It's success lies in the unequivocal manner In
which it places responsibility for fast driving
on every chauffeur. law fixing the speed limit
really operates to protect chauffeurs against
whom illegal rate of speed cannot be def
nitely proved. and many examples show the
difficulty of establishing the violation of a speed
ordinance. When no fat maximum rate is pre-
scrbed it is the tendency of judicial practice to
take cognizance of all the circumstances in each
particular case and gradually to establish true
standard of accountability

ARTIFICIAL COAL.

A marked and hopeful advance in the manu-
facture of what We may term artificial coal
is reported by Mr.. Warner, the American Con-
sui at Leipsic. Germany. The basis OF the in
dustry is, as might be supposed. peat which
has from time immemoriaI been utilized in
some form as fuel. In Ireland it is commonly
employed. for domestic purposes III a crude
state being merely cut into cakes and dried.
In that form, still containing q large percent
a ge of moisture and emitting much smoke in
combustion, il is not available for use in fac
tories or on railroads or steamships and ac-
cordngly various attempts have been made to
refine it and to put it into the form of bri-
quettes. Hitherto however, the cost of TINS
treating II has been practically prohibitive of
It's general use, and the artificial coal thus
produced has been unsatisfactory for the rea-
son that the drying processes employed have
not removed enough of the water Now. how
ever, Mr. Warner reports that an effective and
comparatively inexpensive method Of bursting
the vegetable cells and extracting the moisture
has been devised, through treatment in a
vacuum which removes 90 per cent OF the
water
The result of the new process is not soft

been produced but n compact body resembling

sistency, and actually superior 10 much coal

AUTOMOBILE REGULATIOy

Another attempt is being made to harmonize
the interests OF the man with ski1tish horse,
the one with q 60horsepower auto and 100
horsepower speed mania. the road builder and
the taxpayer who grudgingIy puts part of his

SENATOR LAFOLLETE
PRAISES w. J. BRYAN
In Address Before Religious Assembly
at Lincoln, He Expresses Admira-
ton For Peerless One.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 13.--Before an
audience of 600 people at the Epworth
League Assembly here last night,
Senator Robert NJ LaFollette of Wis.
consin, expressed great admiration and
friendship for William Jennings Bryan
but insisted he, himself, was a Repub.
lican. The fight against the railroads
to secure lower rates and no discrim-
nations, he said, had been started
back in the seventies by six Congress.
men from Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota.
These policies are not the products of
the minds of either Bryan or Roose-
welt, stated Senator LaFollette.
A man in the audience accused the
senator of being Democrat but he
emphatically denied it. He spoke for
some time on the Aldrich-Vreeland
currency BILL which he denounced as
a vicious measure. After he had read
the roll call on this measure, showing
that Senator Burkett had voted for 1t
and Senator Brown against it, some
one in the audience asked:
"What is the matter with Burkett"'
"You will have to decide that for
yourself my friends" was the senator's
reply. II simply give facts. You will
have to draw your own conclusions"

Results in Craft Being Slightly
Damaged.

Lemans, France, Aug. 13.-The
Wright Brothers aeroplane suffered an
accident here this morning which will
require several days and possibly a
week to repair After two superb
flights. Wilbur Wright essayed a new
and daring method. He stopped the
motor at height of rs feet and made
an effort to come to earth on a gradu-
al descending glide. His calculations
were not absolutely correct and the
left wing Of the machine came in con.
tact with the ground tearing the frame
of the machine. Wright was uninjured.
Wright said he did not regard the
accident as serious and explained that
1T was only incidental to gaining ex-
|perience to acquire complete mastery
|of aerial navigation. Wright's fight
this morning eclipsed all his former
efforts. He made complete tours and
scared over the tops of the trees. Ac-
cording to the official time he was in
the air eight minutes and SO seconds.
He encountered 15.mile breeze, but
in spite of this, displayed greater mast.

Through fear.

"It is significant that you not only

Itribution to the national campaign

delay of reform has been that few
great corporations have been supply

policies after election. Our campaign
fund is coming from the people and
the people will control the administra

ernment will really belong to the peo
