Newspaper Page Text2' DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1007. HOFER BROS. Publishers and Proprietors E. HOFER, Editor. A. F. IIOFEK, Mnnngcr. THE JOURNAL STANDS FOR PROURESS, DEVELOPMENT, GOVERNMENT. AND NO DEGRADHD LAUOR. GOOD NO ONE WA iTS THE I'OLE. Peary Is having a hard tlmo In collecting money to carry out his plan of making a dash for the North Polo. THURE KKVIUl WAS A GENER h INTEREST IN THE SUIWECT 'OP POIjA.II EXPIX)RATION of a. siihstantlal onough ohnractor to Induce "those who i)O3808a It to go down doply Into their pockets to carry out the plans of the ambitious explorers. Usually tho funds for this purposo aro provided by enthusiasts who nro about equally animated by the desire to advanco the causes of sclenco and THE ITCH FOR NOTORIETY. Until tho world in convinced that polar dlscovorlos will roault In sub slmilnl benefits to mankind, this lukowarmnoss Is sure to continue. o THE WORLD'S FUEL PHOLEM. No subject discussed during recent years has called forth more di verse opinion than that of tho world's supply of fuel. Unfortunately, however, whllo In gravity Is fully rocognlzod, It moms Impossible to persulndo tho present generation that It Is really n norlous matter, one which may touch them much sooner than most opti tfilsts aro willing to concede. The altitude, generally Is ono of selfish Indifference, nnd those main taining It havo no hotter excuso to, offer than tho dubious ono that tho iidvnnco in scloncc, and the attendant ability to take caro of things will discover a way out of tho difficulty when mankind is up shnrp against There may bo r.mplo ground for the opllmlBtlc assumption that some offecllvo Hiihstltuto will bo found f'r con when tho existing supply Is ttxhntiHlcd; It may oven bo concodoil that tho nicasurcs contain a quan tity of fuol which will Inst centuries at tho present rnto of consumption; Ylio tremendous part played by water In tho generation of oloctrlc now wr may bo kept In mind, and tho possibilities of alcohol mny not bo ovorrutod, and still tho fact remains that WHEN COAL RECOMES SCARCE SOMETHING LIKE A REVOLUTION WILL HE COMPELLED AN OUR MODE OF LIVING nnd It will necessarily rosomblo n rovorslon to primitive conditions. Whllo ths correctness of this assumption mny not evon ho consldorod 1y those who novor consider n prohlim until It In forcod upon thorn, there aro somo sludoats and practical pcoplo who do not hosltnto to assort that 'THE CONSERVATION' OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND SPECIALLY THE PRESERVATION OF OUR IRREPLACEAHLE FUEL SUPPLY" SHOULD HE THE PRIME OR.IECT OF EVERY AIERICAN STATESMAN. Among those la tho editor of tho Iron Trado Hovlow, who polntB out Hint the Industrial future of tho United tSntos may hlngo on ottr ability to obtain an ndoqutito utipply of coal, and who hints that wo may bo loaning on a broken rood when wo lay too much stress upon tho groat Htoros of fuol not yet uncovorod and which may yot bo discovered In un progrossivo countries. Tho hint may with safety bo riovulopod' Into somothlng stronger. There Is no reasonable ground for bollovlng that tho lusano desire to got rid of an Irroplanoablo article- like coal will alwayB exist. On tho contrary, It Is tnoro than Probablo that with a growing appre ciation or the value of fuol In tho work of Industrial development an op posite policy may he pursued, and Peoples possessing storos of coal will take sptops to prevent Its exportation. Premonitions of a resort to such a course wore contained In tho re cent notion of Groat Hrltalu plnclii; an export duty on conl, which was ilofndod on tho ground that tho tax would tend to cousorvo tho supply for tho deiuoBtle Industry. It (Iouh not follow hoeuuse Groat Hrltalu has romovod tho oxport duty from coal that her statesmen wero convinced of tho unwisdom of Biieh a policy. THEY DID SO RECAI'SE TIIIJV COULD NOT WITHSTAND THE PRESSURE OF THOSE WHO MA KE MONEY RY SELLING COAL TO FOREIGNERS. In the wiiiid way wo shall probably got rid or a large iiharo of our sup ply. Tlit Iron Trade Review fonwocw that inch will bo tho caso. It uaoMi'ttt that "ovory objection Is mihnrdlnntu to tho utilitarian Idea that Amorlea, owing to Its abundant, and comparatively virgin ro ouroee, will soouor or In tor become nn Important seller of coal to the older IBuropoan countries which are hemming rapidly linpovorlshod, elnce with tho (rowing shrinkage their remaining pace with tho fining demand for very Ioiik." So, uemrdliiK to this authority, wj may expect to follow Til IC SAME UNWISE COURSE AS THE OLDER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AND DIMINISH OUR SUPPLY TO THE STATE OF IMPOVERISHMENT. The qiUHitloii this prospect raise a vital ono. Whou wo havo reached the degree of Impoverishment, nnd try to draw on uthur nations now in tho backward stage, will they be ns ready to part with their fuel as wo have been? Will they not rather see the advantage Its possession glveti them and keep all they emu at homo. In that event, when our coal la gone li there Hiiy oua silly onough to Imagine that tho Irreplnctuhle coal will find an ndoqiiatu suhtdltute In water power and nloohol? Thoeo two uourotM may prove vnluuhlo auxiliaries In the future, hut thoy will eut a poor llguro In n contest with countries whloh can com mand abundant suppllee of coal. o . THIS CORRESPONDENT IS REMINISCENT, NOT "THOUGHT. FUL" Thought assembles the facts from memory nnd from observation, sorts them, annylzes them, adds them up nnd renches a, conclusion. A thoughtful person who travels over so llttlo In tho United States will recognize all tho facts set out by this correspondent. To sort tho facts nnd draw somo conclusions It Interesting. First of all, tho hotel Is essenthlly a "down-town" establishment Therefore tho rental value- of a bed or n dining tnblo situated In a building that stands upon land of high valuo is considerable. A room nnd bath at four dollars a day may represent but fifty centa for tho investment and rental value of tho bed, but tho rental value of tho room In which the bed Btnnds Is big. EVEN THE BRASS, THE PLUSH, AND THE ORNAMENTAL FRONT OFFICE DOES NOT USE UP THE OTHER THREE AND A HALF. Tho American will pay more for a room In tho business district than, for a room outside. The hods may bo exactly nliko, but the bed thnt is reached In two minutes from tho theater gets tho traveler's monoy In thl3 country, and what tho bulk of tho t-avollng public seeks, tho minority must accept. Tho travelor for business wanes the down-town hotel. The hotel dweller who likes plueh and brns3 and a cheap orchestra, and has somo ready money, likes a down-town hotel. Most of tho travelers for pleasure like a down-town hotel. These classes pay four dollars a day for fifty-cents' worth of homo comforts, and three fifty for ground rent. Until thnt class which mado tho old English Inn n paying institution and which has later given tho "European plan" to England and Eur ope, arrives in this country, tho Inn will not pay. Whan that class grows among us tho Inn will come. It will be situated well out of the business contor where tho valuj of tho ground will bo something less Minn a fortune. It will bo six stories high. IT WILL HAVE SUNSHINE, AND REDS AND REAL FOOD. Tho ornamental office will bo nbS9nl. These nro tho forerunners of tho American Inn thnt is to be, an In stitution ns different from the down-town hotel ns tho costume of the Howory Is different from tho slmplco dress of tho sweet girl graduate. The "thoughtful correspondent" of the Post would find a study of ground rontnls and American travelers vastly cntortninlng.
