Hostility to the automobile on the
part Of people who cannot own one,
or who have suffered from "scorh-
ers, or who are naturally timid, APP
pears to be fast dying out
The automobile is winning its way,
just as the bicycle did before it. AS
it becomes cheaper it becomes more
and more popular. All that is need
ed to make it more common in
Florida is good roads. BY the time
we get the roads it will have become
a universal fad, just as the bicycle
did, and after that-well, it may 90
again just as the bicycle has gone.
The hostility to the mobile is the
same hostility that we find against
anything new, whether it is a self
driven wagon, labor saving ma
chine or a new political doctrine.
There never was new mode OF
locomotiOn that did not in its early
stages arouse dire hostility.
There was never anything new
offered to humanity that lot Of peo-
pie did not find fault with.
The opposition to StephensOn's
locomotive is historic. Professor
Morse, the inventor Of the telegraph.
was almost driven insane by the ridi-
cule heaped upon him. In our own
times the opposition to the trolley
car has been 50 strong, even in New
York City, as to retard its use there.
The few killings that followed the
introduction Of electricity on street
cars filled the public with dread
bordering on terror. But they have
gotten used to it in cities now, or
perhaps defects have been remedied.
Anyway, trolley cars are now con-
sidered the safest as well as the best
and cheapest method of public
transportation.
The bicycle "schorcher" is still
prominent and now and then he
claims victim, as of yore, but little
is heard of him any more. We have
gotten used to him. Perhaps we
have learned to get out of his way.
1t is to be the same in the case of
automobiles. There have been and
are abuses with automobiles-the
same sort Of lack brains which the
bicycle scOrcher shows in infringing
on other peoples rights. But com
mon sense will prevail in the end.
There is really more danger to the
public in cities from horses and their
driving than there is from automo-
biles. But we are used to horses
We do not think of the danger We
have adjusted ourselves to that con-
ditiOn. When automobiles become
as familiar we shall be able to con-
slider them, too. without prejudice.
The automobile is the vehicle Of
progress. 1t can not be stopped. 1t
has come to stay.

Bob" Davis Tribute to Judge
Locke.

During the discussion of the
Swayne Impeachment case in the
House Of Representatives last week
it was several times insinuated that
the proceedings against Judge Chas
Swayne grew out Of the prejudice of
the people Of Florida against him be-
cause he was a northern man and a
republican. Mr.. Powers of Massa-
chusetts, himself republican, was
defending the people of Florida
against this charge when he was in
terrupted by Congressman Rob't w.
Davis, who said:
Mr.. Davis of Florida wish to
say to the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts (Mr Powers) that, as one of
the representatives from Florida, |
thank him for what he has kindly
said to us. / desire to say, further,
that we have two Federal Judges in
my state, one for the northern and
the other for the southern district.
They are both northern men, and
both republicans. The judge of the
southern district is James w. Locke,
and there is no man in Florida more
honored, more loved and more re-
spected by the people of that state
than Judge Locke cloud applause.)
Mr.. Powers of Massachusetts

for his statement concerning the

upon the floor of the House, and

THE SPENT MAN"

Some entries recently taken from
the records kept at the municipal
lodging house in Chicago are elo-
quent of misery. For instance

work when - for Queen City Cotton

works; steady four years; gave out;
restaurant work; tramping since;
power gone; passed on
In the city lodging house this sort
Of man is known as spent man."
The candle of his life has been
burned at both ends. The spark of
vitality has been famed into quick
consumption. Stunted in body,
blunted in mind, crushed in spirit,
he is no longer a man. He is a
wreck-a derelict, drifting on the
sea of life. He is just able to keep
afioat. He gave up" His power
is gone. He passed on"
Why should men, created in Gods
image and destined to three score
years and ten, be old and worn out at
q? In two words-child labor.
Society made these men slaves in
childhood-sentenced them to hard
labor in infancy. 1t crushed them

to make men decrepit. 1t put them

beds. 1t bent their boyish backs to
the loom when they ought to have
been playing at leap-frog.
Passed on" To what?
To tramping and vagabondage. |
To petty thievery. To beggary.
Seldom to murder or capital crime. |
There is not left enough in them for
such an effort. They are the flotsam |
and jetsam Of society. Firmly con-
sciOus that the world has not been |
quite fair to them, they are not saw

Behold your work, o goddess of
greed You killed the body and the
soul OF these men when they were
just out Of the cradle! Are you
proud of your handiwork? God
made them living souls; you made
them things!
Spent men! Passed on! And the
world must feed them. In a pecu-
liar sense the world owes them

THE PRESIDENT AND FOOTBALL.
 If the president should inject some of his own good backbone into the um- pires, or if our college authorities would employ only umpires who have backbone, the question of brutality in football would be quickly eliminated. And by brutality I mean foul play, for that is the brutal element of the game. Nobody is worrying about hard play; it is the foul play that creates disas- ter and is bringing the game into dis repute. The kind of play, for ex- ample, that saw the other day in the Princeton-C Columbia game, where all most every time a pfunging back went into the time the fist of an opponent met him in the face or on the neck. I watched the performance through both halves, each team being about an equal offender-and the umpire. never saw it. a single time.
 Yes, it is all right to get the coaches together and to have them send through the press signed promises ito teach a decent, white mans game, but I'm afraid the practical result will not bS AAONS"OALt4 IAAAo fSNe19uAis IL lop tslAC fer one thing, and 1t does not touch the. higher up influence which is as insistent and powerful in college sport as it is in New-York politics. ..

STEINERTONE PIANoFoRFE.
Splendid YuIe-Tide Gift at Manufae-
 turers' Prices.

The Yuletide days are at hand, when ones mind is crowded and puzzled with thoughts of presents. There are many who would like a piano if they could get one at a reasonable price. This condition Is met by the Steinertone Piano company, whose factory is at 106 Park street, this city, where the mar velous Steinertone pianofortes are sold at manufacturers prices. The sur passing qualities of these great instru- ments are stated in an advertisement on another page of this paper, and 1t is a pleasure to call the attention of read CTS to it. It shows where the best piano on the market to-day can be had at a price more reasonable than can be of fered elsewhere. This is due to the fact that the Steinertone is sold only at the factory and the great cost and burden of extravagant salesrooms is thus saved to the purchaser.

With reference to the attractions at his theatre next week Manager Poli makes the following personal state ment:
 Tt affords me great pleasure to an- nonce thue appearance at my new the atre during the week of December 11th of Eph. Thompson's trained elephants. This act, which was brought to Amer ica about two weeks ago by myself and several New York managers, Is with out exception the most expensive ani- nal act ever imported, and 1t is asily the most expensive act of any kind ever shown at the popular scale of prices prevailing on my circuit. The act is of such character that 1t can only be put on where the stages are on the ground floor, and it is so high priced that only in theatres of large seating capacity, such as my new one, can it be put on with any expectation of realizing small profit
 It can be shown only for single week because of the limited number of engagements that MT. Thompson can accept in America previous to opening again in London next March. There are four of the elephants, genuine Af- rican ones, all of them captured and trained in Africa by MT. Thompson himself who is a genuine African prince of great wealth and recognized social standing in London, where his white wife has one of the most magni- ficent houses with gorgeously liveried servants in the great metropolis. She has the most costly selection of jewels possessed by any woman in England outside the royal circles, and these have been purchased mainly through the great earnings of her husband S wonderful elephants. can distinctly promise the New Haven public a grand treat in the exhibition of these won derful animals, and advise people to secure their seats well in advance dur ing the engagement.
