that the railroad crosses his ground with
out a right-of-way, and for several years
the railroad officials have recognized his
contention by furnishing him an annual
pass, thereby avoiding annoyance and exc
pense.
Mcnamara deemed twenty-four hours a
sufficient time for the railroad company
to deliver his pass, and when It failed to
arrive he determined to tie up the line.
He piled rocks on the tracks, causing cars
and trains to be delayed. and to make
his protest more effective, removed an
upright from the Expectation tunnel. which
crosses his ground under the track. He
then posted a notice alongside the track
to the effect that the same was unsafe.
The roof of the tunnel is close to the
track, which began to sag. Superintendent
Flaherty telephoned the sheriff's ONCE for
help and Under Sheriff Parsons dispatched
deputies to the scene
Railroad Detective ID. c. Scott accom-
panied them and pacified Mcnamara by
explaining that the delay in issuing the
passes was unavoidable, and Mcnamara
escaped arrest. He will get his pass and
the railroad officials anticipate no further
trouble.

ALCOHOL BEATS GASOLINE
Instructive Results of Tests of Power

mobiles.

The report of the Maxwell fuel test. from
New York to Boston, on the comparative
merits of gasolene, kerosene and alcohol,
from facts presented by Stanley Y. Beach,
Phi. B., automobile editor of the Scientific
American, and II. F. Sawyer and w. F.
Schultz. Official observers appointed by the
Automobile Club of America, shows alcohol
to be much better for automobile fuel than
had been expected. The general interest
which was shown In the test, which was
held January Is to 80. 1906. between New
York and Boston, and the general discus
sion which 1t has since excited, will make
the official report of value TO the motorist
and layman alike. The trip was a unique
one. Three cars, identical in every respect
as to motor. number of passengers and
equipment, succeeded in making the run to
Boston, each using a different hydrocarbon
and each with a clean record. This was
the first instance in which the tour has
been made under the official inspection of
committee, experts In that line, and
whose deductions, which they have now
presented TO the public, carry the weight
of authority and accuracy.
The three Maxwell touring cars used
were standard 1907 model. fitted with double
opposed motor, three-point suspension, and
shaft drive, the cylinders having a bore

of the three cars, together with passengers

The miles per gallon Of fuel are as fol-
lows: Gasoline. 1O.1 miles; kerosene. 4-16
miles; alcohol. 6l3 miles.
From the above II is seen that alcohol
is about two and one-half times as expen-
sive as gasolene, and more than three
times as expensive as kerosene when used
in gasolene engine OF the present day.
The test has, however, shown that IL Is
a good power-producing fuel The engine
operating on alcohol pulled more strongly
on hills than those operating on either
kerosene or gasolene, In fact, II was al
most impossible TO stall the motor, the
reason being that while the initial pres
sure with alcohol is less than with gaso-
lene, the mean effective pressure Is greater.
Another advantage that can be accred-
tied 10 alcohol is that II was impossible to
produce that metallic knock OF pound
caused by a too advanced spark. In this
resepct, II was far superior to both kero-
sene and gasolene. II is. however. prob
able that when the compression is raised

spark IL too advanced. These advantages
added to it's cleanliness aud lack OF explo-

fuel for internal combustion motors.-Nsw

lators and executives, therefore, who
are filled with the desire to control
and regulate men and affairs, find in a
statute the ideal method of accom-
plishing their wishes. The objection
to an overabundance of legislation by
those who desire justice rather than
personal control, is that the men who
draft the statutes canot foresee the
cases that will arise which do not
come within the letter of the statute.
1t is for the opposite reason that the
common law is so dear to the hearts
of all students of it. 1t is flexible. 1t
can be made applicable to every new
condition which may arise and in ev-
cry instance can be worked out ac-
cording to the eternal principles of
Justice.
Herein we find a reason for the &C.
ton on the part Of those interested in
the scheme to centralize power in the
Federal government. 1t was their
theory that so long as Congress omit
ted to legislate with reference to in
terstate commerce, that there was no
low to protect those who were wrong
ed by those engaged in interstate COM
merce. But, as we have seen, the su-
preme court decided that they We're
mistaken; that the common law did
apply and would continue to apply I'M
til congress should by legislation SUI
persede some or any portion of it by
| its statutes.
Thus it happens, that in both State
and National governments, when
ever there arise controversies which
Iare not within the purview of statutes,
they are still governed by law. And
that law is the common law, as to
which we may with all our hearts
agree with John Adams when, in 1888,
he said: THAT the liberty, the un-
alienable indefeasible rights of men,
then onor and ignity of human ma
ture, the grandeur and glory of the
public, and the universal happiness of

there is between the two is that. after
neglecting their duty for MANY years
the Federal government started first
But that fact was due to the man who
was temporarily AZ the head of it, not
because virtue inheres in the Federal
