The present ~assemblage is perhaps more

Omaha daily bee., 1902-10-26

In the speeches and addresses could be
distinguished two special lines of thought
that deserve more than passing attention.
The keynote OF President James inaugural
address was his plea for the conjunction
OF religion and education. Northwestern
university is a Methodist institution. 1t
is the capstone In the west Of the educa-
tlonal activity Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and corresponds for the states of
the Mississippi valley to what the Con-
n~ecticut Wesleyan is for New England and
the Atlantic coast states. While a re-
ligious institution In its foundation, It is
nonsectarian in it's invitation to students
to avail themselves of its facilities, except
in the theological school, which of course
expects its members to pursue their studies
as a preparation for the ministry. In taking
charge Of such an institution 1t is bu:
natural for the new president to lay special
stress upon its religious character. Try

"A DOUBT-DIsPELLING SPEECH,

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, which is not a
Republican paper, styles the Presidents
address in Fitchburg, Mass. "a doubt-dis-
Polling speech" The President said that if
all large corporations were regarded as
trusts to be destroyed, he would like to
have all men ponder the folly of the man
who cries destroy the trusts" without Civ
ing an idea of what he really means to do.
But / will gladly go with him." said Mr.
Roosevelt IF he says destroy the evil in
the trusts" Then he went on to say that
the thing TO do is to find out the evil and
seek to apply the remedies. To make war
on trusts or large corporations generally
brings the country face TO face with de-
struction of its prosperity. and when it
comes to that the people will decide that Ii
is better that a few men should prosper too
much than that all should not prosper
enough. So the man who advocates the de-
struction of all trusts, meaning all large
corporations. is at best a quack and the
worst enemy of the Republic. The Presi-
dent insisted in that speech that big cor
poration may be doing excellent work for
things. when striving to get plan. is to get
one which will not interfere with a corpora
tion which is handling itself squareIy and
honestly. Such. in effect. are the views
OF the President. They are sound. Large
corporations employ thousands of men. To
make indiscriminate upon them will
\ cause suspension and turn thousands Of
/ men TO idleness.
The President is equally frank as to rem
edies. He believes that Congress can enact
other laws than the present antitrust law
which may be more less effective, but
he expressed the conviction that it will be
necessary TO change the Constitution before
the federal government can assume super
vision of corporations. and that he believes
will be work OF time. for the reason
] that States will be unwilling to deprive

themselves of their power over corporations
and vest it in the federal government. For
the present the laws on the federal statute
books affecting interstate commerce will be
enforced, the suits which have been be-
gun are a guarantee of the Presidents
good faith. The report of Labor Commits
sioner Wright makes 1t clear that there
can be no application of federal law to the
anthracite coal trouble. The effort of the
administration to put end to the payment
of rebates by railroad companies has been
successful, so that one of the worst pro-
moters of monopoly has come to an end
The Brooklyn Eagle which is an independ-
ent Democratic paper. concludes its COM
ments on the Presidents "doubt-dispelling
speech with the following opinions. which
are worthy of careful consideration:
A strange spirit comes over Democratic
dreams when it is proposed that for Ger
tain vital purposes State lines shall be OBJ
liberated, that State supremacy shall be sub
merged, that to the federal authorities shall
be granted the power to confiscate TO exter,
inmate. This is what Bryan contended
for when he said he would so arm the led
eral authorities that they could follow the
trusts into every nook and corner OF the
of the sort will ever be done. Nothing OF
the kind could ever be done. Trade combl-
nations are still in their infancy, gigantic
as their growth has been. Most of them
have or have had the inflrmities or disor-
ders incidental to tender years. Some OF
them, having been accompanied by unsound
constitutions, have fallen by the wayside.
The condition of others is precarious. Many
of them will shuttle off this mortal coil the
moment the Industrial tide begins to turn,
SO feeble is their grasp upon existence,
ha- q
are curative processes with which the law
has and can have nothing whatever to do
They are at work. Size has as little TO do
with the case as statutes-the big trust is as
mortal the little one, If not a trife more
so. Everybody is not a scoundrel and the
country is not going to perdition. 1t is max
ing the best of its ample opportunities and
1t is under obligations to most of the COM
mercial captains. Indeed, it is possible that
the times in which we live will hereafter be
referred to as a sort of golden age. Nor
will the reference be without warrant.

