FUEL OIL TEST AT SEA.
Trial Voyage Made by Fruit Carrying
Steamer.


New Orleans. La, April 17.-Yester-
day afternoon witnessed the trial Voy-
age of the United States Fruit Com
pany's steamship Breakwater. the hrst
ocean vessel to be equipped with OIL
burners at any southern port. The trlai

six of her twelve burners, q steam pres

pressure. was easily maintained. IL
took only four hours to get steam up
for the voyage, a saving i'm time or
twenty hours over the use OF coal
Manager Ellis, of the United Fruit
Company, stated that the use of OIL
meant the saving of fully 80 per cent
in fuel bills. The cost of coal on one
Of the Breakwater's round trips to Cen
tral America he said. has averaged
about S1,10O. The cost of oil for a
round trip will not run over $3.50. III
addition, the service of three firemen
and three coal passers are dispensed
with. Eventually every vessel belong

American Steamship Company, was
one of the party aboard the Breakwater
on her trial trip. He said that the yes
sells of his company, too, would De I'M
mediately equipped for burning oil.
The cost of installing the oil burners
on the Breakwater was something less
than $4,000. The principal cost was
the building of the two T50-barrel
tanks. About 500 barrels of oil are con-
sumed in making round trip.

THE "wRITE-UPY CRATER.

Waterloo Courier.l
The special "write-up. CRATER is
getting in his work, even at Des Moines,
and we are surprised to see Register
allow it's pages to be used as the We
hicle thru which he gets his wares TO
the public, and by which he robs the
merchants with his worthless trash.
The "write-up" fakir is a, travelling,
smooth tongued cuss, who goes from
town to town and where he can get
respectable paper to go in partnership
with him, proceeds to bleed the mer-
chants. His latest graft is western
romance" story of young couple
who are to be married and who visit
the town which is being worked, buying
their wedding outfit at the various
stores The names of the firms are
mentioned in the story, which has no
literary value, and which the LORD
knows, will never bring cent into the
till of the store keeper who spends his
good money on it. Very few papers In
the state will allow their columns to be
used for such stuff. They should be
fewer still.
OFFENSES AGAINST THE PUBLIC.
shenandoah Sentinel
Some people, it seems to us, nave a
wrong idea of the nature of crime.
When a man. commits crime 1T
should be treated as an offense against
the state, not an offense against the
individual. That being the case
prosecuting witness has no right to set
tie with the criminal or to hush up the
case because personal restitution Is
made to him. The state which repre-
sents organized society should deal
with the criminal for its own protec-
ton, to prevent the repetition of the
crime. If man commits theft or RODS
another by gambling, the state9ls not
satisfied by repayment of the money
or payment of damages to the indiVid-
ual wronged. That does not prevent
a repetition of the crime. When that
kind of policy is followed it simply
amounts to this, that the criminal takes
his chances, to keep the money II ne IS
not caught and to restore 1t ne Is
caught. Too many cases have ended IN
that way in Shenandoah and Page
county. 1t is wrong, dead wrong.

Many Linn county farmers have eX-

GOOD FOR CUMMINS.
Marion RepiSter.1


The correspondent of the Waterloo
Daily Reporter at Des Moines. says that
some of the special advisors of the par
don of Wesley Elkins, who murdered
his father and stepmother, have met
with rebuff at the hands of Governor
CumminS who has made 1t plain that
the boy murderer, who is to be paroled
from Anamosa, will not be allowed to
star as theatrical or dime musemum
attraction. Members of the general as
sembly went to the governor with the
request that Elkins that Elkins be pa
rolled Immediately in order that he
brought to Des Moines to see the legis-.
lature in session and personally thank
his benefactors. The governor would
not permit this and at the same time
has made 1t plain that the restrictions
under which Elkins will be placed
will be identical with those of any other
paroled prisoner. He will be required
to make regular monthly reports and
obey all conditions attached to the pa
role. However, If Professor Harlan, of
Mount Vernon. and other friends of the
young man. desire to see that he is ed
ucated for business no obstacles will be
thrown in the way.
There is no man in Iowa for whom
the Register has a higher personal re-
gard than he has for Professor Har-
Ian. In his efforts to'secure the pardon
of Elkins we know he was honest and
sincere and believed he was right. For
all this we give him full credit and have
no word of censure. AT the same time
our views were different and we are
glad the governor has taken the stand
he has.
