no STOP MAKING MEN DRUNK.

Attention was recently called in these columns
to the novel suggestion In New Jersey Of boards
of protectors" for the prevention Of drunken
ness, The plan has now been made law and
appears from the wording of the act to he
datory. In every municipality of the state
therefore. the governing body will appoint a
board of three citizens, which shall have power
and. indeed bear the duty Of notifying to all
liquor dealers in the municipality the names of
persons who are or seem likely 10 become ha bit
ual drunkards and warning them not 10 sell or
give intoxicating liquors TO such persons. For
the first violation OF a warming there will he
penalty of $50. for the second Of S10O and for
the third the penalty may be perpetual revoca
tion Of license. The intent of the law Is simply
10 compel liquor sellers TO stop making men
drunk.
That object is laudable and ought to command
the approval and cooperation of liquor dealers
themselves. For. as a matter Of principle. those
who most strongly disapprove of prohibition and
disbelieve In total abstinence are surely not will
ing to go on record advocates of habitual or
even occasional drunkenness AS matter of
practical business policy. moreover ii is not
profitable for liquor sellers to ply men with
drink TO the point of intoxication or to cater to
habitual drunkards. since by so doing they incur
the risk Of disorder and police Intervention Mt
their establishments and the practical certainty
OF the i'll viii OF their neighbors and an in
creaSing public sentiment against the licensing
Of their business. As for those liquor sellers
who knowingly and deliberately persist in max
ing men drunk and providing habituaI drunk
ards with liquor it will he for the good of the
trade in general. as well for the public benefit
to have their places closed
The utility Of the law will. of course depend
upon its intelligent and unfearing administra-
ton. which may not always be assured In large
cities it is doubtful If a board of three men will
he competent To- apply the law to nearly all de-
sirabe cases, at any rate unless it has the
very active cooperation of the public On the
other hand. in small community. where all the
residents are neighbors and acqua aintances IL
not friends. ii will often require more moral
courage than many men possess to brand one
neghbor a drunkard to whom it is unlawful
To sell drink and to threaten another neghhor
with prosecution If he does not discontinue sell
ing to one of his regular patrons Still there

CENSUS BILL BEFORE HOUSE.
Belief That 1t Will Garry $4,000 for Presi-
dents Travelling Expenses.

Washington. April 22-The House was in session
forty minutes to-day, but took no action on the
census bill the only important business before IT.
Mr.. Crumpacker, chairman OF the Census Commit
tee endeavored TO have the House insist further
on its disagreement from the Senate amendments
but the absence OF a quorum prevented such action
For the same reason conferrees were appointed
The House adjourned until Monday.
That the bill Will he amended so as 70 pro-
vide $500 the travelling expenses or the Fresi-
dent Is the prevailing impression here.
Mr. Taft has planned a trip through the West
for the coming summer. the extent Of which will
depend largely on the actien of Congress with re-
gard to his travelling expenses

Was the American vessel fishing in Canadian

deserved TO be seized. If not. the action of the
Canadian cruiser grossly improper. Every
thing depends upon the facts.

svoKE pRErEHTr0y IN CITIES.

Tests undertaken several years ago ny the
United States Geological Survey to determine
the fuel value of the numerous grades Of coal
mined in this country were followed after a
time by study of the feasibility of smoke
prevention. A report on the second part or
the investigation, just issued, confirms many
of the conclusions of unofficial experts and en-
phaszes anew the fact that the generation Of
smoke from soft coal is in most cases unneces-
sary.
1t cannot be too distinctly recognized that
smoke is a product of incomplete combustion
and that incomplete combustion may be due
10 one Of several causes Since the cause can
usually he ascertaned and removed, Il Is gen
orally an easy matter to apply an efficient rem
edy In Fl large number OF cases the evil re-
suits from careless stoking. IF a fire is fed at
short intervals and with small amounts. the
evil may be suppressed and economy promoted
at the same time. Combustion Is promoted by
keeDing the fire "clean'-that IS. by keeping
the crate free from ashes. This precaution
combined with the right method Of stoking. will
work wonders. A furnace cannot with advan-
tage he made to burn more than certain
quantity of coal According 10 the experts OF
the Geological Survey, any attempt TO go be
vond the limit will prove wasteful. besides. de
yelOping smoke Still. any effort to secure ad-
ditiona heat in this manner IS more likely 10
succeed with washed coal than with unwashed.
A resort IL q forced draft also results IN great
smoke production.
Sometimes the fault lies in the design of n
furnace According 10 the engineers who have
studied the question for the national govern
ment. the proper remedy is an alteration in
form and size and not the addition Of any Of
the many patented smoke consumers. Perfect
combustion is said to depend largely on giving
the air and the gases from the fuel an Oppor-
tunity to mix before they encounter the boiler
surfaces Hence any Improvement which
is made when careful stoking will not sup
press the smoke should have this object In
view. II is feasible also, before furnaces and
boilers are installed. so to plan them that the
fuel will be completely burned.
Constant reiteration of these truths is the
more important because of the widespread
skeptiCsm concerning the possibility Of sup
pressing smoke-a skepticism which is often
supplemented by Indifference TO the public
welfare The East suffers less than the West
from the evil but every two or three years
the danger of a strike in the anthracite regions

consequences OF such n predcament can he

TRAVEL FUND FOR THE PRESIDENT.

TRAVEL FUND FOR THE PRESIDENT.
1t is TO be hoped that the House of Repre-
sentatives will attach TO the census apprOpria-
ton bill, now in preparation. a provision al
lowing the President $4,000 year for travel
ling expenses. When Congress, at the last ses-
sion. raised the Presidents salary from S500G0
to $4,000 it abolished the travelling fund OF
$4,000 voted TO President Roosevelt. 1t there
fore in large part took back with one hand

President Taft desires TO travel about the
country and put himself In touch with the
people Of all sections. 1t is to the public IN
terest that he should do so. He has been
urged to make a visit next summer TO the Pa
cific Coast. But the cost of such trip would
be large and If the President Is obliged to
draw on his personal account for travelling ex-
penses the increase of $4,000 in salary which
Congress granted will be of little actual benefit
to him The advance in his compensation should
he made real. not nominal. by giving him fund
