Doodle as topic has for a long time
attracted the interest and curiosity of
the American. Not only the ST. Louis pub
lie. but the entire country has riveted
attention upon the series of prosecu-
tons at our four courts, now twelve
months in progress, and as yet but fair
" launched.
Such things as coal strikes, wars of
conquest revolutions and international
difficulties have failed to- divert atten-
ton from these prosecutions and the
striking Illustration of municipal reform
presented to the nation.
It is reasonab le8t to predict that for the
next two Years our Doodle campaign will
retain its place as a foremost topic in the
public mind. Fourteen convictions have
been obtained thus far only one of which
has been reviewed by the Supreme Court
In this instance the Supreme Court prac-
tically5 sustained the contentious of the
prosecution, but reversed and remanded
the case upon technical points in the re-
cord. "A majority of the cases have vet
to be tried by jury, and the whole will
doubtless then pass before the higher
court, whose decisions will be received
with scarce less interest than the results
of the jury trials.

have been the immediate cause of death.

vegetable Fuel to FOLLOW Anthra-
New York Commercially


In the opinion Of not few industrial
investigators and naturalists. the supply
of anthracite coal which can even now
be zclassed as something of a luxury, will
be completely exhausted within about two
generations from now. That is. when
the girl and boy babies of 1902 are along
in their early sixties anthracite coal will
have become thing Of the past, and
some other fuel will have taken its place.
There is, of course, no way of replenish-
ing the supply of anthracite coal. There
is just SO much of it In the bowels of the
earth''-and TO more. Nature has appar-
emily quit storing carboniferous mater
in that way. And these considera lions
have moved Mr.. Edward Athinson-who

cannot raise his own fuel "by devoting
about one acre in a hundred of his posses
sions to that purpose for the supply of
one family"
Consider the corn crop, he says. The
ratio of dry stalk, leaf, and cob is about
one and one-half tons to the on of she'll
ed corn. The amount of potential fuel,
therefore, in the present corn crop, is
over 10O,0)O,O0O tons. Consider now the
whole grain crop. including corn, wheat,
oats. barley, rye, and SO nth. The total
amount Of potential fuel involved is be-
tween $780, 900 and 20O000.000 tons. Fur
Their, there are plants, like alfalfa and
the sunflower. which produce heavy fuel

plants the most promising. Sorghum,

Whatever plan is used the problem is
essentially the same. Corn. wheat. alfal-
