The Automobile
and the Horse.
By MIR. E. S. ALVORD,
of the Littlefield G Alvord Transfer
Company.

The automobile will finally supplant
the horse in all fields OF labor if
That ''if'' is a big one. 1t ought to be
| spelled with capital IT,
| We had rather use automobiles in
our business. They are better in ev-
| cry way, so far as use is concerned.
They look better; they are easier to
handle; they are quicker; they are
neater. You can do things with them
that are impossible with the horse,
| while there is no utility OF the horse
| that you do not find in the automo-
| bile. Particularly is this so in our
business.
The greatest feature of the auto, SO
far as We are concerned, is the fact
that the power required to operate
the auto can also be used for other
purposes. Suppose, for instance. we
are engaged in moving heavy safe.
We have an electric auto. The cleo
tricity which moves the vehicle is
also sufficient TO carry the safe down
from any story OF the highest build
ing and then hoist il to the very top |
of the highest structure. 1t will ac-
complish this more quickly and more |
easily than any other known power. !
1t will also do the work with more |
safety to person and property than |
aEy other agency.
Why. then, is the auto not in general
use? Because We can't afford it. The
original cost itself is almost prohibi-
tive. while the cost of operation and
maintenance renders the commercial
use of the auto an impossibility. No
matter how much business we might
do it would be at a loss with the auto.
In fact, the more business we did with
the auto the more we would lose.
With horses the reverse is true.
No; the auto has not yet reached
the point where the horse need fear
its occupation gone. or even going.
The first cost of the machine must be
cut in two, if not even more greatly
reduced. and the cost OF operation and
maintenance must be similarly re-
duced before the auto can be given
any consideration as practical busi-
ness proposition. The horse can con-
tinue to eat it's oats without any fear
or trembling.

Industrial Condition Perilous.

Il consider the present Industrial con-
dition of the country Derilcus in the ex-
treme," said Mr.. r. J. Minton. a promi-
nent manufacturer OF Chicago, at the Ra-
leigh.
The fact is paradoxical, as it may seem
but the country is too prosperous. This
great activity in the commercial and in
dustrial world is fraught with danger. y
direct and menacing result is that it pro-
duces discomfort among the laboring class.
Operatives IN the mills. railway employees,
and wage earners of every sort become
dissatisfied. They think they are not get
ting their share of the great revenue OF
their employers. and. even though they
may be receiving high pay, want that pay
increased
Il am not an alarmist, but I think we
are on the edge of 4 volcano, or. directly
speaking, look to see labor disturbances
on a big scale start up before the present
year is much further advanced. The
workmen are nursing their discontent. but
it will break out as surely as the present
good times last.

Mr.. Quay's Defense of Chinese.

Senator Quay was one OF the most con-
! spicuous Senator's on the floor during the
debate and voting on the Chinese ex-
I clusion bill He did several things to at
tract attention to himself. He took a
| unique position on the bill in the first
| place, making speech in defense Of the
| Chinese as a wonderful race. older than
any other now existing on the globe. He
| said that the Chinese laborer is a very
good laborer, in his opinion. and that he
very much doubted if there should be
any Chinese exclusion. He suggested that
an amendment should be adopted allow
ing Chinese farm laborers and house SER
wants to come into this country.
Bet it was with regard to his amend
ment providing for the admission of Chi
nese Christians that he was most inter
ested in. He was only to be allowed FIVE
minutes and so laid his plans to divide
up what he had to say among two or three
amendments. He had long extract from
China in Convulsion" w;th regard to the
fine character of the Chinese Christians
read during one FIVE minutes. and a long
article on the defense of the cathedral
at Pe-tang during another time ALLOW
ance.
IN third five minutes he gave his own
views on the Chinese Christians. which
were quite as laudatory as those of the
author OF China in Conyulsion." He said
that possibly few pretenders might get
into the United States under this amend
ment. but that if this happened it would
Christianity had fiourished here.
It is said in Pennsylvania that the
strong point in the armor OF Mr.. Quay is
his attitude toward the churches Some
people say that he would have been re-
tired long ago if it had not been that
whenever he gets a chance he puts in
good word for some church project.

In one of the uptown hotels an indi-
vidual who bore the unmistakable signs
of misfortune was at work last evening

Gus looking. well-groomed guests.
He did the deaf and dumb act with great

friends. \ good many quarters and
halves were dropped in his hat ere the
hotel detective spotted him. He was
promptly escorted to the door, and by sign
