Brother Archibald of Alabama

End, birmingham, Ala, is Conference Secre-
tary for Missions for the NJ E. Church
South. Consequently Bro. Archibald feels
that considerable percentage of responsible
lty for the universe rests upon his shoulders
Particularly in the matter of foreign MISSIONS
is he inclined to construe any criticism of pre-
vaillng methods as a reflection upon his own
sacred character and work.
his beng the case, the exposure which the
JEFFERsoNIAN has been making of the un-
scriptural, unnatural and unpatriotic system
which has been set up in heathendom has
aroused the ire of Bro. Archibald, to the ex-
tent of a full page denunciation of Mr. Wat
son In the Atabana0 Christian AdU0cate.
That IS about all that our good brother
does,-just heaps abuse on Watson.
In this discussion, we have been perfectly
fair. The authorities that we have used are
books, published by such men as Bishop Bash
ford, Rev. A. II. Smith, Rev. c. H. Carpen-
ter, Rev. j. A. Scarboro, Rev T. P. Craw-
ford, and the book called Missionary Issues"
published by authority of the M. E. Church
South
Besides, we have used missionary letters
and reports as they appeared in 60 FORWARD,
and other papers devoted to foreign missions
more fairly than Mr.. Watson has dealt with
this? He did not go for ammunition to the
soothing foes of missionary work He went to
its friends. To a very great extent, he used
the testimony of consecrated missionaries who
had devoted the best years of their lives to
the foreign field. Ought Watson to be viii
fed and denounced for lifting the lid off? Is
it crime to tell the people the truth?
Bro Archibald "a meek, pious, benevolent
person, no doubt, -rushes into a denomina-
tlonal paper-religious too, we trust, -ands
does little else than belabor Watson. Accord
ing to the good Mr.. Archibald, the said Wat
son IS mighty bad man. But what has that
got to do with foreign missions? If Watson
IS as much of sinner as Archibald ntimates,
his sad case might provide a job for Home
Missions; but we cannot, for the life of us, see
what bearing Watson's character and record
can have on Foreign Missions.
In the very first paragraph of his defense
OF the indefensible our beloved brother. Ar
chibald, calls Watson "a broken down poll
hclan." That is bad enough, but listen to
this:
1t is said that Mr.. Watson once ran for Presi-
dent; he must have run for exercise Cor for some-
thing else more proitable) for no one ever en-
tertained any hope of his election.
This is a charitable insinuation that Wat
son was hired to run, for in the philosophy of
Bro. Archibald no honest man runs for Presi
dent unless there is a hope for his election
Such thing as leading a forlorn hope, en-
phaslzlng protest, standing with an unbend-
ing minority because of a principle, and in
the belief that the seed sown may bear har-
vest IN the future,-ls quixotism beyond the

. NEW MODEL HERE
Many Important Changes Are to Be
Observed in This Seasons Car.
Most Graceful Lines
Yet Seen

The new Pope-H Hartford Model ''T, y
which arrived last week, is unques-
tionably the handsomest production
ever turned out from the factory made
famous for it's classy manufacture OF
motor cars. Noiseless as hummlng-
birds wings, this powerful "4O' gllues
about the streets without greater sound
than the purring of pussy cat. ltS
graceful lines and handsome body and
gear inVoluntarily draw the attentloli
of the pedestrian
Motor is four cylinder, water cooled
engine gear case cast integral with
crank case. All meal timing gears,
extremely quiet and of special con-
struction. Cylinders cast in pairs,
heads and water Jackets integral with
cylinders. Valves located In heads, me-
chanically operated and interchange
able, operated by one set of cams and
push rods. Crank shaft of special al
10y of steel, of very rigid construction,
with very large bearings. Bearings OF
a special material selected after eX-
haustive tests, insuring extremely long
life without the necessity of adjust
ment New style of fan shaft mounted
in an eccentric, very easy of adjust
ment. Radiator of our own construc-
tion, durable and efficient.
Ignition is jump spark by coils and
storage battery with an extra set OF
dry cells. Double system by Else
mann or Bosch magnetic and coils al
extra charge.
The transmission is selective, three
speeds forward and reverse. Chrome
nickel steel shaft and gears, with en-
gaging ends of the teeth beveled by an
entirely new process. Gears change
with extreme ease. Geor changing
mechanism, with exception of hand
lever, entirely incased.
Drive is through propeller shaft, uni
versaI joints, pinion and bevel gear to

