revolutions did not exceed a hundred
to the minute. The motor of an auto
mobile presents different conditions.
It's piston has a short play, and often
makes 1000 complete journeys to the
minute. Obviously, swift combustion
in the cylinder is essential to efficiency
and economy in such an engine. and
that is where alcohol has proved
more or less of disappointment. Mr..
White declares with emphasis that the
faults can be corrected by the addi-
ton of some other highly inf1amma-
BILE material What the French call al
cohol carbure,'' for instance, is a mix
ture of alcohol and benzol The COM
pound is open to two objections, how
ever 1t is said to leave deposit OF
SCOT in the cylinder and valves, and it
is pretty expensive. In order to get
quick action as much as so per cent
of benzol is sometimes employed, and
the supply of this second member of
the partnership is rather limited. Ben
zol, also called benzene, is a coal tar
derivative, whereas benzine, with
which it is enormously COMPOUNDED,
and. gasolene are petroleum distillates.
According to Herr Fehrmann, a high
German authority on alcohol engines,
better results attend the use of acety-
lene in place of benzol. Acetylene
leaves no SCOT, he says, and Mr.. White
declares that it develops more heat
and greatly facilitates the starting OF
the motor.
How much acetylene is needed the
writer for 1.-The Engineering Magazine"
fails to say, but it may be presumed
that the quantity required would not
add greatly to the cost Of this blend"
Another point on which further infOr-
nation is desirable is the method by
which the acetylene-Whicil is a gas
is added to vapor of alcohol before eX-
plosion. Acetylene is produced by wet
ting calcium carbide, a solid. If a rea-
sonably simple bit of apparatus, con-
veniently placed under an automobile,
will serve the purpose, Mr.. Whites
recommendations will deserve careful
consideration.
Since the discovery of a cheap source
of acetylene in this country, ten or II
years ago the gas has been employed
extensively either alone as an illumin
ant Or to enrich water gas. Apparent
ly it can be produced in unlimited
quantities, and if it can be- used for

ment of the Moro province expended
about 1900 pesos ($75O) for roads and

the development of power, 1t will have
new claim to popular favor. 1t would
be- a clever stroke of policy for the
men who are now engaged in manu-
featuring calcium carbide, to examine
Mr.. Whites statements, and determine
what further steps are necessary to
open up a fresh market for their pro-
duct The matter will doubtless re-
ceive the attention of the makers Of
stationary gas engines, and the build
ers of automobiles also. If, without
any change in construction, their ma
chimes will prove, equally we'll adapted
to the use Of two kinds of fuel as dis
similar as alcohol and gasolene, it
ought to be for their interest to learn
and promulgate the fact. More than
one shrewd judge expects a diminuition
in the worlds supply of gasolene be-
fore many years, in spite of it's present
low price. A satisfactory demonstra-
ton that the faults of alcohol can be
overcome easily would, moreover, give
a new stimulus to projects for it's man
ufacture.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

1t is asserted in the morning paper
that between the republican and tn
democratic platforms there is scarcely
a single apreciable difference" This
is fatty untrue, says the Oregon Jour
nal. without going into details here
the democratic platform declares fo'
what are understood as the Roosevelt
policies These the Chicago convention
not only did not declare for, but spe-
officially rejected by a vote of seven
or eight to one.
But. it might be slightly interest
ing to inquire, why is our contempor-
airy fighting so shy of the republican
platform and the recent republican
record? If one platform is just the
same as the other, how and why is the
republican party any better than the
democratic party? If, with all it's tend
encies," and traditions" and ''princi-
PIES and experience, the republican
party has not put forth any better
platform than the democratic party
what has it to boast of?
The republican party has done some
good things. The rank and file of it
are good citizens, ana are to be trusted
But some bad leaders and officials have
gotten to the front and some bad pol
ices have been pursued. This has been
true. no doubt, of both parties; must
be- true to some extent in a republic
or democracy; but the thing to do is
gradually to improve, to weed out
bad men, to empower men with au-
thority who will truly serve the peo-
pie. With all it's brilliant array of
public men, the republican party
has allowed in its long career some
unworthy ones to come to the front.
There is a despoiling of the pub
lie domain in the interest of rail-
roads; there is the destruction of
forests to enrich lumber barons
there IS the system of taking drib-
lets from the many to fill the pock-
cts of TIE few, called the protective
tariff There are Aldrich and Can
n'n and Foraker-and others, who
have gained place and power to the
peoples hurt.
The people are seeing these
things, are going to try to correct
these wrongs to some extent. They

tiCn FOR the voter, IL CO.. slider
The republican voters in the mass
are all right, of course, but what
they need to do, and seem to be de-
termined to do, is to discipline their
party and turn out some of their
leaders and unworthy public charac-
ters.
No man is perfect; then surely no
party can do SO. A party. like a
man, needs at least occasional chas-
tisement for it's sins, correction for
its errors. The people cannot afford
to worship party

