MIsSOURIANS SCARED.
To Be in Such a Big Town as New
York City.

New York, Sept. 5-Edward
Addison, who says he is from Col
umbia, Mo-, was committed to the
Tombs prison today by Magistrate
Breen in default of $1,000 bail on
a charge of carrying concealed
weapons. Instead of living up to
the traditions of his nataYe state
and showing" the Magistrate,
Addison told several conflicting
stories when arraigned, a fact
which had more or less to do with
his being held.
The man from Missouri was ar
rested last night on the Bowery.
According to the police, he had
two loaded revolvers in his posses
sion when taken into custody, He
had also $3.50 in cash, "a gold watcl
aud other jewelry. worth several
hundred dollars. Ills excuse fOl
carrying the revolyers was that he
was scared in such big town al
New York, and thought he needed
the weapons for protect on.

any hence do not see why they are
scared at the attack. All this
aimed sarcasm is not argument. I
believe the autos are here to stay.
aud they are going to keep coming.
but their reckless or imprudent use
is going to cause some very strin-
gent laws to come, also. Ithing
damages b y their reckless use
should become a misdemeaner. the
reckless use of the horse, and fines
should be made, according to dam
age done,s so severeIthat it will cause
respect for the rights of all. This
is the best way,in my judgment,to
govern the cases.

bile has excited considerable inter
est and friends of the auto are be-
coming active. They have enlisted
the support of the local nswspa-
pers and may succeed in checking
the movement.
1t is being pointed out that the
automobile has recently been put
on the market, especially for farm
work. 1t is not only suitable for
plowing, but may be used as a cul-
tivator or a reaper. 1t is claimed
that it prepares the ground aud
sOws the seed at one operation
and can be operated at a greater
rate of speed than a horse. Thus,
when blowing, it can conveniently
plOw from six to seven acres a day,
aud when not in use in the field,
the machine can be used to drive
all kinds Of farm machinery and
take the old woman and eggs to
town, and does not have to be fed
like the horse when not working.
1t is not improbable that these
arguments will prove effective and
that their weight will check the
anti-automoble movement.

ROUSE HAS AN OPINION.

EDITOR MESsAGE:-
Hlviny seen tn c0ntr0venSy thro
the papers in regard to the au-
tOmobile and as some have drawn
an idea that am opposed to their
USE will give my views. | am not
opposed to their rightful use altho
their reckless or imprudent use by
many is bringing them into great
contempt. Where they are run
carefully and not too fast so as to
run great risk of accidents, |
should think they are all right.
Fast running on a clear track out
in the country would not be so
likely to bring harm, but in cities
and where Others are on the roads
fast running has its perils. One
can scarcely take up paper but
he may find one or several acci-
dents recorded from the auto.
And ! cnnid ,,t.,ser'-.r-,,- how Two
wrongs can make one right" as IN
the larger cities the police have
autos to catch Others running toe
fast and thus cause wrecks them
selves. 1t seems to me if every
machine was numbered couspicu-
ously, they could be caught with
out making more danger.
There is another thing that does
not seem to me as fair and that is
to collect license from those run.

are also licensed. That seems to me
as an injustice,

The Auto Ques ion in Andrain.
j. w. ROUSE.
Mexico, No.,

The following is the speech the
Sturgeon Leader makes on the au-
tomobile in Audraiu:
Business seems to be rather
quiet at Mexico, Mo-, and her
newspapers and citizens in general
are lining up on two sides of the au
tomobile question. One side
wants to prohibit the use of auto
mobiles i'll Mexico and Audrain
county and the other side favors
allowing the machine the use of
the roads. 1t is like the COW
question. The fellow who has a
COW thinks she should be allowed
to run at large and the man who
does not own a COW favors keeping
them up. Of course the automo-
bile owner argues for the use of
one-half the streets and country
roads and the citizen who owns
horse but no automobile wants the
latter suppressed. He claims his
horse will scare at the sight of the
red devil" and he kicks. He
wants the privilege of travelling
over the earth us he p!elses but to
his neighbor with the new apparat-
us he refuses to agree with. There
are two sides to this question and
for months now debate will follnw.-
WouIdn it be a good idea to
gather all the horses in Audrain
county into thousand acre farm
near Mexico, turn loose about
d zen autos in the field for ten
days and educate the animals. Let
the autos score and the horses
scare.
Allow the autos to teach the
horses that it means no harm SO
long MS the horse does not get in
front of it. Let the horse find out
how many steps the auto will save
him and he'll get good.
Let's try the experiment.