the rear axle. Pinion shaft runs on
roller bearings of large proportions.
The fabrication is by a mechanical
oiler located on the crank case having,
in addition to the regular pumps used
in our 1909 oiler, a large suction pump
and in addition to this a stand pipe
which is used as an overflow, permit
ting oil, when it reaches the level of
the stand pipe, to run back through
the stand pipe into the crank case.
The crank case is constructed with an
oil reservoir underneath and cast in
tegral with it. The crank case proper
is provided with stand pipes, fitted
with gauze strainers, enabling us to
maintain at all times a predetermined
oil level in the crank case. Oil is
pumped from the oiler to the cylinders
and the main bearings are fabricated
by splash from the crank case. The
rear axle is fabricated by splash, with
pet cocks fitted in the axle case to
maintain the proper level of OIL The
transmission is fabricated by splash.
All other parts are provided with oil
or grease cups wherever necessary.
A solid forging made of special steel
of the I-beam type forms the front
axle. The rear axle construction is of
the clutch type, or what is commonly
called floating axle,' and consists of
two special allo" steel shafts, the outer
elluS VI WHICH are squared ana on edCn
of which is fitted a six jaWed hardened
steel clutch. This clutch engages with
corresponding notches in the hubs of
the rear wheels. which run on large
Timken bearings on the outside of the
rear axle tubes. The clutch and hub
are held in engagement by means of
the hub cap, which is locked to the
axle shaft. This style of axle makes
1t possible to remove the axle shafts
and the entire differential construction
with the car standing on its own
wheels. An important Improvement is
screw adjustment for the Timken
bearings on the bevel pinion shaft
| The steering wheels is strictly ire
verstble, worm and sector type, in
closed in dustproof case and fitted with
a seventeen-inch mahogany steering
wheel. Steering joints provided with
spring buffers to relieve road shocks.
Steering cross rods and connections To-
Gated in the rear of axle. The front
end of the fore and aft rod is located
above the axle instead of underneath
as formerly. The rear end is also
raised to give about three inches more
clearance than on former models.

DEFENDS SPEEDWAY
IN ACCIDENT CASES
NeV Pope Hartford Model "T'' DemOnStratOrD DI
BUICK RACING TEAM MANAGER
ON CONDITIONS
Gives Opinion Fatalities to Drivers
Were Due to Men Being Over
worked on Track, Un-
trained

