Why are pain. sorrow and sin in the
world? We can answer this question just
about as well now, in this Goth century OF
grace, as Tubal Cain or Noah could have
answered it in their days.
Archbishop Whately calls this "the prob
lem of the ages"
But, without claiming TO be able TO solve
the eternal riddle. we can ut least see that
there Is one use of trouble, and that is TO
reveal the stuff we're made Of.
Danger is revealer. In the hour Of ship
wreck the man we thought flippant idler
during sunny days suddenly develops n
sublime heroism that astounds us, while the
big. boasting. clustering fellow is discovered
to be a poltroon.
You can tell the composition of the sun by
the spectrum. and by the same means deter
mine the component parts of any metal
brought TO n white heat. So when n soul
is white hot its real nature leaps forth.
The hospital nurse knows people as no
one else can know them. When the fire
of anguish seizes the frame il is she that
sees the delicate woman bear herself nobly
and the strong man cringe and cry like a
baby.
| A certain woman had conducted herself
in such way as TO shock the community.
They were discussing her with scant charity
at meeting of ladies" Then up spoke
one woman and said:
Nothing that any of you can say can
ever make me believe she is not good,
true, wonderful woman. have been with
her when the deepest trouble that can befall
woman came to her, and / know. She
may smoke cigarets and go to champagne

The Public Service Commission

theoretically the state public service commission is the
great watchdog of the people, the guard that prevents the
big public utility corporations from gouging the public
Actually the public service commission is nothing of the
kind
The records prove the Washington public service commits
sion to be the friend of the utility corporations the little
brother of the rich"
In the gas of last year. in the phone rate
early this the Tacoma and Spokane street fare
and in dispute between the public and the big
corporations the public service commission has been the
job to protect the private interests 1t has not ruled for
the people in a single instance.
In the phone which the commission decided against
the people in February of this year. it admitted by the
company that the Seattle company earning at least
per cent The rate increase granted just the
under the plea however, that Bureson in control and
could enforce rate boost if he desired But just the
minute Buresons control gimmered, the commission mott
fled the phone to hurry with petition to
tnue the high rate The company hurried and the
mission made the increased rate permanent. Claims by
company agents that this surplus goes to pay ad
in wages for phone girls, utterly false.
There two members the commission that is
hearing complaints against the Seattle phone and gas
service These the first of real Importance
before the commissioners. 1t remains to be
whether they will make history by really serving the
public stick to the werodden paths of sery the
big corporations.

Cooperative Building

II Is inst rs logical for an individual to floor,
mart of a floor of a building n lot on street
If this is then why is il that there is not more CO.
operative building in this country?
The idea particularly applicable to apartment houses
inst now when dwelling places sorey needed in these
cities.
Around Gramercy Park, New York, there are number
of large apartment houses owned in cooperative way by
the persons who occupy them. "
The practice is quite common IN Greater New YORK to
those would otherwise be tenants TO JOIN together ana
build occupy and a structure in common .
There are builders and real estate promoters IN New
York who erect apartment houses and sell them at COM
pletion on n cash time plan to occupants
But we have never heard of the idea finding its way
westward to any extent :.
We are told that six-Suite apartment house. incudng
land would represent investment of about $4,000
This means that each owneroccupan would carry $1,000
as his share the investment $500 If the property
were mortgaged for so per cent.
The cooperators naturally form themselves into stock
ship of an individual apartment in the of deed
representing the ownership of a house and lot.
The apartment house is becoming very common means
of abode in America.
Just economic around the high land values
of great cities for apartment houses being built IN
the smaller cities where land values low.
Housewives find them solution of the domestic labor
probem-all or in part.
The apartment house is congestion but scientific con-
gestion-decent congestion for purposes of in
living.
They Objectionable for the bringing Of young
children properly built and arranged with play space
the for bad weather and in the yard for good
weather.
There are few apartment houses the country
where persons without children not permitted to become
tenants, rather than the other way around
