By HARRY WARD.

From present indications the auto
mobile and aeroplane show to be

most every prominent auto dealer in
the city has contracted for space,
while the aeroplanists are preparing
to show Washin gtonians an interest
ing collection OF airships. Manager
r. R. Johnson has the show plans
well in hand. and will strive to have
every exhibit in place when the
doors are opened on the evening Of
January p. Interesting ceremonies
Will mark the opening of the show.
The work of the artists and designers
on the decorating scheme is progress
ing finely, and, judging from the ad-
vance sketches. the coming exhibition
will excel in beauty anything which
has Paen witnessed at previous shows
in this city. As there are hfty-seNen
different makes Of cars represented
in Washington, including all the best
known makes. a splendid collection is
assured. The exhibit Of accessories
and motor supplies will be something
which is sure to furnish surprise
TO motorists, as many novelties VIII

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1.-The Mis-
sissippi Society, last week. at its first
meeting of the season, was addressed
by G. Grosvenor Dave, managing di-
rector Of the Southern Commercial
Congress. His topic was THE Ap-
preaching Victory of the South.
The speech, which was entirely ex-
temnoraneous, was sweeping sum
mary of the south's great resources;
of their significance in the later com
mercial development of the United
States; and of the opportunity which
they offered to bring the south into
victorious participation in national de-
velopment. Mr. Dave began by stat
ing that it was idle to theorize as to
what would have been the effect upon
the nations history if victory had
come to the south in 1865. The ques-
ton was too complex for any man to

PLANNING TO WORK
CONWCTS IN QUARRY

Guthrie Okla, Dec. 1.-The board
OF pa5iie STairs is planning to put a
force Of fifty convicts from the peni-
tentiary at McAlester at work quarry
ing granite on the site of the state re-
formatory at Granite as soon as a
temporary prison now under construc-
ton there can be completed. When
this building and stockade are com
pleted the prisoners will be moved TO
Granite and the work of getting out
granite and building the reformatory
will be commenced at once.
T. A. Chandler. acting secretary of
the board, stated Monday that the
foundation walls of the new building
Of the penitentiary at McAlester are
being extended 10 a sufficient width
beyond the wall Of that building 50
that it may be faced with granite later
on. There is enough granite at the
site of the reformatory to build all
the public buildings in Oklahoma.
The board Monday received word
from the contractors at Wilburton who
had been given the contract for the
frame shop building at the school OF
mines that they had arranged with
local bankers TO handle $4,000 Of the
1O-year warrants and would accept the
contract

Vinita business people enter the last
month in the good year of 1908 with
the full assurance that it will be by
far the best year in the history of the
town. There are no empty dwellings in
Vinita and there is a demand for more
and better houses to rent. A large
number Of business houses and dwell
ings are in course Of construction and
before the advent of spring will be
completed and occupied. Add to this
the fact that the country also is filling
up rapidly with thrifty people and
the prospect is alluring for the future

Approaching Victory
of the South

answer; but any theory former re-
garding the south's victory along COM
mercial lines positively led to the be-
lief that a greater nation would come
into being through greater south;
and that therefore the victory of the
south was something that the nation
as a whole should earnestly desire.
Carrying out the idea Of victory,
Mr.. Dave explained the marshalling
of southern facts as if a general were
to sit down to consider the forces that
were at his disposal, the weak points
in his own line which must be
strengthened in order to produce a
successful attack, and the forces that
were arrayed against him. The speech
was full of statistics and yet SO close
Iy associated with Interpretation that
the effect was Illuminating instead Of
bewildering. The statistics dealt with
coastline, rivers, ports, waterpowers,
minerals in relation to transportation,
forest distribution, temperature and
rainfall as aids in agricultural develop
ment, etc The effect was to show
that, regarding the gifts Of nature in
combination, no other third of the
United States could in any way vie
with the south, and yet notwithstand-
ing this immense advantage the south
was still unquestionably the least de-
veloped third Of the United States.
The weakness Of the south was shown
to lie in a lack of self-knowledge lead
ing to wavering confidence regarding
the south's future development, Mr.
Dave then proceeded to show that the
Southern Commercial Congress is a
determined effort to correlate and an
nounce all the facts Of the south in
such a manner that the men of the
south will come to an affirmative at
titude of mind that can never be dis
turbed by temporary set backs. He
showed that such an attitude of mind
would in itself bring victory because
victory is always first formed in the
mind. He also showed that such gen
eral self-knowledge would prompt the
whole south to more effective an
nouncement of its resources and thus
bring the nation at last to understand
how much Of its future greatness de-
pends upon the south's development

organizations? 1t means
that tho American town or city which
is not alive to it's opportunities will
fail to get its share Of the Increase IN
population.
American cities grow from two
sources. First. and most naturally,
from the increase of births over deaths
secondly, from the rural population
which imigrates to the city, This lat
ter is by far the larger source Of in