Commenting on the reports sent out
regarding the dangerous condition of
the indianapolis motor speedway, Will
liam Pickens, manager of the Buick
team and one of tie best posted men
in the country on automobile tracks,
was quoted as follows in an Indian
apolis paper:
Il do not believe it is fair to lay
the blame for accidents during the
Indianapolis races to the condition Of
the course. Since the inception of the
sport accidents have happened in au-
tomobile races on all sorts of tracks,
good and bad, and will continue to
happen so long as cars are sent at hlgh
speed.
IN my opinion, the accident to
Bouruue could not be attributed to
the condition of the track, for at the
place where his car left the track and
turned over the course was in perfect
condition and a straightaway. The
accidents to the drivers of two other
cars were caused, I think, by the phys
ical condition of the men at the wheel
they having driven in most OF the
races for three days and were simply
not able to stand the strain of a 300
mile race on the last day.
ut must be remembered that the
referees decision, when he stopped the
Wheeler and Schebler race and called
the event, off with no award of the
trophy, was to the effect that it was
the physical condition of the drivers
and not the track which caused his
action The Buick drivers, Chevrolet,
Strang, Burman and Dewitt, are thor
oughly seasoned and trained for hard
driving, and in addition to racing fre-
ouentIy, participating in both long and
hort-distance events, they are put
through a thorough course of training
under the direction of a physical cul-,
tlre expert and are rubbed and cared
for in the same manner as are ath-
letes. .. &c
THE majority of manufacturers OIL
automobiles and their drivers who par
ticipate in races seem to tnlnk that d
man can iump into the seat OF an au-
tomobile, turn on the power and drive
at a nerve -shredding pace so long as
the car holds together.
"T think well-posted automobile fol-
lowers will agree that lack of prepar-
alton of both drivers and cars are re-
snonsible for the majority of accl-
dents which have occurred in connec-
flor with automobile racing. The IN
flianapolis track, like any new course;
is rough in places, but over hundred
worlds records were broken during
+he recent meet, and none of the cars
or drivers which broke records mad an
accident or came to grief. To win au-
tornobile races and keep down accl-
dents requires a mixture OF brains
with gasoline. How long 1t Will take
automobile manufacturers TO reallze

WILL DEMONSTRATE
ACTUAL GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION AT CLEVELAND
TO INSPECT WORK
Three Hundred Miles of Brick, Asphalt
and Madina Block Will Invite
Attention of Dele
gates

r. A Pease chairman of the DEM
onstration committee of the second
annual national good roads conven-
tion, has been actively engaged during
the past two weeks conferring with
the municipal authorities of Cleveland
regarding the practical demonstrations
on the roads in and around that city,
which will be the predominant feature
during the convention from September
21 to 23.
Delegates to the convention" says
Mr.. Pease, will have the privilege
of witnessing construction of five-inch
bricks, Madina block and sheet asphalt
pavements in different parts of the
city where thirty miles of road con-
struction of these methods have been
undertaken for the present year.
An exact itinerary will be arranged
by the committee at an early date
covering the most desirable routes to
be followed by the delegates in the
tour Of inspection. The exact stage of
the different methods of construction
will govern the final determination of
what streets can be visited most ad-
vantageously.
Throughout the townships embraced
in Cuyahoga county adjacent to
Cleveland, the commissioners have
constructed up to the present lllne
more than three hundred miles of
brick and bitulithic pavings. The work
is being widely extended this season
and arrangements are being made for
an extended tour over many miles of
these thoroughfares. Most of the
work now being done is with four
inch brick laid upon four-inch Port
land concrete. This construction is of
the highest type and special informa-
ton will be given regarding 1t by
County Engineer A. B. Lea, who will
be present at all the convention meet
ings and will accompany the delegates
in their automobile inspection tours.
In the village of Cleveland Heights
about fifteen miles of macadamized
roads have recently been completed or
will be found in process of construc-
ton. A considerable amount of otling
and tarring of surfaces is also being
done, a large part by prospective ex-
hibitors at the convention who are
utilizing this opportunity to show the
effect of their dust-laying materials
and road binders upon the macadam
surfaces.

and Has Assisted In Getting Car
Ready for Race

The Pope Hartford racer, which will
compete against the Apperson and
White in the fourth annual Mt. Baldy
road race, has made it's last fast trip
over the course. William Ruess, VINO
will drive his own car in the race VIII
leave Sunday for a slow run over the
entire road. He viii leave about noon
and by maintaining a six hour sched~
ule will make the 100 miles to the top
of the mountain easily by dusk. Ruess
has tried the car out for speed and
knows It will go over the road in about
three hours. The record to date is
1888.
The car which he will use is the
former demonstrator stripped and fitted
with racing seats. 1t is a stock car

tory prepared racer
Frank Siefert, the former crack Stod-
dard-Dayton driver. has Joined the
Ruess forces and will be ready to drive
the car should anything prevent Ruess
handling the wheel two weeks from
today. Siefert has been giving the Pope
Hartford camp the benefit of his val
liable experience and will be a good
man to have in reserve. He Is dar-
ing driver and knows how to handle

