You know there are a good many
men of science who believe that if
even one-half of the energy which is
in coal could be utilized for power
purposes the result would be a vast
cheapening of manufacturing cost.
The energy that is in coal is really
the stored-up energy which the SUMS

"As long ago as the time when
Ericsson was working out his plans
for the monitor war vessel his mind
occasionally reverted to the prob

The Freedom of Cities.

From the indianapolis News.
That the failure of city government
in the United States is due to any
lack in the morality and intelligence
of the American people is something
that Americans will be rightly re-
luctant to admit. That city govern
ment in Europe, now so much
superior to that in this country, for
merly had much the same defects,
due to the same causes, is shown by
Horace E. Deming, for many years
leading member of the National
Municipal League in his book on
''The Government of American
Cities" Says Mr.. Deming:

Stevens Institute Man to Be

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 13.-The Board
of City Commissioners has approved
the proposal of Mayor Pagan that
Thomas B. Stillman, of Stevens In

bacteriologist at a salary of $4,000
q year. The mayor explained that
very frequently in the city health
department archaeological examina-

cost the city quite a sum annually
The mayor. who is head of the health

HObson Again.

From the New York World
Fifteen years ago last June Rich
mond Pearson Hobson was a hero.
He has been a nuisance ever since.
With his militarism, his jingoism, his
anti-Japanism, he has been a vista
ton upon his afflicted country.
Now he is running for the United
States Senate against Oscar W. I'm
derwood. He feels that demands for
S50000,000 for the navy, for ten super
dreadneughts, even for immediate war
with Japan, have lost their pristine
charm. So he turns over new leaf
by denouncing Mr.. Underwood as
1.-THE tool of the whiskey ring and the
money interests"
Coming on the heels of the passage
of the Underwood tariff act, it is hard
to decide whether this charge is the
more outrageous or ludicrous.
With South Carolina threatening to
send Cole Blease to the United States
Senate. the bare possibility that Ala
bama might inflict Hobson on the
country is enough to arouse nation
wide interest in Mr.. Underwood's can
didacy.

woodrow Wilson's Successor

From the New York World.
1t was fortunate for New Jersey
that when Woodrow Wilson gave up
the governorship man of the type of
James F. Fielder, as president of the
Senate, was ready to step into his
place. AS Democratic leader of the
Senate he had been the champion of
the Wilson movement, and his promo
ton was assurance that the Wilson
policies had been intrusted to faithful
hands.
In the three-cornered campaign now
pending New Jersey again faces the
same critical situation that it faced
last winter before Governor Fielder
was designated as Woodrow Wilson's
successor at Trenton. Will 1t con-
tinue to go forward in the direction
marked out by so many notable re-
forms during the past four years, or
will it retrace its steps and dlsown
it's own record of achievement under
Wilson and Fielder?
In Governor Fielder New Jersey has
a real progressive, an able, courag-
eous leader, who has proved himself,
in office, not merely on the platform,
to be worthy of the support of all true
friends of reform. His election will
mean that New Jersey is determined
to hold for good the position IN the
front rank of really progressive States
to which it rose under Woodrow Will
sons leadership.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

the same. Each country had pro-
ceeded in its own way and followed
its own methods; their municipal sys-
tens were widely divergent, yet their
cities were and are well governed"
In discussing the common basic
principles accounting for this general
Improvement in cities under diverg-
ent governments, Mr.. Deming lays
emphasis on the freeing of the cities
from interference from outs de powers,
and the distinction between political
and non-political functions. This dis
tinction Is much more than the very
obvious one between city manage
ment and the managers views on the
tariff or currency questions. 1t means
that wholly within the affairs of the
city itself, as in any large business,
there are questions of the determine
ton of a general policy and work to
be done by men whose views and eff
cheney have nothing to do with their
ideas ON that policy. In this country
a few municipalities are making this
distinction by electing boards to de-
eide general questions of policy and
employing "city managers" to look
after the details of administration.
All this is a far cry from the stupid
spoils system idea of connecting all
forms of government employment
down to the Partnerships with politi-
cal questions and with questions that
are not even matters of city policy,
but of national political policy. 1t is
clear that whatever form of city gov
eminent is finally adopted there must
he a clearing of the air of the notion
that all the details of city admins
tration must be tied up to politics.
That men should be selected solely
with reference to the duties they have
to perform and kept in office as long
as they perform those duties faith
fully is an idea abhorrent to the
spoils politician. And yet little hope
can be sanely entertained as to city
until that idea becomes.

Fresh Air vs.. Pure Air.
the Toronto Mail and Empire.

From the Toronto Mail and Empire.
Writing in the Medical Times, DR..
Dutton says that the medical pro-
fession for some years past has been
carried away by the open-air fad for
the treatment of tuberculosis, and
fresh air has been regarded as a cure
all. He says it is important to dis
tinguish between pure air and fresh
air. Outside air is fresh air, but not
very generally is it pure air except
in the country or at sea. Pure air
contains the ozone which is the vital
izing principle of fresh air., and is
free from particles of dust. Fresh
air is not only likely to be dust-laden,
but it is cold, and often impregnated
with moisture. To a person in good
health the cold, wet, dust-laden air
is not a menace, unless indeed it car
ries germs To one suffering with
tuberculosis. however, the case is
very different. The trouble with tu-
bereular and other anemic patients
is their inability to create heat. They
require air that is not only pure, but
warm. To expose them to cold, damp
air night and day is unkind and cruel
without any benefit. The problem for
medical men treating tubercular pa
tients is to provide them with warm.
dry. pure air, and to expose them as
much as possible to the rays of the
sun.
