THE AUTOMOBILE VS.. THE HORSE.

In the case OF the automobile VS.. the
horse. the public already has rendered
verdict for the plaiit N. with these
findings:The automobile is ready with
out having TO be hitched up. II can be
more easily stored. no stable being
needed. A coachman is unnecessary,
since anybody. man or woman. who
can ride a bicycle. can run ii. IL is
safer, as il can be guided with greater
accuracy, stopped in shorter distance.
and turned in less space IL can be left
standing without an attendant. IL Is
speedier, cleaner. less noisy. never gets
hungry or thirsty. never suffers from
heat or cold, never takes fright and
runs away. and doesn't fall off IN con-
diton for lack of exercise. Finally, IL
affords an exhilaration OF swift and
even movement, with nothing I'm front
TO obstruct the View, and no mud from
flying heels. with a sensation of a
mighty force harnessed TO do your bid
ding with which the horse drawn ear
riage has nothing TO compare. Some
times in dreams we are borne swiftly
along familiar roads. our feet near.
but not touching the earth, upheld ana

others toll onward laboriouSly. That is
something Ike the sensation expert
enced in a first ride in an electric cab.
The first machines seen here gave forth
a roaring sound, fear-inspiring TO man
and beast. but the substitution of raw
hide for steel plnions has made the
newer machines practically noiseless.
A motor carriage Is expensive TO be-
gin with; but, taking into considera-
ton that there are no horses TO be
bought with il, the extra cost is more
apparent than real. An electric cab
costs some fifteen hundred dollars 10
build, and the more delicate and ele-
CANT private vehicles run up into the
thousands. But the expense of opera
ton is slight. A charge OF electricity
for one run may be had for sixty
cents. The gasoline for an eleven hun

When Susan b. Anthony returns
to Ameisca from the great Internation-
al Council of Women, recently held i'm
London. she will come with some new
sparklers in her crown of glory. When
we read of the ovations which greeted
Miss Anthony on every side while i'm
London. we can not but feel proud that
she belongs to us and is an American
through and through. The London
Times says: 'The London people are
going wild over Miss Anthony. she ia
being entertained by all the lords ana
ladies of the United Kingdom. She
dimes with Lady Somerset. stops over
night with the Countess of Aberdeen
and breakfasts with her. she lunches
next day with the Duchess of Sutber-
land, lis received by the Queen. and
threatens every day to call upon the
Princess OF Wales, who is really ,,or,.
anxious to see the dear old lady s,s.
fragist." London dispatch 70 tbo
New York World says: when susa,
B. Anthony. the great pioneer in the
work \of womans enfranchisarnor,
arose to speak there was a tunpi, .
applause lasting fully FIVE minutes"
When we compare this reception with
that accorded her no longer ago than
in 1879 we can but feel an immense
amount OF respect for the woman vb,
has had the moral courage To stand h,,
a principle amid the discouragemor,s
and ridicule to which she was for 40
many years subjected.

KANSAS "JsyS." /"

II is our manner of taking intrench-
ments across streams which has put
the finishing touch on the reputation of
Colonel Frederick Funston of the
Twentieth Kansas. and so thoroughly
demoralized the rebels that they sent
over Colonel Arguelles, Luna's chief OF
staff, and Lieutenant Bernal, an aide,
to sue for peace.
There are reasons why a Kansas man
should not be blamed for trying to rub
his success into the meinbeiV OF certain
volunteer regiments which called the
Kansas lays" at Camp Merritt. The
Kansans now regard their appearance
upon their arrival in Frisco as an inn
portant and glorious feature in the his
tory OF their regiment. These victims
OF local politics were without discipline
and wore their cast-off civilian clothes.
The Frisco papers called them Cox

ing-stock OF town and camp. 1t goes
without saying that they kept a stiff

There is now question raised In
several towns as to whether elections
can be legally held, where the registrar
OF voters has not complied with the
new constitution in regard to opening
the registration books in January az
the law directs, aud we believe the
Attorney General has given it as his
opinion that the elections would be
illegal. Now 1t would be good idea
for our Board Of Aldermen to investi-
gate this matter at once, and see if our
town election would not be in the Same

law directs.
