COST OF MAKING ICE.

Uncle Sans Venture May Prove Of
Interest TO Municipalities.
From tho Springfield CissS) Union.
Ice consumers everywhere will be inter-
ested in the news that the government is
contemplating the manufacture Of ice for
the use Of the various departments. The
Post-ohice Department in Washington has
q complete ice-maklng plant. and Is turn
ing out more ice than It can Use Secre-
tary MacVeagh. Of the Treasury Depart
ment, the ice costs So cents a ton, a saw
ton for the surplus. This department
uses ton OF ice every twenty-four hours
In the water coolers throughout the big
building. II has been paying private
dealers $3.50 a ton. Under the new ar
rangement with the Post-offlce Depart
ment. the ice cost c. cents a ton. a saw
Ing approximately OF $500 q year. This
Is at the rate OF 50 pounds OF ice for j
cent, I50 pounds for cents, 500 pounds
for 10 cents. or $50 pounds for % cents.
II the Post-Onice Department can man
ufacture ice at a cost OF 60 cents q ton.
# stands 70 reason that private concerns
can 90 the same. A short time ago we
called attention 20 the fact that manu-
facturers OF artificial ice In Jacksonville,
Fla, were retailing the product at Il
cents per 100 pounds. and making salts
factory profit thereon. While the ordi-
nary consumer may never hope 10 be so
fortunate as the government departments
IN obtaining cheap ice, the figures quoted
above afford ample ground for the belief
that the time will come when private en-
terprise win awake to a realization Of the
possibility Of safe and secure profit from
the manufacture and sale on large
scale Of artificial ice az a price far below
that now charged the consumer for the
natural product The conditions under
which artificial ice Is made in Washing
ton or IN Jacksonville cannot vary much
from conditions 81 other cities. and Il is

TENDER no one ever thought TO send him
al internal machine by mail or put poison
in his pie.
Had Don Carlos attained hts alleged
desire to reign as King in Madrid. and
had he died wearing the crown OF his
forefathers. we seriously doubt that he
would have passed away any the hap
pier for II. He lived the life Of a wealthy
gentleman Of highly aristocratic connec-
lions, and he gave up the ghost hated by
Few. Il any. and dreaded by none. Indeed.
Il may not be TOO much to say that. as
royalty sues. he enjoyed the pleasures
Of the simple life to the limit, believing,
perhaps. that fate intended him to be
King. but not unduly rebellious because
fate's plans were set at skies and sevens
through the Intervention Of human hands
over which he had no control There
were times. we may be sure. when he
permitted himself to grasp the scepter in
his imagination and believe that he would
eventually assume the crown. but those
dreams all faded away 70 return 10 more
long before his august Hfe's shadows be-
gan reaching far into the east.
That Don Carlos never became King
OF Spain by nc means argues that his
life was anything akin 10 a tragedy.

Army Death Benefits

There ought to be a change in the law
which permits the War Department and
Navy Department to pay the so-called
death benefit" so as TO make Il un-
| necessary for the consideration OF each
separate case. The law as il now applies
requires that the death Of the officer or
enlisted man shall have been incurred
through disease or wounds contracted IN
line OF duty" and it is a great question
where duty begins arde ends. and the
line must be drawn with rare judgment
and not too strict an adherence to tech
nical distinctions. lest grave injustice be
done. It would be better If the condition
could be ampiihed so as to permit a
payment Of the bounty in case the death
was not due to individual carelessness or
misconduct. 1t is well enough to limit it
to those who are on the active list. Of
course, but almost any sort Of death may
be. by special Interpretation Of law, con
sidered as having occurred In line OF
duty"
It was some such lIberality Of construc-
ton and breadth Of view Of the law
which permitted the War Department
the other day TO consider that a soldier
died In line Of duty when he met his
death during a boxing match Of the type
known as battle royal" Five soldiers
Of the Twenty-second Infantry on duty
at Fort St. Michael. In Alaska. engaged
in this contest as a part Of an athletic
entertainment. The contest was observed
By an army surgeon. and all possible
precautions were taken against the injury
Of the combatants. One man. however.
was thrown TO the floor, and upon rising.
although advised 20 retire. persisted In
continuing his fight He was again
thrown 10 the floor and sustained
fracture at the base OF the skull. from
which he died IN about two hours The
War Department has held that this death
was In the line Of duty. as the contest
is a part OF the scheme TO encourage
athletic exercises. Perhaps no sort Of
restriction Of the law would make It
impossible FOR the War Department 10
consider almost any sort Of activity as
in the line Of duty, but 1t would be we'll
to have the law so worded as to make
these perplexing questions unnecessary.
Some day an official who has the right
to do so will rule out the claimant who
deserves a better fate. At all events. dis
bursements Of this sort ought TO be on
basis OF equity and founded on law
which is not too ambiguous.

TAKE IT OUT OF POLITICS.

Thanks to the Presidents firm position.

