Inquiry Las been made as to what has e.

fhey would give Washington all it needed
of cheap telephones. The question is not
An unreasonable one in view of the prom
ises that were so loudly and SO literally
made and of the necessities which exist
In few American cities the good work OF
tariff reduction has proceeded with graft
flying speed: the first genuine efforts of the
new companies being net with active COM
petition by the Bell companies that UP to
this time have had a very profitable mon
opoly. In some of the smaller towns the
Bell rates have gone down to ten or twelve
dollars year, and it is reliably stated tina t
in one of the little places Bell telephone
service is being furnished free of charge,

sition out of existence. There Is a perfectly
natural desire on the part of all telephone
using Washington to have a rate war in
full blast at the earliest possible moment,
and to this end the people of this COM
munity will encourage all legitimate COM
petition. 1t should be understood however,
at the outset, that the unbending senti-

quently hampered by the non-appropria-
tive shortcomings of the national legisla-
ture. General Casey has nevertheless &C
complished so much good that those who
succeed to the place which today Will be
given another must toll as necessarily ard
as skillfully as he has if they would secure
for themselves regulations like unto his.
The people of the national capital feel a
deep, personal interest in this officer whom
the statute compels to retirement; he has
had charge of great public works in this
city. and has done so well that We're the
District of Columbia all-powerful in gov
ernmental affairs it would retain him on
the active list until he insisted on being
relieved Congress was wise enough to
enact that General Casey should remain in
charge of the new congressional library
building until the completion of that strlc-
ture. so the generals career of public use
fulness Is not entirely at an end. 1t Is to
be hoped that when the national library is
in its new home other important employ
ment will be provided by the government
for one of the most faithful servants the
army of the United States ever gave to
the republic.

One of the most effective ways to bring
the ionged-for good times to Washington.
Is for the residents of the District to buy
within the District all they need of food
and clothing and furniture and fuel and the
hest of odds and ends that are needed to
make existence pleasurable. 1t would be
very astonishing to the general public were
1t made plain that quite a considerable pro-
portion of the well-to-do jewellers in this
city steadily spend large sums of money in
Baltimore Philadelphia and New York for
the purchase of material which might be
bought in this city quite as cheaply and
quite as satisfactorily. Fifteen or twenty
years ago Washington was undoubtedly de-
hcient as to opportunities for the invest
ment of money in the thousand and one
Things essential to human comfort but

pie of Washington should patronize Wash

compel the burial of all overhead wires

the bounds Of the District-which should he

majority of citizens, and if-having an I'M
Objectionable equipment-it sells the right
to telephone conversation at figures ma
terially less than those that are now in
sisted upon, it will doubtless be heavily
patronized. With telephones at twenty-five
dollars a year the number of subscribers
would be tremendously increased. At that
rate telephones would no longer be re-
garded as luxuries.

Portsmouth and Berkeley are con.
Solldated into one corporation and
Richmond, Manchester and their
suburbs are not. Norfolk and not
Richmond will be ''the largest city

How would Richmond people like
that?
Not much, we guess.

.'IkOw 40 MAKE: pRuSPEE:-
GUS YEAR"

The Louisville Cuutier-Journal is
clearly of the opinion that 1t is
within the power of the people to
make the present year u prosperous
one. aud offers, among others, the
following suggestions:
The way to make II prosperous
year is TO make it. Quit borrowing
trouble. Quit c%onjuring up hard
times. Remember that the sun will
shine. the rains will fall, health and
strength are yours, and that your
fortune is with yourself and not with
the stars."
1t believes that the continual cry
OF hard times did as much to pro-
long the stagnation Of business as
any other one cause it could anne
and regrets that even now, when the
the worst Is over, that there are
those who continue TO indulge III
the folly. The way to make the
year n prosperous one is to go to
work. Stop growing and meet the
diliculties:as they,nrise with acheer.
tul determination to surmount
them.
To be sure, every man hes diff
cnltles to encounter sooner or later in
lie, but don't get upon the house
top ana proclaim your troubles to
the ncighborhood. 1t will do you
no good and they are unpleasant TO
hear.
Inc fellow who goes up and down
The streets and pours his troubles in
the ear of every one he meets,
makes u mistake. There are those,
however. who do this very thing,
and no good ever ONO of il. What
is the use of crying hard times? 1t
does not make things any better,
and especially is it out of place now
that matters are looking mp, and in
u short time, with proper care, the
hard times will be i thing of the
past.
