The commission appointed yesterday may
be the final step toward the solution OF the
embarrassing problem I'm Indianapolis.
The pioneer in the advocacy OF track ele-
walton was Col Eli Lilly. the first presi-
dem of the Commercial Club. He brought
the question before the directors of that
club in 1894 and they authorized the appoint
ment OF an elevated track commission.
Colonel Lilly was the head of this commits
sion until his death in 1s9S Since then
William Fortune has been it's president.
The first four years of track elevation
agitation was wholly educational and d.

AUTO OWNERS TO COMBINE.
Plans for Forming Organization
Speedway and Club House Proposed.

The first step toward the formation OF an
automobilists' club or association was
taken last night. when a few enthusiastic
owners of motor ears assembled In the
Office Of Mr.. Fulton r., Gordon, at 613 14th
street northwest The meeting was called
as mass meeting for owners OF autos, but
doubtless owing to the unpleasant weather
only a few attended and the project Tor
the mass meeting was abandoned. A COM
mittee was appointed I'd devise means for
the perfection of the organization desired.
The persons who ATTENDED the meeting
have broad ideas as to the enforcement of
the automobile regulations, and do not de-
sire, as has been stated, to antagon1Ze the
police in the enforcement of the rules.
They desire to see the rules enforced, they
state, and enforced rigidly, but they also
demand justice iRI their enforcement, ana
propose to make the police prove that their
testing machines are absolutely correct. 1t
is the desire of the arstemobilsts to build a
boulevard somewhere in the vicinity of
Washington that iwillfServe as speedway
for automobiles, much like the speedway
for drivers. 1t is Also desired to erect a
club house near this speedway for the con-
venienee OF the members. These matters
have only been suggested as yet. however,
no definite plans having been made.
The committee appointed last night In
cludes Mr.. Gordon. chairman; Mr.. W.
Frank Butts Mr.. William 8. Duvau. Mr.
w. J. Foss and Mr. Howard G. Wagner,
and will formulate plans for a mass meet
ing of automobiles. when all these mat
tiers will be taken into consideration.
1t is probable that the meeting will be
called next week :

LAND OWNERS HELP.
"The land owners have showed will

bearing a portion OF the expense OF
fighting the fires. In a number OF In

CONS WORK GOES ON.

GODS WORK GOES ON.
Gods work goes on in spite of war and famine,
The dreaded pestilenee or haneful blight,
In spite OF all the selfish greed Of mammon
That tolls amid the shadows of the night;
In spite OF evil hearts and hands essaying
To crush the temple that we build upon,
The law and order so divine obeying.
Unmoved by mans device-God's work
goes on.
Not always in a radiance of splendor,
The brilliant dazzling of the MONDAY sun,
But in an atmosphere serene and tender
His mightiest miracles are daily done;
And though short-sighted and dul-witted
mortals
Themselves against His majesty array,
Nor give him entrance through the hearts closed
portals,
Gods work goes on, and will not make delay.
No human power can interrupt Its mission;
AS well attempt the planets TO remove.
Or change single star from the position
1t holds amid the galaxy above:
And SO when all our plans prove unavailing,
When busy hands and throbbing hearts are
stilled.
Doubt not, but rest assured that still unfailing
Cots work goes on-His plans are all fulfilled.

The leading article in the July Success
perhaps it would be better to say the first
artie e-entitled "Citizens of Nature",
gives both sides OF city and country life in
an amusing description of the city man in
the country in contrast with the country
man in the city. To quote:
1.-The city man delights to mock the
country mans simplicity-in town, his
'hayseed' ignorance of the bewildering
mechanism of city life, but when the city
man goes up state, the country man has
his revenge.
"Here's fellow no has to be told from
what quarter the wind is blowing, who
sees COW MIXED for the first time, and
asks: what is that? every few minutes.
When you think of it, it is rather amazing
how ignorant we who live in cities are of
the forces and processes back of us.
.'Our city mechanism would wither like
an unwatered flower without the new
milk, the fresh eggs, the fish out of the
sea, the ducks in reedy ponds, the bees in
million hives, and the cattle in thou
sand stock yards.
II am thinking of how the wheat grows,
and is reaped and ground, and is finally

are growing and apples are ripening; OF
pastures where herds are feeding; of
sunny slences where the bees hum, and
the doves COO, and the hen proudly cackles
her great news; of all The golden sap of
silence that wells below the noisy surface
of the world.
"And when l said he country man had
the best OF the laugh l meant that, of the
two learnines, his was that most worth
having. think no city man ever takes
his poor little yearly holiday without
realizing how artificially the majority of
his days are spent, and where his heart
really lies.
