Fuel Oil Tests

The full report of the tests
made under auspices of the Uni
ted tSates navy to determine the
relative efficiency of coal and
crude petroleum as fuel has just
appeared in print.
An inquiry equally thorough
has never before been made in
this country, and much of the in
formation secured will be SER
viceable to railroad companies,
owners Of merchant steamers and
persons who mediate the estab-
lishment of power plants either
for the generation of electricity
or for manufacturing purposes.
The relative merits of a variety
Of burners were also examined by
the government, and the results
obtained increase the practical
value of the report.
The experiments were made
with a water tube boiler of the
kind which as been adopted for
cruisers of the Denver class. Coal
was used in II and oil in SO. The
average amount of water evap-
Grated by a pound of coal was
nine pounds, while 1912 pounds
were evaporated by the same
quantity of petroleum. Weight
for weight, then, the latter show
ed superiority of about 1870. 1t
should be added that Pocahontas
coal and Beaumont oil were en-
ployed in these tests. Had either
the solid or liquid fuel been of
another quality, of course, the ra-
ito would have been different.
In determining which is the
more economical, it is necessary
to consider not merely the price
at the place of production, but
also the cost of transportation to
the place Of consumption. The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company once operated
25 freight engines continuously
for a month with coal costing
$685. a ton, and then for another
month with petroleum which was
bought at $1.33 a barrel. 1t was
found that 3112 barrels of the lat
ter Involving an expenditure of
$3.50 would do the work of a ton
former.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by il. ' '"stion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get Dr.
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

CANAL PROPERTY TRANSFERRED

THE TRANSFER of the title TO the
L Panama canal property has passed
from the French company 10 the
United States. At the last minute the
promoters Of the scheme found il ne
cessary to engage i'm a little sharp
practice. Fearing determined oppOsi-
ton. the officers of the company, as they
probably had a legal right TO do. Sc
cretly transferred the title without
waiting to give the stockholders an
opportunity 10 vote on il. The purpose
Of this was, Of course, to gain votes
Toy the transfer
n is easier 10 set stockholders to
ratify an accomplished act than TO get
them TO vote authority for consUmmat-
ing an act. SO the canal is ours. The
Frenchmen viii get some $40,G00.000
for their rotten machinery and the lit
tie work they have done on the canal.
We.wiu have the privilege of buying
new machinery and doing the work Ill
over again. The whole business is de-
cidedIy of color. but it has been done
and the United States government
must make the best Of it.
There Is NOT tire slightest reason tor
doubling that the American people
want an isthmian canal. They would
very much have preferred to get it
without any violations of international
law, without sharp practices Of any
kind and without lining the pocket
books of French and American graft
ers on Il large scale. Thanks 20 our
impulsive president, we have not been
able 20 90 the thing cleanly. The next
best thing is 10 snake the balance of
the procedure as clean as possible. The
canal must be dug and that as prompt
~ as possible
Unlimited opportunities for fraud
will be offered. Unless the work is
carefully watched the government will
be plundered as the original stock
holders of the French company were
plundered. Extravaganza may run riot
ana we may have a national scandal
But we need not have one. Every dol
lar put into the Panama canal from
this time on viii be honestly expended
If the right sort Of men are put in
charge OF the expenditure. The canal
can be made a national glory instead
Of national disgrace. The Herald
hopes for the best.

BRYAN ON PARKER.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN has
w had his say about Judge Parker
and the New York platform. He says
explicitly that Judge Parker is not the
sort of man the Democrats should nom
mate at St. Louis. 1t was too much to
expect Judge Parker TO be satisfactory
10 Mr.. Bryan. No Democrat who has
Yet been prominently mentioned, ex-
cept. perhaps. William Randolph
Hearst. has been satisfactory to the
Nebraska man. Mr.. Bryan's speech
at Chicago Saturday night seems 10
make il certain that if the reorganiZers
are i'm control Il the st. Louis conven-
tion the party need not look 10 him for
any support in the coming election.
We are sorry to see Mr.. Bryan take
this position. He might not be able to
H. Che party a great deal Of harm. for
there are millions OF loyal Democrats
who voted twice for Mr.. Bryan who will
vote the ticket next fall whether ne
endorses it or not. But it would be
very much better all around if he did
give the ticket his loyal and unwayer-
ing support. II Mr.. Bryan fails TO do
this he may as we'll prepare himself
right now for a long period of political
insisnihcance.
He does not seem TO realize that he
cannot injure the reOrganizers without
injuring the party, as a party: without
injuring the true and loyal voters who
stood by him in 1896 and 1900. They are
Just as honest. just as conscientious.
just as earnest i'm their desire for the
country's welfare as AR. Bryan. They
believe that the platform to be adopted
at st. Louis Will be a better platform
than any the Republicans may frame
at Chicago. They believe there is more
hope for the nation in the election Of
the Democratic nominees than in the
continuance Of the Republicans in
power.
The Herald does not need to defend
the platform adopted by the New York
convention. The vital platform will be
the St Louis platform. The New York
conventions declaration i'm no way
binds the national convention. The
New York delegation. powerful though
it is. will be but a small part of the St.
Louis convention. Surely it would have
been more seemly for Mr.. Bryan to
wait until that convention assembled
in order TO make his fight there.

A PERNIcIous COOK.

THE HERALD has received for rs-
view d book called Guilty" 1t is
a review Of the exploits Of Niedermeier,
Van Dine and the other Chicago car
barn bandits. Beginning with the first
murderOus hold-up committed by these
moral perverts. the book details It
length all OF their crimes 1t would
be unjust, perhaps, 20 say that the
author OF the book holds the bandits
up as heroes. He doesn't do that, but
ne does manage 20 throw a glamor Of
romance about their carnival of crime
that cannot fail TO allure impression
able young readers. ....-..
The purpose Of the book is undouDt-
edly TO make money for its writer. 1t
will doubtless find a ready sale among
persons of a low order Of intelligence
and among boys who do not know bet
ter than to read that sort of thing.
And knowing this we are sorry there
is no method by which the circulation
Of the book can be stopped, no method
by which the plates from which it is
printed can be destroyed and all the
copies now in the book stores and news

of the essential facts in the story have

looking into the records Of both Grosve-

The humiliating spectacle is that

the most humiliating thing about it is
that the Republicans allowed the pres

trouble is that it is always difficult 10
