Grief drove this brilliant wom-
an to take up literature N q pro-

which gave her the ability to
write with such depth Of feeling

Mrs. Hunt was the wife Of an
American army officer. and spent
the early years Of her married

They had a little boy, and were
a very happy family.
Her husband, Major Hunt, was
killed while experimenting with

death Of her husband was still
keen when her little son died.
She was almost prostrated, and
her health was seriously affected.
In desperation she turned to lit
sraturs and determined to study
the art Of writing.
This was In the first half Of
the nineteenth century. Mrs.
Hunt was just thirty-four years

In 1875 Mrs. Hunt remarked.
Her husband was Mr.. jackson, q

lived In Colorado Springs. While
there, Mrs. Hunt became inter-

to study them. It was during

A FIVE-CENT CAR FARE
FOR WASHINGTON
Municipal Ownership Is the Only Way That
Fare Can Be Attained in, This City.
By BILL PRICE.
BY BILL PRICE.

q SNAToR coUzENs OF MICH
- IGAN Immediately excites the
intense interest of all Wash
ington when he declares that there
is no good reason why this city
should not have a Scent car fare
under municipal ownership Of our
street railway properties.
That is not the first time that
declaration has been made In
Washington. this newspaper hav.
ing steadily preached that doc
trine. but. coming from a virtle,
determined man in public life like
Senator Couzens, who did big
things In his own home city of
Detroit, 1T may mean something
for Washington.
Municipal ownership is abso-
lutely the only way q scent fare
can be had In this city. It was
the only method by which the
people of Detroit under the leader
ship of the able mayor, got a
scent fare.
1t should not cease to rivet uni
versal attention that in the last
five or six years. when street rail-
way lines were being wrecked un.
der private management, even
with the fare Ear above the tradi-
tional nickel. and when. In many
instances. public service corpora
tions were steadily increasing the
fares, three great cities Of the
country, other than New York,
were successful In operating their
car lines at or near the nickel
basis.
Detroit is most conspicuous. be-
cause all Of its lines now belong
to the city and the public goes
and comes on the cars for s
cents. Cleveland, Ohio, enjoyed
low car fares throughout the
war, and its car service is every
where commended. The city
doesn't exactly own the car lines
there, but It supervises their
operation and guarantees to the
private owners q reasonable re-
turn on q fair valuation OF the
properties. The scheme is known
an the service ce-at-oost plan. Car
fares there go up or down ac-
cording to conditions, but 1t is
significant that they have been
kept down while other cities were
going higher dnd higher. Capital
invested in Cleveland's lines was
given to junderstand that it could
no longer juggle for big dividends
at the expense Of improvement Of
road beds and service. and that
the owners must be contented
with a guaranteed return. And
they are.

When Senator Couzens, as
mayor of Detroit, talked to the
plain. sensible people of that city
and crystallized public sentiment
toward his street railway plans,

much different to the one he will
be addressing when ] Q speaks to

like weeds In a garden. II he
can change sentiment in Con-
gress he will demonstrate himself
to be an extraordinary mara
superman, in fact.
There has been a gratifying
growth of municipal ownership
sentiment as to the street rail-
ways of Washington in the
House, but in the Senate-no.
And yet statesmen In both bodies
are conscious of the fact that the
only feasible plan for solving the
intricate street railway problems
here, is municipal ownership. The
street railway directors and own
ers admit that Congress could
settle the whole thing through
that plan in a short time. On
the other hand, Congress has
been wrestling with this question
for many years and hasn't done
A SINGLE THING. Every piece
of legislation that seems to sat
isfy one body Is displeasing to
the other. and even IL bill
should pass. either one Of the
street railway companies could
hang 1t up In the courts for
years.
The right Of Congress to pro-
vide municipal ownership here is
legally undisputed, while other
plans are open to attack and
would soon be tied into knots in
the courts.
Senator Couzens has the correct
idea for solving the local rail
way tangle. No matter what
opinions he gets otherwise-and
he will find that the interests"
will appeal to him along other
lnes-he can rest assured that
the public of Washington wants
something done that will spell
lower carfares and better service.
The Michigan Senator will find
that the Public Utilities Commits
sion has not been able to use the
big stick. 1t has no authority to
force, a merger Of the two street
railway lines Of Washington un-
der one management. It's valua-
tions of these properties have
been challenged in the courts.
It's established rates for electric
lighting was challenged in the
courts. About the only thing II
has been able to do and escape
court litigation has been the fix
ing of rates to be charged the
public for carfares.
And lastly. Senator, you should
know that the only place which
has the power to solve our in
equitable, unjust street railway
situation is CONGRESS, which
has done nothing in spite of con-
slant pressure from local people
to save them from inflictions
Congress itself admits to be, un-
fair and unnecessary.
