injuries received through defective
sidewalk. At the time the Judgment
was secured there were not funds
sufficient to pay it SO warrants were
issued to the claimant who has final
ly secured a settlement. The interest
on the amount for the time the war
rants were outstanding, at 51a per

A KILOWATT HOUR.

Owners of electric motors, ETC., are
often puzzled by the different terms
used for the measurement of electric
current The words "ampers,"
volts" and watts" are quite mean
ingless to the uninitiated and when
price of current per kilowatt hour
is used the average unscientific man
doesn't grasp its meaning.
To explain the term needs a clear
definition and then a comparison.
Everyone will understand that a GER
tain amount of force must be used
to drive electric current through q
circuit This force is measured by
volts. Thus we have 110-volt cur
rents and 220-volt currents, the one
expressing just twice the force of the
other; but the quantity of current
passing through circuit depends
upon the force and the resistance.
and so the quantity is expressed by
a different term, "ampers." Now the
efficiency of the current depends up
on both force and quantity, and to
express this efficiency of united ac-
ton we multiply the force by the
quantity-that is, the volts by the
ampers, and express the results in
watts. Thus 110 volts multiplied by
{ ampers is $50 watts, or 22O volts
multiplied by ampers is 1,1O0
watts. A kilowatt is of course 1000
watts, which is the equivalent of
about one and one-third horse pow
er.
But what kilowatt hour is worth
may best be judged by what-it will
do. Thus. kilowatt hour will light
20 16-candle power jncandescent
lamps or two standard arc lamps for
one hour. 1t will pump 100 gallons
of water to height of 25 feet; COM
press 47O cubic feet of free air 100
pounds; drive an ordinary passen-
ger elevator 1850 feet; print 2,500
circulars on a 15x21 Gordon press,
or 1000 sheets on a 32X47 cylinder
press; run sewing machine for 20
hours; supply air for a church organ
for one service; mix two and one
half cubic yards of concrete; heat
two-pint chatting dish for four hours;
mix sufficient dough for 1900
loaves of bread and grind 500 pounds
of coffee.

REVISING THE TARIFF.

the Senate TO make such reductions
in the duties as many believed the
party was pledged to and which the
consumers rightfully expected, has
led to some severe criticism of Presi-
dent Taft because he has not under
taken by the exertion of executive
influence to disrupt the party organ
izetion and overthrow the Aldrich
regime. While sharing sincerely in
the disappointment over the failure
of Congress more completely to re-
wise the tariff we cannot share in the
criticism of the president. Thought
full consideration of the situation
which has confronted Mr.. Taft will.
we believe, convince reasonable men
that under trying circumstances his
course has been the wisest that could
have been adopted in the interest of
the party, the consumer, and the
prosperity of the country. The dan
ger of swapping horses in the middle
of a stream has long been realized.
The danger of swapping tried and
skillful leader, backed by a thor
oughly disciplined organization, for
leaderless coalition composed for
the most part of perfectly irrespon-
sible Democrats, must be obvious.
Taken at their face value the pro-
testations of the Democrats and the
progressive Republicans seem to in
dicate that were they in control their
influence would be exerted to pro-
mote a revision downward. Examin-
ed in the light of their votes on vari-
Gus schedules the reverse is demon
strated to be the case. Theoretically
every progressive Republican and
every Democrat advocates a general
reduction of the duties, but when
ever these statesmen have been con-
fronted with a schedule in which
their own constituents were vitality
interested they have not only sup
ported the high rate of duty proposed
by the Finance Committee, but in a
number of instances would have
made the duties still higher had they
been in control. In the case of iron
ore majority of the Democrats vot-
ed for a duty of 25 cents a ton and
would have restored the Dingley rate
of 40 cents had it not been for the
Intervention of the Finance Commit
tee. A majority of the Democrats
voted against free lumber and would
restore the duty of 50 per thousand
were they able. Senator Bacon OF
Georgia has proposed high duty on
long staple cotton and his amend
ment will doubtless command the
support of majority of his party
colleagues. 1t has, in fact, become
obvious that were the so-called in
surgents and the Democrats in con-
troll of the Senate they would impose
Unfortunately high duties OH those
commodities in which they are espe-
cially interested and produce tariff
bill so inconsistent and dispropor-
tionate in it's relative schedules as
to force deadlock with the House
and thus prolong the tariff debate for
many months. No just estimate can
be made of the Presidents course
without giving full consideration to
the alternative he would have been
compelled to accept had he determin-
ed to exert his influence against the
Republican organization.