POURING HOT SHOT"

President Roosevelt is quoted in
the morning papers as having taken
unto himself some credit for pouring
hot shot" into the camp of the demo-
Gratis.
A different sort of an interview was
expected from President Roosevelt this
morning.
People who read newspapers looked
in vain for some sort of a reply to the
singing rebuke administered yesterday
by Mr.. Bryan, when the latter gentle
man called upon the chief executive, to
make good or retract his statements
regarding the alleged connections of
Governor Haskell with the Standard
Oil company and his loosely yelled in
situation that the Standard Oil COM
pany and other illegal trusts were sup
porting the democratic ticket in this
campaign.
Mr.. Bryan asked Mr.. Roosevelt to
prove these assertions or at least to
indicate where proof might be had.
Friends of President Roosevelt had
expected him to do SO; up to this
morning he had failed. This afternoons
dispatches indicate that he is trying
hard to find something to substantiate
his statements, but that thus far he
has failed.
The day when a campaign can be
conducted and won on lies is past The
people are too intelligent to believe
everything they see in print, even
though the printed word is over the
signature of the president of the Unit
ed States
Mr.. Roosevelt must make good on
his assertion or be branded as a very
cheap liar.
A lie from his lips is no less lie
because it comes from his lips.
In the final analysis of truth, he
must make good with the same degree

TRANS MISSISISSIPPI CONGRESS

The Trans Mississippi Commercial
congress, this year holds its nineteenth
annual session in the city of San Fran
cisco, October 9Th to 10th. This is the
first important gathering to be held in
San Francisco since the disaster in
1906. Since that time, the city, which
was practically obliterated, has been
reconstructed on broader lines. and
the enormous losses by the fire more
than restored in the completion of sky
scrapers and massive structures of
various kinds. 1t is greater San Fran
cisco in every sense of the word, and
delegates who attend the meeting of
this commercial organization will be
afforded every opportunity to see all
that is to be seen to the best possible
advantage.
The chamber of commerce and other
commercial bodies have united to make
this meeting success, realizing that
the opportunity is one that offers them
ample scope for the exploitation of
their achievements. The railroads have
contributed to the success of the gath
ering by making unusually low rates
at this season Of the year, which will
apply from all points west of the Mis-
sissippi river
The committed on entertainment
was arranged for boating excursions
upon the bay and elsewhere in the
vicinity, but the chief attraction to
visitors will be the city of San Fran
cisco herself
About the only striking reminder. of
cfr
fire and earthquake caused, is the city
hall, which stands a majestic ruin,
Well worth travelling many miles to see.
In the work of reconstruction. the
lower part of the city has been raised
from four to six feet. and other
changes have been made, which add to
the city's attraction.
For this occasion low railroad rates
have been established from all points
west of the Mississippi river.

ALCOHOL FOR AUTOMOBILES.

Whether internal combustion engines
now operated with gasoline can be
made to work equally well with alco-
hol is question which has been much
discussed since the enactment of the
law excepting from tax spirits used for
industrial purposes. Conflicting opin-
ions have been expressed. but a pos
sible way of reconciling them is sug-
gested in 1.-THE Engineering Magazine
by Thomas L. White, who in q pre-
vious issue of the same periodical de-
scribed a cheap method of manufact-
uring alcohol. Mr.. White there de-
scribed a new Swedish process, utiliz-
ing peat, which, in his judgment,
would make it possible to market al
cohol at a profit for five cents a gall
lon.
The efficiency of alcohol in the de-
velopment of power must depend a
good deal on the type of engine in
which it is used. Most of the encour-
agement obtained from recent expert
ments was secured with a heavy sta
tionary engine suited to farm work. 1t
had a relatively long stroke, and the
