The RiQht Men for Office

Are the plain people insurging
against their professional prophets?
Here is one of them who writes to
his paper to say as "one of the COM
mon people, he is getting "darned
tired of being ruled by men whose
occupation with public affairs is u.s.
ually in inverse ratio to their success
in private affairs, and he goes on to
say:
"In face, I'm tired of being ruled
by the wild ass who is always appeal
ing to the people. Give me instead
man who has been successful in
business or has had a real law prac.
tice'
We are afraid this wearied and dis.
gusted commoner has inadvertently
hit on the cruX of the great American
political difficulty. AS a rule the real.
ly successful and capable business
men and lawyers have neither time
nor taste for politics-more's the pity.

TIMELY PRECAUTIONS.
How to Avoid Serious Automobile Ac-
cidents.


cidents.
"A large per cent Of the automobile
accidents could be avoided if the prop
err precautions were taken" said an
expert driver recently.
Zone of the greatest dangers is when
an automobile driver in rear car tries
to make the one in front eat his dust
On one side of the forward car or d.
rectly in front may be another ma
chine. vehicle or pedestrian who to
the driver Of the rear car is not within
his sight. Invariably when passing
machines in this manner-that is, from
the rear-the driver opens his cut out
and by increasing his speed passes the
machine in front so fast that he
doesn't see the other occupant of the
road until nearly upon him. The result
is an accident.
Because a car is hired many people
think the driver should do things that
common sense tells him he should not.
A little extra change tempts the driver
to comply with the passengers request
to speed up. If the occupant Of the
car would not tempt him the chauffeur
would not be inclined to break the
speed and traffic laws and the newspa-
pers would not be filed every day with
accounts of catastrophes.
by standing on busy street corner
you will readily observe how many &C.
cidents result from the carelessness Of
pedestrians and not through the fault
Of automobile drivers. In every direc-
ton you will see people crossing busy
streets reading a newspaper or talking
with friend-in fact. doing almost
anything except paying attention to
where they are going If they would
cut square corners and look both ways
before crossing you would not hear Of
so many accidents The public must
help the traffic policemen II the police
are to help the automobiles"

THE OTHER SIDE
OF CONTROVERSY
The Street Lighting Situation
from the Viewpoint Of the
Electric Company

The controversy between the city
council and the Grays Harbor Railway
4 Light Co., over the cost of street
lighting has received so much pub
licity from the side of the council,
that fair play demands the company's
side should be heard When either
party to any contract. desiring its
abrogation, takes the public into his
confidence, it is but fair that the 9TH
err fellow be heard. With this object
in view. the Herald prints below. the
lighting situation from the stand
point of the company holding the con.
tract:
"Since the agitation of the neces-
sity for economy in administering the
city's affairs. the Grays Harbor Rail-
way & Light Co. has, on two diff
ferent occasion, been asked to re-
duce the cost of street lighting to the
city by cutting down the amount Of
street lighting furnished. The origin
/, 1906, and covered arc lights only
About Jan. 1, 1912, supplementary
contract was entered into covering
tungsten lamps, the latter contract
being made a supplement to the first
contract, and expiring the same time
Nov 1, 1916.
"On account of these two contracts
the company has invested in, and in
stalled complete arc lighting sys-
tenn and later, tungsten lighting sys
TEN. Neither of these systems can
be made use of for other forms of
electric service except in small parts
Each reduction in street lighting ask
ed for would entail taking out por
ton of the street lighting apparatus
or at least making it unproductive
"The company met the first request
of the council just as asked for, cut
kting out 20 tungsten lamps in the
down town district. This reduction
amounted to $40 pr year. The Sec
ond reduction asked for was gone over
by the members of the council and
representatives of the Grays Harbor
Railway & Light Co. with view of
cutting down the total cost of street
lighting to the city's figure, included
in he budget, of $4,000 per year and
of impairing the street illumination
as little as possible.
after several conferences between
the committees from the council and
the Grays Harbor Railway & Light
Co., the proposition embodied in the
communication of the company to the
council on Dec. 10, was agreed on as
being fair one. This arrangement
substitutes 40 100 watt tungstens cost
ing the city 1925 per month, for 40
street arc lamps costing the city
$685. per month. This substitution
of tungsten lamps for arc lamps will
save the city $2.120 per year. and add.
ing the reduction due to the 20 tung-
stem lamps already cut out in the bust
ness district, the total reduction to the
city on street lighting is $3.50 per
annum. The company is asking in ad
dition, that the city reimburse them
for part of the expense for making
the change from arc light to tung-
stem lights, which cost does not in
clude the value of the arc lighting
systems, which will be thrown out
of USE"

Economy
Hints
How to Cater at Home.
A penny saved 10
a penny earned
Benjamin Franklin.

HCONOMY is always compare
tive matter. If you have more
money than time it Is econ
omy to use the money to
gain time: if time is no object you can
pass it to advantage making things for
which you have no money to pay.
So If you would be your own caterer
for dance or reception or wedding or
card party or any other sort Of enter
tainment separate your time and mon
ey and compare them with each other.
You probably will find it true econ
Omy to be lavish in your expenditure
for accessories. Buy good bonbons:
you do not need many of them. And
buy first class olives. Homemade sal
ad can be made economically at half
the expense of caterers salad. but half
price olives and bonbons spoil the best
of feasts.
Another thing that you can buy eco
nomically is rolls. Dainty finger rolls
can be bought for cent apiece. and
the time expended in making dainty
sandwiches is certainly worth more
than cent for each sandwich. An
other g-sandwiches must be put
together at the last minute to be at
their best. and at the last minute there
are always too many things to do.
If you live in big city or in town
where there is local caterer it is
economy to buy the ice cream or what
ever sort of ice you want. Homemade
ice cream may be delicious. but it is
always troublesome delicacy. 1t may
melt before it is needed. or it may
freeze too hard. Moreover. freeZers
big enough to make 1t in large quanti-
ties are not part of the ordinary
kitchen equipment.

How to Use Briqht Lininos.

The fashion of gorgeous chintz silks
for the inside of coats this season is
ano hrr weapon which If put into the
hands uf the amateur can work great
harm to the costume. 1t Is all very
we'll for an artist to introduce pea
cocks and parrots. poinsettias and Eng
fish gardens into costume, but when
the woman who doesn't know any
thing about color attempts this she
makes the whole fashion absurd.
Therefore it would be wise to give
her warning in regard to the use OF
them. If she has gown Of - bright
color or one with figured pattern let
her avoid the use Of the gorgeous
lining in the jacket that she wears
with it. She should restrict its use to
a coat where the only brilliant splash
of color is in the lining of the jacket
In that case she can go as far as she
likes and turn herself into an orchard
or jungle at pleasure.

Meeting City Half Way

Aberdeen seems to be fortunate in
having to deal with a public service
corporation which is willing to meet
the city half way in it's scheme of
retrenchment. The city has con-
tract for street lighting with the
Grays Harbor Railway G. Light COM
pany which still has some years to
run. When confronted by the neces-
sity of trimming the city budget the
company was asked to modify its
contract and. by substituting Btung
ten for arc lamps. cause a reduction
of more than $4,000 a year in the
amount it was entitled to receive
from the city. The company agreed
to make these changes which is, 10
say the least. somewhat unusual in
these days when corporations. as
well as individuals. are loath to give
up any of it's income.-Hoquiam