CRUDE OIL USED AS FUEL
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT ON THE
STEAMSHIP MARIPOSA.
Report of Lieut.. Ward winchell, Who
Was Detailed to Make Obserya-
tions for the Navy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The report or
Lieutenant Ward Winchell Z. s. N, the
expert detailed by the Navy Department
to observe the installation and efficiency
of the oil fuel system as fitted to the
Oceanic Steamship Companys steamer
Msriposa, has been received at the Navy
Department. The report is an interesting
one and contains matter of great value TO
the shipping and naval world. giving posi-
tive information in regard to the evap-
crate efficiency of the boilers and setting
out some facts relative to the use of ell
as fuel which have been earnestly sought
from the Navy Department by steamship
men and oil producers, as well as technical
papers. Some of these facts follow:
The Mariposa's gross displacement was
3,l60 tons, and her average horsepower
with oil about 2,4Sl, giving her a daily aver
age of 3o4 knots and mean speed OF l5-oS
with 27S barrels OF oil per day. This was
80 per cent less in weight than would be
required of coal. for one and a half pounds
of oil sufficed to produce a horsepower.
An important advantage in the oil fuel was
the reduction of the engine-room force
used only twelve of her eighteen furnaces.
burning crude oil in two burners in each
furnace by means OF an air compressor of
a capacity of 1000 cubic feet per minute
burners were not used except at short in
tervals.
Every precaution was taken to insure
safety by ventilating the oil tanks and
otherwise. The entire refuse after a run
of 3,43S miles. from San Francisco to Ia
hiti, barely filled two ash buckets, and the
flames did not affect the boilers unfavor-
ably. Difficulties experienced were con-
fined to the choking of strainers, which
can be obviated by duplicating those parts
and increasing the supply of oil to the
feeders. When the oil compressor needed
overhauling in or two instances re-
course was had to steam spray, which
was provided.
Lieutenant Winchell says that IL fewer
men are needed in the firerooms with oil
1T Is necessary to secure men of higher in
telligence, with mechanical aptitude, and
they must watch the furnaces. The es-
sentials are that there shall be constan,
air pressure for atomizing, the provision
shall be made to maintain regular TEN
perature Of the oil and that the oil strain
ers be watched steadily. Lieutenant
Winchelfs report concludes that the Mari
posa's trip was remarkable in many re-
spects and was not only a tribute to the
skill Of the Pacific coast mechanics, but
to the enterprise of the company, which
first installed the oil burners in lieu Of
coal.

In his Labor day speech President Mitch
ell, of the miners union. said: 1.-The miners
of Pennsylvania are engaged in a struggle
trying to secure sufficient to take their lit
tie boys and little girls OF tender age and
frail physique from the mines and the mills
and send them to school, where. as Amer
lean children, they properly belong" Com
menting on this the Journal said that
Pennsylvania had free public schools and
expressed a doubt that child labor in the
mines could exist to any injurious degree
without the connivance of parents and the
violation of State laws. Now comes the
Philadelphia Ledger-Times, whose veracity
none will question, and says:
Mr.. Mitchell. possibly without meaning
to do so. implies that girls of tender age
and frail physique" are employed i'm the
fact, there are no such employees in the
mines of this State, and there are no boys
employed in them who are under thirteen
years of age. the law forbidding their en-
plcyment, and girls cannot be employed in
the mills unless of statutory age. Conse-
quently, on these points Mr.. MitchelI's
statement was conspicuously inexact and
misleading.

by a false sentiment regarding child labor

in this country, and cannot without the CO.

fixing scandal, which has taken up the
time of a special grand jury all week. and
which county officials believe will result in

Of dollars of taxes annually. The men

and with conspiracy: James b. Hoy. con-
spiracy to defraud; John Healy. jr-, con-

sand dollars worth OF bonds TO improve
its financial condition. but that because
the building had been sold once before
