may prove so costly as to render them
prohibitive. On these manifestly es-
sential points the statement attributed
TO Mr.. Burbank is silent Many times
scientists have asserted, in perfect good
faith. that some forms of plant life
would enable the world to realize utility
much easier than by the ordinary proc
esses. 1t may be recalled that a half
century ago the world was startled
with the announcement that a chemist
had succeeded in making sugar out of
old rags, and that the process was very
simple. That was all true; but the world
is still deriving its sugar from cane,
beets. and the maple tree as of yore.
A score of hbers have been exploited
to supplant cotton. chief among them
ramie. but while ramie could be pro-
duced with half the effort required to
grow cotton, no process has yet been
evolved that will rid the fiber of wax
and permit its economical use. There
have also been many substitutes for
rubber proposed.
So it may be with the cactus, if the
processes by which the rubber, wood
pulp, paint, and whitewash are to be
derived are so intricate or costly as TO
make them prohibitive 1t is we'll to
wait and see how the commercial value
of the cactus plant is to be assured be
fore we abandon our other familiar and
certain sources of supply

Commendable Generosity.

The Washington Herald ha, not hes
lated to critici>e local public utility cor
poratiou> when they have seemingly
Jailed in rendering adequate service. 1t
does not hesitate to commend them
when opportunity offers
The occasion for d word OF praise
now presents itself with the announce
mcnt that the Washington Railway and
Electric Company will celebrate Christ
mas by giving TO each motorman and
conductor an extra days pay and a tur-
key. In addition to this. it will provide
IN entertainment for the families of its
employees 1t also encourages faithful
service by system OF bonuses, annually
bestowed. conmcndablc idea also prac-
ticcd by the Capital Traction Company.
BY the exercise Of this generosity
these two public utilities demonstrate
thlt they are not entirely souIIess. as is
generally supposed to be the case with
corporations. They show a considera-
ton for the welfare Of their employees
which deserves ungrudging praise.

PeopIe Follow the Ronds.

From the Beaumont TEX Enterprise.
There are people who think it is un-
necessary to build roads into certain
parts of the country because no people
live there and the section is undeveIoped
and uncultivated. That is just the reason
for building the road. and the absence of
the road is just the reason why that Sec
ton is uninhabited and uncultivated.
Nine-tenths of the argument for building
good roads is that ii will bring settlers
and producers into the county. Roads
are not built primarily for the people
already there. If they were we would
never have any roads. ...

Not a Fair Proposition.

Citizens of the District generally will
approve that part of the Oldfeld bill
which proposes the establishment Of a
public utilities commission to assume
control over the railways. lighting plants.
and other quasi-public services of WASH
imgton But they will oppose most en-
phaticauy tho proposition that the cost
ui maintaining the commission shall be
taken solely from the District revenues.
This is contrary to the act of 1873 Gre
ating the District government.
That act declares specifically that the
expenses OF the District government are
to be paid jointly half and half, by the
Federal government and the revenues
OF the District Since the enactment OF
the act Of 1873. with only a compara-
lively few exceptions, and those OF
doubtful legality. the municipal budget
ha, been made up and appropriations
made upon tha, principle Ar long as
the statute exists. j, is the only way III
which money can he appropriated. and
to establish d utilities commission for
Washington at District expense is not
only wrong in principle. but against the
law
1t may bc assumed that this view OF
the matter will he the one which will
finally prevail in Congress. A. for the
