Omaha and the Summer Hatei. (
Word from Wagdlngton carriers tbe news
that the appeal of Omaha against tbe unjust dis
crimination practiced by the railroads In fix
ing summer passenger rates will be, futile. The
Interstate Commerce commission is disinclined
to relieve the city from tbe Imposition that
favors Kansas City directly as against all other
Missouri river points. The protests of our Com
mercial club ar Ignored, tbe attitude of the
ir!'- i:s being that Omaha must put up with
whatever action Is taken by the Western Pas;
senger association. This conclusion on part of
the passenger men Ir well warranted by experi
ence, for Omaha has always borne patiently in
justice Inflicted by tbe railroads that har?
favored Kansas City to our Immense barm. If
the present Instance were the first, surprise and
Indignation would he Justified, but it is only
tbe latest of a long series of similar outrages.
Until Omaha asserts itself more vigorously than
by merely filing protests, the condition will re
main unchanged.
Speculating; on a Contingency.
A peculiar 'wist of our Nebraska direct pri
mary, In the make-up of thg democratic dele
gation to St, Louis, openj up a large field for
speculating on s possible contingency, The
democrats, be It remembered, had seven candi
dates aspiring to four places as delgate-at-Isrge,
but hy oversight or Intent no one filed
'or the .o..t.ion of alternate. To make sure
against being completely lost all the candidates
ixcept one seem to have sought to "play sar"
by having frlenda "write in'' their names for
slternates with the result that two defeated
delegates are elected alternate and two more,
elected delegates, are also elocied altcrnateg,
although one of them Is tied with a third can
didate beate.j for delegate. It transpires there
for that Oldhttm, successful delegate on ths antl
Irjan relate, Is also the alternate for Thomas,
elected on the Bryan slato. Can the same rran be
eci edited as both a delegate and an alternate?
If Thomas Is absent, can Oldham vote twice,
once for himself and once for Thorns, Had
LMIiani happened to have been chose.: rl.ernate
for himself, In which case big absence would
leave both places vacant for tbe moment, whose
r. . j Me would ha' i to vote for him? A Jt
hei pen that th altercate for Odlham Is Hryan
:l nself, II Oldhsm were absent, -vould Bryan
r.-" cr for blm as delegste though he could
n" enawfr for bin as alternate? Verily, the
vararleg of th direct primary are almost
Inscrutable!
" Safety In American Travel,
Three hundred end twenty-five American
lailroada, with a mileage of 161,948 miles,
went through the last year without a single
fatality to a passenger by train accident. On
slf tb rallroadi of the country, with a mileage
of over 250,000, 1H passengers were killed.
Not so very many years ago It wag popular to
compare the American with tbe European rail
roads as to aafety of passengers, greatly to tha
disparagement of our domestic lines. Tblg con
dition has been reversed. Latest available fig
ures for Europe place the total number of
fatal accidents to passengers In one year at 700
for a mileage of 187,015. Adoption of safety
devices, of better training for operatives, and
tb Increase In vigilance over train movements
has brought such diminution of casualty that
serloug wreckg art far less numerous than w
v - accustomed to a little whll ago. It may
be that tha danger of travel by rail will never
he entirely ellmlt ted, but progrcrs L: tha
right way i being made. .
Weakness of Our Sefeniei.
A most impressive illustration of the Inade
quacy of our miniature army for the purpose
of national defense Is given by the maneuvers
of the War department In Its efforts to meet the
Mexican situation. In order to protect our
shortest International boundary line from out
rage by ruffians. It is found necessary to atrip
the Atlantic coast of the few artillerymen we
have assembled there, as well as to call on the
states for assistance. What would be the situa
tion if the ragged, nondescript armies of Mex
ico were to attack us In force? While this
exhibition of our unreadiness to meet a military
situation Is going on, the senate, which under
took to at least open the way fo the formation of
a military force that might be serviceable, aur
remlerg to the reactionary house, and conditions
will remain as they are. Democratic Indiffer
ence to tbe country's safety Is appalling. Prom
ires made in November that adequate defense
would be provided are not to be kept even to the
ear, it nil (he I'ulied State i to be left ex
posed In this most critical and delicately danger
ous time of woild relations till a new admlnls
ti . n, swake to Its responslbllttleg itml nililng
to accept them, can be put Into chnrgu at Washington.

