THE COST OF LIVING

The public has been inclined to
assume that the recent general adj
sanees in prices involved practically
Ill commodities. But the annual re.
port on wholesale prices just issued
by the bureau Of labor Of the Depart.
ment oil Commerce and Labor makes
II clear that such is by no means the
case.
OF the 257 articles on which whole
sale prices were obtained in 1900. as
many asc 125 showed indeed an in,
crease over the average price that
euled in 1868 But no fewer than 10l
showed a decrease.
The report states further. as re
cards the a57 commodities above re
ferred to, that, though the prices OF
1909 were per cent above the
prices OF 1908, they were still, witt
all this advance, 23 per Q MT below
the average Of 1907
Any satisfaction over these figure!
is considerably qualified, however, by
the fact that prices through tbs
spring of 1910 were higher than al
any time during the twenty years
preceding.
And complaceney over the 10l com
nodities that are stated as having
wholesaled at lower figures in 1870!

we learn more exactly what thos,

OUR STREET RAILWAY.

At the council meeting last night
the mayor was directed to notify the
Cairo Traction Co that 1t must re-
store the Owl car service and other
service which has recently been
eliminated This action is based on
the assumption that the maintenance
Of the owl car service is one of the
requirements of the company's fran
chise ordinance. when it declares that
the company shall continue to give a.
good service as was being given by
the old companies at the time the
present company became owner OF the
properties.
The action of the council will be
generally endorsed by the people Of
Cairo even by those who never have
had occasion, and never expect to
have occasion to use the owl cars;
because the service of the company
has been unsatisfactory for some time
past in other respects.
No doubt all appreciate fully the

heavy expense to reconstruct the
Cairo properties; that its service was
necessarily demoralized during the
period of reconstruction; that the
street improvements have interfered
with the operation of the street cars,
and that the company is called upon
to assume heavy expense on account
of these Improvements. But the peo-
pie of Cairo have been generous with
the company and have borne the in.
conveniences to which they have been
subjected patiently; they too have to
bear heavy burdens on account of the
improvements referred to and do so
cheerflly, with little or no protest;
and they have every right to expect
the company to do its share in this
respect and to give them good service
in consideration of what they have
conceded to the company, andfor the
money they are expected to pay for
such service.
lit is claimed by representatives Of
the company that the receipts of the
street railway have fallen off 30 per
cent since last year. and that those
OF the Interurban line have exceeded
those of the city system. This is
easily accounted for in the poor ser
vice that the people have had in the
city for some time past 1t need not
be assumed that the railway manage
ment is wholly to blame for this poor
service. The street improvements
have interfered much with the car
schedules; but this was only tempo
raTy and there Is no reason why the
service should not be restored to what
it was before, as rapidly as the streets
are paved.
The mistake which the company
seems to make is in assuming that the
falling off in receipts was due to a
changed disposition on the part of
the people, when, as a matter OF fact,
n ii was due to the inferior service. 1t
stands to reason that the people are
