'vox popuI vox Del" is more than mere epigram or
catchy motto United States circuit judge in New York
shielding his opinion with technically, and in face OF
the public demand for publicity has decided that the
Interstate Commerce Commission cannot compel the
production Of contracts between the cc carrying rail
roads and the sales agents and at the same time it has
been held that President Baer Of the Reading railroad
is protected by the constitution in his refusal to answer
questions relating to the conduct Of the railroad com
pany's business.
This of course is temporary victory for the coal
railroads in the fight which is being made against them
by the publishers OF New York newspaper, but will
not be profitable victory. The only effect will be TO
further arouse public sentiment against that particular
combination of capital make certain the reck
onin that is to be demanded from the forces Of monop
oily in the end.
The refusal of the railroad companies to produce their

dence of monopostic combination, and the fact that
President Baer took refuge behind the constitution will
serve to convince the public that the answers he re
fused to give would have ncriminated him at least
called into question methods by which the business
OF his company is transacted.
Nobody viii pretend that this will be good thing for
monopoly or that it will tend ultimately strengthen
the hold which the coal trust upon the threats Of the
people.

THE TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY

THE TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY
1t has been said that there is sufficient power going to
waste in the waterfall Niagara the entire ma
chnory Of the United States This power of late in
limited way is being transferred into electrical energy
and then transmitted to Buffalo In Switzerland the
scheme Of converting the railways into electrical trolley
lines the electrical power for which is to be furnished
by the numerous mountain streams Of that country is
being contemplated. Ever since the invention c; steam
machinery the raw fuel generate the power has been
transported to location Of the machinery cost
approaching its original value, sometimes the transpor
tation cost being much the greater The time may be
near when the power to drive the machinery Of factories
and the like viii be generated at the coal mine at
the oil and gas wells then transferred by wire to where
needed saving the immense cost Of transporting the raw
fuel
Scottish power scheme of great interest which has
been recently approved by the British parliament will
soon be under way. Instead Of transporting fuel
railroads by the aid of locomotives consuming large
quantities Ct coal it has been suggested that the power
be generated at the mine and carried over wires instead
of rails This proposition is parallel the generally
acknowledged view that it f cheaper to transport the

establishments along the Clyde in the neighborhood of
that city Three generating plants viii be established

In American" Of June fifteen,
And it pleases my humble fancy
More than anything else I've seen.
Your mind is truly active

While your critics need advice
And suggestions quite a few.

And never learn to have respect
