CONCERNING MIR, Cotton.

The Duluth Herald a democratic
paper, volunteers the information that
the republicans Of Duluth and other
portions of the eighth congressional
district will choose j. B. Cotton or
anybody else to represent them in the
republican national convention with
out the advice and consent Of T h e
Journal. Anyway, it seems to us
that a republican paper outside of the
district has about as much right to Of
fer advice. to the republicans of the
eighth as q democratic paper within.
Possibly, it would not be overstating
the facts to assert that the outside re-
publican paper has even more author
ity in the case than the local demo-
cratic paper. The Herald also says:
Mr. Cotton needs no defense by the Her.
aid from this unwarranted attack by a
newspaper published in another congress
sional district. Here, where he is best
known, there will be no doubt as to the
ability and desire Of Mr.. Cotton to fairly
represent public sentiment, free from any
entangling business connections. Mr.. Cot
ton is a supporter and admirer of Presf-
dent Roosevelt and Is in thoro accord with
the policy Of the administration. -tt
We confess to deal of admiration
for Mr.. Cotton. He Is a man Of nu-
merous good qualities, but we shall
have to demur to the statement that
he could fill political office free
from any entangling business connec-
tons" Admirable gentleman as he
may be he is still human. -. =
BY the way, Mr.. Weiss, publisher Of
the Herald, was In Washington yester-
day, and announced that he expected
to represent Minnesota in the demo-
cratic national convention. Between
Mr.. Weiss, publisher Of the democratic
paper that supports Mr.. Cotton, and
Mr.. Cotton, the 'entangling business
connections Of Duluth, otherwise the
octopi, are in a fair way to be we'll
represented in both national .conven-
tons.

The Despotic Postofdce.

John Brisben Walkers new publ
cation, '"The Twentieth Century Home"
has been excluded from the mails as
second class matter, and Mr.. Walker
is compelled in mailing his periodical
to pay the same rate Of postage as
would be paid on patent medicine cir
culars. The consequence is that the
magazine is on sale only in those parts
of the country where the express rate
does not exceed one cent a pound. If
sent thru the malls at the rates re-
quired, it would cost four cents for
each copy; of course that is an i'm
possibility.
Mr.. Walker attributes the postof-
flee departments rejection of his mag
azine from it's proper classification to
the fact that he is an advocate of a
postal parcel system. This may or
may not be the case, but it is fact
that as the law stands the third as
sistant postmaster general has alto
gether too much arbitrary power. AS

The Coming Of the Turbine.

The introduction of the turbine en-
CINE on ocean-going ships appears to
be at hand. The Cunard line is build
ing two immense steamers for the Liv-
erpool-New York trade which are to
be equipped with turbines as the most
satisfactory means of developing the
high speed aimed at. The Allan line
is also planning to put on two new
steamers equipped with turbines be-
tween Canada and England. The
scout ships which it is proposed to
build for oour navy will probably be
provided with turbines. These scout
ships are to be of 1000 tons, but they
are to have either 10000 or 10000
horsepower, a combination that would
be impossible with the old style of en-
gines. Turbines are used on torpedo
boats and destroyers and passenger
steamers having them instead Of the
old-style engines are now in service on
the British channel.
Winthrop Packard gives, in the rBos-
ton Transcript, the following list of
advantages of the turbine engine:
First-Complete absence of vibrations
from the main engine, the seat of power
being whee! that spins like a top instead
of piston rod slamming back and forth.
Second-Increased economy in steam
and coal consumption.
Third-IncreaS speed owing to dirnin-
ished weight and smaller coal consumption
for the producing of a given amount Of
energy.
Fourth-Increased stability of vessel ow-
ing to a lower center Of gravity Of ma
chinery.
+ Fifth-Increased safety of the engine
room force, because of the absence of reci-
procal parts, the turbine requiring much
less complicated and dangerous forms of
machinery than the other type.
Sixth-Perfect balancing Of enignes, which
allows very light engine foundations, gives
greater space for other things and obviates
strain on the hull.
Seventh-Reduced size of engine room,
giving greater cargo capacity in the same
size of hull. A. -.
Eighth-Reduced weight of machinery,
thus saving in the propelling force re-
quired.
Ninth-Reduced cost of attendance on
machinery. ... ri.

the turbine requiring far less Oil than the
cylinders of the reciprocating engine

lers, the form required for the best effect

Only last week in a well knownsrestau-

officials of this city and many ladies, I
was obliged to leave the table and request
a man -(?) who had, after finishing his
lunch, seated himself in the front of the
room for a smoke, to cease his filthy in
suit. Is it possible the women of to-day
have no high ideals, and that man has lost
all respect for woman as we'll as for him
self? In my youth it would have been
considered an insult for a man to attempt,
to smoke in the presence Of a woman; but
to-day we see mothers apparently in the
higher walks Of life accompanied by the

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Mr.. Day Explains.

To the Editor Of The Journal. -
notice the following in a recent issue
Of one of your ST. Paul contemporaries:
Frank A. Day, editor of the Fairmont
Sentinel, has been quoted as saying that
Minneapolis was not appreciative of the
country editors. Mr.. Day has a fine broad
view Of the world as it goes, and it is
possible that there is some justice in his
plant. Minneapolis has a beautiful dis
regard Of many things, but it is particu-
larly supercilious in the matter Of country
EDITORS
Were the sentiment attributed to me
entertained by any member of the country
press toward either Minneapolis or st.
Paul, he would be open, to the charge of
being an migrate.
The hospitality SO often extended to the
Minnesota Editorial association, composed
largely Of country publishers, has been
unstlnted and characteristic of the gener-
ous-hearted people Of those splendid Cities
either OF which is big enough and great
enough and progressive enough, except in
respect and alteration for the other.
At the Nicollet house banquet rendered
the association in your city recently I
expressed the opinion that your city press
had moderated the character and interest
and importance Of our first days session,
as indicated by, the brevity Of their re-
ports. Later editions Of the same papers
dispelled any occasion for such criticism.
and therefore trust it may be expunged
from the record and my acknowledgment
to the press and people, of your city be
substituted therefor. Good girl, Mime
apol1s! Good boy, St. Paul!
