There is a movement on foot to in

competition for the Robert Lesley cup,
and unless present plans go astray, the
conditions governing this affair will be
changed after this year.
As golfers generally know, the Lesley
trophy Of late years has been played
for annually between teams represent

inally only the Quaker City and New

other.

In discussing the proposed plan Mr..

four teams competing. the annual event
could be made more interesting. II
would then give three Of the four teams
a chance for two full days OF play. As
it IS now, the champion team-that is.

THE Delaware & Hudson Railroad Co

THE Delaware & Hudson Railroad Co.
has tested motor car which is driven
by electric motors operated by current
generated in the car by gasoline engines
The car took" all kinds of curves and
grades without difficulty, and moved in
manner highly satisfactory to the of
ficiaIs of the road. A speed of sixty
miles an hour was easily attained, and at
times the car went much faster. Cars
of this kind are independent units which
ought to be highly effective in interur-
ban service. Ii they can be operated
more cheaply than systems of cars can
be supplied with power through wires
and trolleys, they will naturally be pre-
ferred in many instances. Cost of oper-
alton will govern, as carriers must be
prepared to make the lowest possible
rates.

EVIDENCE accumulates AS the days go
by that in the wake OF the recent fnan-

with an unemployed" problem of seri
Gus proportions. For several weeks
there has been a steady influx Of idle
men in all the great centers of popula
ton, overtaxing the various agencies of
charity while local labor bodies have
taken notice of the clamor for relief in
their own ranks. Socialist agitators
have been quick to turn this situation to
their party account by holding public
meetings and insisting that it was what
they had all along predicted as a conse-
'quence of the existing system of capital

Severe. Auto Run.

Rudolph Hakonsan Saturday gave his
new white steamer most severe test,
making trip over roads which in some
places are almost impossible for horses.
He went to Cambridge, Jefferson, Fort
Atkinson back by the way of Ed
gerton and Stoughton. The snow had
drifted so badly in some places that the
fences had to be cut and the fields used
as highway, and again places were en-
countered where it was impossible to
leave the road or account of bitches and
in these places the only thing left to do
was to run into the drifts with full
speed, which the most of the time car
ried the car through. 10 three places
the snow drifts were too long and from
four to five feet deep. Shovels had to be
used to open passage. Farmers looked
upon the auto with surprise and wonder
and some of them made the remark that
an auto was the last thing that they ex-
pected to see on those roads. Madison

The New Trusts and the Consumer

Ask Kentucky Night Rider why he
goes about under the cover of darkness
setting fire to property and terrorizing
communities, and he will tell you that
he IS trying to cripple the trust. The
numerous lecturers from the South, who
are travelling from point to point in Wis
consin and effecting an organization of
farmers to hold back crops are pursuing
peaceable and orderly course, but if
asked the same question they would no
doubt answer in the same way.
The eloquent lecturers and the Ken
lucky Night Riders may be endeavoring
to cripple dealers trust, but they are
doing it in the interest of another trust
"a producers trust To the great mass
OF the people, who buy the products of
the soil and the products of industry,
and who have felt the constantly in
creasing burden of high prices during
the past few years, it matters not par
ticle whether they Sweat blood" for the
benefit of this trust or that trust. They
very much dislike for any purpose to be
made to "sweat blood"
What the mass of the people desire to
see is the return of trade to natural
channels, subjected to no unlawful in

the long run, would be best for all the
people-for farmers and manufacturers
and dealers, as we'll as for consumers -
because it would embody the wholesome
'adage of Live and let live" All per-
manent prosperity is founded on univer-
sal fair dealing and the we'll being of the
whole community. When one class of
the community fourishes to the unfair
disadvantage of another, condition is
set up which is abnormal and bound
sooner or later to produce unpleasant re-
suits.
The Wisconsin farmers would do bet
ter to send their products to market
when they are ready than to hold them
back at the order of any organization of
whatever name, in the hope of creating
artificial scarcity and commanding high
'er prices. It is desperate game to try
to "corner" a market. Gambling specu-
lators have always found it so, and farm
'ers, il they are led into the endeavor,
will discover that natural laws operate
without respect of persons Evening

A CHICAGO paper notes the fact that
while there was a car famine in the
country year ago, the shortage has
been "cured" and that now the railroads
are seeking to find side track room for
the empty cars. The American Railway
association reported r February, 1907, a
shortage on sixty-eight railroads of
95,417 cars. On Dec. "a, 1907, one hun
dred and fifty eight roads reported that
they had 206,800 idle cars among them.

THE courts even are not above dodg
ing the main issue occasionally. When
the oleomargarine case was before the
supreme court recently everybody hoped
the question called for decision upon
the constitutionality of the state law,
but the court found it convenient to
render a decision without touching the
vital issue. Perhaps supreme court
judges are elected too often.
