A MODEL PRAYER.

When the New York constitutional
convention met the other day it chanc-
ed that the chaplain was absent. Elihu
Root is presiding over the convention,
He noted the absence of the reverend
gentleman and he proceeded just as If
he were present. He motioned the as
semblage to stand and stepped forth
and delivered this prayer:
Almighty God, guide us in our de-
alterations. Make us humble, sincere
and devoted. to the public service,
Make us wise considerate Of the feel
ings, the opinions and the rights of
others. Make us effective and useful
for the advancement of Thy cause, of
peace and justice and liberty in the
world"
| We commend this to those ministers
who are prone to indulge in long
drawn out applications In a few
words Mr.. Root seems to have covered
about all there is to be desired in the
way of divine guidance.

MOTORS IN THE YELLOWSTONE.
Government Finally Consents to Per-
nit Them to Enier.

At last the department of the inter-
Tor has decided to admit motor We
hicles to the Yellowstone Natlonai
Park. After August /, subject to GER
tain restrictions, the man who owns
an automobile may travel in it through
this region of wonders. 1t is only re-
Gently that the roads have been fit for
motor traffic, but they have been
greatly improved in -ne last few years
and the work is still going on.
There are many stretches, however,
where they are but narrow strips alons
preeipitous cliffs. One of the objec-
lions has been that to meet an auto
mobile suddenly appearing around a
sharp curve at such a point would be
terrifying to horses and disastrous to
the passengers Of horse driven We
hicles. The rules provide against this
danger, however, by requiring all mo-
tors to leave half an hour in advance
of the regular stage, and to proceed in
the same direction over the stage
routes. These main roads are laid out
in such a way that traffic moves al
ways in the same direction, circling
the park and taking in the most inter
esting points.
Any provision that will get NOR"
people to travel leisurely through Tho
Yellowstone is a good thing. 1t is n0'
only a place of nature freaks in tn"
way of geysers, glass mountains and
such things. It is a heaven on earth
of restful, natural beauty. The AR y

TREASON.
(New York SUM

The constitutional definition of trea
son is contained in the third section OF
article Ill:
Treason against the United State
shall consist only in levying war
against them, or in adnering to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort"
This provision has no present april
cation.
The statutory definition of treason
is contained in section 1891 of the Re
vised Statutes and the penalty Is de
scribed in the next section;
Every person owing allegiance to
the United States who levles war
against them, or adheres to their en-
emies, giving them aid and comfort Is
guilty OF treason.
Every person guilty of treason shall
suffer death; or at the discretion Of
the court, shall be imprisoned at hard
labor for not less than five years, and
fined not less than ten thousand dol
lar"
! These provisions have no present
application. 1t is salutary thing,
however, to remember their existence.
The construction and laws Of the
United States offer no facilities for a
divided allegiance.

THE M'klNLEY WAY.
That Is What Is Needed to Restore the
Prosperity of the Country.
GAINESVILLE Times Recorder.)

GAINESVILLE Times Recorder
When William Mckinley entered the
White House on March 4, 1897, after
fur years of democratic national con-
troll, the session of congress to undo
the prosperity wrecking and deficit
making laws of the preceding four
ears was called.
He had the new congress in session
March Is, had a protective tariff ~
through the house by March 81, and
had it enacted into law on July "a. In
other words. in less than five months
time the Wilson German law was off
the statute books and prosperity
making law was substituted.
Manufacturers and business men re-
sponded with enthusiasm to the new
prospects, and there followed the
greatest era of industrial development
the country ever knew.
President Mckinley realized his duty
as the nations advance agent Of pros
perity." He had no fear of congress
in extra session. "The people save
only recently voted that this Ga p.
tective tariff enacted) shall be done"
he declared in his inaugural, "anc
nothing is more binding upon the
agents OF their will than the obligation
of immediate action"
The Mckinley example of prompt
achievement is precisely what the peo-
)le are today determined shall be fol-
owed by the republican president sure
Il enter the White House on March
1917. His name is of no consequence:
)ut his purpose is, and the more def
litely II parallels the Mckinley way Of
quickly restoring prosperity, the more
emphatic will be the majority vote
cast for him at the election in 1916.

THE CASE AGAINST THE LIGHT
COMPANY.

The Miner has no desire to say a
word that could be construed as an at
tempt to influence the decision of the
utilities commission In considering the
evidence for and against the North
west Light and Water company The
three gentlemen who constitute the
commission are men of high characte:
and recognized ability, and there car
be no doubt that their decision will be
what in their judgment is fair TO the
company and to the people who are
dependent upon it for electric service.
The hearing proved emnently salts
factory to those who were Instrument
al in bringing 1t about and abundantly
justified the position of the leaders OF
the citizens organization in the recent
election In making it the leading IS
sue in the campaign. To ex-Mayor
Taylor and ex-Councilman Fishinger
are perhaps due the greatest credit
for carrying the controversy over light
and power rates to the utilities com
mission, and to their aggressive atti-
tude is no doubt due their defeat py
marrow margins, for they were marked
for slaughter by the light and water
company and its allies who were IN
control of the independent campaign.
But their defeat was nothing more
than personal qualification to the
light company and it's allies, and did
not affect the big question of regulat-
ing rates for light and power, for II
electing five out of the eight council
men the citizens gained a decisive VIC
tory which insured carrying the figia'
for lower rates to a finish. And 1t :
worthy OF note here that the fight to
reduce light and power rates was so
clearly right and in the interest Of the
people that two of three counciimei
elected on the Independent ticket
Joined the citizens in voting to employ
special counsel to assist in represent
ling the city in the hearing before the
utilities commission.
But even after their defeat in the
election the light company and It's
supporters were not idle and hope
still to defeat the will of the people az
expressed at the polls. on the VerS
day of the last council meeting, wheA
1T was known that the question of EN-
lploying special counsel was to be votec
upon, Mayor Mowery, Boss Walker
land possibly others who were active in
the independent campaign, called upon
lcouncllmen and endeavored to induce
them to vote against employing a spe-
cit attorney to represent the city in
the hearing, How well they succeeded
is clearly shown by the vote recorded
on the question, only one vote being
against it.
The case for the city was ably pre-
scented, much interesting information
showing the inner workings Of the
light company was developed, and the
people have the satisfaction of know
ing that their interests are now to re-
ceive the careful consideration of a
commission composed of three UNI
biased men.

WASHING SMOKE.
New York Central Cleans Smoke Be-
fore Permitting It to Escape.


(Technical World)
Due, it is said, to agitation when
nearly forced the identification of the
system, the New York Central rail-
road at Englewo1d H., has installed q
smoke consumer which washes the
smoke before it is permitted to escape,
Asbestos conduits are suspended over
all stalls of the engines, connecting
with the smokestacks. These collect
the smoke and carry it through pipe
ito a large fan which forces it into a
concrete tank which contains hot
water to the depth of eighteen feet.
When the smoke energies it is steam.
The coloring matter has been taken
GUITAR and scotland a little moist
,ure added which forms steam Is then
permitted to escape. The residue,
when SKINNED off the water, looks
like black lard. 1t is taken from the
tank and stored in barrels. Although
this waste contains 80 per cent of pure
carbon, which is the active principle
in coal, it can not be used as fuel, be-
cause it is divided into such small par
ticles that if an effort were made to
burn it an ordinary draft would carry
the most of it up the smokestact. II
is said that it can be used in the nan
ufacture of paint. and some such use
will probably ultimately be found rOI
it. Nine barrels of the black sub
stance which formerly lodged in neigh
