VALUE OF AUTOMOBILES.
Will Greatly Enlarge Social and eusi-
nese Possibilities.

With the universal adoption of the
motor car, which we are told to ex.
pect in the very near future. we shall
be able to live three times as much in
the same span of years. our horizon
will be extended and our lives will be
wider and more interesting.
The motor age. on which we have
already entered-according to Henry
Norman, who contributes an interest
ing forecast to the Worlds Work
will effect n revolution as remarkable
as that brought about by the steam To-
comotive.
THE average radius of the horse
keeper of to-day" says Mr.. Norman,
lis twelve miles. With car of ten
or twelve horsepower the radius of
the whole family is comfortably thirty
miles.
The area of circle whose radius
is twelve miles is 452 square miles,
but the area of one whose radius is
thirty miles is 2,s27 square miles.
Thus the car owner has a sphere of
activity exceeding by 2.375 square
miles that of the horse owner. with all
its additional opportunities of inter
course with his fellows.
I'm other words, the possession of a
car multiplies the contents and the
effective sphere of mans life.
Think of what II means. Every
friend within 5000 square miles can
be invited, any plc.ce of worship or
lecture or concert attended and bust
ness appointment kept. the train met
at any railway station, every post and
telegraph and telephone office within
reach. every physician accessible. any
place reached for golf or tennis or
fishing or shooting, and with 1t all
fresh air inhaled under cxhilarating
conditions. 1t is n revolution in daily
life.
THE influence upon the community
will be no less than upon the individ-
ual. Our country districts will revive

DR.. Taylor is a good citizen, a man

that he wishes the defeat of the dem

not have time to con suit the will of

citizen none have objection to his

didate of his party. which formally
held its convention and he was de-
feated in that convention, that democ-

any member of that party as it is fact

We denounce the extravaganza of the re-
publican county administration; the partial
ity shown in the asses sment Valuations; the
free hand given the county clerk who Is per
mitted all the fees of his office to distribute
as he sees fit among his favorites and PEN
sloners.
We strongly condemn the action of the
governor of this state IN calling out the

of city affairs for the economy shown for

stand taken upon the municipal owne ship
of public utilities, and for the unprejudice1
and unbiased position it has taken always
upon all matters affecting the public inter
ests.
With these principles and the present and
past records of the party in the administra-
ton of both county and city affairs we come

from the party to which he gives az
legiance. Suppose something was de-
manded that necessitated his candi-

of his party covered that demand.
The truth is those who have had
him nominated believe they can use
him for their private. personal ends.
If such has been their calculations.
they will fall far short in their reali-
cation, as DR.. Taylor is too strong
minded, a man of too high honor to
be used as a cats paw to pull chest
nuts from the fire and aid other peo-
pie.
All in all the candidacy of DR.. Tay-
lor is unfortunate 1t is the only in
harmonious thing now in the way of
a reunited democracy. The demo-
cratic ticket is as sure to win. as any
sure thing can be possible. If DIR.
Taylor cannot see it now, he will in
the future. that his candidacy doubt
less i'll good faith by him, was the
least thing desired by the party right
now. That aside from very small
contingent, democracy is standing
shoulder to shoulder for victory,
which is bound to be the result of
the splendid campaign it is making
and upon the principles upon which
it asks the suffrages of the people.

THE BOYCOTT.

The un-American boycott has re-

thracite coal strike commission, in the
following no uncertain language,
every word of which receives our un-
qualified endorsement:
''What is popularly known as the
boycott Ga word of evil omen and
happy origin) is form of coercion by
which a combination of many persons
compel others to abstain from social
or business intercourse with certain
person or persons.
Carried to the extent sometimes
practiced in aid of a strike, and as
was in some instances practiced in
connection with the late anthracite
strike it is as cruel weapon of ag-
gres sion and its use immoral and an
ti-social, and the concerted attempt
to accomplish it is conspiracy at
common law and merits and should
receive the punishment due to such
crime.'
So long as its use Is resorted to la
Dor will be the loser and not the
gamer in public Judgment. Men who
believe in individual liberty will re-
sent its operations. 1t strikes at the
root of guaranteed freedom OF action
and constitutional personal liberty.
No man will subscribe to its forms
of coercion, whose forbears in any
wise contributed to the liberty we
enjoy under free government. 1t. is

George Gray, of Delaware, Labor
Commissioner Carroll d. Wright,
Brigadier John NJ. Wilson, Bishop
John Spalding of Illinois, Thomas

be sucffiient to convince any man that
a boycott is a crime, which the people
will not now or ever consent to be
incorporated as an unwritten law of
