Gas for the Su burbs.

II has been discovered that the law gov
erning the relations of the gas companies
OF the District and the citizens is vague
concerning the power of the local admins
tration to compel the laying OF mains in
newly opened sections. to accommodate
would-be consumers. Certain phrases sug-
gest that II was the intention of Congress
TO bring the corporations under a degree
Of compulsion In this regard. but whether
the specifications of new mains for private
consumption were to be drawn by the Com
missioners or by Congress remains a matter
for settlement 1t is apparently plain
that Congress did intend that the Com
rnissioners should have the power to COM
pei the laying OF mains for the lighting
of streets for the preservation of the pub
lie safety. but 1t failed to provide any
penalty for noncompliance with such
orders. STIMULATING that failure to obey
should be reported to it by the Commits

Today begins, at Liverpool, one of the
most interesting of oil ocean races, a con.
test which is likely to have a material in
fluence upon the future development of the
high-speed passenger steamship. The Gu
narders Lucania and Lustania will sail
simultaneously. with the intention of the
rival captains to make an absolutely even
start at Queenstown. at which port both
ships Will call. Then they will press on
steam and run for New York at top speed.
The interest in this contest arises chiefly
from the fact that it Is the first competi-
ton between an oid-style recprocating en-
CINE vessel and a turbire-fitted ship. The
Lucania is the fastest member of the Gu
nard fleet. the fastest. indeed. of all the
British liners, and high competitor for
oceanic donors. now held by the Germans.
The Lusitania is the first to be completed
of the same companys twin ships built on
turbine models. She has developed an ay-
erage speed of 25R kncts in the course of a
forty-eight- sea trial in conditions
ance on that occasion was of the best char
acter. and there is high expectation that
she will break all records on her first trip
despite the newness of machinery and the
comparative unfam.liarity of crew AMI off,
GERS with the new type of vessel. Indeed
1t Is believed that the LucaIha will serve
chiefly as a pace maker.
The rivalry between the English and Ger
man shipbuilders for the ocean speed su-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-09-07

premacy has been intense for years. with
the latter holding the palm for several sea-
sons. 1t seemed as though there was little
chance for the English to regain the cham
pionship until the successful trial OF the
Lusitania restored hopes. But even now
there are preparations In Germany to adopt
the turbine as the only means Of regaining
the lead In case the Lusitania breaks all
records. The new German liner Kronprin-
lessen Cecele is rated as the highest posi-
BILE development of the reciprocating engine.
Her propelling appar atus Is so gigantic that
it Is doubtful whether larger proportions
could be attained without passing the limit
of strength and safety.
The long-desired fnrr-day boat is not .et
actually in sight, although the Lusitania
may closely approach that point when she
has shaken down and gained her full
stride. 1t Is likely that IL the Germans UNI
dertake to build giant turbine they will
aim at the four-day mark, in which case
the English are apt 20 go them one better
and try for an even larger turbine steamer
that will get inside the four-day limit. If
this is accomplished the race for the three
day point will then DO on in earnest. There
Is no satisfying the craving for speed and
time economy.

Mr.. BRYAN in Kentucky.

The Kentucky campaign which opened
very promsingly for the republicans on
state issues. is taking on national aspect.
Secretary Taft has spoken on the one side'
and will be followed by Mr.. Cannon. Mr..
Fairbanks and others, while Mr. Bryan
will appear on the other side. The peerless
leader is booked for six speeches, and may
make more What effect this change in the
program will have on the situation is
question.
Mr. Bryan should feel at home in the
Blue Grass state asking votes 1or the
Gorbetes He was prime agency IN TX
ing Goebeism the Kentucky people he
toured the state in Mr. GoebeTs behalf, and
after the election. which had gone against
Mr.. Goebel. gave his Endorsement to the
contest for robbing the republicans OF their
victory He is closely allied, therefore, with
, the men who inherited the stolen goods ana
are now trading on them One OF these men
is Gov Beckham who wants to be Inlteo
States senator, and another is Auditor
Hugcr. who wants to be governor
Some of the benaticiaries, however, nave
nassed or are passing. from the heid. ohe
is Mr. blackburn. who supported the boepei
contest and as his share of the spoi was
unopposed for the senatorShip Atter"aru
he came under the displeasure OF the
machine. and was retired. He played III
luck, and fell into the arms of Mr. Roose-
valt who gave him job in Panama, where
he now is Mr.. Bryan. therefore, Will miss
the voice of Mr.. Blackburn when he reaches
Kentucky this year. That voice. which so
often shook the state with denunciation OF
republicans and republicanism. IS now a
sort of republican voice, reverberatins IN
the big ditch on the isthmu+.
Another man who. although not absent
from the state, will be of but little service
to his party in this campaign is Senator
McCreary. AS chairman - the state com
m!ttee lie worked for the benefit of Gov
Beckham in the latter's race i'll his own
name for governor. and carried the day.

| ponent in the primary and won the nomina-
| ton. That piece of red sandstone did It's
depressing work. and The subsequent pro-
ceedngs have interested Mr.. McCreary only
languidiy.
Still, there are many left. and Mr.. Bryan,
whirling from town to town on his special
train, viii fiji the dynasty which he helped
to socket in fraud in good fighting trim.

RooSevelt'S Future.

The London Spectator dominates Mr.
Roosevelt for ''proconsul to guide and in
spire the reconstruction of the Philippines.
There is bigger work neare home. If Mr..
Roosevelt is to retire from the presidency
in March, 1859. and does not want period
of rest or travel, he should by all means
go to Panama il 1t be arranged and
take charge of the canal work. That job
would inspire him Having been in
augurated by him, it would appeal to him
strongly. And should he be able to wind
up the business and open the canal by, say
1912, or 1914. the accomplishment would be
a tall feather even in his already richly
decorated cap. The Philippine problem is
in fair shape, and nobody really expects
it solved in the near future. But the canal
is pressing. and should be completed as
soon as possible.

A "Heaven-Born Divorce"
From the Philadelphia Inquirer

We have no patience whatever with the
socialistic, communistic free-lOve ideas of
poets and others who suddenly discover
that they have married the wrong woman
and seek to get a divorce on the ground
that they have found new heaven-born
affinity. The case arousing much at
tention just now in the newspapers is one
in point, but the novel feature is that the
wife is quite ready to get the divorce and
is on the best of terms with her rival, who
is to take her place as the bonds
are severed All talk some ballyrot about
love being foreordained from the beginning
of the world and matches being made in
heaven and that sort of thing. These folks
are either completely deceived or are try
ing to deceive themselves. and there will
pretty soon be rude awakening and the
sooner the better.
