years or more
and knows him to be an honest,
big-hearted man, who can be trusted
by his friends and they not be dis
appointed. The loss of early schol-
astic opportunities he has more
than Offset by good judgment. The
only mistake he made, was in
taking up bogus reform and those
who were to be the political bene-
hciaries of such a reform, that has
cost the state millions of dollars
and the end is not yet.
Kaiser William has the govt, so
the press informs us. He might
distribute it among his less for
tunate friends. And by the way,
it reminds us of a story. A man
who had imbibed to freely, fell
upon the sidewalk and was frothing
at the mouth. A kind hearted old
lady came along and looking
through her specs at the drunken
man, remarked in agonizing tones.
The poor man is desperately sick
and a physician should be called at
once" An Irishman standing by
remarked. "Begorra, I would like
to have one-half of his sickness,
for there is enough for both of us. !"
The Kaiser should divide the cause
of his govt, and then have plenty
left.
Col. Roosevelt having returned the
country is safe again, and when he

WOMEN CALLED TRUE
ECONOMISTS OF HOME
Lazy Housewives Make Cost of
Living High

1t is lazy women who make the cost of living
high says an eminent mutimiilionare who
ought to know better. He says that wives do not
go to- market but depend on butcher boys ana
the telephone to do marketing. with the result
that they get the poorest sort of fO0GstuS at the
highest prices. says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t is terrible indictment; if true, something
ought to be done to the lazy wives. But IS IL
true? We think not. The multmillionaire. from
the vantage point of his private car OF limousine
may get a wrong perspective OF society. he is
generally seeing pictures of things instead OF the
things themselves.
1t is quite true that there some women
who do not so to market. but these arc they
who not what the prices be. They can
AFFORD anything. But 90 per cent OF the women
who supervise the domestic table know prett!
well what is in the market and where to get the
cheapest. The allowance for the table in most
households has not increased in the last few
years. In the meantime. babies have come along
and with mouths to feed. the economic
problem has become acute. There are mighty
few wives who do not know to fraction where
the best and cheapest the poorest and only
available foodstufs are to be found Ask any
butcher or grocer whether women do not know
about prices
The proof lies in the fact that women are the
economists of the home. If il were only mat
ter Of food the situation would be simpler, but
in these days women have to dress better than
ever before. and the only way they con do so

they spend lavishly and extravagsntly on the
table when there are so many things TO ne
bought for personal adornment. The truth IS
that women very keen economists. They

cooking they should. may he deficient IN a

MORE CANDIDATES SEEK
TO SECURE COUNTY JOB
Present Themselves as Willing
to Succeed Auditor

OAKLAND, March 5.-Candidates TO
succeed County Auditor George S.
Pierce; whose resignation will go to
the board of supervisors Monday, con-
tinue to crop up. Besides the several
Berkeleyans and Oakland citizens al
ready mentioned there have appeared

Berkeley resident, and Julius c. Lut-

Walter Gompertz assured some of his
friends today that he felt confident
that the plum would fall TO him. The
supervisors have been noncommittal
thus far, and they assert that no de-
cision has been reached. Pressure is
being exerted on behalf of the men now
in the fight including Walter Woolsey.

CITY PLANS OWN
LIGHTING PLANT
Municipal Electric Power Sys-
tenn Contemplated by the

municipal electric light plant, accord

department of public works, today.
matter for the last three months and
has had competent engineers looking
into the matter.
Twenty years go the city owned a
municipal electric lighting plant, but
turned it over to the Berkeley electric
lighting company under a contract,
which is said to be still in effect, al
lowing the city to have its offices
lighted gratuitously. This matter is
now being Investigated.
The present lighting system here has
been a matter on which the improve
ment clubs have argued by the hour.
The improvers are of the opinion that
the 220 volt system is expensive and
not as effective as the 110 volt current.
The question has been frequently agl-
tated here, but no change has been
ordered by the public service corpora
ton, in spite of the numerous pro-
tests.
Alameda has a municipal plant for
lighting purposes which is operated at
a profit, and the council believes that
Berkeley can build such plant, both
for supplying lights for the city and
for the residents
Under the new charter the acquire
ment of the plant meets with no legal
difficulty, and the councilmen are en-
thusiastic over the scheme for cheaper
lights.

over the telephone that if he met the
next day a man at Clay and Twelfth

Fer Don took the money with him

never saw the man again. He did not
