Chicago Wiiiissses Say It May
Revolofienize Traffic
TRAIH LIKE HOTEL POSSIBLE
Economy Scan In Louts Brennans In
vention That Seems to Defy Laws of
Gravitation Speed of One Hundred
and Fifty Miles an Hojr Predicted
Chicago railroad ollicials who have
recently returned from London are
iiiiliiied to believe that in the mono
rail way or gyroscope railroad Louis
Brennan 15 C has an invention which
bids fair to revolutionize some of the
fluids at least of transportation
What they saw at the public demon
strations at Chatham England ot the
possibilities ot the monorail way was
u railroad car lorty feet long ten feet
wide and thirteen feet high weighing
twenty two tons mounted on a single
rail and running freely around curves
while safely carrying forty passengers
-who experienced less vibration than
would have been the case in an ordi
nary passenger conch
The principle upon which the mono
railway operates is that ot the spin
ning top which maintains its equilihri
urn by means of its rapid revolutions
or gyrations The characteristic tea
ture of this system of transportation
is that each vehicle is capable t main
taining its balance upon an ordinary
rail laid upon sleepers on the ground
whether it is standing still or moving
in eitiier direction at any rate or speed
This is done notwithstanding the tact
that the center ot gravity is several
xeei uuove uie ran ami mat wnui pres
sure shifting of load centrifugal ac
tiou or any combination of these forces
may tend to upset it Automatic sta
bility mechanism of extreme simplicity
carried oy the vehicle itselt endow
it with this power
Principle of Mechanism
The mechanism consists essentially
of two flywheels rotated directly by
electric motors in opposite directions
at a very high velocity and mounted
so that their gyrostatic action and
stored up energy can be utilized The
flywheels are mounted on high class
bearings and are placed in a vacuum
so that the air and friction are reduced
to a minimum and consequently i la
power required to keep them in rapid
motion is very small The stored up
energy in the flywheels when revolv
ing at full speed is so great and the
friction so small that if the driving
current is cut off altogether they will
run at sufficient velocity to impart
stability to the vehicle for several
hours while It will take from two to
three days before they come to rest
The stability mechanism whose weight
is small occupies but little space in the
cab at one end of the vehicle
The wheels of the car are placed in
a simile row beneath the ceuter of
the vehicle and are carried on bogy
trucks which are so pivoted as to pro-
Hvide for horizontal curves ou the track
and also for vertical ones This en
ables the vehicle to run upon curves of
oven less radius than the length of the
vehicles itself or to run ou crooked
rails or on rails laid over uneven
j round without danger of derailment
a he motive power of the inonorailway
may be either steam petrol oil gas
or electricity In the experiments
made thus far petrol has been used as
an electric generator the power of
tch vehicle being self coutained and
ready for immediate use Use of it
any moment is made possible by keep
ing the gyro wheels in constant rota
lion by a current from a small accu
mulator the engine being at rest In
order that the vehicle may be able to
ascend steep inclines the wheels are
all power driven and change gears are
provided for use in hilly country
Large Coach Made Possible
Great economy Is obtained by mak
ing the vehicles much wider than the
ordinary passenger coach On this
point ilr Brennan claims that he has
plans for a passenger ear 100 feet in
length and 20 feet wide He also de
clares that such a coach may be driven
safely at a speed of lf0 miles an hour
while travelers are making a trans
continental journey in rooms as large
and as luxuriously furnished as those
of a modern city hotel
The rail upon which the car runs has
a curved top and its weight is that of
the ordinary rail but the sleepers or
ties are only one half the usual 7f
of railroad ties It is stated that flying
lines of a inonorailway ran be built
with great rapidity over uneven ground
with but a slight expenditure of labor
The bridges required for the ue of
the inonorailway are of the simplest
possible construction
Hotel on Rails Predicted
The expenditure of fuel uecessary tr
operate the inonorailway is very much
less than it is with an ordinary rail
road This fact is due to the absence
of flange friction on curves and to
the vehicles running without oscilla
tion or jolting The absence of thee
same factors makes an increase of 2U0
or 300 per cent in the speed of the
train a safe possibility consequently
Mr Brennan confidently declares thai
his dream of a transcontinental rail
road furnished with a traveling hotel
hnving rooms fifteen to twenty feet
wide and currying passengers in per
fecr comfort and safety at a speed of
120 to 130 miles an hour will surely be
realized

