THE RAILROAD SERVICE.
Deadheads and Lack Of Accommoda
tons Noted by One Traveller.

To THE EDrroR OF THE SuN-Sir: After
reading the letter by "Satlsned Travel
Ter" in THE SUN I venture a comment
on one Of the outstanding Impressions
have on the subject.
For about four months during the late
winter and early spring had business
which required my travelling about the
country, principally east Of the Missis-
sippi. cannot say that noticed any let

any time during my recollection of the

does It avail him II the train In which he
Is interested Is to leave within the next
two or three days? "No space lest' is
the report most Of the time. Everything
sone up through next Sunday" It may
be. for a change.
However. by putting the date OF
my trip far enough ahead / have man

the passengers and I verify believe that

Safety and Sanity on the Fourth.

Although there is every reason why

ing and blowing themselves up in their
patriotic emotion. All the Governors
have Joined the movement for safety
and sanity, and the fire and life
insurance companies hope losses
attributable to recklessness and igno-
rance will be smaller this year than
ever before.
In New York and in other cities it
has been proved conclusively that ade-
quate expression can be given to love
Of country and respect for the Fathers
Of the Republic without wearing out
the fire apparatus or filling the hos
pitfalls with mutilated citizens There
Is no reason why good sense should
not rule on the Fourth of July as well
as on any other day in the rural and
in the crowded sections OF the land.
The extension of safe and sane indie
pendence Day observances to all of the
United States will be an excellent
thing; and there are good many
hundreds Of thousands Of young men
here now who heard a sufficient num-
Der Of explosions in Europe to satisfy
their appetites for firecrackers for the

THE IDLE WIND.
Here Is o Plan for Utilizing Bound
less Power Now Wasted.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sn: FIRE.
quently We hear or read about how
people are lamenting over that the
power represented in the ocean waves
Is not utilized. but seldom is said any
thing about using more power OF the
wind which is the immediate cause OF
the waves.
The wind is also the immediate cause
of the gigantic powers obtained from the
waterfalls. because II Is the wind that
moves over the land the clouds contain
ing the water evaporated from the
oceans, which water besides producing
the vegetation upon which are depend
ing our wonderful and inestimably
precious lives-God's noblest creatures
gives US power. heat and light. cleo
trically and otherwise. when Its surplus
returns to its source. the ocean. 4 real
perpetual motion indeed.
Along the ocean shores. mountain tops
and other heights the wind can be COM
PEELED through windmills TO compress the
air and force II through pipes into tanks
distributed wherever needed. 1t is easy
to get the compressed air to gather cleo
tricity by revolving dynamo armatures
with It. Thus the wind can be made to
produce power for all work and all heat
and light, outside that from the sun,
needed for all time that the earth may
remain inhabitabls
Now for a little illustration of the
immense power Of the wind. II there
were many trillions of vessels on the
ocean the wind would nova not only
one but all of them, yes. even against
itself toward the point from where the
wind was blowing. as is done when n
sailor Is lacking or beating his way with
his boat or vessel.
The wind power may also be used for
keeping elevated storage tanks or reser-
voirs supplied with water. which may be
utilized the same as common waterfalls.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: I
have read with interest the letter of
Lauren Carroll. president OF the Fiji
teenth Assembly District Republican
Club, published in THE sun of June 26.
! am not a member OF his club, but for
about forty years l have been a con-
sistent Republican and believe I have a
fair knowledge Of the condition of the
Republican organizations on Manhattan
Island.
II anything can be proved by the re-
suits OF elections. th6 present Republi-
can organizations of this city by the
last election for Mayor and the last
election for Governor were proved TO be
huge jokes. IL Senators Calder and
Wadsworth have nothing worse TO fear
than the displeasure OF the Republican
clubs Of this city they are quite safe.

THE end, l hope and believe, is no;

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: In

How Far Did n Satisfied Traveller
Journey

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-S%; A
Satisfied Traveller" reminds me of the
traveller" met on train one morning
two months after the Government took
over the railroads.
He told me how well the railroads
were being run, found upon inquiry
that this was the gentleman's first trip
from his home town OF more than twenty
miles in five years.
Satisfied Traveller should average
1900 miles a month and then write
again. I can assure him his letter will
be quite different. HENRY r. Guo.
