SHOULD COME TOGETHER.

We are sorry to say that the relati ms
and the general public is no longer as
cordial ak it ought to be. and could
be, with proper effort on both sides.
This Is evident from the daily alterca-
lions between passengers and conduc-
tors, First there was the rule regard
ing the stop of the cars on one side OF
the street only. Under this rule patrons
in the unpaved part of the CITY and
the suburbs Were made to cross the
streets IN mud and rain TO reach IL
car, while In the paved district where
the crossing could be effected without
Inconvenience, the cars CONSIDERABLY
are stopped on either side of the street.
Then came the transfer rule by which
passengers are deprived of their right
to u transfer unless they happen to
ask for Il while handing over the fare.
And now 1t seems that the transfer rule
is further strengthened by provision
that makes the little bit of paper use
less in case the car Is beated and
fails to connect with the line the pas
sengers want to take. II Is useless 10
try 10 conoeal the fact that the patience
OF the public is being exhausted by

A BETTER OUTLOOK.

Mr.. Hartman in recent interview
in Washington expressed his opinion
that the business outlook OF tho coun-
try is good, and that there is no reason
for a pessimistic view of the immedi-
ate future. The opinion of Mr.. Harri-
man on such matters has weight with
the public. He based his statement
on the fact that the outlook for an
abundant crop is brighter than 1t has
been for years. and that the farmer has
an unusually good labor market. For
some years. he said, the supply of la
Dor has been so much In demand In
other lines. that tho farmer has been
unable to get help. This year he cal
get plenty of 1t. He will he enabled
not only to put in a larger acreage
than usual. but he will have plenty
of help available when it comes TO
harvesting.
We can only hope that the forecast
VIII prove true. 1t will. provided
the people turn away from the agita-
tors who live on strife and permit the
conditions to remain normal. A house
divided against itself cannot prosper.
That ought TO be one OF the fund
amental principles of national economy
