The figures show the continually increasing need of enlarged ia
clities Of transportation between the lower and the upper parts Of
town. The increase of facilities ought to keep pace with the increas-
ing need. The supply should automatically respond to the demand.
Such service can be attained by competition, but not by regula-
ton, for competition is itself continuous, while regulation acts only
ferfunctorly and at long intervals.
For many years to come the demand for rapid transit up and
down will increase steadily. Common sense, therefore, dictates the
establishment of a competitive service as speedily as possible.

preccdcnls Tor amending and tinkering tornf bills, it would merit
much consideration.
But meantime what is the House doing in the exercise of its
privilege?
Democratic members Of the House are arranging a caucus to fix
plans for the next Congress. No encouraging report comes of prcpar-
ations and plans for immediate work. Yet there are two full months
of good working time left to this Congress, and the next one will not
be in working order for a year to come.
Senator Cummins may be trcspassing on the privileges Of the
House, but he is right in maintaining that tariff redress should begin

time. 1t will be difficult, however, to have the distinction between
shopping and buying clearly defined at this season. Many people,
probably a majority, enter upon the task of making their Christmas
purchases with no idea of what they wish to give to various relatives
and friends. For one or two favorites they know what they wish. The
rest they leave to the hazard of the shopping tour.
Nor are they wholly to blame. At this season all the shops re as
attractive as museums. The novelties arc many and the crowd is
always bright and happy. No wonder many people like to lnger over
the shopping. Still, the advice of our correspondent is good: Buy
promptly before the best goods are gone.
The evening world., 1910-12-15

The keynote Of it all was in the declaration: 81 want to see rdi-
calsm worked out by conservatives"
1t is a fine phrase. Does it mean that tariff reform is to be left
to men like Lodge and Aldrch? Is the trust problem to be turned
over for solution to those that would conserve trusts? Is it to Joe
Cannon that a revision of the House rules is to be committed?
All experience shows that when a conservative carries out a
radical programme he carries it out to bury it. What reform did
Roosevelt carry out when he was President?
The people are tired Of plattudes and Of paradoxes. They wish
reform carried out by reformers.

to the springs. Enroute actual con-

Scouts, advance and rear guards will
