BRAZIL'S NEW WATERWAYS.

Bolivia east of the Andes is one OF

MASSES CLASH
WITH CLASSES
don Struck the Keynote for
Election Campaign.
(Bv Associated PreSS.)


London, Dec. 7-Chancellor of the
Exchecquer Lloyd Georges fiery
speech at the National Liberal Club
struck the keynote for the election
campaign, which promises to be i'm
mensely exciting, and it will be the
first genuine clash between masses
and classes in this country, and the
utterances are already marked by ex-
traordinary bitterness and violence OF
language. Some of the older school
of liberals shake their heads over
Lloyd Georges irreverent treatment
of the fetishes, but it is fully recog.
nized, all the same, that if the liberals
are to win they must fight, without
gloves, to counterfeit the monied, the
social and saloon influences and tories
Georges attack on Charles Garvin,
the brilliant editor of North Cliffe S
Sunday Observer, is thought undigni
fed for a man in the chancellor's po-
sition, but Garvin is really chief ad
wiser of the tory policy nowadays, and
is as reckless and irresponsible in his
toryism as he was in his earlier days
of Fenianism. He is an Irishman self
educated and self-made, and when rail
road booking clerk at Newcastle-On'
Tyne, during the widest days of the
Parnell movement, was correspondent
of the United Ireland, to which he
sent dispatches that were not only
anti-tory, but bitterly anti-English.
He is believed to be destined for
the editorship of the Times, and should
the tories win this election, his will
have been the pen that declared their
policy.
These tories have no real hope OF
winning, but they expect to reduce the
liberal majority to dependence on the
Irish party, condition of things which
they hold must mean another election
within year, when they believe they
will be triumphant.
There would have been serious
bloodshed outside the house of lords

young members of the house of lords

volvers and left in squads of five ant

Owing to the lateness of the houl
and an overwhelming force of police

fire-eating peers had no excuse fol
drawing pistols.

Christiania, Dec. 7.-Walter Ions
dale, secretary to DR.. Frederick A.
Cook, arrived yesterday at Christian
sand aboard the steamer United
States. He said he had with him all
of DR.. Cooks records and reports con-
corning his north pole expedition.
Mr.. Lonsdale said that when he left
New York DR.. Cook was suffering
from overwork, but he could not be
described as "broken down.
He added that when he delivered
the documents to the authorities of
the University of Copenhagen he
would be ready to give information
concerning DR.. Cooks future plans.
Other passengers on board the
United States said that they observed
DR.. Cook giving directions to his Sec
rotary just before the steamer left
New York.

MADE FROM HIDES.
Magnitude of the Leather Business In
This Country.
(Review of Reviews

| (hetleW Ol heNleWS.)
| The diversity of interests based on
this animal product and their extent
cover such vast field that the men
engaged in them have, apparently
ceased to regard the subject in any
large, general way, the different di-
visions occupying their attention as
separate products in themselves. To
the dealer in hides leather means, in
general, OK or COW hides for the max
ing of betting or the soles Of shoes.
The shoe manufacturer is almost GER
tain to speak of shoes and leather as
though the industries were radically
different.
The production and manufacture of
leather is verv big business all over
the world. In the United States the
traffic in raw leather alone ranks
third in the commercial enterprises
that engage the attention of our peo-
pie. If we consider. however, in ad
clifton to leather as raw material, the
details of che different articles manu-.
featured from them, and base a cal.
culation upon the number of people
employed and the variety of opera
tions, the business of manufacturing
articles from leather is the largest
and most important in the United
States. Despite this fact, the inquirer
after facts concerning leather is
amazed to find how little has beer
written on the subject.
This seems the more surprising
since it is of leather that are made
so many articles ABSOLUTELY necessar.
for the modern Americans everyday
use and comfort. To name these

LARGER MOTOR WHEELS
The Benefits That a Larger Diameter
Will Give Discussed.

