Automobile Limit Reached.

With every day that passes it will
become more and more difficult to
evolve a new style in automobiles un-
less an entirely new motive power is
discovered, for the tendency has been
toward the standardization of all vari-
ants belonging to the same type rathe
than for the evolution of a certain
variant into a new type. 1t is the me-
chanical history of the bicycle over
again, showing the economical neees-
sfty of few types available by the re-
duplication process. This condition in
wolves the interchange bility of the
parts belonging to each variant, and on
this basis the standardization of the
different types is slowly but surely
taking place. The man who will have
nothing of a car with a hood like a
pyramid may not know about this, but
somehow he feels it instinctively, and
his appreciation of the fitness of things
is all the more inSistent because it is
instructive and not logical, acting, as it
does, like a spur on the maker toward
purer types.-Country Life in America.

Ing comment on the manner in which
the doctors and lawyers bleed the
railroads in damage suits in this state,
while the railroad commission, ready
enough to fire it at the ROADS, has no
remedy to propose for the worst sys-
tenn of blackmail that the history of
example of the Southern Pacific rail-
railroads has yet afforded. That one
road paying $500 damages in Texas
for every mile Of its road in one year,
and in the same year paying $40 for
every mile outside the state, Is fear
fully suggestive. Who got that other

possible remedy for this in our courts?
Can the legislature do nothing? The

his chances, but the railroad black
mailer takes not the slightest risk.
Let it be understood that all this vat
amount of money comes out of the
pockets of the people who ride on
the roads and who pay the freight that
comes over them. These passenger

the railway commission virtually upon
the net earnings that the roads are
able to show, and the lower the rate
Of earnings the higher must be the
schedules for freight and passenger

of Vice President Fay is in line with
scores of other articles published in
the columns of the Texas newspapers,

railroad disabilities in this state that
