Perfect Combination of BltuMinous
Coal.
New York, Dec. 4.-Stove men of AL
bany and Troy are discussing an inven-
tion which they say will be as revolu-
ttonary as that of the sewing machine.
The invention consists of a firebox
which burns soft coal without smoke.
They believe Cahoon, the inventor, has
at last solved the problem Of perfect
combustion in the burning of bitumin--
GUS coal. It vii! be possible to burn
soft coal with as much cleanliness as
hard coal. 1t will result not only in the
substitution throughout much of the
West of bituminous coal at $3.50 a ton
for anthracite at 81 or So, but also IN
the utilization of the great Ignite fields
OF the Dakotas and the Northwest.
which until now have proved Of little
value.

Roosevelt is President.

Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in as
president of the United States in the
city of Buffalo last Saturday afternoon,
the oath being administered by Judge
John X. Hazel of the United States
district court. The formal oath will
be administered later at Washington
by the chief justices of the supreme
court.
With the distinction Of being the
youngest president ever installed in
that Office Mr.. Roosevelt brings to the
discharge of its duties an equipment
of wide and varied experience in the
public service, broad attainment in
many fields of endeavor outside of pol
itics and a sturdy Americanism and
lofty patriotism not surpassed by any
of his predecessors.
In public office he has shown ability
of the highest order, the striking feat
ure of his personality being an un-
tiinching fealty to law and an unyield-
ing reverence for constituted author
ity. His public utterances show him
to be in happy accord with the policies
of the late administration upon all the
new and important issues that con-
front the people, which is guaranty
of domestic peace and tranquility
On the question Of the enforcement Of
the civil service law his record shows
him to be sound. His induction into
this high Office, let us hope, will ulti-
mately sound the death knel of the
''spoils system"
To such man the country can look
with confidence for wise and patriot
