A MAN OF SORROWS.

1t is sngularly sad life that mas come to its
close in the imperial palace in Vienna Franz Josef,
Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, began his
reign amid the turmoil and boodshed of the memora-
bic period of upheaval in Europe recalled the past
generation by the year lS4S At that time the throne
of the HapsburgS totterng before the onsaughts of
the impetuous Magars, was propped up by Russian
bayonets.
Now the venerable monarch, bent under far
heavier burden of than falls to the man of
even excessive share of misfortune, has breathed
his last on the eve of crsis-the crisis that IS
developing in his loosely knit empire under the pres
of the awakening aspirations of nationalities
long held in check
His last moments could not have been made
easier by the knowledge that the man whose feet
were on the steps of the throne of the holy Roman
empire is plotting against the very existence of the
political federation to which the accident of birth
in the purple has made him heir.
In the long and stormy interval between those
two ominous events in the history of Austria Hun
gary since the eve of l848 Franz Josef has lived
through personal bereavement and political tumult
hard to duplicate in the annals of soveregns He had
stood BY the bier of his son. slain in scandal which
has furnished an unsolved mystery to the chronicles
Of crime in high places. He has mourned by the body
of his wife, spent by the hand of an assassin.
Well might the patriarch of the house OF Haps.

THE LANGFITT POWER PLAN.

Colonel Lang6tt, engineer officer, has reported to
Congress on his investigation of projects for harness.
ing the Potomac power and improving the city
water supply His report recommends project,
which was first published in The Times Of damming
the Potomac at the Little Falls, and backing up a
great and very deep lake. from which both power
and water for the city should be produced Z,
This project is estimated to cost about S50OO,OOO
on account of adding to the water supply and Sl0,
100000 on account of its power features.
The scheme is much more ambitious than that
which Engineer Leighton presented year or so ago;
and the Leighton plan appears the more practicable.
Doubtless Colonel Langftt is perfectly certain that
the huge dam he would build just at the gates of the
Capital City would be safe; but he will have diff
Guilty convincing Congress and the Capital whole
that it is we'll to hang the National City the pos
siblity however remote of another ohnstown horror
The Lang6tt plan is likely to be found dangerous
and impossible, simply because it reaches for too
much A moderate project such as Leighton devised,
is workable; the Langhtt plan probably is not.
1t is not difficult to imagine that every interest in
Washington that would like to see tne> Great Falls
continue to be wasted, is pleased at the Langt re-
port The Potomac Electric Power Company could
hardly have devised more impossible or unwork-
able project.

FIXING THE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

The District authorities have displayed proper
understanding of the purpose of traffic regulations,
in making notifications which decrease the burden
on produce brought into town from the adjacent agr
cultural country.
1t is reproach that Washington is known far
and wide as one of the most expensive towns in the
country in which TO live, while Baltimore, forty
miles away, its circumstances not essentially differ
ent is one of the most economical places of residence
OF course, Washington as the seat of government
presents problems of its own but certainly it should
be no part of police administration to add to the
cost of living by imposing unnecessary penalties on
every pound or dozen or basket or ton of farrN
produce that offers itself at our gates
Esthetically disposed persons may be grieved to
see load of loose hay or straw Pennsylvania
avenue; but if hay and straw and other produce
which finds market here, shall be discouraged
and penazed wnen they seek this market, the
esthetic persons will pay the penalty in higher prices
OF what they consume. Perhaps they don't mind; /;
there are people, however, who do.
More than almost anything ese Washington needs
development of its facilities for maintaining touch
between its consuming population, and the prime
of supply of agricultural products The farm
ers and truckers of the counties Immediately sur
rounding this city ought to be encouraged in every
way to bring their products here; to raise them with
especial reference to the demands of this market.
Ii is probable that there is not in the whole world
another city of the size and circumstances of Wash
ington, whose agricultural purlieus have developed
with so little reference to supplying the needs of
that city. Within very few miles of Washington, in
any direction, agricultural operations carried on
just as they might be if there were city within
hundred miles. Washington needs to encourage the
farmers hereabout TO change this. 1t needs to have
them working for tnis market. II needs to induce
them to come here 1t must provide better market
facilities for them. 1t teach its police to regard
them as friends not as natural enemies of the CITY,
1t must make traffic regulations that will facilitate,
not discourage, this sort of business.
The District Commissioners made some mistakes
in the traffic regulations that took effect February L.
The requirements of monthly permits for bringing
some kinds of produce; the restrictions loading Of
farm wagons; these mistakes. 1t is to be said
for the local authorities that they didn't waste any
time about correcting the mistakes, when these were
realized. Ine liberaiy and intelligence that were
displayed deserve full commendation. Some more
of that same spirit displayed by our Congressional
guardians as well as by the local executive authority,
would 60 far toward adjusting living costs in this
town TO more reasonable basis

rial to Late. Vice President.

