itself capable Of promoting great economy In
stationary steam plants, and theoretically should
work IN the same way on a locomotive. More
or less ingenuity was needed to effect the
adaptation, but the task has been performed
satisfactorily. Mr.. Lake mentions with spe-
cial favor the style OF superheater invented by
Schmidt and added to engines built at the
Borsig works IN Germany in 1900.
If the notion OF giving steam chance to ex-
pand In more than one cylinder did not origi-
nate in America, it was certainly well known
in this country many years ago. The earlier
compounds here had only two cylinders on
side In England three and four cylinders We're
tried with encouraging results. OF late good
deal has been heard about the De Glenn loco
motive. 1t is made in Germany, but its per-
Torrance on French roads two or three years
ago gave it its greatest advertisement Several
engines Of that type have since been construct
ed for trial in the United States and CANADA.
Well, the salient feature of this powerful ma
chine is that it is designed on the four cylin-
Ger principle, the low pressure cylinders belnG
especially capncious. Expansion begins at a
pressure OF 240 pounds. A minor advantage OF
the design is the method Of coupling the drivers
so as to render CONFERENCE.-The unnecessary but
the chief merit Of the De Glenn system is the
economy which it secures.
Several improvements IN nreDoAeS "n4SH "04O
first proposed In this country have oeeh re-
garded with favor abroad, il they have not
actually been adopted there. This is partic-
ularIy true OF the Belpaire system OF stays
which facilitates q good circulation. Again,
much of the work done in Europe OF late in
giving debility TO the wheel base" OF loco
motive is an outgrowth OF still another Ameri-
can idea pivoting the front end OF the engine
on n truck like those under passenger coaches.
Before many years an extensive use OF cleo
tricity will be made in trunk line traction II
che steam locomotive is not doomed to disap-
pear entirely, its development has certainly
been carried about as far as human ingenuity
is ever likely to push it. AS its history Is re-
viewed, America viii always have ample &C.
cosion for pride I'm her own share In this work.

HEARST is DENOUNCED.
New York Evening Post Flags
Publisher in Scathing
Article.

In an editorial anent the aspirations
OF William Randolph Hearst to secure
the presidential nomination on the
democratic ticket, the New York Even
ing Post (democratic) says:
I'VE have been reluctant to speak of
the presidential candidacy Of w. Il.
Hearst. We have felt it to be one of
those things that ''need much washing
to be touched, and had hoped that its
grotesque and humiliating aspects
would put him cut of consideration by
all but the bought and rotten. But it is
evident that his unblushing campaign
based, as a democratic senator has said
purely upon ''cheek and a checkbook"-
is making some Roadway. Hearst
stands today as the greatest temptation
to the democratic party to play the fool
and break its neck against.
Almost any other candidate promi-
nently mentioned would have a chance
OF election, but Hearst is enough to sink
any cause aud damn any party.
We are convinced that it is only
necessary to set forth the facts in order
to make an end of these unspeakable
candidates. Hearst's record will crush
him as soon as it is known.
An agitator we can endure: all honest
radical VIC can respect; afanatic we can
tolerate; but a low voluptuary trying to
sting his jaded senses to a fresh thrill
by turning from private to public COR
ruption, is a new horror in American
politics. To set the heel OF contempt
upon 1t must be the impulse of all
honest men,"

dnced by Mr.. Martin Of South Dakota
requesting Secretary Cortelyou of the
department of commerce and labor to
investigate 'tthe causes OF the low prices
Of beef cattle in the United States since
July /, 1908, and the alleged unusually
large margins between the prices of
beef cattle and the selling price Of fresh
beef"
When Mr.. Martin called up his reso-
luton, he asked for unanimous consent
TO its immediate consideration and no
one objected. Mr.. Mann, Of Chicago,
had had some thoughts of entering an
objection, but refrained in considera-
tion Of one or two unimportant changes
i'll the wording of the resolution.
Secretary Cortelyou already has told
Dir. Martin and others interested i'll
this movement that he will proceed as
soon rs possible to an investigation and
that he will make it as thorough and
searching MS the circumstances will
admit.
But before starting his investigation,
Cortelyou probably will ask congress to
make an appropriation for the pay and
expenses of an ample staff OF special
agents to 20 into the field to make the
inquiry. The secretary says he has not
now IA large enough force to such an
important undertaking.
Mr.. Martin has the assurance OF the
speaker and The leaders OF the house
that whether with a reason Secretary
Cortelyou asks for the house promptly
will give him, SO there should be no
great delay in starting the investiga-
ton.
This is the first request congress has
made of the new department for a trust
investigation and Secretary Corteiyou
naturally is anxious TO respond III such
manner as to justify the wisdom of con
gress in establishing his department. and
its bureau of corporations. The work
will fall directly under the jurisdiction
of that bureau, whose head is James r.
Garfield, son of former President Gar
field.
Mr.. Martin says since he introduced
his resolution he has received many
letters from western cattle ~raisers,
offering to give evidence to the special
agents who may be sent out to make
this investigation. Some of the writers
are afraid TO have their names used, as
they believe the packers will discrimi-
against them III the buying of cat
tie at the various stockyards.
