And 1t has by no means been "show" year. Year in
and year out the and showers fall upon Missouri,
and the breezes come in much the fashion Of this
year. May, in Missouri, is a month to inspire the
poets song. June nowhere has fairer aspect sweet

among ourselves, that July is 'cool month" Let's
boast OF 1t to the peoples of Christendom. And

When the leaves turn, when red and brown fall upon
twig and branch and summer fingers to greet fall in

There should be no Misrepresentation upon the score

none. But, as becomes loyal citizens we should even
make much Of the self-eyident fact.

SIX MILLIONS A WEEK.

If the record Of the past few weeks may be taken
a gauge, the Souths commercial development Is
moving at the rate of three hundred millions In
crease per year in industrial investments The region
to which these figures apply embraces twelve States.
Trade reports from these States for the last half Of
July show that about 200 important new organiza-
lions have sprung into life. involving investments Of
$4,000 to $4,000 EACH and covering wide range
of industry.
Texas heads the list, with new investments re:
ported to the extent Of about 81 for the fort
night the concerns consisting Of cotton compress
panies hardware milling manufacturing, irrigation
and land companies power plants coldstorage plants
and oil and fuel companies. A million and a half IL
by no means startling sum, but when 1t is consid-
cred that 1t marks Industrial increase of but two
weeks, at the rate OF $36OOOO00 per year, It be-
comes significant
Tennessee and Arkansas likewise make q remark
able showing, the former with milling lumber and
mineral development companies the latter with cotton
gins stone companies, chemical works. tile factories
power plants and telephone companies
A growth OF $6.000OO0 week does not represent
sudden squirt. The South's development is by no
means sporadic. 1t attained its present rate By.
gradual increase. The South has continued at approx

AUTOS, DoBBIN AND ENGLAND

AUTOS DOBBIN AND ENGLAND.
Staid old England Is stirred to its very depths and
the reason is automobiles England turned out the
original Dobbin" Shakespeare started the ball roll
ing by saying something about "Dobbin, my fll-
horse" Ever since Dobbn has been sort Of family
for the plug" Dobbn pulled the family chaise
over the countryside; slowly, to be sure apparently
more occupied in ickng away the flies with his tail
than in afordng rapid transit" Dobbin did faithful
duty at the manger. Dobbin was dub" but Dobbin
was held In high esteem, even affection.
Now comes the automobile, rushing the highways
along. killing manning many Dobbin. And Dob
bins champions have arisen An English country gen.
teman goes to Parliament just to have NJ. p. after
his name. When debate grows hot when national pol
icy is at stake these members generally drop into
peaceful sleep. But not in connection with the auto
bill, providing speed limit Of twenty-five miles an
hour.
These country gentlemen would have automobiles
abolished and, not that restricted in speed 80
Dobbin may have chance for his life. They say
that firstly and primarily automobiles were invented
by the devil in person. One terms them road hogs"
The rural members termed ignoramuses blind
to progress and Cabinet Minister declared: ut is
return to the early days Of opposition to railroads.
All Of which argues that the automobiles have come
to stay, but that something must be done out of re-
spect to Dobbn.

GARBAGE REPRESENTATIONS

The action Of the House of Delegates in creating
costly commission to investigate the question of gar
bage disposal Is far from satisfactory Nevertheless
the City Council cannot do otherwise than acauesce
in the amendment for any other course would cause
prolonged war between the two branches of the
Municipal Assembly and In the end the city would be
in position helpless It was in two years ago Il
not in even worse predicament
About the work of the House in this matter there
may be some suspicion. The vote which included the
ayes Of opposition Delegates seemed peculiar perhaps
denotng that the combine has regaIned much OF its
former influence and that undesirable reorganiza-
tion can be accomplished at any time; while the
amendment that was adopted, creating commission
entirely too large, suggests that some extraneous
force may be actuatng certain Delegates
Two years ago the House positively declined TO
enact any special legislation whatever until the last
minute thus putting the city at the mercy Of the con-
tractor who controlled the situation The House does
not now defy public opinion insoently as It did two
years ago. 1t has passed bill looking to the construc-
tion and operation of municipal garbagedisposaI
plant But it has been imprudent to say the least IN
insisting upon commission 80 large that II NAV he
unmanageable.
Should the City Council refuse to concur in the
amendment the House would become irritable The
House would refuse then to pass any other
drawing attention to the bill that it has now passed
with an amendment that is almost grotesque it would
let the garbage question rest it did two years ago.
and finally the city wonld be compelled to renew the
old contract, under possibly more unfavorable terms
and conditions.
There is only one way open to the Council. The
amendment approved by the House must be con-
CURED in that investigation may he started In
doing this the Council win not sacrifice principle but
WIN be exercising diplomacy.
The Council may be confident that 1t will be sup
