PRESIDENTIAL TRAVEL PAY.

The Herald does not often find it
self in disagreement with John Sharp
Williams leader OF the Democratic nj
nority in the house, on questions Of
public policy, but his action i'm leading
a successful, fight to have stricken
from 3, house measure an appropriation
Of SIS, 900 A year for the presidents
travelling expenses was a mistake It
Is to be hoped that the senate will re-
instats the item. The nation cannot
afford to be niggardly with its highest
public officer
Mr.. Williams conteTded that it is not
necessary for the president to travel
about the country in an official Capac-
ity and that when he travels he should
travel as a citizen, paying his fare just
as the majority of citizens do. Strictly
speaking, It is not necessary for the
president to travel. He can transact
the business OF the nation better in
Washington than anywhere else and it
certainly is his duty to spend the great
er part Of his time in the capital But
there is an ethical as well as a practi-
cal side to the question.
OF the eighty odd millions OF people
in the United States a very small per
centage would ever see a president If
the president did not visit them. The
mountain, as it were. cannot come to
Mahomet: so Mahomet must come to
the mountain. A visit from a president
is an event that most people remembe
as long as they live They get a great
deal Of pleasure out Of it and properly
so. Regardless OF his political af1lia-
Jion any president attracts attention
The public likes TO see him, to cheer
him, to assure itself that he is fash
toned in the likeness of other men.
More. fl is, in way, the moral duty
Of a president TO travel. In no other
manner can he gain a proper concep-
ton of the greatness II his country, of
the needs OF the various sections, Of
their particular industries and their
population. It is right and proper for
the expenses Of such travelling to be
met from the public treasury Very
few Of our presidents have been rich
men, as We measure wealth, It is fair
10 assume that history will repeat it
self. And it is not fair TO ask presi-
dents TO pay their own travelling ex-
penses.
It will be said that the railroads bear
the cost Of presidential Junkets. II that
is true there is even greater reason for
putting an end to the practice by pay
ing the railroads out OF the national
purse. Desirable as are presidential
trips from the popular standpoint It
would be better for the executive to
remain q prisoner in Washington, as
the pope remains a prisoner in the Vat
lean, than 20 have him 60 on trans
continental and other jaunts at the ex-
pense Of the railroad companies.

perhaps more. His pay goes on. One

He is treated by a physician paid by
the government, his medicines and at

cost And his pay goes right on. II he

II he is injured so that he is incapac-
itated for further duty he is retired

ance OF his life.
When he has grown old in the SER
vice, no matter whether his physical
condition is good or bad when the re-
tirement age comes, he is sure OF a
comfortable existence during the re-
mainder Of his days. Can as much be
said for any briCklayer, any plasterer,
any carpenter or painter OF skilled me-
chanic? What percentage Of them can

| ooKs LIKE CONSPIRACY.

IL there a conspiracy among men
OF high rank to keep young men out
OF the army and the navy? Reading
Corbin's remarks to the West
.f raduating class and remember
rotary Shaw's recent talk to
aiming school graduates one IS
to answer the question in the
we. Secretary Shaw told OF the
eulties ard Heterogeneous in the
naval service. General Corbin talked
in much the same strain Of the army.
Among other things Corbln said:
In the matter of compensation your
pay will be less for years TO come than
that now paid skilled mechanics. Those
entering the foot service will receive
$3.50 per day while mounted officers
will receive S4.19 per day. The present
pay per day Of bricklayers is $3.50, Of
plasterers IS, Of carpenters and paint
ers $3.50, so that all skilled labor has
q better per diem than the govern
ruent gives TO graduates Of the mill
tary academy.
1t is not necessary TO comment on
General Corbin's utter taCtlessness in
giving utteTance to such language.
That much is perfectly obvious. It is
proper, though. TO call attention to a
few points that he overlooked, either
intentionally or unintentionally. The
first Of these is that the West Point

Pfllsbury, the great chess player,

He wore himself out with his chess,
which amounted to a passion with him.
It is doubtful # the world has produced

the marvellous memory 2 man must
have to play twenty-five games Of chess
blindfolded. That was what Pillsbury
did in Moscow, and in Philadelphia he
played twenty games at the same time

DENATURizINe ALCOHOL.

A great deal has been said lately
about the denaturized alcohol bill. the
measure that removes the tax from
that product and cheapens it so that it
can be used for power, heating, light
ing and other purposes. Little has been
told, though. of the process through
which alcohol must be put to render It
unfit for drinking purposes. The aver
age man would no more think Of tax
ing a drink Of alcohol than he would
/ think Of taking a drink of gasoline.
/ However, some people 90 drink it. and
/ those who desire TO continue the prac-
tice must continue to pay present prices
/ for it,
ConsUl-GeneraI Thackera Of Berlin
/ has written for the Daily Consular and
Trade Report a statement Of the man
ner in which the Germans denaturize
alcohol He puts the denaturizing into
| two separate classes, complete and
incomplete" The processes are de-
scribed as follows:
Il Complete denatUrizat ton Of alcohol
by the German system is accomplished by
the addition to every leo liters (2615 gal
lOnsl Of spirits: (a) two and one-haTf Iifers
OF the STANDARD denaturizer.'' made Of 1
parts Of wood alcohol I part of pvridin
"a heterogeneous base obtained by dfstiII-
ing bone oil or coal tar. with the addition
OF % grains OF each liter Of oil Of laveu-
der or rosemary. (b) one and one-foTTth
liters of the above standard and . Iiters
Of benzOl, with every 100 Iiters of alcohol.
incomplete denaturizatiOn. l. e. sUf-
Ilclent to prevent alcohol from being
Drank but not diSqualify it from use for
various special purposes, for which the
wholly denatuTized spirits would be un-
available, is accomplished by several
methods as follows The quantity and
nature Of each substance given being the
prescribed dose for each 100 IftPrs Cl61L
gallons) Of spirits. (cl five liters of wood
alcohol or One-haIf liter of Dyridin- (51
% hters OF solution Of SheIIac, containing
part gum 10 2 parts alcohol Of % per

Of cellulotd and DegamOiI is denaturfzed:
te) by the addition Of I kilOgram cam
phOr or liteTs oil Of turpentine or one
half liter benzoH to each 100 liters OF
spirits"
The Germans use a great deal Of
wholly and partly denaturized alcohol.
Of the former they used. during the
last fiscal year. more than $4,000. 900
gallons. It was applied to purposes Of
power, heating, lighting and manufac-
lures Of certain kinds. IncompIeteIy
denaturized alcohol is necessary in
some businesses that could not use the
completely denaturized product
COnsul-General Thackera reports that
the price Of denaturized alcohol in
Germany varies in the different prov
inces and states. The supply, and con-
| sequently the price, is regulated by the
yield Of potatoes, grain and other prod
ucts from which alcohol is made. At
the present time alcohol of the stand
ard required under the law WHOLESALERS
at from to : cents per liter CLOS
quarts and retails at about 70 cents
per liter. It is thought that within
brief period of time denaturized aIco-
hol Will be selling T. the United States
at g cents per gallon.
