CHEAP ALCOHOL FUEL.

URING the years that the legislation which
permits the manufacture of denatured alcohol
l. tax free was pending in Congress some very
extravagant claims were made by the advocates Of
the measure IT. was said, for instance, that it
would be freely used as an illuminant and as fuel
for the production OF power on small scale. In
Germany where great quantities of alcohol for in
dustrial uses was produced and consumed each
year it really was a success from commercial
standpoint and these claims looked so plausible
that the measure passed in the face of vigorous
opposition on the part Of the oil interests.
Then denatured alcohol practically dropped out
Of sight On the rare occasions when it did turn
up in the newspapers it was usually the butt of
joke. The people who expected that the passage
OF the legislation would work an industrial revou-
ton all but admitted that the whole movement in
its favor was huge mistake Some Of them con-
tended that the conditions under which the manu.
facture was permitted were not favorable to limited
operations, and that until larger consumption had
been worked up no one wanted to invest large
amount of capital in production on large scale.
But not much attention was paid to these views.
The United States is not Germany, and most of us
explained the failure of the dcnatured alcohol
movement Oh that broad if somewhat indefinite
basis
But the high cost of gasoline is beginning to give
new Importance to the legislation and the regula-
lions regarding the manufacture of alcohol for use
in the arts and in industry. One whole session of
the meeting OF the American Chemical society
which was held last week in New York was devot-
ed to cheap alcohol and it seemed to be the opinion
Of the experts who talked on the subject that the
day when, gasoline would give way to alcohol in
many fields is near at hand.
Speed the day. The demand for gasoline is now
SO great that it cannot be filled, so the gasoline
manufacturers will not be seriously injured, but
the makers Of gasoline engines that are so crude
and imperfect that they fill the air of our cities
with poisonous gas will be, and that will merely
be retributive justice. AS compared with gasoline
alcohol is an ideal fuel. 1t burns without smoke
and the odor it leaves is very volatile

FEELING FINE, THANK YOU.

ONChNOh dUddtS was reported 10 pc pref
ty tired at the conclusion on Saturday of his
~ second great swing around the circle. This
is but natural. Colonel Roosevelt or William Jen-
nings Bryan might make 10000 miles talking eight,
ten and twelve times day and come up smiling
at the end of the ordeal but the average barker for
circus sdcshow, leather lungcd and travel hard
ened though he might be. probably would know
he had been going some il he were to try to dupli.
cate the Hughes performance. And Mr.. Hughes
plunged into this sort Of thing right after several
years of the scclusion and quiet which the atmos-
phere OF the supreme court affords.
But in spite Of the physical strain there arc COM
pensations, and it is safe to venture the guess that
Mr.. Hughes is not very low in his mind as result
of the strain. All the newspaper polls including
that Of the New York Herald, which has fine rec
ord for accuracy, continue to give him the lead in
the great presidential race and the betting odds
continue to be strongly in his favor. In Ohio and
in several other states visited the second tour
the indications are that the governor greatly
strengthened his cause by his speeches. So, all in
all, he probably is feeling pretty comfortable in his
mind That is the way his friends feel at all events

START "A MORALS MOVEMENT.

Va 0 far the Democratic spokesman have not had
- word to say in reply to the charges of ex-
sf@. travagance and worse in the management of
the affairs of Marion county. Doubtless this signi-
meant silence on the part of those who opened the
campaign with series Of attacks upon the Repub-
llcan party because Of alleged extravaganza on the
part Of the administration at Charleston amounts to
confession:
But serious though this waste Of the public funds
Is, It is by no means the worst feature Of Demo-
>cratic control here. When taxes are thrown away
Tor diverted into the pockets of favorites Of the
powers that be- no suffers except in pocket.
And while some Of the taxpayers feel the pres
sure cruelty in these times Of Democratic prosper
aty in which the cost Of living is going up by leaps
and bounds, they will survive it and in time re-
cover. 1t is very great pity that as much cannot
be said for the victims of the moral delinquency of
the dominant political party.
In his passionate protest at the first anti-booteg-
sgng mass meeting the pastor Of the colored Meth
5pdist church Of Fairmont charged that his people
were being debauched deliberately, and that the
authorizes knew it. 1t was the truth, and not only
the authorities but every man who is at all ac-
S4uainted with conditions in this community knows
IT U.s. and why. They know that it has occurred at
every important election in recent years and if they
think at all about it, they have made up their minds
that it will be continued until public opinion rises
I'm its. might. and puts an end to it.
Why public opinion has not asserted itself before
this is beyond the ken of this newspaper We are
bust as much at loss to understand why the men
pho control the Democratic party in the county
