Passes Within the State.

susnce of passes or half fare tickets
To points situated within a state.
The law covers interstate and for
eign business aud traffic, but 1t does
not regulate operations thin an in
dividual common ealth.
This tecbnicality may afford com
fort to many persons who have
been in the habit Of obtaining free
transportation passes or reduced
fares. In states where no laws have
been enacted forbidding the issuance
of free transportation, passes may
be issued between points located
within any one of such states.
But executive, legal and traffic
officials OF the roads profess an
earnest desire To fulfill the intent
of the new Federal law, and they
may apply the interstate regulations
to state business. There seems to
be no doubt that many roads will
abolish entirely the pass and re-
duced fares. The exception to the
rule will, with several roads, be
few.-Ex.

PREPARATIONS are being made by
the Treasury Department and the
Department of Agriculture TO issue
two volumes on denatured alcohol,
which viii be received with great
deal OF interest by almost every body
IN the country. The free alcohol
law for which tie country is SO
largely indebted to Hon. Tom Mar

and when it does, it will at first
benefit the larger distillers, for in
all probability it will be impossible
for the Bureau of Internal Revenue
to extend the Government inspec

than 500 gallons of alcohol per day.
However, the consumer will get the

pecially in this connection that the
Forthcoming pamphlet of the Agri-
cultural Department will be of very
general interest. The Department
has commissioned Prof. Lucke, of
Columbia University, New York,
to study the adaptability of alcohol
for internal combustion engires,
such as are used in boats, automo-
biles and for almost innumerable
purposes where small and cheap
power plants are necessary. 1t is
understood from the first reports OF
this investigation and from the ex-
Perlments which have already been
made in Europe, that alcohol will
develop about to per cent more
power In an internal combustion en-
CINE than will gasoline. In addi-
tion to this, it makes a fuel that is
more responsive TO spark control and

Jefferson or BrUdn, Which?

Senator Elkins skillfully punctures
the Bryan government ownership pro.
gramme i'll his interview published in
the Intelligencer Saturday. Govern
ment ownership of railroads, means
also government ownership of express
lines, telegraph lines, car building com.
panies and telephone lines, because all
OF these activities are directly connect
ed with and largely dependent on the
railroad companies. 1t means the addi-
ton of over a million and half of
employee s to the pay rolls of the gov
eminent. One man IN every five in the
country would be a government Off ,e.
holder or employee, and how easy, no w
difficult To resist would be the succeed
ing steps that lead on from government
ownership of the great utilities to gov.
eminent ownership of the great indus
tries and businesses that are served by
the railroads?
Then would come socialism pure and
simple. The government would be the
sole owner and employer, aud the en-
tire people its servants. Free govern
ment of the people and by the people
would be at an end; and despotic
machine crushing individual initiative
aud enterprise would be substituted
Thomas Jefferson, the great leader of
ancient Democracy, held that the least
government compatible with law and
order, was the best government that
the individual man was entitled To- the
widest liberty of thought and action
consistent with the rights of his fellow
men Jefferson opposed the most nee
essary internal improvements, for fear
that too much power and too many
duties would be cOnsecrated i'm the
Federal government, yet less than a
century after jefferson quit the presi.
Dental chair, the rankest socialism
destructive to and contradictory of all
OF Jetfcrson's theories is preached to
the public as Jeffersonian Democracy
pure and undcflcd. Thomas Jefferson
may have made some mistake his
theory of government il consistently
Followed would have kept the union a
dis1ointed iuharmonious assemblage of
Jealous and quarreling states. That
theory was shot to death in 1861 80. but
Thomas Jefferson could never have
been guilty Of the wild and freakish
