The Automobile Show

The Automobile Trade Association
of Philadelphia has struck on a novel
idea as the banner event in connection
with its coming automobile show,
which is to take place in the First
Regimen Armory, in that city, on
the week of January 5th-12th. AS the
special feature of the week, it has been
decided to hold an out door automo-
bile carnival, to take place at night on
Philadelphia's great asphalted thor
oughfare Broad Street,) which is
eleven miles long and is the longest
smooth paved street in the world. The
carnival, which will take the form of
an illuminated parade, will be divided
into three sections, one for runabouts,
one for touring cars and the other for
the large limousine cars. Prizes will
be offered for the best decorated cars
in each division; the whole affair will
be under the charge of committee,
composed of representatives of the
Automobile Club of Philadelphia, the
Germantown Automobile Club and
the Quaker City Motor Club. While
this committee will look after the de-
tails and arrangements of the parade,
the carnival will not be closed to men,
bers of these organizations as it is the
desire of the Trade Association to have
every owner of an automobile within
reaching distance of Philadelphia take
part in the parade, as it is the inten-
ton of the Trade Association to make
it the greatest automobile spectacle
which has ever taken place in the
country. There will be no entrance
fee or any other expenses attached to
entering in the contest except in the
matter of decorations for the compe-
ting cars, which may be as elaborate
and as expensive as the owners desire
to make them. The date of the Carni-
val will be Monday night, January
7tn. The Trade Association will make
every effort to have the railroads run
excursion trains to and from the sur
rounding towns, in order to allow
everyone in the vicinity of the Quaker
City to witness the display. 1t is
thought that the Carnival will attract
thousands of visitors to the City, many
of whom will be interested in automo-
biles and automobiling.
The office of the Automobile Show
Committee is at Room 519, Fidelity
Building, Broad street above Arch.
Mr.. ]. III. Beck, Asst. Secretary of the
Committee, can be found there every
day during business hours, and will be
pleased to furnish any information
desiret regarding the Automobile Show
or thekNight Carnival.

Making Peter Pay For Paul.

Whether a public utility be admin
istered by the government itself or by
a private corporation, we hold that
every person who uses it should be held
to pay the cost of the service which
he receives and that no man should be
compelled by taxation or otherwise to
bear any part of his neighbor's ex-
penses for light and power, for tele-
phone service or for transportation Of
himself or of his goods.
Every proposal that a municipality
assume operation of all public utilities
and reduce rates to persons using
them, regardless of what the service
may actually cost, is an attempt to
force some men to bear the expenses
of others, because where the outlay for
operation exceeds earnings the deficit
must be made up by taxation, and this
we denounce as socialistic and there
fore hostile to justice and subversiye
of democratic government. = Bourke
Cochran.

half of the beach will remain in private
possession for summer resort develop

WAPELLA BAND PREPARING FOR
GRAND BENEFIT
Local Musicians Who Have
Organized a First Class Brass
Band VIII Do Honors In
Near Future

Five Mile Beach has flourishing
brass band made up of local musicians
of no mean ability who have styled
themselves the Wapella Band of Wild
wood. The organization was formed
early this winter and has waxed strong
in the Short time of its existence. Re-
hearsals are held every Monday evening
at the Lyndhurst, Cedar avenue, and
their repertoire of popular music is
quite extensive and continually growing
larger and more varied. The boys are
enthusiastic as to the outcome of their
work and have high hopes of securing
an engagement on the board walk next
season. They are now preparing for a
grand benefit concert to be given at
the Wildwood Casino in the near
future. The date has not positively
been decided upon but tickets will soon
be on sale. The popularity of the boys
will insure big sale of seats when
they are offered to the public.
The organization is "officered and
membered" as follows: President G.
b Lowe, piccalo; treasurer, Stanley
Kalbach, baritone; business manager,
Chas. Bradford, base drum; secretary,
A. M. Ely, alto; leader, Albert Refer,
cornet; Warren Kalbach, sliding trom-
bone; Oscar Boice, tuba; Frank Dorell,
trombone; Harry Oldfield, tenor; Geo.
Mccullough, cornet; Chas. Geisen-
berger, cornet.
We wish the boys much and con-
tinued success during the new year of
1907.

