the result has already been felt in Des Moines and it will be felt vastly more before the coining winter is over. Public utilities should be forced to render proper public service, but they should be paid for it. just as sny other commodity is paid for, and they should be supported by the public on the correct theory that the more their revenues are the better they can do by the people. A public utility ia a natural monopoly and anything which nters into competition with it is against the public interest. The American people are going to icaru this in time, and let us trust that tiey will learn it by watching developments at Ies Moines. The experiifoce of one city should suffice for ail.

A BAD HOVE. The Des Moines plan of using jitney ft instead of street cars has aroused -.t-niderab'.e interes-t in the Calumet region where, the street cars are having much trofcu'e In making both end 3 meet. The Fort Wayne News is not seriously iraprefsed with jitney service and g-oea on to eay: "The new broom .sweeps clean even when made of common straw. Des Moines reports th.nr the loss of her streetcar lines has not seriously affected traffic and that the jitneys and motor busses are managing to take care of those demanding transportation. And fur the next two or three weeks, no doubt, all will be well. The people are taken with the novelty of the thing, submit tn Inconveniences they wisuld bitterly protest if a -part of street car service, and reaMy Imagine that a ranacea has been found. But wait a little while. Wait until the unseasonable weather, whn transportation is most needed, sets in and a sad alteration will be noted. About that time a number of the Jitney drivers will be net-ding new tirea for their lizzies and will be disgusted with their venture anyhow. It will not have proved as profitable as they hoped, so thy will either cease operations altogether or operate only wh"n the weather is fine. They are not under bond to maintain service, so they naturally will not maintain It when maintenance means a loss. They will not take the bad with the good. They want only the cream. And let a hard winter ensue, a winfpr rf hitter rold, of snow and of sleet, and Des Moines will be up against the worst proposition she ever dreamed of. Automobiles under such circumstances simply cannot render the. service that street cars can render and that which they do offer must be at a greater cost, a jitney driver Is not going to sp-nd five dollars to get In four, especially when it means the exposure of his person to the rigors of bitter weather. A jitney service that is not dependable and which is not financially responsible f ir the damage it may do to the persons and property of citizens, will never satisfactorily take the place rj a street car system, properly bonded and possessed of a franchise, imposing upon it certain hard and fast obligations. The street car company may have its failings and Its shortcomings, but It is always on hand, and In a pinch is a decidedly vnleuable asset. There 1.3 another phase of th matter which must not be forgotten and and That is the effect upr.rt property values. Troperty values in all outlying districts are dependent to a very large degree upon the transportation facilities and when these facilities are unbound and undepenrlable, subject to the caprice, whim, cr personal interest of their operators, we may dep-nd upon it that property values are going to suffer. No doubt

OUR SOUND BASIS. The foundations of American prosperity are as sound as ever they were. Hight now the principal food crops, harvested or growing, approximate 5,7?,,(itni.fMirt bushels of wheat, corn, oats, rye. rice, potatoes, apples, peaches, buckwheat, barley, etc. There is the substance of our living and it is far from a famine, out ii ok that is presented. More, it is the basis rd the gigantic industry and commerce that pulsate and

1 How throughout our land from one end of the year to

the ether. Whatever the relative scarcity may be. however slack general business may appear there is no stopping business. These enormous crops of themselves wake a prodigious demand for every article of commerce which we know. Their growers mu:t be supplied with a multiplicity of things. Though the farmers be not lavish in there expenditures, they cannot i iose up thrir purses entirely. They do not pretend to do so. And the greater proportion of these crops will be consumed far from where they are produced. They must be hauled, most of them by railroad or steamboat. Their distribution from primary points and the transformation of the grains at least into consumable form will provide vnork for millions;. All this should and we may have confidence that ii will give impulse to every factor of business, reluctant as some people may be to move until the irresistible tide sweeps them along. "There is nothing doing" Is the prevalent expression. Is that so? Not by any reasonable test that may be applied. Th I'nited States Steel corporation reports a falling off of unfiled orders for July amounting to 287. a44 tons. If this figure represents the product delivered last month there was something doing in the mills. Quite likely there would have been a better showing wero human beings less prone to act on suggestions. The person who says "there is nothing doing" not only is not likely to strive to start anything, but he will deter others. Mark Twain once said. "I dislike work even when another person does' it which may. because it is the habit of men. cause a lot of foolish ones to shirk work until they are driven to laboring. There is a great deal being done. There would be a great deal more If all the people would take the farmers for their models and keep going. The farmers fissure us food, but we cannot lire satisfactorily by farmers' labor alone.

AUTOMOBILES BROADEN FARM LIFE. That "the autdmobile has been a potent factor In relieving the farmer of the Isolation which was such a drawback to rural life In former years has long been recognized.' But its broadening influence is now showing Itself in a new way. Farmers are being persuaded through their possession of motor cars to take long trips and see what is being done in other parts of the country. More and more of them are taking tents with them and camping at night instead of going to hotels. Such tours have great value. They are educational in ways that are not suspected. While the travelers are supposedly concentrating their attention on agricultural things they are at the same time acquiring Information, which will be useful to them, concerning many other matters. And with it all they are refreshing themselves physically as well as mentally.
