President ROOSEVELT, in a speech
made by him in Philadelphia last
Saturday, said:
"The question of socalled trusts
IS but one of the questions we must
meet in connection with cur indus
trial system. There are many of
them and they are serious, but they
can and Will be met. Life NAV end
before making the solution, but it
Is idle to tell the people we have
not the power to solve such a
problem as that Of cxertinc adequate
supervision over the great industrial
corporations. We have the power
and we shall fnG out the way. We
shall not act hastily or recklessly,
bat we have firmly made up our
minds that q solution, and a right
solution, shall be found and it will
be-"
These brave words by the pres
ldent give the people hope that he
will use his best endeavors to secure
the rights and welfare of the people
against the apparently overwhelm-
ing power of the immense indus
trial corporations, which are so rap
idly absorbing the surplus wealth
Of the country. Ii was feared that
the efforts Of politicians to quiet
the antitrust sentiment had sue
ceeded in binding Roosevelt to the
true situation which confronts the
nation. But the presidents soul is
still his own, and it cannot be
doubted that his patriotism will
cause him to seek the real goodef
the seventy millions of people fver
whose destiny he today pred dies.
even if it costs him the friendship
of the handful of muIti-millionaires
who are now in control of the
nations finances.

The Curse of Crackers.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
From time immemorial men have been re-
signed to the yearly infliction on Independ-
ence day, when for day there is an orgy
of noise and stencil, and of maimings and
burnings. That affiiction has been endured
with the more fortitude because of the
thought that the other 364 days of the year
would be free from it. That freedom is
now, however, a thing of the past. For an
annually increasing number of days before
July the cracker and bomb have full play
to make life burden to mankind, and now
other holidays and the days and nights pre-
ceding them are similarly degraded Thus
the eve of Memorial day was made hdeous
with crackle and crash and roar of fire.

CHEKIB BEY'S GALLANT ACT.
Turkish Minister Rescues Boston Cab

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Boston, Mass. Wednesday, says: Chekib
Bey, Turkish minister at Washington, who
is visiting in Boston, saved a cab driver
from serious injury and rescued a fright
ened young woman from the cab today.
Chekib Bey noticed the woman step into
the vehicle. AS the driver tried to turn
from Boylston street into fremont street
wheel of the cab struck the curbing The
axle broke, letting the vehicle fall The
horse tried to bolt. The cabman lost his
balance and fell heavily, striking the curb
ing. He kept hold of the reins and as he
fell pulled back the horse. The driver was
curbing.
Continuing to back, the horse was slowly
crushing the man when Chekib Bey ran
forward, jumped directly in the way of the
wheel, gripped the cabman, showed the

ceding it large proportion of urchins on
the streets were diligently using toy pistols
upon one another and upon all passers by.
These may to some seem minor things; as
to others dirty streets and absence of lights
may seem trifles. But 1t is not trifle to
an invalid. or. indeed, to any one, to have
sleep banished and nerves racked by the
explosion of giant crackers in the street
all the evening until midnight later. 1t
is no trifie to the pedestrian to have half
grown boys on the street swapping blank
cartridges in his face, or to the driver to
have lighted firecrackers tossed at his
horse, to explode at his very feet.
1t certainly seems time for halt to be
called. and that peremptorily. Ii has been
a disgrace to have such things, with their
resultant loEg rel of deaths. maimings
fires and other disasters, recur yearly on
our national anniversary. To have them
as the present tendency indicates, made
things of daily or nightly occurrence is in
tolera BILE.