There is much sense in the plea
made in Engineering for wheels of
larger diameter in motor cars. That
small wheels have some advantage is
undeniable; they are lighter, cheaper,
put less strain on the axle; it is gen,
orally simpler to set the platform on
the car with them, and it is easier to
arrange the lock for the steering gear.
On the other hand, there is much more
vibration with small than with large
wheels, owing to the unavoidable in
equalities in roads, which Is injurious
to the mechanism and increases great
ly the cost of repairs, and besides, the
concentration of loads on wheels of
small diameter involves destruction of
the road surface.
In the case of certain classes of We
hicles, such as omnibuses and wagons
for freight, in which speed is of less
Importance than the capacity for a
heavy load, and where comparative
ly little relief can be expected from
improved tires save at great expense,
the substitution of larger wheels
seems only reasonable. The sugges-
ton is also made that the call for
great speed in pleasure cars, which
marked the first introduction of the
automobile to the public favor, is
yielding to more general demand
for more durable and trustworthy ma
chimes and for reduced running ex-
penses. Here again wheels of large
diameter would help.
More important, however, than any
! improvement in the motor cars them
selves is the question of saving the
roads. The destructive effect of the
smaller tires is demonstrated by
mathematics and mechanics, but the
social difficulties are shown just as
clearly. Motor cars are destroying
the existing roads. The motor cars on
the one side demand that roads should
be brought to pitch of perfection
that will allow them to run their cars
at full speed with no harm to them
selves; this Engineering maintains
cannot be done unless they are re-
structed to railroad tracks. On the
otter side, the taxpayers who pay for
the maintenance of the roads object to
their being destroyed by vehicles that
are not suitable for them. One rem
edy proposed is the taxation of motor
cars according to the diameter of the
wheels, the smaller wheel paying the
larger tax.
1t would be better still to build mo-
tors fit to run on the roads, as they
are, and one step toward that object
would be gained, according to Engi-
nering, by increasing the diameter of
the wheels. The cost would be very
little, compared with that Of keeping
the roads in good condition. It is a
suggestion that is worth listening to-.

Death of Capt. J. R. Ward.

On last Sunday morning Capt. James
r. Ward died at his home four miles
west of Tszewell. The immediate cause
of his death was apoplexy, though he
had been in failing health for several
years. Captain Ward was born and
reared in Wythe county, Va and served
with fidelity as a Confederate soldier
throughout the Civil War. He was first
In the infantry, member of a company
from Wythe county, and early in the
war received dangerous wound, being
shot through the body. Afterwards he
became Captain in the Quartermas-
ter's Department, and was attached to
the 10th Virginia Cavalry in 1863-4-5.
The deceased was thrice married. His
first marriage was to Miss Mollie Mil
Ter, of Salem, Va; his second to Miss
Howe, of Rural Retreat, Va, and his
last to Mrs. M. ]. Leece, of this county.
The latter survives him.
Captain Ward was splendid soldier,
man of striking appearance, of ele-
CANT manner and genial disposition.
Even in old age, for he had reached the
ripe age of seventy-eight years, he was
very handsome man. That such q
man should be highly esteemed by all
who knew him goes without the saying.
The death of this Christian gentleman
and courtly old soldier will be regretted
by large circle of friends and COM
rades.
On Sunday afternoon funeral services
were held at the home of the deceased.
The remains were then brought to Taze-
well and taken on train No. 6 to Salem,
Va. The burial took place in the East
Salem Cemetery on Monday afternoon.
Resolutions passed by Tazewell Chap
ter of the Daughters Of the Confeder-
acy, upon the death of Capt. James r.
Ward
At called meeting of the Daughters
of the Confederecy, the following reso-
lutions were passed:
lst. Resolved, that in the death of
Capt. Ward, Sunday morning, August
22nd, 1909, that our circle, in which he
took such deep interest, has met with a
great loss.
End. Resolved, that his noble charac-
ter, his gentle, courtly manner and his
bravery as a Confederate soldier, will
long be remembered.
''The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring"
3rd. Resolved, that we desire to ex-
press publicly and as a body our appre-
citation of his nobility of character, for
he was without fear and without re-
proach,
4th. Resolved, that we extend our
sympathy to Mrs. Ward as an earnest
member of our organization, and that q
copy of these resolutions be sent to her,
and also that they be recorded in the
minute book of our organization.
