Service, Not Profit

Perhaps that jolt delivered by the state bureau of
accOuntancy will shake the Tacoma park board out
of the mistaken notion, which has been common to
city hall politicians before, that public institutions
are to be run for profit-and service be damned
The bureaus report shows a net profit OF ST.
1880 ON business of $23,646 at Point Defiance
park during 1917. At the same time the report
shows startling falling off in the attendance at the
park during the year.
Before now The Times has pointed out the fall
lacy and injustice of shifting the financial burden
of maintaining public service institutions from
out-of-town taxpayers who own property in the
spectators and shoudering it upon Tacoma
residents and home owners.
That was when The Times put stop to the prac-
tce of extravagant city hall politicians of juggling
profits from the city light department to make up
for shortages in the general fund. Lower light
rates to Tacoma home owner was the result.
1t will be well for the park board before the sum-
mer season begins to get wise to itself. Point De-
fance park must be operated for the SERVICE Of
its patrons at cost and for nothing else.
Squeezing extra nickels and dimes won't go.

But over the top is just the start.
What drains the grains of a fellows sand
Is the long, long stretch of No Mans Land,
Where you may not hurry, nor waste your BREATH
But lope along In the rain of death,
Where the many fall that the few survive
To draw the sting of the hostile hive,
Where you can't hit back, but must plug along
To come to the finish staunch and strong.
Not yet, not yet have you done your bit;
Not yet, not yet, have you made your hit.

And now, after all you have dared and done.

But the. fellows who count, out of all the bunch

CARFARES TAKEN TO
COURT BY 1. Bean

OLYMPIA, March 6.--The state
supreme court has taken to itself
the right to decide whether the
T. r. & P. can raise its fares to
more than cents and whether
the street car company can break
its franchise contracts with Taco
ma to pay the city a certain per-
centage of its gross receipts, to
pave its right of way and to pay
for the upkeep of bridges it uses.
After Louis Bean, manager of
the company, had taken his fight
for higher car fare to the supreme
court yesterday, that court issued
an order commanding the public
service commission either to give
what Louis Bean wants, or to APP
pear March 16 and show cause
why 1t hasn't done so.

Dear Miss Grey:
The parting soldier should
give the last kiss to his moth
er, IL sweetheart and mother
are present. II he has a wife
and mother present, 1t should
be given to his wife.
A soldier can have only one
mother, but he can have more
than one sweetheart.
He knows how brave his
mother is, but at the battle
front, or when In pain In the
hospital, he will first think of
mother. II he gives the last
kiss to his sweetheart, mother
will smile, although she may
feel the pain at her heart, and
forgive her son right there, be-
cause her love for him is an
unselfish love, and she under
stands the natural laws. Be-
sides, she will say to her heart,
ut is not the last kiss. l will
meet him again"
My only child, a son, enlist
ed in the navy in the east last
October. 1t is a year since l
have seen him last. I have
cried bitter tears because |
have been unable to see him.
He has a sweetheart, and she
received the parting kiss, BUT

REALLY THE LAST KISS.
His ship leaves this month.