OF PROHmiTfQW
J T Allcnsworth a lawyer of Lin
coln said
While attending the United States
circuit court for the district of Kan
sas at Leavenworth for three or four
days this week I learned considerable
regarding the enforcement or rather
non enforcement of the prohibitory
liquor law of that state Leavenworth
is now in the second year of her ex
perience under the commission form
of government and the city appears
to he prosperous and in the matter
of public improvements is in appar
ently a better condition than at any
time during the last twenty five years
for which period I have been ac
quainted with its historj In the
matter of the enforcement of tho
law against the sale of intoxicating
liquors the condition is deplorable
and seems the more so possibly he
cause of the impression that the peo
ple elsewhere generally have that the
law is being strictly enforced in that
state
Within two blocks of the business
center of the city I saw four joints
as such places are called in that state
where intoxicating liquors were being
sold without any attempt whatever at
concealment except that the room in
which such sales were being made
was in the rear of another room which
fronted on the street and which ap
parently was a cigar store
Tuesday of the present week was
the soldiers pay day and the city in
the evening and night of that day in
the vicinity of the joints referred to
vas the scene of more drinking and
drunkenness than Leavenworth could
have rivalled in her palmiest of ante
bellum days Between the hours ot
5 oclock on Tuesday evening and 3
oclock ou Wednesday morning the
joints in question were filled with
men of all grades and descriptions
and a constant stream of them was
flowing in and out of these places in
i fashion that resembled a bargain
sale On Tuesday night before the
hour of 10 oclock I saw not less than
twenty drunken men upon the street
some of them so drunk that they
could not avoid colliding with people
whom they met
During the forepart of the night
the police of the city attempted to
arrest a drunken soldier because of
some altercation between him and a
private citizen About one hundred
soldiers from the regular army at
tempted to prevent it and did prevent
the arrest until a special call was
sent to the headquarters of the army
at Fort Leavenowrth and a detach
ment of armed soldiers came to the
city and put down the riot
I was informed by one who knew
whereof he spake that no less than
two hundred joints were being op
erated in the city of Leavenworth
and there is absolutely no attempt
whatever to prevent the illegal sale
of intoxicating liquors To say that
the lid is on tight in Leavenworth
is an untruth
I am a prohibition republican and
believe that Kansas has ideal law
upon the subject of intoxicating
liquors but I do not approve of mis
representing the facts relative to its
enforcement simply to relieve public
officers who fail to do their duty from
the censure which they deserve
The North Dakota Farce
Hon D R Streeter editor of the
Emmons County North Dakota Rec
ord published at Linton writes
The manifold evils of the prohibi
tion law in this state are on the in
crease rather than the decrease Blind
pigs exist in most parts of the state
and no sooner is one of these
squelched than another reckless per
son steps in to take its place The
drug stores are doing a flourishing
business and there are probably a
third more in the state than there
is a legitimate demand for
North Dakota Blind Pigs
The Grand Forks correspondent of
the Fargo Forum informs us says
the Bismarck Palladium that there
are at the present time 1791 blind
pigs in North Dakota assuming
doubtless that the possession of a
government tax receipt for the retail
sale of intoxicating liquor is prima
facie evidence that such liquor is he
ing sold is correct Manufacturers
carry on a cash business with their
North Dakota customers and there is
no complaint heard from these out
side houses that there is any falling
off in their trade On the contrary
North Dakota accounts are the very
best that many -a Minnesota and Illin
ois wholesale house has on his books
And so the farce goes merrily on and
is made the medium for personal and
political exploitation by cowardly
politicians who are often themselves
hopeless victims of the drink habit
and who care nothing about the moral
aspect of the question so that they
can continue themselves in the lime
light of personal notoriety
Liquor Cannot Be Seized
Press Dispatch
Guthrie Okla Nov 5 Judge Cot
teral in the United States district
court here reaffirmed his decision that
state officials cannot interfere with
interstate commerce shipments thus
restraining the state officers from
seizing shipments of liquor before
they have been delivered to the con
signees

