WILL HAVE NO STEAM LINES.
Sweden Probably TO Be First Country
in the World to Electrify Al
Railroads.

Sweden will probably BE- the first
country in the world to abolish steam
locomotives on all its railroads. For
Sweden has no coal of its own and
has to import all that 1t uses.
Sweden began in 1905 to experiment
with electric traction on it's railroads.
Electric motors were tried first on a
small stretch Of road, and the results
were so satisfactory that it has been
decided to electrify all the lines. The
government has bought several large
water falls, which will furnish the
power; five central hydro-electric sta
tons are to be established for the op.
kuometers, and secondary stations, sit
uated about twenty miles apart, will
send the motive power in two direc-
tons in order that any point on the
system may receive power from two
different stations. These generating
stations will also supply motive power
direct to factories, the motors of which
are now run by engines burning petro-
leum in their furnaces.
The electric motors are to run at
60 kilometers an hour for express
trains and As kilometers for way
trains, which is a little more rapid
than the speed at which the trains run
today.
The Swedish engineers calculate
that the identification of these 1000
kilometers Of railway will by 1920 eff
feet a saving of about $s6O,0O0 year
in the operation of the roads.

Preservino Railroad Ties.

Consul w. d. O'Shaughnessy Of
Aguascalientes writes concerning the
successful treatment of railroad ties
in Mexico:
1.-THE local tie-treating plant Of the
Mexican Central railroad has reached
an output of $500 ties day, making
1t one of the largest concerns Of its
kind in the world. The local plant is
the first in the history of railway OPP
GRAFTON to make success Of the treat
ment of ties by the Ebano oil process.
1t is expected that the treatment will
prolong the life of. each tie from 8 to
IL years.
"The process consists of placing the
ties in huge cylinders, which are then
filled with oil and subjected to heat
and pressure. After seven hours the
oil is forced out of the cylinders and
the ties removed. The average tie
treated here absorbs about three gal
Ions of oil, which contains large
amount of solid matter, and it Is this,
after being forced into the wood, that
acts as preservative. The average
penetration into pine ties IL about
two inches; in harder woods it is less:
but in all cases the oil protects them
from the water and will keep out
moisture for years. The cost Of the
new treatment is said to be much less
than the old treatment Of zinc chic
ride. Must Of the ties received here
are pine, from the United States, but
recently shipload was received from
Japan. Consular Report.

WHY FIGHT THE MOON LAW.

Why are the brewers and distillers
fighting the Moon law? If it be true
that twelve saloons will sell as much
as twenty, and that bootleggers and
blind pigs will sell more, why all this
outcry against the new law? One sa-
loon to every 200 families should be
sufficient TO supply the legitimate de-
-nand for liquors. Allowing for the
sake of argument that 80 out of the
200 are drinking men, OF the class that
drink publicly at the bars. each OF
these must spend SIS piece before the
saloon does more than pay expenses
for we are assured by those who have
had experience that saloons ex-
penses run up to Sio 900 in a wear Isn't
a tax of SIS a head on three-fourths
the number of family heads all any
reasonable vice could ask? Why dgh.
the Moon law?
None, not even those who by train
ing and Inheritance look on the retail
ing Of liquors as a legitimate and
quasi-respectab business. argue that
one saloon TO 1000 can not supply the
demand they consider legitimate No
body will assert that one saloon 10
1,0o0-may not be forced to pay as much
revenue for the privilege of assisting
the lover of personal liberty to trade
his cash for red lump at the end OF
his nose, blotched counrenance, pres
ent misery and ultimately an early
death. There isn't any trouble about
the revenue" derived from saloons.
Why multiply them?
Joined with the brewer and dis
tiller as a matter of course are the
saloonists who know that the Moon
law means the eli1nina ton of one third
their number. To these may be ad-
ded the politician whose chief support
comes by reason of his subserviency 10
the saloon element. With these few
men who are willing and anxious to
multiply saloons because the outlawed
nature of the traffic affords opportun-
ity to raise rents. To these are Joined
the army of men who fear change.
The Moon law is al excellent thing
as far as it goes. Il is a step in rhe
right direction. L paniates but it does
something. It may never become en-
tirely operative however. I, is quite
possible that the legislature will sup.
plant it with acts vastly more s.rtn-

SENATOR cuMM1Ns.


seunator Albert B. Cummins is the
recipient, these days, of many hand
some boauets. Some of his best haters
in the old days are kind enough to ad-
NIT he is a great big man-big enough
and honest enough to correctly repre-
sent the state of Iowa in the United
States senate. Men who, in the old
days would go a slong way round to
helittle the capabilities of Cummins are
singing his praises to heaven now. "a
deep thinker. A courageous. able
statesman. A splendid mind" these are
some of the expressions you are likely
to see in the standpat press now-a-
days.
Yes, it's little different but none the
less deserving. Cumnains is big man.
He's big enough to fill with a lasting
credit the position of any of his pre-
decessors He is as faithfully repre-
senting the people of Iowa in the
United States senate as any man who
has ever gone before. And there are
chosa who have done great deal less
with similar opportunity.

FLIRTING FOR RECREATION.
Harvard Professor Says II Gives Prope,

Harvard Professor Says II Gives Proper
knowledge Of Social Life.
Professor George Herbert Palmer Of
Harvard university, twice married and
reported to be contemplating a third
venture In matrimony, has come forth
with the pronunciamento that little
f]irting-properly conducted, Of course
is not only advisable, but even Inn
perative, for the average college boy
and girl.
Flirting is the surest road toward
the proper knowledge of social life. de-
clares the professor, who has the dis
tinction of being the oldest member Of
the Harvard faculty and whose Sec
ond wife, Alice Freeman Palmer, was
president of Wellesley college from
1881 to 1887.
II think the girls Of Radcliffe and
the boys OF Harvard devote too much
of their time to study" says Professor
Palmer. '"rhey should mingle little
frivolity with their studies. In other
words, they should flirt little.
81 am reminded Of girl graduate OF
Radcliffe who studied hard. She new
er went anywhere. While the other
girls were having a good time she re-
manned in her room studying. She was
graduated with high honors, and when
l was bidding her goodby told her
that she would have to flirt good and
hard to make up for lost time. and she
said that she would.
"Of course it makes good deal Of
difference who does the flirting, where
and with whom. The time, the place
and the boy and girl have good deal
to do with it. II all could see the
tired out boys and girls that I see all
would, / know. admit that little bit
of flirting now and then is real recrea-
ton. Mix things up bit, sprinkle little
flirting into the studies. One can have
a little of both and still come out all
right at the end"

that consumption may be cured by the

however, that the voters Of the coun-