America,s Expert Drivers

America has developed race of ex-
pert drivers ranking second only to
Europe and a very close second. AS in
cycle racing days the organization OF
q national circuit and steady employ
ment for drivers would almost certainly
result in bringing to America many of
the best drivers of Europe. This was
so much the case in cycling that today
at least 100 of the most prominent of
motorists in the trade may be pointed
out as men who came to America 10
race in the sos and the 90s during the
reign of cycle racing, and settled in
America. This is the case today in
cycle racing also.

1910 WINTON IS
RECEIVED HERE
HOWARD CAR COMPANY NOW
HAS CRACK CAR
Many New Features Are Seen with
Expert Eyes, and Machine Is Ac-
knowIedged One of Class
by itself

The new Little Six Winton has ar
rived and is now at the show rooms of
the w. D. Howard Motor Car company
CT South Main and Twelfth streets.
The car attracts probably more atten-
tton than the arrival of any other car
shown in Los Angeles. Many experts
and prospective buyers have already
called at the Howard Motor Car COM
pany's offices to inspect the famous
Six.
AS is generally well known, the Win
ton company turns out exclusively six
cylinder cars, and has confined it's
manufacture to this class of car, and
to no other. The Winton may there
fore be considered the pioneer six
cylinder product, and the closest at
tention of its famous builders has been
devoted to the qualities of the six
cylinder car.
In an interview with w. d. Howard,
agent for the Wintons in Southern
California, that gentleman said:
THE motor remains absolutely un-
changed-six cylinders, as horsepower
The multiple disc clutch is 50 per cent
larger in diameter, and, with four
springs, requires but slight foot pres
sure in operating. 1t has four for
ward selective speeds-a new extreme
speed having been added. A newly
perfected carburetor emphasizes the
motors beautiful operation. The frame
is lllSW6DI Ill IIOIll " give d SllOl lCL
turning radius.
Springs of increased size are semi
elliptical all around, permitting low
suspension of body. Four shock alb
sorbers and four rubber bumpers. The
front axle is of channel section pressed
steel Wheel base is 124 inches-an
increase Of four inches. The body is
longer and wider-a roOmy creation,
with bucket seats forward and wide
tonneau doors. Seven-passenge equip
ment extra. Running boards and
guards are wider. Rear guards drop
over the wheels. Running boards and
front floor are covered with pressed
aluminium. Other new features are:
tubes, longer filler and hard rubber
cap; hard rubber steering wheel rim
longer spark and throttle levers on
steering column, increased brake lever
age, solid brake spiders, long or short
pedals at purchasers option, carburetor
primer on dash, improved design aux
iliary gasoline tank on DASH dual ig-
milton, larger oil tank, oil cups on
springs, larger exhaust tube, larger
front universal joint with lubricant re-
tainer.
"As before. the Winton self-starter
starts the motor from the seat with
out cranking. An attachment initiates
tires without the use of pump. These
are exclusive Winton Six features, not
to be found on any other car. The
price remains unchanged. The record
for upkeep of the Winton for 1908 and
1909 startled the automobile world, and
with this advanced car l am wondering
what the sensation will be when the
report for upkeep is made at the end of
the 1910 season"

Fire Engine Horses Doomed

What our correspondent styles ''the
death knell of horse-drawn fire ap-
paratus' was sounded last week. The
sounding occurred at the annual con-
vention of the International Fire
Chiefs association, at Grand Rapids,
Mich, and the "kneIP' was the consen-
sus of opinion that horse-drawn appar-
atus has had its day. The superiority
of motor driven apparatus is so evil
dent, the saving being in both time
and money. that fire departments are
finding that they cannot afford to re-
frain from adding the self-propelling
to their fire-fighting plants.
Thus is the horse slowly but surely be-
ing put aside. His disappearance is
only a matter of time.-Automobile
