CONTROL OF OUR PUBLIC
SERVICE COMPANIES.

The proposal for effective control of
W@hington's public service corpora
lions raises an issue of more than
local significance. It offers the Ad-
ministration, Congress, and the people
Of the District of Columbia an oppor-
tunity to present here, in the Capital
Of the Nation, ar object lesson which
would be of enormous value to every
municipality and to every State in the
country.
Primarily, Washington's public serv-
fre corporations should be controlled
and regulated for the benefit of the
people of this community. Incidentally,
their control and regulation would help
other communities that are struggling
with the same problems.
With the Districts nationwide repu-
tation for the widest and cleanest
streets, the biggest and handsomest
public buildings, the largest, most
numerous, and most artistic parks
these should be a nationwide reputa-
ton for economic and effective ad-
ministration of affairs of government
One of the most important questions
of this character is that pertaining to
the control and regulation Of public
service corporations.
There is no good reason for the
present lack of effective control and
regulation of public utility companies
in Washington. Congress has unques.
toned power to provide the needed
legislation. No issue can be raised as
to the division of local and Federal
authority, for there is but one
authority here. 1t is possible, prac-
teal, and surely desirable, that ad-
vantage be taken Of the information

FOSS GAINING GROUND IN
MASSACHUSETTS.

According to John Snure, political
staff correspondent of The Washington
Times, who has been up in Boston in
vestigating political conditions in the
Bay State, Eugene n. Foss, Democrat,
is to be the next governor of NIassa-
chusetts.
This forecast caused considerable
surprise when published in Washington
yesterday. When conditions in Massa-
chusetts are carefully considered, how
ever, it must be admitted that, from
this distance, the Foss chances seem
good. Mr.. Snure outlined Mr.. Foss
platform as follows:
Free raw materials for our industries
Untaxed food supplies for our people
Lower duties on the necessaries of life
An income tax, that q large part OF the
burden OF the cost Of government may
be borne by those best able 70 bear It.
Reciprocity with Canada and our best
customers. Direct nominations. Con-
servation Of our national resources.
Other Democratic candidates for
gOyernorships are running on plat
forms that should appeal as strongly
to the people as Mr.. Foss' platform
appeals to the people of Massachusetts,
but it must be remembered that Mr.
Foss is a Democrat who has performed
The people of Massachusetts, know
that when Foss advocates a specific re-
form he means what he says, and viii
practice what he breaches if he has a
chance. Foss has been tried and
found not wanting. He's been to the
mill and got his grist.
When to the personality record and
reputation of the candidate is added
the dissatisfaction of the masses in
Massachusetts, with the performances
Of the Republican organization, State
and national, the prediction that Foss
viii be elected does not strike one as
particularly remarkable.

POLITICAL CALAMITY BOGIE
PLAYED OUT.

The political calamity boyle is mani
testify played out. On the eve of an
election which most people think viii
give the Democrats control of the
House, and in which, if they win, they
must win on the tariff issue, there is
not in any quarter a serious suggestion
Of menacing business disturbance OF
impending disaster because of the pros
pective change.
Two reasons may be assigned for
this. First comes the set of facts
concerning the fundamental prosperity
of the country, which were officially
reflected in the statistics of the Octo-
Der crop report, issued on October 10.
Second, nobody any longer suspects
that the Democratic party, given the
opportunity, would attempt to impose
free trade policy. under the guise
OF a tariT-fOr-revenue-only policy,
upon the nation.
The first of these two reasons for
the comPlacence with which the coun-
try views a probable political revolu-
ton is the more important.
It viii be recalled that the crop sea-
son of 1910 was far from an ideal one.
Floods in some parts Of the country,
droughts in other parts, and disastrous
symptoms widely reported seemed to
justify, during the early part of the
crop season, the expectation Of con-
siderably sub-normal yield of agri-
cultural staples. All summer business
conditions reflected the uneasiness that
was everywhere felt because of the fear
for the years crop. The stock mar
ket, the wholesale and retail marts,
the exchanges, all told the same story
Of fear that, if the soils product
should be sharply curtailed, the year
might end with an unfavora5le balance
of trade, or, at best, a very small
favorable balance, which would necessi-
tate extensive gold exports and pre-
! cinita+e n seriOus CONTRACTING of the
currency supply.
There was plenty Of evidence that
the business community was seriously
concerned about these things. There
has been no evidence whatever of its
perturbation about anything involved
in the political situation.
Beginning with August the Govern
ment crop reports brought evidence
that the earlier pessimism about crop
conditions had exaggerated the stu
alton. The September report indicated
a still further improvement, and when
on October 10, the great, determine
tive crop manifesto of the year was
put out, it indicated that far from
justifying gloomy anticipation, the
farm had probably broken all records in
the aggregate value of its production
and that what had been expected tc
turn out a bad crop was, in fact, or
of the two or three greatest, and pos.
sibly the greatest, ever produced il
the country.
And of this the explanation is not
difficult to find. We have raised 6
bumper crop in a bad year because we
are farming better than ever before
Sensible and scientific methods are
being everywhere applied to agricuI-
ture. The farmer has come into his
own. That reinsurance concerning the
results of his years work, which came
with the full returns from the thresher:
and the cotton pickers, has vastly
more than csermet any misgivings
which might have found justification
in the anticipation of political changes

G. M. HUNT DELIVERS
INTERESTING ADDRESS

G. NJ. Hunt, representing the Interna-
tional Bible Students. an association,
claiming to be in harmony with the en-
tire Bible, delivered All interesting ad-
dress in the knights OF Columbus hall
Sunday afternoon before a large audi
ence. Mr.. Hunt is now touring the coun-
try under the auspices OF the Bible asso-
citation and thus far has delivered quite
a number OF interesting and highly in
structive lectures In various cities.
Mr.. Hunt confined his remarks Sunday
to what the scripture has clearly taught
us. In brief, he said that the church is
the temple of the living God, peculiarly
His workmanship, and that its construc-
ton has been In progress throughout the
gospel age ever since Christ became the
worlds redeemer and the chief corner
stone OF His temple. through which. when
finished. Gods blessings shall come 10 all
people and they find access to Him. That
in the meantime the chiseling. shaping
and polishing OF the consecrated believ-
ers In Christ's atonement OF sin and
progress will go on. and when the last
Of these shall have been made ready. the
Master Will bring all together In the first
resurrection. and the temple shall be
filed with glory, and be the meeting
place between God and men throughout
the millennium.
