President Taft and the South.


President Mckinley died happily
in the conviction that under his ad-
ministration the last vestige of Sec
tionalism had disappeared. President
Taft can go still further. He can
help the south in her effort toward
that material development which her
fertile soil, her forests, her mines,
her splendid sea coast harbors and
her internal waterways so abundant
ly prophecy. He can treat her people
with genuine considerations: he can
respect their traditions, even though
he may not adopt them; he can dis
passionately and wisely influence
both the negro race and its white en-
vironment mutually to advance each
others interests. All this can be &C.
complished without raising the spec
ire of social equality-a phrase that
has done more toward preventing
harmonious relation between the
races in the south than any other
two words in the English language.
President Taft, in all his utterances,
has carefully avoided reference to
this disturbing element. Evidently
he does not regard it as a possibility,
much less a serious menace. He
wants the south to prosper and the
negro to advance, and he believes
that these desiderata are linked to-
gether. It Is happily within his
power-as it seems to be within his
ambition-to achieve both desirable
results Litchfield West in

How tn Care for Gold Fish.

A writer in the April Housekeeper
gives her experience in caring Tor
gold fish successfully. II keep three
fish in a six-quart globe. I use well
water: pure spring water or river
water can be used, but not cistern
water, and I nearly always have the
water fresh out of the WE'LL she
says. II change the water In the
globe once a week. l always have a
large bunch of moss in the GLOBE as
it Keeps the water sweet longer ana
the fish like to nibble at it. | get
long strands of floating moss out OF
a mill pond, and get an extra sup
ply in tle fall, as one bunch does not
last all winter. I give the fish salt
bath once a week, which keeps
them in good health. use one tea
spoonful of table salt and one quart
of water, and keep the fish In the wa
ter fifteen minutes. Once day l
feed the fish a piece of prepared fish
food one-half inch square"

est economy. Practical plants are
now made In comparatively small un-;
its, as low as Is horse power. Sl$$s.
There is no question but that In q
short time producer-gas plants will be
In successful operation In small and
large units, utilizing our Ignite for q
variety of purposes While this will
prove OF great value to all parts of
our state, it will be especially impor-
tant to those communities nearest the
Ignite deposits in the western portion
Of the state, for In many of these
places 1t will NO doubt be possible to
establish large power plants to utilize
the waste from the ignite deposits,
converting these waists into electricity
which in turn may be- sent to sur
rounding towns and villages, thus dis
tributing power and light from numer-
GUS central power plants. Such an
arrangement will not only be great
saving of our fuel resources but will
also result in esta Fishing many in
dustries which can be developed by
abundant and cheap electric power.
It seems possible that we shall be
able shortly to produce from Ignite a
gas which can be converted into pow
er with a saving of rs to so per cent
or more. This will, Of course, mean
In the aggregate the saving OF large
sums Of money for the citizens of this
state. The college. of mining )engi-
'neertng has begun a series of %ex-
tended investigations ON the various
methods of producing from Ignite
gas which may be utilized economic
cally for lighting, power and heating
purposes. Although these investiga-
lions have not proceeded far enough
to be considered in detail at this time
still some very excellent results have
been secured and we hope that the
work which will be carried ON at,the
school of mines will prove OF very
great practical help to the state.

New Standards in Federal Office.

In Mr.. Roosevelt's period, a re-
markably large number OF men OF
high character and exceptional at
tainments have been brought into
subordinate public positions. Ma
turally some Of these, particularly
those holding the rank OF assistant
secretaries, will have made place for
new men. But the standard of ell
cheney and zeal that has been fixed
will undoubtedly be maintained, and
the remarkable development of the
scientific services of the government,
under scholars and experts, will find
in Mr.. Taft the same support and en-
couragement that it has had in Mr..
Roosevelt. The agricultural depart
ment. for example, is. full, of brilliant
scientific experts who have made the
work of that department the wonder
and the envy of the whole world. A
similar evolution has been brought
about in other departments and
branches of government work; and,
for the most part, the efficient scien-
tific personnel of these public SER
vices will not be changed with the
incoming of a new president. The
president and the cabinet chiefs alike
must depend for the most part upon
the experienced and brilliant workers
in subordinate places for the re-
suits that will reflect lasting credit
upon the new men at the top. In
some bureaus and branches Of the
government service, the process Of
modernization is as yet far from
complete, and thus Mr.. Ballinger and
others will be under the painful ne
cessity of trying to introduce new
men and new ways where old men
and old ways obstruct the public bus
mess. If the government had ar
ranged a system of pensions or re-
firing allowances for public servants
who have outlived their usefulness,

GAS Told by the Nurse
That is your father, dear,
Just going out the door;
Oh, he's been living here
For seven years or more!
In business he's so deep
He has no time to fret
With little girls, but keep
Up hope-we'll meet him yet!
That is your mother, dear,
Just getting in the car,
She knows that you are. here
And also who you are!
But what with clubs to meet
And bridge to play, you see,
With hours SO short and feet
She's turned 'ou DER to me
But there, my dear, don't fret,
Or let those blue eyes blur,
Some time 1 know you'll get
Acquainted, too, with her.
Why, sometimes in the night
When angels vigil keep,
She asks if you're all right
And when YOU went to sleep!
l think you'd like them both,
l think they'd both like you,
But what with higher growth"
And many things to do
They're simply rushed to death,
But there, my dear, don't cry,
If they should stop for breath
Well meet them by and by.