IN much better shape than It went In. It
win contain some evidence, at least, Of
revision such as the country is demand

''such as the country Is demanding" we
mean not only the people generally, the
great mass Of consumers. but commercial
bodies, manufacturing interests in no small
humber. and last, but by no means least,
the American press. which speaks for
them all. Never in the history Of tariff
legislation was there ever before such an

for revision along equitable lines.

fully analysed and fairly understood.
It is the understanding that the Presi-

adopted, If the provisions for the cor
poration tax. the customs court. the
maximum and minimum. and the tariff
commission be kept intact OF these i'm
portant provisions all now appear to be
reasonably safe, excepting the tariff com
mission provision. The stand-pat senti-
ment OF the House-fortunately fast
dwindling-is unalterably opposed 10 TAX
ing the tariff out Of politics. It would
perpetuate the abominable system which
has been illustrated IN its worst form
during the prolonged siege now drawing
70 a close.
The commission clause IS attacked at
The last hour on the score that it puts
too much power in the hands Of the
President; that It would permit him to
employ any number Of commissioners he
pleased. and result in espionage and the
tampering with business in a manner
that would prove hurtful Nobody. as a
matter Of fact. actually entertains the
thought that the President would so use
the power thus given him. The very sug-
gestion is discreditable TO the stand-pat
source from which IL comes.
The tariff should be taken out Of poll
tics. This is demanded by the business
interests. 1t is demanded by the coun-
try's interests. The striking out Of the
commission provision would be the climax
OF a spectacle which has already wearied

Looking at the matter from one point

In oldeu times the life Of pre-

Of rounding up ''pretenders" or worId-be

Comparing the cases Of Don Carlos and

Money from Parisians.
Prom the Atlanta Journal.
The ingenuity OF the blackmailer has

which has set all Paris TO talking.
few days ago one OF the wealthiest
tradesmen Of that city received the fol-
lowing startling communication;

These innocent instruments OF a wicked

by that time the tradesman called in the
police. It was thought that the birds
were so weighted down. when the hush

DO NOT BLAME THE HEN.
II Eggs Are Not Right, the Fault
Belongs Elsewhere.

From Che Baltimore Sun.
The hen is one OF the most modest and
hard working OF individuals. Day In and
day out she tolls. adding one egg unto an
other from pulletage until her life IS ended
in the stew or the oven. and the last OBJ
sequies are performed at the dinner table
She Won the high respect OF ex-Presideut
Roosevelt as the greatest practical oppo-
nent Of race suicide. She has long been
the admiration and the pride OF Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson, who contends that
Che wealth Of America is largely heaped
Up IN the egg basket. She has won the
consideration and regard Of all OF us who
are fond OF eggs, boiled or scrambled, and
20 her we are indebted for the fried
chicken that made Maryland famous.
The South Dakota citizen who demands
that the government pure food inspectors
be set on the trail OF the egg must not
blame the hen. The sample that Mr.. @. A.
Neuendorf. Of Clark S Oak. has fled
with the Department Of Justice does an
pear to be Overripe- After examination
the Attorney General and his assistants
agree that the egg gives indications thar
Il has violated the law. Bat Mr. Neuer-
dorf must blame It on the Northwestern
cafe In which he received Il, not on the
original manufacture.
II is embarrassing to find your boiled
egg OF surprising strength, but lacking
the sweetness of the henfruit I'm its early
youth. But II is not the hens fault When
she manufactured the same and put il on
the market she turned out fresh goods
that would have delighted Secretary VIII
son and would not have excited the scorn
even Of the cynical Or. Wiley. But after
a few weeks on the grOcer's shelf and
some little time spent IN the cafe kitchen,
the egg naturally becomes shopworn. Il
Is weary and cares nothing about IT'S
personal appearance. The egg is best in
the morning OF its youth. and should meet
its fate before il becomes blase. What
ever may happen after the egg leaves the
parental nest the hen Is not 70 blame
The government prosecutors must get
after the men who lead the eggs astray.

AN ORGANIZED GOSSIP

The Wright Machine

Even in the shadowy long ago, when a
group Of ancients. in which Christopher
Columbus is said to have been Included
laid bets that an egg could not be made to
stand on its head. there was no whisper
Of suspicion as 10 the inherent virtues OF
the egg. Which goes 10 show that the
tolerance Of men is going backward. in
asmuch as the present generation for a
number OF days last past has been in
!coherently doubling the good qualities OF
ar article which has steadfasuy refused
to stand on it's head
The article In question is the aeronaut-
/ ical combination known as the Wright
brothers. Of Dayton, Ohio; and more
power 10 them.
The latter part or June they came to
Washington with a flying machine done
Up in boxes. They were a very much
heralded pair of men. They were called
the champion eviators Of the world. with
Justice. They could have wined and
dined; but they dined late. and did not
wine With characteristic thoroughness
they went to work at Fort Nyer assem-
bling their aeroplane.
The public in the meantime sat eagerly
forward, sobbed for flights. and chafed at
the delays.
The outward and visible signs Of those
delays are a matter Of common knowI-
edge The first day the machine was
taken from the shed a very fair repre-
sentation of the Congress of the United
states was on hand and wanted action.
Wilbur did not know Congress was to be
there. 1t would have made not a jot or
title OF difference if he had. but he could
at least have assured Congress. If he had
been made a party to the secret, that
there was little chance Of a flight. Later
the machine attempted to fly. and failed
to leave the ground. The Wright brothers
gave their reasons, when asked, and to
any one initiated in the habits Of gasoline
engines and the less definite customs Of
heavior-than-air machines. the reasons
smacked Of the clearest logic.
In that respect the general public and
the Wright brothers reasons differed
widely-and in the ranks of the general
public might be included any army Of
hcers who may incautiously have al
lowed their impatience TO get AWAY
from them. If enough Illumination could
be thrown on the situation to make II
clear 70 the casual eye. It would be seen
that while the Wright brothers through
out the whole time neither varied nor
wavered from the course they adopted
years ago when they gave up the BIZ
cycle repairing business out in DAYTON
the public allowed Itself TO be led sadly
astTay by peevishness, and let persplra-
ton and dusty shoes run away with rea-
condolences and mental temperance.
What the public did-that part OF il
which made up the minor chord commen-
