A CHEERFUL PROPHECY.

The animal that cannot be trained l to keep it's wits about it on the ap-
 proach of a motor car must disappear | Its stupidity filth, sloth, fear of every thing and useless size prove to the most conservative that it must go.
 The horse that will not stand a motor car may be the delight of it's owner but it is a public nuisance and pub-
 lie danger, and ought to be shot like a
 mad dog. Horsemen have no right to bring manageable brutes into the
 public highways, to the public danger and it is time that this elementary justice should be recognized. The mo- tor is going to become the means of locomotion for all light transit, and by the ordinary roads as they exist today
 It is the pedestrian and the horse that have got to give way. The horse in traffic, if he chooses to bolt, is uncon- trolla ble. The motor, from the light est bicycle to the heaviest car, is per- fectly controlable, occupies half the space and travels now through the congested streets at double and treble the speed of any horse drawn vehicle. The only thing the two have in com mon is that at times they both refuse to go.
 The unobservant talk of the acci- dents that would happen. The acci- dents will be a great deal fewer in num- Der. A conclusive proof of this, to any one with any sense. is the fact that in the thousand miles tour no one, I be- lieve, was hurt, though the roads were lined with spectators. In the race from Paris to Berlin, three days, and the tour around Italy, ten days, but two children were killed, the result entirely of their own carelessness or that of their parents Suppose, for moment. that in France a hundred and ten teams, or rather, droves, of horses there were hundred and ten motors ranging from fifty in a bunch down to two-this was the horsepower of the machines-had been let loose and driven at top speed for three days on the public roads Will any one tell me that thousands of people would not have been killed, thousands of drivers would not have lost their lives as we'll? But that would have been described as sport Now, because two miserable brats es- cape and try to run across the road in front of a motor car, and therefore na- turally are killed, the press and poli- ticians occupy themselves and prove their conteInptlble ignorance and utter. unf1tness for holding the positions they do, by condemning the industry, derid- ing the sport, and ridiculing the results. The only danger to be feared from the motor car is it's own driver, the only drawback is it's own imperfection. Read the reports of automobile acci- dents; approximately, these are fewer than from any other form of locomotion. and in nine cases out of ten the accident occurs to the driver or the occupant of

the car; in the tenth case 1t is owing to the stupidity or the carelessness of the person who gets in front. The aver- age pedestrian has simply got to learn to keep out of the way, and that is the end of it. The people who choose to drive horses that shy at motors any longer upon the high road should be ar rested for criminal negligence and pros- eeuted as public nuisance The pe- destrian has learned not to argue phy- sically with fast trotting horse; he must learn to make his observations against motor cars from the sidepath. True, sidepaths will have to be im- proved; that will be a most excellent thing, though much less of job than making new roads; they may even have to be fenced in. The talk about danger, however, is promoted by either the ig- norant or the interested. Joseph Pen- nell, in the Contemporary Review.

SUBSCRIBERS ADVERTISING COLUMNS.

The plan briefly suggested here is a
practical one, Thousands of comrades will
patronize each other if they are shown
the way. The only way is to advertise.
This is good time for developing the
plan, because comrade may have ad-
vertising without cost if he will get up
club. For every dollar sent to the paper
as a club-raiser he may have 81 worth of
advertising.
The price Of this advertising has been
fixed at 5 cents a word, which is very
low rate. You reach a quarter-million
readers and will often get hundreds of re-
plies from a single ad.
All the world deals now through the
mails or by express or freight. Try it
yourself.
Write us the substance of what you
want to say, and we will arrange it in the
fewest possible words.
Regimental historians and Secretaries
of Survivors Associations will find these
columns very useful