GETTING POWER FROM IMPURE WITHOUT FUEL

miles of wire require no attention ex- cept when particularly severe storm temporarily disables them. Even then the cost of repair is small. Tn short, the charge for 'maintenance' is almost inappreciable.
 The number of these power supplying enterprises in this country is rapidly increasing. Every one is familiar with the gigantic enterprise at Niagara falls, through which it is ultimately intended to furnish New York city with at least portion of the immense power required for it's daily manufacturing needs. Then there are several of these plants in the northeastern portion of New York state. Some of them are already in operation, while others are under construction. They will furnish power to factories and villages near at hand, but inasmuch as many of them have enormous reserve power from which to draw. their possibilities are almost lim- itless.
 One of the largest and most success full of the power companies is the Sno- qualmie Falls CWashington) concern, which furnishes a varied service, in- cluding electric traction, mill and fac tory power and illumination, to Seattle Tacoma, Everett and other municipali- ties Its power house is cut into, or rather, out of. the solid rock, and the harnessing of the falls was declared to be one of the greatest engineering feats of the century. The water falls 270 feet in dense forest, and the abundant shade insures almost as large a supply in summer as in winter. The value of this great fall may be understood when it is stated that Niagara has drop of but ITO feet. But, on the other hand, it is estimated that, because of the greater volume of water passing over the falls of Niagara, a horsepower of 3,000,000 may be developed, while the supposed total of Snoqualmie is only about 100, 900 horsepower.
 The water at Snoqualmie is taken from the river above into massive chamber With walls 25 feet high and 6 feet thick. Thence by means of steel pipe more than seven feet in diameter it travels .fe a streak to the machinery room, 270 ct below, where are located l four water wheels, each weighing more than 100, 900 pounds. These wheels, in l turn, actuate the shaft to which are at l tached the immense generators. The l water, having served it's purpose, pass ] es through a sluice into the river below. Another interesting power station is l located twelve miles north of Helena Mon, on the Missouri river. The trans ] mission line is sixty-five miles long, the longest in the world at the present time l although one now building near San Francisco will surpass it in that re- spect. The lines near Helena cross the i Rocky mountains at an altitude of more I than 1000 feet. When one pauses to re- I fleet how impossible it would have been a few years ago to get power from ] cid of feai1 15.al to rfI
 CT, it will be seen that the problem ot 4 keeping the wheels going round, mus
 have received a good deal of attention
 at the hands of mechanical experts ant I that their efforts give reasonabl, l promise of being crowned with sue I cess in the not distant future

the line of their wires. As the power costs practically nothing and the right of way very little, it is not surprising that most of these enterprises are all ready on a paying basis.
 It will at once be seen how great is the saving by this method over the old plan of producing power In the large cities there are companies which supply steam, meters in the establishments of the users fixing with more or less (usu- ally less) accuracy the amount of steam consumed. But these concerns are obliged to buy the coal, haul it to their places. construct and maintain at enor- nous annual expense large system of pipes and pay a considerable force of employees, many of whom are skilled laborers and mechanics. Under, the new dispensation the power house is erected near the falls Usually new dam is constructed, because, while the natural one may answer the purpose, it is not apt to confine sufficient quantity of water to render certain a supply during the hot months of summer, when the smaller feeding streams are many of them practically dried up. Then a power house must be built with it's wa ter wheels supplied by fumes running to it from above the dann The dyna- mos are installed, along with the nec- essary machinery, and there you are. 1 Thereafter there is no buying of coal I for any purpose. and the miles and

 Electricity has enabled the mechanical genfuses of the present day to utilize the water power offered by nature. Be- fore electricity was as well understood as it is today the scientific men were wont to prate dolefully of the shame of allowing all this poWe . go to waste. But there was no hell it because in the very nature of thi most of these valuable water privile were located far from the points at N nich they were needed. To get the. water there there was but one apparent plan-conduct it by means of aqueducts. But these are more expensive than. coal, and so the old Wasteful methods continued. And, besides. if the points at which the power was desired happened to be at a greater altitude than the scene Of the water power there was no possibility of utiliz- ing it even if the expense had not enter ed into the calculation. But with the ad- vent of what might be called practical electricity-that is, electricity produci- ble and transnittable at reasonable cost-alI that was changed. Then it
 nattered not whether the falls were be- low or above the level of the factory; no expensive aqueducts were needed, the only problem remaining for the en- terprising man being the not always simple one of inducing capitalists to in vest large sums of money in the install Iation of electrical plants near the pow

furnace of the private house direct to the ash barrel without the intervention of the sitter. It refers only to the use of coal for purposes which, in the opin- ion of this volunteer statistician, should be otherwise provided for. For in- stance, he declares that there are every day ever so many hundreds of thou sands of horsepower going to waste in the United States and in confirmation of his statement points to the fact that not one-twentieth of Niagara's vast possibilities, reckoned upon most con- serVative basis, has yet been utilized. Other statisticians have ascertained, or thought they did, which is much the same thing, that our coal supply will be exhausted in the matter of another century or two. And then what shall we do? ..>
 Seriously, however, = at the present wasteful rate at which coal is used and allowing for the increase in population which is inevitable, coal will be so ex-' pensive within the next half century that one of three things must happen the cost of manufactured goods must be much greater, with the possible al- formative of a lowering of wages to meet the increased cost of running the
 machinery; manufacturing industries must suffer greatly through inability to compete with the people of other countries in which at the time there may be no coal problem. or a substitute

There may be found cranes and storks and kangaroos and emus, to say noth- ing of the horses, cattle, swine, poultry of all kinds, dogs, sheep and cats and the hundreds of pheasants and deer in the woods. But of all Lady Warwicks pets the favorite is the baby elephant. The youngster weighs nearly half ton, but his age is an uncertain quantity. Up to few months ago the little" fel- low was exceedingly docile, but he ap- pears latterly to have realized his strength and it's possibilities. The re- suit has been what the elephant least expected, for his liberty was curtailed after he had given some very disagree. able exhibitions of his power.
