To Cheaper Motor Cars.

Pittsburg, May pa new inven-
ton has been completed by George
Westinghouse. 1t is an air spring
and by it, Mr.. Westinghouse says,
the expense of running all vehicles
now rubber tired will be decreased
at least 60 per cent, as the rubber tire
may be discarded. 1t is asserted the
new invention ultimately will reduce
the price Of motor cars one-half.
Aseries of plungers on air cushions
is used on the same principle as an
elevator plunger. The air spring is
placed under each corner Of the frame
of a motor car, and they take up the
shock with greater ease than rubber
tires. Each spring for a motor car is
a cylinder about three inches long,
the plunger connected with the frame,
working up and down as increasing
or diminishing weight requires.
1t is said by Mr.. Westinghouse that
a motor car fitted with solid steel
tires and with the air springs rides
more easily than the rubber tired
kind. The Westinghouse interests
are fitting motors with solid tires
and the air springs for demonstra-
ton.

BaIIinger's ''Pitiful Exhibition. .

Balilngeris "Pitiful Exhibition. !"
From the New Pork Evening Post Qadspsn-
dsnp.
The spectacle of a member of the
Presidents Cabinet playing the part
of a shutting and diSingenuous wit
ness, having the truth dragged out of
him by slow degrees after the fashion
OF witness in some case of petty
larceny, IS one that the people of the
United States cannot contemplate
with complacency; but if there is
modification in the spectacle, wheth-
er for himself or for the nation, he
has but himself to blame for it. Nor
is il only in the interest of the truth
of history that the fact should be
known. 1t bears strongly on the
question directly at issue concerning
the conduct of the Interior Depart
ment. From the very beginning Of
the Pinchot -Ballinger controversy
that question has borne two distinct
aspects. There has been the ques-
ton whether Pinchot and CLAWS had
subStantiated the charges they
brought forward, and there has been
the broader question whether Bal
linger has been conducting the affairs
of his department in the spirit in
which they must be conducted if the
rights Of the American people, in the
present and in future generations,
are to be faithfully conserved. And
upon this second question il would
be mere affectation of impartiality,
mere pretense Of judicial poise, to
discard such presumptive evidence as
is furnished by the personal conduct
of the man under investigation. A
man who, on the witness stand, is
capable of making a pitiful exhibit
ton of shuffling, evasion and un-
truthfulness, may conceivably be an
examplar of uprightness, courage,
and firmness in the discharge of his
official duties; but the presumption
is fearfully the other way.
