CAR WITHOUT TRACKS.

The trackless trolley car ls the latest
In the line OF transportation Of pas
sengers and freight A line OF this
kind Is said TO be in operation near
Paris, and another near Berlin. and
company has been formed for the pur-
pose OF operating a trackless trolley
line in Lowell Mass, and other locall-
ties.
According to description Of the new
line In "The World Today all that is
needed instead Of the expensive track
is a good, smooth road. Two overhead
wires extend throughout the length
OF the route. on these wires runs the
trolley. which Is connected with the
car By means Of wire long enough TO
permit the car TO turn out Of the road
on either side when desirable to do so.
In this way vehicles and other obsta-
Giles are avoided. On level road fifteen
horsepower are said to be- sufficient
for passenger car. They can
make o speed OF from 10 to 20 miles an
hour, and the lines are SO much cheaper
to build, that the operation is very pro-
fltable.
Should truckless trolley lines become
popular, the demand Tor good roads, we
fancy. would become still more urgent
than It IS at present, for that kind Of
communication between the different
localities would depend on the condi-
ton Of the roads. AS It Is, II Is claimed
that the direct and indirect loss to
farmers especially on account Of bad
roads, amounts to many millions every
year. The prospect OF getting q cheap
ana convenient means OF Transports
ton from farming districts TO cities
would act as a powerful incentive to
keeping the roads In the best possible
condition. There ls bin before Con-
gress. which, II passed VIII enable any
town or county road supervisor to APP
ply for and receive one-half Of the cost
of building roads In his district from
the national government, If this goes
through. We should In a few years have
the finest ana best roads In the world
ana also save the enormous losses re-
ferred to. The trackless trolley car
would then come naturally.

The Board Of Education Of this city
has chosen Mr.. Arnold G. Giaque (pro-
nounced Juke) as It's chairman. There
was much anticipation among the
friends Of different members of the
board that their favorltes would obtain
the place, but 1t seems that Mr..
Giaque satisfied the majority and
eventually the choice was made unani-
nous. We believe the gentleman viii

Mr. w. ]. Newman retires from the

thanks Of the people OF this city. He
has well performed somewhat thank
less task. He has been on the side OF
every rational measure for the adj
yancement OF our city school affairs,
and his continuation on the board is
gratifying to his numerous supporters.
The accession OF Judge Henderson and
Professor Cummings will, We are sure,
increase the efficiency OF the board,
while the members whose term has ex-

There is little but honor and fame

SENATOR HOAR's REMEDY.

One Of the chief features OF Senator
Hoar's antitrust remedy is publicity.
\ But the chairman OF the Interstate
Commerce commission, Hon. A. Knapp.
a short time ago expressed the view
that publicity was more likely 70 In
crease than to cure the so-caled trust
evil He argued that competition
would be destroyed, II publicity were
made a principle Of law, for It was un-
reasonable to suppose that any corpor-
alton would wage war against a
competing concern when from the pub
licity given 10 its rival's affairs and
Its own 1t was foregone conclusion
that Il would lose In the long run.
Another feature is that which pro-
yldes for strict penalties for the viola
tons Of law and for the personal res
possibility of the officers and agents OF
corporations. This would certainly have
n good effect, provided a law Of this
nature were enforced. but the trouble
Is that when money rules, the enforce
ment of the laws IS not always impair
tial.
What IS first Of all needed, is AIDE.
quate protection to competition. our
social system is competitive, 1t is built
on that principle But the tendency OF
monopolies is to destroy successful com
petition, 10 crowd out the individual
producer, and levy tribute on every
consumer in the land. AS long as this
Is not carried to the extremes, the pub
lie patiently bear It. But once in
while there Is an awakening, as In the
case of the general protest against
trust beef prices. The danger Is. how
ever. OF carrying the war upon lndi.
vidual effort too far. and II this Is done
there win be "deluge." The outcome
win be, either Socialism, or revolution.
The question Is Of the protection OF
the principle Of Individual effort. on
which our social structure rests. II
this principle is abolished what foun-
dalton is there, on which the structure
can stand?

AIR NAVIGATION.

There IA considerable alrship talk at
the beginning OF this year, although
MIR Edison says he does not believe in
the necessity Of air navigation, Prof.
Bell recently stated that his expert
ments have had as their object the
building Of a kite OF solid construction,
capable Of carrying mp IN moderate
breeze weight equivalent 20 that OF
man and engine and so formed that
II would be suitable for use as the body
Of dying machine--and with support
ing surfaces so arranged that when tde
kite Is cut loose Il VIII come down
gently and steadily and land uniniurcd,
lie says he has successfully accom-
pushed this. and that looks as II a great
stride toward the solution Of the prob
lem had been taken.
But there IRE others According to
The New York World, Prof Myers Of
Frankfort is about to introduce a new
type Of airship, which Is combination
OF MS aerial torpedo and the "skycy-
Gle" The inventor OF this claims thai
q has solved the problem. He thinks
n there were more demand FOR air
ships, the Improvement Of that kind
Of vehicle would proceed with more
speed.
NJ. Santos Dumont thinks he will be
able 10 have several passenger airshlps
IN operation IN Paris this year. He
thinks the time Is at hand when the
building OF airships viii become COM

Many Of schwenlefelds followers, too
were learned men who contributed ex-
tensvely to the controversial literature
Of the period. The writings, many Of
which shed new light ON Reformation

Within the last nifty years, moreover,
the schwenkfelders have re-establlshed

schwenkfeld's action In dispensing with
these was the chief source OF the de-
termined opposition 10 him and his fol.