The Hiffh Cost of Gasoline
Lttararr Olgast.
THE use ill the price of faaollne haa wrenehed from
the autoinobile-ownrr an agonlied cry for rheaiier
fuel. Klther t must devise a way to Kt
larger supply, th'ia bringing the price down, or w
must find out how to un other fuel In the internal
romlnistlen type of motor. The conclusion of a le
cent Alueiisa'on of the auhject, at a sectional meet
Inif of the Hoelet y of Automobile Enrlner. ahtr'ted
In the automobile, was that more gasoline will be
available by better exploitation of the oil-fields, but
thHt, slntultiineo'Jaly, It la highly desirable thst ant
inoblle-tiikhie should be developed and adapted to
utilize a standard kerosene. "Kerosene-burnlns," the
paper goi i On to ay, "aeerns to be the easiest war te
si-eure a nl.st.intlal drop In the prlee of automobile-fuel."
from an address by K. H. roliambe, entitled "The
Automobile fuel-Situation." quolntlon and abstiact am
made as follows;
"We are coming rapidly to the point where tjir
low-grade fuela which are now stored or wasted, and
In a few carej used for fuel In stationary or slmlla
power-plants, mui be rendered adaptable to automo
biles. Two methods are self-evident to meet this situ
ation; either th ,ie'.rtt meana of vaporliatlon must
tie so lmproel sa to be able to take ear of the
lower-grade fuels, or the fuela themselvaa must be
tracked to form hlnher-Kr'i oltlle. The conclusions
he resehc ate that we must find better methods of
refining the crude In order to produce a larger supply
of fuel from tha existing supply of crude, that we
must create competition in the marketing of fuel,
product, and. furthermost, that vaporizing instru
ments must be developed which will he copstilo of
ua'ng th hydrocarbons of lesser volatility.!
"Bcgunllng alcohol, Mr. Koljambe stated that It
gives no hope for Immediate relief. The reason for
this Is that even without governmental restrictions
for economical use tha present type of automobile,
engina would have to be entirely reconstructed. Pres
ent type of engine can hum alcohol, but they do
o very uneronomieally, approximately M per cent
more fuel being r'iilred per horse-power-hohr than
wer the engines designed for tt use. This put alcohol
out of th present reckoning.
"Kcgnrdlng ber.xol, the author points out that, al
though It is prevalent In Rurope as a fuel, it. ran
only be obtained In this country In limited quantltle.
A long as the war nontlnue. hensnl la in as great
demand s gasoline, and therefore offer no relief, hut
tu the future may wall b considered as a possihio
part of th fuel-iupply,"
Kerosene, on the contrary, hold out a prospeet
of Immediate relief. Thers hs been a great over
production and tha refined oil I itored In vast quanti
ties. To quote again:
"An a matter of fact, even while theoretically
burning gasoline, according to Mr. Foljambe, carbure
tor have recently been provided to handl a mixture
of gasolln and kerosene which on the Baume teat
I often a low as M, and practically none of It over
tA. Commercial kerosene contains 84 per cent of me
dium snd 10 per cent of heavy kroan.
"Th paper state thst th Hlttman process will
yield 3W per cent more gusolln than by any other
known method, and also state that, although seven
plant are In the frilled Htate, none of them I pro
ducing any appreciable quantity of gasoline,
"Kerosene carburetor were next dlseued by the
author, who showed evcra type which have been
heretofore marketed, and which Involved various
mean for breaking up the fuel at th Jet, corn
pletly gasifying It hy heat, or even In one case Igniting
It befor It entered th cylinder."
Another expert who discussed the problem, Prof.
Charles R. Luck of Columbia University, tated thsf
whll kerosene a a fuel I fundamentally dlfferert
from gasoline, and therefore require fundamentally
different means of vaporizing, the problem of mak
ing a proper explosive mixture of kerosene and air Is
not a difficult one. Given a proper proportion in the
mixture, with the correct heat-upply, and th mi
chine will run, through perhap not with the highest
efficiency. Regarding th practical possibility of mak
ing a light, vaporlxabl oil out of a heavy on by
"cracking," or aome similar process, like th on re
cently announced by one of th government labors,
torlea at Washington and described in these page,
Dr. W. F. Jllttman, of the United State bureau of
mines, who I the Inventor of one of the new processes,
stated that tha "cracking" of crude oil I a reality,
and that It is actually keeping down the prices of
gasolln.
