story Of Rev. Henry Roilings, who told
of witnessing in a vision the death of

many humans are gifted with powers
of clairvoyancy, and that the process
is entirely natural with them.

Business in Midsummer.

1t is possible that 10 per cent of
the regular population of Washing
ton goes away during the summer
for a period long enough to be dig
nifed with the name of vacation.
But il is not at all likely that any
thing like that proportion gets out
Of town at any one time. There is
no month in the year when this is
u city of less than 100000 people.
Out in the hustling town of Kan
sas City, which is about the same
size as Washington, they have as a
community motto the sentiment,
Keep something going on" 1t
would be an excellent sentiment for
the business interests of this town.
The truth is that the summer dull
ness in trade is largely a matter Of
psychology. People have got too
much into the habit of assuming
that the midsummer must be dull;
and, ergo, it is dull. The same
agreement that the summer is not
to be considered dull. would bring
very different conditions. -
1t is true that different business
methods are needed to keep some
thing going on" in summer. Some
resourcefulness in ideas and meth
DDS is required to overcome the
inertia of settled conviction that it
is bound to be dull during the hot
test part of the summer. But the eff
fort is worth the while, for an in
crease of business effected in this
season is worth more than at any
other time of the year.
Only recently, and at the height
of the heated term, a Washington
merchant by making attractive Of
ferings got into his establishment
n crowd of buyers larger than he
had ever entertained on a single
day. not excepting the rushes of the
holiday season. That should be eff
fective demonstration that the PEG
pie are here, and that they will buy
if properly interested.
An especial inducement TO effort
in maintaining the volume of bust
ness in summer, should be found in
the fact that large share of peo
pie have more money in summer
than in winter, or rather, that they
have fewer demands on theil
money. Living is cheaper. Beyond
this, employment for the mass o.
laboring people is more steady anC
certain in summer than in winter
True, the appeal to buyers mus
be varied with conditions and sea
sons. But the variation is wei
worth while, for to the extent thar
it succeeds in its purpose, it over
comes the tendency, to make tn,
summer dull by assuming in advances
that it must be dull. The merchan

As TO Public Ownership.

The commission which the Civic
Federation sent TO Great Britain TO
study municipal ownership has
made exactly the sort of report that
could have been expected. The con-
illusions of the commission have no
real value because each commits
sioner presents an argument to
bolster up his preconceived views.
1t was hardly to be expected that
Walton Clark, vice president of the
notorious u. G. l., of Philadelphia,
would easily be moved TO see advan-
tage in municipal ownership;
neither that Charles L. Edgar, presi-
dent of the Edison Company, of
Boston, would present an argument
in favor Of the city of Boston con-
demning his corporations property
and taking It over. The reports Of
this sort of experts are the worst
testimony, for these men are expert
enough TO know how to engineer an
inquiry and how to marshal the ar
guments in order best to strengthen
the case they, of course, want to
make In favor Of private ownership.
II is, for instance, edifying to be
assured that these gentlemen favor
"some form of regulation of private
companies" OF course, they do;
preferably the hnd which Mr..
Clark's company enjoys in Philsdel-
phia; the kind it orders the city
government TO presc ribe for it.
NJ. r. Maltbie, now a member of
the public utilities commission of
New York, finds that municipal
ownership has made lower capitali-
cation, lower interest rates, better
service, and cheaper prices for the
product possible. Every municipal
plant, he says, laid aside a larger
share Of earnings to maintain or
extend the plant. or to pay of
debts, than did any privately owned
concern. This seems to get 20 the
bottom of the matter. The pri-
vately owned company does not
want 70 pay of its debts; it is seek
ing rather means of increasing them
in orderrto justify the highest pos
sible price for its service, while the
publicly owned concern has just as
strong a selfish reason for wanting
to get out of debt.
Messrs. Clark and Edgar represent
the corporation view of Philadelphia
and Boston, the two cities in which
there has been VIGOROUSLY more
scandal and corruption in connec
ton with private operation of light
ing plants than anywhere else in this
country. They are about as compe
tent witnesses in a scientific inquiry
Of this sort as the devil would be IL
a critical discussion of Christian
theology. The report of a divided
commission-divid now just al
when it entered upon its work-car
have no weight except to discredi'
the whole effort of the Civic Fedora
ton. The cheap appeal to American
insularity and prejudice which these
distinguished representatives of pri
vate monopoly make in their dec
laration that private ownership il
the american system" and tha
therefore the burden Of proof Ii
heavily upon those who would pro
pose another idea, is typical of theil
entire presentation.
