CuEAPNEsS AND USEFULNESS or
ALCOHOL

Ask the Western or Eastern farmer
and he will toll YOU that 200 bushels is
not an unusual crop OF potatoes to tho
acre on many of the nations potato
patches. This quantity will furnish fully
fifty collOns of alcohol. The countrY's
potato harvest reaches in an average
year 10000 no bushels. bushel of or
binary field corn such as is grown on
the thousand-acre and observation-disclosures
fields In Kansas. Missouri and Iowa will
yield five gallons Of spirits by modern
distillation. Allowing but four gallons
to the bushel for the sake Of argument
the national crop OF this cereal would
produce the enormous quantity Of ten
billion gallons alone. While we call the
raising Of sugar beets one Of our infant
industries and have only begun their
cultivation, we have the waste product
of 100000 tons for raw material for our
spirit. The cane fields OF Louisiana alone
would contribute every drop of alcohol
needed in the Southland for hight power
and other purposes or coure It is pre-
posterous to suppose that all of our pota
toes or corn or any other staple Will be
converted into alcohol, but in big
crop year, when corn for example goes
begging at thirty or thirty-ive cents a
busEel. there is an opportunity TO turn !;
into something which will maze 1t worth
perhaps. double it's value in the original
form. There will he no need for burn
ing It in the stove BECAUSE 1t is cheaper
than buying coal. as has been done many
times on the prairie. The manufacture
of alcohol thus creates a new source Of
our leading surplus crops, which should
be a safety valve Of the utmost import
ance in regulating production and in
maintaining prices.
Yes. these figures seem Incredible for
the reason that We have considered alco-
hol as n rare. a costly commodity; but
before Congress decided upon its release
from bondage, committees obtained con-
vincing testimony that the spirit Is not
merely one OF the most useful servants
Of Humanity but one of the most easily
| obtained,
We remember that the farmer lighted
! his home with spirit lamps. Why did
he not use kerosene oil? Because
the spirit gave him more illumination for
less money. In recent years the gas
mantle has become very popular because
Of tine light 1t affords for reading. A
versatile Frenchman discovered that the
| mantle can be utilized with an alcohol
burner. gallon of alcohol is sufficient
| to keep 1t burning AS hours. suppos-
ing that each hour it furnishes a light
equal to that of tho candle A modern
lamp burning the highest grade of kero-
sene oil requires ono gallon to burn 49,
condle-powcr hours as the expert terms
It. Therefore gallon of spirit will fur
nish nearly twice as much illumination
as Kerosene, In fact II 1t sold at thirty
one cents a gallon, It would be more
economical to use than kerosene at fif
teen cents a gallon.-Appletons Maya

The Randolph Herald last week printed

The Legislature of 1909 was a somewhat

DEMOCRATS AND THE PRESIDENCY

The announcement that William j.
BRYAN is to make a series of campaign
speeches in Vermont as well as in other
New England States, shows that he is
determined to capture the democratic
nomination for the presidency of the
United States If such a thing is possible.
The fact that the Nebraskan leader is
to De accompanied by George Fred Will
Jams, who was his Sponsor when he APP
peared in Burlington in the campaign Of
is also confident that the western man
will be his party's candidate in 1905.
1t is significant, however, that ever
since Mr.. Bryan made his now famous
utterance in favor of the government
ownership of railroads on his return
from Europe, the southern States have
been inclined to look with dsfavor on his
claims to the democratic nomination for
the presidency. Before that time it was
supposed that Bryan would surely sweep
that section as regards the election OF
vention, but since the speech in question
was delivered in New York talk of Bryan
has been growing fainter in the South
Government ownership Of railroads as a
policy is so utterly at variance with the
habit of thought in the South that its
suggestion created something of a
panic.