As a memorial to Vice President Sher-
man. in whose honor eulogies were pro-
nounced In TIE Senate yesterday after
noon. friends of the Vice President will
establish a chair Of civil government at
Hamilton College, Utah -
Mr.. Sherman was a student at
Hamilton in his younger days, and
throughout his life he took a keen in
terest in the welfare of the institution.
The plan for a memorial first pro-
posed was to erect a statue In WASH

THE IMMIGRATION MEASURE.

1t is pleasure, too often enjoyed, to be able
unquaifedy to agree with President Taft in the
matter of the immigration bill.
1t is doubtless unfortunate that the whole bill S
fate is endangered by the fact that it is vetoed be-
cause of single provision. The President objects
to tine eracy test Aside from that, the bill is gen.
orally good one. 1t represents vast deal OF in
,esdgation and excellent understanding of the
alien problem.
But the teracy test ought not to have gone into
the measure and the President will be fully justified
in vctong it, whether Congress shall or shall not
pass it over the veto
II il does not pass over the veto, then this one
Objectionable provision should be taken out and the
bill passed at once.

ALEGIsLAT1vE REFERENCE BUREAU.

The program of Republican Senators for the rest
of the session included determined effort make
provision for legislative reference bureau and BILL
drafting establishment. This particular institution
ought to be set up, and made just efficient pos
sible. 1t should be based on plan broad enough
to make it serve the whole country 1t ought to be
useful and available to State legislatures, to
cities and counties.
Wisconsin established the first bureau of the
SORT and it has been working, under the able direction
of Charles McCarty, for pretty much the whole coun-
try. The National Government should provide its
own bureau, and make it the most complete and
efficient of the sort in the world.
Mighty few proposals could be suggested which
represent more of the substantas of real progress
sive achievement than this legislative reference

INDIANAPOLIS GAS EXPERIENCE.

number Of years ago the Citizens Gas Com
pany organized in Indianapolis, in the effort to
free the town from the exactions of monopolistic
concern that had heretofore had everything its
way. The old corporation was thoroughly orthodox
public service corporation 1t could not reduce the
price of anything, because to do SO would be to incur
bankruptcy. 1t could not permit city or State au-
thortes to reduce the prices, because that would be
unconstitutional.
The Citizens company secured franchise and
went into. business. 1t has been such unqualified
success from every point Of view, that its story had
been told all over the land wherever there was need
for an illustration of the possibilities of improving
public service and reducing rates.
The rate for gas in Indianapolis is now 60 cents
per thousand; that is, rs cents less than in Washing
ton. No, the ready answer Of the gas men doesn't
happen to apply; indianapolis is not getting natural
gas. The Citizens company supplied natural gas at
one time, in part; it does not 1t is making gas
and marketing it on conditions that are probably a
little less favorable than those of Washington. The
president of the company recently said.
I'VE are selling gas for domestic at go cents.
We could reduce that to 55 cents, and make just as
much profit, if we did not have competition" For
the old gas company has remained in business right
along, and of course competition is always expen-
sive With single interest doing all the business,
indianapolis should get gas at 55 cents for domestic
uses and still it would be profitable: 80 cents less
than Washington is paying.
But this is only beginning of the statement of
Indianapolis advantages. few days ago the Cit
liens Gas Company announced new departure. In
order to encourage the of gas for industrial pur-
poses, it announced the following sliding scale of
rates, effective after March 1:
For the first $4,000 feet used in month"; per
thousand, so cents.
Second $4,000 feet per month"; so cents.
Next 100000 feet month, 45 cents.
All over 100000 feet per month, 40 cents
The meaning of all this is of course obvious. The
Citizens Gas Company mas discovered that it really
pays to deal fairly with the public that there is more
profit in the long of experience, in selling big
volume at reasonable rates, and having patronage
that is friendly and public sentiment that isn't ever
lastngly reaching for brckbats 1t would be great
thing for our Washington gas monopoly if it could
learn some of these lessons Perhaps it is quite too
much to hope that Washington public utility could
develop such an attitude toward the public as has
this model public service corporation of Indianapolis
Why, the Indianapolis concern is actually supporting
the public service commission law that is before the
Indiana legislature this winter; law that is intended
to be made model for the whole country, with the
best features of both the New York and the Wiscon.
