Commissioner Atkins proposal to join with other
cities In the state in campaign to break away from
the grasp of the public service commission and to
regulate its own street car companies and other
corporations to suit themselves should receive the
strongest support possible from every citizen in Ia
As the matter stands now the city of Tacoma can
say to the Stone-Webster concern here: "Hey, you
fellows, you running crowded cars; want you
to stop it and If you don't we are going to arrest
your conductors Stone-Webster can laugh at the
city and the city must go to the public service
mission for redress, and probably lose. Again the
city may demand universal transfers. but the public
service commission can step in once more and tell
the city where to head off A good public service
commission would remove all reasons why we should
have home rule, but don't generally have good
public service commissions.
By all means Commissioner Atkins move is one
of the most important things that has up be
fore the city council this year.

To the pathos of lives snuffed out in the fighting
stage of revolution is often added the tragedy of
hopes disappointed when the fighting ends.
1t may be in Mexico Privilege is weak
against people in arms, but willy and resourceful
when the grounded. The peon can fight
and die, but how can he know whether his trusted
leaders selling him out9
But one figure in the Mexican weller has arisen
to catch the fancy of American democrats. Villa,
ex-bandit, soldier, reputed man of his word, has
seemed, under scrutiny to show the merit of de-
pendableness.
To bring opportunity to millions in virtual slav-
cry is vision worthy of great soul and this vision
Villa has.
His test is at hand The test not only of his
age but of his power. Can he uphold the banner of
real reform; can he prevent the treasons of shfty
compromises he cohere the forces that want the
land In Mexico distributed for the benefit of the peo
pie of Mexico and give no quarter until that great
and difficult task is in fair way to be done2
Patriotism, comradeship a field of battle is
easy Firmness, fidelity, foresight amidst the temp
tations of victory is rare.
The future of francisco Villa ought to be even
more interesting than his spectacular past

COW EATS CLAY

A reader says he hauled some clay into the COW lot from a ditch bank and the COW eats it every time she gets a chance. What must be done to prevent this cow eating clay?
 The COW eats the clay either because of deranged, or sour stomach. or else because she is failing to get the salt or other mineral matter she needs in her feed. Give her one ounce of common salt and one tablespoon full of ashes in her feed once a day. or perhaps a tablespoonful of the following mixture twice a day in little gronnd feed would correct the trouble: One-fourth pound each of powder nux vomica and dry sulphate of iron and one pound each of pulverized charcoal
