GASOLINE MOTOR CARS.
Important Revolution in Railroad
Suburban Service.
Chicago Tribune,


Suburban Service.
Chicago Tribune.
The Union Pacific railway company has
been making at Omaha some interesting
experiments with gasoline motor cars
which 1t proposes to substitute for steam
trains in its suburban service The results
of the tests have been highly satisfactory.
one OF the cars has reached a maximum
speed of f1fty-seven miles an hour while
carrying ffty-seven passengers, and it is
believed as good average time can be made
with them as with steam trains
The application to railway cars of the
gasoline motor-which, as is we'll known,
is extensively used in the propelling Of
automobies-was first experimental with
and put into practical use about a year
ago The Union Pacihcs gasoline motor
car No. l, which was first put on the rails
last March, was constructed on new lines
AS It gave better satisfaction than any
similar which previously had been tried
all the cars subsequently built by that COM
pany have been built according to the same
plans. The gasoline motor used is similar
to tr ose by which automobiles are driven
The car tapers at both ends and is rounded
on the roof like yacht, so as to reduce the
wind resistance to minimum. BY means
Of air brakes the car may be stopped within
liz or 115 feet, when going at twenty miles,
an hour. The vibration and noise OF the
engine have been almost eliminated and
the exhaust Is so muffied as scarcely to be
perceptible Tests have shown that the
motor will not only run a car at high speed,
but that it will pull heavy loads.
The advantages railroads would derive
from the adoption of gasoline motor cars in
their suburban services are considerable.
At the present time they are competing
with the electric lines for suburban busl-
ness with doubtful success and generally
giving poor satisfaction to their patrons.
The operation Of steam trains costs so much
that during most of the day It does not
pay to run them at frequent intervals.
But suburban dwellers desire trains at
frequent intervals. Consequently they.
patroniZe the steam roads rivals, the cleo
>tric lines. 1t has looked as II the railroads
would have to electrify their lines IL they
were to hold and increase their suburban
business. Electrihcatlon, however, would
cost great deal OF money The introduce
tion of gasoline motor cars, If they were
successful, would enable the railroads to
run cars on their suburban lines as often
as the electric lines. It would. at the same
time, save them the great expense Of cleo
trifying. They would be advantageous to
the public as we'll as to the railroads.
They would improve rapid transit faclli-
ties; enable the railroads suburban patrons
to ride to and from their homes without
being choked and begrimed with SCOT and
coal smoke; and would diminish the amount
of smoke which now pollutes the air Of
cities. The test of gasoline motor cars
now being made may prove the introduce
ton to an important and salutary revolu-
ton in railway suburban services.

The good government league is all
right, providing that its advice to voters
is not designed to promote the nomina-
ton or election of special favorites under
the guise of promoting better govern
ment For example, in it's first circular
the Good Government league tattooed
two republican candidates for county
Judge and indirectly endorsed a candi-
date who is not qualified to fill the Office,
which is just as much aiding bad gov
ernment. 1t placed the DennisOn brand
on one candidate for sheriff, while his
opponent, who had given aid and com
fort to all the gamblers in Omaha and
South Omaha when he was sheriff, was
given a clean bill. A strictly impartial
league would have given the record Of
all, so that every voter would know just
exactly where the spots were and who
had the biggest spots,

An Obvious Consolntion.

In the midst of his indignation at the
life Insurance companys contribution to
the republican campaign fund Judge Parker
has one obvious consolation. He knows,
along with everybody else, that II the con-
tribution had been made to the democratic
campaign instead Of to the republican and
IL IT had been 100 times as large it would
not have changed the result. Judge Parker
would have been defeated though all the
forces of plutocracy had been on his side.

A lady left a bequest some years ago to
certain board of missions, in this way:
Il wish one thousand dollars given to

Jane Smith is a manager"
This was piece of inconsequence,
that had no i'll results, because the heirs
at law knewall about the board in ques-
ton and were aware of the identity OF
the particular Jane Smith concerned.
But that legacy might easily have
missed it's destination. 1t was very

women are warned to be careful in sim

Many good people distribute their for
tunes during their own lives, and have
the satisfaction of seeing the good their
money can do. No pleasure can be
greater, and, in view of the strife over
wills which is far too common, this
course is, on the whole, the most prac-
tical one for people of large wealth. Yet
