Hot Weather in August.

The weather for August has been
of the hottest kind and it broke the
record of the past five years On
two days the government thermome-
ter went above the 100 mark, reach
ing l02 on the 18th and lOl on the
10th Since the 23rd the heat has
decreased and cool nights and days
have prevailed. On the morning Of
the 9th the thermometer registered
at 43 degrees above zero. The pre-
cipitation for the month was above
the normal, and amounted to q. SO
inches. The rain came in two
lunches, the first nine days of the
month rain coming every day but
two, when the moisture amounted to
800 inches and on the 22d. 23d, and
Oath it amounted to l.76 inches. AS
d general thing the weather Of the
month was good for the growing
crops and it remained dry long
enough after the first rainy spell to
permit the harvest to be compeletd.

In an appeal to the American people
the Standard Oil company makes
the statement that the attacks upon
its methods in this country have
been translated abroad as attacks
upon its oil, and that it is in danger
of losing Its export trade. while the
'lareely increased stock of petroleum
in this country emphasizes the
necessity Of extending rather than
%curtalling this output
Here is a cunning bit OF literary
work. a syllogism which is ~calcultad
to brighten the American producer

country to be disposed of abroad.

methods OF the company are con-

MAKING OUT A CASE

The democratic party ii South

der 20 work on this year and in the
absence Of ANYTHING else ti1ey have
taken up the administration of
Ex-Governor Lee as something to
enthuse their party and TO show the
illeged Weakness of the republican
party. In comparing the adminis-
tratlons OF Lee and Eirod that iemo-
cratic papers are asserting the Gov
ernor Elrod's tenure o. Office was
more% expensive TO the people OF the
state by 81 225, DOC than y 5 ex Gov
ernor Lees. The mele assertion
OF the statement does not make it
fact and the papers do not - into

The Pierre DAILY Dakotan has

also grossly unfair. The appfOpria

they were 81. $50, 1897 The differ
ence is thus not 81 ,225. 600 but
s472, 4l6. 90. An analysis of the
figures, however tells a different
story. The Lee administration left
TO its successor unpaid bills amount
ing to over 500, 900 Three new
state Institutions were created which
cost the Elrod administration
SIZE, 900 to maintain. The State
institutions under Lee cost 1890. ago
and under Elrod s6l2, $50. Thus Ell.
rod had to pay 1922, 800 more to
maintain the old state institutions
than did Lee and had on bis hands
three more which cost 1926, 600 to
maintain which makes a total Of
S348, 399. Giving the Elrod admins

and charging Lee with bills incurred
and unpaid. and we find that the
ElrOo Administration was within

though meanwhile the assessment

millions and the taxpayers by
thousands.
Here is another way to put it
Had the cost Of the Lee administra.

the tax would have been 4.O5 mills

administration it would have been
3.9 mills. In spite of it's increased
expenditures for necessary purposes
the:.state has been paying its debts
without increasing the burden onl
the taxpayer, and on the first OIL
January, Governor Elrod will be
able to turn over to his successor a
state without a bonded or floating
debt-a showing of which the repnb-
lican party has ample reason t. feel
proud.

William j. Bryan made a trip up to
the New England states, presumably
for the purpose Of showing the good
old democrats in that corner Of the
country how he looked after his re-
construction--after declaring that
tho trust question was the para
mount issue 10 the coming presiuen-
tial campaign and that, too, he had
been converted over to the govern
ment ownership OF railroads. Tie
attitude OF Mr.. Bryan on the trust
question was accepted with consid-
cradle pleasure, but when it came to
advancing the theory Of government
ownership Of railroads, it caused the
New EnRlanders to step sideways.
They are net ready to accept his the
DRY as the correct solution Of how to
handle the railroads of the country.
The New York democratic papers
did not take kindly to that portion
of Mr.. Bryan's address, and while
they we're ready to admit of his re-
newed strength IN the east, since it
was announced from foreign shores
that he vas now the calm Nh.
Bryan, lacking The fatal theories of
1886 and 1900, they discovered after
his New York address that his gov
ernI ent ownership of railroad theory
put him to the bad nearly as much as
his silver theories. The papers were
free to say that Mr.. Bryan would not
do as the democratic candidate in
1908 with such stock in trade, and
they spoke quite freely OF the loss
he bad sustained since advancing
that argument.

HOW MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
SUCCEEDS.

Minneapolis Tribune: Glasgow.
Scotland, is reported by the munich
pal ownership people to have naue a
grand success OF the municipal owner.
ship and operation OF various publ
utilities. There is some dispute about
the degree Of Gee the city has
met With in operating its street rail-
way lines and some other enter
pIises.
1t seems to be to a certain extent a
bookkeeping problem. II the books
are kept IN a o way they show a
profit to the municipality; IL in tile
way that TIE accounts of private cor
porations are usually nandleetbe pro-
dt becomes a matter of some du.
bfety. But in one line Of public
utility at least the Glasgow authoIi-
ties have determined, after six years
of experiment, that municipal opera
ton does not pay.
This is the telephone. The city
has spent over s1,0O0, 600 on the un-
dertaking and found itself confront
ed with the necessity OF spending
half as much more with no prospect
Of profits that would warrant the ex-
penditure. Rather than plunge more
deeply into a doubtful or losing ven
ture. the city decided to sell the tele-
phone business to the government,
and TUNED 1t over to the %postof1ce
department.
In selling out the city accepted a
loss Of 500, 900, which IS itself a con-
fession that this form of public en-
terprise was not profitable. 1t would
seem that the %postofice department
was better qualified to conduct the
Telephone business, since 1t is Or
gantzed to facilitate communication,
but we are not yet advised as to
what success it has had with the
Glasgow telephones.
The success Of municipal or govern
meDt ownership depends, as in pri-
vate business, upon adaptation and
management Some cities will fail
where Others succeed, and the same
city may fail in some lines and sue
coed in Others. AS d rule it will be
found that the demand for public
ownership and operation strongly
arises only when the corporations
carrying on public utilities fail in
efficiency or are %exorbItant in the
charges for service.
The vast majority Of the voters
would rather not bother with the
service enterprises, If they can get a
square deal from the people who are
carrying them on. But il they get
the notion that they are being i'm
posed upon and plundered, they are
apt to try to take matters into their
own hands. The lesson to the pri-
vate corporation is that fairness aud
moderation pay best in the end.

William J. Bryan was accorded a
reception in New York Thursday
that was a great demonstration to
give a private citizen. MIR. Bryan's
tour OF the world, and the fact
that he is being proomed as a
presidential candidate all added to
the spontaneous enthusiasm which
found vent on the occasion OF his
home coming. His address in Madi-
o Square garden in New York
was listened to by 10000 people-all
that could crowd into the vast
auditorium. His speech is regarded
as the Keynote of the democratic
campaign for 1908, although MI.
Bryan declared what he said on this
occasion was but bis personal views.
yet if he is the democratic candidate
in 1908 his views will make the
national platform for democracy.
Mr.. Bryan declared that the trust
proposition was the paramount issue
in the coming campaign. That is
true, and President Roosevelt today
is making it a paramount issue in
much more than a theoretic way
real actually is the Thing with the

ment ownership Of railroads. Mr..
