is the press venal.

Dubuque Telegraph Herald: At q
time when the Philadelphia Press was
vigorously contending for the sale OF
six street car tickets for quarter as
in keeping with the spirit Of an agree
ment between the city and the trac-
ton company, one of its large adver-
tisers suddenly dropped out. The
newspaper was given to understand
that the advertising would be restored
when the Press should cease to advo-
cate the six for a quarter rate.
Stated in other words, the adver-
tiser, a department store owner. who
is presumably under the influence Of
the traction company, sought to coerce
the Press by withdrawing his patron
age a form of boycott and, in way.
sympathetic strike. The Press cor
poration is not poor, and the loss of
revenue, while great, will not serious
" cripple it. The Press is published
for the profit is earns, but 1t is never
theless the possessor of ideals and Dig
nifty. 1t did not yield, but with renew
ed vigor demanded the six for a quar-
ter rate. Taking its readers into its
confidence regarding all the facts ex-
cept the identity of the advertiser the
Press said:
while We regret the action of this
particular advertiser In attempting to
punish us for acting upon our sense of
duty, we have been prepared to- meet
such contingency. A newspaper with
a sense of duty so weak as to permit
its self interest to prevent it is not fit
to exist. Our advocacy of public
rights will be continued despite any
financial losses which may result
therefrom."
The Press will continue to exist. II
the advertiser shall not return he will
suffer more heavily than the Press
from diminished business He does
not advertise from philanthropic de-
sire to help the newspaper, but from a
selfish desire to increase the volume
| of his stores business. II he can
stand the loss, the Press can stand its
/ share. Other advertisers, getting the
patronage lost by him, will be able tc
spend more money with the Press
People who are not readers of the
paper will became its readers and in
the end it will be largely profited fol
having the courage to stand by its
convictions of right.
The advertiser may rue the institu
ton of boycott He may find ou
that the boycott is a two-edge weapon
and that it cuts both ways; thet al
| he may boycott newspaper, shopper
may boycott his store. The Press doe,
not suggest a retaliatory boycott. We
it would be morally justified in dom,
so.

NOT A. DEAD LETTER.

Under this heading the Cedar Rap
ids Gazette enters vigorous denial
as follows:
The Keokuk Gate City quotes the
Gazette as saving that the ordinance
recently passed in this city, requiring
vehicles to keep on the right side of
the street, is dead letter. The Gate
City then INDUCES in a lecture on the
futility of passing so many ordin-
ances.
The Gate City is slightly on its
base. The Gazette did not say that
the ordinance referred to is a dead
letter If such statement had been
made it would not have been the
truth The ordinance is well en-
forced In very few instances is the
ordinance disobeyed- But once in a
while IT is ignored. Just as any other
lar is ignored some times. The
ordinance Is good thing. and every
body II Cedar Rapids will say SO.
The Gazette noted one or two in
stances where parties using the
streets ignored the law. and We sug-
gesred that accidents could be avoid
ed By everybody remembering the
rule. But as for the ordinance being
q dead letter. that was farthest from
the mind of the Gazette"
The Gazette's denial is of sufficient
public interest to warrant its repro
duction in these columns, but Just
the same it is the first reference to
the subject that has appeared in them.
The Gazette has COMPOUNDED The Gate
City with some other paper. The Gate
City is still on it base.

A movement which aims to secure
a Sunday of rest for all the postmen

A memorial aas been prepared which

step an official investigation of the
work now being performed by post
office employees in the United States.
The letter declares that in the opin-

STEAM AND ELECTRICITY.
Traction Problems Railroad Managers
Are Trying to Solve.


Brooklyn Eagle: According to the
Electrical Review and the Western
Electrician, the great railroads of the
country face serious situation. Soon
er or later they must make ascecision
as to what propulsive power they will
use steam or electricity The asser-
ton is that a stage has been reached
beyond which a step cannot be taken
without the expenditure Of vast sums.
| The limit Of development in steam
traction power, under present condi-
lions, has been reached. Longer
freight trains cannot be used unless
the traction power of locomotives can
be increased. That cannot be done UNI
less the locomotives can be lengthen-
ed. For this. scientific reasons are
given as to the weight and where it
shall rest-reasons the railroad opera
tors do not dispute, but understand.
Indeed. it is admitted that In the ef-
fort for economy in operation the loco
motives have been ngthened as much
as is desirable in view Of the existing
curves on the lines. To give greater
length is to ask for the elimination Of
the curves. To do that is to ask for
reconstruction of the line. Increase
of weight means increase in the force
of the impact of a running train. So.
Strengthening of bridges follows as a
consequence, and that means recon.
structton OF bridges and abutments.
Widening Of the gauge OF the tracks
might meet the situation. but then that
is reconstruction throughout.
To what extent the weight OF loco
motives has been increased Is seen in
this comparison: In 1885 the weight
of locomotives was about ten tons;
since 1894 locomotives OF weight of
over 100 tons have been put In opera
ton. The latter weight is admitted to
be the limit. So the stage is reached
when, if any advance in the use Of
steam be made. the roads must be re-
constructed. That means the expendi-
ture of hundreds Of millions.
On the other hand are the electric
motors. These motors of the same
weight as the steam locomotives will
exert from 10 to 100 per cent more
traction power. 1t follows, then. that
motors of a lesser weight than locomo-
tives could be operated with satisfac-
tory results under present conditions
OF tracks, bridges and roadbed. In
this view, it would seem to be wiser
and more economical to adopt electric
Eity as propulsive power. But other
consideration enter. To do SO would
be to engage in revolution. Steam
locomotives. in which much capital is
| invested, must be abandoned. Expen.
sive motors must be built to take their
places. Expense in electrical super.
structure and in power houses in
which to generate electricity must be
undertaken.
There are yet other considerations
An agent of propulsion, to the use Of
which trained corps are accustomed
and to which administrative depart
ments are attuned, must be eliminated
A power must be employed which. il
/ its development, is in the days of its
infancy, and there must be thorough
reimbursement of all the department.
to new conditions and new influences
This is situation the railroad on
orators face, and in which the travel
ing public and the commercial publ,
are equally interested.
