daring scheme Of wholesale robbery.
The loot was taken from banks chiefly
through confederates. In some cases
force was used. There is NO knowing
just how far the plot ramifed, and how
many were involved. It was banditry
ON q big scale. Arnstein, often de-
scribed as the "master mind" has never
before given any sign Of possessing
remarkable criminal capacity, but he
was certainly clever enough to keep
away from the police for three months,
and if, as he says now. he was all the
time in Pittsburgh and made no par
ticular effort at concealment he is
either a very commonplace looking
man or the police have failed lamen-
tably on this job, for the country was
flooded with his portraits. In any case,
Arnstein ceases to be an object Of ma
tional interest, even though he is about
to answer the charge against him, for
q fugitive is always moro entertaining
than a defendant in court.

A Cheap Motor Fuel.

Announcement from Rome that q
chemist Of that city has discovered a
process for producing liquid by.
drogen, ono gallon Of which will drive
an automobile ESQ miles, is certainly
good news to all motorists and to bust
ness men who use gasoline. The an
nouncement is not complete, however.
1t refers to "cheaply producing the
liquid hydrogen" but how cheaply 7
At what rate could it be put on the
marketf
Gasoline is now selling roughly at
80 cents a gallon. That means for a
car that can get fifteen miles out of
q gallon-and that is going some-2
cents a mile for fuel. A gallon Of
liquid hydrogen at the same rate Of
mileage cost and capable Of yielding
$50 miles would cost IS. So that any
thing less than IS a gallon retail for
this new fuel would be an economy.
At $3.50 a gallon it would be equiva-
lent to 15-cent gasoline. At dollar
gallon it would be equivalent to
6-cent gasoline. If by "cheaply pro-
ducing" it is meant to signify any
thing around q dollar gallon, there
fore, the fuel problem is definitely
solved. And motor riding will become
again q Joy rather than a constant
strain upon the conscience as well rs
the purse. Tho sole question would
then be as to the universally Of the
use Of this process. Great care must
be exercised to keep such remarkable
method Of fuel production out Of the
hands Of monopolists, or the world
will be right back where it is now in
respect to motive power.

Shoe Profits.

W. ]. Lauck, formerly secretary Of
the War Labor Board, now consulting
economist in certain labor organiza-
tons, makes the public assertion after
a protracted research that the actual
cost of producing pair Of shoes is
considerably less than one.half Of the
price paid by the consumer. The bal
ance, he says, goes in the form Of prof
its into hands through which the goods
pass. According to Mr.. Lauck's fig
ures, the actual cost Of a pair of shoes
price-marked at $3.50 in 1917 was only
$3.46. There has undoubtedly been a
great increase in the cost factors. For
instance, says Mr.. Lauck, from 1914 to
1917 the cost Of the hide rose 1913 per
cent, the packers margin AIS per cent,
tanning material 10 per cent, tanning
labor 80 per cent, factory expenses 37.5
per cent, administration expenses 100
per cent and tanners profit 221 per
cent, the supplementary materials II
per cent, shoemaking labor IL per cent,
overhead expense 23.3 per cent, manu-
facturers' profit 54.2 per cent, and
retail profit 1o2.2 per cent. Thus the
greatest part Of the profit gained was
enjoyed by the packer with his 475
per cent, the tanner with his 221 per
cent and the retailer with his 1922 per
cent.
Everybody all along the line azot
theirs" And there is no particular
point at which the profit taking can be
checked. Perhaps Mr.. LAuck's figures,
which are brought up only to 1917, can
be made more instructive II carried
beyond, to include the tremendous ad-
vances in costs and prices during the
past three years. It would be important
to know 1t what rate Of Per cent the
wholesalers and retailers are muleting
the public in footwear, which has be-
come one Of the most expensive Of all
articles Of necessity.

POLITICS AT HOME
Roorbacks.

There is an impression abroad that
this is going to be a good year for
roorbacks; that the concocters OF
fables intended to deceive will short
" get busy, and stay busy until NO
vember; that the contest among them
for supremacy will be lively. and that
the one who puts the most things
over will be we'll rewarded.
The argument is this: The times
are abnormal. The people-and par
ticularly those interested in politics
are "jumpy." So much Of an unusual
character has happened in the past
few years, they are inclined to fear
the worst and prepared to believe
nearly anything. Their nervousness
has made them csedulous. Stories
that ordinarily would fail Of their
own weakness may pass this year I'M
der the conditions that now exist.
Tho best season-the pet season
for roorbacks-the real article, and
not yarns Of the garden variety-'s
in the closing days Of q campaign,
when there is little time left for in
vestigation, exposure and denial. What
is called nifty tale-one that both
entertains and persuades-put out
then sometimes works havoc ON those
against whom it Is directed.
But forewarned is forearmed. The
managing men on both sides are al
ready warning their ieutenants, who,
in turn, will shortly begin warning
the rank and file. Be not deceived.
Prove everything before accepting it.
Be little inclined to doubt the noon
hour even when the sun is directly
overhead. Call for an affidavit to
support an affidavit. Require even
trusted old friends to repeat their mar
rations, 80 40 to be sure you get things
straight.
No such campaign as is now opening
has ever been waged in this country,
and, as far as possible, every prepare
ton is being made for it.

Cochran and Bryan.

The temperance Of Bourke Cochran
in New York politics at this time ii
notable. He has been in and out OF
the game, now the oratorical ornament
Of Tammany, and now cast into oute1
darkness by Tammany's disfavor. In
the Croker days be was in closer. He
served several terms in the House, and
distinguished himself there.
Mr.. Croker-himself a silent man
kept q trio Of orators ON hand whom
in the heyday Of his Tammany power
Bourke Cochran headed the list. Col
John r. Fellows was close second
and Senator Thomas F. Grady poo,
third. Senator Grady, not so gifted
as the others, was a sort Of gsns1al
utility man. A very ready talker, he
was better suited for cart-tail assign
ments than for state occasions. Mr.
Cochran and Col. Fellows did all the
strictly ornamental work.
What explains Mr.. Cockran's resusci
tationf One guess is that the vets
finding it necessary to match Mr.
Bryan, have in their need turned to
him. They want him at San Francisco
and may want him later. They are
uncertain about Mr.. Bryan's course IN
case they down him, as they will try
to do, in the convention.
IF this is the answer, it must be said
that the vets have made the best pos.
sible selection. Mr.. Cochran is both q
prize convention orator and q prize
stumper. He is quite as ready and
fluent as Mr.. Bryan.
If these two men clash over the
eighteenth amendment, the blows on
Mr.. Bryan's part will be the more Wig
orous by>Eeason Of the fact that Mr.
Cochran was one Of the democrats who
bolted in 1896, and took the stump
against the democratic ticket. Like
most politicians, Mr.. Bryan has shown
that he ~keeps books" and can turn
to any name or date suiting his humoI
and necessities.
