there is a uniform rate for such products there

be able to reconcile himself to this discr1mina-

RALLWAY MOTOR C4RS

The precise function of the self-propelled
railway car, with which many experiments are
now being made in this country does not seem
TO be as we'll understood as it might be. Mr.
F. W. Hid points out in Engineering News"
that it is not designed to compete with the steam
locomotive or the electric railway. 1t is meant
only for service where traffic is so light that it
would not pay TO run train but where trans
portation facilities, once created ought not to be
withdrawn. There might not be patronag ge
enough to call for more than two or three trips
a day, whereas the interurban trolley is profit
table only in localities that justify an hourly or
half hourly schedule. In other words the motor
car is needed in and adapted to lines connecting
small places and running through regions of
scanty population.
Neither Mr.. Hid nor Engineering News" in
its comments on his article regards favoraby
the use of gasolene engines for the propulsion of
motor cars. Emergencies may arise. in their
opinion. when it will be impossible to procure
supply of petroleum distillate whereas wood or
coal can be found almost everywhere. For this
reason a preference is expressed for steam en-
gines. These, however. have their drawbacks
They continue TO enjoy popularity in England
but are not in favor elsewhere. After all, the
internal combustion motor is the more simple
and economical. Before many years 1t will
probably be found necessary to substitute al
cohol for gasolene for fuel In that type of en-
gine. but there should be little more difficulty
then in obtaining a few gallons of denaturized
spirits than few pounds of coal. If the Union
Pacific's motor car 'No, =" now in operation in
the East, demonstrates that it is unnecessary to
add electrical machinery to the prime mover
under such a coach we believe that alcohol en-
gines will soon come into universal favor for
this particular class of work

The nickname "suillotine." commonly applied TO

POSTGRADUATE LAW SCHOOLS

put upon a postgraduate basis. and be open
only TO holders of a baccalaureate degree indi-
Gates the working at New Haven of leaven
which has been perceived elsewhere. In the two
great university law schools of this city, and in
others elsewhere similar proposals have been
made and considered and variously acted upon.
Where they have been laid aside as untimely
or impracticable they have been merely post
pOned, and seem sure To be brought forward
again
For the weight of scholarly aud professional
opinion seems TO he in favor of the adoption of
such system whenever the time shall be op-
perfume. The real question is one of expediency
Few universities can afford 10 lessen their rev.
enues. and not one wishes TO do So AS rule
law schools are pecunarily profitable; in some
cases they are the only departments of univer-
sites which show a yearly surplus The adop-
ton of the postgraduate rule would doubtless
greatly lessen the attendance at them and
would thus so lessen the revenue as to produce
yearly deficit Thus there is a grave aues-
ton of finance involved. as we'll as one of schol-
arship.
Apart from the loss of revenue. however it is
quite possible 10 regard with entire equanimity
considerable decrease in attendance at some
of our law schools. In this city especially the
profession is much overcrowded and the con-
gestion is yearly being increased by the addition
of multitudes of young men, 2 considerable pro-
portion of whom will be no credit to the profes-
sion Many worthy young men are entering legal
practice. but many unworthy ones are doing So
too, and, finding themselves admitted to the bar
are Iesorting TO methods sadly al variance with
the high ideals which used TO obtain in the pro-
fession. It would be we'll If the number of new
lawyers each year could be materially reduced
under the law of the survival of the fittest and
that might be the result of DR. Rogers's proposal
If il We're adopted.
1t will be said of course, and not without
truth, that some of our best lawyers never
received baccalaureate degrees, and that some
exceedingly worthy young men could not afford
the time and money needed for four, or even
three, years college course before entering
law school But those are the comparatively

There are excellent law schools not connected
with universities, and these may decline to
adopt the post graduate rule There is also
always the possibility of young mans prepar-