GOVERNMENT WAGES LOW.
y. r. Newcomb Gives Facts Of Inter-
est to Wage Farmers.

est to Wage Farmers.
From 1896 to 1904 the average retail
cost of the ordinary articles of food
ssed In the United States advanced no
less than II per cent Q696, to be more
sxact)-that is, the purchaser of food
for a family had to pay SILT in 1904
for the same quantity and quality of
food that 81 would purchase in 1896.
These are official statistics compiled
by the highly skilled experts employed
by the federal government, and every
housewife knows that they do not over
state the advance. Other necessities Of
life have advanced in cost with ap-
proximately equal rapidity.
Unquestionably wages ought, gener-
ally speaking, to have advanced some
what in proportion to the increase in
the cost of living In private employ
ment this has apparently taken place,
the average wages per hour reported
by the federal bureau of labor being
1876 per cent higher in 1904 than in
1896 and the average weekly earnings
1916 per cent higher. The advances
thus represented are spread all over the
country; they characterize every pri-
yate industrial enterprise and have
benefited all classes of worbmen en-
ployed in private undertakings.
How is it with public employment?
A few undertakings conducted under
public ownership employ labor like
that similarly serving private employ
ers in the same communities, and in
these cases the public rate of wages
has slowly been advanced somewhat
in proportion to the advance in the
wages privately paid. But where any
American government, municipal, state
or national, is the sole or by far the
largest employer of particular class
of labor the advances to meet increas-
ed cost of living have been so few that
the ordinary investigator will be un-
able to discover a single instance.
Throughout the postal service, among
the 25,0O0 clerical employees at Wash
ington, In the customs and internal
revenue services there have been no
advances in pay to meet the rise in
cost of food, clothing and shelter. The
pay of letter carriers, for example, re-
mains precisely where it was fixed
twenty years ago by an act approved
on Jan. 3, 1887.
The largest printing Office in the
world Is that maintained at Washing
ton by the government, and there the
federal government employs, a large
force of intelligent and highly skilled
workingmen. A change In the basis
of payment in 1899 from the piece
work to the per hour system prevents
comparisons with dates prior to the
change, but wages have remained sta
tionary since March 3, 1885, although
ihe official statisticians report that the
cost of food has advanced since the
rate of wages was fSeQ by statute full
unn12 % -nan>cente Hng the snme
years the wages Of printers in private
book publishing or job printing estab-
llshments advanced throughout the
United States as follows: Compositors,
male, 14.67 per cent; compositors, fe-
male, 20.30 per cent; press feeders,
male, 22.41 per cent; press feeders, fe-
male, 21.27 per cent; pressmen, 11.75
per cent.-H. T. Newcomb.

DO YOU OWN A HORSE?
Electric Light Plants Are Like Horses
In Some Respects.


The subject of depreciation is well
worthy of the careful consideration of
those who are prone to ignore that
item In estimating the cost of lights
supplied by municipal plants. But as
more people own horses than lighting
plants it may be helpful to consider
depreciation as applied to horses.
You pay $3.50 for a five-year-old
horse. That's original cost If you bor-
row the money you must pay interest
ON it. If you don't borrow it you lose
the interest you would get If you didn't
buy the horse. Either way it's interest.
You feed the horse, and perhaps hire a
man to take care of him. That's oper-
ating expenses. You get him shod oc-
casionally and call in the veterinarian
when he is sick. That's renewals and
repairs After few years, in spite of
the best of care, the horse is no longer
capable of doing the required work
and is sold for $50 loss of 5000 as
compared with the original cost. That's
depreciation. If you haven't laid that
by year by year out of the horses
earnings, you've got to borrow it to
buy a new horse, and you may not
find it easy to do so if you haven't re-
paid the original loan. That's what
happens to municipal plants that don't
provide an adequate depreciation fund.

Spanking has Much to Do in Deter"
mining Actors Course in Life.
David Warfield, the actor, tells the
following story of good spanking that
he got from his mother, which was
something of turning point in his
career. The incident happened in San
Francisco, of which city Mr.. Wartield
is a native.
IF it had not been for bitter pun
ishment melted out to me by my moth
er, when 1 was about 8 years OF,
age" said Mr.. Warfeld, II might be
doing my best acts on flying trapeze
instead of on the stage, and my most
effective flights would have been
aerial instead of oral. AS youngster,
the height of my ambition was to OWL
a circus and to be its bright and par
ticular star. In fact, L resolved that
this ambition should be achieved with
out further delay. So l summoned
few of my friends, and together we
organized circus in the cellar of my
home. My speciality was the trapeze.
We had sold quite a number of seats,
at BOTTLE a horseshoe, old iron, pins,
etc., in fact, anything which might be
converted into cash at a junkshop af-
ter the performance. Then the fright
full thought struck me- had no tights
what was to be done? l crept quiet
ly to my mothers room and stole
pair Of white stocking. l drew them
over my legs, dOnned a pair of short
trousers there l was.
Everything went splendidly till my
turn. Then, at a crash of kettle COW
ers made by the solitary member OF
our brass band l bounced into the
ring, got on the trapeZe, made of
br0omstick and clothesline, and there
/ swung gracefully to and fro, for
few mOments-and that was as far as
1 got with my act. My mother did the
rest She had heard the rumpus IN
the cellar, and came to see what had
caused it. l can even now remember
her placing my ear in her hand, and
being led away.
