The big scene Of the play comes at

The climax is reached when Rome

posing the corrupt pra ctices of his

printed, and thus saves the owner Of
the newspaper, Portia Perkins, the
woman he has loved in vain, from the
threatened revenge Of the opposing
candidate. -

vision of better things. lie has for
| the time being gotten away from the
narrowness of comparatively little
things, and he returns with the feel
ing that this labor problem is much
bigger thing than he ever dreamed.
Needless to say. it pays to send a
delegate to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor-pays
the man who goes and the body that
sends him.
All of the above applies with Pc
culiar force to the convention now
in session in Toronto. Here are come
together the picked men in the world
of labor. They have risen from the
ranks by the Sheer force of native
ability. They have come up through

America, not that every man is a
paragon of excellence, nor that they
never make mistakes But the good

Marvellous is the patience of the
! delegates as they listen to long-drawn

willing to cut off, because of the keen
desire to give every fellow a square
deal. And always does the right side
win, provided, of course, that it can
prove its case. \Sometimes, for the
moment technicalities appear to
crowd out justice, but everybody rec
ogn1zes the fact that these men will
see that wrongs shall be righted, ulti-
mately, even though the law demands
arbitrary action in a particular case.

OPEN DELIVERY CAR
A PASSENGER CARRIER
Bodies for Either Service Give
Same Degree of Satisfaction

One of the most economical vehicles
now on the market is the % horse
power open passenger or freight de-
livery motor car being handled by Wal
ter {. Morris.
This wagon" combines in its con-
struction two features that make it
popular with the public. The first is a
perfect delivery vehicle, capable of
carrying 5000 pounds as a load, built
with view to roominess. and at the
same time maintaining a system of
compact construction that gives it it's
great motive power.
The car is made to sell for $2,475,
and can be used with equal efficiency,
both in freight and traffic service. The
body is supplied to suit the purchaser,
and the passenger car is easily con-
verted to serviceable use in delivery
service.
These cars have been found es-
pecially serviceable for light passenger
conveyance, both in stage work and
about the city. 1t is built to maintain
both speed and endurance, and makes
a splendid ''knockabout" for business
houses and institutions where both
passengers and freight must be handled.
The car is finished artistically and
neatly, and comprises every feature
for show and service.

DUE CARE NEEDED
IN WASHING AUTOS

The use of needlessly strong alkaH
soap in cleaning cars, neglect to wash
off the soap and failure to dry the var
nished surfaces perfectly are probably
responsible for more damage to paint
than all other causes combined, says
the Motor. AS matter of fact, neither
soap nor water should be used on the
car above the under sides of the mud
guards except in cases where mud is
caked on the body in large quantities.
In most cases the first signs of wear
invariably show on the vanished sur
face of the engine bonnet This is due
to the fact that it is frequently Gov
cred with mud on the return from
run and is then washed with soapy
water while the metal is still hot
Soap should not be used on the bonnet
until it is cool, and even then should
be carefully washed off. After num-
Der of washings while the bonnet is
still hot the injurious effect is quite
noticeable and within short period
the car has to be repainted long before
it's legitimate time.

Intense rivalry exists among agencies
of various motorcars as to the popu-

the general public. Every man who
owns a car swears by his own par
ticular make and nearly every man in
the street hopes to own one some day
and has ideas of the kind of car he
will own long before he has the dol
lars to buy it rattling in his pocket
A feature of the Portola automobile
show will be a contest to determine
which of the 33 makes exhibited is
the most popular car.

votes OF those present and to the win

THE QUESTION OF
OWNER OR DRIVER
In Many Cases 1t Is Not the
Paid Chauffeur That Is
TO Blame

There are many thoroughly good
paid drivers in the motor world. BY good
it is meant honest, capable men who are
properly qualified for their work. 1t is
equally true there are a large num-
Der of incapable paid drivers, whose
qualifications are very scanty, and who
in one way or another are quite un
fitted for the work, and very often
their only decentralization is that they
are cheap. On the other hand, there
are all grades of employers, from the
reasonable and considerate man to the
unreasonable and suspicious individual
that no man, whether he be honest and
capable or dishonest and incapable, can
satisfy.
There is no doubt that the grumbles
on the part of the employers and on
the part of the men are often real.
and the grievances that both classes
detail are not all ina ginary. After
all, a man can only speak from his
own experience. If an employer has
never succeeded in getting good chauf-
feur he is apt to conclude that all
chauffeurs are hopeless, and the chauf-
feurs in their turn who are unlucky
in their masters arrive at the con-
clusion that reasonable employers ex-
list only in story books.
The difficulties which have arisen
have undoubtedly been largely due to
ignorance and consequent suspicion and
unreasonableness on the part of the
employer, and to incapacity and some
times to downright dishonesty on the
part of the employed. Imagine the
position of an honest and capable
chauffeur who is engaged by a motor
car owner who knows little or moth
ing about the car, and who has pre-
viously employed a man who has been
proved to be either dishonest or in
capable, or possibly both. Now such
an employer is so ignorant that he
does not really know the difference
between the good man and the un-
satisfactory one, and consequently he
fails to appreciate or to trust either,
so that no good man will stop with
him longer than he can help. Then,
again, there is the employer who knows
how a car should be driven and how
1T should be looked after, but who,
somehow or other, never seems to
secure the right man. 1t may be urged
that he is unreasonable, but while this
is often true we know in some cases
it is not so. These things will right
themselves gradually as the ignorant
owners learn and as the capable chauf-
feurs either mend their ways or turn
their attention to other work
