NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP IN
LOUISIANA.
pensacola, Fla. News.)

pensacola, Fla. News)
All lovers Of individual liberty
should feel concerned when the free
dom Of the press is interfered with
anywhere in this country. The New
orleans Daily States was subjected
TO humiliation which is surprising in
a land where the federal constitu-
ton and the constitution of all of the
states guarantee freedom of the
press. Gov. L. +. Hall Of Louisiana
has undertaken to suppress the circu-
lation of the Daily States in Jeffer-
son parish, where martial law has
been declared TO check gambling
The report of the action against the
Daily States in this parish is enough
10 cause one to realize that this coun-
try may be endangered by a few of
the autocratic practices in vogue in
Europe being echoed in acts of some
American officials. The action of the
governor of louisiana is repugnant
to all newspapers as il is evidence
of such a danger.
Censorship in peaceful America is
something new. The Daily States was
son parish one day until it was CEN
sored by the captain OF the military
camp. If the governor of Louisiana
establishes this precedent no news
paper may be assured that il will be
at liberty to circulate where il
pleases if il happens TO displease a
politician clothed with brief author
ity. Whether or not the Daily States
happened to be the champion of
right or wrong in this instance has
nothing TO do with the case. The
law of libel is the only check on the
press in this country In resorting
10 suppression and censorship the
governor of Louisiana exceeded his
authority that the courts in the inter
est of the public good should give
the Louisiana daily the redress it
seeks.

THE REVOLUTIONARY ELEC-
TRIO CURRENT.


CLogansport. Ind, Pharos-R Reporter
A Logansport gentleman who is
well posted IN electrical matters
argues that within 10 years a COM
p!ete revolution will have taken
place in the production OF electrical
current for heat. light and power.
Incident TO this revolution viii be
the disappearance Of all small cleo
trio light plants and the production
Of electrical energy by great plants
located close TO the coal mines. the
current TO be distributed by great
trunk lines.
He argues that the cost of coal
transportation is one of the causes
Of the high cost of electricity, this
being overcome by the cutting out OF
the transportation of coal and the
cheaper transportation of electric
energy by the trunk line system.
Steam as a motive power has had
its day and the electrifying of all
kinds OF Industries requiring power
is rapidly going on, and in less than
10 years not an industry in Logans-
port will be operated by steam. The
railroads will be the last to adopt
generally the electric power, great
corporations moving slowly. The
Pennsylvania Railroad company is
just now adding large and more
powerful steam-driven locomotives.
but in 10 years these steam monsters
will be in the scrap heap and the
electric engines will take their place
with greater speed and power.
An experiment was made some
time ago on an eastern coal road. A
huge locomotive was tested out on a
grade with Is cars of coal. The
locomotive was able TO handle these
Is cars at a speed of Is miles per
hour as a maximum. An electrically
propelled engine was tested out on
the same line. 1t handled 80 loaded
cars at a speed of 30 miles an hour.
Another saving in the electrically
driven engines was noted. When
making the steep grade, the locOmo-
tive was steamed up TO the popping
off point and then the grade was hit.
When the grade was topped and the
down grade movement began, the
surplus steam was wasted on the air.
and steam is only coal translated into
power.
With the electrically driven engine
the top of the grade was reached and
then on the down grade on the other
side of the divide, by the switching
in of a part Of the mechanism, cleo
\
and the current fed back onto the
wires from which just before il had
drawn electrical energy. so that the
extra power required to climb the
grade was paid back by this recip-
roCal action.
The idea advanced is an interest
ing one and within the range of the
probabilities.
