Chief Engineer Maurice of the French

steam for several hours after the fire has
been extinguished. The storage consists
in the use of mixture of salts having
a great specific heat, and surrounding the
greater part of the tubular system. Fire
brings the temperature of these salts to
S41 F., and this keeps up the production
of steam for long time after the are

President Roosevelt's recommendations
to Congress, based on the Garfield oil re-
port, are, in brief, as follows:
A law should be passed regarding oil sim
iiar TO that putting alcohol used in arts
and manufactures on the free list.
Fee to oil or coal lands held by the gov
eminent should be kept by the govern
ment.
Railroads should be permitted to unite for
protection to themselves and the public as
against the power of great corporations.
Examiners under the direction of the In
terstate commerce commission should ex-
anime the affairs of railroad as thoroughly
as bank examiners investigate banks
The commission should have affirmative
power making its decisions take effect at
once. subject only to such action by the
court as is demanded by the constitution"
The proper play for individual initiative
car only be secured by such government
supervision as will curb these monopoljes
which crush out all individual Initiative"
Commissioner Garfield's report finds that
both secret and open rebates to the Stand
ard Oil Company have existed all over the
country. The Determinations by secret tar
IFS alone have aggregated S75O.0oo year.

Purification of Politics.

Governor Jelks has consented to be- oomeea part of the national movement having for it's object the publicity of campaign contributions and expendi- lures. The organization of which he has thus become a member is to meet in Washington on January IT for the purpose of promoting publicity that would put an end to corporate and other disgraceful contributions to cam paign funds. Perry Belmont of New York is leading that movement.
 A Belmont publicity bill has already been presented to the New York legis- lature by Senator Bracket, republi- can. of Saratoga. This bill, if it be- come law, will compel the publication of contributions to and expenditures by campaign committees, and it will prohibit all corporations from contrib uting to campaign committees, organi- cations or candidates. Senator Braek- ett thinks a contribution by corpora ton should be made a ground for the revocation of it's charter.

There is room. therefore. for the growth of demand for accommodation of pupils. The building is heated by the hot air process, and all the rooms are well ventilated.

Hirinu Hands at Ellis Island.

From the Delta in the state of Mis- sissippi and from lumber mills and other industries in all parts of the south comes d cry for more labor Be yond a doubt the labor problem on large plantations is each year becom- ing serious, and this fact is leading not few to favor Chinese immigra- tion.
 There is a widespread desire for white labor, either native or foreign. But such labor can not be obtained except by offering at least as good wages as are offered by other sections. Few in the south appreciate the fact that agents meet immigrants as they arrive and offer them from S1.50 to $2 day in cold cash. The immigrant as rule seeks a cash offer, and he does not want it intermingled with board, rations, or commissary propositions. He seeks an offer of cash at the end of each week.
 Thus far the south has not been will ing or able to meet other offers made to immigrants-offe that came from nearly all of the middle and western states. Even crowded Connecticut out bids the south for newly labor. The immigrant seeks dollars and cents, and the south can get plenty of immi- grants when 1t stands ready in New York to offer him what men from other sections are offering.
 Low bids from southern planters and southern industries are fruitless. This should be made plain throughout the south. Immigrants are met with offers of $1.50 a day and the south must come up to that price in order to secure any considerable number of them.

Agents of the canal commission are said to be at work i'll New Orleans inducing negroes to go to the isthmus. MT. Shonts has al ready exported one hundred southern negroes from New Orleans, and the movement is in full swing. It should be nipped in the bud by Congress.
 Southern negroes are not yellow fever immunes. They are not aceus- toned to a tropical sun. They readily become homesick They are wanted At home. Southern labor should be let alone. while Jamaica and all the rest of Spanish America can be drawn upon. not to mention China and Japan. There is no excuse in the canal com mission for rendering the labor situa- ton in the south worse than 1t Is.
 The demand for labor in the Delta country and among the saw mills and the plants of this district is strong today and rising prices are paid to all who will do an honest days work The commission does not understand the labor situation in the south. If it did, it would not attempt to create labor famine here.
 The subject is one that should be investigated without delay. Of all strange capers that have emanated from the canal, the one attempted at New Orleans is certainly the most harmful and the most uncalled-for It should be ended without ceremony or delay

Involving a Contract That MacMonnies
 Come Near Making.
Prom the Worlds Work.

From the Worlds Work.
 Of late years Mir. MacMonnies has had so many commissions to do groups of sculpture that he has made 1t rule never to enter, a competition with other artists for an order. In this connection a story is told Of an American city that asked him to enter a design for army and navy groups for soldiers and sailors monument. He declined to compete. Then the commission was rendered him out right He submitted sketches of his idea for the groups. The committee in charge of the monument wrote him. ask ing:
 How many tons of granite do you in- tend to use in the base?'
 His reply was: If you are in the bus mess of buying granite you may use as much as you want, one ton or 100000 tons am an artist, and I have never yet heard of art being bought by the pound
 The question was dropped until the contract for the commission was drawn When MT MacMonnies received it he dis covered in 1t a clause providing that in case the -bronzes were ever thrown down from their base by any cause whatever and any person or property should be injured. he and his h frs forever should bo lible for the damage sustained. He re- turned the~contract without comment, un- signed When the committee wrote him asking the reason his brief reply was Your lawyers are too sharp.
