NORTH LOUP, Neb., Feb. 4.-To the
Editor of The Bee: 1t would seem that
manufacturers of gas engines and auto
mobiles might realize the supreme impor-
lance OF developing the water-power sites
OF the country by the most substantial
prosesses-nameiy by government own
ership. The exceedingly large output of
gas engines is consuming very rapidly
the products of the great oil and gas
fields. Lubrigating oils must come from
petroleum, and the present uses OF the
heavier oils for fuel purposes should be
strictly prohibited. II the policy may
affect the present oil companies that
matter may be adjusted. But the pres
ent policy OF speculation and exploitation
must very soon consume the products of
the oil fields and we will be possessed
of a few millionaires and the experience
and history OF some politicians who do
not know enough to pound sand.
The prices of oils are now far below
what the prices must be II the present
exploitation Is not quickly prohibited.
When the prices of oils reach certain
limit the output Of gas engines must &C
cordingly be governed. We are now told
that electric current IL being made at
Panama for one-eleventh Of 1 cent per
kilowatt hour At that price. which may
be reduced still farther, a manufactured
fuel for the gas engine may be made
at a continuous low level Of prices. Too
much Of the policy is now practiced OF
living from hand-to-mouth and forgetting
the future.
The development OF water-poweg should
be pursued Immediately. with the policy
Of strictly conserving the oil fields for
future purposes Except new exploita-
ton be allowed in new fields. % cents
per gallon for gasoline within five years
win look Iva low price. Hence other
power must b. developed. Why not write
your CONGRESSMAN and senator and say
Wake up. snakes"

OMAHA, Feb. ITO the Editor of The
Bee: Your correspondent. Mr.. Bradshaw
Of North Platte. seems to labor under the
impression that I am not in favor OF free
speech simply because have advised
against the public discussion by one man
of another mans religion.
I need hardly say to those who are
familiar with my writings that am in
favor Of free press and general discus
sion among men with respect to all ques-
tons OF public interest The columns OF
my paper are open 70 every one for COM
nent upon every subject--except religion.
In my opinion II Is an entire waste OF
capable effort and valuable space for one
man to hammer away at another's re-
ligion. 1t only serves to wound the per-
son whose religion is assailed. No one f.
drawn from that religion by attacks upon
IT, Whom men give their attention to
the discussion OF these things their
prejudices are so aroused that they have
little time or inclination for the discus
sion and denunciation OF the real evils
which fill this old world of ours
do not question the right of any one
TO engage in this pastime. only think
it is a waste Of time and I would like
TO see Nebraska take the lead in tho
creation OF the sentiment that the re-
fgious belief Of a man is his own affair
and subject upon which friendship and
cooperation for the general good are not
to be interfered with.
