situation - less disturbing than the
bare statement Of lost trips would in
dicate. Whatever the difficulties, street
car service must be supplied to the
people Of Washington. The efficiency
Of the governments war administrative
work depends upon the transportation
Of the thousands in its service daily
without delay. At present the average
ear. rider in the morning and the even
ing is in serious state Of discomfort
and congestion. By far the majority
or those riding are without seats. Many
Of them are in actually dangerous po-
sitions, clinging to inadequate grips
for support and pressed psrilously by
the pack. It is a menace to health,
for the enforced contact exposes null
titudes daily to disease contamination.
The fact that better service is promised
a few weeks hence when the new cars
recently ordered are received does not
comfort or relieve the present sufferers
fl ON this painful and dangerous crowd
ing. If the labor question is acute now
it will be no less so when more cars
are used and more crews are required.
Obviously the remedy for this condi-
ton lies in the line of wage increases
such as those just announced by the
two companies. Only by making the
of labor more equitable and
attractive can the companies hope to
maintain their forces, inadequate now,
upon the basis Of increased car mileage
in the autumn when the new rolling
stock arrives.

Women for Office.

]. Il. MeCoocy, democratic leader Of
Kings county, New York-thc county
in which Brooklyn is situated-pro.
poses . woman for place on this
years democratic state ticket. He
says:
II have NO choice as to what place
she should be nominated for, nor have
any choice az to what woman should
be named. The candidate should be
carefully selected with special regard
to her qualifications, and the Office for
which she shall run should be one
which lends itself most naturally to
administration by woman"
This suggestion will at least be dis
cussed when the democratic state lead
ers meet for conference. 1t is per.
suasive to q degree, and pat with the
situation. The electorate of the state
has been enlarged by the enfranchise-
ment Of women, and both parties are
appealing to them for support in No.
vember.
It the democrats take this step, may
we not see the republicans also take iti
And il New York takes It, may not
other states where women have the
vote likewise take IT.
The whole question Of the partici.
patton Of women in political affairs is
broadening. And naturally and neces-
sarily. The vote is but starter-but
one item in comprehensive program.
To limit the program TO the granting
of suffrage to women would be to de-
feat it. If women are competent to
assist IN choosing oficials, they are
competent to become officials them
selves. Il they are competent to a.
sist in making laws, they are eompe-

from the use Of Foley Kidney Pills. Al A.
Godfrey. Forest Grove, Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action of the kidneys Is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which If permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, rundown men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
joints and fail to realize tina rheuma-
sase may result
If you have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
Inactive you should act Immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been used
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick
" and ely and have given relief