The LIQUOR Fight in Ohio.

The Anti-Saloon league, writes
Hugh C. Weir in the April Circle
MAGAZINE, went into politics as q vet
teran political organization, and the
total of it's votes in the first cam
paign stunned the brewers much as
a cyclone would have done. For the
first time in years their sneer VANISH
ed, and the peanut politicians" who
had been lolling in the shadow or
their. might, scampered like fright
ened sheep to the camp of the new
David who had appeared In the field.
The saloon keepers and the brew
ers were frightened. plainly and
painfully so, and in their fright they
said and did things which famed the
fire of public resentment yet higher.
For instance, at meeting of the
state liquor dealers at Wirtheim hall
in Columbus-at time when the at
tendants carelessly left the doors
open -one of the delegates, In pa
per on Glow to Build Up the. Sa-
loon Business said crisply:
"The success of our business Is de-
pendent largely upon the creation of
appetite for drink. Men who drink
liquor, like others, will die, and II
there is no new appetite created our
counters will be empty, as Will be
our Golfers. 49,.
"The open field for the creation Of
appetite is among the boys. After
men are grown and their habits are
formed they rarely ever change. in
this regard. It will be needful, there
fore that missionary work be done
among the boys, and I make the
suggestion, gentlemen, that nickels
expended in treats to the boys now
will return in dollars to your tills
after the appetite has been formed.
Above all things, create appetite"
The reformers who had fought the
liquor traffic in the futile years that
were passed had hurled their forces
against the saloon from the. outside
and endeavored to work inward. The
Anti-Saloon league, combining wis
dom with enthusiasm, gathered its
forces on the inside, within the walls
Of the enemy's stronghold, and threw
its strength outward.
1t was contest reduced to, the
blunt principle of fighting fire with
fire. The organization won at the
polls because it met politics with
politics. But this was merely a start
ing point, center for the circle. Be-
yond the polls was the legislature.
and the highly paid, highly trained
lobby of the brewers and distillers.
Against its wiles the league threw q
similar organization, but with this
difference: The latter was working
for principles, the former for dollars.

the prOUuCtlOu VI gas uo0 UCCA Snot
the carbon remaining behind did not
form into Jumps like coke, but broke
I'D into small particles which were OF
no. commercial value. Thus while the
amount of gas produced from Ignite
vas reasonably large, the waste OF
non cooking residue was so great as
to render the manufacture of gas
from this coal improbable In most
parts of the state.
There has recently been developed.
however, o new system of the manu-
iacture of gas from variety Of fuels.
This is known as the producer-gas
method, and at the present time is ap-
plicable almost exclusively to the pro-
duction of gas capable of generating
power il a specially designed gas en-
CINE.
Producer-gas Is derived from In
complete combustion of the fuel held
In a specially devised combustion and
gas-producing chamber. Unlike the
production of ordinary coal gas, there
Is no residue Of coke left in the pro-
Queer, but the coal is in part convert
ed into gas by the combustion Of the
remaining portion. To bring about
this Transformation to- the best ad-
vantage and> to supply a, larger
amount of hydrogen and carbon mon
oxide, steam is introduced into the
chamber during the burning of the
coal. =
The development of producer-gas
for power has been quite rapid al
though the details of the problem
have not all been settled by any
means, still the results which have
been achieved are so remarkable that
there appears great future for pow
er production by this method. Many
fuels of comparatively little value, as
used under boilers in the old direct
burning method, have been made to
yield very excellent results when util'
lied In the producer-gas plant. The
more perfect utilization and saving Of
our coal and the cheaper production
OF power thus brought about, are
items Of great interest to every citiz.
en-. Whatever method will bring q
cheapening Of power Is sure to re-
suit in great saving and beneht to all
classes. ~ g. -.
The perfection and introduction Of
the producergas plant will be vel
coined by our citizens as one OF the
possible means Of economic utilization
Of the vast fields Of Ignite which are
distributed in the western portion OF
the state. X ~
Until three or four years ago only
very slight attempts had been made
to utilize Ignite ~ . gas producer.
During the time Of the worlds fair at
st. Louis, q model producer-gas plant
was put in operation by the United
States government. Surprisingly sue.
cessful results. were obtained in the
use Of different Goals for the produce
ton of coal gas for power. The wort
which had already been carried on
at the school of mines Of the state
university indicated at once the pos
sibility Of successfully using Ignite
coal In this producer-gas plant.
The writer therefore arranged for
the testing Of two or three carloads