Capital for city development comes
largely from the country. This tend

competition is lessened and at the
same time the demand for his product

ment means something for him also.

attend the opening Of the official bids
at Hoboken. Thomas J. AIcCarey Of
Los Angeles arrived last night and
James Coffroth and Jack Gleason Of
San Francisco have been here for sew
eral weeks
Each of these four men have sub
mitted certified check for $4,000 with
his bid and it is believed that the
largest sum ever guaranteed for a
fight will be offered to Jeffries and
Johnson 1t is practically certain that
the fight will be held in Califonia.
While there have been numerous
spectacular bids from other states,
both Johnson and Jeffries have agreed
that the fight can be held only in
California, and that. therefore one Of
the four California bidders viii get the
contract.
AS the police would not permit the
opening of the bids in this city, ar
rangements were made to execute this
formality across the river in Hobolxen
and it is expected that a large delega-
ton of sporting men will accompany
the fighters and promoters tomorrow.

WOMEN DERIVE THE CHIEF
 BENEFITS OF DIVORCE.

The wife more frequently than the husband is seeking in divorce an escape from martial ills. In large measure the divorce movement is an expression of Woman's gaining independence Dur ing the tH-O decades 1SS1-l906 in the United States over 66 per cent of the dccrees wer granted on the wife's petition. Among the principal causes. only for adultery was the number granted to the husband (59.I per cent) greater than the number granted to the wife: and in this case, were social justice done. who can doubt that the ratio would be reversed? Here is q wrong due to the vicious dual standard of morality by which society still measures the sexual sins of man and woman. to the woman's disadvantage. To realize to what a frightful extent marriage is being polluted and fami- ly well-being destroyed by men. it is needful only to glance at the sickening records of the ravages of social dis ea se'' disclosed by the researches of Prince Morrow. The mention of a single fact must here suffice. Venereal diseases are five times as numerous as tubercular diseases, and on the ayerage, every year not less than 450.- 000 young men are infected by them, Ultimately. innocent wives and chill dren are the victims.
 The value of the divorce remedy for woman is revealed in various ways by the tables showing the relative mum her of decrees granted to the husband or to the wife, respectively. In S3 per nf al Iaprnac crarlfpd fnr RrTrnitN in 90.6 per cent of those granted for drunkenness. and in 100 per cent of those granted for neglect to provide, the husband was the offender and the wife the plaintiff For assertion the number of decrees reaches the aston ishing total of 367.502. or nearly 3S-9 per cent of the entire number on all grounds for the twenty years.-George Elliott Howard in the December Me Cures.

MIDDLE CLEARS
CLAIM 10 MADE HOWEVER THAT
TAFTss HOUSEHOLD CANNOT
Dc SUCCESS UNDER PRES
EMIT CONDITION.

washington, N. D., Oct. 1.---Atmo-
spheric conditions around the interior
department are much clearer now that
the CLAWS charges against Secretary
Ballinger have been disposed Of, but
there seems to be good ground for the
belief that Secretary Balllnger's vim
dication was not as sweeping as 1t
might have been. For with Clifford
Pinchot remaining at the head OF the
forest service and more or less in
charge OF the conservation programme,
Secretary Ballinger's position must be
anything but satisfactory to himself.
It is plain that this condition OF affairs
in the Taft household cannot endure
IL the present administration Is TO be
a success and no one seems to realize
this morn than the president himself
who is now engaged in the seeming
impossible task Of reconciling the diff
ferences between Pinchot and HIS cab
met officer
At the interior department the adj
mission is made that the trouble be-
tween the two men is far from settled
and that the end is not yet in sight
This view is strengthened by recent
occurrences in the west when Pinchot
and Ballinger both having Joined the
presidents encourage at Salt Lake
City failed to speak upon meeting in
the presence OF the chief magistrate.
President Taft virtually has asked both
men not to resign and IL anything his
letter to Pinchot In this connection was
the most cordial and complimentary
for In 1t he declares that MIR. Pinchot's
resignation would be one of the great
e@k losses his administration could
