Ing. There Is no longer uncertainty, for
the public has settled down as to what it
wants and makers of automobiles are COM
Ing nearer to the point of what is needed.
1t was strikingly noticeable last night that
people talked shop In a manner that said
they wanted to know things-siZes, cost Of
operation and manner of control and the
familiarity they displayed with all phases
of automobile construction was in striking
contrast to that of the show visitors a
year or SO ago. This Is a sign that the
public Is more interested in automobiles
than ever before. 1t was evident last night
that people were looking for cars; not
cheap ones necessarily, but good ones for
reasonable prices.

This treatment has been so successful, curing 90

rent the farm to you from year Y

What the Exnerts Think.

President Roosevelt has been me-
morialized on the subject of govern
mental rate regulation by the mos. ex-
pert authority CT the subject to be
found In the United States. At the
eighteenth annual convention of the
American Association Of Local
Freight Agents Associations, held
last week in Minneapolis, a strong
set OF resolutions was passed as the
unanimous opinion of the 200 dele
gates present.
Stripped of formal verbiage the me-
mortal set forth the impracticability
of the change that has been proposed,
of taking the rate making power from
the technical hands now managing the
situation, and placing it with a COM
mission totally ignorant Of practical
railroading-a commission knowing
nothing of the peculiar conditions
which regulate fair rates for transpor-
tation Of freight.
The point was insisted upon that
the experience and direct knowledge OF
the interests OF the shippers has
taught these experts that a uniform
rate per ton mile is not only incon-
| sistent with business sense, but actu-
ally detrimental to the commerce of
the country. The sense of the conven-
ton was that any further restraint
upon the right of traffic officials to
change rates for the purpose Of remov-
ing discriminating between localities
would greatly retard the business OF
the railways and cause dissatisfaction
among the majority of shippers.
In proof Of this contention the me-
mortal closed with an allusion to the
foreign railways, comparing them
with the great freight lines Of Ameri-
ca, much to the detriment Of the sys-
TENS across the water. 1t was shown
that on these roads either owned,
controlled or closely scrutinlzed by
government or its commissions, rates
are high, traffic is hampered, comfort
TO passengers is minimized, and that
the present American plan is decided
ly the better, looked at from every
point OF view.
These men are In close touch With
people, and know every foot Of ground
through which their various lines
pass; they know the various industries
developed, OF the possibilities Of them
along those lines; they are men selec-
ted from the multiplicity Iof railway
employees for their peculiar aptitude
In meeting the mercurial changes Ia
commercial conditions, and this ex-
preston Of opinion regarding what
may be expected by a change OF policy
seems worthy OF cons liberation.

Bad Notes Reveal More Transactions
Of the Fulton, Mo, Man.

FULTON, Mo, July l2-The investi-
CATION OF the business affairs of the
late j. r. Penn, the real estate and
loan agent, who committed suicide
last Wednesday, indicates that he had
defrauded citizens Of Galloway county
and other parts Of the State out OF
$50, 600 or more by giving fraudulent
notes and deeds Of trust on real es-
tate. Just before Penn committed
suicide he confessed that he had is
sued fraudulent notes to the extent Of
SIS, ZOO. Since his death however, bad
notes have come TO light that show
bis speculations probably amount to
the larger sum, 1t appears that Penn
in some cases sold notes and gave
deeds Of trust on the same piece OF
property three and four times.