OF NORM U4kOta ll&u1tS aC the govern
ment testing plant at st. Louis. The
results secured were very satisfactory
for it was found that North Dakota
Ignite, used in the producer-gas plant
gave more power than many of the
eastern bituminous Goals burned by
the old method, and that as gas pro-
Queer, at least for power, it ranked
high among the various Goals. This at
once opened q future possibility of
great importance to our state In the
utilization OF Ignite. r:
Based upon the work Of the q. s.
fuel testing department, It appears
that a ton Of coal, converted into pro-
ducer-gas, will yield as much power
as can be gotten from about two tons
Of coal by the ordinary means Of burn
ing in the steam engine. This claim
is now generally made by the manu-
facturers of producer-gas plants. One
company puts it as follows: "The pro-
Queer transmits Is per cent Of the
fuel energy, the boiler 70 per, cent;
the gas engine delivers at the shaft
Is per cent of the energy supplied;
the steam engine 13, per cent; as a
whole the gas plant releases over II
per cent OF the fuel energy: the steam
plant about per cent. On this basis
the gas plant could afford to use. fuel
costing twice as much as steam fuel.
As matter Of fact It can utilize
much cheaper fuel and of such low
grade as to be quite unsuited for eff
cient boiler working"
While it is true that, par cubic foot,

much below natural or coal gas, yet
this fact is more than compensated
for bv the enormously large quantity
of gas produced per pound Of coal.
The heat units OF producer-gas
amounts to about IA to is that Of the
ordinary city coal gas. but the VOL
ume Of producer-gas from ton Of
coal Is probably over ten times as
great as that gotten from q ton Of
coal used In the ordinary gas plant.
Because of the relatively large amount
Of gas produced, and the ease and
cheapness Of the process, the final
cost per thousand feet of producer
gas is very .ow. q &. - go.

steam. To develop one horse power
per hour by steam would require 4.46
pounds Of Virginia anthracite, 3.97
pounds Of Ohio bituminous. while by
the producer-gas plant by use of North
Dakota Ignite only 2.39 pounds is re-
quired per horse power per hour. Az.
Stunning the price Of Ohio bituminous
In North Dakota at $500 per ton and
Ignite $500 per ton, a calculated say
ing OF II per cent would be effected
by using Ignite In producer-gas
plant over the use OF Ohio bituminous
in an ordinary steam engine.
The power developed sad the re-

ANOTHER PROHIBITION DECISION

ANOTHER PROHIBITION DECISION
Judge Pollock's decision in the
Foogman case at Hillsboro is inter-
esting as illustrating the drastic ma
ture of the prohibition law of this
state when the court is behind it. The
case in question was that of drug
store partnership by which liquor
was sold. inviolation of the law, &C
cording to the finding of Judge Pol
lock, and where the building in
which the drug business was carried
on, as well as a jewelry business in
connection Herewith, was closed
under an Injunction issued by the
court. Application was made for the
reopening of the building by the
filing of q bond for obedience fthe
law, and Judge Pollock denied the
application. He holds that the pro-
vision of the prohibition law permit
ting the closing of a building for a
year, where it has been used to har-
Dor violators o fthe law, is intended
as a penal provision of the law, to
punish the owner of a building for
permitting it to be used for unlaw-
full purposes, and that the owner can
not come in with a promise to be
good and obtain an abatement Of
the order for closing the building.
:. In the case in point, and in other
cases Of the kind, this is severe
penalty upon the. property-evident-
" severe enough to discourage own
ers Of property from letting them
for unlawful purposes. The owner
Of the building is deprived Of the use
Of it for year. and the loss Of the
rental value is considerable. If such
a decision were promptly rendered in
all cases where the owner of build
ing knowingly let it for the sale of
liquors, it would at least discourage
the violation of the law in buildings
which have any considerable rental
value. For the owners would be con-
tinually in danger of losing the use
Of their. buildings for q year, and
would be content to accept smaller
rents for legitimate purposes and
forego unusual rents for purposes
not sanctioned by the law of the
state.
We have had a prohibition law in
the state for twenty years, and it
has been enforced with varying sue
cess. Tae state has had much the
same experience as other prohibition
states. AS long as there is demand
which produces profit to the sellers
Of liquor. there will be found persons
willing to take chances of imprison-
ment for the sake Of the profits to
be gained. But violators of the law,
particularly those violators who &C.
cupy buildings that have substan-
tial rental value, will find it difficult
to- find places in which to carry on
their business if such decisions as
that in the Foogman case are fol-
lowed out. This is not TO say that
the sale of liquor can be altogether
prohibited by this means. But the
effect on property owners would be
immediate and salutary, in those
cases where the property is used for
unlawful purposes with the knowl-
edge and consent of the owner.
