GERMAN TYPE OF OIL ENGINE
Built to Run With Liquid Tar as Fuel
Test Successful and Larger
Ones Being Built.

A new German type of oil engine is
built to run with liquid tar as fuel.
One of the large gas companies had
the engine designed in order to see
whether such tar coming from coal
tar distillation could not be used to
operate an engine. The present en-
CINE is built for 100-horse power and
was tested by coupling with dyna-
mo. Starting and heating up in the
first place was done by means of par
ATTN oil The engine was run on &C.
hour endurance test, carrying two
thirds load, and after the trial 1t was
found that the valves and the other
parts were very clean and there was
no deposit such as might be feared
inside the engine. A very regular run
ming was also one of the good points
observed. Following this successful
test, there are to be built engines of
much larger size, which are to give
600-horse power. 1t is found that the
full value of the tar comes not far
below that Of parafin oil for the same
weight.

PRESIDENT AND THE VETO

SO Misused.

Mr.. Taft at Columbus, o., under

veto is a good thing. AS II It had
ever been questioned! The president
at times seems afflicted with literal
myopia.
MIR. Taft has vetoed every measure
calculated to bring relief to the peo-
pie from excessive living costs. The
wool bill, the cotton and steel bills,
the meat bill the farmers free list
bill, all we're killed by Tafts veto, He
has perpetuated the plundering Of the
people. And his defense is an AGA
demic discussion OF a presidential
function consututionally bestowed.
To be sure, those bills came from a
Democratic house. But it was to that
same Democratic house Mr.. Taft's
reciprocity measure was committed.
The Democratic house might, In eff
feet, have vetoed the presidents bill
But It didn't. It thought that the bill
would serve the peoples welfare.
The Democratic house forgot politics
and undertook the public service. The

Every student OF economic condl-
lions in the United States knows that
more farmers are needed TO make ag-
riculture keep pace with other indus
tries, The project to divert to the
farms immigrants coming to Chicago,
by establishing on the lake front near
Twenty-second street an agricultural
and Industrial exposition building with
special features for the instruction Of
the newcomers in the possibilities Of
country life, is one that should inter
est the public greatly. Too many Of
our immigrants, even those bred in the
country and capable Of becoming i'm
mediately useful on farms, settle in
our large cities. The country districts
need them, the cities do not, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. In the cities
there are now few chances for them
compared with those that existed a
few years ago. The newcomers can
better themselves and the nation by
becoming producers instead of consurn,
ers Of farm products. Immigrants who
are SOUND physically, mentally and NOR
ally will be valuable to the United
States for a long time to come, If they
can be turned to supplying the real
needs OF the country. The problem of
thus placing workers where they are
needed is rightly receiving much at
tention.

unbreakahIe Glass.

Unbreakable glass, which the Eng.
lish might find useful in these days
of suffragette militancy, was invented
nearly 1000 years ago, according to
Petronius and Dion Cassius, though
Pliny casts doubts on the story. An
artist appeared before Tiberius with
a cup of glass which he dashed violent.
ly on the ground. 1t was neither
broken nor cracked, but merely dent
ed, like a piece of metal. Then the
man produced a mallet and hammer
ed the cup back into it's proper shape.
Tiberius. however, asked whether
anybody else knew the secret and
when the artist proudly answered
NO." had him instantly beheaded.
The emperor feared that such glass
would terribly depreciate the value Of
precious metals.

ON TARIFF
HOSIERY SCHEDULE SUPPLIES
CLEAR ILLUSTRATION OF ITS
PRACTICAL EFFECTS.
PROTECTION RATE TOO HIGH
Labor Cost Of Production In This
Country Little More Than In Eu-
rope Notwithstanding Difference
In Wages.

We have received the following APP
peal for light on the tariff:
is this the Democratic idea of the
tariff: That II the tariff is taken of
hosiery the American product will be
undersold by the German because It
can be produced cheaper in that coun.
try than it can In the United States?
Would this be true Of all things now
carrying tariff"
So far as we are aware, the Demo
cratic party has never made any dec
laration on hosiery, but we are glad
that item was specified, because It
affords a peculiarly clear and intelli-
gible Illustration OF the practical eff
feet Of the tariff. Hosiery worth a
dollar a dozen pairs in Germany is
taxed under our tariff 60 cents and IS
per cent, or rs cents. Omitting
freight and commissions and Incl
dental charges, this hosiery, then,
could be sold here for $1.75 a dozen.
The census bulletins show that in
hosiery the wages constitute about
one-fourth of the value of the prod
uct. On domestic stockings worth
$1.75 dozen, therefore, the total
labor cost would be about Al cents.
The position of the manufacturer,
then, is that where he pays A cents
to his working people he gets rs cents
OF protection. The Democratic party
does not believe that he needs any
such rate of protection. The labor
cost Of production in this country is
little more than it is in Europe in
any line, and In many lines it is much
less. In the last fiscal year we ex-
ported more than billion dollars
worth of manufactured goods In
July more than half of the exports
were manufactured goods or course,
II 1t cost more to produce manufacture
ed goods here than in Europe we
could not export on any such scale
as this. The employees in our machine
shops get better wages than the men
in foreign machine shops, and yet we
exported machinery to the value of
$4,000, 900 in the last fiscal year.
OF course, the Democratic party
does not believe that lowering duties
would close our mills and throw all
our people out of employment. II 1t
did it would not advocate reducing
duties The reports of the tariff
board show, what students of eco,
Monies knew before, that the labor
cost Of production is often lowest
where wages are highest. There is a
book on the efficiency of labor, or the
relative costs of labor where wages
are high and where they are low, by
Jacob Schoenhoff There is a volume
of lectures on Work and Wages" by
Lord Brassey, and another book by
him on a similar subject, which, OF
course, have no specific reference tC
our tariff, but are all the more val
liable for that reason. They are dis
cussions of the greater economy Of
high-priced labor. Lord Brassey's ia

opinion. l do not think that Penrose

publican bosses have quite as good a
standing With the voters as has Mr..

OF course, McHarg has, by his &C.
ton, ranked himself with the bosses,
For we know that boss is man who
opposes Roosevelt. Woodruff was a
boss till he came into the camp of the
third termer, and 80 was Finn. But
they have gone through a process Of
sanctifcatlon. 1t is precisely SO with
McHarg. He was not a boss when
he was doing for Roosevelt the work
Of a boss. But having broken rela.
tons with "the only perfect man" he
necessarily sinks to the boss level. We
therefore, fully expect to hes him de-
nounced as an exponent of crooked
politics" Even Penrose was all