solving the problem of getting from
the soil the greatest possible profits
Thus the states have installed their ex
hibits and the farmers of the country
who have been applying some of the
methods first unfolded by the agricul
tural colleges have surrounded these
exhibits with grains and grasses pro
duced in all parrs of the United States

this choice seed on next years crop
and on production during years to
come will give the nation thousands

by plant breeders in order to secure
an improved variety ot grain
Wisconsin tor instance has been
working with barley The experiment
stations have secured fourteen varie
ties adapted to either feeding or brew

The conservative estimates say Iowa
increased the value of the corn crop
12000000 annually by instructing the
farmers how to test their seed In the
exhibit at Omaha the state shows uot
only the five general soil types with

each must be handled to obtain either
a profit or a loss The soil chemist

NOR NOT
FOR COUNT OPTION
Omaha Daily News November 14
County option will not bo written
into the platform of tho Nebraska
democracy next year regardless of
me position of W J Bryan If Gover
tlaily just as it would be in the vast i nor Shallenbereer can nrovont It
County option means prohibition
declared the governor on his arrival
in Omaha this morning and Mr
Bryan is illogical in his statements
that ho is a county optionist but nt
a prohibitionist
Mr Bryan has intimated in numet
ous conferences that ho Is an option
ist but not a prohibitionist but tho
very principle of county option is pro
hibition
The liquor problem will be one of
the main issues of the campaign
said the governor and I do not deem
it advisable for the democratic party
to adopt a county option plank
The liquor laws with the dayliglt
saloon act passed by a deniocratl
legislature are being more rigidly en
forced than ever before and I believe
that a rigid enforcement of liquoi
statutes is to be preferred to county
option
It is too early to draft a platforr i
and I believe that we should wait uu
til the situation develops
Attitude of Democratic Press
Columbus Telegram
The Telegram prefers the method
of law rather than the method ol
the bootleg And
when we sax- wo
prefer the method of the law it ij
with the understanding that all laws
governing the sale of liquor shall be
enforced to the letter
We favor obedience to the law for
two reasons
1 Because it is right
2 Because only by strict enforce
ment of the present Nebraska liquor
laws can Nebraska escape prohibition
We are glad to be able now to
state that this is the view of the
great majority of the country demo
cratic press in Nebraska and Tkr
Telegram always feels safe whci
traveling the path which the major
ity of the democratic editors arc
pointing out as the right path
Bishop Scannells Admonition
Rt Rev Richard Scannell bishop
of the Catholic diocese of Omaha de
livered a notable sermon at St
Cecelia church in Omaha Sunday No
vember 14 The bishop admonished
the women to eschew politics He
criticised the activities of the woman
temperance crusaders On this point
he said
Instead of these women striving
for total abstinence they should be
working in the cause of temperance
said Bishop Scannell Men have a
practical judgment in this matter and
do not look for the ideally perfect
Therefore I see no advantage to ho
derived from the women being ad
mitted into the political arena
Figures That Burn
Worcester Post
The prohibitory brethren should
not be discouraged because the num
ber of arrests for drunkenness to
talled only 2340 for the year ending
with the first of last month Lewis
ton and its neighboring Auburn in
Maine with about a third of Wor
cesters population had 1600 of them
last year according to the Lewiston
Journal This is fully twice our rate
in proportion to population But
these cities have had nearly sixty
years training in prohibition and
our rate of progress to the bad is
such that we can overtake them if
the farce continues for another year
The Journal says the great part ot
the men arrested there were dipso
maniacs appearing over and over
again This is also the usual result
of prohibition and the stuff that
flows under it and the way it is
swilled down in bulk purchases and
in secret and irresponsible divns
