the public. An experiment that is being
tried by the Pennsylvania railroad on all

in the generation of excess steam, is the

Fuel Economy.

For years the advocates of smoke pre-.
vention have been preaching the doctrine
of economy in an effort TO persuade fur
mace owners and fuel consumers that the
fouling, dis1ig uring. unwholesome emana-
tons from their chimneys have repre-
scented heavy waste. This lesson has
been learned with difficulty, and a smoke
reduction movement has been conse-
quently hampered by the feeling on the
part of many smoke producers that It
was inspired chiefly by esthetic consider
atoms. Tardily the fuel users are really
ing THAT the dark gray or black smoke
their furnaces have been giving off has
stood for large expenditures in coal.
With the exhaustion of the coal supply
in prospect and subject at this time OF
federal consideration. the question of
smoke becomes of acute interest TO all
fuel users.
Especially on the railroads has the
smoke nuisance been not only a source
of public discomfort. but of extravagant
fuel waste. Statisticians might figure
out the number of million dollars worth
OF unconsumed coal blown out OF locomo-
tive smoke stacks since the establish
Inent OF railways in America, but the

Mr.. Kern was the democracy's best

list was mediocre almost to the point of
absurdity. Judge Gray would not permit
the use of his name. Senator Rayner
likewise would not consider the matter
Gov. Johnson might have been drafted
but the Bryanites would not have him.
The lower south had no man Of strength

democracy claims, a change has come
over the country. Mr.. Kern should be ac-
ceptable to 1t.
Indiana. long a democratic state, has

This year the republicans will have to fight
hard for all they may hope to get, and
the nomination of Mr.. Kern will add to

Mr.. BRYAN and One Term.

Promptly upon receiving the news OF
his nomination Mr. Bryan made state
ment in which this appears:

position in the world. and no one occupy

public questions biased by personal am
bition. Recognizing his responsibility 10

he is not planning for second term.

sions. that If elected shall not be can
didate for reelection.
Of Mr. Bryan's sincerity there can be
no question He means this. But he
speaks by the light OF today. without ex-
perience in the great office to which he
aspires If invested with the duties of the
presidency he will be. as men before him
have been. subject TO the demands and
allurements and influences of the place.
He is strong man. but as strong as
he have yielded And he will yield.
Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 made similar
announcement and in the same good
faith. The announcement from him was
good politics He had been jumped over
the heads of the party's national lead
others-and they were thus encouraged to
feel that the way would be clear for
another try in 1883. So they all worked
for him with will. But success undid

a second nomination. then for third,
and only the hopeless state to which he
had reduced his party prevented him from
standing for fourth. His admirers

II elected. Mr.. Bryan will have hostile
Senate ION his hands" for the full length
of his term He will be able to do moth
ing except upon a compromise basis. And
the leading things for which he stands
are not susceptible of compromise with a
Senate led by republicans of the stamp of
Lodge and Aldr1ch. By 1912. therefore,
little will appear as the result of his cleo
ton but changes in the federal offices.
Now. Mr.. Bryan's ambition is not to be
a mere distributor of patronage. He
wants legislative results, and four years
will yield him nothing. To secure any
thing of value he will have to keep the
reins in his hands and let time work its
changes on the Senate. Such will be his
party's edict. He will at that time be its
best asset. His denomination will be inn
perative In it's interests. Could he, would
he refuse? OF course not.
Mr.. Bryan should not delude himself.
A denomination is matter of precedent,
with many things to support it. If elected
this year he is as certain to run again
four years hence under the rule of the
game as he lives. He will neither be, nor
care to be at that time. the master Of that
matter. Fate will command him, and he
will obey.

The Fire Marshal's View.

The District fire marshal adds his voice
to the chorus of those who demand sane
celebration of Independence day. He Is
In a position to know to what extent the
Indulgence in barbaric patriotism costs
the city, and he believes that the rigid en-
forcement of regulations against the stor-
age and sale of fireworks would greatly
reduce the number of blazes and lessen
the menace to life and property. A state
ment made by him illustrates the peculiar
absur1ity of a system of issuing per-
mits heretofore practiced. Capt. Nchol-
son says:
Under the system which empowers the
fire marshal to issue permits for storage
and sale of fireworks it is practically
compulsory that such permits be issued if
owners of buildings and proprietors of
stores have complied with the rules of the
fire department.
In other words. custom has heretofore
been so strong that it was impossible to
refuse the privilege of keeping and sell
ing fireworks to any applicant who OBJ
served the few fundamental rules gov
erning the storage of the goods There
was no law giving them the right to en-
gage in this highly dangerous traffic and
yet under the pressure of so-called public
sentiment the business was continued
with disastrous results. Now the Com
missioners have recognized the fact that
this sentiment has ceased and that a cur
rent Of opposition to the barbaric practice
has set in to demand a reform.
The fire regulations governing the stor-
age and sale of gasoline are strictly drawn
and enforced and are not waived on any
special occasion. There is no reason what
ever why an exception should be made in
favor of a commodity which is quite as
dangerous as gasoline in itself and in its
use on the Fourth of July infinitely more
so, from being widely scattered and placed
in the hands Of irresponsible children.
The fact is being borne in upon the
public authorities that indulgence in fire.
crackers. pistols and other forms of bar
barrie demonstration on Independence day
is not required in the least by the princi-
pies Of patriotism. 1t is nonsense to argue
that the spirit of the Fourth will langush
II restrictions are placed upon the sale
and use of dangerous weapons and de-
structive pyrotechnics. If this country
cannot keep alive its best traditions and
cherish a real affection for the funda-
mental doctrines Of its government with
out indulging once a year in senseless
slaughter and wholesale incendiarism the
institution might as we'll pass into neglect.

The Bryan Platform.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Denver has beaten the record OF Chi
cago not only In the sustained duration
of the shouting but In the unprecedented
extension of the platform. 1t is 60 long
and deals with so many things that the
important declarations are Ubscured In
the mass OF verhiage and in the number
and variety OF populistic fads and fancies
that struggled for expression. In all IT'S
essentials. however, 1t is Bryan plat
form. Even the phraseology Is recognized
as Bryan's own He dictated II. and its
very variety and the lack of logical co..
herence in its multiform suggestions are
charact ersttc OF the candidate.

victory of the home club, yet there is
no dissatisfaction when game fight re-
suits in defeat by a narrow margin.
The man with the base ball habit
dearly loves the close pinches. the mar
row escapes from defeat. the process
known to the bleachers as pulling out
of hole" Pitchers battles" are not
as popular as smuggling matches" but
the ideal game. whether of the one
character or the other. is that in which
victory is not won until the final in
ming. or in which either side has Il
chance to win until the last man is put
out. Such was Yesterdays game In an
exceptional degree, and it Is a tribute to
the sport and to every player in 1t that
there is no longer in the minds of the
tens of thousands who constitute the
daily army Of base ball attendants the
slightest doubt of the good faith and the
earnest desire to win of every player
engaged in the sport.
