Charles A. Prouty public are treated
ed alike and that the facilities are ade-
Quate to the needs of our time. NeY-
ertheless he does not propose to dis
turb the rights of stockholders and In
vestors in the enjoyment Of their prop
erty. In his opinion the Interstate
commerce commission is vested with.
a Jurisdiction so tremendous that It
cannot properly perform the functions
required. He thinks it is charged
with two sets of duties, requiring d.
verse qualifications. First, it must see
that these highways are in fact pub
lie and must enforce the commerce
laws, seeing that rates are reasonable
and enforcing penalties for violation.
On the other hand, he perceiyes that
in the near future the operation of the
railway must also be undertaken by
the government. These duties, being
largely executive, can best be discharg-
ed by a single head responsible to the
chief executive and answerable to the
spur of popular criticism. Therefore
Mr. Prouty advocates the creation Of
new body to perform these executive
functions in The operation Of the rail-
roads or to divide the present commits.
sion into two bodies, one Of which shall
be Judicial in its functions and the
other executive.
English Clergyman Enters Politics.
The Rev. r. J. Campbell. the English
clergyman who recently caused no lit
tie stir in theological circles through
his advocacy Of what is called the new
theology, seems inclined to enter the
field of politics and has been formally
invited by the Labor party to contest
the next vacancy in the parliamentary
representation of Cardiff. In address
ing a political meeting lately he de-
clared his conviction that Socialism is
the practical expression Of Christianity
as he understands it and that the land
question is at the bottom OF most Of
the social evils.

cityward Trend of Negroes.
In the concluding instal1ment Of Ray
Stannard Bakers series on the color
line in the American Magazine an ex-
PLANTATION is given why the negroes of
the south are drifting so rapidly to
the cities. 1t is that they feel the lack
of schooling for their children in the
country and the lack Of police protec-
ton. The difficulty of keeping sup
ply of good labor is causing the own
ers ef-the big plantations to sell of
small farms to the more thrifty me-
groes.
lllegality of the Saloon.
Judge Samuel r. Artman of the In
diana circuit court, whose decision that
the liquor traffic is inherently unlawful
AdS bIOuSuL ullu lulO luOre IQdn local
prominence, is now on lecture tour
defending this proposition. He cited
various decisions of the higher courts
holding that liquor selling is not con-
stltutional right, not moral and not
natural right. This he justified on
the ground that the saloon does not
advance the. well being and morality Of
citizens. Judge Artman does not speak
as prohibitionist or as a member of
any party, but merely as jurist. His
expenses are paid by a syndicate of In
dianapolis citizens, and he receives no
other pay. He is now in the east after
lecturing throughout the west.
Prouty's Ownership Address.
Among the various formal addresses

General Coxeys New Crusade.
General" ]. S. Coxey, who some
years ago led sensational march on
Washington, is now out with q new
scheme, the main feature. of which is
the absorption and operation by the
state Of railroads and other utilities
necessary to the peoples welfare. His
idea Is to have these holdings taken
over by the states, payment being
made by the issue of long term bonds,
these latter being deposited with the
federal government in return for an
issue of currency to the face value Of
the securities less / per cent for the
expense Of flotation. He thinks that
this loan could be repaid and the en-
tire expense of the state met by the
revenues accruing from the operation
OF the public utilities, thus making a
direct tax levy on private property I'M
necessary. He would in similar
manner extend his idea to counties
and municipalities. He declares the
idea Of controlling the big corporations
while their ownership rests with pri-
waite interests absurd and says that
public ownership will be the yeritable
salvation Of the country. Coxey is
said to have amassed considerable
property since lis famous march,

BatHeships to the Pacific.
Following the conference Of high
naval officials with the president or
ders were issued by Acting Secretary
of the Navy Newberry- to hasten all
preparations for the much discussed
cruise of the battleship feet to the IA
cific coast. He said that the fleet
would sail from Hampton Roads Dec.
10 for San Francisco in command of
Admiral Evans, expecting to arrive at
the destination April 10, distance of
1912 miles. The big warslips will
be under steam siXty-three days and
spend fifty-two days at target practice.
The sailing pace will be 10 knots an
hour, permitting GOLFERS to accompany
the feet part of the way. Over 100000
tons of coal will be consumed. A COM
plete machine shop on board the Pan
tier will be constantly at hand for re-
pairs.
Use of Nicknames Barred.
Public Printer Stillings has ordered
that hereafter all employees Of the
government printing Office shall adj
dress one another with the formal des
ignations 'sAIr" and Miss" in contra
distinction to the prevailing custom of
using nicknames.
Cruiser Stands the Test.
The cruiser Washington, which has
been in commission but few months,
recently had her final tests under the
supervision of the trial board Of the
navy department with most gratifying
results, her speed record being over
21 knots an hour and the action Of her
guns and turrets proving entirely sat
isfactory. She is an almost exact du-
plicate Of the cruiser Tennessee.
Submarines Good Sea Boats.
The naval board of inspection and
survey has forwarded to the navy de-
partment its report on the exhaustive
trials of the four submarine torpedo
boats-the Octopus, Viper, Cuttlef1sh
and Tarantula-constructed for the
government. Much attention was de-
voted to the open ocean trial of the
Viper, which was selected to make a
ninety six hour sea test for the pur-
pose of determining endurance. The
performance Of the Viper demonstrate
ed that she has radius of action Of
1000 miles without coming into port
or communicating with any other yes
sci for a period Of four days.

