VIC are wholly unaware Of It,"
There Is none SO blind as those

stated that Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan was
recognized as the dominant figure in
the affairs of the Amer an Tobacco
Company
The Register is \ cen: of the IS
sCciated Press ami receives ~ fall
leased wire service Ir2cis'ly as doas
:.e Daily Press.
The Register circulates largely
throughout the tobacco raising sec
ton Of which Danville is the center.
The news of the conviction OF the
American Tobacco Company in a cir
cult court of the United States con-
stituted a particularly live item for
that section Of the country.
The same Associated Press article
bringing this information also des-
cribed Mr. Ryan's relations with the
American Tobacco Company.
It cannot be possible that the edi-
torial writer Of the Register does not
read his own news columns.
1t is equally unthinkable that that
excellent newspaper should have sup
pressed an article OF such vital in
terest to Its readers.
Most heartily the Daily Press sub
scribes to the Registers sentiment
that There Is none so blind as thos"
who will not see"
The Register calmly ignored an
editorial in the Daily Press explaining
this papers conception OF the Turkish
tobacco situation. This article ap-
peared prior to the printing of the
one to which the Register now replies. ,
At least, If the Register noticed
the explanation, that copy OF The Dan
Vile paper did not reach this cffice.
There is little to be gained by a
controversy with contemporary
which ignores the elements Of fairness
and Justice, and resorts to such de-
nunciatCry terms as "lamentable ig-
norance," etc. in lieu of argument
The Daily Press SO well under
stands the suituation at Danville that
1t does not feel called upon to take
issue with the Register except when
that newspaper sees fit to indirectly
assail other journals in the State for
paying this paper the compliment OF
reproducing its editorials upon the
subject Of the tobacco situation in
the Danville section.
However. the atmosphere might be
BEAUTIFULLY clarified IL the Register
only would state whether 1t be tho
Virginia governorship or a United
States senatorship for which Mr..
Ryan may stand after he returns to|
his Nelson county home
Doubtless the Register knows.

Over ten miles of, steel, brass and
copper tubing are kept In stock by
the II. II. Franklin Manufacturing
Company at Its factory In Syracuse
for the construction of the Franklin
air-cooled motor cars. Yet this stock
Of 56.527 feet, shown by a recent in
ventory. woNld be exhausted In. six
months II no more were purchased.
The tubing ranges in size from 3-16
OF an inch to, a " inches.
Much tubing is used in Franklin
automobiles because Of Two features
which respectively contribute much
TO efficiency and strength. They are
tubular axles and an auxiliary ex-
haust, which has. u special tubing
outlet.
On o Franklin engine tho auxil-
larry exhaust really does most of tho
work of main exhaust as through
II passes seventy-one per cent of all
dead gases. II opens at the base OF
the explosion chamber Immediately
at the completion of the power
stroke. It leads to the. muffier, the
main exhaust pipe discharging, such
small percentage OF the gases that
It does not lead through the. muffer.
Tubing is used for both axles be-
cause tubular axlcs have been found
to be stronger and lighter than tho
i-beam type. Franklin axles are
made from ga per cent nickel steel
and have. an approximate tensile
strength of 100000 pounds per
square inch. ME tubing is heat
treated to ensure the greatest pos
sible efficiency.

or some other good little boxer Of his
weight
willis has been flashing a 5000 bank
roll, which he says he wants to bet on
himself against Jackson. In reply.
Dave Cockrill has called Willis and will
advance the money If the match with
the black middle weight is made.
Young Peter says he still has several
good fights left in him.
Johnny Frayne stands a fair chance
of making a lot of money for himself
now. That cleancut victory over Dick
Hyland on Friday night was a great
boost for the California lightweight,
and the next time he starts he will be
a great card. He is IN line for most
any of them outside of Nelson, now.
and as he is young and ambitious, his
prospects are exceedingly bright.
Frayne can have match with Lew
Powell at any time, but neither he nor
his manager, Heine Rafael, seems to
of them seem anxious to go back to
New York. Frayne is in demand there
and can get on with several of the live
ones in 10 round mills. AS the game
is just getting good in the east again,
Frayne probably viii depart shortly.
Friday nights fights acted as a
wonderful tonic for the local game, and,
incidentally, stirred the enthusiasm of
all the fans TO the boiling point once
again. They drew the largest and the
most representative crowd that the city
has known for two years. This is a
good sign and a feather in the cap of
the Mission club, which so successfully
promoted them.
The house was but a few dollars
short of the $4,000 mark, and had the
entrances to the Coliseum been more
numerous, several hundred more fans
would have taken in the show This
all indicates that the fans of San Fran
cisco are still alive. If they are given
the goods they will pay their money
to see them. The promoters should act
accordingly in the future.
