Now that We are sctiyely In the war

g1assd; are being mAtmed for life, II
wo~Ad seem that every woman In the

however small 1t may be, and whether
X b great or small II Ia OF importance
tAat each shall perform her part TO
Tho utmost Of her ability.
Some oan buy Liberty Bonds, some

some oan only help by conserving the

cnixing In household expenditures,
thus nberating and augmenting the
essentials which must BIO sent over

for the destitute Civilian population Of

I'm whatsoever way each woman or

There is no progress or gain of any sort in
prizefighting. 1t is only catering to the animal in
man since that time when he dwelt in and got
what he could by brute force.
John L. Sullivan was great inrespect of brute
force. He licked the bodies of men as fast as they
stood up to him. He was here. He has gone, and
his lickings mean little. But in some Of his vic
tories, in some of his characteristics there is that
which should live long after him.
After years of habitual dissipation, he won over
John Barleycom. The prize-rng has no such bat.
tie, no such victory. Any man who cOnquers self
is an example to be honored.
Again, he was always square man. Those who
felt his heaviest blows testify to it. The prizering
followers, not often particular to justice, moral
ity and humaneness, unanimously vote that he was
always Square in his business
He was but prize-fghter he drank like a fish,
he was finally conquered. All thru his life there
temptations and opportunities to gain by being
unfair, by taking mean advantage. Yet he was al
ways square" He leaves nothing tangible, last
ing and helpful thru his physical career The moral
example that he leaves is truly great. What if
every of us, in our business life, were always
square? We can well forget John L. Sullivan, the
muscled brute, and remember to advantage John l..
Sullivan, the true man.

the nerve to start talking about

Clever Ethel, educated at an

father, shrugged her pretty
shoulders and said what do I
care about such things? That's
for others to think about, not
our bunch. Imagine Billy with

These had been my senti-

Then all at once a cartoon

FIGHTING Over Hereafter

Congress is going to waste a lot of time and jaw
work over the period of control and rate fixing
power of the railroad control bill.
The personnel of congress will be changed before
the war ends and plan can be secured for return
of the railroads to private control
Centralized government control may prove so adj
vantageous to the country that effort to return the
roads to private control will be futile at any time.
Certain it is that the return will not be return to the
old system. The country will not stand for that.
One of the first jobs of peace times will be the max
ing of the railroads public servants, and no more
less and that's labor with which the present con-
gress will have nothing to do.
What sense in this session of congress legslating
on postbellum matters Peace will bring altogether
new conditions and, undoubtedly, some very radi-
cal changes in public demands. The administration
bill would have government control terminate with
II Is months after the war. That period is unim
portant as any, Well probably have change in
even the administration within Is months after the
war. The more fighting matters to come after
the war the less necessary legislation we will get
during the war.

Dear Miss Grey: About four
months ago a supposed-to-be
army man came to this mill
town where we live. He and
the head man of the company
our men folk work for went out
at the noon hour and put up
quite a talk to the men, urging
them to sign the Loyal Legion
of Loggers and Lumbermen,
saying it in no way obligated
them to stay at any certain
place of employment.
A few days ago a couple Of
the men who signed up quit
here and went to another place
where they could have eight
hours and more wages than
this company would pay. The
company here makes its men
work 10 hours. Just as soon
as this company located the
men at the other mill they
wired the mill employing them
to discharge them at once and

Submit the Question

The Times can see no reason in the world why the
people of this city should not vote at the coming
election on the question of taking over the Tacoma
Railway & Power Co.'s street car system as a
municipal utility.
Let the council submit the proposition, fairly
drafted and let the men and women who pay the
fares say to whom they prefer to hand them, the
city or Stone & Webster.
All manner of arguments are going to be made
against the city's taking over the car lines by per-
sons who always mistrust the ability good sense and
intelligence of the public to accomplish any end.
>, They will say that 1--WE are making the car serv
ice the football of politics." LAS tho it were not
that now.)
They will say we cannot finance it.
They will say it will cost more to operate the
cars under public ownership that under the pri-
vate regime. Maybe it will. Also it is well known
that the T R. & p. Co. is just about to make grand
effort to bring 6-cent fare, anyhow. And even if
it should cost more under city ownership we might
get needed extensions, better service heat in the
cars and few other necessities for our money.
But these questions can be threshed out in the
campaign The thing now is to that the question
is submitted so that they can be threshed out at ALL
And the manner in which the question is framed
for presentation to the public is as important as
the decision to submit it.
