THE COST OF SMOKE.

About per cent of the coal that
fills the frebox of the locomotive act
ually drives it across the country. The
rest is wasted Not more than 10 per
cent OF the fuel value of their coal is
consumed in the furnaces of manufac-
turing plants.
The rain of cinders from the stack
of the locomotive the pillar of black
smoke from the factory chimney, ac-
count conspicuously for part of the
waste. But these are minor losses.
The chief difficulty lies i'm the failure
to use the combustible gases that arise
from the burning coal. They are eth

discharged without having done any

The geological survey has estimated
that the Smoke nuisance" costs the
country through waste of fuel, injury

S6OO,OOO.OOO a year. There is, more
over, an undeniabe menace to the
public health through the polluted air
Of the great manufacturing towns.
Much of this tremendous economic
waste is at present unavoidable, be-
cause we have not learned how to,

Mr.. TAFTs CORNERSTONE

Now We are at-some people think
the crisis in the Republican party
with reference to its continuance in
the guidance of the nation" said Pres
ident Taft in an address in Chicago
yesterday. Il am hopeful that the
good people OF the country, who know
a good thing when they see it, have
only chastened us In an off year, in
order that we may be better hereafter
but with no intention of shifting re-
sponsibility from shoulders that are
fitted 10 bear the burdens OF the pres
ent problems and carry them to a sue
cessful solution, to those which are
untried and which have new theories
Of action that we do not believe in and
that we don't believe the people believe
in.
However, If so be it that they de-
sire TO make a change. we shall Loyalty
support the new government under
any conditions with the hope that it
will insure to the benefit Of the coun-
try, but with the consolation that. III
after one trial the people think they
ought to go back to the old party that
has served them so we'll in the pro-
gressive days of the nation. they will
do so-we can bear that my friends
that is all"
There is something rather sad in
those remarks of the president which
will be considered by many as an ad-
mission of the possibility Of Repubn-
can defeat in the next campaign. But
there is much back OF those remarks
and they should make Republicans dc
a lot Of thinking
Mr.. Taft believes II the Democrats
are successful the people will be ready
and willing after four years to restore
the G. 0. p. to power; but the trying
four-year period can be avoided III
the Republicans forget all their bick-
erings and present a solid phalanx to
the opposition at the next election. |

Now II appears that in Canada the
Lauricr government and reciprocity
were beaten by only a comparatively
small popular vote. This is indicated
by official returns received from 1875
Of the 221 constituencies. In the 1875
constituencies 1,OO1,55 votes were cast
and the majority against Laurier and
reciprocity was only 35,77i. In the city
Of Toronto alone the popular majority
for the conservatives was $4,000. So
evidently a very large number OF Cam
adams believed reciprocity would have
been a good thing.
