The Tribune has repeatedly pointed out the
internal combustion engine yields twice as much
power as the steam engine with the same
amount Of fuel Finally. a large quantity OF
petroleum Is being used as fuel in the South
west and on the Pacific Coast. This resource
NAV not be inexhaustible, but it sensibly les
sens the demand for solid fuel for time. and
gives the United States an almost unique ad-
vantage.
Moreover, Alaska has already begun to pro-

roads, afording access TO the coast. are I'M

fulfilled, the big tract of real estate which MT

will be felt where cheap coal is most needed

ELDERLY WOMEN WHO MUST WORK.

po this subject for the reason that she has spent

When woman of forty over suddenly faces
the hard fact that she must either work or starve
her first effort is seek a refined respectable
shelter where she live within the small rem

IS secured Does she find such shelter? No! She

woman under thirty and that for her there IS
nothing but the desOlate furnished roOm'-whtch
requires such large proportion OF her funds that
she only allow herself two Decent meals day,
and that for very limited time before destitution
must overtake her II she fails to find work
This Is not an imaginary case. but only one Of
scores that have under tho writer's personal
observation IS such a woman IN any condition TO

poor supply OF bodily nourishment daily growing

CFOPGTt'S EXPERIMENT,

The success of the prohibition movement in
Georgia seems to have been due to II curious
combination of influences. There can be no
doubt that the natural temperance sentiment
of the churches cXerr-d powerful pressure for
prohibition and that prohibition was desired and
fought cor per Sc by that sentiment. just 1t
in Maine and in Kansas. But 1t seems equally
clear that this sentiment must have been rein
forced 10y an economic influence which com
PEELED acguiescence on the part of thousands Of
citizens not theoretically opposed TO the liquor
traffic. Otherwise it would be hard to explain
the overwhelming vote for the prohibition ordi-
nance in the two houses Of the Legislature and
the failure Of the cities, with large license
revenues and large investments in the liquor
business, to make any headwuy against the
movement.
The fact seems to be that Georgia prescribed
the sale Of liquors as one step In a definite plan
TO raise the efficiency Of It's labor and to check
disastrous collisions due to race preiudiceS and
animositics. It is apparent that tho use or
cheap and poisonous intoxiCantS by the negroes
and the poor whites aggravated those collisions.
IL 1t did not actually cause the great majority
Of them; and to encourage the ignorant and
potentially vicious of both races to indulge
their appetitcs and infame their passions in
volvcd an obvious neglect of the best interests
Of the state economical as well as moral.
Georgia demands more work and better order
Of its population, and Will try to get both by
removing Il patent breeder of decentralization.
The new prohibition law is a protest not only
apainSt the vice Of intoXicatiOn but also against
the economic crime Of shiftessncss and iQef-
