ethical principles in politics.
A senator of such constituency
ought to be worthy Of it: and, iu-
deed, Mr.. Sullivan in the past has
borne an excellent reputation, and
many people had prophesied for
him a brilliant career. He was
looked upon as boy wonder, and
was one Of the youngest men ever
elected to state senatorship He
is now only 80 years old.
The arrests of boodlers and their
conviction by juries ut St. Louis

applause throughout the state
which follows the good work, SHOW
that the masses of the people in
this state ure imbued with the
proper spirit aud principles. The
reform movement is on in Missouri
but there is no funaticism. 1t is
more a business Of grim determina-

that Attorney General Grow will

Such tactics will not fail to break the hold

While the Serpollet racers and the Cannon
car are true freaks which could not be used
for pleasure vehicles, the Gobron-Brilld
and all the Winton cars may be called semi
freaks, because. although they are not tour
ing cars fitted with racing bodies, they are
so constructed that touring-car bodies could
be fitted to them.
Records in this country may be said
to have been started in 1901, at the races
on the Fort Erie track, where Fournier
made the record Of minute 1877 seconds
for a mile. This stood until Oct. 8, when
A. c. Bostwick lowered it to 1 minute
IL 2-5 seconds on the Empire City track.
He held this record less than half an hour,
however, for Fournier went out on the
same track and in run Of six miles covered
the third mile in 1 minute 4-5 seconds.
On Oct "a, 1901 Alexander Winton, at De-
troit, reduced this to minute 1926 seconds,
In 1902, the mile record was cut several
times and records of all sorts went flying.

the efficiency of the practical, worka-day
article has been steadily increased by the
,doption of mechanical wrinkles which
we're first wrought out for special racing
purposes. The progress OF all vehicular
manufacture has been concomitant with
racing development. The racing test has
ever been the vital spark Of life and advance
in these lines-and for this reason The
aim with all has been. first, last and always,
the attainment of speed-speed for the
doctors gig. speed for the stage coach,
speed for the donkey engine, speed for
the belts and shafts, speed for the locomo-
tive, speed for the vehicle of individual
transportation, the bicycle.
In all the lines mentioned the racing test
has been the precursor of progress. The
racing locomotive was the tentative ex-
preston of the Empire State Express and
of the twenty-hour trains between New
York and Chicago. The ball-bearing, the
pneumatic tire for bicycle, trotting sulkv
and automobile. and hundred other i'm
portant mechanical improvements, have
been mere responses to the incessant de-
mand for speed.

in three days and half, and A. c. Bostwick,
were among the pioneers in this sort OF
speed trials.
In the spring of 1900 the Automobile
Club of America promoted fifty-mile
race on the Merrick road, Long Island, in
which Alexander Fischer made a record
of hour minutes AZ seconds for twenty
five miles and record Of hours 80 minutes
second for fifty miles, slower time than
the bicvcle records. This was the first
competition event in the Fast and it was
then that the freak racing machine so
called, made its first appearance. BY the
term freak is meant peculiarly con-
structed vehicle made expressly for racing
and otherwise useless. In the fifty-nile
race A. L. Riker introduced an electric
vehicle that was practically big box full
of storage cells and a motor on wheels.
1t was tremendously expensive and en-
tirely mpracticabe as commercial
proposition or for ordinary use
In the one-rile speed trials on the Coney
Island boulevard on Nov. 49, 1901. MIR.
Riker introduced another electric racing
machine, a very low frame with big battery
and motor hung in it. With this he sue
ceeced in making a mile in / minute and
2 seconds, which stands to-day as record
for electric cars. These two machines and

adept in this form Of wrestling.
According to experts, the defence has q
little advantage in Grsco-Roman, OF which
four Of the more noted holds follow. As In

be worked out by little study and practice
of these holds.
Do not forget that the exercise should
be taken moderately, and that holds which
might prove too severe should not be car

Or, while the opponent is in the air, throw

give you the hold called halfNelson when

Both mark the superlative attainment OF
contemporaneous effort. The open con-
test is the greatest stimulant to productive
competition, and entirely aside from their
quality as sport purveyors, the successful
racehorse and racing machine have rea-
son for their being in that they are the
greatest incentives to excellence that the
producer has. The race winner acclaims
his producers excellence, and his success.

though 1t is commonly supposed that all

The fact is quite the contrary Most Of
the competition has been between regular

times the addition Of hood to cut the wind

they have been cars which were as practi-
