BURNING UP GOOD HARD CASH

EIF householders would remember
a few expert tricks they would
manage to save something like 20 per
cent of their gas bills every month,
said an old Washington gas-mcter in
spector. For no other commodity is
the average man more unwilling 10 pay
than for gas: yet with on other is he
more extravagant.
In the first place. almost invariably
too much pressure is on gas Jet TO
permit it to burn TO advantage. a jet
OF a certain size may be depended upon
TO supply just so much light-no more
A certain volume of gas and certain
pressure is necessary to permit this
maximum of light. Any excess of pres
sure simply serves to burn extra gas
without creating additional light.
How to Detect Waste.
Every gas jet which emits a bubbling
sound is burning gas uselessly. Like
wise every gas flame showing horns or
a ragged edge instead OF a smooth. even
one, is wasting gas. These things tell
of too much pressure on the jets. and
that the gas needs partly to be shut off
al the meter. As a rule. the meter key
may be turned one-third OF the way
around without making a difference in
the light thrown cut by the jets.
Another instance in which consum-
ers are prodigal is in permitting gas TO

CHEAPER PRICES IN THE SUBURBS.

o live cheapiy and comfortably is
the desire Of every householder
whose income is modest rather than
muniicent. but owing to strikes and
other causes which tended TO raise the
price OF necessities. living expenses
were mu, h higher this winter than in
past years. Washington consumers ac-
oeptcd the situation in the patient. it
can't helped spirit that characterizes
them. But some OF the enterprising resi-
dents OF northwestern suburb rebelled
against the prices demanded by local
trcdesmcn. A few months ago they put
their heads together and evolved a plan
whereby they are enabled TO keep their
larders full at cost that does not dis
may and worry them as II did under the
old regime.
A Consumers Protective Association.
They formed a seIf-protective associa-
tiOn. consisting at first of twenty mem
bers, each OF whom contributed so to
start a fund. With this money they
placed orders for tea, sugar. potatoes,
coal. and provisions OF all kinds. paying
lowest wholesale prices and procuring
first-Tate quality. one OF the members
offered free OF charge a meeting room
and commodious loft for use as a
stOrehouse. The association then bios
somed out under the title OF Co-opera-
tive supply Company, and sold food
stuffs to the families of members and
the neighbors in general at cost or at a
triling advance.
The fund was replenished by weekly
contribution OF so cents from each
member. and as householders hurried to
The Washington times., 1903-03-22

join the society. the treasury was soon
in fiourishing condition. The members
who were appointed to purchase the pro-
visions are experienced buyers, quick
to take advantage OF favorable markets.
and the heads of families who profit by
their shrewdness are jubilant over the
reduction in household bills.
Defied the Coal Trust
When coal was being gold at fancy
prices to consumers. some of whom
we're forced 10 stint themselves in many
ways so as to procure fuel, the Co
operative Supply Company purchased IL
in carload lots and resold it in small
quantities TO its members at reason
able figure.
Every Saturday night a meeting was
held, at which reports OF progress were
made. new plans formulated. and topics
OF interest pertaining to the company
discussed. The business made enormous
strides. and from the first day OF its
Inauguration its success was assured.
New Societies Springing Up.
The advantages OF this cooperative
plan OF living have been recognized by
adjacent suburbanites, and similar sup
ply companies are springing up. Neigh
bors who hitherto have merely known
each other by sight are banding
together and devising ways and means
by which they can improve on the plans
OF the original promoters of the scheme.

being it was not unusual for local gro

CITY NEXT
YEAR.

There are many a%spirants among
the cities for the honor or privilege
OF sheltering the national conven-
tons of next year. Baltimore pleads
precedent. In the days of the whig
and anti-bellum democratic parties
Baltimore was a favorite convention
city, but westward the star of empire
has taken its way, and Baltimore is
left with the other eastern cities far
to n side of the weight of popala-
ton or politics. The capital is, it is
true, on the Atlantic slope, but be
cause congress meets on the Atlantic
slope it is not necessary that the
national conventions should meet
there. Congress is tied to the federal
buildings and plant, and the national
conventions have no such limita-
tons. Nc national convention will
be held next year or any other year
east of the Blue Ridge.
The heart of the country lies west
and south of the Blue Ridge, far west
of it, and st. Louis is undoubtedly
the most central of the large western
cities of the Countrywide cities that
contain owe half a million of people
each. St. Louis will be an especially
good convention city, because of the
worlds fair, and beyond all reason
able doubt the national desire to help
on the great fair will carry the con-
ventions of both the great parties to
1t. 1t is a hot city in June or July.
but the campaign will be a hot one
also, and the politicians can be-
come seasoned there. The two big
conventions will follow the multi
tude next year, and both beyond
doubt Will be held in ST. Louis.
The population center is located in
Indiana, and the political center Will
be near it next year. At any rate
the plea of history and precedent is
no longer good. Popular conventions
should follow the people, and the
mass Of the people of this country
now live on the sunset side of the
Blue Ridge. Baltimore and the
other eastern cities are not in the
running, aud the only city that can
cut st. Louis out of the coveted honor
is Chicago, and it cannot bag the
democratic convention, whatever it,
may be able to do in capturing the
Roosevelt ratification meeting.

WHY DOESN'T BRYAN STOP?

MI. w. J. Bryan is n of the most
persistent anti-harmony men in the
Democratic party to-day. He is a
man OF observation, and therefore it
is hard to understand why he does
not realize that any efforts he may
make to secure the endorsement of
free silver by the next national Dem
ocratic convention can result in moth
ing but even greater factional differ
ences than ever in the party. Even
such papers as the Memphis Morn
ing News, which was started with
the idea of supporting Bryan's con-
t%ention, sees plainly that free silver
is dead, and that no good can pos
sibly result from a further agitatic n
Of the subject. The Memphis News
says:
cit may be pretty safely assumed
that if Mr.. Bryan's influence was not
strong enough to secure the indorse-
ment OF free silver in Iowa, he will
fail everywhere else. Iowa adioins
Nebraska, and is directly under his
personal influence, besides being pre-
disposed, on account of reasons al
ready mentioned, to go with him.
The conventions action ought to con-
vince him that his fight for silver is
futile, and that he will imperil the
last vestige Of his hold on the party
Il he persists in thrusting the issue
forward as a necessary part of the
next National platform. X X X His
stubborn adherence to a dead ques-
ton makes it impossible for his
friends to work effectively for the
control of the party machinery. If
this control passes to the other ele-
ment of the party he has no one to
blame but himself.n
No intelligent observer believes
for a moment that Mr.. Bryan will be
able to influence the next convention
to ever seriously consider free silver.
1t is an impracticable theory which
has been exploded by the facts. It
is a dead issue with little or no hope
of resurrection.
The Democratic party does not
want to invite certain defeat by a re-
affirmation of the Chicago or Kansas
City platform, and the members of
the party are tired of putting up a
ticket simply to be beaten.