Bay th Journal from which w hav been quot
ing: "He predicted that gasoline would continue to
rise until the cracking proces or th us of kerosene
ia able to catch up to the demand. The cracking of
crude oil I a reality. Great number of Intelligent men
are now working on the problem, and therefor the
can only be one result.
"Regarding the matter of competition. Dr. Rlttmnn
said that the little fellow ha been forced to put up
the price simply becauso he could not afford to store
the crudo oil, and consequently had to pay for it on
a rising scale, lie predicted, furthermore, that th
price may go to 40 cent or only Regarding the
percentage of gasoline which today I mad by th
cracking process, he stated that it did not exceed 15
per rent, and consequently wa not enough to offset
the rising tendency.
"A graphic description of the cracking process
wa given by Dr. Klttnian, who pictured the mole
cule of crude, stating that th further down in the
vaporliatlon scale we go the larger become th mole
cules. When there la no restraint on thl larger mole
cule It break Into smaller molecule of gas, but by
applying proper restraining Influence It can be broken
Into gwi'lln Instead. The reason he give for operat
in It hi proresa In the gaseous stale Is that In thl
condition It I possible to secure any variation of pres
ur and temperature. Theie mas a time when cru lo
curried the gasolln price, but today gasolln carries
the pile of crude.
"In Hi Itlttmun process no heat Is applied to 1h
ll.iuid Itself In th container. The liquid to b distilled,
spriiMng particularly of petroleum, t contained in ih
feed-tank from whb h It I fed Into th still. There

OMAHA. May 1.-To the. Editor of The
rice; Some people shed, tears because
tl;"re Is a movement to lax eels. I think
there is more excuse lor taxing cats than
dOjCc, for while dos will destroy some
propeity and icre noiey at times, tliey are
rot In it with futs in the destruction of
property. Cats not only kill lots of birds
but little thl' kens as well. Home one
has rild that cits kill millions of little
chicken each year In the Cnlted Hlste.
The amount of good they do will not
near cover the damage done.
Home think It Is bud luck to tuke a eat
along when tbey move and In that way
there are a lot of tramp cats each year,
and they aie the ones that catch the moat
llttlo ehlrlu-iis and birds. They have no
home and consequently get their living
by i killing bird and chickens. Tramp
cats should be killed the same as tiamp
dott and I can see no good reason why
cats ought not to be taxed as well as
dogs. People do not get rid of their dole
because they h.ive to pay a tsx on them
ami I do not think they will get rid of
the good cats because a fight Is mude on
the tramp cats, I am dccldailly In favor
of InxiUK call and tli'-u have a shooting
mat'-li on tho tramp cats, for It will save
the lives of n umbel lee birds ami little
chickens eacii year,
The the good for nothing soulrrela that
kill birds and destroy nests ought to be
hilled in Kprlng lUr park at least.

A Tempera are Academy.
OO ALL A LA, Neb.. May 9,-To the Edi
tor of Th Bee: When a hoy back In
New York alxty years ago. before the
civil war, there w built an academy
In th little town In which I lived, which
was In the beautiful Oenesee valley. Thla
town wa In the finest pine and hard
wood timber country where, when a
house or barn waa built, the log were
hauled onto the ground and th timber
were hewn and framed, after which there
would bo a "raising" to put up the
frame. At these gatherings thera waa
always whisky, freo to all, but at the
raising of this academy It was given out
cold that there would be no whisky.
"What, no whisky at a raising; then
ther will be no railing," some said. "No
one would go." But there was a great
surprise for such a large crowd had
never before been aeen at a raising.
Th bottom sill were at least a, foot
and a half in diameter and th bent
wer very heavy. Everything wi done
hy hand In those day ther waa no
machinery of any kind, not even Mock
and tackle. Aa miny men a could get
under lifted the heavy lrfnts while either
men stood behind them with pike ready
to help as H went up. It wa a large
three-story building, the largest raising
thev had ever had, but ther waa no
whisky ri tha Job. However, tht
were barrels of rnld lemonade standing
round and little gtri to pass It out, and
that old building h stoed from that
day to this, sixty eai. You might say
tt rest upon the ltd foumUtlnu of