Record Breaking Motor Boat.


At Bridgeport, Conn. ]. 81. Hoad-
ley's motor boat Den. designed and
built by Herreshoff, went through the
water under three-Quarter pressure
at the rate of thirty-two miles IN hour.
The designer himself drove the craft,
with only one other person aboard.
He said after the test that the Den I'M
der full power with her spray shields
on would do forty miles an hour. This
would make her the fastest boat in
the world.
Power From SUMS Rays.
Frand Shuman, a Philadelphia chem
ist thinks he has solved the old prob
lem Of converting the suns heat into
power. He has constructed an APP
paratus consisting of wooden box
60 by so feet sunk into the ground.
This is covered with double top
Of ordinary dollhouse glass with a
one inch air space between the lay
ers. This space is filled with coiled
iron pipes painted black These pipes
contain ether and are connected with
small upright engine. The ether, be-
ing converted to vapor, passes through
the engine, developing three and a half
horsepower, thence into condenser
and back again to the hot box. No
fuel is used, the liquid being con-
verified into a yapor by the heat of the
chine will not run in cloudy weather.
Martyr to Experiments.
The death OF DR.. Seneca D. Powell,
a member Of the faculty OF the Post
graduate Medical school of New York
city, is believed to have been directly
due to his experim ents in the cause of
medical science. In his efforts to dem
onstrate that alcohol was an antidote
to carbolic acid the doctor frequently
swallowed what would have been a
| fatal dose of the poison and then took
alcohol. Many of these experiments
were made In the presence Of classes
at the school where he was an In
| structor.
Candy and Alcohol Similar.
DR.. A. G. Abbott, health commission
er Of Pennsylvania, has advanced the
theory that "the appetite for alcohol
and the appetite for candy are funda.
mentally the same, the choice Of one
or the other indulgence being deter.
mined by the temperament of the In.
dividual." IN support OF this the fact
is cited that there has been a falling
of In the amount of alcohol consumed
per capita during the past few years
and a material increase In the con.
sumption of sugar in its various forms
It is further stated that chemically
sugar and alcohol are similar, and
their physiological action is in par,
the same, and both to some extent
lsupply the demand for q concentrated
and quick acting fuel for the body,
Much Of the prejudice which formerly
existed against the use Of candy has
disappeared, and 1t Is now used, espe.
cially In the form of chocolates, by
exhausted business men and even by
soldiers on the eve Of battle.

Against Regulating Amusements.

The church papers are: discussing
again the old subject OF whether indi-
yidual judgment In the matter Of
amusements should be ruled by the
church, stimulated by the stand taken
by Bishop Andrews in recent article
for the New York Methodist Review.
He says the subject Of amusements Is
scarcely touched In the New Tesla.
ment and that the Christian must
find duty by the rule Of general conse-
4uences" and by the fitness Of an ac-
ton to advance righteousness In the
Individual and society. He doubts
either the right or the expediency Of
the church attempting to prohibit any
class Of amusements to Its members.
Catholic Heresy Syllabus.
The text OF the recent syllabus pro.
mulgated recently by Pope Plus,
which has now reached America and
been published In the Catholic papers,
defines as heresies sixty-fye doctrines.
mainly those held by liberal men with
In the church In Europe. The Litera-
ry Digest says that among the Amer
lean Catholic Journals acquiescence is
general. Its reception in France and
Germany is far less cordial, though
there Is no open revolt among the
clergy. Ono important French week
~, the Lyons Domain, has suspended
rather than take tho responsibility Of
attacking the decree. Its editors say
that the task Of reconciIing religion
and science within the church has
been made impossible by these pro-
hibitons against all railroads.&c. meth

Mrs. Ryan Papal Countess.
The fact has just leaked out that in
December last Pope Plus conferred
upon Mrs. Thomas t: Ryan the title
OF countess on account of her numer-
GUS and muni1icent gifts to the church,
amounting to more than $4,000, 600 In
the last four years. 1t is now reported
that Mr.. Ryan is to be made noble
of the Holy Roman church.
